     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION dated as of October 27, 2006, among SYNTAX-BRILLIAN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Syntax-Brillian”); SBV-AC CORPORATION, a California corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian (“SBV”); VIVITAR CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Vivitar”), and GREAT STEP CO., LTD. a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Great Step”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Syntax-Brillian, SBV, Great Step, and Vivitar have approved this Agreement providing for the merger of SBV with and into Vivitar (the “Merger”) as a result of which Vivitar would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

     WHEREAS Syntax-Brillian, SBV, and Vivitar 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 Great Step has approved this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein as the sole shareholder of Vivitar and has agreed to indemnify Syntax-Brillian as set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby approve and adopt this Agreement and do mutually covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1.
MERGER OF SBV AND VIVITAR

          1.1 Merger. On the Effective Time (as that term is hereinafter defined), SBV shall be merged with and into Vivitar, which shall be the surviving corporation, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Agreement of Merger”).

          1.2 Effect of the Merger. Upon the Merger becoming effective, the separate existence of SBV shall cease, and Vivitar shall succeed to and possess all the properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises, and immunities, of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities, and duties of SBV, all without further act or deed, as provided in the California General Corporation Law.

          1.3 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Vivitar shall be amended and restated on the Effective Time to read as did the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of SBV immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          1.4 Directors. The directors of SBV immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of Vivitar as of the Effective Time until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

          1.5 Officers. The officers of SBV immediately prior to the Effective Time, or such other persons as Syntax-Brillian shall designate, shall be the officers of Vivitar until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

          1.6 Status and Conversion of Securities.

               (a) Conversion of Vivitar Stock into Syntax-Brillian Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, no par value, of Vivitar (“Vivitar Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by reason of the Merger and without any action on the part of Great Step, shall be converted and exchanged into the right to receive a number of shares of validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable common stock, $.001 par value, of Syntax-Brillian (“Syntax-Brillian Common Stock”), which equals the amount obtained by dividing the Per Share Purchase Price (as defined below) by the average of the closing prices of a share of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Syntax-Brillian Common Stock Average Price”). For the purposes of this Section, the “Per Share Purchase Price” shall mean the per share price equal to the amount obtained by dividing $26,000,000 by the total number of shares of Vivitar Common Stock.

               (b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof Great Step shall receive from Syntax-Brillian shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock rounded to the nearest whole share.

               (c) Exchange of Certificates. After the Effective Time, upon surrender of an outstanding certificate or certificates theretofore representing shares of Vivitar Common Stock (“Vivitar Stock Certificates”) to such bank, trust company, law firm, or other person as shall be designated by Syntax-Brillian (“Exchange Agent”), and subject to the escrow arrangement set forth in Section 1.6(d) and Section 7. Great Step shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Vivitar Common Stock theretofore represented by such surrendered certificate or certificates shall have been converted (the “Merger Consideration”). Until so surrendered, each outstanding certificate theretofore representing shares of Vivitar Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes, other than the payment of dividends or other distributions, if any, in respect of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock, to represent the number of whole shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Vivitar Common Stock theretofore represented thereby shall have been converted. No dividend or other distribution, if any, payable to holders of shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock shall be paid to the holders of certificates theretofore representing shares of Vivitar Common Stock; provided, however, that upon surrender and exchange of such Vivitar stock certificates, there shall be paid to the record holders of the stock certificate or certificates issued in exchange therefor, the amount, without interest thereon, of dividends and other distributions, if any, which theretofore but subsequent to the Effective Time have been declared and become payable with respect to the

number of whole shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Vivitar Common Stock theretofore represented thereby shall have been converted.

               (d) Escrow Shares. In accordance with Section 7.3 of this Agreement, a certain number of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) equal to 15% of the Merger Consideration shall be placed in escrow as collateral for any of the indemnification obligations of Great Step under Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

               (e) Conversion of SBV Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, each share of common stock of SBV, par value $.001 per share, shall be converted into one newly issued share of Vivitar Common Stock.

               (f) Vivitar Stock-Based Rights. Each outstanding option, right, award, or instrument to purchase or otherwise acquire Vivitar Capital Stock (“Vivitar Stock-Based Rights”), whether or not vested, exercisable, or convertible, shall be cancelled and retired, shall cease to exist, shall be null and void, and shall have no right to receive any Merger Consideration.

          1.7 Syntax-Brillian to Make Shares Available. By the Effective Time, Syntax-Brillian shall make available, by transferring to SBV or by transferring directly to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of Great Step, such number of shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock as shall be required for conversion in accordance with this Agreement.

