Dispute Notice within the ten (10) day time period set forth in this subsection, the Earn-Out Payment Calculation shall be deemed final and conclusive. In the event that C-COR does deliver an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, Buyer shall pay to C-COR on or before ten (10) days following the resolution of the Earn-Out Dispute, the Earn-Out Payment agreed to by the parties or specified by the arbitrators, as applicable.

In the event C-COR in good faith disputes the amount of the recalculated Earnout Payment set forth in the Recalculation Report, then C-COR shall deliver a written notice of dispute to Buyer setting forth in detail the nature of the dispute within ten (10) days after receipt of the Recalculation Report. If C-COR sends such a notice, then C-COR and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice. During such thirty (30) day period, C-COR shall (on a confidential basis) have access to a copy of the records of Buyer necessary to verify the Earn-Out Payment Calculation. Buyer shall provide such copy within five (5) business days after receiving a request from C-COR. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, then they shall submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to provisions of Section 7.6. In the event that C-COR fails to deliver such notice within the ten (10) day time period set forth in this subsection, the recalculation of the Earnout Payment amount set forth in the Recalculation Report shall be deemed final and conclusive. In the event that C-COR does deliver such a notice, C-COR shall pay to Buyer on or before ten (10) days following the resolution of such dispute, the amount agreed to by the parties or specified by the arbitrators, as applicable. In the event that C-COR does not deliver a notice described in this subsection, C-COR shall pay to Buyer on or before thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Recalculation Report, the amount reflected therein.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payment of the Earnout Payment and of the Initial Payment Amount Installments shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3(c).

(i) If, as of the applicable date a payment of Earnout Payment or of the Initial Payment Amount Installment is due and payable (each, a “Payment Due Date”), Buyer has not been fully repaid for the amount of Losses (as defined in Section 7.2(a)) for which Seller shall have been finally determined to be obligated to indemnify the Buyer pursuant to Article VII hereof, then the Buyer shall have the right to set-off the amount of such unpaid Losses from any payment of the Earnout Payment or the Initial Payment Amount Installment. In the event that, on or before an applicable Payment Due Date, the Buyer shall have delivered to Seller one or more Claim Notices (as defined in Section 7.3(a)) with respect to any claims for indemnification pursuant to Article VII hereof that have not been fully resolved as of such Payment Due Date, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain some or all of the applicable Earnout Payment or the Initial Payment Amount Installment then due (in an amount not to exceed the aggregate Claimed Amount (as defined in Section 7.3(a)) specified in such unresolved Claim Notice(s)) until such matters have been fully resolved in accordance with Article VII hereof.

Seller shall have ten (10) days to deliver such missing capital equipment to Buyer. If Seller fails to deliver the missing capital equipment within such ten (10) day period, then Buyer shall have the right to set-off (on a dollar-for-dollar basis) against any payment of the Earnout Payment or Initial Payment Amount Installments, the total amount of the replacement cost to Buyer of any such capital equipment.

If any of the Material Consents or Nonmaterial Consents have not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing, in the case of each Seller Contract as to which such Material Consents or Nonmaterial Consents were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) (the “Restricted Contracts”), Buyer (in its sole discretion) may waive the closing conditions as to any such Material Consent or Nonmaterial Consents and either:

(i) elect to have Seller continue its efforts to obtain the Material Consents and Nonmaterial Consents; or

(ii) elect to have Seller retain that Restricted Contract and all Liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.

(b) If Buyer elects to have Seller continue its efforts to obtain any Material Consents and the Closing occurs, notwithstanding Sections 2.1 and 2.4, neither this Agreement nor the Assignment Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the Transactions shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the Restricted Contracts, and following the Closing, the parties shall use their best efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain the Material Consent relating to each Restricted Contract requiring Material Consent, and at Buyer’s request the Nonmaterial Consent to each Restricted Contract requiring a Nonmaterial Consent, as quickly as practicable. Pending the obtaining of such Material Consents or

Nonmaterial Consent (as the case may be) relating to any Restricted Contract, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use as well as all obligations of the Restricted Contract for its term (or any right or benefit or obligation arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereunder). Once a Material Consent or Nonmaterial Consent (as the case may be) for the sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance and delivery of a Restricted Contract is obtained, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Contract to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Contract assigned to Buyer from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to a special-purpose assignment agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assignment Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer).

(f) Neither Seller nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, any other Person, is in material breach of or default under any Intellectual Property License or any other Contract or Law relating to the Owned Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property. Each Intellectual Property License to which Seller is a party is now, to the Knowledge of Seller, valid and in full force and effect.

(g) The development, license, use, sale, distribution, modification and other exploitation of the Owned Intellectual Property in the Business as currently conducted does not infringe on, or otherwise violate the rights of, any other Person, or constitute an unlawful disclosure, use or misappropriation of the right or rights of any other Person. To the Knowledge of Seller, the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property does not infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any other Person or constitute an unlawful disclosure, use or misappropriation of the right or rights of any other Person.

