Assumed Liabilities. As of the Closing, Seller shall assume and assign to Purchaser all Assumed Contracts. Seller shall pay any undertakings (payment and/or performance) necessary to cure defaults under such Assumed Contracts, as set forth on Schedule 1.3 (the "Cure Amounts") (provided, however, subject to Section 2.2(c) ------------ hereof, Purchaser shall remit to Seller all amounts necessary to pay the Cure Amounts excluding the Basket Cure Amount as additional consideration to Seller at the Closing. Thereafter in due course Purchaser shall pay and fully satisfy all liabilities and obligations of Adaptive associated with the Assumed Contracts arising after the Closing Date (the "Assumed Liabilities"). Except as set forth herein, Purchaser has not agreed to pay, shall not be required to assume, and shall have no liability or obligation with respect to, any liability or obligation, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, of Adaptive, including any liabilities or obligations associated with the Assumed Contracts arising on or before the Closing Date. 1.4. Abandonment of Certain Assets. Adaptive and Purchaser recognize that Seller and ABL, in vacating facilities in New York, Massachusetts, Texas, California, and the United Kingdom, may have, or potentially may abandon, office equipment, furniture, fixtures, and/or leasehold improvements. Adaptive will abandon or have abandoned these in good faith, with the assumption that these assets were of inconsequential value to Adaptive. 1.5. Adaptive Assets Held by Third Parties; Seller's Assets of De M inimis Value; Adaptive Accounts Receivable. With respect to the raw materials, test fixtures, ICT equipment, board level test equipment and other test equipment and software (constituting a portion of the Adaptive Assets) in the possession or control of third parties such as Solectron, Adaptive shall be required to deliver such items to Purchaser on the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. With respect to fixed assets (constituting a portion of the Adaptive Assets) that have minimal or no value to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in deciding whether such fixed assets should be excluded from the assets being sold to Purchaser under this Agreement. With respect to the Adaptive Accounts Receivable, the parties recognize that the obligors of such accounts receivable have asserted, or may assert, claims against Adaptive relating to such Adaptive Accounts Receivable. From the date of this Agreement through and including the Closing Date, the parties shall work in good faith to determine whether the accounts receivable payable by Fuzion and any accounts receivable payable pursuant to any to-be Assumed Contracts which the parties determine should be removed and not assumed by Purchaser, should be excluded as Adaptive Accounts Receivable and instead remain assets of Adaptive's bankruptcy estate. With respect to the Adaptive Account Receivable against Fuzion, if Purchaser reaches any settlement or compromise with Fuzion, such settlement shall contain, as a condition precedent to such settlement, a requirement that Fuzion withdraw and waive any claim it has asserted, or may have, against Adaptive and its bankruptcy estate. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing, Adaptive shall not enter into any compromises or settlements 7 with respect to the Adaptive Accounts Receivable, nor consummate any such compromises or settlements. SECTION 2. PURCHASE PRICE 2.1. Purchase Price. In addition to assuming the Assumed Liabilities and, subject to Section 2.2(b) hereof, paying all amounts necessary to pay the Cure Amounts excluding the Basket Cure Amount at the Closing and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.2 and 2.4 hereof, Purchaser shall pay Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) (the "Purchase Price"). On the Closing Date, except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by Adaptive and the counter-party to an Assumed Contract, Adaptive shall be required to pay the Cure Amounts directly to the counter-parties to such Assumed Contracts, in each case in accordance with Sections 1.3 and 2.2. 2.2. Payment of Purchase Price. (a) Closing Date Payment. Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price and -------------------- any other required amounts, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by Seller in an aggregate amount determined in accordance with the following formula: Purchase Price minus Escrow Deposit (as defined in Section 9.1 below) plus Purchaser's estimated portion of any Transfer Taxes (set forth in Section 2.4 below) if applicable, plus the Cure Amounts other than the Basket Cure Amount (as defined in Section 2.2(b) below), if any, which Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.3 and 2.2(b) hereof is either required to pay or elects to pay. (b) Cure Amounts. The "Basket Cure Amount" means Cure Amounts up to ------------ the maximum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for those Assumed Contracts which Purchaser and Adaptive mutually agree are necessary for Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement listed on Schedule 2.2(b) hereto (the "Necessary Assumed Contracts"). The Basket Cure --------------- Amount shall be paid by Adaptive from the Purchase Price. If the Cure Amounts necessary to cure all pre-petition defaults under the Necessary Assumed Contracts is equal to or greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) above the Basket Cure Amount (the "Excess Basket Cure Amount"), Purchaser shall not be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser) unless Adaptive or Purchaser elects to pay the Cure Amounts which exceed the Excess Basket Cure Amount. In no event shall any Cure Amounts (the "License Cure Amounts") owing under the contract listed on Schedule 2.2(b) (the "License Contract") be --------------- included in the Basket Cure Amount or the Excess Basket Cure Amount, provided, however, that if the License Cure Amounts exceed the fees receivable under the License Contract (the "License Fee Amount"), Purchaser shall not be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof, unless Adaptive or Purchaser elect to pay the amount of the License Cure Amounts that exceed the License Fee Amount. The Excess Basket Cure Amount and the License Cure Amounts for the Necessary Assumed 8 Contracts and any Cure Amounts for the Assumed Contracts that are not Necessary Assumed Contracts shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. No later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall notify Adaptive in writing which of the Cure Amounts in excess of the Excess Basket Cure Amount Purchaser has elected to pay, if any. No later than one (1) business day prior to the Closing, Adaptive shall notify Purchaser in writing which of the Cure Amounts in excess of the Excess Basket Cure Amount Adaptive has elected to pay, if any. Adaptive and Purchaser understand and agree the amounts of the Basket Cure Amount and the Excess Basket Cure Amount were calculated based upon Adaptive's Schedule G to its Bankruptcy Schedules and Statement of Financial Affairs which Adaptive provided to Purchaser. Adaptive's employment contracts shall not be included in the Necessary Assumed Contracts and the related cure amounts shall not be included in the proposed Basket Cure Amount and Excess Basket Cure Amount. 2.3. Allocation of Purchase Price; Allocation of Taxes. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated between Adaptive and the Administrators prior to the Closing as set forth on Schedule 2.3 hereto and approved by the Court as part of the Approval Order and ------------ the amount allocable and payable to the Administrators shall not be decreased based upon the reduction of the Purchase Price on account of the Basket Cure Amount. Pursuant to the direction of Seller, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to the Administrators the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the ABL Assets. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be further allocated as reasonably determined by Purchaser (and reasonably satisfactory to Adaptive) prior to the Closing on a schedule to be prepared by Purchaser (and reasonably satisfactory to Adaptive) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Seller and Purchaser agree to report this transaction for state, United States federal and United Kingdom tax purposes in accordance with such allocation. 2.4. Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, ruling, writ or injunction (collectively, "Legal Requirements") that would otherwise impose liability on Adaptive or Purchaser, as between Adaptive and Purchaser, Adaptive and Purchaser shall each pay half of any transfer, sales, use, documentary transfer, value added or similar United Kingdom, United States, state or local taxes when due. Adaptive or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, at its own expense, file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such taxes; provided, however, that, if required by the Court or any legal requirements, Purchaser will join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation; and provided, further that nothing contained in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to limit any transfer tax exemption in accordance with Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code provided for in the Approval Order. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of the Adaptive Assets, including, but not limited to, the sale of all software by remote electronic transmission. 9 2.5. CBL. Adaptive and Purchaser agree that Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to Purchaser's equity ownership in CBL.

