WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Paligent, Merger Sub and IFL, respectively, Paligent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub and the holders of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock in IFL (the “IFL Stockholders”), have each approved, as being in the best interests of the respective corporations and their stockholders, the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into IFL, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of IFL (“IFL Common Stock”) (except for shares of IFL Common Stock held by IFL, Paligent, Merger Sub and any other subsidiary of Paligent), shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, be converted into the number of shares of Paligent’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Paligent Common Stock”) equal to the Conversion Number;

WHEREAS, in connection with, and immediately prior to the consummation of, the Merger, a reverse stock split of Paligent Common Stock shall be consummated; pursuant to which each outstanding share of Paligent Common Stock shall be converted into 0.05 of a share of Paligent Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”);

WHEREAS, IFL Stockholders holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of IFL (“IFL Preferred Stock”) have agreed to convert their shares of IFL Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of IFL immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger;

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger and the Reverse Stock Split, the stockholders of Paligent and IFL immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.01) will own five percent (5%) and ninety-five percent (95%), respectively, of Paligent Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Effective Time;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of an agreement between Richard J. Kurtz (“Kurtz”) and Paligent (the “Kurtz Contribution Agreement”), immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Paligent shall issue shares of Paligent Common Stock to Kurtz in exchange for a portion of the debt due Kurtz under the Kurtz Note;

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as tax-free under the provisions of Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, Paligent, Merger Sub and IFL desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to set forth the terms upon which Merger Sub will merge with and into IFL;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

SECTION 1.01.             Filing of Certificate of Merger; Effective Time

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be duly prepared, executed and acknowledged in accordance with the DGCL and thereafter delivered to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for filing as provided in the DGCL simultaneously with the Closing (as defined in Section 2.01). The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.02.             Effects of the Merger.

(a)           At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, (i) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into IFL, and IFL shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”); (ii) all of the issued and outstanding IFL Common Stock shall be converted as provided in Section 1.03; (iii) the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; and (iv) the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto and to any other applicable laws, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of IFL and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, all debts, liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. As promptly as possible after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall change its name to IFL Inc. and Paligent shall change its name to International Fight League, Inc.

SECTION 1.03.             Conversion of Securities.

As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof:

(a)           each outstanding share of IFL Common Stock shall be converted into that number of shares of Paligent Common Stock equal to the Conversion Amount. All such shares of IFL

2

Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing such shares of IFL Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the number of shares of Paligent Common Stock to be issued in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.04, without interest; and

(b)           each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and each certificate evidencing ownership of any such shares of Merger Sub shall thereupon evidence ownership of the same number of shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)           Each outstanding option to purchase shares (each “IFL Stock Option” and, collectively, “IFL Stock Options”) issued pursuant to the IFL 2006 Equity Compensation Plan or any other agreement or arrangement, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Paligent. Each IFL Stock Option so assumed by Paligent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such IFL Stock Option immediately prior to the Closing (including without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), except that (i) each IFL Stock Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Paligent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of IFL Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such IFL Stock Option immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Conversion Amount, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Paligent Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Paligent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed IFL Common Stock will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of IFL Common Stock at which such IFL Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Conversion Amount, rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(d)           Prior to the Closing Date, IFL agrees to take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of Sections 1.03(a), (b) and (c), including obtaining all necessary consents and releases, if any, from the holders of IFL Stock Options.

SECTION 1.04.             Exchange Procedures.

(a)           As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Paligent shall mail to each IFL Stockholder a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of certificates representing shares of IFL Common Stock (including certificates that had previously represented shares of IFL Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Certificates”) in appropriate and customary form with such provisions as the board of directors of Paligent after the Merger may reasonably specify. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Paligent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly and properly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of shares of Paligent Common Stock, including, without limitation, fractional shares, that such holder has a right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this

3

Article I, together with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in Section 1.05 hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.04, each Certificate shall, at and after the Effective Time, be deemed to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate, Paligent Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 1.04, together with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in Section 1.05 hereof, and the holders thereof shall have no rights whatsoever as stockholders of Paligent. Shares of Paligent Common Stock issued in the Merger shall be issued, and be deemed to be outstanding, as of the Effective Time. Paligent shall cause all such shares of Paligent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights.

(b)           If any certificate representing shares of Paligent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of Paligent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered.

(c)           In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and upon the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Paligent may reasonably direct as an indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Paligent will issue in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate one or more certificates representing shares of Paligent Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 1.04 and such person shall be entitled to the dividend and other distribution rights provided in Section 1.05 hereof.

