RECITALS

     A. WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Brillian, BRMC, and Syntax have approved a transaction as a result of which Syntax would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Brillian on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

     B. WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Brillian, BRMC, and Syntax have each approved the merger of BRMC with and into Syntax (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

     C. WHEREAS Brillian, BRMC, and Syntax desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

AGREEMENT

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

SECTION 1.
MERGER OF BRMC AND SYNTAX

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

          1.2 Effect of the Merger. Upon the Merger becoming effective, the separate existence of BRMC shall cease, and Syntax 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 BRMC, all without further act or deed, as provided in Section 1107 of the California General Corporation Law.

          1.3 Name of the Syntax. On the Effective Date, the name of Syntax shall be unchanged as a result of the Merger.

          1.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Syntax on the Effective Date shall be unchanged as a result of the Merger.

          1.5 Directors. The directors of Syntax immediately after the Effective Date shall be determined by the Board of Directors of Brillian after the Effective Date as

contemplated by this Agreement until their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

          1.6 Officers. The officers of Syntax immediately after the Effective Date shall be determined by the Board of Directors of Syntax on the Effective Date until their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

          1.7 Status and Conversion of Securities.

               (a) Conversion of Syntax Stock into Brillian Stock. Upon the Merger becoming effective, the shares of Common Stock of Syntax (“Syntax Common Stock”) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date, by reason of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall be converted into shares of Brillian Common Stock, par value $.001 (“Brillian Common Stock”), on the basis that the shareholders of Syntax will own 70% and the stockholders of Brillian will own 30% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Brillian on a fully diluted basis assuming that all options, warrants, and convertible securities were exercised or converted in accordance with their terms as of the Effective Date, except that any shares of Syntax Common Stock owned by Brillian or held in the treasury of Syntax shall be cancelled and all rights in respect thereof shall cease to exist and no cash or securities or other property shall be issued in respect thereof.

               (b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Brillian Common Stock shall be issued. Each former shareholder of Syntax other than Brillian (“Syntax Shareholder”) shall receive only the number of whole shares of Brillian Common Stock to which such Syntax Shareholder is entitled.

               (c) Exchange of Certificates. After the Effective Date but subject to the Escrow and Indemnity Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto, each holder other than Brillian of an outstanding certificate or certificates theretofore representing shares of Syntax Common Stock (“Syntax Stock Certificates”), upon surrender thereof to such bank, trust company, or other person, including Brillian, as shall be designated by Brillian (“Exchange Agent”), shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Syntax 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 Syntax Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes, other than the payment of dividends or other distributions, if any, in respect of Brillian Common Stock, to represent the number of whole shares of Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Syntax Common Stock theretofore represented thereby shall have been converted. No dividend or other distribution, if any, payable to holders of shares of Brillian Common Stock shall be paid to the holders of certificates theretofore representing shares of Syntax Common Stock; provided, however, that upon surrender and exchange of such Syntax 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 Date have been declared and become payable with respect to the number of whole shares of Brillian Common Stock into which the shares of Syntax Common Stock theretofore represented thereby shall have been converted.

2

               (d) Conversion of BRMC Capital Stock. As of the Effective Date, each share of common stock of BRMC, par value $.001, shall be converted into one newly issued share of Syntax Common Stock.

               (e) Rights To Purchase Syntax Common Stock. The outstanding options, warrant, and rights to purchase Syntax Common Stock (collectively, “Syntax Stock Option”) shall be substituted for and become, on the Effective Date, options to purchase from Brillian shares of Brillian Common Stock with the number of shares to be purchased and the exercise price appropriately calculated in accordance with Section 1.7 so that each option, warrant, or rights shall become exercisable for or convertible into that number of shares of Brillian Common Stock that it would have received had it been exercised or converted immediately prior to the Effective Date.

