presented to the Exchange Agent and accompanied by all documents required to
evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock
transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this

the shares of XLI Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger,
Certificates, other than Certificates held by Dissenting Stockholders, are
presented to XLI for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as
provided in this Section 2 (Merger).

stolen or destroyed and, if required by Oak or the Exchange Agent, a bond in
such sum as Oak or the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against
any claim that may be made against Oak or the Exchange Agent with respect to the

2.6 PAYMENT OF CONTINGENT CASH.
2.6.1 TIME AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES. Within thirty (30) days after
the end of each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31,
1998 and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 2000, Pixel shall prepare
and deliver to the Stockholder Representatives a certificate calculating the
Base Amount as set forth in Section 2.4.5 (Base Amount) and the amount of
Contingent Cash as set forth in Section 2.4.4 (Contingent Cash). Subject to
Section 2.4 (Effect of Merger on Outstanding Securities) and this Section 2.6
(Payment of Contingent Cash), at such time as the amount of Contingent Cash is a
positive amount, it shall be delivered by Oak to the Escrow Agent or the
Exchange Agent, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 2.6 (Payment of
Contingent Cash). Amounts due as payments of Contingent Cash shall be net of
prior payments of Contingent Cash under this Section 2.6 (Payment of Contingent
Cash).
2.6.1.1 PAYMENT OF CONTINGENT CASH TO XLI STOCKHOLDERS. The
amount, if any, of Contingent Cash payable by Oak for any calendar quarter
ending prior to June 30, 1999 shall be delivered by Oak to the Escrow Agent as
provided in Section 2.6.1.2 (Escrow of Contingent Cash). Commencing with the
calendar quarter ending June 30, 1999, until such time as the Escrow Agreement
shall terminate in accordance with its terms, the amount, if any, of Contingent
Cash payable by Oak for a calendar quarter shall be delivered by Oak to the
Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent
Cash to XLI Stockholders), LESS any amount required to be delivered by Oak to
the Escrow Agent under Section 2.6.1.2 below (Escrow of Contingent Cash), and
LESS any amount representing shares formerly held by Dissenting Stockholders,
which amount shall be retained by Oak. Upon termination of the Escrow Agreement
in accordance with its terms, the amount, if any of Contingent Cash payable by
Oak for any calendar quarter thereafter shall be delivered by Oak to the
Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent
Cash to XLI Stockholders), LESS any amount representing shares formerly held by
Dissenting Stockholders, which amount shall be retained by Oak. Quarterly
amounts, if any, payable by Oak to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section
2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent Cash to XLI Stockholders) shall be delivered by
Oak to the Exchange Agent at least five (5) business days prior to any
distribution required to be made to the XLI Stockholders by the Exchange Agent
under this Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent Cash to XLI Stockholders),
together with written instructions regarding calculation of the amount payable
by Oak hereunder for any calendar quarter. Any such amount delivered to the
Exchange Agent by Oak hereunder, or to the Exchange Agent by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to Section 2.7 (Distributions from Escrow) and the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, shall be allocated by the Exchange Agent PRO RATA (a) to all
outstanding shares of XLI Common Stock held by XLI Stockholders at the Effective
Time (excluding any shares of XLI Common Stock into which shares of XLI
Preferred Stock were convertible at the Effective Time), (b) all shares of XLI
Preferred Stock held by XLI Stockholders at the Effective Time, on an as
converted basis, and (c) all shares of XLI Common Stock (including shares of XLI
Common Stock into which shares of XLI Preferred Stock, that were issued upon
exercise of the Underwriter's Warrant, were converted) attributable to XLI
Warrants exercised after the Effective Time and prior to the end of the calendar
quarter for which such payment is being made. Any such amount due to the XLI
Stockholders as described in the immediately preceding sentence, including,
without limitation, the Initial Distribution Amount, shall be deposited by the
Exchange Agent in the United States mail, not later than forty-five (45) days
after the close of the calendar quarter to which the distribution relates, first
class postage prepaid, to the addresses as set forth in the stock and warrant
records of XLI; provided that amount allocated to shares formerly held by
Dissenting Stockholders shall be paid to Oak. The Stockholder Representatives
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent and the Escrow
Agent, not later than one business day following the Effective Date,

