RECITALS

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, the Transfer Assets (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:

1. Sale of Transfer Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of and in exchange for the consideration set forth in Sections 3, Seller agrees, on the Closing Date (as defined below), to sell, transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transfer Assets (as defined below) “as is”, “where is”, and without recourse (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement), and (except as set forth in Section 8 below) without representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties as to quiet enjoyment, merchantability, value, useful life, fitness for intended use, or similar representations and warranties. On the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver to each other a Bill of Sale, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and a Patent Assignment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer Assets” shall mean the following:

(a) the patents and patent applications listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Patents”).

2. Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Transfer Assets shall not include any of the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Assets shall not be transferred to Purchaser, but shall be retained by Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Assets” shall include all assets of Seller not expressly listed as “Transfer Assets”, including without limitation the following items:

(a) all cash, cash equivalents and uncashed checks held or received by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(b) any right that Seller has with respect to tax refunds, claims for tax refunds and tax attributes arising prior to the Closing Date;

(c) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all books and records of the Seller;

(d) the rights or obligations granted to the Seller under this Agreement;

(e) any rights or claims under any insurance policies of the Seller; and

(f) any claims or causes of action arising from or relating to the Seller’s use, ownership or operation of the Transfer Assets prior to the Closing, other than claims for infringement or misappropriation of the Patents and other intellectual property rights included in the Transfer Assets.

3. Consideration. As consideration for the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance to Purchaser of the Transfer Assets on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, within one business day following the Effective Date, pay Seller a one-time, non-refundable (except as provided in Section 14(n)), non-creditable payment of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000) (the “Purchase Amount”). Upon Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Amount, the Purchase Amount shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions attached to this Agreement as Exhibit E. On the Effective Date, Purchaser and Seller shall execute and deliver to the individual designated as the escrow agent in the Joint Escrow Instructions or person’s designee (the “Escrow Agent”) the Joint Escrow Instructions, which will be held and used by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Joint Escrow Instructions provide that the Purchaser and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Purchase Amount to Seller following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7.

4. Obligations Assumed.

(a) Liabilities. Purchaser agrees, upon consummation of, and effective as of, the Closing, to assume all liabilities, obligations and commitments of Seller of any nature whatsoever under or related the Transfer Assets, other than liabilities arising out of or relating to conduct accruing prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”).

(b) Liabilities and Obligations Not Assumed. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not assume or become obligated in any way to pay any liabilities, debts or obligations of Seller whatsoever, including but not limited to any liabilities or obligations now or hereafter arising from Seller’s business activities that took place prior to the Closing or any liabilities arising out of or connected to any action or inaction of Seller in connection with the liquidation and winding down of Seller’s business. All liabilities, debts and obligations of Seller not expressly assumed by Purchaser hereunder as Assumed Liabilities are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities.”

2

(c) No Obligations to Third Parties. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto, or make any person or entity a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, or to obligate either party to any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement. Assumption by Purchaser of any liabilities or obligations of Seller under Section 4(a) shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of third parties against Purchaser as compared to the rights and remedies such parties would have against Seller if the Closing were not consummated.

5. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Transfer Assets (the “Closing”) shall occur promptly following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below at such time and place as Seller and Purchaser mutually agree, orally or in writing, and may be effected by the email or facsimile exchange of closing deliverables hereunder (or in such other manner, as the parties shall mutually agree in writing). The date on which the Closing is consummated is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Assets meeting the definition of Transfer Assets delivered to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller either on or after the Closing Date shall be deemed to be Transfer Assets for all purposes of this Agreement.

(a) With respect to the materials listed on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Materials”), each of Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (A) to endeavor to obtain the consents, approvals, clearances, ratifications, permissions, authorizations or waivers from any third parties that control the Materials to cause Purchaser to take title or assume (as applicable) the Materials as of and subject to the Closing (provided that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to expend money, commence, defend or participate in any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any such third party), and (B) to cooperate, upon written request of Purchaser, in endeavoring to obtain for Purchaser, at no cost to Seller, an arrangement to provide to the Purchaser, in compliance with law, substantially comparable interests in the Materials as held by Seller immediately prior to the closing. For avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under the preceding sentence if, on or before the Closing Date:

(l) Confidentiality.

i.

Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone all or any portion of the Confidential Information, other than (A) to Purchaser’s employees and consultants who are required to have access to such Confidential Information in connection with the Purpose, (B) to Purchaser’s professional advisers (e.g., lawyers and accountants), provided that any and all such employees and consultants are bound by written agreements or, in the case of professional advisers, ethical duties, respecting the Confidential Information in the manner set forth in this Agreement and (C) retention of a copy of the Materials that constitute electronic

11

records by Seller for ordinary archival and recordkeeping purposes. If the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, the Purchaser will promptly return to the Seller all Confidential Information. In addition to the restrictions set forth in this Section 14(l), but subject to the terms of Section 14(m), each party agrees that it shall not, at any point prior to or after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose the existence or terms or conditions of this Agreement.

ii. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (A) at the time of disclosure is available to the public, (B) after the date of disclosure becomes generally available to the public, except through a breach of this Section 14(l), (C) is independently developed by the employees or agents of the Purchaser without use of or reference to the Confidential Information, (D) that is received from a third party without restriction and without breach of any agreement between such third party and the Seller.

iii. In the event that the Purchaser is required by law to make any disclosure of any of the Confidential Information, by subpoena, judicial or administrative order or otherwise, the Purchaser shall first give written notice of such requirement to the Seller, and shall permit the Seller to intervene in any relevant proceedings to protect its interests in the Confidential Information, and provide full cooperation and assistance to the Seller in seeking to obtain such protection.

iv. Each party acknowledges that a breach by it of any of the terms of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party for which the other party could not be adequately compensated by money damages. Accordingly, each party agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available to the other party in an action at law, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by a party of the terms of this Section 14(l), the other party shall, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security, be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance of the terms of this Section 14(l).

(m) Public Announcements. No party shall issue or make any public announcement, press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the prior written approval of the other party, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing party’s counsel, required by applicable law (including securities regulations) or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing party are listed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, following the Closing, (i) Purchaser and its licensees, sublicensees and other collaborators shall be permitted, without the prior approval of or prior notice to Seller, to disclose for any purpose, and to make publications and public presentations regarding, progress and results with respect to the development and commercialization of the Transfer Assets; and (ii) Purchaser shall be permitted, without the prior approval of or prior notice to Seller, to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, other than the amount of the Purchase Price, to actual and potential investors, licensees, sublicensees, collaborators and acquirers on a reasonable need-to-know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof. If a party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required by applicable law (including securities regulations) or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed to make a public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter, such party shall, if practicable under the circumstances, submit the proposed

12

Each of Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its obligations to complete the Closing and the transactions contemplated in connection therewith in the event that the other party materially breaches this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after such other party receives notice from the first party of such material breach.
