"Closing Date Net Asset Amount" shall mean the amount of Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date that constitute current assets determined in accordance with GAAP minus the amount of Assumed Liabilities (excluding Deferred Revenues) as of the Closing Date determined in accordance with GAAP, in each case without giving effect to any rejection of any Lease Agreements in the Bankruptcy Case.

The Objection shall specify those items and amounts as to which the Stockholder proposes changes, including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which the Stockholder proposes such changes, and the Stockholder and the Company shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement.

(c) If an Objection shall be timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b), the Purchaser shall then have 20 days from the date of receipt (the "Purchaser's Review Period") to review and respond to the Objection. The Stockholder and the Purchaser agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements with respect to the determination of the Closing Date Net Asset Amount. If they are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the Closing Date Net Asset Amount within 30 days following the expiration of the Purchaser's Review Period, they may refer, at the option of either party, their remaining differences to Deloitte & Touche L.L.P., or if Deloitte & Touche L.L.P. shall decline to accept such engagement, an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected jointly by the Stockholder and the Purchaser and who has no material financial relationship with either, who shall determine solely with respect to the differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the amount of the Closing Date Net Asset Amount set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment. If the Stockholder and the Purchaser are unable to so select independent public accountants within 10 Business Days of Deloitte & Touche L.L.P. declining to accept such engagement, either the Stockholder or the Purchaser may thereafter request that the American Arbitration Association make such selection (as applicable, Deloitte & Touche L.L.P., the firm selected by the Stockholder and the Purchaser or the firm selected by the American Arbitration Association is referred to as the "CPA Firm"). The Stockholder and the Purchaser shall direct the CPA Firm (i) that it shall not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Stockholder or the Purchaser or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by the Stockholder or the Purchaser, in each case as presented to the CPA Firm, and (ii) to use its best efforts to render its determination within 30 days. The CPA Firm's determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Stockholder, the Company and the Purchaser. The fees and

disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be shared equally by the Stockholder and the Purchaser. The Stockholder and the Purchaser shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records relating to the Closing Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be prepared based on the books and records of the Company as of the Closing Date, and the Stockholder and the Company, at no cost to the Purchaser, shall grant the Purchaser and its representatives reasonable access to all books, records, employees and facilities of the Stockholder and the Company and their independent accountants that are reasonably necessary to enable the Purchaser to prepare the Closing Statement. The Stockholder and the Company agree to cooperate, and shall not interfere, directly or indirectly, in the preparation of the Closing Statement. The Purchaser, at no cost to the Stockholder or the Company, shall give the Stockholder and the Company and their representatives reasonable access to all books, records, employees and facilities of the Purchaser and its independent accounts and shall otherwise cooperate with the Stockholder and the Company to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of reviewing, verifying and auditing the Closing Statement.

(e) If the Final Net Assets Amount is less than $28.670 million, then the Stockholder or the Company shall, within two Business Days following the determination of the Final Net Assets Amount, pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to such deficiency plus interest thereon calculated in accordance with Section 2.4(f), and if the Final Net Assets Amount is greater than $28.670 million, then the Purchaser shall, within such two Business Days following the determination of the Final Net Assets Amount, pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to such difference plus interest thereon calculated in accordance with Section 2.4(f). The "Final Net Asset Amount" means the Closing Date Net Asset Amount (i) as shown in the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.4(a) if no Objection is timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b), or (ii) if an Objection is timely delivered, as determined by the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c).

(f) The amount payable by the Stockholder or the Company to the Purchaser or from the Purchaser to the Company, as the case may be, under Section 2.4(e) shall be paid when due under Section 2.4(e) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated not less than one Business Day before such payment is due by the Purchaser or the Stockholder, as the case may be. At the option of the Purchaser, any amounts due to the Purchaser may be paid from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum (based on a 365-day year) equal to the Specified Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Stockholder or the Company on the one hand, nor the Purchaser on the other hand, shall be required to pay any amount under Section 2.4(e) unless the amount due exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and thereafter shall be required to pay only the amount in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

2.5 Alternative Transaction Provisions.

($370,000,000) (the "Upset Price") and that each incremental bid from any Person other than the Purchaser after the initial Qualified Bid equal to the Upset Price shall be at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) more than each prior bid.