          1.8 Further Documents. From time to time, on and after the Effective Time, as and when requested by Syntax-Brillian, the appropriate officers and directors of Vivitar as of the Effective Time shall, for and on behalf and in the name of Vivitar or otherwise, execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, and other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such further or other actions as Syntax-Brillian may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to confirm of record or otherwise to Syntax-Brillian or Vivitar title to and possession of all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises, and immunities of Vivitar and otherwise to carry out fully the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

          1.9 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective on such date (the “Effective Time”) as of which all applicable legal requirements have been fulfilled to consummate the Merger. The parties shall use their best efforts to consummate the Merger at the earliest practicable date following the satisfaction of all conditions precedent that shall not have been waived.

          1.10 Internal Revenue Code. The parties hereto intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code, and each party hereto will take all necessary and appropriate actions in order to accomplish such intent.

          1.11 Closing. Subject to the fulfillment of waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig LLP, 2375 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona at 9:00 a.m., local time, on the date on which the Effective Time is expected to occur or

other date or time as may be determined by the parties. Syntax-Brillian shall notify Vivitar in writing of the date of the Closing upon at least five prior business days notice.

SECTION 2.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVALS

          This Agreement and the Merger have been approved by Syntax-Brillian as the sole shareholder of SBV and by Great Step as the sole shareholder of Vivitar.

Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries is a corporation validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation with the requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate, and lease its assets and properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. (As used in this Agreement with reference to Vivitar, the term “subsidiaries” shall include all direct or indirect subsidiaries of Vivitar.) Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is subject to any Material Adverse Effect by reason of the failure to be duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business or to be in good standing under the laws of any jurisdiction. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse change in or effect on (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (ii) the ability of any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) any material adverse effect on business, assets, financial condition, or results of operations of any party to this Agreement and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than a material adverse change resulting from any event, condition, occurrence, or consequence proximately caused by general or industry-wide market and economic conditions. Schedule 3.1(a) to the Disclosure Schedule constitutes a list setting forth, as of the date of this Agreement, each jurisdiction in which Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar is qualified to do business.

               (b) Corporate Authority. Vivitar has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. The Boards of Directors of Vivitar and Great Step as the sole shareholder of Vivitar have duly authorized the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement. No other corporate proceedings on the part of Vivitar or its subsidiaries are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Vivitar of this Agreement or the consummation by Vivitar of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement of, Vivitar, enforceable against Vivitar in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights, and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable

relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought.

               (c) Capital Stock. As of the date hereof, Vivitar has authorized capital stock consisting of 18,000,000 shares of Vivitar Common Stock, no par value, of which 2,419,244 shares are issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Vivitar and of each of its subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

               (d) Options, Warrants, and Rights. Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar has outstanding any instruments, options, warrants, or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock, including any Vivitar Stock-Based Rights.

The outstanding shares of capital stock of the subsidiaries of Vivitar owned by Vivitar or by any of its subsidiaries are owned free and clear of all claims, liens, charges, and encumbrances.

               (f) Financial Statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheets of Vivitar and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Stockholder’s Deficit and Comprehensive Loss, and Cash Flows of Vivitar and subsidiaries for the three years ended December 31, 2005, and all related schedules and notes to the foregoing, have been certified by Moss Adams LLP, registered independent public accountants, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Vivitar and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and the Consolidated Statements of Operations of Vivitar and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006, and all related schedules and notes to the foregoing, have been prepared by Vivitar without audit. All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which were applied on a consistent basis, and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of Vivitar and subsidiaries as of their respective dates and for the periods indicated. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1 (f) to the Disclosure Schedule neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar has any material liabilities or obligations of a type that would be included in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether related to tax or non-tax matters, accrued or contingent, due or not yet due, liquidated or unliquidated, or otherwise, except as and to the extent disclosed or reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Vivitar and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 (the “Vivitar Base Balance Sheet”), or incurred since the date of the Vivitar Base Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business.