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, such order (i) shall be entered by the Court after notice to all appropriate parties and the Approval Hearing before the 22 Court, and be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, (ii) shall state that it is effective and enforceable upon entry in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g); (iii) shall not otherwise be subject to any stay (except as provided in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g)); and (iv) must not have been vacated, modified or otherwise rendered ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction in any respect without Purchaser's consent.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Administrators and ABL will have transferred all of their right, title and interest in and to the ABL Assets to Adaptive pursuant to an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G; provided that under no circumstances shall Seller have any liability with respect to those ABL Assets transferred as provided therein or herein and, by virtue of the transfer, Adaptive will have good and marketable title to the ABL Assets. The foregoing condition precedent that by virtue of the transfer, Adaptive will have good and marketable title to the ABL Assets shall be deemed satisfied by a finding of fact in the Approval Order substantially similar to such condition precedent, provided, however, this condition precedent shall be deleted and no longer be a condition precedent in the event the Court sua sponte, and not on the basis of any objections filed or asserted by a party in interest, declines to make such finding of fact in the Approval Order. 7.6. Employment Agreements.

Payment of Wage Claims. On or before the Closing Date, all wages, benefits and other compensation (calculated through and including the Closing Date) due and payable to the then-current employees of ABL, except for any amounts that may be due under the 1998 Phantom Stock Plan of ABL or severance benefits, shall have been paid in full. 7.9. No Adverse Proceedings.

Release of Charges Against the ABL Assets. All charges against the ABL Assets shall have been released, provided, that such charges shall be retained by the party holding such charge with respect to any proceeds of the transfer referenced in Section 7.5 hereof received by ABL and shall attach to such proceeds. 7.11.

From the date of execution of this Agreement through and including the Closing: (a) There has been no material adverse change in the nature, condition and extent of the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets; 24 (b) There has been no material change in Adaptive's ownership or exclusive right to use, sell, license and dispose of, to bring actions for the infringement of and otherwise exercise all Adaptive Intellectual Property, including Adaptive Intellectual Property which comprises trade secret rights, to the extent permitted by law (hereinafter, "Adaptive Trade Secrets"); (c) There has been no material change in Adaptive's non-exclusive right to use, sell, license and dispose of all of the Adaptive Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 1.1(f) as so indicated on such schedule; --------------- (d) There has been no material changes in ABL's ownership or exclusive right to use, sell, license and dispose of, to bring actions for the infringement of and otherwise exercise all ABL Intellectual Property, including ABL Intellectual Property which comprises trade secret rights, to the extent permitted by law (hereinafter, the "ABL Trade Secrets"); (e) There has been no material change in ABL's non-exclusive right to use, sell, license and dispose of all of the ABL Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 1.1(n)(v) as so indicated on such schedule. ------------------ 7.14.

The Court shall have entered the Approval Order prior to October 15, 2001. 8.4. No Adverse Proceedings. No order, decree or judgment of any court, agency or governmental entity shall have been rendered against, any party hereto which would render it unlawful, as of the Closing Date, to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms. SECTION 9. ESCROW DEPOSIT; TERMINATION. 9.1. Escrow Deposit. Purchaser has delivered to counsel for Adaptive, to be held in trust by counsel for Adaptive, a deposit in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the "Initial Deposit"). On or before October 1, 2001, Purchaser shall deliver to counsel for Adaptive, to be held in trust by counsel for Adaptive, a supplemental deposit in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (together with the Initial Deposit and any interest thereon, the "Escrow Deposit"). If on or before October 1, 2001, Purchaser notifies Adaptive in writing that the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 7.6, 7.7, and 7.14 have not been satisfied and it does not wish to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the Initial Deposit shall be retained by Adaptive as liquidated damages and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Adaptive, the remaining balance of the Escrow Deposit (including any interest thereon) shall be returned to Purchaser as soon thereafter as is possible (subject to all other terms applicable to the return of the Escrow Deposit), and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 9.2(f). With the exception of the Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) referred to in the preceding sentence, the Escrow Deposit shall be refundable in full to Purchaser in the event that (a) a failure of any of the conditions precedent to this Agreement, as set forth in Section 7, other than as a result of a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement, including Purchaser's failure or refusal to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the executory contracts to be assigned to it, (b) Seller sells all or substantially all of the Adaptive Assets to any party other than Purchaser and Purchaser has not previously breached its obligations under this Agreement, including Purchaser's failure or refusal to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the executory contracts to be assigned to it or (c) if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close by October 30, 2001, other than as a result of a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement, including Purchaser's failure or refusal to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the executory contracts to be assigned to it. In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close as a result of a breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement, including Purchaser's failure or refusal to provide adequate assurance of future performance under the executory contracts to be assigned to it, or Purchaser's breach of the covenants in 26 Section 6.9 hereof (provided that any dispute with respect to such breach will be promptly submitted by either party to the Court for a determination as to the entitlement to the Escrow Deposit) (a "Purchaser Default"), the Escrow Deposit and any interest thereon shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller. In the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not close as a result of a breach by Seller of its obligations under the Agreements (a "Seller Default"), the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser as liquidated damages and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser, except as provided in Section 7.4(a) in the event of a successful overbid. PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN THE EVENT THAT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN FAIL TO CLOSE AS A RESULT OF A PURCHASER DEFAULT, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES SELLER MAY SUFFER OR INCUR IN SUCH EVENT.

