(a) On the tenth (10th) business day following the completion and acceptance by each party hereto of a statement (the “Final Statement”) of the Working Capital of the Business (as defined below) as of the close of business on the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date does not fall on the end of a monthly fiscal period of the Seller Group, in which case the Final Statement shall be as of the last day of Seller Group’s preceding monthly fiscal period), either (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount (together with interest as described below) by which the Working Capital of the Business as set forth in the Final Statement is greater than $7,771,000, which is equal to the Working Capital of the Business as of the date of the Reference Balance

Sheet (the “Opening Statement”) plus $1,000,000, or (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount (together with interest as described below) by which the Working Capital of the Business as set forth in the Final Statement is less than $5,771,000, which is equal to the Opening Statement less $1,000,000.00. In the event of a payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall bear simple interest at an annual rate equal to the minimum Applicable Federal Rate in effect as of the Closing Date, accruing from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

(b) The Final Statement shall be prepared by Seller in the following manner:

(i) within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the Final Statement, fairly presenting the Working Capital of the Business as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The Final Statement shall be accompanied by a report setting forth (i) the Working Capital of the Business, as reflected in the Final Statement, and (ii) the amount of any adjustment to the Closing Cash Purchase Price to be paid and by whom pursuant to Section 1.7(a) and the basis therefor;

(ii) following the Closing, each party shall give the other party hereto and any independent auditors and authorized representatives of such other party full access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Business in their possession, custody or control relating to periods prior to the Closing Date for purposes of preparing, reviewing and resolving any disputes concerning the Final Statement. Within thirty (30) days following the delivery to Buyer of the Final Statement, Buyer shall notify Seller of any dispute of any item contained in the Final Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of any such dispute within such thirty (30)-day period, the Final Statement shall be deemed to be accepted by Buyer. In the event that Buyer shall so notify Seller of any dispute, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible; and

(iii) if Buyer and Seller Group are unable to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) days of Seller’s delivery of such notice (the “Resolution Period”), then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to a “big four” independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) selected by Seller Group and Buyer within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period. If Seller Group and Buyer are unable to agree on the Independent Accounting Firm, then Buyer and Seller Group shall each have the right to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Independent Accounting Firm, which shall not have had a material relationship with Seller Group or Buyer within the past two (2) years. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, an engagement letter containing customary terms. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Seller Group and Buyer. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by Seller Group and Buyer, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, that need be made to the Final Statement to comply with the standards referred to in Section 1.7(a). The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be requested to be made within thirty (30) days of its selection, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Final Statement, as modified by resolution of any disputes by Buyer and Seller Group or by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be the “Final Statement.”

(c) The term “Working Capital of the Business” means the Current Assets (as reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet) and Inventory (as reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet) less the Accrued Liabilities and Other (as reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet) (excluding Deferred Cost of Goods Sold, Deferred Revenue and Employee Liabilities (as such items are reflected on the Reference Balance Sheet)), as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and prepared on a basis consistent with the Reference Balance Sheet; provided, however, that assets and properties (other than current assets and current liabilities that are

7 Assumed Liabilities) that were not reflected in the Opening Statement shall not be reflected in the Final Statement.

(d) The amounts, if any, referred to in Section 1.7(a) shall be paid by the paying party under Section 1.7(a) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the other party.

Any books and records that are transferred to Buyer hereunder will be preserved by Buyer until at least the third anniversary of the Closing Date and will be made available (for review and copying at Seller’s expense) to Seller and its authorized representatives upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to the extent reasonably required by Seller, including, without limitation, to the extent reasonably required in connection with audit, accounting, tax litigation, federal securities disclosure or other similar needs.

Section 2.2 Mail and Check Handling

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to open all mail and packages received by Buyer and addressed to Seller related to the Business. Buyer shall promptly forward to Seller any mail or packages not related to the Business. Buyer and Seller agree to promptly notify each other of any phone calls they receive that relate to the other’s business.