(b) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) The Stockholder and the Company may, upon approval of the Bid Procedures Motion and entry of the Bid Procedures Order by the Bankruptcy Court, in connection with obtaining the Sale Order, solicit bids for Acquisition Proposals in accordance with the terms of the Bid Procedures Order; and

(ii) such solicitation is not a breach of this Agreement.

(c) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, the Stockholder agrees that it will not, and will not authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or its Subsidiaries' directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (including investment bankers, attorneys and accountants) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries regarding or the making or implementation of any Competing Proposal, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person relating to or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any Competing Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend any Competing Proposal or (iv) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding that contemplates or relates to any Competing Proposal, requires the Stockholder or any of its Subsidiaries to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Acquisition or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or impairs the Stockholder's or any of its Subsidiaries' ability to consummate the Acquisition; provided, however, that after the entry of the Bid Procedures Order by the Bankruptcy Court, the Stockholder and other referenced persons shall be entitled to take any of the actions referenced in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

2.6 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Not later than 60 days after the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Stockholder for its review and comment an allocation of the total purchase price pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder and, to the extent that the Purchase Price Allocation addresses such issues, for all other Tax purposes, including transfer Taxes ("Purchase Price Allocation"). The Stockholder may, within 20 days after receipt of the Purchase Price Allocation, deliver a notice to the Purchaser setting forth any changes requested by the Stockholder ("Change Notice"). If the Purchaser does not receive such a Change Notice within the 20-day period, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be final and binding on the Purchaser and the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries. If the Stockholder provides such a Change Notice within the 20-day period, the Purchaser and the Stockholder shall work in good faith to resolve any differences described in the Change Notice. If the Purchaser and the Stockholder have not been able to resolve such differences within 20 days after receipt of the Change Notice, the matter shall be referred to Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P., or if Deloitte & Touche L.L.P. shall decline to accept such engagement, to another internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected jointly by the Stockholder and the Purchaser and which has no material financial relationship with either the Stockholder or the Purchaser (Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P. or such other firm referred to as the "CPA Mediator"). Within 30 days after the date of such referral, the CPA Mediator shall render its decision with respect to the differences, and the Purchase Price Allocation, as so determined, shall be final and binding on the Purchaser and the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The fees and disbursements of any CPA Mediator shall be shared equally by the Stockholder and the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Stockholder agree to use the Purchase

Price Allocation (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6) in filing all required forms under Section 1060 of the Code, and all other Tax Returns, and the Purchaser and the Stockholder further agree that they shall not take any position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation upon any examination of any such Tax Return, in any refund claim or in any Tax litigation.

Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, the Acquisition Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or Laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) There are no outstanding securities, options, warrants or rights of conversion or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or obligating the Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to grant, issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be granted, issued, delivered or sold, any shares of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, by sale, lease, license or otherwise.

At the request of any party hereto and without further consideration, any other party will execute and deliver, and will cause their applicable direct and indirect Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to the requesting party and/or their direct and indirect Subsidiaries, all instruments, assumptions, novations, undertakings, substitutions or other documents and take such other action as the requesting party may reasonably request in order to evidence to Third Parties, and to effect completely, the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.9 Employee and Benefit Matters.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, but effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or the Purchaser shall cause an Affiliate of the Purchaser to, make offers of employment to those individuals employed by the Stockholder or an Affiliate of the Stockholder who are (x) familiar with, and who have devoted the majority of their time in the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement (or, if shorter, during the period of their employment with the Stockholder and its Affiliates) to working in connection with, the Business or products of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) selected by the Purchaser in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Stockholder within 30 days after the date hereof. In addition, on or before the Closing Date, but effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or the Purchaser shall cause an Affiliate of the Purchaser to, make offers of employment to all domestic and foreign employees of the Stockholder and its Subsidiaries that have been dedicated to the Business during the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement (or such shorter period during which such employee has been employed) and identified in writing as such by the Stockholder to the Purchaser within 20 days after the date hereof. The terms and conditions of each such offer of employment shall be on the terms and conditions determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion; provided, that, each offer to an employee shall include an offer to provide such employee with (x) base pay that is equal to or higher than such employee's base pay as of the date hereof and (y) other employee benefits substantially comparable in the aggregate to such employee's employee benefits as of the date hereof or substantially comparable in the aggregate to employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries. As used in this Agreement, the term "Continuing Employee" means each individual employed by the Stockholder, the Company or their respective Affiliates who accepts the Purchaser's offer of employment effective as of the Closing Date as provided in this Section 6.9(a).