and from time to time thereafter, such information as is requested by the
Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent to effect such distributions, including,
without limitation, that information which XLI is delivering to Oak pursuant to
Section 7.2.11 (XLI Stock and Share Equivalents). Any Dissenting Stockholder
that does not perfect its rights to dissent shall be paid its allowable
Contingent Cash directly by Oak.
2.6.1.2 ESCROW OF CONTINGENT CASH. Commencing with the calendar
quarter ending March 31, 1998 and terminating with the calendar quarter ending
March 31, 1999, the amount, if any, of Contingent Cash payable by Oak for a
calendar quarter shall be delivered by Oak to the Escrow Agent. Thereafter,
until such time as the Escrow Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms,
Oak shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the amount of
Contingent Cash due by Oak hereunder for any calendar quarter, multiplied by the
total number of shares of XLI Common Stock purchasable under the Private
Warrants outstanding at the end of such calendar quarter. The Contingent Cash
amount for any calendar quarter shall be delivered by Oak to the Escrow Agent
within forty-five (45) days after the end of such calendar quarter, provided,
however, that the Contingent Cash amount, if any, due for the calendar quarter
ended March 31, 1999 shall be delivered by Oak to the Escrow Agent within thirty
(30) days after the end of such calendar quarter. All such Contingent Cash
amounts shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and disbursed by the Escrow
Agent in accordance with Section 2.7 (Distributions from Escrow) and the terms
of the Escrow Agreement. Written instructions regarding calculation of the
amount, if any, payable by Oak hereunder for any calendar quarter shall be
delivered to the Escrow Agent concurrent with payment to the Escrow Agent of any
amount due hereunder. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the
Merger, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of an XLI Warrant
instructions for use in effecting the exercise of any XLI Warrant.
2.6.2 SET-OFF AND INDEMNITY HOLD BACK.
2.6.2.1 SET-OFF. In the event of any Contingent Cash Adjustment
under Section 9 (Post-Closing Adjustment), then the amounts otherwise payable
under Section 2.6.1 (Time and Payment Procedures) shall be reduced by the amount
of the Contingent Cash Adjustment until such time as the amount of the
Contingent Cash Adjustment shall have been satisfied in full.
2.6.2.2 INDEMNITY HOLD BACK. In the event that Oak or Pixel has
made a claim under Section 10 (Non-Recourse Indemnification) which has not been
liquidated or has not been agreed to by the Stockholder Representatives, then
Oak shall hold back from amounts otherwise payable under Section 2.6.1 (Time and
Payment Procedures) the amount of such claim as specified in the notice to the
Stockholder Representatives delivered by Oak or Pixel pursuant to Section 10
(Non-Recourse Indemnification) until such time as the Oak or Pixel claim is
resolved. Immediately after such resolution, any amounts payable by Oak
pursuant to Section 2.6.1 (Time and Payment Procedures) shall be paid by Oak
within thirty (30) days of such resolution, together with interest at the rate
of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date payment was otherwise due.
2.6.3 AUDIT RIGHTS. The Stockholder Representatives shall have
the right, at their sole cost and expense, to have an independent certified
public accountant conduct, during normal business hours and not more frequently
than quarterly, an audit of the calculation of Base Amount and Contingent Cash.
If such amounts are found to be different than those reported by Pixel, any
additional Contingent Cash shall be payable, together with an eight percent (8%)
per annum late payment charge, within thirty (30) days of notice of such
discrepancy from the Stockholder Representatives. If the discrepancy in
Contingent Cash to
Oak Technology, Inc.

Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger
Page 14
date reported by the Stockholder Representatives is greater than five percent
(5%) of the Contingent Cash reported to date by Pixel, then Oak will pay the
reasonable costs and expenses associated with such audit.
2.7 DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ESCROW. Distributions shall be made from the
escrow by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow
Agreement shall provide for distributions as follows:
2.7.1 INITIAL ESCROW DISTRIBUTION. Not later than fifteen (15)
calendar days following delivery to the Escrow Agent of the amount, if any, of
Contingent Cash payable by Oak for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 1999,
the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the
XLI Stockholders, all funds, if any, held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, LESS
the sum of (i) Merger Cash paid into escrow by Oak pursuant to Section 2.5.2.2
(Escrow of Merger Cash for Private Warrants) with respect to any Private Warrant
that has not been exercised prior to March 31, 1999 and has not otherwise
terminated ("UNEXPIRED PRIVATE WARRANT"), (ii) Contingent Cash paid into escrow
by Oak pursuant to Section 2.6.1.2 (Escrow of Contingent Cash) with respect to
any Unexpired Private Warrant and (iii) the net exercise price, if any, paid

(the "INITIAL DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT"). The Initial Distribution Amount shall be
allocated PRO RATA to all shares of XLI Stock outstanding prior to March 31,
1999, including shares of XLI Stock attributable to XLI Warrant exercises
occurring prior to March 31, 1999, subject to and in accordance with the

The net exercise price, if any, paid into escrow with respect to any XLI Warrant
exercised after the Effective Time, to the extent not previously delivered to
Oak, shall be delivered to Oak, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.7.4
(Allocation of XLI Warrant Exercise Amounts).
2.7.2 UPON EXERCISE OF XLI WARRANTS. Upon the exercise of any XLI
Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement, and delivery to the Exchange Agent of the exercise price per share
therefor, such XLI Warrant shall be converted into Merger Cash and a right to
receive Contingent Cash, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.4.2.2 (XLI
Warrants), this Section 2.7 (Distributions from Escrow), including, without
limitation, Section 2.7.1 (Initial Escrow Distribution), and the Escrow
Agreement. Merger Cash payable to the holder of any Private Warrant under this
Section 2.7.2 (Upon Exercise of XLI Warrants) shall be paid to the holder of
such Private Warrant from the escrow proceeds delivered by Oak to the Escrow
Agent pursuant to Section 2.5.2.2 (Escrow of Merger Cash for Private Warrants).
Merger Cash payable to the holder of any XLI Warrant, other than a Private
Warrant, under this Section 2.7.2 (Upon Exercise of XLI Warrants) shall be paid
by the Exchange Agent to the holder of such XLI Warrant from the proceeds
received by the Exchange Agent upon delivery to the Exchange Agent by the holder
of such XLI Warrant of the exercise price per share due upon exercise of the XLI
Warrant. (Net exercises of XLI Warrants, including any Private Warrants, shall
be prohibited.) Contingent Cash payable to the holder of any XLI Warrant
(including any Private Warrant) under this Section 2.7.2 (Upon Exercise of XLI
Warrants), who exercises such XLI Warrant (including any Private Warrant) prior
to March 31, 1999, shall be paid by the Escrow Agent, for the period commencing
on January 1, 1998 and ending on March 31, 1999, in accordance with the

under this Section 2.7.2 (Upon Exercise of XLI Warrants), who exercises such
Private Warrant subsequent to March 31, 1999, shall be paid to the holder of
such Private Warrant from the escrow proceeds delivered by Oak to the Escrow
Agent with respect to such Private Warrant pursuant to Section 2.6.1.2 (Escrow
of Contingent Cash) prior to exercise of such Private Warrant. Following
exercise of such Private Warrant, any Contingent Cash amount payable to the

Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger
Page 14
of such Private Warrant thereafter shall be paid to such Private Warrant holder
by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent Cash to
XLI Stockholders).
2.7.3 UPON TERMINATION OF THE ESCROW AGREEMENT. Upon termination
of the Escrow Agreement (which shall occur upon expiration or exercise of all
rights to purchase XLI Common Stock under the XLI Warrants), all funds, if any,
remaining in escrow upon termination of the Escrow Agreement, less any exercise
price amounts required to be delivered to Oak pursuant to Section 2.7.4
(Allocation of XLI Warrant Exercise Amounts), shall be paid out following the
termination of the Escrow Agreement. Such amount shall be promptly delivered by
the Escrow Agent to the Exchange Agent for distribution to the XLI Stockholders,
and shall be allocated and distributed by the Exchange Agent subject to and in
accordance with Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent Cash to XLI
Stockholders); provided, however, that such amount shall be paid out within
fifteen (15) business days following delivery of the amount to the Exchange
Agent.
2.7.4 ALLOCATION OF XLI WARRANT EXERCISE AMOUNTS. All amounts
received by the Escrow Agent or the Exchange Agent in connection with the
exercise of any XLI Warrants, net of the Merger Cash amounts payable under the
terms of the Escrow Agreement from the proceeds of any XLI Warrant exercises
other than Private Warrant exercises, shall be delivered to Oak pursuant to the
provisions of the Escrow Agreement. If, upon expiration of the term of the
Escrow Agreement, the aggregate exercise price paid to Oak in connection with
any exercise of XLI Warrants, net of amounts, if any, of Merger Cash payable
with respect to any XLI Warrant (other than a Private Warrant) upon exercise of
such XLI Warrant, exceeds the aggregate costs and expenses incurred by Oak in
connection with the Escrow Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, including all
costs and expenses that Oak reasonably expects to incur prior to and in
connection with termination of the Exchange Agreement, then the amount
representing such difference shall be promptly delivered by Oak to the Exchange
Agent for distribution to the XLI Stockholders of record at the Effective Time
(which shall include any XLI Stockholders who exercised their XLI Warrants prior
to termination of the Escrow Agreement). Any such amount due to the XLI
Stockholders shall be allocated and distributed to the XLI Stockholders subject
to and in accordance with Section 2.6.1.1 (Payment of Contingent Cash to XLI
Stockholders); provided, however, that such amount shall be paid out within
thirty (30) business days following delivery of the amount to the Exchange
Agent.

Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (ii) did not at the
time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date
of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the XLI
Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the
SEC.
4.4.2 Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in
each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the XLI SEC Reports was
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated
in the notes thereto) and each fairly presented the consolidated financial
position of XLI and the XLI Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and
the consolidated results of XLI's operations and cash flows for the periods
indicated.
4.4.3 XLI has heretofore furnished to Oak and Pixel a complete and
correct copy of any amendments or modifications, which have not yet been filed
with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to agreements, documents or
other instruments which previously had been filed by XLI with the SEC pursuant
to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
4.5 OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY.
4.5.1 Except (a) as reflected in the XLI SEC Reports or in the notes
thereto, (b) for liens for current taxes not yet delinquent, (c) for liens
imposed by law and incurred in the ordinary course of business for obligations
not yet due to carriers, warehousemen, laborers, materialmen and the like, (d)
for liens in respect of pledges or deposits under workers' compensation laws or
similar legislation, or (e) for minor defects in title, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the use of such
property, XLI owns its property free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans
and encumbrances. With respect to the property it leases, XLI is in compliance
with such leases and, to the best of its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold
interest free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, subject to clauses (b)
through (e) above.
4.5.2 All leases described in the list delivered pursuant to
Section 4.28(xii) (Additional Disclosure) are in full force and effect, and
there are no material defaults by either party thereunder. XLI owns no real
property and will not acquire any real property before the Effective Date.
4.5.3 The personal property described in the list delivered
pursuant to Section 4.28(xiii) (Additional Disclosure) is not held under any
lease, security agreement, conditional sales contract, or other title retention
or security arrangement, nor is such property located other than in the
possession of XLI. There will be no material and adverse changes in the amount
and type of tangible personal property in the possession of, or used by, XLI
during the period from September 30, 1997 to and including the Effective Date.