(b) After the Closing Date, Buyer may deliver to Seller any checks or drafts payable to Seller or its affiliates that are properly payable to Buyer or its affiliates, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer on a monthly basis for the amounts collected from such checks or drafts. Seller agrees that it will promptly transfer or deliver or cause to be promptly transferred or delivered to Buyer or its designee any cash or other property received directly or indirectly by it or any of its affiliates after the Closing that are properly the property of Buyer or its affiliates.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Seller Group shall promptly remit to Buyer any funds that are received by Seller Group and that are included in or that represent the Assets. Seller Group: (i) hereby irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints Buyer as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Seller (with full power of substitution) effective as of the Closing Date, and hereby authorizes Buyer, in the name of and on behalf of each member of the Seller Group, to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify, file and record any document, to institute and prosecute any legal proceeding and to take any other action (on or at any time after the Closing Date) that Buyer may deem appropriate for the purpose of (i) collecting, asserting, enforcing or perfecting any claim, right or interest of any kind that is included in any of the Assets, (ii) defending or compromising any Claim or legal proceeding relating to any of the Assets, or (iii) otherwise carrying out or facilitating any of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

Seller agrees to take all actions necessary to

8 obtain board and stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for each member of the Seller Group, as applicable.

Section 2.3 Employees and Employee Benefits

(a) Prior to the Closing, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, offer to employ any Business Employee (as defined in Section 3.14(b)) on an at-will basis and pursuant to the terms of the offer presented by Buyer, which may vary from the terms of employment with Seller. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller with such information relating to the terms of Buyer’s offer of employment to the Eligible Employees as is reasonably necessary to allow Seller to determine whether or not the Eligible Employees may be entitled to severance benefits from Seller. Buyer shall communicate in writing to Seller as soon as practicable the names of those Business Employees to whom Buyer determines it will not make offers of employment. Buyer shall finalize its list of Business Employees to which it will make offers of employment (the “Eligible Employees”) and communicate that list to Seller no later than the earlier to occur of: (i) Closing or (ii) the forty-fifth day after the date of this Agreement. When the Buyer communicates to Seller in writing that it will not offer employment to an Eligible Employee, such person shall cease to be an Eligible Employee but shall continue to be a Business Employee. Buyer shall make good faith offers of employment to at least 300 Business Employees. Such Eligible Employees who become employees of Buyer following the Closing are referred to herein as the “Affected Employees.” Prior to Closing, Seller Group shall provide Buyer with a list of all independent contractors currently providing services primarily related to the Business. Seller Group shall be responsible, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, for all obligations and Employment Liabilities of Business Employees up to and including the Closing Date, including any severance payments of such employees arising in connection with the termination of their employment with the Seller Group, the Ancillary Agreements and any Employment Liabilities. Seller Group shall be responsible for all obligations to and Employment Liabilities of all Business Employees up to and following the Closing, except for Affected Employees, with respect to whom Seller Group shall be responsible for all obligations and Employment Liabilities up to the Closing. Following the Closing, the Affected Employees shall become participants in the employee benefit plans of Buyer as the Affected Employees become eligible to participate in such plans pursuant to their terms. For purposes of this Agreement, Buyer’s employee benefit plans include, but are not limited to, all “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and employee fringe benefit programs of Buyer. Seller Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts, upon Buyer’s request, and at Buyer’s expense to assist in the transition of Affected Employees to Buyer. From and after the Closing, Seller Group shall (i) sponsor, (ii) assume or (iii) retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible for all Employment Liabilities whether incurred before, on or after the Closing.

Effective as of the Closing Date, each Affected Employee who was a participant in the Seller Savings Plan shall cease to have any contributions made on his or her behalf, except for contributions attributable to compensation earned on or before such date under such Seller Savings Plan.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, none of the provisions contained herein shall operate to duplicate any benefit provided to any Affected Employee or the funding of any such benefit.