               (g) No Material Change. Since December 31, 2005, there has not been and there is not any threatened change, event or condition (whether or not covered by insurance) that has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

               (h) Title to Properties. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of its real and personal assets and properties, including all assets and properties reflected in the Vivitar Base Balance Sheet, or acquired subsequent to the date of Vivitar Base Balance Sheet, except assets or properties disposed of subsequent to that date in the ordinary course of business. Such assets and properties are not subject to any mortgage, pledge, lien, claim, encumbrance, charge, security interest, title retention, or other security arrangement, except for liens for the payment of foreign, federal, state, or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties, and except for other liens and encumbrances incidental to the conduct of the business of Vivitar and its subsidiaries or the ownership of their assets or properties that were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances, and that do not in the aggregate materially detract from the value of the assets or properties of Vivitar and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or materially impair the use thereof in the operation of their business, except in each case as disclosed in the Vivitar Balance Sheet. All leases pursuant to which Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar leases any substantial amount of real or personal assets or properties are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms.

               (i) Condition of Assets and Properties. The buildings, equipment, machinery, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, office equipment, and all other tangible personal assets and properties presently used in, or necessary for the operation of, the business of Vivitar or its subsidiaries, do not require any repairs other than normal maintenance and are in good operating condition and in a state of reasonable maintenance and repair.

               (j) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or other litigation pending or, to the knowledge of Vivitar, threatened against Vivitar or any of its subsidiaries, at law or in equity, or before or by any foreign, federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality that, if determined adversely to Vivitar or its subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (k) Licenses and Permits. Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is subject to any Material Adverse Effect by reason of its failure to possess any license, permit, franchise, certificate, consent, approval, or authorization. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries has all licenses, permits, franchises, certificates, consents, approvals, and authorizations of whatever kind and type, governmental or private, necessary for the business conducted by it and the ownership or use of the assets and properties utilized it in its business and the premises occupied by it. Schedule 3.1(k) to the Disclosure Schedule contains a true, correct, and complete list, as of the date of this Agreement, of all licenses, permits, franchises, certificates, consents, approvals, and authorizations necessary for the conduct of the business of Vivitar and its subsidiaries.

               (l) Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of Vivitar, neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is subject to any Material Adverse Effect by reason of its failure to possess any patent, copyright, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade name right, or license. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries owns or holds all of the rights to use all patents, trademarks, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade name rights, licenses, and trade secrets, logos, fictitious names, service marks, and slogans that are used in or necessary to the

operation of its business. Schedule 3.1(l) to the Disclosure Schedule constitutes, as of the date of this Agreement, a true, complete, and correct list of all of the intellectual property owned or used by Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar. None of the matters covered by the intellectual property, nor any of the products or services sold or provided by Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar, nor any of the processes used or the business practices followed by Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar, infringes or has infringed upon any patent, copyright, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade name right, license, trade secret, logo, fictitious name, service mark, or slogan owned by any person or entity (or any application with respect thereto), or constitutes unfair competition. To the knowledge of Vivitar, neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is, and following the Effective Time Syntax-Brillian will not be, obligated to pay any royalty or make other payment with respect to any intellectual property. To the knowledge of Vivitar, no person or entity is producing, providing, selling, or using products or services that would constitute an infringement of any intellectual property of Vivitar or any of its subsidiaries. Where any paragraph of this Agreement or any provision or disclosure made or referred to in a Disclosure Schedule is qualified by the expression “to the knowledge of a party” or “a party is not aware” or any similar expression then that expression shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge (but not imputed or constructive) as of the Effective Time of, with respect to Vivitar, Bo Liu, and with respect to Syntax-Brillian, any executive officer.

               (m) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate or result in a material breach by Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar of, or constitute a material default under, or conflict with, or cause any acceleration of any obligation with respect to (i) any provision or restriction of any charter, bylaw, shareholders’ agreement, operating agreement, voting trust, proxy, or other similar agreement; (ii) any loan agreement, indenture, lease, deed of trust, or mortgage of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar; (iii) any provision or restriction of any lien, lease agreement, contract, or instrument to which Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar is a party or by which any of them is bound; or (iv) any order, judgment, award, decree, law, rule, ordinance, or regulation or any other restriction of any kind or character to which any assets or properties of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar is subject or by which Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar is bound. Neither the execution and delivery by Vivitar of this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated hereby, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will result in the creation of any lien, claim, right, charge, encumbrance or security interest of any nature or type whatsoever with respect to any of the stock of any of Vivitar’s subsidiaries or any of the assets of Vivitar.