4.6 LIABILITIES. XLI has no material liabilities except as disclosed
herein and in the XLI SEC Reports.
4.7 INVENTORIES. The inventories of XLI, whether finished goods, work
in process or raw materials, shown on the XLI SEC Reports or thereafter
acquired, are all items of a quality usable or saleable in the ordinary and
usual course of the business of XLI, except for inventory items which are
obsolete or not usable or saleable in the ordinary course of business which have
been written down to an amount not in excess of realizable market value or for
which adequate reserves or allowances have been provided in the XLI SEC Reports.
The values at which inventories are carried reflect the inventory valuation
policy of XLI which is consistent with its past practice and in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
4.8 RAW MATERIALS. All raw materials and finished goods purchased by XLI
and placed in inventory were done so in the ordinary course of XLI's business
and are presently available on reasonable terms and conditions from the vendors
listed on the vendors list provided pursuant to Section 4.28(ix) (Additional
Disclosure). There are no sole source providers of raw materials or finished
goods material to XLI's business.
4.9 SALES CONTRACTS AND BIDS. All cost and pricing data stated in the
bids, proposals, quotations, sales contracts and other commitments described on
the list provided pursuant to Section 4.28(xv) (Additional Disclosure) were when
made, accurate, complete and current in all material respects. To the best of
XLI's knowledge, each such sales contract and other commitment is a valid
agreement pursuant to which no default of any material nature exists or is
contemplated thereunder, and no notice of cancellation thereof has been received
by XLI nor is XLI aware of any contemplated cancellation thereof by the customer
thereunder. To the best of XLI's knowledge, none of such documents (i) contains
terms, conditions or requirements which exceed the current capacity or
capabilities of XLI or calls for performance unattainable within XLI's current
capabilities, (ii) is the subject of any change or adjustment yet to be
negotiated with the customer thereunder, (iii) is subject to any dispute or (iv)
provided Oak and Pixel make no material changes in XLI's performance standards
or operating procedures or levels, will result upon completion of performance
either in a total cost of performance which is in excess of the contract or bid
price, or a cost to complete performance in excess of the remaining unbilled
portion of the contract price. To the best of XLI's knowledge, no sales
contract or other commitment of XLI completed or under performance is or will be
the subject of any claim against XLI for reduction in the purchase price, return
of excess profits or violation of any government regulations or contracting
procedures.
4.10 QUALITY AND CONFORMANCE OF PRODUCTS. XLI's products and all
components thereof, whether actually delivered or currently being produced,
packaged or manufactured by XLI, have met or meet the specifications set forth
in the sales contracts or purchase orders relating to such products and any
applicable governmental minimum quality standards. To the best of XLI's
knowledge, each such product and component is free from any defect in quality,
materials or packaging standards that would subject XLI to any contract claim,
product liability or other liability of any nature whatsoever, whether asserted
by the purchaser thereof or any third party.
4.11 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. All of the accounts receivable of XLI shown on
the XLI SEC Reports or thereafter acquired arose and are collectible in the
ordinary and usual course of XLI's business, except that the value of any
account receivable, the collection of which is doubtful or which is subject to a
defense or set-off, has been written down to an amount not in excess of
realizable market value or adequate

values at which accounts receivable are carried reflect the accounts receivable
valuation policy of XLI which is consistent with its past practice and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.
4.12 TAXES. XLI and the XLI Subsidiaries have prepared and filed all
state, local, United States and other applicable domestic or foreign
jurisdictions corporate income, real and personal property, withholding, sales
and other tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid or
made provision for the payment of all taxes that have become due pursuant to
such returns or are otherwise due. The tax returns of XLI and the XLI
Subsidiaries have not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or any other
governmental agency. No deficiency, assessment or proposed adjustment of XLI's
or any XLI Subsidiary's taxes is pending and XLI has no knowledge of any
proposed liability for any tax to be imposed upon its or any XLI Subsidiary's
properties or assets. XLI has not made an election under Section 341(f) of the
Code. XLI has not made or agreed (or been required) to make any adjustment or
change in accounting method. No material special charges, penalties, fines,
liens or similar encumbrances have been asserted against XLI or the XLI
Subsidiaries with respect to the payment or failure to pay any taxes which have
not been paid or received without further liability to XLI or the XLI
Subsidiaries. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by XLI and the XLI
Subsidiaries from their employees for all periods in compliance with the
withholding provisions of applicable law. No payments by XLI to its officers,
directors, employees or consultants under any contact, plan or agreement,
including but not limited to this Agreement, or payments contemplated by this
Agreement, constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Code.

holding corporation" as defined in Section 897 of the Code and the regulations

refused to (or threatened to refuse to) continue to do business with XLI or has
threatened to refuse to do business with XLI after the Merger on the same terms
and conditions as XLI did business with such vendors prior to the Effective Date
and in no event on terms and conditions less favorable to Oak and Pixel than
customary terms and conditions in XLI's industry. To the best knowledge of XLI,
no vendor appearing on the vendors list provided pursuant to Section 4.28(ix)
(Additional Disclosure) has the right to terminate any agreement entered into
with XLI.

