Parascript is not aware of any circumstance that will or would
result in a revocation of such exemption. With respect to each

Parascript Employee Plan with an exercise price or measurement
floor that has been or may be less than the fair market value of
the underlying stock or equity units (as the case may be) as of the
date such option or stock appreciation right was granted or has any
feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of
recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of
such option or stock appreciation right.
(j)

Knowledge, threatened, Proceeding (other than routine claims for
benefits in Parascript’s Ordinary Course of Business)
relating to any Parascript Employee Plan, nor is there any basis

(ii) accelerate the time of vesting or the time of payment, or
increase the amount, of compensation due to any director, employee,
officer, former employee or former officer of Parascript. There are
no contracts or arrangements providing for payments that could

Code. No contribution, premium payment or other payment has been or
will be made in support of any Parascript Employee Plan that is in
excess of the allowable deduction for federal income Tax purposes
for the year with respect to which the contribution was made or

(n)
Except as necessary to implement the Contemplated
Transaction, including the AIS Separation, none of the Contemplated
Transactions will result in an amendment, modification or
termination of any of the Parascript Employee Plans. No written
representations have been made to any employee or former employee
of Parascript promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or
funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life or disability
coverage for any period of time beyond the end of the current plan
