Section 1.7. NONASSIGNABLE ASSETS. Nothing in this Agreement nor
the consummation of the Transaction or the other transactions

party in the event of an assignment or transfer (a "NONASSIGNABLE
ASSET"), unless and until such consent shall have been obtained or

efforts to obtain as expeditiously as possible any consent that may
be required and to satisfy any condition necessary to the

shall be borne by the Company. Unless and until any such consent
that may be required is obtained or condition satisfied, to the
extent permitted by applicable Laws and by the terms of the
applicable Nonassignable Asset, the Company and the Buyer will
cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to establish an
arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Buyer
under which the Buyer would obtain the claims, rights and benefits
and assume the corresponding liabilities and obligations (to the
extent such obligations would not constitute Excluded Liabilities)
under such Nonassignable Asset (including by means of any
subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) or under
which the Company would enforce for the benefit of the Buyer, with
the Buyer assuming and agreeing to pay the Company's obligations
(to the extent such obligations would not constitute Excluded
Liabilities), any and all claims, rights and benefits of the
Company against a third party thereto. With respect to any
Nonassignable Assets for which such an arrangement has been
established, the Company shall promptly pay over to the Buyer the
amount of all payments received by the Company in respect of such
Nonassignable Assets. 6 ARTICLE II PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION OF

as presently conducted. (b) The Company is qualified to do business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its
assets (including Acquired Assets) or properties or conduct of its
Business requires such qualification, except where the failure to
be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in
the aggregate, result in any Company Material Adverse Effect. The
organizational documents of the Company, as previously made
available to the Buyer, are in full force and effect. The Company
is not in violation of its organizational documents. Section 4.2.
SUBSIDIARIES. The Company has no Subsidiaries and does not own or

this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the
Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special
Committee, and, except for the Company Shareholder Approval, no
other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are
necessary to authorize the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. As of the date hereof, each member of the
Board (with the Chairman of the Board abstaining) and the Special
Committee of the Board has unanimously resolved to recommend that
the Company's shareholders approve this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including the Special Committee's
recommendation, the "RECOMMENDATION"). 8 This Agreement has been
duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and,
assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement
of the Buyer, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general
equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity

of, or filing with, any United States or foreign governmental or
regulatory agency, commission, court, body, entity or authority
(each, a "GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY") is necessary, under applicable Law,
for the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby. (c) The execution and delivery by the Company
of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions
hereof by the Company will not (i) result in any violation of, or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
require consent under, or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of
any benefit under any material loan, guarantee of indebtedness or
credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease,
agreement, contract, instrument, permit, Company Permit,
concession, franchise, right or license binding upon the Company or

encumbrances, pledges, security interests, equities or charges of
any kind (each, a "LIEN") upon any of the properties of the Company
(including the Acquired Assets), (ii) conflict with or result in
any violation of any provision of the certificate of incorporation
or by-laws, in each case as amended, of the Company or (iii)
assuming that the consents and approvals referred to in SECTION
4.3(b) are duly obtained, conflict with or violate any applicable
Laws, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), for any such
violations, defaults or conflicts which would not be materially
adverse to the Company. Section 4.4. OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR.
The Board and the Special Committee have received the opinion of
Foundation Ventures LLC to the effect that, as of the date hereof,
the Purchase Price is fair to the Company from a financial point of

anti-takeover statute or regulation (including the New Jersey
Shareholders' Protection Act), nor any takeover-related provision
in the Company's amended certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
as amended, would (a) prohibit or restrict the ability of the
Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any
related agreement or the Company's ability to consummate the
Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, (b) have the effect of invalidating or voiding this
Agreement or any provision hereof, or (c) subject the Buyer to any
impediment or condition in connection with the exercise of any of
its rights under this Agreement. The Board has taken all necessary
actions, including the approval of the Transaction and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to remove any obstacle
under the New Jersey Shareholders' Protection Act to consummate the
Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement such that the New Jersey Shareholders' Protection Act no
longer applies to the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, including the consummation of the Transaction and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Section 4.7.

(including all related notes and schedules) of the Company (such
financial statements being consolidated to the extent applicable)

material respects the financial position of the Company, as at the
respective dates thereof, and the results of its operations and its