(b) The Stockholder and the Company (i) shall take any necessary action to fully vest as of the Closing Date all Continuing Employees' account balances and other accrued benefits under all Stockholder Plans that are intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code, (ii) shall take such actions, if any, as may be necessary to provide for the immediate distribution after the Closing Date to the Continuing Employees of their vested account balances and accrued benefits under any such Stockholder Plans, including the Stockholder's 401(k) Plan (the "Stockholder Savings Plan"), (iii) shall permit each Continuing Employee to elect on the Closing Date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) a direct rollover of his or her rolloverable account balance under the Stockholder Savings Plan to a defined contribution plan designated by the Purchaser (the "Purchaser Savings Plan"), and (iv) shall cause the Stockholder Savings Plan to deliver to the Purchaser Savings Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date the promissory notes and other loan documentation, if any, of the Continuing Employees who have elected such a direct rollover in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Stockholder. The Stockholder and the Company shall also take such actions, if any, as are necessary to permit the continuation of loan repayments by Continuing Employees to the Stockholder Savings Plan during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending 90 calendar days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that if a Continuing Employee makes a direct rollover election as described in this paragraph within such 90-day period, then the Stockholder Savings Plan shall continue to accept loan repayments from such Continuing Employee until the date of such direct

rollover. The Purchaser Savings Plan shall accept the direct rollover of electing Continuing Employees' benefits in cash and, if applicable, promissory notes that are not accelerated from the Stockholder Savings Plan. The Stockholder and the Company represent, covenant and agree with respect to the Stockholder Savings Plan, and the Purchaser represents, covenants and agrees with respect to the Purchaser Savings Plan, that, as of each date of a rollover described in this paragraph, such plan (i) is intended to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a), (k), and (m) of the Code and (ii) will have received, or a pending application will have been timely filed for, a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding such qualified status and covering amendments required to have been adopted prior to the expiration of the GUST remedial amendment period.

(c) Claims of Continuing Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for medical, dental, prescription drug, life insurance, and/or other welfare benefits ("Welfare Benefits") (other than disability benefits) that are incurred before the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the Stockholder, the Company and the Stockholder Plans. Claims of Continuing Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for Welfare Benefits (other than disability benefits) that are incurred on or after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. For purposes of the preceding provisions of this paragraph, a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred on the date when the medical/dental services are rendered or medical/dental supplies are provided, and not when the condition arose or when the course of treatment began; provided, however, that claims relating to a hospital confinement that begins prior to the Closing Date but continues on the Closing Date or thereafter shall be treated as incurred before the Closing Date. Claims of Continuing Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for short-term or long-term disability benefits that arise out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the Stockholder, the Company and the Stockholder Plans. Claims of Continuing Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for short-term or long-term disability benefits that arise out of occurrences on or after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser.

(d) The Stockholder or an Affiliate of the Stockholder shall provide COBRA continuation coverage (within the meaning of Section 4980B of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder) to all individuals who are M & A qualified beneficiaries (within the meaning assigned to such term under Q&A-4 of Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the duration of the period to which such individuals are entitled to such coverage. The Stockholder and the Company shall take any and all necessary actions to ensure that none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates are required to provide such continuation coverage to any such individual at any time.