               (f) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Syntax Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior the Effective Date and held by any Syntax Shareholder that did not vote in favor of the Merger and that complies with Section 1300 of the California General Corporation Law (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but, instead, shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due such Syntax Shareholder pursuant to the California General Corporation Law. If any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s rights to appraisal under the California General Corporation Law, that holder’s shares of Syntax Common Stock shall thereupon be converted into the right to receive, as of the Effective Date, the Merger Consideration without any interest. Syntax shall give Brillian (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Syntax Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the California General Corporation Law and received by Syntax relating to shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the California General Corporation Law. Syntax shall not, except with the prior written consent of Brillian, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of capital stock of Syntax, offer to settle, or settle any demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

          1.8 Brillian to Make Shares Available. By the Effective Date, Brillian shall make available, by transferring to BRMC or by transferring directly to the Exchange Agent, if any, for the benefit of the Syntax Shareholders, such number of shares of Brillian Common Stock as shall be required for conversion in accordance with this Agreement.

          1.9 Further Documents. From time to time, on and after the Effective Date, as and when requested by Brillian, the appropriate officers and directors of Syntax as of the Effective Date shall, for and on behalf of and in the name of Syntax 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 Brillian may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to confirm of record or otherwise to Brillian or Syntax title to and possession of all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises, and immunities of Syntax and otherwise to carry out fully the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

3

          1.10 Effective Date. The Merger shall become effective on such date (the “Effective Date”) 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 meetings of their respective stockholders and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent that shall not have been waived.

          1.11 Corporate Name Change. As soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, the corporate name of Brillian shall be changed to “Syntax-Brillian Corporation.”

          1.12 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. This Agreement constitutes a “Plan of Reorganization” as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(a) and has been duly adopted by each party hereto as such.

SECTION 2.
STOCKHOLDER APPROVALS; PROXY AND REGISTRATION FILINGS

          2.1 Stockholder Approvals. Meetings of the stockholders of Brillian, BRMC, and Syntax shall be held in accordance with the laws of their respective states of incorporation, on or before October 31, 2005 (or such other date or dates as may be approved by their Boards of Directors), in each case, among other things, to consider and act upon the adoption of this Agreement (except, in the case of BRMC, the adoption of this Agreement may be consented to in writing by Brillian, as the sole stockholder of BRMC, on or before that date), provided that the meeting may be delayed by any party to a date not more than 60 days following the availability of audited financial statements of Syntax for the fiscal year of Syntax ending June 30, 2005 (the “Syntax 2005 Financial Statements”).

          2.2 Proxy and Registration Statements.

               (a) Preparation of Proxy Statement. Brillian shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and related proxy material to be used in connection with the meeting of stockholders of Brillian referred to in Section 2.1.

               (b) Preparation of Registration Statement. Brillian shall prepare a registration statement, including a form of prospectus, and one or more amendments thereto, on Form S-4 or other appropriate form covering the shares of Brillian Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Snytax Common Stock are to be converted as set forth in Section 1.7 of this Agreement and shall use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective prior to September 15, 2005 or as soon as practicable thereafter depending on the availability of the Syntax 2005 Financial Statements. Brillian shall deliver to Syntax copies of the registration statement and each amendment thereto filed or proposed to be filed (and of each related preliminary prospectus). The registration statement and the prospectus, as amended at the time the registration statement becomes effective, are herein called the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus.” Brillian shall advise Syntax and shall confirm in writing (i)

4

when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall have become effective and when any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus is filed with the SEC, (ii) when the SEC shall make a request or suggestion for any amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information and the nature and substance thereof, and (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of a stop order and, if such order shall be issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time. Brillian represents and warrants to Syntax that the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including the information therein provided by Brillian but not including information therein provided by Syntax) and any other amendments and supplements thereto, will, when they become effective, conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations thereunder, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that Brillian makes no representation or warranty as to statements or omissions therein relating to Syntax.

               (c) Information Respecting Brillian and BRMC. Brillian shall furnish for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement such information about Brillian and BRMC as may reasonably be necessary. Brillian represents and warrants that the information so supplied, as it may be revised from time to time by Brillian or BRMC, will not contain any statement that, as of the time the Proxy Statement and Prospectus are distributed and in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or that omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading.

               (d) Information Respecting Syntax. Syntax shall furnish for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement such information about Syntax as may reasonably be necessary. Syntax represents and warrants that the information so supplied, as it may be revised from time to time by Syntax, will not contain any statement that, as of the time the Proxy Statement and Prospectus are distributed and in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or that omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading.

