Compliance with Law.  Seller, the operation of the Business, and Seller's use and ownership of its assets and the Real Property are in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and international laws or ordinances and any other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, including all energy, safety, environmental, zoning, health, export, import, trade practice, antidiscrimination, antitrust, wage, hour and price control laws, orders, rules or regulations.  Section 6.17 of the Disclosure Schedule lists any and all citations issued to Seller in the three years prior to the date hereof from any Governmental Authority, each of which citations (whether listed or not) have been properly remedied or will be remedied by the Closing Date.  No notice from any Governmental Authority or other Person has been served upon Seller claiming any violation or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation or requiring, or calling attention to the need for, any work, repairs, construction, alterations or installation on or in connection with the Business with which Seller has not complied or will not have complied with by the Closing Date.  Seller has no liability (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, direct or indirect) for past or continuing violations by Seller of any applicable law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation.  All reports and returns required to be filed by Seller with any Governmental Authority have been filed and were accurate and complete when filed.

Insurance.  Section 6.19 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list and description of all policies of insurance presently in effect with respect to Seller, the Business and the assets of Seller, or of which Seller is the owner, or beneficiary or under which Seller is an insured or loss payee.  True and correct copies of such policies of insurance have been made available to Buyer.  All such policies are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies.  No notice of cancellation or termination has been received by Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any such policy, and no act or omission has occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in cancellation of any such policy prior to its scheduled expiration date.  Seller has not been refused any insurance with respect to any material aspect of the operations of the Business nor has its coverage been materially limited by any insurance carrier to which it has applied for insurance.  Seller has not received any notice from any insurance carrier issuing any such policy that insurance rates therefore will hereafter be materially increased or that there will hereafter be a cancellation or a material increase in a deductible or a nonrenewal of any such policy.  Such policies are sufficient in all material respects for compliance by Seller with all applicable requirements of law and with the applicable requirements of all Material Contracts to which they are a party.

6.20

Customers and Suppliers.  Section 6.20 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth an accurate and complete list of the ten (10) largest customers of Seller for each of the fiscal years ended November 29, 2009 and November 28, 2008 and for the three (3) month period ended February 28, 2010 (determined on the basis of the total dollar amount of net revenues) showing the dollar amount of net revenues from each such customer during each such period.  Section 6.20 of the Disclosure Schedule also sets forth a list of the ten (10) largest suppliers of Seller in terms of dollar volume of purchases during such complete or partial fiscal years.  Seller has not received notice regarding, nor, to Seller's Knowledge, is there any basis for, any change in the business relationship or prospects of Seller with any such customer or supplier, except as set forth on Section 6.20 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9.05(a) shall not prohibit , prior to the receipt of the Required Parent Shareholder Vote, Parent from furnishing information regarding Parent and Seller to, or entering into discussions with, any Person in response to a Superior Proposal that is submitted to Parent by such Person (and not withdrawn) if: (i) Parent shall not have breached or taken any action inconsistent with any of the provisions set forth in this Section 9.05; (ii) the Board of Directors of Parent concludes in good faith, after having taken into account the written advice of its outside legal counsel and financial adviser, that such action is required in order for the Board of Directors of Parent to comply with its fiduciary duties to Parent's shareholders under applicable law; (iii) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, Parent gives Buyer written notice of the identity of such Person and of Parent's intention to furnish information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, and Parent receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement that is no less favorable to Parent than the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between Parent and Buyer; and (iv) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such information to such Person, Parent furnishes such information to Buyer (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished by Parent to Buyer).  

(c)

Parent shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) advise Buyer orally and in writing of any such Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or indication of interest and the terms thereof) that is made or submitted by any Person prior to the Closing.  Parent shall keep Buyer reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or indication of interest and any material modification or proposed material modification thereto.

(f)

Neither the Board of Directors of Parent nor any committee thereof shall authorize, cause or permit Parent or Seller to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement constituting or relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 9.05(b) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 9.05(b)).

(h)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Board of Directors of Parent may effect a Parent Change in Recommendation at any time prior to the Parent Shareholders Meeting, if (i) the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after having taken into account the written advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to Parent's shareholders under applicable law, and (ii) at least two (2) Business Days prior to such Parent Change in Recommendation, Parent shall have provided to Buyer a written notice of its intention to make such a Parent Change in Recommendation (which notice shall not be deemed to be in and of itself, a Parent Change in Recommendation).