6.10 Financial Statements.

(a) The Stockholder shall deliver, as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the earlier to occur of (i) five Business Days prior to the Closing Date or (ii) October 31, 2002, to the Purchaser true and complete copies of an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of June 30, 2002 and a consolidated statement of revenue of the Business for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, which shall be accompanied by a report of the Stockholder's independent public accountants based upon the agreed procedures set forth in Exhibit F, shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and shall fairly present the consolidated financial position and consolidated revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2002.

(b) The Stockholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than 60 days following the Closing Date, to the Purchaser true and complete copies of a consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of March 31, 2002 and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the twelve months then ended (including the notes or other supplementary information thereto), which financial statements shall have been audited and accompanied by the signed audit report of the Company's independent public accountants and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses relating to the audit required by this Section 6.10(b). The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Stockholder and its independent public accountants in their efforts to prepare the financial statements required by this Section 6.10(b).

6.11 Maintenance and Enforcement of Insurance Policies.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement (through the Closing Date), the Stockholder shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, take or fail to take any action if such action or inaction, as the case may be, would adversely affect the applicability of any insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement that covers all or any part of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities (the "Applicable Insurance").

(b) The Stockholder agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, all proceeds from claims made on or before the Closing Date under the Applicable Insurance directly or indirectly applicable to the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing Date and in any manner requested by the Purchaser, the Stockholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Applicable Insurance policies and arrangements are modified, amended or assigned so that the Purchaser is a direct beneficiary of such Applicable Insurance with all rights to enforce, obtain the benefit of and take all other action in respect of such Applicable Insurance; provided, that if the modifications, amendments or assignments contemplated by this Section 6.11 are not permissible, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (x) make any claim against the Applicable Insurance reasonably requested by the Purchaser, (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect any proceeds payable under the Applicable Insurance and (z) deliver any such proceeds received by the Stockholder or its Subsidiaries to the Purchaser.

6.12 Name Change. From and after the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date), the Stockholder and all of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall cease to use for any purpose any name, mark, logo, trade name or trademark that includes or incorporates "Remedy" or any confusingly similar words or phrases and shall either liquidate or change its name so as not to include any such words or phrases.

6.13 Bankruptcy Release. Except for rights granted under and claims pursuant to any of the Acquisition Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement between the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries on the one hand and the Stockholder or its Subsidiaries on the other hand, the Stockholder, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (the "Releasing Parties"), effective as of the Closing, hereby releases, acquits, and forever discharges the Purchaser, the Company and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and each of their respective present or former representatives, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (including any present or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries), and their successors and assigns (the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, causes of action, demands, costs, debts, damages, obligations and liabilities, whether known or unknown, which the Releasing Parties have or may come to have against the Released Parties, whether directly, indirectly or derivatively, including, but not limited to, negligence or gross negligence, in connection with or related to their ownership or operation of the Business, provided that this release shall not release any officers, directors, employees or agents for any gross negligence, willful misconduct, theft, conversion or other criminal acts to which the Stockholder had no knowledge as of the Closing (the "Released Claims"). The Releasing Parties covenant not to sue the Released Parties on account of any Released Claim. The Sale Order shall provide that (i) the release of the Released Claims shall be final upon entry of the Sale Order and such release shall forever release, discharge and expunge such Released Claims, (ii) no order shall be entered in the bankruptcy case which in any way waives, limits or modifies the release or any rights of the Released Parties under the release or this agreement, (iii) the release shall survive any dismissal of the bankruptcy case.

6.14 Stock Purchases. Notwithstanding any provision of any Acquisition Document to the contrary, the Purchaser may elect, by written notice to the Stockholder not later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to acquire the stock or other equity interests of any of the Company's

Subsidiaries in lieu of purchasing the assets and assuming the liabilities of such Subsidiary. In the event of such an election, the Purchaser, the Stockholder and the Company will work in good faith to modify any Acquisition Document as necessary to implement the Purchaser's election in a manner consistent with the intentions of the parties to this Agreement as reflected in the Acquisition Document.

