5.14.  Registration Statement, Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Related Matters.
 
(a)  As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Hyperion and AI shall prepare, and Hyperion shall file with the SEC, a joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) to be sent to the stockholders of AI in connection with the meeting of AI’s stockholders (the “AI Stockholders’ Meeting) to vote on the approval of the sale of the AI Assets hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby.  In connection therewith, Hyperion shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to which the shares of Hyperion Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be registered with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”), and in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included as a prospectus.   Hyperion shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon after filing as practicable.  Hyperion shall make all other necessary filings with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
 
(b)  AI shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that (i) the information to be supplied by AI for inclusion in the Registration Statement shall not at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary in order to make the statements in the Registration Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) the information supplied by AI for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall not, on the date the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is first mailed to stockholders of AI or Hyperion, and at the time of the AI’s Stockholders’ Meeting contain any statement that, at such time and in light of the circumstances under which it shall be made, is false or misleading with respect to any  material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies for AI’s Stockholders’ Meeting that has become false or misleading.  If at any time prior to the Closing any event relating to AI or any of its Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by AI that should be set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, AI shall promptly so inform Hyperion.

7.  Post-Closing Agreements.  AI and Hyperion, as the case may be, agree that from and after the Closing Date:
 
7.1.  Further Assurances and Data.
 
(a)  At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, at Hyperion's reasonable request and without further consideration, AI shall execute and deliver such instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and take such other action, all at Hyperion's sole cost and expense, as Hyperion may reasonably request to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to Hyperion, and to confirm Hyperion's title to, all the AI Assets, to put Hyperion in actual possession and operating control thereof, to assist Hyperion in exercising all rights with respect thereto, and to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.  Immediately after the Closing Date, AI shall, to the extent applicable, authorize the release to Hyperion of all files pertaining to the AI Assets held by any federal, state, county or local authorities, agencies or instrumentalities.  AI and Hyperion will cooperate in communications with suppliers and customers to accomplish the transfer of the AI Assets to Hyperion.
 
(b)  The parties agree that from and after the Closing Date, as to any monies received that rightfully belong to the other party, they shall remit such monies promptly to the other party.
 
7.2.  Cooperation in Litigation.  Each party hereto will reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense or prosecution of any litigation or proceeding already instituted or which may be instituted hereafter against or by such party relating to or arising out of the use of the AI Assets prior to the Closing Date (other than litigation arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).  The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) of the party providing such cooperation and of its officers, directors, employees, other personnel and agents reasonably incurred in connection with providing such cooperation, but shall not be responsible to reimburse the party providing such cooperation for such party's time spent in such cooperation or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or similar expenses paid by the party providing such cooperation to its officers, directors, employees, other personnel and agents while assisting in the defense or prosecution of any such litigation or proceeding.
 
7.3.  Consents.  AI will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain by the Closing Date, consents from each landlord relating to all real property leases identified on Section 2.16 of the AI Disclosure Schedule, consenting to the assumption of each such real property lease by Hyperion, and any other consents required under any Contract or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  To the extent that any interest in any of the AI Assets is not capable of being assigned, transferred, conveyed or registered without the consent, waiver or authorization of, or registration with, a third person (including, but not limited to, a governmental, regulatory or administrative authority), or if such assignment, transfer, conveyance, registration or attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or registration would constitute a breach of any AI Asset, or a violation of any law, statute, decree, rule, regulation or other governmental edict or is not immediately practicable, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment, transfer or conveyance of such interest, or an attempted assignment, transfer or conveyance of such interest (such interests being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Restricted Interests”).  The entire beneficial interest in any AI Assets subject to a restriction as described above, and any other interest in such AI Assets which are transferable notwithstanding such restriction, shall be transferred from AI to Hyperion as provided in Section 1.1(a).  To the extent that any required consents, waivers, authorizations and registrations are not obtained, or until the impracticalities of transfer referred to therein are resolved, AI shall (i) provide to Hyperion, at the request of Hyperion, the benefits of any Restricted Interests, (ii) cooperate in reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide such benefits to Hyperion and (iii) enforce, at the request of Hyperion for the account of Hyperion, any rights of AI arising from any Restricted Interests (including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Hyperion).
 