Nothing contained in this Section 9.05 shall prohibit Parent from complying with Rule 14e-2 and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal so long as the requirements set forth in this Section 9.05 are satisfied, provided that such Rules shall in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such Rules may otherwise have under this Agreement (including any such action which may constitute a Change in Recommendation).

Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation.  Seller and Parent (each a "Restricted Party" and collectively, the "Restricted Parties") hereby jointly and severally agree that, during the Noncompetition Period, each Restricted Party will not, nor will a Restricted Party cause or give permission to any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates, either directly or indirectly to:

(a)

"Participate" (as defined below) in any "Restricted Business" (as defined below);

(b)

contact, solicit or service any Customer (as defined below) for the purpose of providing products or services competitive with those offered by the Business; or

(c)

request or advise any Customer, or any suppliers or vendors (or other business relation) of the Business, to withdraw, curtail or cancel any of their business or relations with the Business or with Buyer.

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Participate" means to have any direct or indirect interest, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, franchisor, franchisee, manager, member, creditor, owner or otherwise; provided, that the term "Participate" shall not include ownership of less than 2% of a class of stock of a publicly-held corporation that is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, so long as such Restricted Party does not have any active participation in the business or management of such entity; (ii) the term "Customer" means any customer or prospective customer of the Business that has purchased the products or services offered by the Business during the twenty-four month period preceding the Closing Date; (iii) the term "Restricted Business" means any enterprise, business or venture that is engaged in or which proposes to engage in a business the same as or competitive with the Business.

Each Restricted Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 9.06 are reasonable with respect to duration, geographic area and scope of restriction.  In such regard, each Restricted Party hereby covenants that it shall not, directly or indirectly, initiate, encourage or participate in any proceeding or otherwise do or cause to be done any act or thing to cause this Section 9.06 to be terminated, cancelled, voided, nullified, reduced in scope or effect or otherwise declared unenforceable.  If, however, any provision of this Section 9.06 is finally determined or declared by a Governmental Authority or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, invalid, contrary to public policy, void or voidable under any applicable law, the applicable court or arbitrator shall have the authority to make an equitable adjustment to the provisions of this Section 9.06 with the view to effecting, to the greatest extent possible, the original purpose and intent of the provisions of such Section, including, without limitation, the maximum durational, geographic restricted activity scope and other limitations permitted by applicable law.  In any event, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Section 9.06 shall not be affected by any amendment contemplated by or made pursuant hereto.

9.07

Nondisclosure.  Each Restricted Party acknowledges that it has acquired information of a confidential nature relating to the operation, finances, business relationships and trade secrets of the Business.  Each Restricted Party agrees that it will not, nor will they cause another Person to, during the Noncompetition Period, use, publish, disclose or authorize anyone else to use, publish or disclose, without the prior written consent of Buyer, any confidential information pertaining to the Business, including without limitation any information relating to existing or potential business, customers, trade or industrial practices, plans, costs, processes, technical or engineering data, formulas, recipes or trade secrets; provided, however, that each Restricted Party shall be prohibited from ever using, publishing, disclosing or authorizing anyone else to use, publish or disclose any confidential information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Restricted Parties have no obligation to refrain from using, publishing or disclosing any such confidential information that is or hereafter shall become available to the public other than by use, publication or disclosure by any Restricted Party.

9.08

Injunctive Relief.  Each Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.07 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer, (b) any breach by a Restricted Party of any of its covenants contained in any of Sections 9.06 and 9.07 would result in irreparable injury to Buyer, the exact amount of which may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain or estimate, and (c) the remedies at law for any such breach would not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Buyer for such breach.  Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Restricted Party, directly or indirectly, breaches any of its covenants or obligations under any of Sections 9.06 or 9.07 then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to Buyer at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief against the breaching party, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damage or harm.

9.09

Change of Name.  Simultaneously with the Closing, Seller shall change its name to a name that is not similar to and does not contain any confusingly similar words as Seller's current name, and Seller shall file any and all documents required by the Secretary of State of any state designated by Buyer, or by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, if applicable, to allow Buyer to register the name formerly used by Seller or any variation thereof with such Secretary of State or as a trademark or service mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

13.

