If the Florida Secretary or Delaware Secretary require any changes in the Articles of Merger or Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing a certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Merger Sub, Parent and/or Company shall execute any necessary document incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SHARES

     2.1 Conversion of Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock or securities of Company or Merger Sub:

          (a) Each share of Company Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c)), shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) 0.50 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”), and (ii) cash in the amount of $2.73 (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted.

          (b) Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (i) a certificate (or direct registration) representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock payable with respect to such Company Common Stock (the “Parent Certificates”), (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(f), without interest, and (iii) the Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Company Common Stock, without interest.

          (c) Each share of Company Common Stock held of record immediately prior to the Effective Time by Company, Merger Sub, Parent or any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) of Company or of Parent shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

          (d) Each share of Common Stock, $0.01 per share par value, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.01 per share par value, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of a number of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed to evidence ownership of the same number of shares of Common Stock, $0.01 per share par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

          (e) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Exchange Ratio and Cash Consideration per share shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock), extraordinary dividend or distribution, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date or an effective date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

          (f) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger. Instead, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled by virtue of the Merger to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock which otherwise would be received by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent, with .5 being rounded up) equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) $12.40.

          (g) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Exchange Multiple” of any quantity means the product obtained from multiplying such quantity by 0.723 (the “Derivative Exchange Ratio”), and the "Exchange Quotient” of any quantity means the quotient obtained from dividing such quantity by the Derivative Exchange Ratio. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary”, when used with respect to any Person, means any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which (A) at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such corporation or other organization is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such Person (through ownership of securities, by contract or otherwise) or (B) such Person or any Subsidiary of such Person is a general partner of any general partnership or a manager of any limited liability company. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” means any individual, group, organization, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or entity of any kind.

2.2 Company Options, Company Stock Purchase Plan

          (a) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, assume all of the stock options of Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Stock Plans (as defined below) (the “Company Options”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Stock Plans” means the Company’s 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan. Each Company Option, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Parent in such a manner that after the Effective Time it shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the Company Stock Plan pursuant to which it was granted and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting resulting from the Merger on the terms provided under the Company Stock Plan pursuant to which it was granted and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder); provided, however, that (i) each such option thereafter shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the Exchange Multiple of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option, and (ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock thereafter shall equal the Exchange Quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Parent Exchange Options”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company Options that vest according to their terms as of the Effective Time shall be vested from and after the Effective Time. It is intended that Company Options assumed by Parent shall to the extent permitted by the Code qualify following the Effective Time as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent Company Options qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time and the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be applied consistent with such intent.

          (b) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, assume all warrants of Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Warrants”). Each Company Warrant, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Parent in such a manner that it shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting resulting from the Merger on the terms provided under the applicable warrant); provided that (i) each such warrant thereafter shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the Exchange Multiple of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, and (ii) the strike price per share of Parent Common Stock thereafter shall equal the Exchange Quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) of the strike price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          (c) Company shall take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company Purchase Plan”) in order to (i) shorten the participation period(s) under such plan which includes the Effective Time (the “Current Offerings”) such that a new purchase date for each such participation period shall occur on the last business day prior to the Effective Time and shares shall be purchased by the Company Purchase Plan participants on the last business day prior to the Effective Time and (ii) cause the Current Offerings to expire immediately following such new purchase date, and the Company Purchase Plan to terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time. The shares of Company Common Stock purchased under those exercised rights shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement. Company shall take any actions required under the terms of the Company Purchase Plan, including providing any applicable notices, to effect the termination of the Company Purchase Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subsequent to such new purchase date, Company shall take no action, pursuant to the terms of the Company Purchase Plan, to commence any new offering period. Employees of Company and its Subsidiaries who continue in the employ of the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent after the Effective Time shall be eligible for participation in Parent’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan in accordance with the terms, provisions and policies thereof.

     2.3 Exchange of Stock Certificates.

          (a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with a bank or trust company selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company to act as the exchange agent for the Stock Consideration and Cash Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”).

          (b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall supply or cause to be supplied to or for the account of the Exchange Agent in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.3 (i) the Parent Certificates (or direct registration) evidencing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 to be exchanged for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the payments in lieu of fractional shares provided for in Section 2.1(f), and (iii) the Cash Consideration.

