Unless and until any such Consent is obtained,

such Restricted Asset shall not constitute a Purchased Asset and any associated Liability shall not constitute an Assumed Liability for any purpose hereunder.

(b) In any such case, if the Closing has occurred, Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, such Consent. Buyer shall cooperate reasonably with Seller in obtaining such Consents, provided, that Buyer shall not be required to pay any cash consideration therefor or give or allow to remain in effect any guaranty, letter of credit, performance bond or other financial assurance.

(c) Until such Consent shall have been obtained, Seller shall at its expense effect an alternate arrangement, in the form of a license, sublease, operating agreement or other arrangement, in any case reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, which results in Buyer receiving all the benefits and bearing all the ordinary course costs, Liabilities and other obligations with respect to each Restricted Asset.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Post-Closing Contracts shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Buyer on the Closing Date.

(b) The release of the Closing Escrow Shares to Seller shall occur on the Escrow Release Date, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Buyer shall cause the Earnout Amount to be paid to Seller within ten (10) days of the determination of the achievement of the Target Net Sales (the “Earnout Release Date”). Buyer will deliver to Seller the Earnout Amount, if any, in, at Buyer’s sole discretion, either cash, Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock.

Except as set forth in Section 4.20 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule: (a) Seller has no Liability under, nor has Seller ever violated in any material respect, any Environmental Law (as defined below); (b) to Seller’s Knowledge, any property owned, operated, leased or used by Seller and any facilities and operations thereon are presently in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (c) Seller has never

entered into or been subject to any judgment, consent decree, compliance order or administrative order with respect to any environmental or health and safety matter or received any request for information, notice, demand letter, administrative inquiry or formal or informal complaint or claim with respect to any environmental or health and safety matter or the enforcement of any Environmental Law; and (d) Seller does not have any Knowledge that any of the items enumerated in subsection (c) of this paragraph will be forthcoming.

4.21 Taxes.

(a) Seller has timely filed all Tax Returns relating to the Business (including for purposes of this Section 4.21, without limitation, the acquisition, ownership and use of the Purchased Assets) that it is required to have filed. All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. All Taxes required to have been paid by the Seller (whether or not shown to be payable on such Tax Returns or on subsequent assessments with respect thereto) have been paid in full on a timely basis. The Seller does not have any Liabilities for Taxes not yet required to have been paid, other than Liabilities for Taxes reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet, or incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business or in connection with the purchase and sale under this Agreement since the date of the Interim Balance Sheet.

(b) Seller has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to withholding Taxes and information reporting, and, within the time and in the manner prescribed by law, Seller has withheld from employee wages and other payments and paid over to the proper Governmental Authorities all amounts required to have been so withheld and paid over all Taxes (whether or not relating to the Business) all amounts required to have been so withheld and paid over in connection with amounts paid or owing by Seller to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, shareholder, or other third party.

(d) No audit or other proceeding concerning any Tax Return or Tax Liability relating to the Business is currently pending or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened. There are no existing circumstances which reasonably may be expected to result in the assertion of any claim for Taxes against the Seller with respect to the Business by any Governmental Authority with respect to any period for which Tax Returns are required to have been filed or Tax is required to have been paid. No issue has been raised by any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes of the Seller concerning the Business in any prior examination which, by application of the same or similar principles, could reasonably be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any other taxable period relating to the Business. No claim has ever been made by any Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns relating to the Business that Seller is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction with respect to the Business.

(e) Seller has treated itself as owner of each of the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes. None of the Purchased Assets is the subject of a “safe-harbor lease” within the provisions of former Section 168(f)(8) of the Code, as in effect prior to amendment by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. None of the Purchased Assets directly or

indirectly secures any debt the interest on which is tax exempt under Section 103(a) of the Code. None of the Purchased Assets is “tax-exempt use property” within the meaning of Section 168(h) of the Code.

(f) Seller is not a party to any contract or agreement that will have continuing effect after the Closing Date and is an Assumed Liability that under certain circumstances could require any payment (or be deemed to give rise to any payment) that would be a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

(g) Seller, in connection with the Business, (i) is not a party to any joint venture, partnership or other agreement or arrangement which is treated as a partnership for federal income Tax purposes, (ii) does not own any interest in an entity which constitutes a Purchased Asset (or which owns a Purchased Asset) that is either is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for federal Tax purposes, or is an entity as to which an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section ###-###-####-3 has been made.

