The new conversion price applicable to each such Convertible Security shall be determined by dividing the conversion price immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio. All references in the Convertible Securities to Vicor, Vicor Common Stock and Vicor Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be references to SRKP, SRKP Common Stock and SRKP Preferred Stock, respectively, after giving effect to the adjustments pursuant to this Section. 7 EXECUTION COPY (k) At the Effective Time, SRKP shall assume the rights and obligations under Vicor's outstanding warrants, if any, to purchase shares of Vicor Common Stock that were granted by Vicor before the termination of the Warrant and Option Program and that were not exercised, cancelled, exchanged pursuant to the Warrant and Option Program, terminated or expired (collectively, the "Warrants").

In light of the foregoing, each party shall permit the other party full access on reasonable notice and at reasonable hours to its properties and shall disclose and make available (together with the right to copy) to the other party and its officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other representatives (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Representatives"), all books, papers, and records relating to the assets, stock, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities of such party and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all books of account (including, without limitation, the general ledger), tax records, minute books of directors' and stockholders' meetings, organizational documents, bylaws, contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, accountants' work papers, litigation files (including, without limitation, legal research memoranda), attorney's audit response letters, documents relating to assets and title thereto (including, without limitation, abstracts, title insurance policies, surveys, environmental reports, opinions of title and other information relating to the real and personal property), plans affecting employees, securities transfer records and stockholder lists, and any books, papers and records (collectively referred to herein as "Evaluation Material") relating to other assets or business activities in which such party may have a reasonable interest, and otherwise provide such assistance as is reasonably requested in order that each party may have a full opportunity to make such investigation and evaluation as it shall reasonably desire to make of the business and affairs of the other party; provided, however, that the foregoing rights granted to each party shall, whether or not and regardless of the extent to which the same are exercised, in no way affect the nature or scope of the representations, warranties and covenants of the respective party set forth herein. In addition, each party and its Representatives shall cooperate fully (including providing introductions, where necessary) with such other party to enable the party to contact third parties, including customers, prospective customers, specified agencies or others as the party deems reasonably necessary to complete its due diligence; provided that such party agrees not to initiate such contacts without the prior approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. 31 EXECUTION COPY (b) Vicor and SRKP agree that each such party will not use the Evaluation Material for any purpose other than in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of any Evaluation Material, except to such party's Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, to the extent necessary to permit such Affiliate or Representative to assist such party in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees that it will, within ten (10) days of the other party's request, re-deliver to such party all copies of that party's Evaluation Material in its possession or that of its Affiliates or Representatives if the Merger does not close as contemplated herein. (c) In the event any party or anyone to whom Evaluation Material has been transmitted in accordance with the terms herein is requested in connection with any proceeding to disclose any Evaluation Material, or a party has determined that it is required under applicable law or regulation to disclose Evaluation Material, such party will give the other party prompt notice of such request or determination so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement, and such party will cooperate with the other party to obtain such protective order. In the event such protective order is not obtained, the other party waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this Section, such party (or such Person to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material which is required to be disclosed. The parties acknowledge that, upon execution and delivery, this Agreement (but not the exhibits and schedules thereto) will be filed by SRKP with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Form 8-K. (d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if prior to Closing, for any reason, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, neither SRKP nor Vicor nor any of their Representatives shall disclose to third parties or otherwise use any Evaluation Material or other confidential information received from the other party in the course of investigating, negotiating, and performing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing shall be deemed to be confidential information which: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, its affiliates or Representatives; (ii) was available to such party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure; (iii) becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other party or its agents, advisors or Representatives; 32 EXECUTION COPY (iv) developed by such party independently of any disclosure by the other party; or (v) is disclosed in compliance with Section 6.3(c). Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the disclosure of information required to be made under federal or state securities laws. If any disclosure is so required, the party making such disclosure shall consult with the other party prior to making such disclosure, and the parties shall use all reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosure which is satisfactory to both parties. (e) SRKP and Vicor each agree that money damages would not be sufficient to remedy any breach by the other party of this Section, and that, in addition to all other remedies, each party against which a breach of this Section has been committed shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of such breach. 6.4 TAX TREATMENT. Each of the parties undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Merger, and to use its reasonable efforts to take no action which would cause the Merger not, to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for federal income tax purposes. 6.5 PRESS RELEASES. Vicor and SRKP shall agree with each other as to the form and substance of any press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit either party, following notification to the other party, from making any disclosure which is required by law or regulation. If any such press release or public announcement is so required, the party making such disclosure shall consult with the other party prior to making such disclosure, and the parties shall use all reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosure which is satisfactory to both parties. 6.6 REGISTRATION STATEMENT; PROXY STATEMENT; STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. Subject to the obligations and understandings set forth in Section 6.7 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, at a date determined by Vicor in its sole discretion (provided that such date is after the closing of the Convertible Note Private Financing), Vicor shall prepare and SRKP shall file the Registration Statement with the SEC, and both parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act and take any action required to be taken under the applicable state Blue Sky or securities laws in connection with the issuance of the shares of SRKP Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger. SRKP and Vicor shall each cooperate in the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and shall each furnish all information concerning it and the holders of its capital stock as either party may reasonably request in connection with such action. Vicor shall call a Stockholders' Meeting, to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, for the purpose of voting upon approval of this Agreement and such other related matters as it deems appropriate.

("WestPark Affiliates"), as specified in Section 6.7 of the SRKP/MergerCo Disclosure Schedule, who shall instead receive registration rights to require SRKP to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 or other appropriate form (the "Second Registration Statement") to register the resale of shares of SRKP Common Stock held by them and shares of SRKP Common Stock held by WestPark Capital, Inc.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if SRKP fails to file the Second Registration Statement by the Required Second Filing Date or if the Second Registration Statement does not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date due to the failure of SRKP to fulfill its obligations hereunder and the WestPark Registration Rights Agreement, SRKP shall be required to issue, as liquidated damages, to WestPark Capital, Inc. and the WestPark Affiliates shares equal to a total of 0.0333% of the shares to be covered by the Second Registration Statement for each day that the Second Registration Statement has not been filed or declared effective by the SEC (and until the Second Registration Statement is filed with or declared effective by the SEC), as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all obligations under clause (i) of this Section 6.7 shall cease with respect to the SRKP Stockholder Registration Statement and the Second Registration Statement, respectively, if all of the shares of SRKP Common Stock covered by the SRKP Stockholder Registration Statement and the Second Registration Statement (y) are sold pursuant to such registration statement, or (z) become otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 34 EXECUTION COPY 6.8 SECURITIES REPORTS.

SRKP will promptly advise Vicor if it receives a proposal or inquiry with respect to the matters described above. (b) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, neither Vicor nor its officers, directors or agents shall, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with, or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide non-public information to, any Person or group of Persons concerning any merger, sale of capital stock, sale of substantial assets or other business combination; provided, however, that Vicor may engage in such discussion in response to any unsolicited proposal from an unrelated party if the Board of Directors of Vicor determines, in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions and provide such non-public information (subject to obtaining confidentiality agreements) may constitute a breach of the fiduciary or legal obligations of the Board of Directors of Vicor.

Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement must, to the extent such courts will accept such jurisdiction, be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of those courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such action or proceeding may be served by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.10, however, affects the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the date first written above by their respective officers. VICOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. By: /s/ David H.