6.15 Assistance in Retained Contracts. The Stockholder and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in any lawful and reasonable arrangement proposed by Purchaser under which Purchaser shall obtain the economic benefits under a Retained Contract with respect to which consent has not been obtained. Such reasonable arrangement may include if lawful (i) the subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Purchaser of any and all rights of the Sellers against the other party to such Retained Contract, and (ii) the enforcement by the Sellers of such rights.

ARTICLE VIII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Stockholder, the Company and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documents delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing, provided, however, that all of the representations and warranties of the Stockholder, the Company and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documents delivered pursuant hereto shall terminate on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and shall be of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence if notice of the inaccuracy of such representation or warranty giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. After the Closing and except as provided in Section 11.14, indemnification pursuant to this

Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documents delivered pursuant hereto, except with respect to actual fraud committed by a party hereto.

8.2 Indemnification by the Stockholder and the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Stockholder and the Company hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlled and controlling persons (collectively, "Purchaser Affiliates"), from and against all claims, causes of action, demands, lawsuits, suits, proceedings, governmental investigations or audits and administrative orders ("Claims") and debts, liabilities, obligations, losses, including diminution of value, damages, costs and expenses, whether actual, consequential or punitive, interest (including, without limitation, prejudgment interest), penalties, reasonable legal fees, disbursements and costs of investigations, deficiencies, levies, duties and imposts ("Damages") asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any such person, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (i) the inaccuracy or breach as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of the Stockholder or the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documents delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Stockholder or the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any Excluded Liability.

8.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder and the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners and controlled and controlling persons, from and against all Damages and Claims asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any such person, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of or resulting from (i) the inaccuracy or breach as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documents delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any Assumed Liability.

8.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other party under this Article VIII with respect to Claims or Damages relating to or arising from Third Parties (a "Third Party Claim"), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The party or parties to be indemnified hereunder (whether one or more, the "Indemnified Party") will give the other party or parties (whether one or more, the "Indemnifying Party") prompt written notice of any such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense thereof by representatives chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party upon written notice to the Indemnified Party provided within 20 days of receiving notice of such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires); provided, that the Indemnifying Party agrees to accept and pay such claim for indemnification associated with such Third Party Claim, subject to the limits set forth in Section 8.6(a) or 8.6(b) as the case may be. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party, within 20 days after notice of any such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice to the Indemnifying

Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary (i) if there is a reasonable possibility, in the Indemnified Party's opinion, that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments or that Damages from such Third Party Claim may exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund remaining available after taking into account all Claims made to such time or the cap on indemnity set forth in Section 8.6(b) remaining available after taking into account all Claims made to such time, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim (provided that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or consent to any judgment without first obtaining the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

8.5 Other Claims, Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Claim or Damages, other than a Third Party Claim, for which indemnification is believed to be due under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall provide notice of such Claim or Damages to the Indemnifying Party, stating the circumstances giving rise to the Claim or Damages, specifying the amount of the Claim or Damages and making a request for any payment then believed due. Any such claim for indemnification shall be conclusive against the Indemnifying Party in all respects 20 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, unless within such period (i) the Indemnifying Party sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing the propriety of such claim and (ii) in the case of any claim for indemnification asserted pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, the Stockholder sends the Escrow Agent a notice disputing the propriety of such claim. Such notice of dispute shall describe the basis for such objection and the amount of the claim as to which the Indemnifying Party does not believe should be subject to indemnification. Upon receipt of any such notice of objection, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within the next 30 days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to commence legal proceedings with respect to such Claim or Damages. Subject to Section 8.6, if it is finally determined by non-appealable judgment of the applicable governing authority that all or a portion of such claim amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment of such amount in cash within two Business Days of such judgment, together with interest from the date that the Indemnified Party initially requested such payment until the date of actual payment, at the Specified Rate.