               (n) Taxes. Vivitar has duly filed in correct form all Tax Returns (as defined below) relating to the activities of Vivitar and its subsidiaries required or due to be filed (with regard to applicable extensions) on or prior to the date hereof. All such Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects, and Vivitar has paid or made provision for the payment of all Taxes (as defined below) that have been incurred or are due or claimed to be due from Vivitar or any of its subsidiaries by foreign, federal, state, or local taxing authorities for all periods ending on or before the date hereof, other than Taxes or other charges that are not delinquent or are being contested in good faith and have not been finally determined and have been disclosed to Syntax-Brillian. The amounts set up as reserves for Taxes on the books of Vivitar and its subsidiaries are sufficient in the aggregate for the payment of all unpaid Taxes (including any interest or penalties thereon), whether or not disputed, accrued, or applicable. No

claims for Taxes or assessments are being asserted or threatened against Vivitar or any of its subsidiaries. Vivitar has furnished to Syntax-Brillian a copy of all Tax Returns filed for it or its subsidiaries within the five-year period prior to the date of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Taxes” shall mean all material taxes, charges, fees, levies, or other assessments, including, without limitation, income, gross receipts, excise, property, sales, transfer, license, payroll, and franchise taxes, imposed by the United States or any state, local, or foreign government or subdivision or agency thereof, and such term shall include any interest, penalties, or additions to tax attributable to such assessments or to the failure to file any Tax Return; and the term “Tax Return” shall mean any material report, return, or other information required to be supplied to a taxing authority or required by a taxing authority to be supplied to any other person.

               (o) Accounts Receivable. Each account receivable of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar has been acquired in the ordinary course of business, is valid and enforceable, and is fully collectible, subject to no known defenses, setoffs, or counterclaims, except to the extent of the reserve reflected in the books of Vivitar and its subsidiaries or in such other amount that is not material in the aggregate.

               (p) Material Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(p) to the Disclosure Schedule, neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is a party to (i) any plan or contract providing for bonuses, pensions, options, stock purchases, deferred compensation, retirement payments, or profit sharing (other than profit sharing or bonus arrangements with officers and key personnel of subsidiaries); (ii) any collective bargaining or other contract or agreement with any labor union; (iii) any lease, installment purchase agreement, or other contract with respect to any real or personal asset or property used or proposed to be used in its operations, except, in each case, items included within aggregate amounts disclosed in Vivitar’s Base Balance Sheet, (iv) any employment agreement or other similar arrangement not terminable by it upon 90 days or less notice without penalty to it; (v) any contract or agreement for the purchase of any commodity, material, fixed asset, or equipment in excess of $100,000; (vi) any contract or agreement creating an obligation of $100,000 or more; (vii) any contract or agreement involving more than $50,000 that by its terms does not terminate or is not terminable without penalty to it within one year after the date hereof; (viii) any loan agreement, indenture, promissory note, conditional sales agreement, or other similar type of arrangement; or (ix) any contract that by its operation or termination would have a Material Adverse Effect on Vivitar (each such contract, agreement and arrangement, a “Material Contract”). Each Material Contract set forth on Schedule 3.1(p) to the Disclosure Schedule is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms; Vivitar, its subsidiaries, and all other parties to each of the foregoing have performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed to date; neither Vivitar, nor any subsidiary of Vivitar, nor any such other party is in material default or in material arrears under the terms of any of the foregoing; and no condition exists or event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default under any of them.

               (q) Compliance with Law and Other Regulations.

                    (i) General. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of foreign, federal, state, and local law

and all requirements of all governmental bodies and agencies having jurisdiction over it, the conduct of its business, the use of its assets and properties, and all premises occupied by it. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries has properly filed all reports, paid all monies, and obtained all licenses, permits, certificates, and authorizations needed or required for the conduct of its business and the use of its assets and properties and the premises occupied by it in connection therewith and is in compliance in all material respects with all conditions, restrictions, and provisions of all of the foregoing. Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar has received any notice from any foreign, federal, state, or local authority or any insurance or inspection body that any of its assets, properties, facilities, equipment, or business procedures or practices fails to comply with any applicable law, ordinance, regulation, building, or zoning law, or requirement of any public authority or body.

               (r) Employee Benefit and Employment Matters.

                    (i) ERISA Matters. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries has fulfilled its obligations, if any, under the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each “plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations) in which employees of Vivitar or its subsidiaries are eligible to participate, and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and such regulations and published interpretations. Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar has incurred any unpaid liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for the

                    (ii) Labor Matters. Each of Vivitar and its subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with all other applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances relating to the employment of labor, including, without limitation, the provisions thereof relative to wages, hours, collective bargaining, working conditions, and payment of taxes of any kind, and neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is liable for any arrears of wages or any taxes or penalties for failure to comply with any of the foregoing or has any obligations for any vacation, sick leave, or other compensatory time. Neither Vivitar nor any subsidiary of Vivitar is a party to any collective bargaining or other contract or agreement with any labor union, and there is no request for union representation pending or threatened against Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar. To the knowledge of Vivitar, there is not pending or threatened any (A) labor dispute, grievance, strike, or work stoppage involving any of the employees of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar, (B) charge or complaint against or involving any employees of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar by the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, or any similar foreign, federal, state, or local board or agency, or (C) unfair employment or labor practice charges by or on behalf of any employee of Vivitar or any subsidiary of Vivitar.