(m) Seller has the right, which is non-terminable and not subject to expiration or revocation, to develop, license, control, regulate the use of or otherwise exploit the Owned Intellectual Property, without any valid legal or equitable claim by, or payment or other obligation owing to, or required consent from, any Person.

(n) All material Copyrights (including Copyrights in software, product schematics, and product documentation) included in the Owned Intellectual Property are either works made “for hire” as that term is used in Title 17 of the United States Code or have been assigned to Seller pursuant to valid written assignments.

5.3 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Information on Active Employees. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Active Employees” shall mean all employees employed on the Closing Date by C-COR who are primarily employed in the Business as currently conducted, including employees on temporary leave of absence, including family medical leave, military leave, temporary disability or sick leave, but excluding employees on long-term disability leave.

Buyer shall ensure that all Hired Active Employees and their dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately after the Closing Date under the group health plan or plans in which similarly situated employees of Buyer are generally eligible to participate. Buyer shall not provide financial incentives for Hired Active Employees to choose COBRA continuation coverage instead of coverage under Buyer’s own group health plan.

(d) Tax Reporting and Allocation of Consideration. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of IRS Form 8594 for timely filing in each of their respective federal income tax Returns and any applicable foreign, state or local Returns in accordance with a written statement (the “Statement of Allocation”) setting forth an allocation of the Initial Payment Amount and the liabilities assumed by Buyer under Section 2.4 among the Assets, the Non-Competition Agreement and any other tangible and intangible property of the Business conveyed under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Within 30 days of the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a proposed Statement of Allocation. If Buyer approves the Statement of Allocation on or before Closing, then, unless otherwise prohibited by law, all foreign, federal, state and local income Returns of Buyer and Seller shall be filed consistently with the allocations made pursuant to the Statement of Allocation. If Buyer does not approve the Statement of Allocation, Buyer and Seller shall make good faith efforts to agree on the allocation of the consideration after Closing. If Buyer and Seller, after good faith negotiations, cannot agree on the allocation of the consideration within 120 days following the Closing Date, then no Statement of Allocation shall be prepared, and each party shall prepare and file its Returns in accordance with its own allocations. In the event there is an increase or decrease in the consideration paid by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement (including but not limited to the payment of an Earnout Payment), Seller and Buyer shall timely file supplemental IRS Forms 8594 as and when required by the applicable Treasury Regulations, in which any increase in consideration is allocated to goodwill and any decrease in consideration is allocated in accordance with any agreement made by the parties in connection with such decrease (or, if no such agreement is reached, as each party may determine).

(e) Wage Withholding and Payroll Taxes. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that (x) Seller will be responsible for and perform all tax withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect to any wages and other compensation paid by Seller to any employees of the Product Line in connection with the operation of the Business prior to the Closing; and (y) Buyer will be responsible for and perform all tax withholding, payment and reporting duties with respect to any wages and other compensation paid by Buyer to any employees of the Product Line in connection with the operation of the Business after the Closing. Seller and Buyer agree

to follow the Standard Procedure specified in Section 4 of Rev. Proc. 96-60, 1996-2 Cum. Bull. 399, whereby, among other things, each will be responsible for the reporting duties with respect to its own wages and compensation paid to employees in connection with the operation of the Business.

5.4 Post-Closing Covenants. The parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the Closing.

(a) General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents confirming or protecting Buyer’s ownership of and right, title, and interest in the Assets, and obtaining and maintaining Intellectual Property which are a part of the Assets) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VII below).

(b) Support. In the event and for so long as any party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, audit, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving Seller, each of the other parties will cooperate with him, or it and his, hers or its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VII below).

(c) Transition. Seller will not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of Seller from maintaining the same business relationships with Buyer after the Closing as it maintained with Seller prior to the Closing. Seller will refer to Buyer all customer inquiries relating to the Business from and after the Closing. Seller shall pay all payables relating to the Business or the Assets due prior to the Closing Date in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(d) Confidentiality. After Closing, Seller will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, and shall refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement or as may be required by law, and shall deliver promptly to Buyer a copy of all Confidential Information; provided that Seller will use reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, such efforts to be not less than the efforts used by Seller to maintain the confidentiality of its own trade secret information. In the event that Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, then Seller will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.5(d). If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal; provided, however, that the

disclosing party shall use his or its best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request and expense of Buyer, an order or other assurance, to the extent practicable, that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.

(e) Taxes and Fees. Sales taxes, transfer taxes, stamp taxes, conveyance taxes, excise taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible taxes, documentary recording taxes, value added taxes, license and registration fees, and recording fees imposed by any Governmental Entity, if any, imposed upon the transfer of the Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder and the filing of any instruments (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate reasonably to minimize the amount of transfer taxes.