8.6 Satisfaction of Claims from the Escrow Fund; Limit on Claims.

(a) After the Closing, any obligations and liabilities of the Stockholder or the Company to the Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliate pursuant to Sections 8.2(i) or (ii) of this Agreement (except for any claims for failure to pay pursuant to Section 2.4), including any costs or expenses incurred by the Stockholder or the Company in defending any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.4, shall be satisfied solely from payments of amounts from the Escrow Fund to the Purchaser or such Purchaser Affiliate. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if the Stockholder or the Company is determined to owe an amount pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8.5 with respect to a claim made pursuant to Sections 8.2(i) or (ii) (except for any claims for failure to pay pursuant to Section 2.4), then the amount due the Indemnified Party

hereunder shall be satisfied by the delivery to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Escrow Agreement of an amount from the Escrow Fund equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the claim to be satisfied and (ii) the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund, and the claim shall be deemed paid and satisfied upon receipt by the Indemnified Party of such amount from the Escrow Fund.

(b) After the Closing, the Purchaser's aggregate obligations and liabilities to the Stockholder or the Company or any Affiliate of the Stockholder or the Company pursuant to Sections 8.3(i) or (ii) of this Agreement shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) except for any claims made for failure to pay pursuant to Section 2.4.

8.7 Deductible. No indemnification for any Damages asserted against the Stockholder or the Purchaser, as the case may be, under Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.3(i) shall be required unless and until the cumulative amount of such Damages exceeds $1,000,000 to such party, at which point the Stockholder or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party only as to the amount of such Damages in excess of $1,000,000 (the "Deductible").

ARTICLE IX

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), (x) upon any termination pursuant to Sections 10.1(c), (f), (h)(i), (h)(ii), (h)(viii) or (h)(ix), the Stockholder or the Company will within three Business Days following notice of such termination pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser the Break-Up Fee or (y) upon any other termination (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(g)), (A) the Stockholder or the Company will, in the case of termination by the Purchaser, within three Business Days following notice of such termination or, in the case of termination by the Stockholder or the Company, prior to such termination, pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser $3,000,000 (the "Expense Payment") as payment in full of the Purchaser's costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) if within 12 months after the date of such termination the Stockholder or the Company consummates a transaction that constitutes a Competing Proposal, the Stockholder or the Company will, prior to the consummation of such transaction, pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser the Break-Up Fee less the Expense Amount, to the extent previously paid. If the Stockholder or the Company shall fail to pay the Break-Up Fee or the Expense Payment due hereunder, the Stockholder or the Company shall pay the costs and expenses of the Purchaser in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal Action, taken to collect payment, together with interest on the amount unpaid at the Specified Rate from the date such amounts were required to be paid until payment in full. The Stockholder and the Company shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of any Break-Up Fee or the Expense Payment and other amounts due under this Section 10.1(b). The Stockholder and the Company agree and acknowledge that the provisions in this Agreement for the payments contemplated by this Section 10.2(b) and the procedures embodied in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof were material inducements for, and conditions, of the Purchaser's entry into this Agreement. The Stockholder and the Company agree and acknowledge that the Purchaser has, in reliance on the availability of the payment, reimbursement and procedures set forth in this Agreement, researched the value of the Purchased Assets, has expended and will expend substantial resources and funds in connection with a purchase of the Purchased Assets, and is willing to enter into the Financing Agreement and to serve as a "stalking horse" in connection with the proposed sale of the Purchased Assets or the Business for purposes of promoting competitive bidding that otherwise would not have been made. The Stockholder and the Company acknowledge that the Purchaser has, by submitting the bid embodied in this Agreement, provided a benefit to the Stockholder's and the Company's estate by increasing the likelihood that the price at which the Purchased Assets or the Business is sold or

otherwise disposed will reflect their true worth and that absent authorization of the payments contemplated by this Section 10.2(b), the Stockholder and the Company may lose the opportunity to obtain the highest and best available offer in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Business.

(c) The Purchaser's right to payment of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Payment and costs and expenses described in Section 10.2(b) shall have priority administrative claim status in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be deemed to be an authorized draw under the Financing Agreement and the Purchaser shall be afforded all protection thereunder.