(h) The transactions set forth in this Agreement are not subject to the Tax withholding provisions of Section 3406 of the Code (back-up withholding) or of any other provision of Law.

(i) Seller is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

4.22 Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transaction based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Seller.

4.23 Fraudulent Conveyance; Solvency. Seller is not entering into the Transaction with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person to which it is, or may become, indebted. Seller is not now insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the Transaction. As used in this Section, “insolvent” means that the sum of the debts and other probable Liabilities of Seller exceeds the present fair saleable value of Seller’s assets. Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction: (a) Seller will be able to pay its Liabilities as they become due in the usual course of its business; (b) Seller will have sufficient capital to conduct its present or proposed business; (c) Seller will have assets (calculated at fair market value) that exceed its Liabilities; and (d) taking into account all pending and threatened litigation, final judgments against Seller in actions for monetary damages are not reasonably anticipated to be rendered at a time when, or in amounts such that, Seller will be unable to satisfy any such judgments promptly in accordance with their terms (taking into account the maximum probably amount of such judgments in any such actions and the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments might be rendered) as well as all other obligations of Seller. The cash available to Seller, after taking into account all other anticipated uses of the cash, will be sufficient to pay all such debts and judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

4.24 Transactions with Affiliates. There are no existing contracts, transactions, indebtedness or other arrangements, or any related series thereof, between Seller, on the one hand, and any of the directors, officers or other Affiliates of Seller, on the other hand.

4.25 Product Warranties. All of the Purchased Assets manufactured, sold or delivered by Seller are in conformity with all applicable contractual commitments and applicable law and all express and implied warranties, and Seller is not liable (and, to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for any present or future action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand against it giving rise to any such Liability) for replacement thereof or other damages in connection therewith in excess of any warranty reserve specifically established with respect thereto and included on the face of Seller’s latest balance sheet. None of the Purchased Assets manufactured, sold or delivered by Seller are subject to any guaranty, warranty or other indemnity. Seller has not been notified of any claims for (and Seller does not have any Knowledge of any threatened claims for) any extraordinary product returns, warranty obligations or product services relating to any of the Purchased Assets. There have been no product recalls, withdrawals or seizures with respect to any of the Purchased Assets manufactured, sold or delivered by Seller. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no: (a) fact relating to any Purchased Assets that could be reasonably likely to impose upon Seller a duty to recall any Purchased Assets or a duty to warn customers of a defect in any Purchased Assets; or (b) latent or overt design, manufacturing or other defect in any Purchased Assets.

4.26 Product Liabilities. Seller has not had nor does Seller have any Liability (and, to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for any present or future action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand against it giving rise to any Liability) arising out of any injury to individuals or property as a result of the ownership, possession or use of any of the Purchased Assets manufactured, sold or delivered by Seller.

4.27 Bank Accounts. Section 4.27 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule sets forth an accurate and complete list of all bank accounts, including the names and addresses of the financial institutions in which Seller has a bank account and the names of all Persons authorized to draw thereon or with access thereto.

4.28 Permits. Section 4.28 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists all material permits, registrations, authorizations, licenses, franchises, certifications and other approvals (collectively, the “Approvals”) obtained by Seller from any third party, including, without limitation, any industry standards association or Governmental Authority. Each Approval is validly held by Seller, is in full force and effect, and Seller is operating in material compliance therewith. Except for the Approvals, none of the Purchased Assets have been marketed, advertised, sold or distributed as having or meeting any other certification, standard or approval. None of the Approvals is subject to termination as a result of the execution of this Agreement by Seller or the consummation of the Transactions, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, Buyer will not be required to obtain any further Approvals to continue the conduct of Seller’s operations after the Closing.

(c) The parties acknowledge that any Parent filings under the Securities Act that require the Required Information also necessitate timely cooperation, including, without limitation, cooperation in the performance of incremental audit procedures necessary, by Seller

to facilitate the execution and filing of an accountant’s consent. Seller covenants and agrees to promptly cooperate from and after the Closing Date to facilitate such actions and will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Audit Accountant’s performance of such procedures.