5.5 Excluded Orders. Seller shall purchase from Buyer the products, Inventory and other materials necessary to fulfill the Excluded Orders at the price set forth on Seller’s backlog reports delivered to Buyer. Seller shall pay Buyer for any products, Inventory and other materials within 30 days after the date on which Buyer delivers such products, Inventory or other materials to Seller. Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to collect on the receivables arising from the Excluded Orders in the Ordinary Course of Business. If a customer does not pay Seller in full on any Excluded Order within 45 days after the date on which payment is due (a “Delinquent Account”), then Seller shall notify Buyer that such Delinquent Account is overdue, which notice shall include the customer’s name, the amount of the receivable and the date on which such receivable was due. Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with Seller to assist Seller in the collection of any such Delinquent Account. In the event that Seller is not paid in full for the amount of such Delinquent Account within 180 days after the invoice date, Seller shall transfer the Delinquent Account to Buyer for collection Upon such transfer, Buyer shall remit to Seller the amount of the uncollected Delinquent Account. Seller shall fulfill such Excluded Orders in the Ordinary Course of Business. Upon fulfilling such Excluded Orders, Seller shall refer such customers to Buyer for any additional products, Inventory and other materials, or any related services, in accordance with Section 5.4(c).

5.6 Bezeq.

(a) The warranty obligations assumed by Buyer include certain warranty obligations to Bezeq, an Israeli company. In the event that Bezeq draws from the letter of credit which C-COR obtained to secure C-COR’s obligations to Bezeq (the “Bezeq LOC”), and such draw directly results from Buyer’s failure to perform the warranty obligations to Bezeq assumed by Buyer, then Buyer shall reimburse C-COR for the amount of such draw, up to a total amount of $50,000 (the “LOC Draw Cap”). C-COR shall notify Buyer in writing of the amount of such draw (the “Draw Notice”).

(b) In the event Buyer in good faith disputes the amount of the draw or that the draw directly resulted from Buyer’s failure to perform Buyer’s warranty obligations to Bezeq, then Buyer shall deliver a written notice of dispute to C-COR setting forth in detail the nature of the dispute within ten (10) days after receipt of the Draw Notice. C-COR and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Draw Notice.

During such thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall (on a confidential basis) have access to a copy of the records of C-COR necessary to verify the amount and cause of the draw on the Bezeq LOC. C-COR shall provide such copies within five (5) business days after receiving a request from Buyer. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, then they shall submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to provisions of Section 7.6. In the event that Buyer fails to deliver such notice within the ten (10) day time period set forth in this Section 5.6(b), then the amount Buyer owes to C-CORas set forth in the Draw Notice shall be deemed final and conclusive and Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount set forth in the Draw Notice (up to a total maximum amount of the LOC Draw Cap) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draw Notice. In the event that Buyer does deliver a notice of dispute, Buyer shall pay to C-COR on or before ten (10) days following the resolution of the dispute, the amount agreed to by the parties or specified by the arbitrators, as applicable; provided that such amount shall not exceed the LOC Draw Cap. In no event shall Buyer’s total liability to C-COR pursuant to the Bezeq LOC exceed the LOC Draw Cap.

(c) Buyer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to have the Bezeq LOC terminated, but Buyer’s failure to do so shall not impart any liability on Buyer.

5.7 MPI Commitments.

(a) Buyer or a party designated by Buyer shall purchase from Seller the parts used in the Product Line that Seller re-purchased from MPI at the prices shown on Schedule 5.7 prior to purchasing such parts from any third party.

(b) All Buyer test equipment located at MPI shall be shared with Seller and Seller and Buyer shall share the cost of maintenance and repair of such equipment.

(a) The Indemnified Parties shall promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Parties of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Parties, stating in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known (the “Claimed Amount”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Parties in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

7.4 Treatment of Indemnification Payments; Loss Determination.

(a) All payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any claim pursuant to Section 7.2, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

If the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Floor Amount in the aggregate, then Seller shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the entire amount of such Damages (including the Floor Amount), up to the Cap Amount.

(d) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or willful misconduct, the rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Persons with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement.

7.6 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, which the parties are unable to resolve through negotiation, the party asserting such claim or breach shall give written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to each other party setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such claim or alleged breach. All claims pertaining to such dispute (excepting herefrom any action for equitable relief with respect thereto) if not otherwise resolved by the parties shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator selected by the parties in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration

Association. If the parties fail to agree upon an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Dispute Notice, then Seller and Buyer, shall each select an arbitrator within the following ten (10) days, the two arbitrators selected by the parties shall select a third arbitrator within twenty (20) days, and all three arbitrators shall arbitrate the controversy or claim. No arbitrator shall be affiliated with Seller or Buyer. The results of the arbitration shall be final binding upon the parties and not subject to appeal.

To the extent that the parties cannot agree on any aspect of the scope or scheduling of discovery, the arbitration panel shall determine such scope and schedule. In determining the scope and scheduling of discovery, the arbitration panel shall be guided by (i) the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and (ii) the interest of the parties in obtaining an expeditious resolution of any dispute that is the subject of the arbitration proceeding. The arbitration panel has the discretion to determine the appropriate scope and schedule of discovery and the factors referred to in the previous sentence are intended to serve as guidance and not as absolute rules.

8.7 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by Seller and Buyer. Only by a writing Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, may waive compliance by Buyer or Seller, respectively, with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform.

8.8 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State.