               (e) Amendments to Proxy Statement and Registration Statement. If, at any time prior to the meeting of Brillian Stockholders, it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement to correct any statement or omission with respect to Brillian, BRMC, or Syntax, in order to comply with any applicable legal requirements, Brillian, BRMC, or Syntax, as the case may be, shall supply the necessary information to the others. To the extent necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements, Brillian shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

SECTION 3.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          3.1 Representations and Warranties of Syntax. Except as otherwise set forth in or reflected by items included in the Syntax Disclosure Schedule heretofore delivered by Syntax to Brillian, Syntax represents and warrants to Brillian as follows:

               (a) Due Incorporation, Good Standing, and Qualification. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, 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 properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax is subject to any material disability 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. Syntax has heretofore delivered to Brillian a list setting forth, as of the date of this Agreement, each jurisdiction in which Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax is qualified to do business. (As used in this Agreement with reference to Syntax, the term “subsidiaries” shall include all direct or indirect subsidiaries of Syntax.)

               (b) Corporate Authority. Syntax has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the requisite approval of the Syntax Shareholders, to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. The Board of Directors of Syntax has duly authorized the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement. No other corporate proceedings on the part of Syntax or its subsidiaries are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Syntax of this Agreement or the consummation by Syntax of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding agreement of, Syntax, enforceable against Syntax 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, Syntax has authorized 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 21,476,316 shares are issued and outstanding. As of such date, 996,250 shares of Syntax Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding Syntax Stock Options, and 833,333 shares of Syntax Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to a pending share subscription agreement. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Syntax and of each of its subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and are free of preemptive rights.

               (d) Options, Warrants, and Rights. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax has outstanding any options, warrants, or other rights to purchase, or convert any obligation into, any shares of its capital stock, other than those referred to in Section 3.1(c).

               (e) Subsidiaries. Syntax has delivered to Brillian a list setting forth as of the date of this Agreement (i) the name, jurisdiction of incorporation, and list of shareholders

6

of each subsidiary of Syntax, and (ii) the name and a description of every other person, corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other business association in which Syntax directly or indirectly owns a material interest. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the subsidiaries of Syntax owned by Syntax or any of its subsidiaries are owned free and clear of all claims, liens, charges, and encumbrances.

               (f) Financial Statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheets of Syntax and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows of Syntax and subsidiaries for the period from April 21, 2003 (inception) to June 30, 2003 and the year ended June 30, 2004, and all related schedules and notes to the foregoing, have been certified by Grobstein, Horwath & Company LLP, registered independent public accountants, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Syntax and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows of Syntax and subsidiaries for the six months ended December 31, 2004, and all related schedules and notes to the foregoing, have been prepared by Syntax without audit from the books and records of Syntax. 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 Syntax and subsidiaries as of their respective dates and for the periods indicated except that the financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the six-month period then ended do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and are subject to normal year-end adjustments, none of which are material and which constitute only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax 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 and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 (“Syntax Base Balance Sheet”), or incurred since the date of the Syntax Base Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business.

               (g) No Material Change. Since December 31, 2004, there has not been and there is not threatened (i) any material adverse change in the financial condition, business, properties, assets, or results of operations of Syntax and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; (ii) any loss or damage (whether or not covered by insurance) to any of the assets or properties of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax that materially affects or impairs its ability to conduct its businesses; (iii) any event or condition of any character that has materially and adversely affected the business or prospects (financial or otherwise) of Syntax and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (iv) any mortgage or pledge of any material amount of the assets or properties of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax, or any indebtedness incurred by Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax, other than indebtedness, not material in the aggregate, incurred in the ordinary course of business.

               (h) Title to Properties. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all of its real and personal properties, including all properties reflected in the Syntax Base Balance Sheet, or acquired subsequent to the date of the Syntax Base Balance

7

Sheet, except 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 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 Syntax 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 Syntax and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or materially impair the use thereof in the operation of their respective businesses, except in each case as disclosed in the Syntax Base Balance Sheet. All leases pursuant to which Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax leases any substantial amount of real or personal property are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms.