(d)           If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to three years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any payment in respect hereof would otherwise escheat or become the property of any governmental unit or agency), the payment in respect of such Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

(e)           Paligent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Certificate surrendered for shares of Paligent Common Stock (and dividends or distributions with respect to Paligent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.05 hereof) such amount as Paligent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or provisions of any state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such Certificate.

4

SECTION 1.05.             Dividends and Distributions.

(a)           No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Paligent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of a Certificate entitled by reason of the Merger to receive certificates representing Paligent Common Stock until such holder surrenders such Certificate as provided in Section 1.04 hereof. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid by Paligent to the person in whose name certificates representing shares of Paligent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the terms of this Article I (i) at the time of the surrender of such Certificate, the amount of any dividends and other distributions theretofore paid with respect to that number of whole shares of such Paligent Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other distributions had a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends and other distributions payable with respect to that number of whole shares of Paligent Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other distributions have a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender.

SECTION 1.06.             No Liability.

Neither Paligent nor IFL shall be liable to any holder of shares of IFL Common Stock or Paligent Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01.             Closing.

Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article VIII, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event on written notice of less than two (2) business days) after all of the conditions set forth in Article VII are satisfied or, to the extent permitted thereunder, waived, at the offices of Dechert LLP, located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York, or at such other time and place as may be agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the date of such Closing being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”).

SECTION 3.01.             Organization of Paligent and Merger Sub; Authority.

Each of Paligent and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business. Subject to the receipt of stockholder approval, the execution, delivery and performance by each of Paligent and Merger Sub of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Paligent and Merger Sub, including, without limitation the approval of the board of directors of Paligent and the special committee of the board of directors of Paligent (the “Special Committee”). The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Paligent and Merger Sub and, assuming that the Transaction Documents constitute a valid and binding obligation of the other parties thereto, constitute a valid and binding obligation of Paligent, enforceable against Paligent in accordance with its terms. Paligent is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification or license would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Paligent Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 3.07). Paligent has heretofore delivered or made available to IFL complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Paligent and Merger Sub, the minute books and stock transfer records of Paligent and Merger Sub, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Neither Paligent nor Merger Sub is in violation of its organizational documents.

The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of which 1,000 shares are issued and outstanding on the date hereof. At the Effective Time and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the authorized capital stock of Paligent shall consist of 75,000,000 shares of Paligent Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Paligent Preferred Stock, of which 32,490,948 shares of Paligent Common stock (as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, but not including shares of Paligent Common Stock issued in connection with the rounding up of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split or shares issued in connection with the Kurtz Contribution Agreement) shall be issued and outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.02 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, no other shares of any other class or series of Paligent Capital Stock or securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for Paligent Capital Stock (“Paligent Capital Stock Equivalents”) are authorized, issued or outstanding. The outstanding shares of Paligent Capital Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of, and are not subject to, any preemptive, subscription or similar rights. To Paligent’s knowledge, none of the outstanding

6

Paligent Capital Stock was issued in violation of any Law, including without limitation, federal and state securities laws. Except as set forth in the Paligent SEC Documents and Section 3.02 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding warrants, options, subscriptions, calls, rights, agreements, convertible or exchangeable securities or other commitments or arrangements relating to the issuance, sale, purchase, return or redemption, and, to Paligent’s knowledge, voting or transfer of any shares, whether issued or unissued, of Paligent Capital Stock, Paligent Capital Stock Equivalents or other securities of Paligent. On the Closing Date, the shares of Paligent Common Stock for which shares of IFL Common Stock shall be exchanged in the Merger will have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, such shares of Paligent Common Stock, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 3.03.             Subsidiaries.

Section 3.03 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule sets forth, with respect to each Paligent Subsidiary, its type of entity, the jurisdiction of its organization, its authorized and outstanding capital stock, partnership interests or equivalent ownership interests and Paligent’s current ownership of such shares or interests. Except as set forth in Section 3.03 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, each of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Paligent Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned by Paligent or another Paligent Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens and were not issued in violation of, nor subject to, any preemptive, subscription or similar rights. Except as set forth in Section 3.03 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding warrants, options, subscriptions, calls, rights, agreements, convertible or exchangeable securities or other commitments or arrangements relating to the issuance, sale, purchase, return or redemption, to Paligent’s knowledge, voting or transfer of any shares, whether issued or unissued, of any Paligent Subsidiary.

Each Paligent Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification or license would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Paligent Material Adverse Effect. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby, has engaged in no other business activities and has conducted its operations only as contemplated hereby.