copyrights held by XLI are valid. There are no claims, disputes, actions,
proceedings, suits or appeals pending against XLI or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation with
respect to any XLI Intellectual Property Rights, and, to the knowledge of XLI,
none have been threatened against XLI or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation . To the knowledge
of XLI, there are no facts or circumstances which would reasonably serve as a
basis for any claim (i) that the manufacture, sale or use of any product, or any
licensing of XLI Intellectual Property Rights, infringes on any patent,
copyright or trade secret, (ii) against the use by XLI of any XLI Intellectual
Property Rights or (iii) challenging the ownership or validity of any XLI
Intellectual Property Rights. To the knowledge of XLI, there is no unauthorized
use, infringement or misappropriation of any XLI Intellectual Property Rights by
any third party, including ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation or
any employee or consultant, or former employee or consultant, of XLI. Neither
XLI nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation has been sued or charged in writing as a defendant in

any infringement liability with respect to, or infringement by, XLI or ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Corporation of any trade secret, patent, trademark, service ▇▇▇▇ or copyright of
another. XLI maintains a trade secret protection program pursuant to which its
officers, employees and consultants have been requested to sign a Development
and Confidential Information Agreement. Since January 1, 1993 and thereafter,
each of the XLI's officers, employees and consultants with access to technical

full force and effect. To the knowledge of XLI, none of its officers, employees
or consultants is in violation of such agreements.

condition, business, assets or operations of XLI, the business of XLI has been
conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders and other
requirements of governmental authorities, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, ERISA and all other laws, regulations and orders
relating to employment practices and procedures and the health and safety of
employees. XLI has not received any notice of alleged violations of the
foregoing.

Subsidiaries to the best of XLI's knowledge (i) have obtained all applicable
permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required under Federal,

releases of pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic materials or wastes

notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder;
(iii) as of the date hereof, are not aware of nor have received notice of any
event, condition, circumstance, activity, practice, incident, action or plan
which is reasonably likely to interfere with or prevent continued compliance or
which would give rise to any common law or statutory liability, or otherwise
form the basis of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, based on or resulting
from XLI's or any of XLI's Subsidiaries (or any of their respective agents)
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling, or the emission, discharge or release into the
environment, of any pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous or toxic material or
waste; and (iv) have taken all actions necessary under applicable requirements
of Federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations to register any products
or materials required to be registered by XLI or the XLI Subsidiaries (or any of
their respective agents) thereunder.
4.20 ERISA AND RELATED MATTERS.
4.20.1 The XLI Pension Plans are qualified under Section 401 of the
Code and the trusts maintained pursuant thereto are exempt from federal income
taxation under Section 501 of the Code, and nothing has occurred with respect to
the operation of the XLI Pension Plans which could cause the loss of such
qualification or exemption or the imposition of any liability or tax under ERISA
or the Code.
4.20.2 Neither XLI nor any Related Party maintains or has ever
maintained a pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA.
4.20.3 There is no material violation of ERISA or the Code with
respect to the filing of applicable statements, reports, documents and notices
with the Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of the Treasury or the furnishing
of statements, reports, documents and notices to the participants or
beneficiaries with respect to the XLI Employee Benefit Plans.
4.20.4 True, correct and complete copies of the following documents
for each XLI Employee Benefit Plan have been made available to Oak or its
counsel by XLI: (i) all plan documents and related trust documents, insurance
contracts and other documents pursuant to which benefits under such Plans are

last three Plan years and any estimates of projected future liabilities, (iii)
the last Internal Revenue Service determination letter, (iv) the most recent
summary Plan descriptions, (v) all written communications given to all or any
specific group of employees and (vi) written descriptions of all oral agreements
relating to the Employee Benefit Plans.
4.20.5 There are no pending claims or lawsuits which have been
asserted or instituted against any XLI Employee Benefit Plan, the assets of any
of the trusts under such Plans, XLI or a Related Party or against any fiduciary
of any Employee Benefit Plan with respect to the operation of such Plans, nor
does XLI have knowledge of facts which could form the basis for any such claim
or lawsuit.
4.20.6 All amendments and actions required to have been taken prior
to the date hereof to bring the XLI Employee Benefit Plans and the XLI Pension
Plans into conformity in all material respects with all of the applicable
provisions of ERISA and all other applicable laws have been made or taken.

in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA has been obtained, and will be
in full force and effect until the Effective Time.
4.20.8 Each XLI Employee Benefit Plan has been maintained, in all
material respects, in accordance with its terms and with all provisions of ERISA
(including rules and regulations thereunder) and other applicable law, and
neither XLI (or a Related Party) nor any "party in interest" or "disqualified
person" with respect to any such Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a
"prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Title
I, Part 4 of ERISA for which no statutory or administrative exemption exists.
4.20.9 None of the XLI Employee Benefit Plans which are "welfare
benefit plans" within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA provides for
continuing benefits or coverage for any participant or any beneficiary of a
participant after such participant's termination of employment except as may be
required under COBRA or at the expense of the participant or the participant's
beneficiary. XLI and each Related Party has complied in all material respects
with the notice and continuation requirements of COBRA. There are no
commitments, whether contractual in nature or based upon any representation,
warranty or other undertaking by XLI which would preclude Oak or Pixel from
increasing the cost charged individuals for participating in any continuing
medical benefit coverage.
4.20.10 Neither XLI nor any Related Party has withdrawn in a
complete or partial withdrawal from any multi-employer plan within the meaning
of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA prior to the Effective Time. Neither XLI nor any
Related Party has contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any multi-
employer plan within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.
4.20.11 Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall confer
upon any employee of XLI or a Related Party, any beneficiary or dependent of
such employee, or upon any legal representative or collective bargaining agent
of such employee, or upon any other person not a party to this Agreement any
rights or remedies, of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this
Agreement, including without limitation any right to employment or to continued
employment for any specified period or any right to participation or to
continued participation in any XLI Employee Benefit Plan or in any compatible
arrangement for current or deferred compensation.
4.20.12 XLI has no arrangements covering employees maintained
outside the United States which would be Employee Benefit Plans if they were
maintained inside the United States.