8.  Indemnification.  The Stockholder agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AI and its officers, directors, employees, managers, members, agents, advisers and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against, and pay or reimburse the Indemnitees for, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, expenses, royalties, litigation, deficiencies or damages (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not resulting from third party claims), including interest and penalties with respect thereto and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing any of their respective rights hereunder (collectively, “Losses”, and each individually, a “Loss”), resulting from or arising out of:
 
(a)  any breach of the Representations and Warranties of Hyperion and/or Stockholder set forth in this Agreement;
 
(b)  any transaction, liability or obligation, whether absolute or contingent, that occurs or arises out of the business operations or activities of Hyperion on or prior to the Closing Date;
 
(c)  Any taxes arising out of the operations of Hyperion prior to the Closing Date.
 
8.1.  Indemnification Procedures.  In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided, that (i) counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (ii) the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.  Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.  In no event shall a party guilty of fraud or willful misconduct be entitled to indemnity with respect to any matter involving such fraud or willful misconduct.  In the event that the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party, provided, that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defense against any such claim or demand, and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand, subject to the written consent of the Indemnifying Party such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In any event, except to the extent that they have an interest adverse to the other, the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Section 8 and the records of each shall be available to the other with respect to such defense.
 
9.  Transfer and Sales Tax.  Notwithstanding any provisions of law imposing the burden of such taxes on AI or Hyperion, as the case may be, Hyperion shall be responsible for and shall pay (a) all sales, bulk sales, use and transfer taxes, and (b) all governmental charges, if any, upon and due in connection with the sale or transfer of any of the AI Assets hereunder.
 
10.  Termination.
 
10.1.  Time of Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing, whether before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the stockholders of AI:
 
(a)  By mutual consent of Hyperion and AI.
 
(b)  (i) By either Hyperion or Stockholder on the one hand or AI on the other hand if there shall be a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement on the part of the other party set forth in this Agreement which breach shall not have been cured, in the case of a representation or warranty, prior to the Closing, or in the case of a covenant, obligation or agreement, within two (2) business days following receipt by the breaching party of notice of such breach; or (ii) by either Hyperion or AI if any permanent injunction or other order of a court or other competent authority preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and non-appealable.
 
(c)  By either Hyperion or AI if the stockholders of AI do not approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
10.2.  Effect of Termination.  In event of a termination of this Agreement by either AI or Hyperion as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void; provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for breach of this Agreement.
 
10.3.  Remedies Not Exclusive.  No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, including, without limitation, the remedy of specific performance.  The election of any one or more remedies by Hyperion or AI shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
 
11.  Notices.  Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally or sent by facsimile (with transmission confirmed), Federal Express, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows or to such other address or facsimile number of which the parties may have given notice:

21.  Employees; WARN Act.  Effective on the Closing Date, AI shall terminate the employment of all employees engaged in the Business (the “Terminated Employees”), and shall terminate any employment agreements with such Terminated Employees.  As of the Closing Date, Hyperion shall offer employment to all of the Terminated Employees (such hired persons being the “Hired Employees”), at initial salaries and with initial benefits comparable to those immediately prior to the termination.  For the purposes of determining and measuring benefits provided to any given Hired Employee by Hyperion, each Hired Employee will be given credit for the Hired Employee’s term of service to AI.  For a period of at least forty-five (45) days from and after the Effective Date, Hyperion shall employ substantially all, but in no event less than 70%, of the Hired Employees and shall not terminate more than 50 full time employees who were employed by AI as of the Closing Date.  Hyperion shall be liable and responsible for any obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as amended (the “WARN Act”), arising out of Hyperion’s breach of this Section 21 with respect to the Hired Employees.