               (i) Condition of Assets and Properties. The buildings, equipment, machinery, and all other tangible personal assets and properties presently used in, or necessary for the operation of, the business of Syntax 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 Syntax, threatened against Syntax or any of its subsidiaries, at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality that, if determined adversely to Syntax or its subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, or operations, or on the condition, financial or otherwise, of Syntax and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

               (k) Licenses and Permits. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax is subject to any material disability or liability by reason of its failure to possess any license, permit, franchise, certificate, consent, approval, or authorization. Each of Syntax 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 all assets and properties and the premises occupied by it.

               (l) Intellectual Property. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax is subject to any material disability or liability by reason of its failure to possess any patent, trademark, trademark right, trade name, trade name right, or license.

               (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 breach by Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax of, or constitute a 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, or mortgage of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax; (iii) any provision or restriction of any lien, lease agreement, contract, or instrument to which Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax is a party or by which any of them is bound; or (iv)

8

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 Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax is subject or by which Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax is bound. Neither the execution and delivery by Syntax 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 Syntax’s subsidiaries or any of the assets of Syntax.

               (n) Taxes. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries has filed all material federal, state, foreign, local, and any other applicable tax returns and reports required to be filed and has paid in full or adequately reserved for all taxes and assessments shown due thereon (together with all interest, penalties, assessments, and deficiencies assessed in connection therewith due through the date hereof). All such tax returns are complete and accurate in all material respects, and Syntax has paid or made provision for the payment of all taxes that have been incurred or are due or claimed to be due from Syntax or any of its subsidiaries by 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. The amounts set up as reserves for taxes on the books of Syntax 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 Syntax or any of its subsidiaries.

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

               (p) Contracts. Except in the case of clauses (v) and (vi) of this paragraph for purchase orders in the ordinary course of business for the purchase or sale of goods, neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax 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 property used or proposed to be used in its operations, except, in each case, items included within aggregate amounts disclosed in the Syntax Base Balance Sheet; (iv) any employment agreement or other similar arrangement not terminable 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 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 material license agreement. All contracts, agreements, and other arrangements to which Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax is a party are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms; Syntax, its subsidiaries, and all other parties to each of the

9

foregoing have performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed to date; neither Syntax, nor any subsidiary of Syntax, nor any such other party, is in default or in 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 default under any of them.

               (q) Compliance with Law and Other Regulations. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of 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 unless such noncompliance would not have a material adverse effect on Syntax and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Syntax 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 Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax has received any notice from any 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. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax is subject to or has been threatened with any material fine, penalty, liability, or disability as the result of its failure to comply with any requirement of federal, state, local, or foreign law or regulation (including those relating to the employment of labor or environmental matters) or any requirement of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over it, the conduct of its business, the use of its assets and properties, or any premises occupied by it.

               (r) Labor Matters. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries has complied with all applicable federal, state, and local laws 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 Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax 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 except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past periods. Neither Syntax nor any subsidiary of Syntax 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 Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax. There is not pending or threatened any (i) labor dispute, grievance, strike, or work stoppage involving any of the employees of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax, (ii) charge or complaint against or involving any employees of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax by the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Labor, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, or any similar federal, state, or local board or agency, or (iii) unfair employment or labor practice charges by or on behalf of any employee of Syntax or any subsidiary of Syntax.

               (s) Insurance. Each of Syntax and its subsidiaries maintains in full force and effect insurance coverage on its assets, properties, premises, operations, and personnel

10

in such amounts and against such risks and losses as are adequate and customary for the businesses engaged in by it.

               (t) Minute Books. The minute books of Syntax and each of its subsidiaries accurately record, in all material respects, the actions taken by its shareholders and directors.