for the purpose of soliciting proxies from XLI Stockholders to vote in favor of
the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the Merger and the appointment
of the Stockholder Representatives at a special meeting of XLI Stockholders to

provide to Oak and Pixel copies of any proxy materials or correspondence related
thereto prior to any filing of such proxy materials or correspondence with the
SEC.

ensure that the proxy statement does not, as of the date on which it is
distributed to XLI Stockholders, and as of the date of the XLI Special Meeting,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that XLI
shall only be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information
relating to XLI or furnished by XLI in writing for inclusion in the proxy
statement).
6.1.1.4 XLI, acting through its Board of Directors, shall include
in the proxy statement the recommendation of its Board of Directors that the XLI
Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of
the Merger and the appointment of the Stockholder Representatives, and shall

General Corporation Law a notice of that the Merger has become effective. XLI

notice to Oak and Pixel of any notice of default received by it subsequent to
the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time of the Merger under
any instrument or agreement to which XLI is a party or by which it is bound, and
of the assertion of any claim which, if upheld, would render inaccurate any
representation of XLI herein.
6.1.5 NO SOLICITATION. Subject to this Section 6.1.5, XLI and the
Party Stockholders shall not, and XLI shall use its best efforts to cause its
Related Parties and each of its officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate or knowingly
encourage discussions or negotiations with any person or entity (other than Oak

accumulation of XLI Stock, proxy solicitation or other business combination
involving XLI, any XLI Subsidiary or any division of XLI or of any XLI
Subsidiary ("XLI TRANSACTION PROPOSAL") or (b) provide any non-public
information concerning the business, properties or assets of XLI or any XLI
Subsidiary to any person or entity (other than Oak or Pixel). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, XLI
shall not be prohibited from (x) furnishing information pursuant to a written
confidentiality agreement to a third party who has initiated contact with XLI
regarding a BONA FIDE unsolicited XLI Transaction Proposal under circumstances
not constituting a breach of the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 6.1.5
(a "PERMITTED XLI CONTACT"), (y) engaging in discussions or negotiations with a
third party who has initiated a Permitted XLI Contact regarding an XLI
Transaction Proposal or (z) following receipt of an XLI Transaction Proposal
taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-
2(a) under the Exchange Act or otherwise make disclosure to its stockholders,
but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) only to
the extent that the Board of Directors of XLI shall have concluded in good faith
in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, after consultation with its outside
counsel and financial advisor, that such actions are more likely than not to
result in a BONA FIDE XLI Transaction Proposal, the terms of which would be more
favorable to XLI Stockholders than the Merger (a "SUPERIOR XLI PROPOSAL"). XLI
shall immediately notify Oak and Pixel of and shall disclose to Oak and Pixel
all details of, any inquiries, discussions or negotiations of the notice
described in this Section 6.1.5, and if XLI receives an XLI Transaction
Proposal, XLI shall within one business day of its receipt of such proposal
inform Oak and Pixel of the terms and conditions of such proposal and identity
of the person making it. Immediately from and after the date of this Agreement,
XLI shall cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions
or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any XLI
Transaction Proposal. Any confidentiality agreement entered into with any
person or entity (other than Oak or Pixel) in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 6.1.5 shall require that any non-public information concerning the
business, properties or assets of XLI or any XLI Subsidiary shall be kept
confidential by the recipient of such information, shall not be used by the
recipient of such information other than for purposes of conducting a due
diligence investigation of XLI, and shall be returned to XLI upon consummation
of the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.
6.1.6 ACCESS. XLI shall, between the date hereof and the
Effective Date, give Oak's and Pixel's representatives full access, during
normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all of XLI's assets,
properties, books, records, agreements and commitments, and furnish Oak's and
Pixel's representatives during such period with all such information concerning
XLI affairs as Oak and Pixel may reasonably request; provided, however, that Oak
and Pixel and their Related Parties and agents will hold in strict confidence
all documents and information concerning XLI so furnished, and, if the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall not be consummated, such
confidence shall be maintained and all such documents shall immediately
thereafter be returned to XLI.
6.1.7 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS OF XLI PENDING THE MERGER. XLI
covenants and agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective
Time, XLI shall, and XLI shall cause the business of any XLI Subsidiary to be
conducted only in, and XLI and the XLI Subsidiaries shall not take any action
except in, the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past
practice, and XLI shall use all reasonable efforts to preserve substantially
intact the business organization of XLI and the XLI Subsidiaries, to keep
available the services of the present officers, employees and consultants of XLI
and the XLI Subsidiaries, and to preserve the present relationships of XLI and
the XLI Subsidiaries with customers, suppliers and other persons with which XLI
or any XLI Subsidiary has significant business relations. XLI and the Party
Stockholders further consent and agree that XLI shall refrain from taking any

obtaining any consents or approvals of third parties relating to contracts,
licenses, leases and other instruments material to the business of XLI,
including any consents or approvals required in connection with the merger of
XLI into Pixel. XLI further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver or
cause to be executed and delivered all deeds and instruments of assignment
requested by Oak or Pixel, including instruments of assignment for any patent,
trademark or copyright of XLI, and to take or cause to be taken such further or
other action as Oak or Pixel may deem necessary or desirable in order to vest in
and confirm to Pixel title to and possession of any property of XLI acquired or
to be acquired by Pixel in connection with the merger of XLI with and into
Pixel, and otherwise to carry out the intent and purpose of such merger.

employment of ▇'▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Employment Agreement to be entered into

Pixel for the review and approval of Pixel, prior to any funding of XLI
operations by Pixel, an operating budget for XLI for each calendar quarter of
XLI; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.2.2
(Maintenance of XLI Operations) or in any such operating budget shall obligate
Pixel to fund the operations of XLI.