THE RETURN OF SAID AMOUNT SHALL REPRESENT THE FULL, AGREED, AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO WHICH SELLER IS ENTITLED BY REASON OF A PURCHASER DEFAULT AND, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REMEDIES PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.9 HEREOF, SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY). THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT RATHER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS IN THE SPACES PROVIDED BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS SET FORTH ABOVE AND THAT THEY WERE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE WHO FULLY EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME OF EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.2., subject to Adaptive's right to retain Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the Initial Deposit tendered by Purchaser as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, all further obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, provided, however, that neither party shall be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any prior breach by such party of any provision of this Agreement. SECTION 10. SURVIVAL All representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and the applicable Seller's Closing Certificate, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments and other instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment shall terminate and be of no further force or effect after the Closing. However, to the extent there is any covenant, agreement or obligation herein which, by its terms, expressly contemplates performance by any of the parties after the Closing, then such covenant, agreement or obligation shall survive the Closing. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 11.1. Disclaimer Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4 hereof, Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any matter relating to the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets (including, without limitation, income to be derived or expenses to be incurred in connection with the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets, the physical condition of any personal property comprising a part of the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets or which is the subject of any Assumed Contract by Purchaser at the Closing, the value of the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets (or any portion thereof), the transferability of the Adaptive Assets (including the ABL Assets), the terms, amount, validity or enforceability of any assumed liabilities, the title of the Adaptive Assets (including the ABL Assets) (or any portion thereof), the merchantability or fitness of the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets for any particular purpose, or any other matter or thing relating to the Adaptive Assets or the ABL Assets (or any portion thereof). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Seller hereby disclaims any warranty (express or implied) of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any portion of the Adaptive Assets (including the ABL Assets). Purchaser further acknowledges that none of Seller's officers shall have any personal liability for any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that Purchaser has conducted an independent inspection and investigation of the physical condition of all portions of the Adaptive Assets (including the ABL Assets) and all such other matters relating to or affecting the Adaptive Assets (including the ABL Assets) as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate in proceeding with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, subject to all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof, Purchaser will consummate such transactions based solely upon independent inspections and investigations. Accordingly, Purchaser will accept the Adaptive Assets and the ABL Assets at the Closing "AS IS," "WHERE IS," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." 29 11.2. Objections by Counter-Parties to Executory Contracts. To the extent any counter-party to a to-be assumed and assigned contract files an objection to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to oppose such objection, not have such contract assumed and assigned, or enter into a compromise with such counter-party, provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser be permitted to terminate its obligations under this Agreement in the event the Court determines that such contract may not be assumed and assigned or that this Agreement improperly alters the rights of the counter-party under such contract. 11.3. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 11.4.

Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement is to be construed first in accordance with and governed by the Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code does not address the matter at hand, then, in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of the parties. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court as to claims made in connection with this Agreement. 31 11.8.

This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Purchaser may, without the consent of Seller, freely assign any or all of its rights and delegate any or all of its duties under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliate of Purchaser; provided however that Purchaser shall not be relieved of any liability under this Agreement as a result of such assignment or delegation. 11.9. Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed by Seller in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise was breached. Accordingly, upon entry of the Approval Order and Purchaser being declared the winning bidder through and including the Closing, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action or proceeding in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. All rights under this Section shall expire at the Closing and shall be of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.9 shall be subject to the liquidated damages provisions of Section 9.1 hereof and any other rights under this Section 11.9 shall expire at the Closing and be of no further force and effect. 11.10. Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any right or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, right or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party. 11.11. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended other than by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 11.12. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 32 11.13. Parties in Interest. None of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (if any). 11.14. Preparation of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) Purchaser and Seller jointly and equally participated in the drafting of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby, (b) both Purchaser and Seller have been adequately represented and advised by legal counsel with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (c) no presumption shall be made that any provision of this Agreement shall be construed against either party by reason of such role in the drafting of this Agreement and any other agreement contemplated hereby. 11.15. Entire Agreement. The Agreement (including schedules and exhibits hereto) sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except the non-disclosure agreements previously executed by Purchaser and Seller. 11.16. Time of the Essence; Further Assurances. The parties hereto acknowledge that time is of the essence to this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to acquire all right, title and interest in the Adaptive Assets and the ABL Assets, and Purchaser agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by Seller to obtain entry of the Approval Order; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate Purchaser to waive any requirement in Section 7 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the requirements in Section 7.4(b) of this Agreement). 11.17. Plan. Subsequent to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the party affected, this Agreement may not be modified by the terms of any plan of reorganization proposed by Adaptive and filed in the Court, or otherwise.