Except as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery by Paligent of the Transaction Documents does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof

Except as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, no Governmental Approval is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Paligent or any Paligent Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by Paligent of the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 3.10.             Real Property.

Except as set forth in Section 3.10 of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries owns or leases any real property.

SECTION 3.11.             Intellectual Property.

(a)           Section 3.11(a) of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) all trade name registrations, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, patents and copyright registrations (and any pending applications for any of the foregoing) that are owned by Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries, and (ii) all Intellectual Property that is licensed to Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries by third parties and material to their business. Except as set forth in Section 3.11(a) of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, none of Paligent or the Paligent Subsidiaries has received any written notice that the rights of Paligent or the Paligent Subsidiaries in their Intellectual Property have been declared unenforceable or otherwise invalid by any court or Governmental Entity. Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable steps to maintain and protect the rights of Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaries in and to each item of their Intellectual Property, it being understood that Paligent has not registered Intellectual Property which it may have a legal right to register. To the knowledge of Paligent, there are no rights of any Person that would interfere with or prevent the

11

use by Paligent of any of the rights of Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaries in and to any Intellectual Property that is material to their business. To the knowledge of Paligent, there is no existing third party infringement, misuse, or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property of Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3.11(a) of the Paligent Disclosure Schedule, with respect to any agreements by which Paligent or the Paligent Subsidiaries are licensed or otherwise are granted the right to use any item of third party Intellectual Property that is material to the respective businesses of Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaires (the “Paligent IP Licenses”), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not cause a breach of such agreements or cause the licensor under such agreements to be able to terminate such agreements.

(b)           All Taxes due and owing by Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been timely paid.

(d)           No director, officer, employee or accountant responsible for Tax matters of Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries expects any Taxing Authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. No foreign, federal, state or local Tax audits or administrative or judicial Tax proceedings are pending with respect to Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries. Neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has received from any Taxing Authority (i) any notice indicating an intent to commence any audit or other review, (ii) any request for information related to Tax matters, or (iii) any notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted or assessed by any authority against Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries. Each deficiency resulting from any audit or examination relating to Taxes of Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has been timely paid. No issues relating to such Taxes were raised by the relevant Taxing Authority in any

15

completed audit or examination that can reasonably be expected to recur in a later taxable period. None of Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

(e)           Neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries is a party to or is bound by any Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnity obligation or similar agreement, arrangement or practice with respect to Taxes, whether or not in writing (including any advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other agreement relating to Taxes with any Taxing Authority).

(f)            Neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date, as a result of an adjustment under Section 481 of the Code, a change in method of accounting, any intercompany transactions or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 1502 of the Code, the installment method of accounting, the long-term contract method of accounting, the cash method of accounting, any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law or for any other reason. No items of income or expense will be reallocated under Section 482 of the Code or any similar provision under state Law for any Post-Closing Tax Period with respect to any material transactions or arrangements between or among any of IFL, Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries.

(g)           (i) Neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has made with respect to it, or any property held by it, any consent under Section 341 of the Code, (ii) no property of either Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries is “tax exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, and (iii) neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries is a party to any lease made pursuant to Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended and in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1968.

(h)           Each of Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaries has made available to IFL (i) complete and correct copies of all its Tax Returns for all taxable periods and (ii) complete and correct copies of all private letter rulings, revenue agent reports, information document requests, notices of proposed deficiencies, deficiency notices, protests, petitions, closing agreements, settlement agreements, pending ruling requests and any similar documents, submitted, received or agreed to by or on behalf of Paligent or any of the Paligent Subsidiaries and relating to Taxes for all taxable periods for which the statute of limitations has not yet expired.

(i)            None of Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has any liability for the Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee, successor, by contract or otherwise.

(j)            The unpaid Taxes of Paligent and each of the Paligent Subsidiaries (i) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on Paligent’s books and records provided to IFL, and (ii) shall not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and

16

practice of Paligent and the Paligent Subsidiaries. Since their inception, neither Paligent nor any of the Paligent Subsidiaries has incurred any liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in GAAP, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(k)           It is the present intention of Paligent to continue at least one historic business line of IFL, or to use at least a significant portion of IFL’s historic business assets in business, in each case within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d).

IFL is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification or license would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an IFL Material Adverse Effect. IFL has heretofore delivered or made available to Paligent complete and correct copies of the articles of incorporation and by-laws of IFL, the minute books and stock transfer records of IFL, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. IFL is not in violation of its organizational documents.