(d) Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Affected Employee any right to continued employment for any period by reason of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein is intended to confer upon any Affected Employee any particular term or condition of employment other than with respect to the particular employee benefit plans or severance plans, policies or arrangements expressly referred to in this Agreement.

(e) Buyer shall neither assume nor substitute for any outstanding options to purchase Seller common stock or any other equity-based compensation award held by Affected Employees.

However, to the extent Seller retains or hires more than six Ineligible Employees at any time through the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer a sum equal to twelve (12) months of salary then paid by Seller of each such retained or hired employee (in excess of six).

Section 5.7 Supplemental Disclosure

Seller Group, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall supplement or amend its Disclosure Schedules prior to the Closing Date as required to make the representations and warranties true and correct.

Section 5.8 Transfers Not Effected as of Closing

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the conveyance, assignment or transfer of any Asset that by its terms or by operation of Law cannot be freely conveyed, assigned, transferred or assumed. To the extent the parties hereto have been unable to obtain any governmental or any third party consents or approvals required for the transfer of any Asset and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the terms of any Asset, Seller Group shall continue to be bound by the terms of such applicable Asset and Buyer shall pay, perform and discharge fully all of the obligations of Seller Group or any of its affiliates thereunder from and after the Closing. Seller Group shall, without consideration therefor, promptly pay, assign and remit to Buyer all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such performance, and Buyer shall promptly pay and/or remit to Seller expenses reasonably incurred by Seller Group related thereto. Seller Group shall exercise or exploit its rights in respect of such Assets only as reasonably directed by Buyer and at Buyer’s expense. Subject to and in accordance with Section 5.3, for not more than a hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall continue to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents or approvals that have not been obtained at the earliest practicable date. If and when any such consents or approvals shall be obtained, then Seller Group shall promptly assign its rights and obligations thereunder to Buyer without payment of consideration and Buyer shall, without the payment of any consideration therefor, assume such rights and obligations. The parties shall execute such good and sufficient instruments as may be necessary to evidence such assignment and assumption. If any such consent shall not be obtained, Seller Group shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for Buyer the benefits intended to be assigned to Buyer from the Assets, including enforcement at the cost and for the account of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller Group against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise. If and to the extent such arrangement cannot be made, (i) Seller shall retain any such Assets, (ii) such Assets shall be deemed to be “Rejected Assets,” and (iii) Buyer shall have no obligation pursuant to Section 1.1(c) or otherwise with respect to any Assumed Liabilities or other obligations attributable to any such Rejected Assets.

The Seller Group shall, and shall cause its representatives to, cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s commercially reasonable efforts contemplated in Section 2.3 for Eligible Employees, and, in furtherance thereof, shall permit, and shall cause their representatives to permit, the representatives of Buyer to meet with Eligible Employees of the Seller Group and to distribute to such Eligible Employees such forms and other documents relating to their employment with Buyer as Buyer may reasonably determine; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations of the Business.

Section 5.10 Prohibition on Solicitation and Hiring

During the period prior to the Closing, no member of the Seller Group shall hire or retain as an employee or consultant, or offer to hire or retain as an employee or consultant, or solicit the services of, any Eligible Employee for any position unrelated to the Business unless and until an Eligible Employee has rejected the offer of employment by Buyer. During the two (2)-year period immediately following the Closing Date, no member of the Seller Group shall hire or retain as an employee or consultant, or offer to hire or retain as an employee or consultant, or solicit the services of, any Affected Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.10 shall prevent the Seller Group after the Closing Date from publishing any general advertisement or similar notice in any newspaper or other publication of general circulation and hiring

or retaining as a consultant any Affected Employee who responds to such general advertisement without any solicitation by any member of the Seller Group or any of its respective directors or officers; provided, further, however, that after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply with respect to any Affected Employee beginning 90 days after such Affected Employee’s employment terminates with Buyer.

