Each of the Acquired Companies is duly qualified, licensed or

domesticated as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction
wherein the nature of its activities or its properties owned, held or operated
makes such qualification, licensing or domestication necessary, except where the
failure to be so duly qualified, licensed or domesticated and in good standing
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 5.1
sets forth a true, complete and correct list of each Acquired Company's

Acquired Company; (b) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default (or an

Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the agreements
contemplated by this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Acquired Companies'
businesses by the employees of the Acquired Companies, nor the conduct of the

instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated which would have a
material impact on the ability of the Company to conduct its business. To the
knowledge of the Company, it is not necessary for any Acquired Company to use in
its business any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of any of

"severance pay" or retiree health benefits. Each Acquired Company is in material
compliance with the terms of all plans, and programs relating to employment,
including, without limitation, those plans and programs listed on Schedule 5.24,
and each such plan or program is in compliance with all of the requirements and
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") and the Code and is terminable in the discretion of such Acquired
Company without liability to such Acquired Company upon or following such
termination. No such plan, or program has engaged in any "prohibited
transaction" as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or has incurred any
"accumulated funding deficiency" as defined in Section 302 of ERISA, nor has any
reportable event as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA occurred with respect to
any such plan or program. No Acquired Company has ever maintained, sponsored or
contributed to any plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of
the Code. At no time has any Acquired Company contributed to or been obligated
to contribute to any "multi-employer plan" as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.
With respect to each plan listed on Schedule 5.24, all required filings,
including all filings required to be made with the United States Department of

transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall impose any obligations to
notify or obtain the consent of any Governmental Authority or third Persons
under any Environmental Laws applicable to any Acquired Company.

5.26. Product Liability and Recalls.

5.26.1. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, there are no losses, damages, expenses or liabilities (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) against any Acquired Company
asserted and arising out of or based upon incidents occurring on or prior to the
date hereof with respect to: (a) any product liability or any similar claim that
relates to any of the products designed, developed, manufactured, produced,
distributed, supplied or sold by such Acquired Company to others; (b) the
delivery of faulty services; or (c) any claim for the breach of any express or
limited product warranty, or any similar claim that relates to any product
designed, developed, manufactured, produced, distributed, supplied or sold, or
any service delivered, by such Acquired Company, and the Company has no
knowledge of any product or service defects which could give rise to any such
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities.

5.26.2. To the knowledge of the Company, there exists no basis for
the recall, withdrawal or suspension by order of any Governmental Authority of
any product designed, developed, manufactured, produced, distributed, supplied

defects in the designs, specifications, or process with respect to any product
designed, manufactured, sold, supplied or distributed by any Acquired Company
that would give rise to any liability. There has been no recall, withdrawal, or
suspension from the market of any product designed, manufactured, sold, supplied
or distributed by any Acquired Company.

"severance pay" or retiree health benefits. Each Acquiror Company is in material
compliance with the terms of all plans, and programs relating to employment,

termination. No such plan, or program has engaged in any "prohibited
transaction" as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or has incurred any
"accumulated funding deficiency" as defined in Section 302 of ERISA, nor has any

contributed to any plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of
the Code. At no time has any Acquiror Company contributed to or been obligated
to contribute to any "multi-employer plan" as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall impose any obligations to
notify or obtain the consent of any Governmental Authority or third Persons
under any Environmental Laws applicable to any Acquiror Company.

6.25. Board Recommendation. The Acquiror Board, at a meeting duly
called and held, has determined that this Agreement and the transactions

the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, make all filings
required to be made by it in order to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, if applicable. Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, (a)
cooperate with the Acquiror with respect to all filings that the Acquiror elects
to make or is required to make in connection with the transactions contemplated

of the Acquiror's proxy statement (the "Acquiror Proxy") for a meeting of its
stockholders to consider, among other things, the Required Acquiror Stockholder
Actions, including, without limitation, information concerning the Acquired
Companies, the Shareholders and the Company Nominees. The Company and each
Shareholder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Acquiror
that the information supplied by the Company and each Shareholder for inclusion
in the Acquiror Proxy will not, on the date the Acquiror Proxy is filed with the
Commission or first mailed to the stockholders of the Acquiror, contain any
statement which, at such time and in light of the circumstances under which it
shall be made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein not false or misleading. If, at any time prior to
the Closing Date, any information should be discovered by the Company or any
Shareholder which should be set forth in an amendment to the Acquiror Proxy so
that such Acquiror Proxy would not include any misstatement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the
Company or such Shareholder, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the
Acquiror.