          (c) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five business days after the Effective Time), Parent shall mail or shall cause to be mailed to each Holder (as defined below) a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for surrender of the Company Certificates. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Company Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, the Holder shall be entitled to

receive in exchange therefor: (i) certificates evidencing that number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Holder in accordance with this Article II; (ii) any dividends or other distributions that such Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(d); (iii) cash in respect of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.1(f); and (iv) the Cash Consideration payable to such Holder in accordance with Section 2.1, and such Company Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued to a Person who is not the registered owner of a surrendered Company Certificate unless (i) the Company Certificate so surrendered has been properly endorsed or otherwise is in proper form for transfer, and (ii) such Person shall either (A) pay any transfer or other tax required by reason of such issuance or (B) establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, from and after the Effective Time, each Company Certificate shall be deemed to represent, for all purposes, the right to receive the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock as determined in accordance with this Article II, cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.1(f) and the Cash Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Certificate” means a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock, and “Holder” means a Person who holds one or more Company Certificates as of the Effective Time.

          (d) No dividend or other distribution declared with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to Holders of unsurrendered Company Certificates until such Holders properly surrender their Company Certificates. Upon the surrender of such Company Certificates, there shall be paid to such Holders, promptly after such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions, excluding interest, declared with a record date after the Effective Time and not paid because of the failure to surrender Company Certificates for exchange.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for shares of Parent Common Stock, dividends or distributions thereon, cash in lieu of fractional shares or any Cash Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

     2.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue and pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1, cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1(f), the Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Company Certificates and any dividends or distributions

payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d); provided, however, that Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     2.5 Tax Consequences. For United States federal income tax purposes, it is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3.

     2.6 Dissenting Shares. In accordance with Section  ###-###-####(2)(a)1 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, no dissenter’s rights shall be available to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

     2.7 Required Withholdings. The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any applicable provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been delivered or otherwise paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been delivered or otherwise paid pursuant to the Merger and this Agreement.

incorporation, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power, authority or qualification has not had, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of Company and the Company Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign Person to do business, and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept), in each jurisdiction where the character of its owned or leased properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect or circumstance that, individually or when taken together with all other such similar or related changes, effects or circumstances that have occurred prior to the date of determination of the occurrence of the Company Material Adverse Effect (i) is materially adverse to the business, financial condition, results of operations, or assets and liabilities, taken as a whole, of Company, including the Company Subsidiaries, or (ii) would reasonably be expected to prevent the Company from consummating the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or to perform any of its obligations under the Agreement before the Effective Time, or (iii) materially and adversely affects Parent’s ability to vote, receive dividends with respect to or otherwise exercise ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to item (i) above, none of the following shall be deemed (either alone or in combination) to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (A) any adverse change, event or effect arising from or relating to general business or economic conditions; (B) any adverse change, event or effect relating to or affecting the computer security industry generally, which does not disproportionately affect Company; and (C) any adverse change, event or effect arising from or relating to the announcement or pendency of the Merger.

          (j) With respect to each of the Company Employee Benefit Plans, true, correct and complete copies of the following documents have been made available to Parent: (i) the plan document and any related trust agreement, including amendments thereto, (ii) any current summary plan descriptions and other material communications to participants relating to the Company Employee Benefit Plans, (iii) the three most recent Forms 5500, if applicable, and (iv) the most recent United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determination letter, if applicable.

          (l) No liability under any Pension Benefit Plan or Welfare Plan has been funded or self-insured nor has any such obligation been satisfied with the purchase of a contract from an insurance company as to which Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries has received notice that such insurance company is in rehabilitation or a comparable proceeding.

          (m) Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any termination of employment or any other service relationship, will result in an increase in the amount of compensation or benefits or accelerate the vesting or timing of payment of any benefits or compensation payable to or in respect of any employee, director or consultant of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by Company, any Company Subsidiary or other Company ERISA Affiliate relating to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Company Employee Benefit Plan which would materially increase the expense of maintaining such Company Employee Benefit Plan above the level of expense incurred with respect to such Company Employee Benefit Plan for the most recent fiscal year included in the Company Financial Statements.

          (o) To the knowledge of the Company and recognizing that applicable Treasury Regulations have not been promulgated as of the date of this Agreement, (i) no Company Employee Benefit Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the

meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code (each such Employee Plan, a “Deferred Compensation Plan”); (ii) each Deferred Compensation Plan satisfies the requirements to avoid the consequences set forth in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code; and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has (i) since October 4, 2004, granted to any person an interest in any Deferred Compensation Plan which interest has been or, upon the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture with respect to such interest, will be subject to the additional tax (including interest) imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or (b)(4)(A) of the Code, or (ii) granted to any person an interest in any Deferred Compensation Plan which interest has or will, because of the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture with respect to such interest after December 31, 2004 or because such interest is earned after December 31, 2004, be subject to the Tax imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or (b)(4)(A) of the Code, or (iii) since October 4, 2004, modified the terms of any Deferred Compensation Plan in a manner that could cause an interest previously granted under such plan to become subject to the additional tax (including interest) imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or (b)(4) of the Code.