Neither Syntax-Brillian nor any subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian has any material liabilities or obligations of a type that would be included in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether related to tax or non-tax matters, accrued or contingent, due or not yet due, liquidated or unliquidated or otherwise, except as and to the extent disclosed or reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Syntax-Brillian and its consolidated subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 (“Syntax-Brillian Base Balance Sheet”), or incurred since the date of Syntax-Brillian Base Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business.

All leases

pursuant to which Syntax-Brillian or any subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian leases any substantial amount of real or personal assets or properties are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms.

               (h) Condition of Assets and Properties.

Each of Syntax-Brillian and its subsidiaries owns or holds all of the rights to use all patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and trade secrets, logos, fictitious names, service marks, and slogans that are used in or necessary to the operation of its business. None of the matters covered by the intellectual property, nor any of the products or services sold or provided by Syntax-Brillian or any subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian, nor any of the processes used or the business practices followed by Syntax-Brillian or any subsidiary of Syntax-Brillian, infringes or has infringed upon any patent, copyright, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade name right, trade secret, logo, fictitious name, service mark, or slogan owned by any person or entity (or any application with respect thereto), or constitutes unfair competition.

               (b) Indemnification by Syntax-Brillian. Syntax-Brillian covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Great Step harmless for, from, and against, and will pay to Great Step the amount of, any and all damages, losses, liabilities (absolute and contingent), fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, costs, and expenses (collectively, “Great Step Losses”) (including those incurred in the investigation, defense, or settlement with respect to or arising out of any demand, claim, inquiry, investigation, proceeding, action, or cause of action) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim, that Great Step may directly or indirectly suffer or incur by reason of (a) the inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties of Syntax-Brillian or SBV contained in this Agreement or any of the agreements, certificates, documents, exhibits, or schedules delivered in connection with this Agreement; or (b) the failure to comply with, or the breach or the default by Syntax-Brillian or SBV, of any of the covenants, warranties, or agreements made by Syntax-Brillian or SBV in this Agreement or any of the agreements, certificates, documents, exhibits, or schedules delivered in connection with this Agreement. Except in the case of fraud, the right of Great Step after the Effective Time to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments from Syntax-Brillian shall be in a maximum amount not to exceed $3,900,000 pursuant to this Section shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by Great Step with respect to any inaccuracy or breach in

any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Syntax-Brillian or SBV contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Great Step may not receive any amounts until the aggregate amount of Great Step Losses exceed an aggregate of $100,000, in such case, Great Step may recover the entire amount of the cumulative Great Step Losses.

          7.3 Escrow Arrangement. At the Effective Time, Great Step will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent (as defined below) the Escrow Shares (plus any additional shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization effected by Syntax-Brillian after the Effective Time), without any act of Great Step. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Escrow Shares will be deposited with Arizona Escrow Financial Corporation (or other institution reasonably acceptable to Syntax-Brillian and Great Step), as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”), such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement. Syntax-Brillian will pay the administrative costs relating to the Escrow Fund, including the charges of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Syntax-Brillian for any Syntax-Brillian Losses. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Section and the Escrow Agreement. Except in the case of (i) fraud or (ii) a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Great Step in Section 3.3(a), Section 3.3(b), or Section 3.3(c) of this Agreement, the right of Syntax-Brillian after the Effective Time to assert indemnification claims and receive indemnification payments from the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Section shall be the sole and exclusive right and remedy exercisable by Syntax-Brillian with respect to any inaccuracy or breach in any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Vivitar or Great Step contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Syntax-Brillian may not receive any shares from the Escrow Fund unless and until Officer’s Certificates (as defined in Section 7.3(c) below) identifying Syntax-Brillian Losses, the aggregate cumulative amount of which exceed $100,000, have been delivered to the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 7.3(c); in such case, Syntax-Brillian may recover from the Escrow Fund the entire amount of the cumulative Syntax-Brillian Losses.