Section 5.11 No Negotiation

Seller shall ensure that, during the period prior to the Closing, neither it nor any member of Seller Group nor any of its or their representatives, directly or indirectly: (a) solicits or encourages the initiation of any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person (other than Buyer) relating to any Acquisition Transaction (as defined below); or (b) participates in any discussions or negotiations with, or provides any non-public information to, any person (other than Buyer) relating to any proposed Acquisition Transaction. Seller Group shall provide notice to Buyer within two (2) business days of the receipt of any proposed Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Section 5.11, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean any transaction involving the sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Business or Assets (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 5.1); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.11 shall prohibit any transaction, discussions, negotiations or sharing of information (including with respect to the Assets or the Business) regarding (i) the acquisition of ownership or control of all or any portion of the capital stock or other securities of Seller, (ii) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or (iii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction involving Seller as long as in connection with any such transaction the buyer or acquiring person agrees in writing to (in the case of an asset transaction), or agrees in writing to cause the members of the Seller Group so acquired to, comply with their obligations hereunder.

Section 5.12 Confidentiality

From and after the date of this Agreement (including from and after the Closing Date) and continuing until the Seller Survival Date (as hereinafter defined), the Seller Group shall hold all Confidential Information with the same degree of skill and care that it would exercise in similar circumstances in carrying out its own business to prevent the disclosure or accessibility to others (including to any entity that controls Seller Group) of the Confidential Information and agree not to reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any Confidential Information to any person or entity (other than Buyer) except prior to Closing in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and further agrees that, except as otherwise permitted under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Seller will not, and it will ensure that none of the other members of the Seller Group will, at any time use any Confidential Information that relates exclusively to the Business or that will be transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose other than for purposes of carrying out the Business prior to the Closing. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any non-public information related to the Business or any of the Assets; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include (i) information related to the Business that was already publicly known and in the public domain prior to the time of its initial disclosure to any member of the Seller Group or (ii) information related to the Business that is or becomes available to any member of the Seller Group after the Closing from a source which, to the Knowledge of Seller, is not under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; provided, further, the members of the Seller Group may reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial or administrative or legislative body or committee. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Seller Survival Date” means (x) two (2) years following the Closing Date in respect of all Confidential Information other than Confidential Information relating to Transferred Intellectual Property; and (y) in respect of Confidential Information relating to Intellectual Property, five (5) years following the Closing Date, or in either case, the date on which such Confidential

Information becomes publicly known through no action or inaction of the Seller Group or any of its affiliates.

Buyer and Seller also acknowledge that leases for two properties currently occupied by Business Employees, those located in Tokyo, Japan and Vienna, Virginia listed on Schedule 1.1(a)(i)(B) of the Disclosure Schedules, may terminate prior to the Closing. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with respect to the disposition of those Business Real Properties and the Business Employees located therein, which disposition may include the relocation of such employees to other premises in the immediate vicinity or elsewhere, or the extension of such leases on terms mutually agreeable to Buyer and Seller.

Section 5.14 Insurance Claims

Following the Closing, and with respect only to Assets not transferred at the Closing and Assumed Liabilities, Seller Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue claims under its insurance policies related to the Business which have been made prior to the Closing or, if occurrence type policies, even if made after the Closing, and will remit amounts recovered to Buyer to the extent of Buyer’s interests, if any. In the event of damage to or destruction of any property constituting the Assets prior to the Closing, Buyer, with the assistance of Seller Group, at Seller Group’s expense, shall pursue any claims available under Seller Group’s insurance policies and Seller Group will remit amounts recovered to Buyer to the extent of Buyer’s interests, if any. In addition, in the event that any property employed in the Business is condemned by a governmental authority prior to Closing, Seller Group (effective as of the Closing) shall appoint Buyer, as its agent, to pursue any claims it may have against such governmental authority with respect to such property.