               (u) Accuracy of Statements. Neither this Agreement nor any statement, list, certificate, or other information furnished or to be furnished by Syntax to Brillian or BRMC in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

          3.2 Representations and Warranties of Brillian and BRMC. Except as otherwise set forth in or reflected by items included in the Brillian Disclosure Schedule heretofore delivered by Brillian to Syntax, except as disclosed in any document heretofore filed by Brillian with the SEC, Brillian and BRMC jointly and severally represent and warrant to Syntax as follows:

               (a) Due Incorporation, Good Standing and Qualification. Brillian is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware with the requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate, and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Brillian is not subject to any material disability 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. Brillian has heretofore delivered to Syntax a list setting forth, as of the date of this Agreement, each jurisdiction in which Brillian or BRMC is qualified to do business. BRMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brillian and, apart from matters arising under this Agreement, has no significant assets, liabilities, or business, except for its right under this Agreement to obtain from Brillian the shares of Brillian Common Stock to be delivered on its behalf to the Syntax Shareholders under this Agreement. (As used in this Agreement with reference to Brillian, the term “subsidiaries” shall include BRMC but not Syntax and all direct and indirect subsidiaries of Syntax. No warranty relating to Brillian, Brillian’s consolidated financial position, or Brillian shall be deemed to be breached as a result of any circumstances that would constitute a breach of warranty by Syntax.)

               (b) Corporate Authority.

          4.3 Other Acquisition Proposals.

               (a) No Solicitation. Brillian (and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents) and Syntax (and its officers, directors, employees, representatives,

18

and agents) shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined). From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, neither Brillian nor Syntax shall permit any of its subsidiaries to, authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, or other representative retained by it or any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information or assistance), or knowingly take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if, at any time the Board of Directors of Brillian or Syntax determines in good faith, after consultation with independent legal counsel (who may be its regularly engaged independent counsel), that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law, Brillian or Syntax, as the case may be, may, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that could reasonably be expected to be considered or become a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined), and subject to compliance with Section 4.3(c), (x) furnish information with respect to it to the person making such unsolicited Superior Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement in reasonably customary form, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal, or offer from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of the assets of Brillian or Syntax and such company’s subsidiaries or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of such company or any of its subsidiaries; any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of such company or any of its subsidiaries; any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all the assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar transaction involving such company or any of its subsidiaries (other than the transactions between the parties hereto contemplated by this Agreement); or any other transaction the consummation of which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent, or materially delay the Merger or which could reasonably be expected to dilute materially the benefits to the other of the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors of Brillian or Syntax, as the case may be, determines in its good faith judgment to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its stockholders than the terms of the Merger set forth in this Agreement.

               (b) Change in Recommendation. Except as set forth in this Section 4.3, neither the Board of Directors of Brillian or Syntax nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the other, the approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger by such Board of Directors or such committee; (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) cause Brillian or Syntax, as the case may be, to enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Brillian or Syntax receives an unsolicited, written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that is not subject to any material contingency relating to financing and its Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with independent legal counsel (who may be its regularly engaged independent counsel), that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law, its Board of Directors may (subject to

19

the other provisions of Section 4.3) withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger, approve or recommend a Superior Proposal, cause it to enter into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, or terminate this Agreement, but in each case only at a time that is after the second business day following its receipt of written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising the other company that its Board of Directors has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and complying with Section 4.3(c).

               (c) Notice. In addition to the obligations of Brillian and Syntax set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.3, Brillian and Syntax shall promptly advise the other orally and in writing of any request for information or of any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition Proposal, and unless Syntax is contractually prohibited from making such disclosure, the identity of the person making such request or Acquisition Proposal and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to present a counterproposal.

               (d) Disclosure to Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 shall prohibit either Brillian or Syntax from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to its stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of its Board of Directors, after consultation with independent legal counsel (who may be its regularly engaged independent counsel), failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law; provided, however, neither Brillian nor Syntax, nor their respective Boards of Directors, or any committee thereof shall, except as permitted by Section 4.3(b), may withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement or the Merger or approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal.

               (e) Break-Up Fee. In the event that Brillian (or its Board of Directors or a committee thereof) or Syntax (or its Board of Directors or a committee thereof) withdraws or modifies, or proposes to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to the Merger or approves or recommends, or proposes to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal, as permitted by this Section 4.3, that party shall pay to the other party $3,500,000 in cash or by cashier’s check or wire transfer.