Indemnification by Buyer.

13.01

Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the Closing, and regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of Seller or Parent or any information Seller or Parent may have, Buyer hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Parent and each of their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, owners and agents (Seller, Parent and such persons, collectively "Seller's Indemnified Persons") harmless from and against any Losses imposed on or incurred by Seller's Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

(a)

any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not Seller's Indemnified Persons relied thereon or had knowledge thereof, including in any schedules, certificates, and documents delivered pursuant hereto;

(b)

any failure of Buyer to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any document contemplated by this Agreement; or

(c)

any failure by Buyer to perform or pay as due the Assumed Liabilities.

The obligation of Buyer to indemnify, defend and hold Seller's Indemnified Persons harmless as described herein shall survive Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in Section 13.03.

13.02

Procedures. Seller's Indemnified Persons shall give Buyer prompt written notice of any written claim, demand, assessment, action, suit or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this Section 13 applies.  If the document evidencing such claim or demand is a court pleading, Seller's Indemnified Persons shall give such notice, including a copy of such pleading, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such pleading, otherwise, Seller's Indemnified Persons shall give such notice within thirty (30) days of the date any such Person receives written notice of such claim.  Failure to give timely notice of a matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of Seller's Indemnified Persons to collect such Loss from Buyer so long as such failure to so notify does not materially adversely affect Buyer's ability to defend such Loss against a third party, and then only to the extent of such adverse affect.

If Seller's Indemnified Persons request for indemnification arises from the claim of a third party, Buyer may elect to assume control of the defense of any such claim, and any litigation resulting from such claim, by notice to Seller.  Failure by Buyer to so notify Seller's Indemnified Persons of its election to defend a complaint by a third party within five (5) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Buyer not to respond to such complaint and a waiver by Buyer of any right to respond to such complaint, and within twenty (20) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Buyer not to assume control of the defense of such claim or action and a waiver by Buyer of any right to defend such claim or action.  If Buyer timely notifies Seller that Buyer elects to assume control of the defense of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Buyer shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and Buyer shall hold Seller's Indemnified Persons, to the extent provided in this Section 13, harmless from and against all Losses arising out of or resulting from any settlement approved by Buyer or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation.  Notwithstanding Buyer's assumption of the defense of such third-party claim or demand, Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third-party claim or demand at its own expense.  Buyer shall not, in the defense of such claim or litigation, consent to entry of any judgment against Seller or enter into any settlement involving Seller, which either (a) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages that will be satisfied by Buyer, or (b) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant releases Seller from all liability with respect thereto, except with the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Seller's Indemnified Persons shall furnish Buyer in reasonable detail all information Seller's Indemnified Persons may have with respect to any such third-party claim and shall make available to Buyer and its representatives all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist Buyer in the defense of such third-party claim.

If Buyer does not assume control of the defense of any such third-party claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Seller's Indemnified Persons may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate, and Buyer shall indemnify Seller's Indemnified Persons from any Loss indemnifiable under Section 13.01 incurred in connection therewith.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if (y) defendants in any action include any of Seller's Indemnified Persons and any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons (as defined in Section 14.01 of this Agreement), and if Seller's Indemnified Persons shall have been advised by counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to such Seller's Indemnified Persons but not available to Buyer's Indemnified Persons, or (z) if a conflict of interest exists between any of Seller's Indemnified Persons and Buyer's Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, then in either case, Seller's Indemnified Persons shall have the right to employ their own counsel in such action, and in such case (or in the event that Buyer does not timely assume the defense of such matter as provided above), the reasonable fees and expenses of Seller's Indemnified Persons counsel shall be borne by Buyer and shall be paid by Buyer from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefor.

13.03

Survival of Indemnification.  Except in the case of fraud, no demand or claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 13.01(a) shall be made later than the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date, except that claims for indemnification for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 may be made until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations under federal and state laws relating thereto (as such may be extended by waiver).

13.04  Materiality.  For the purposes of calculating Losses under this Section 13 for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, any qualification contained in such representation, warranty or covenant using words "material," "materially" or "material adverse effect" shall be disregarded and deemed not to include such words.  However, such modifications will have their full effect in determining whether a breach has occurred.

14.

Indemnification by Seller.