               (a) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., California time, on the Expiration Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or some portion thereof), that is necessary in the reasonable judgment of Syntax-Brillian, subject to the objection of Great Step and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner provided in this Section, to satisfy any unsatisfied Syntax-Brillian Losses concerning facts and circumstances existing prior to the termination of the Escrow Period specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period. As soon as any such Syntax-Brillian Loss has been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Great Step the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy any other such unresolved Syntax-Brillian Loss.

               (b) Protection of Escrow Fund. Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Syntax-Brillian and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms of this Section. Any shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock or other equity securities issued or distributed by Syntax-Brillian (including shares issued upon a stock split) in respect of shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock in the Escrow Fund at the time of issuance or distribution shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a part thereof. Cash dividends on shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock in the Escrow Fund shall not be added to the Escrow Fund but shall be distributed to Great Step. Great Step shall have voting rights and cash dividend distribution rights with respect to the shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock in the Escrow Fund (and on any voting securities added to the Escrow Fund in respect of such shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock).

               (c) Claims Upon Escrow Fund Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before 5:00 p.m. California time on the Expiration Date of a certificate signed by any officer of Syntax-Brillian (an “Officer’s Certificate”): (A) stating that Syntax-Brillian has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Syntax-Brillian Losses and specifying an aggregate amount thereof, and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Syntax-Brillian Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related and to the extent known a reasonable summary of the facts underlying the claim, and if no objection is received from Great Step in accordance with this Section, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of this Section, deliver to Syntax-Brillian out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock held in the Escrow Fund in an amount equal to such Syntax-Brillian Losses. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock to be delivered to Syntax-Brillian pursuant to this Section, the shares of Syntax-Brillian Common Stock shall be valued at the Syntax-Brillian Common Stock Average Price.

               (d) Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to Great Step in the manner contemplated by Section 7.3(d) and for a period of 30 days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to Syntax-Brillian of any Escrow Shares pursuant to this Section unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from Great Step to make such delivery. After the expiration of such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of shares of Syntax-Brillian Common from the Escrow Fund in accordance with this Section, provided that no such payment or delivery may be made if Great Step shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer’s Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.

          7.4 Notice and Right to Defend Third-Party Claims. In addition to the requirements of Section 7.3 above, promptly upon receipt of notice of any claim, demand, or assessment or the commencement of any suit, action, or proceeding with respect to which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the party seeking to be indemnified or held harmless (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify in writing, if possible, within sufficient time to respond

to such claim or answer or otherwise plead in such action, the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”). In case any claim, demand, or assessment shall be asserted, or suit, action, or proceeding commenced against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled, at the Indemnitor’s expense, to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense, conduct, or settlement thereof, at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee, whose consent to the selection of counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Indemnitor confirms to the Indemnitee that it is a claim to which its rights of indemnification apply. The Indemnitor shall have the right to settle or compromise monetary claims without the consent of Indemnitee; however, as to any other claim, the Indemnitor shall first obtain the prior written consent from the Indemnitee, which consent shall be exercised in the sole discretion of the Indemnitee. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee of Indemnitor’s intent so to assume the defense, conduct, settlement, or compromise of such action, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs) subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense, conduct, or settlement of such action while the Indemnitor is diligently defending, conducting, settling, or compromising such action. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee apprised of the status of the suit, action, or proceeding and shall make Indemnitor’s counsel available to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitor’s expense, upon the request of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection with any such claim and shall make personnel, books, and records and other information relevant to the claim available to the Indemnitor to the extent that such personnel, books, and records and other information are in the possession and/or control of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor decides not to participate, the Indemnitee shall be entitled, at the Indemnitor’s expense, to defend, conduct, settle, or compromise such matter with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitor, whose consent to the selection of counsel shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

          7.5 Sole Remedy. Except in the case of (a) fraud or (b) a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Great Step in Section 3.3(a), Section 3.3(b), or Section 3.3(c) of this Agreement, in which event this provision shall not apply, the right of indemnification shall be the sole remedy which any party may have against any other party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, in the event of a breach by such other party of any covenant, representation, warranty, or agreement made under or pursuant to this Agreement. Except in the case of (a) fraud or (b) a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Great Step in Section 3.3(a), Section 3.3(b), or Section 3.3(c) of this Agreement, in which event this provision shall not apply. For purposes of clarity, the Escrow Fund will be the exclusive right and remedy exercisable by Syntax-Brillian against Great Step with respect to any inaccuracy or breach in any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Great Step or Vivitar, which shall be limited to the Escrow Shares.