Except as set forth in Section 4.04 of the IFL Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery by IFL of the Transaction Documents does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance with the terms hereof and thereof conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, (a) the terms and conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of IFL, (b) any Laws applicable to IFL or the property or assets of IFL, or (c) give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties of IFL under, any Contracts to which IFL is a party or by which IFL or any of its assets may be bound, except, in the case of clauses (b) and (c), for such conflicts, violations or defaults as to which requisite waivers or consents will have been obtained prior to the Closing or which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have an IFL Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 4.04 of the IFL Disclosure Schedule, no Governmental Approval is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to IFL or any IFL Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by IFL of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such Governmental Approval would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an IFL Material Adverse Effect.

There are no condemnation or appropriation proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of IFL, threatened against the IFL Leased Real Property.

(e)           IFL has delivered or made available to Paligent prior to the execution of this Agreement true, correct and complete copies of (i) all leases, certificates of occupancy, fire and casualty insurance policies and similar documents, and all amendments thereof, with respect to the IFL Leased Real Property, and (ii) all IFL Real Property Leases (including all amendments and renewal letters and IFL Sublease Agreements), if any.

(f)            The buildings, structures, facilities, fixtures and other improvements constituting a portion of the IFL Leased Real Property are in good operating condition and in a state of good maintenance and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and are adequate and suitable for the purposes for which they are presently being used. IFL has not received any notice under any IFL Real Property Lease or IFL Sublease Agreement or from any insurance company which has

29

issued a policy with respect to any portion of the IFL Leased Real Property to repair or pay for any repair related to the IFL Leased Real Property with which such parties have not complied. To the knowledge of IFL, if any IFL Leased Real Property subject to an IFL Real Property Lease were surrendered to the landlord thereunder in its present condition, such IFL Leased Real Property would be required to be accepted by the landlord in such condition pursuant to the terms of the related IFL Real Property Lease.

Except as set forth in Section 4.11(a) of the IFL Disclosure Schedule, IFL has not received any written notice that the rights of IFL in the IFL Intellectual Property have been declared unenforceable or otherwise invalid by any court or Governmental Entity. IFL has taken commercially reasonable steps to maintain and protect its rights in and to each item of the IFL Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of IFL, there are no rights of any Person that would interfere with or prevent the use by IFL of any of its rights in and to any IFL Intellectual Property that is material to its business. To the knowledge of IFL, there is no existing third party infringement, misuse, or misappropriation of the IFL Intellectual Property.

(d)           Except as set forth in Section 4.11(d) of the IFL Disclosure Schedule, IFL has not agreed to indemnify any Person for or against any interference, infringement, misappropriation, or other conflict of or with any third party IFL Intellectual Property.

Neither IFL nor any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation or commitment to establish, maintain, operate or administer any new Benefit Arrangement or to amend any Benefit Arrangement so as to increase benefits thereunder or otherwise.

(b)           Neither IFL nor any ERISA Affiliate has or has ever had any liability with respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, including a “multiemployer plan”, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or a “single employer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA. Neither IFL nor any ERISA Affiliate has terminated a Benefit Arrangement with respect to which any liability remains outstanding.

(c)           Each Benefit Arrangement conforms in all respects to, and has been operated and administered in compliance with, its terms and all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Code, and including, but not limited to the requirements of ERISA Sections 601 et seq. and 701 et seq. and Sections 4980B, 9801 and 9802 of the Code. Each Benefit Arrangement intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and is the subject of a currently effective favorable IRS determination, opinion, notification or advisory letter issued by the IRS. Neither IFL nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or is subject to a tax under Section 4979 of the Code. No Benefit Arrangement has assets that include securities issued by IFL or any ERISA Affiliate.

No event has occurred and no condition exists that could subject IFL or the fund of any Benefit Arrangement to the imposition of any tax or penalty with respect to any Benefit Arrangement, whether by way of

32

indemnity or otherwise. All contributions required to have been made or remitted and all expenses required to have been paid by IFL to or under any Benefit Arrangement under the terms of any such plan, any agreement or any applicable law have been paid within the time prescribed by any such plan, agreement or law. All contributions to or under any Benefit Arrangement have been currently deductible under the Code when made. No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in ERISA Section 406) or breach of fiduciary responsibility has occurred with respect to any Benefit Arrangement for which a tax, penalty or other liability of whatever nature could be incurred by IFL, whether by way of indemnity or otherwise.