14.01

Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the Closing, and regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of Buyer or any information or knowledge Buyer may have, Seller and Parent hereby jointly and severally covenant and agree to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and each of its subsidiaries, assignees, owners, Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (Buyer and such persons, collectively, "Buyer's Indemnified Persons") harmless from and against any Losses imposed on or incurred by Buyer's Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

(a)

any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or Parent pursuant to this Agreement in any respect, whether or not Buyer's Indemnified Persons relied thereon or had knowledge thereof, including in any schedules, certificates and documents delivered pursuant hereto;

(b)

any failure of Seller or Parent to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Seller or Parent pursuant to this Agreement or any document contemplated by this Agreement;

(c)

any and all liabilities or obligations of Seller or Parent other than the Assumed Liabilities (including, without limitation, any Retained Liabilities);

(d)

any and all liabilities related to the Excluded Assets;

(e)

any liability related to any failure of Seller to comply with applicable bulk sales or transfer laws;

(f)

any and all liabilities relating to any Transaction Expenses; or

(g)

Any liability relating to a Plan, including any liabilities under any employee stock incentive plan or similar employee compensation arrangement for employees or former employees of Seller.

The obligations of Seller and Parent and their successors to indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer's Indemnified Persons harmless as described herein shall survive Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in Section 14.04.  

14.02

Procedures.  Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall give Seller prompt written notice of any written claim, demand, assessment, action, suit or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this Section 14 applies.  If the document evidencing such claim or demand is a court pleading, Buyer shall give such notice, including a copy of such pleading, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such pleading, otherwise, Buyer shall give such notice within thirty (30) days of the date it receives written notice of such claim.  Failure to give timely notice of a matter that may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of Buyer's Indemnified Persons to collect such Loss from Seller and/or Parent so long as such failure to so notify does not materially adversely affect Seller's or Parent's ability to defend such Loss against a third party, and then only to the extent of such adverse affect.

If Buyer's Indemnified Persons request for indemnification arises from the claim of a third party, Seller may elect to assume control of the defense of any such claim, and any litigation resulting from such claim, by notice to Buyer.  If Seller timely notifies Buyer that Seller elects to assume control of the defense of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Seller shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and Seller shall hold Buyer's Indemnified Persons, to the extent the claim or litigation relates to a Loss covered by Section 14.01, harmless from and against all Losses arising out of or resulting from any settlement approved by Seller or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation.  Notwithstanding Seller's assumption of the defense of such third-party claim or demand, Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third-party claim or demand at their own expense.  Seller or Parent shall not, in the defense of such claim or litigation, consent to entry of any judgment against any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons or enter into any settlement, involving any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons, that either (a) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages that will be satisfied by Seller or Parent, or (b) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant releases Buyer's Indemnified Persons from all liability with respect thereto, except with the written consent of Buyer's Indemnified Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall furnish Seller in reasonable detail all information Buyer's Indemnified Persons may have with respect to any such third-party claim and shall make available to Seller and its representatives all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist Seller in the defense of such third-party claim.

If Seller does not assume control of the defense of any such third-party claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Buyer's Indemnified Persons may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as they may reasonably deem appropriate, and Seller and Parent shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer's Indemnified Persons from any Loss indemnifiable under Section 14.01 incurred in connection therewith.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if (y) defendants in any action include any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons and any of Seller's Indemnified Persons, and if any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall have been advised by counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to such Buyer's Indemnified Person but not available to the Seller's Indemnified Persons, or (z) if a conflict of interest exists between any Buyer's Indemnified Person and any of Seller's Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, then in either case, such Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall have the right to employ their own counsel in such action, and in such case (or in the event that Seller does not timely assume the defense of such matter as provided above), the reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer's Indemnified Person's counsel shall be borne by Seller and shall be paid by Seller from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefor.

14.03

Set-Off Rights.  In addition to the set-off rights of Buyer under Section 5.02, Buyer's Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover any Losses for which Buyer's Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 14 by means of set-off against the Holdback Amount due Seller under Section 5.01(c).  At such time as the Buyer's Indemnified Persons have made claims in the aggregate equal to or greater than the Holdback Amount, or the Holdback Amount has been otherwise distributed to Seller, Buyer's Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall be entitled to proceed directly against either or both of Seller and Parent for all claims for indemnification under Section 14.