Section 9 (Post-Closing Adjustment), Oak covenants and agrees to pay within
thirty (30) days following the Effective Date those accounts payable of XLI set

effect that all conditions in this Section 7.3 (Conditions to XLI's obligations)
to XLI's obligations under this Agreement have been satisfied or waived by XLI.

delivered to ▇'▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ the Employment Agreements.
SECTION 8. TERMINATION; AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at
any time prior to the Effective Date (whether before or after approval of the
stockholders of Sub or XLI or both):
8.1.1 by mutual consent of the respective Boards of Directors of
Oak, Pixel, Sub and XLI.
8.1.2 by Oak, Pixel and Sub if any of the conditions set forth in
Section 7.1 (Conditions to Each Party's Obligations to Effect the Transaction)
or 7.2 (Conditions to Oak's, Pixel's and Sub's
Oak Technology, Inc.
Pixel Magic / XLI
Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger
Page 40
Obligations) hereof shall not have been fulfilled on or prior to the date
specified for fulfillment thereof, or shall have become incapable of
fulfillment, and shall not have been waived on or before March 31, 1998.
8.1.3 by XLI if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1
(Conditions to Each Party's Obligations to Effect the Transaction) or 7.3
(Conditions to XLI's Obligations) hereof shall not have been fulfilled on or
prior to the date specified for fulfillment thereof, or shall have become
incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived on or before March 31,
1998.
8.1.4 by any of Oak, Pixel, Sub or XLI if any action or proceeding
before any court or other governmental body or agency shall have been instituted
or threatened to restrain, modify or prohibit the Merger.
8.1.5 by Oak, Pixel or Sub if, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of Oak, Pixel or Sub evidenced by a certified copy of resolutions of
such Board filed with the other parties to this Agreement, the Merger is
impractical or undesirable by reason of the fact that demands of Dissenting
Stockholders of XLI to this Agreement for purchase of their shares are so great
in amount as to render the Merger inadvisable.
8.1.6 by Oak, Pixel, Sub or XLI if the Statutory Certificate of
Merger shall not have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware and if the Merger shall not have become effective, on or before March
31, 1998 (or such other later date as of the Boards of Directors of Oak, Pixel,
Sub and XLI shall mutually approve).
8.1.7 by XLI if prior to the consummation of the Merger (i) XLI
receives a BONA FIDE written XLI Transaction Proposal from a third party, (ii)
the Board of Directors of XLI determines in good faith pursuant to Section 6.1.5
(No Solicitation) that such XLI Transaction Proposal is a Superior XLI Proposal
and (iii) XLI has provided Oak and Pixel with at least five (5) business days'
prior written notice of such XLI Transaction Proposal, including a copy thereof,
and of the determination of its Board of Directors referred to in clause (ii)
above; provided, however, that a condition to the effectiveness of the
termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this
subsection 8.1.7 is the payment to Oak, as liquidated damages, the amount of the
Termination Fee in same day funds. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer
to an account designated by Oak. At Oak's sole option and upon written notice
to XLI, the amount of the Termination Fee payable by XLI to Oak may be reduced
by the amount of any royalties or other payments due to XLI by Oak or Pixel
under the Technology License and Supply Agreement entered into between Pixel and
XLI. The parties agree that the Termination Fee is a reasonable sum considering
all the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement, including the
relationship of the sum to the range of harm to Oak and Pixel that reasonably
could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages would be
costly or incorrect.
8.1.8 by Oak for any reason, other than as provided in Sections
8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.4, 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 above, upon payment to XLI, as liquidated
damages, the amount of the Termination Fee in same day funds. The parties agree
that the Termination Fee is a reasonable sum considering all the circumstances
existing as of the date of this Agreement, including the relationship of the sum
to the range of damage to XLI that reasonably could be anticipated and the
anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or incorrect.