Section 5.15 Tax Matters

As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Closing Cash Purchase Price and the value of the Assumed Liabilities, each to the extent properly taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (the “Section 1060 Purchase Price”) shall be allocated as determined jointly by Buyer and Seller among the Assets being sold hereunder (the “Allocation”). Such Allocation shall be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of an adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof or if Buyer successfully asserts a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Seller Group and Buyer (i) shall be bound by the Allocation, and any amendments thereto, (ii) shall prepare and file all Tax Returns (including, without limitation, Federal Form 8883) and financial statements in a manner consistent with the Allocation, and any amendments thereto, and (iii) shall take no position, and shall cause its subsidiaries to take no position, inconsistent with the Allocation, or any amendment thereto, on any Tax Return, in any proceeding before any taxing authority or otherwise. In the event that the Allocation, or any amendment thereto, is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party concerning resolution of such dispute. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the Allocation within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, each of Buyer and the Seller Group may file IRS Form 8594 and any other Tax Returns allocating the Section 1060 Purchase Price among the Assets in the manner each believes appropriate,

All representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, but, except as provided in Section 8.2, shall not survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties

contained in Sections 3.2 and 4.2 shall survive the Closing indefinitely (subject to any applicable statutes of limitations) and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.13 and 3.15 shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (as the same may be extended). The applicable time periods specified in the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1 are each referred to as an “Indemnity Period.” This Section 7.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties that contemplates performance after the Closing.

Section 7.2 Seller Group’s Agreement to Indemnify

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, Seller Group shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons, agents and representatives and their successors and assigns (collectively, “Buyer Indemnitees“) from and against all liability, demands, claims actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred) asserted against or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of (i) a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III, (ii) Excluded Liabilities, or (iii) a breach of any agreement or covenant of Seller in this Agreement (collectively, “Buyer Damages”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a representation or warranty is breached in accordance with its terms (including any materiality standard contained therein), Buyer Damages for such a breach shall be determined without giving effect to any materiality standard contained therein.

(b) Seller Group’s obligations to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.2(a) hereof with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement are subject to the following limitations:

(b) Buyer’s obligations to indemnify Seller Indemnitees pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 7.3(a) hereof with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement are subject to the following limitations:

(i) In the absence of fraud or willful misconduct, no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made by Buyer with respect to any claim for indemnification with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty until the aggregate amount of Seller Damages under such claims exceeds an amount equal to $1,000,000 in the aggregate and, in such event, indemnification shall be made by Buyer for all claims in excess of such amount, up to a maximum of $16.0 million;

Section 7.4 Third Party Indemnification

The obligations of any indemnifying party to indemnify any indemnified party under this Article VII with respect to Buyer Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be, resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (a “Claim”), will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Any party against whom any Claim is asserted will give the party required to provide indemnity hereunder written notice of, and copies of correspondence and documentation relating to, any such Claim promptly after learning of such Claim, and the indemnifying party may at its option undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any party seeks equitable relief against Buyer with respect to any Claim, Buyer shall have the option to undertake the

defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and at its own expense, and the parties shall agree upon an arrangement to protect the rights of Buyer, with respect to the equitable relief claim, and Seller with respect to the remaining claims, provided that if after good faith negotiations the parties are unable to reach such an arrangement, Buyer may elect to either (i) tender the defense of all claims by such third party to Seller, or (ii) assume the defense of all claims by such third party, in which case Seller shall have no further obligation with respect to the Claim or indemnity therefore. Failure to give prompt notice of, or copies of correspondence and documentation relating to, a Claim hereunder shall not affect the indemnifying party’s obligations under this Section 7.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice or copies of such correspondence and documentation. If the indemnifying party, within thirty (30) days after notice of any such Claim, fails to assume the defense of such Claim, the indemnified party against whom such claim has been made will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the expense, of the indemnifying party, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, (i) the indemnified party shall not settle a claim for which it is indemnified without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action, suit or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment to be borne by the indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 7.5 Sole Remedy

After the Closing, (a) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII, (b) the specific performance provisions of Section 9.13 and (c) the provisions set forth in Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(f), 5.3(c), 5.4(b), 5.8, 5.17, 9.1 and 9.8 are the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees with respect to any of the matters described in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a).