14.04

Survival of Indemnification.  Except in the case of fraud, no demand or claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 14.01(a) shall be made later than the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except that claims for indemnification for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.08(a), 6.13, 6.14, 6.15 and 6.25 may be made until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations under federal and state laws relating thereto (as such may be extended by waiver).

14.05

Materiality.  For the purposes of calculating Losses under this Section 14 for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, any qualification contained in such representation, warranty or covenant using words "material," "materially" or "material adverse effect" shall be disregarded and deemed not to include such words.  However, such modifications will have their full effect in determining whether a breach has occurred.

14.06

Damage Limitations.  Except in the case of fraud or for claims for indemnification for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.08(a) or 6.24, the parties agree that the maximum liability of Seller and Parent under Section 14.01(a) of this Agreement will not exceed $250,000.

14.07

Insurance.  Any payment made to a Buyer's Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 14 shall be net of any insurance proceeds realized by and paid to such Buyer's Indemnified Person in respect of the respective claim (after giving effect to the present value of any costs, increased retentions, premium increases and similar present and future costs and expenses associated with the respective insurance claim).  No Buyer's Indemnified Person shall be obligated to make any claim under an insurance policy if the Buyer's Indemnified Person, in its reasonable judgment, believes that the cost of pursuing such insurance claim, together with any corresponding increase in premiums or other costs or expenses, would exceed the value of the claim for which such Buyer's Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification.  No Buyer's Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to bring litigation against an insurer or take other action in respect of any insurer's denial, whether in whole or in part, of a claim, provided such Buyer's Indemnified Person reasonably determines that enforcement efforts would be likely to be unsuccessful.  No Buyer's Indemnified Person shall be obligated to recover from or pursue payment from insurance policies prior to the indemnifying Person being required to provide indemnification hereunder.  The Buyer's Indemnified Person shall provide the indemnifying Person with prompt written notice of any receipt of insurance proceeds realized in respect of claims for which payment of indemnity has previously been made, and shall make prompt delivery to the indemnifying Person of such portion of the same as equals the amount by which payment of indemnification would have been reduced pursuant to this Section if such proceeds had been realized prior to the making of such payment of indemnification.

15.

Termination and Waiver.

15.01

Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)

by mutual written consent of Seller and Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand;

(b)

by Buyer (i) if there has been a material violation or breach by Seller  or Parent of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that has not been cured within (fifteen (15) days after notice to Seller or that has rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Buyer impossible and such violation or breach has not been waived by Buyer, or (ii) if there has been a failure of any of the conditions to Buyer's obligations set forth in Section 12 hereof (unless such failure results primarily from a material breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement);

(c)

by Seller (i) if there has been a material violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after notice to Buyer or that has rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Seller impossible and such violation or breach has not been waived by Seller, or (ii) if there has been a failure of any of the conditions to Seller's obligations set forth in Section 11 hereof (unless such failure results primarily from a material breach by Seller or Parent of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement);

(d)

by Seller or by Buyer if the Closing has not occurred on or before September 17, 2010 unless extended by written agreement of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such right to terminate shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur by such date;

(e)

by Buyer if (i) the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof shall have effected a Parent Change in Recommendation (whether or not in compliance with Section 9.05); (ii) the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof shall have approved or recommended a Superior Proposal or made any recommendation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (including making no recommendation or stating an inability to make a recommendation), other than a recommendation to reject such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) Parent or Seller shall have entered into any agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Section 9.05(b)), including any letter of intent, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) Parent shall have failed to include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (v) Parent or Seller breaches any provision of Section 9.05 or Section 9.12; or (vi) the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof shall have resolved to take any action described in the preceding clauses (i) through (v) above;

(f)

by Buyer or Parent if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not approved by the Required Parent Shareholder Vote at the Parent Shareholders Meeting or any adjournment thereof; or

(g)

by Parent if, prior to approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the shareholders of Parent, the Board of Directors of Parent shall have approved a Superior Proposal, but only if prior to termination under this subsection, Parent shall have complied with the provisions of Section 9.05 and Parent shall have provided Buyer with 48 hours prior written notice of Parent's decision to terminate, which notice shall indicate in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal that Parent is permitted to provide to Buyer, including the amount and form of the proposed consideration and whether such Superior Proposal is subject to any material conditions.

In the event of termination and abandonment by any party as provided above, written notice shall forthwith be given to the other party, which notice shall specifically describe the basis for such termination.