(b) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and any right to indemnification for breach thereof) shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by Buyer.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10, Seller (the “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, Buyer and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Damages (whether or not involving a third-party claim) arising out of, relating to or resulting from: (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document; (b) fraud or an intentional misrepresentation by Seller of any of their representations or warranties in this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate, financial statement, agreement or other instrument delivered under or in connection with this Agreement; (c) any breach of a covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document; (d) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability; (e) the ownership or operation of Seller prior to the Closing; (f) any claims or obligations (including without limitation, claims for personal injury, death or property damage) relating to, resulting from or in connection with any products that are sold by Seller prior the Closing; (g) any judgment, claim, arbitral award or settlement in connection with any disputing shareholder of Seller relating to the consummation of the Transaction; (h) any and all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof except to the extent set forth on the Seller Disclosure Schedule) of Seller; (i) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than Seller) imposed on Parent or Buyer which relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing or in connection with the Closing (except to the extent set forth on the Seller Disclosure Schedule) imposed on Buyer or Parent; (j) the approval of this Agreement by Seller and its Board of Directors and shareholders; (k) Seller’s approval, performance and obligations of and under the BSC Agreement; and/or (l) any noncompliance with applicable bulk sales or fraudulent transfer Legal Requirements in connection with the Transaction.

10.3 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) The Indemnitee shall give written notice (the “Indemnification Notice”) of any Damages or the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party with respect to any matter referred to in Section 10.2 thereof to the Indemnitor and the Escrow Agent, which Indemnification Notice shall include a description of the Damages or Proceeding, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for the Damages or Proceeding; provided, that

failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnification Notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder.

(b) If the Indemnitor does not object to the Damages within twenty (20) Business Days of Indemnitee’s delivery of the Indemnification Notice to Indemnitor, after Indemnitee’s delivery of a written notice of cancellation (the “Cancellation Notice”) to the Indemnitor and the Escrow Agent, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to immediately offset the aggregate amount of Damages set forth in the Indemnification Notice against the Closing Escrow Shares (whether by means of the cancellation of any shares of Common Stock issuable to Indemnitor or otherwise). Indemnitor may object to the claim on the Indemnification Notice by delivery to Indemnitee (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) of such objection in writing within twenty (20) Business Days of Indemnitee’s delivery of the Indemnification Notice to Indemnitor. In case Indemnitor shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Indemnitee made in any Indemnification Notice, Indemnitee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such objection to respond in a written statement that describes the nature of such objection and/or Indemnitor’s assessment of the amount of the Damages. If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Indemnitee and Indemnitor shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the parties pursuant to this Section, then the parties shall subject such dispute to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11.13.

(c) Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a nationally recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided that:

(i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnitor, and except that the Indemnitor shall pay all of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee);

(ii) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if: (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects; (C) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; (D) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict

of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee; (E) the claim involves environmental matters in which case the Indemnitee shall have sole control and management authority over the resolution of such claim (including hiring legal counsel and environmental consultants, conducting environmental investigations and cleanups, negotiating with governmental agencies and third parties and defending or settling claims and actions); provided that the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor apprised of any major developments relating to any environmental claim; (F) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; or (G) the Indemnitee reasonably believes that the Damages relating to the claim could exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnitee could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of Article 10; and

(iii) if the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all Liabilities with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Parent and Buyer under this Article 10 unless the aggregate of all Damages to Parent and Buyer collectively exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Seller’s Basket”), in which case Parent and Buyer shall be entitled to recover all Damages, including the amount equal to the Seller’s Basket. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnitor contained herein will not be affected by any investigation or diligence conducted by the Indemnitee with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. In determining the amount of any indemnity, there shall be taken into account any insurance proceeds or other similar recovery or offset realized, directly or indirectly, by the party to be indemnified.

10.5 Remedies. The indemnification obligations of Seller under Sections 10.2(a) and (c) and the repayment of any Damages by Seller to Parent and Buyer under Sections 10.2(a) and (c) may be satisfied by a Purchase Price adjustment to be accomplished by the delivery to Buyer of Closing Escrow Shares, and any tendered shares of Common Stock shall have an aggregate Stated Price (calculated as of the Indemnification Determination Date) equal to the Damages. In no event shall Seller have any liability pursuant to this Agreement, including this Article 10, beyond its obligation to fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder by delivering, in certain circumstances and in accordance with this Article 10, a number of shares not to exceed, in the aggregate, the number of Closing Escrow Shares; provided, however, that Seller’s limitation of liability pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall not apply during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date to Seller’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Sections 4.3(b), 4.5(c), 4.12(a), 4.14 or 7.12 of this Agreement.