7.5. Notification. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date, the Company and the Shareholders will promptly notify the Acquiror in
writing if the Company, the Shareholders or any Company Subsidiary becomes aware
of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of the
representations and warranties of the Company or the Shareholders, as the case
may be, as of the date of this Agreement, or if the Company, any Shareholder or
any Company Subsidiary becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this
Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated
by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or
warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of
occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. Should any such fact or
condition require any change in the Schedules to this Agreement if the Schedules
to the Agreement were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such
fact or condition, the Company or the Shareholders, as the case may be, will
promptly deliver to the Acquiror a supplement to the Schedules to the Agreement
specifying such change; provided, however, that such delivery shall not affect
any rights of the Acquiror set forth herein, including the right of the Acquiror
to seek a remedy in damages for losses incurred as a result of such supplemented
disclosure. During the same period, the Company and the Shareholders will, and
will cause each Company Subsidiary to, promptly notify the Acquiror of

the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of the Company or the Shareholders
in this Section 7 or of the occurrence of any event that may make the
satisfaction of the conditions in Section 9 impossible or unlikely.

7.6. Company Interim Financial Statements. At least seven days prior to

Closing Date, each of the Company and the Shareholders will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the conditions in Section 9 to be satisfied.

writing if the Acquiror becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or
constitutes a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the
Acquiror, as of the date of this Agreement, or if the Acquiror becomes aware of
the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that
would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a
breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or
warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or
condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Schedules
to this Agreement if the Schedules to the Agreement were dated the date of the
occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, the Acquiror will
promptly deliver to the Company and the Shareholders a supplement to the
Schedules to the Agreement specifying such change; provided, however, that such

including the right of the Shareholders to seek a remedy in damages for losses
incurred as a result of such supplemented disclosure. During the same period,
the Acquiror will promptly notify the Company and the Shareholders of the

the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in
Section 10 impossible or unlikely.

employees or agents of the Acquiror Companies, unless such modification is
required after the Closing Date by Law and then only to the minimum extent
required by such Law.

8.5.2. The Acquiror shall, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable Law or its Organizational Documents, indemnify and hold harmless,
each present and former director, officer or employee of the Acquiror or any

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (y) otherwise with respect to any
acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date, to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware law for a period of six years after the Closing
Date. In the event of any such Proceeding (whether arising before or after the
Closing Date), (i) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties for any
period after the Closing Date shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiror,
(ii) after the Closing Date, the Acquiror shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received,
provided that the Indemnified Parties shall be required to reimburse the
Acquiror for such payments in the circumstances and to the extent required by
the Acquiror's Organizational Documents, any applicable contract or agreement or
applicable Law, and (iii) the Acquiror shall cooperate in the defense of any
such matter; provided, however, that the Acquiror shall not be liable for any
settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that, in the event that any claim
or claims for indemnification are asserted or made within such six-year period,
all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall
continue until the disposition of any and all such claims. The Indemnified
Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them in each
applicable jurisdiction with respect to any single action unless there is, under
applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant
issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties, in which
case each Indemnified Party with respect to whom such a conflict exists (or
group of such Indemnified Parties who among them have no such conflict) may
retain one separate law firm in each applicable jurisdiction.

8.5.3. The Acquiror shall honor and fulfill in all respects its
obligations pursuant to any indemnification agreements and employment agreements
(the parties under such agreements being referred to as the "Covered Persons")
with the Acquiror's directors and officers existing at or before the Closing

provide, for a period of not less than six years after the Closing Date, the
Acquiror's current directors and officers with an insurance and indemnification
policy that provides sufficient coverage, as determined in good faith by a
majority of those Persons who were directors of Acquiror on the date of this

at the Closing, be terminated:

11.1.1. by mutual consent of the Acquiror and the Company;

11.1.2. by the Acquiror, if any of the conditions in Section 9 have
not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition
is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of the Acquiror to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and the Acquiror has not
waived such condition on or before the Closing Date; or (ii) by the Company, if
any of the conditions in Section 10 have not been satisfied as of the Closing
Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than
through the failure of the Company or any Shareholder to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement) and the Company has not waived such condition
on or before the Closing Date;