15.02

Effect of Termination.  In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 15.01 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer or Seller, or their respective officers, directors or owners or affiliates; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 10.02, this Section 15.02, Section 15.03 and Section 16 shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15; provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for any breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies of such non-breaching party under this Agreement in the case of such a breach, at law or in equity, shall be preserved.

15.03

Termination Fee and Expenses.

(a)

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if this Agreement is terminated:

(i)

by Buyer pursuant to Section 15.01(e);

(ii)

by Parent pursuant to Section 15.01(g); or

(iii)

by Parent or Buyer pursuant to Section 15.01(f) and [a] at any time after the date of this Agreement and at or before the date of such termination an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or otherwise communicated to the senior management of Parent or any member of the Board of Directors of Parent and [b] an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or a definitive agreement is entered into by Parent or Seller relating to an Acquisition Transaction within 12 months after the termination of this Agreement;

then in each such case Buyer shall suffer direct and substantial damages, which damages cannot be determined with certainty, and to compensate Buyer for such damages Parent and/or Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of $100,000 (the "Termination Fee") and also reimburse Buyer for all of the out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer and its Affiliates (including fees and expenses of legal, financial and other advisors) in connection with or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby up to a maximum of $100,000 (collectively, the "Buyer Expenses").

(b)

If the Termination Fee and the reimbursement of the Buyer Expenses become payable, Parent and/or Seller shall make payment by a cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available funds delivered by Parent and/or Seller to Buyer within two (2) Business Days after termination of this Agreement in the case of the occurrence of any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 15.03(a) above and within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the applicable Acquisition Transaction in the case of the occurrence of any event described in Section 15.03(a)(iii) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent and/or Seller be obligated to pay the Termination Fee and the reimbursement of the Buyer Expenses on more than one occasion.  Except to the extent required by applicable law, Parent and/or Seller shall not withhold any withholding Taxes on any payment under this Section 15.03.

(c)

Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 15.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement.  Accordingly, in the event that Parent and/or Seller shall fail to reimburse the Buyer Expenses or pay the Termination Fee when due, and in order to obtain such payment, Buyer commences a suit or other proceeding that results in a judgment or similar award against Parent and/or Seller for reimbursement of the Buyer Expenses or payment of the Termination Fee, then Parent and/or Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of enforcement) in connection with such suit or proceeding, together with interest on the amounts owed at the prime lending rate prevailing at such time, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus two percent per annum from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date actually received by Buyer.

15.04

Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer or Seller may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein.  Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.  At any time on or after the Closing, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller and/or Parent, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein.

16.

Miscellaneous.

16.01

Amendment and Severability.  This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement of the parties hereto.  If any provision, clause or part of this Agreement or the application thereof under certain circumstances is held invalid (including any provision of Sections 9.06 or 9.07 of this Agreement), the remainder of such provision and this Agreement, or the applications of each provision, clause or part under other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.

16.02

Waiver.  The failure of Buyer or Seller to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights granted hereunder or the future performance of any such term, covenant or condition.  Buyer's decision to close this transaction notwithstanding its constructive or actual knowledge of the breach by Seller or Parent of one or more of their representations, warranties or obligations hereunder shall not relieve Seller or Parent of their indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such breach; in such case, Buyer specifically is relying upon Seller's indemnification obligation, as well as the underlying representation, warranty or contractual obligation.  All rights and remedies granted in this Agreement to Buyer shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of all other rights and remedies that Buyer may have.

16.03

Notices.  Any notice to be given hereunder shall be deemed given and sufficient if in writing, when personally delivered, or three (3) days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by Registered or Certified mail, or when deposited with Federal Express, United Parcel Service, or Airborne Express (or other reputable courier service) for delivery by overnight mail, or when sent by facsimile actually received by the receiving facsimile machine, in the case of Seller or Parent, to:

16.07

Bulk Sales.  The parties hereby waive compliance with any applicable bulk sales act, bulk transfers act, and all similar laws.  Except claims arising from Buyer's failure to pay the Assumed Liabilities when due, Seller and Parent hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold Buyer's Indemnified Persons harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to claims asserted against any of Buyer's Indemnified Persons under any applicable bulk sales act, bulk transfers act, or any similar law.