10.3 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance by any other party hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.

b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(a), (x)(A) upon any termination pursuant to Section 10.1(f) as a result of any knowing misrepresentation by the Stockholder or the Company or any willful breach or non-performance by the Stockholder or the Company of any of its covenants, representations, warranties, conditions or agreements under this Agreement, the Stockholder or the Company will within three Business Days following notice of such termination pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser $7,500,000 (the "Breach Payment"), or (B) upon any other termination of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(g)), the Stockholder or the Company will, in the case of termination by the Purchaser, within three Business Days following notice of such termination or, in the case of termination by the Stockholder or the Company, prior to such termination, pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser on account of all of the Purchaser's costs and expenses $4,200,000.00 or if the Purchaser's actual costs and expenses shall exceed such amount, the actual amount of such costs and expenses up to $6,000,000.00 (the "Expense Payment") and (y) if within eight months after the date of any termination of this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(g)), the Stockholder or the Company consummates a transaction that constitutes a Competing Proposal, the Stockholder or the Company will, prior to the consummation of such transaction, pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser the Break-Up Fee less the Breach Payment or the Expense Payment in each case to the extent previously paid. The Purchaser shall not be permitted to credit bid the Break-Up Fee. However, if, at the auction of the assets provided for in the Bid Procedures Order, the Purchaser is the Successful Bidder (as such term is defined in the Bid Procedures Order) and another Qualified Bid (as such term is defined in the Bid Procedures Order) was submitted, then at the closing of the sale of such assets, the purchase price payable by the Purchaser pursuant to such Successful Bid (as such term is defined in the Bid Procedures Order) shall be reduced by $10,000,000.00 as credit for the Break-Up Fee. If the Stockholder or the Company shall fail to pay the Breach Payment, the Expense Payment or the Break-Up Fee due hereunder, the Stockholder or the Company shall pay the costs and expenses of the Purchaser in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal Action, taken to collect payment, together with interest on the amount unpaid at the Specified Rate from the date such amounts were required to be paid until payment in full. The Stockholder and the Company shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of any Breach Payment, Expense Payment or Break-Up Fee and other amounts due under this Section 10.2(b). The Stockholder and the Company agree and acknowledge that the provisions in this Agreement for the payments contemplated by this Section 10.2(b) and the procedures embodied in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof were material inducements for, and conditions, of the Purchaser's entry into this Agreement. The Stockholder and the Company agree and acknowledge that the Purchaser has, in reliance on the availability of the payment, reimbursement and procedures as set forth in this Agreement, researched the value

of the Purchased Assets, has expended and will expend substantial resources and funds in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Assets, and is willing to enter into the Financing Agreement and to serve as a "stalking horse" in connection with the proposed sale of the Purchased Assets or the Business for purposes of promoting competitive bidding that otherwise would not have been made. The Stockholder and the Company acknowledge that the Purchaser has, by submitting the bid embodied in this Agreement, provided a benefit to the Stockholder's and the Company's estate by increasing the likelihood that the price at which the Purchased Assets or the Business is sold or otherwise disposed will reflect their true worth and that absent authorization of the payments contemplated by this Section 10.2(b), the Stockholder and the Company may lose the opportunity to obtain the highest and best available offer in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Business.

(c) The Purchaser's right to payment of the Breach Payment, the Expense Payment and the Break-Up Fee and costs and expenses described in Section 10.2(b) shall have priority administrative claim status in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be deemed to be an authorized draw under the Financing Agreement and the Purchaser shall be afforded all protection thereunder.

ARTICLE II.

2.2 Headings. The headings contained in this Second Amendment are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Second Amendment.

2.3 Severability.

The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Second Amendment with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

2.4 Amendment; Entire Agreement. Whenever the Acquisition Agreement is referred to in the Original Agreement, the First Amendment or in any other agreements, documents and instruments, such reference shall be deemed to be to the Original Agreement as amended by the First Amendment and this Second Amendment.

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to this Second Amendment to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other parties to this Second Amendment for which monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the granting of equitable relief (including specific performance and injunctive relief) by any Court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any party's obligations hereunder. The parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such equitable relief and that this Section 2.8 is without prejudice to any other rights that the parties hereto may have for any failure to perform this Second Amendment.