11.1.3. by the Acquiror or the Company, if the Closing has not
occurred other than due to the failure of the Acquiror (in the event the
Acquiror seeks to terminate this Agreement) or other than due to the failure of
the Company or any Shareholder (in the case the Company seeks to terminate this
Agreement) 60 days after the final mailing of the Acquiror Proxy to the
stockholders of the Acquiror (or such later date as the parties may agree upon,
the "Outside Date");

11.1.4. by either the Acquiror or the Company, if there shall have
been entered a final, nonappealable order or injunction of any Governmental
Authority restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby;

11.1.5. by the Acquiror, if, prior to the Closing Date, the Company
or any Shareholder is in material breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement herein contained and such breach shall not be cured within
10 days of the date of notice of default served by the Acquiror claiming such
breach; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 11.1.5 shall not be available to the Acquiror if the Acquiror is
in material breach of this Agreement at the time notice of termination is
delivered;

11.1.6. by the Company, if, prior to the Closing Date, the Acquiror
is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
herein contained and such breach shall not be cured within 10 days of the date
of notice of default served by the Company claiming such breach or, if such
breach is not curable within such 10 day period, such longer period of time as
is necessary to cure such breach; provided, however, that the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1.6 shall not be available to the
Company if the Company or any Shareholder is in material breach of this
Agreement at the time notice of termination is delivered; or

11.1.7. by the Acquiror, if, prior to the Closing Date, the Acquiror
Board approves any merger, liquidation, recapitalization, consolidation or other
business combination involving the Acquiror or the Acquiror Subsidiaries or any
capital stock or any material portion of the assets of the Acquiror or any
Acquiror Subsidiary, or any combination of the foregoing (an "Acquisition
Transaction"); provided that a majority of the members of the Acquiror Board
have determined in good faith and on reasonable basis, after consultation with
outside counsel and advisors, that (i) such Acquisition Transaction is more
favorable from a financial point of view to the Acquiror's stockholders than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) failure to take such action
would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Acquiror Board under
applicable Law.

11.2. Effect of Termination. Each party's right of termination under
Section 11.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement
or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election
of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, all
further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except
that the obligations in Sections 5.12, 6.11, 11.2, and 13 will survive;
provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of
the breach of the Agreement by another party or because one or more of the
conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not
satisfied as a result of another party's failure to comply with its obligations
under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies
will survive such termination unimpaired.

12.1. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and
obligations in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and expire thirty (30)
days from the date on which the audited financial statements of the Acquiror for
its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 shall have been filed as part of the
Acquiror's Annual Report on Form 10-K, but in no event earlier than April 30,
2005 (the "Survival Period"). The right to indemnification, payment of Damages
or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and
obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether
before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing
Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such
representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition
based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance
of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to
indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such
representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

court of competent jurisdiction renders a final unappealable decision (or
appeals of a decision are not taken within the time period permitted for filing
same) (the "Claims Period"), the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Acquiror from and against any liabilities, loss, claims, damages (excluding
consequential, punitive and

other similar damages), fines, penalties, expenses (including costs of
investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees) or diminution of value
(collectively, "Damages") arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection
with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any breach by the Company of its covenants or obligations
in this Agreement; or

(c) any breach by the Acquiror of any covenants or
obligations in this Agreement required to be performed by the Acquiror
from and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the
covenants set forth in Sections 8.6 and 8.7.

12.2.2. The amount of any and all Damages suffered by the Acquiror
shall be recovered by the return to the Acquiror of a specified number of
Acquiror Shares by the Shareholders (the "Returned Shares"), the amount of which
shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.4 below. All Returned Shares
shall be retired.

12.2.3. Any claims of the Acquiror pursuant to this Section 12.2 may
be brought on behalf of the Acquiror by those Persons who were stockholders of
the Acquiror immediately prior to the Closing.

12.3.1. From and after the Closing until the expiration of the Claims
Period, the Acquiror shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the

any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Acquiror in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Acquiror
pursuant to this Agreement; or

(b) any breach by the Acquiror of any covenant or obligation
of the Acquiror in this Agreement required to be performed by the Acquiror
on or prior to the Closing Date.

12.3.2. The amount of any and all Damages suffered by a Company
Indemnified Party shall be recovered by the issuance to the Shareholders of a
specified number of additional shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the "Additional
Shares"), the amount of which shall be determined in accordance with Section
12.5 below.

12.4. Return of Returned Shares. The number of Returned Shares to be