(e)           There is no contract, agreement or benefit arrangement covering any current or former employee or director of IFL or any ERISA Affiliate which, individually or in the aggregate, could be expected to give rise to the payment of any amount which would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) or be nondeductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event (including the termination of an employee’s employment) (i) result in any obligation or liability (with respect to accrued benefits or otherwise) on the part of IFL or any ERISA Affiliate under any Benefit Arrangement, or to any present or former employee, director, officer, stockholder, contractor or consultant of IFL or any ERISA Affiliate, (ii) be a trigger event under any Benefit Arrangement that will result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due to any such present or former employee, officer, director, stockholder, contractor, or consultant, or (iii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of any compensation theretofore or thereafter due or granted to any employee, officer, director, stockholder, contractor, or consultant of IFL or any ERISA Affiliate.

(f)            No Benefit Arrangement is required to comply with the provisions of any foreign law.

(g)           Other than routine claims for benefits under any Benefit Arrangement, there are no pending, or, to the knowledge of IFL, threatened, actions or proceedings involving any Benefit Arrangement, or the fiduciaries, administrators, or trustees of any Benefit Arrangement or IFL or any of its ERISA Affiliates as the employer or sponsor under any Benefit Arrangement, with any of the IRS, the Department of Labor, the PBGC, any participant in or beneficiary of any Benefit Arrangement or any other person whomsoever. IFL knows of no reasonable basis for any such claim, lawsuit, dispute, action or controversy

SECTION 4.14.    Taxes.

Except as set forth in Section 4.14 of the IFL Disclosure Schedule:

(a)           IFL has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed under applicable Tax Laws. All such Tax Returns were, when filed, and continue to be, true, correct and complete in all respects. IFL is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by the Taxing Authority of any jurisdiction in which IFL does not file Tax Returns or pay Taxes that it may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, nor is there any meritorious basis for such a claim.

33

(b)           All Taxes due and owing by IFL (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been timely paid. Any liability of IFL for Taxes not yet due and payable, or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, have been provided for on the Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of the assets of IFL.

(c)           IFL has timely withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party (including withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 3121 and 3402 of the Code or any comparable provision of any state, local or foreign Laws, any applicable Tax convention, or otherwise).

(d)           None of IFL or any director, officer, employee or accountant responsible for Tax matters of IFL expects any Taxing Authority to assess any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed. No foreign, federal, state or local Tax audits or administrative or judicial Tax proceedings are pending with respect to IFL. IFL has not received from any Taxing Authority (i) any notice indicating an intent to commence any audit or other review, (ii) any request for information related to Tax matters, or (iii) any notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted or assessed by any authority against IFL. Each deficiency resulting from any audit or examination relating to Taxes of IFL has been timely paid. No issues relating to such Taxes were raised by the relevant Taxing Authority in any completed audit or examination that can reasonably be expected to recur in a later taxable period. IFL has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

(e)           IFL is not a party to and is not bound by any Tax sharing agreement, Tax indemnity obligation or similar agreement, arrangement or practice with respect to Taxes, whether or not in writing (including any advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other agreement relating to Taxes with any Taxing Authority).

(f)            IFL will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date, as a result of an adjustment under Section 481 of the Code, a change in method of accounting, any intercompany transactions or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 1502 of the Code, the installment method of accounting, the long-term contract method of accounting, the cash method of accounting, any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law or for any other reason. No items of income or expense will be reallocated under Section 482 of the Code or any similar provision under state Law for any Post-Closing Tax Period with respect to any material transactions or arrangements between or among any of the IFL Stockholders and IFL.

(g)           (i) IFL has not made with respect to it, or any property held by it, any consent under Section 341 of the Code, (ii) no property of IFL is “tax exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code, and (iii) IFL is not a party to any lease made pursuant to Section 168(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended and in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1968.

34

(h)           IFL has delivered to the Purchaser (i) complete and correct copies of all its Tax Returns for all taxable periods and (ii) complete and correct copies of all private letter rulings, revenue agent reports, information document requests, notices of proposed deficiencies, deficiency notices, protests, petitions, closing agreements, settlement agreements, pending ruling requests and any similar documents, submitted, received or agreed to by or on behalf of IFL and relating to Taxes for all taxable periods for which the statute of limitations has not yet expired.

(i)            IFL has no liability for the Taxes of any other Person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee, successor, by contract or otherwise.

(j)            The unpaid Taxes of IFL (i) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on IFL’s books and records provided to Paligent, and (ii) shall not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of IFL. Since its inception, IFL has not incurred any liability for Taxes arising from extraordinary gains or losses, as that term is used in GAAP, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(k)           IFL has not been a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code.