10.6 Allocation of Taxes to the Pre-Closing Period. For purposes of determining under this Agreement whether a Tax Liability shall be assigned to a Pre-Closing Period or a Post-Closing Period, the following principles shall apply.

(a) In the case of Taxes arising in a taxable period relating to the Business that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the allocation of such Taxes between a Pre-Closing Period and a Post-Closing Period shall be made on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date.

(b) In the case of any Taxes that are payable for a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, for purposes of this Agreement the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Period included in such taxable period shall (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, to the extent feasible, be determined on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the event or transaction giving rise to the Tax, (ii) in the case of any Taxes that are periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise reasonably allocable to specific transactions or events, other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, or franchise Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, or franchise Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Seller.

(c) The party paying any Tax for a period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date shall be entitled to payment from the other party with respect to the Taxes allocated to that other party under Section 10.6. Such payment shall be made in cash within ten (10) days of a written demand therefor, which demand shall not be made more than fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of such Tax.

ARTICLE 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

11.3 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California (as permitted by Section 1646.5 of the California Civil Code or any similar successor provision) or any similar successor provision, 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.

11.4 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, this Agreement.

11.5 Assignments Prohibited; Successors and Assigns. Seller shall not assign, or suffer or permit an assignment (by operation of law or otherwise) of, its rights or obligations under or interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer. Any purported

assignment or other disposition by Seller, except as permitted herein, shall be null and void. Buyer may assign all or any portion of this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent.

11.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the parties do not intend to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed (including, without limitation, by facsimile signature) in one or more counterparts, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document. Each counterpart so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

11.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents collectively contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, including the Term Sheet, dated as of January 24, 2006, between the parties. The parties intend that this Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents referred to above, be the several, complete and exclusive embodiment of their agreement, and that any evidence, oral or written, of a prior or contemporaneous agreement that alters or modifies this Agreement shall not be admissible in any proceeding concerning this Agreement. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

11.10 Interpretation. Unless otherwise indicated herein, with respect to any reference made in this Agreement to a Section (or Article, Subsection, Paragraph, Subparagraph or Clause), Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to a section (or article, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause) of, or an exhibit or schedule to, this Agreement. The table of contents and any article, section, subsection, paragraph or subparagraph headings contained in this Agreement and the recitals at the beginning of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed, as the context indicates, to be followed by the words “but (is/are) not limited to.” Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context indicates is appropriate. Where specific language is used to clarify or illustrate by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict the construction of the general statement which is being clarified or illustrated.

11.11 Construction. The construction of this Agreement shall not take into consideration the party who drafted or whose representative drafted any portion of this Agreement, and no canon of construction shall be applied that resolves ambiguities against the drafter of a document. The parties are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers throughout this Transaction who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe the presumption of California Civil Code Section 1654 and similar laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied in this case and therefore waive its effects.

11.12 Expenses of the Parties. Subject to provisions contained herein relating to recovery of fees in connection with legal actions or proceedings, each party shall bear the expenses incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, except that the expenses of Seller shall be deemed to be expenses of and borne by the shareholders.

11.13 Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties only in the courts of the State of California, County of San Diego, or, if it has or can acquire the necessary jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

11.14 Recovery of Fees by Prevailing Party. If any legal action, including, without limitation, an action for arbitration or injunctive relief, is brought relating to this Agreement or the breach or alleged breach hereof, the prevailing party in any final judgment or arbitration award, or the non-dismissing party in the event of a voluntary dismissal by the party instituting the action, shall be entitled to the full amount of all reasonable expenses, including all court costs, arbitration fees and actual attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in good faith.

11.15 Further Assurances. Seller agrees to (a) furnish upon request to Parent and Buyer such further information, (b) execute and deliver to Parent and Buyer such other documents, and (c) do such other acts and things, all Parent and Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Transaction.

11.16 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

11.17 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Seller acknowledges that the Transaction is of a confidential nature and shall not be disclosed except to consultants, advisors and Affiliates, or as required by law. Seller shall not make any public disclosure of the terms of this Agreement, except as required by law or as otherwise expressly permitted herein.