          (p) Company and each Company Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (“WARN Act”), or any similar state or local law. In the past two years, (i) neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary has effectuated a “plant closing” (as defined in the WARN Act) affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment or facility of its business; (ii) there has not occurred a “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) affecting any site of employment or facility of Company and Company Subsidiaries; and (iii) neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary has been affected by any transaction or engaged in layoffs or employment terminations sufficient in number to trigger application of any similar state, local or foreign law or regulation.

          (a) Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries, all of which are listed on Schedule 4.1(b) of the Parent Disclosure Statement (the “Parent Subsidiaries”), and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power, authority or qualification has not had, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent and each Parent Subsidiary are duly qualified as a foreign Person to do business, and are each in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its owned or leased properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, or could not

reasonably be expected to have, individually and in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect or circumstance that, individually or when taken together with all other such similar or related changes, effects or circumstances that have occurred prior to the date of determination of the occurrence of the Parent Material Adverse Effect (i) is materially adverse to the business, financial condition, results of operations, or assets and liabilities, taken as a whole, of Parent, including the Parent Subsidiaries, or (ii) would reasonably be expected to prevent the Parent from consummating the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or to perform any of its obligations under the Agreement before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to item (i) above, none of the following shall be deemed (either alone or in combination) to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Parent Material Adverse Effect: (A) any adverse change, event or effect arising from or relating to general business or economic conditions; (B) any adverse change, event or effect relating to or affecting the computer security industry generally, which does not disproportionately affect Parent; and (C) any adverse change, event or effect arising from or relating to the announcement or pendency of the Merger.

               (iii) In the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or Company, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(d) and (B) following the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a third party has publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Company and within 12 months following the termination of this Agreement, a Company Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) is consummated or Company enters into an agreement providing for a Company Acquisition by a third party, Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee, plus the Parent Expenses, less any amounts theretofore paid to Parent pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 8.3(b). Such payment shall be made promptly, but in no event later than two (2) business days after the consummation of such Company Acquisition (regardless of when such consummation occurs if Company has entered into such an agreement with such third party within such 12-month period) in immediately available funds.

               (iv) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Company shall reimburse Parent for all documented expenses incurred by Parent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Parent Expenses”), not to exceed an amount of $1 million in

the aggregate, in immediately available funds not later than ten (10) business days after termination of this Agreement.

               (v) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e), Parent shall reimburse Company for all documented expenses incurred by Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Company Expenses”), not to exceed an amount of $1 million in the aggregate, in immediately available funds not later than ten (10) business days after termination of this Agreement.

               (vi) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(i) because the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) is not satisfied, Company shall not later than ten (10) business days after the date of such termination, reimburse Parent for the Parent Expenses, not to exceed an amount of $1 million in the aggregate, in immediately available funds.

               (vii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company pursuant to Section 8.1(h) because the condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b) is not satisfied, Parent shall not later than ten (10) business days after the date of such termination, reimburse Company for the Company Expenses, not to exceed an amount of $1 million in the aggregate, in immediately available funds.

     Each of Parent and Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent or Company (as applicable, the “Breaching Party”) fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party (the “Aggrieved Party”) makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Breaching Party for any or all of the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3(b), the Breaching Party shall pay to the Aggrieved Party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3(b) at the prime rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Acquisition” shall mean any of the following transactions (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement): (i) a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Company pursuant to which Company’s stockholders immediately preceding such transaction hold less than 50% of the aggregate equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction, (ii) a sale or other disposition by Company of assets representing in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of Company’s business immediately prior to such sale, or (iii) the acquisition by any Person (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or

issuance by Company), directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing in excess of 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Company.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement of Parent, Merger Sub and Company at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the stockholders of Company, no such amendment or modification shall (a) change the amount or form of the consideration to be received by Company’s stockholders in the Merger in exchange for the Company Common Stock, or (b) change any other term or condition of the Merger if such change would materially and adversely affect the Company or the holders of any Company Common Stock.

The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any Federal court located in the State of Delaware or in any state court in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

     9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     9.9 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be finally determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect against a party hereto, it shall be adjusted if possible to effect the intent of the parties. In any event, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall only apply as to such party in the specific jurisdiction where such final determination shall have been made.

     9.10 Interpretation. The Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word “including” shall be deemed to mean “including without limitation.”