8.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event that this Agreement is terminated
and the Merger herein abandoned as described above, this Agreement (except
Sections 1 (Definitions), 6.1.6 (Confidentiality), 8 (Termination; Amendment and
Waiver) and 12 (Miscellaneous) hereof) shall become void and of no force and
effect, without any liability on the part of any of the parties hereto (or their
respective stockholders, directors, officers or attorneys) under this Agreement;
provided that such termination shall not affect any existing agreement between
any of the parties hereto, including, without limitation, the Technology License
and Supply Agreement between Pixel and XLI, except as provided in Sections 8.1.7
and 8.1.8 above.
8.3 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
8.3.1 Oak, Pixel, Sub and XLI may, by written agreement among them
authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, amend this Agreement or the
Statutory Certificate of Merger at any time prior to the Effective Date,
provided that, after the earlier of the Sub or XLI stockholders consents, no
amendment shall be made that changes the terms of this Agreement or the
Statutory Certificate of Merger in a way that is materially adverse to the
stockholders who have approved the transactions, unless such amendment is
approved by such stockholders. Any amendment to this Agreement entered into
subsequent to the Effective Date shall be approved by the Stockholder
Representatives instead of by XLI or the stockholders of XLI.
8.3.2 Any condition to the performance of Oak, Pixel, Sub or XLI
which may legally be waived at or prior to the Effective Date may be waived at
any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by action taken or
authorized by the Board of Directors of the waiving party.
SECTION 9. POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENT.
9.1 POST-CLOSING AUDIT. Oak shall have thirty (30) days following the
Effective Date to conduct an audit ("POST CLOSING AUDIT") of the Closing Balance
Sheet of XLI. At Oak's sole option, Oak may consult with KPMG Peat Marwick, or
such other accountants as are acceptable to Oak, in performing such Post-Closing
Audit. Such Post-Closing Audit shall be conducted in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis as of the date of
XLI's Closing Balance Sheet.
9.2 CONTINGENT CASH ADJUSTMENT. If the audit performed pursuant to
Section 9.1 (Post-Closing Audit) establishes that the Net Deficit of XLI as of
the date of the Closing Balance Sheet is greater than Eight Hundred Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($825,000) then the amounts otherwise payable under Section 2.6
above (Payment of Contingent Cash) shall be reduced by the amount of such
shortfall (a "CONTINGENT CASH ADJUSTMENT"). Written notice of any Contingent
Cash Adjustment shall be provided to the Stockholder Representatives promptly
following Oak's receipt of the Post-Closing Audit.
SECTION 10. NON-RECOURSE INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 INDEMNITY. All XLI Stockholders, effective on the Effective date,
and, in the case of any holders of XLI Warrants who become XLI Stockholders (as
such term is defined in Section 1.72 hereof), effective as of the date such
holders of XLI Warrants become XLI Stockholders (collectively referred to
hereafter as the "INDEMNIFYING STOCKHOLDERS"), agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold Oak and Pixel harmless against all claims, losses,
liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs, interest, penalties and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation (hereafter
individually a "LOSS" and collectively "LOSSES") incurred by Pixel or Oak as a
result of (i) any inaccuracy of a representation or
Oak Technology, Inc.
Pixel Magic / XLI
Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger
Page 42
breach of any warranty contained herein or in any schedule, exhibit or other
document delivered pursuant hereto by XLI or the Stockholder Representatives,
(ii) any failure of XLI or the Stockholder Representatives to perform or comply
with any covenant contained herein or in any schedule, exhibit or other document
delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) any inaccuracy in any certificate or other
information delivered by XLI or the Stockholder Representatives pursuant to
Section 7.2.11 of this Agreement (XLI Stock and Share Equivalents), Section
4.4.2 of the Escrow Agreement or Section 4 of the Exchange Agreement. In
addition, the Indemnifying Stockholders agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold Oak and Pixel harmless against all losses which may be
sustained or incurred by Pixel, its subsidiaries, affiliates, sublicensees or
customers as a result of any claim or claims that any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technology, any
documentation, any product (to the extent of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Technology or
documentation contained therein or practiced thereby) or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Right
infringes or violates any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary
right of any third party. Payments with respect to XLI Dissenting Stockholders
shall not constitute a "Loss" hereunder. The term "Loss" shall not include any
changes to the financial statements (including balance sheet valuations) of XLI
caused by a change in accounting methods used after the Effective Time of the
Merger as opposed to those used by XLI before the Effective Time of the Merger.
This limitation of the definition of Loss shall not apply to Losses caused as a
result of XLI's failure to prepare the financial statements of XLI in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
10.2 THRESHOLD. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Indemnifying Stockholders shall be liable and shall be obligated with respect to
the indemnity provided herein only to the extent that claims individually or in
the aggregate exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), provided that once such
claims exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), the Indemnifying Stockholders
shall be responsible for the first Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of such
claims.
10.3 DEFENSE. Oak and Pixel agree to give the XLI Stockholder
Representatives written notice of any claim or assertion of which they have
knowledge concerning any liability as to which they may request indemnification
hereunder. Each party will cooperate with the other in determining the validity
of any such claim or assertion. Upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of
any action, proceeding or other event which could give rise to a claim of
indemnity pursuant to this Section 10, Oak or Pixel shall promptly give written
notice to the XLI Stockholder Representatives. If such claim or demand relates
to a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the XLI Stockholder
Representatives shall have the right at their expense to employ counsel to
defend such claim or demand and Oak and Pixel shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to participate in the defense of any such claim or demand. So long
as the XLI Stockholder Representatives are defending such claim or demand in
good faith, Oak and Pixel will not settle such claim or demand without the
consent of the XLI Stockholder Representatives, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Oak and Pixel shall make available to the XLI
Stockholder Representatives all records and other materials reasonably required
by them in contesting a claim or demand asserted by a third party against Oak or
Pixel and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.
10.4 TERM. The indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders
shall survive the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the later of
March 31, 2001 or the date on which the final payment of any Contingent Cash is
payable pursuant to Section 2.6 (Payment of Contingent Cash).
10.5 NON-RECOURSE INDEMNITY. With respect to amounts due under this
Section 10 (Non-Recourse Indemnification), Oak and Pixel shall have no recourse
against the XLI Stockholders personally and Oak and Pixel shall be entitled
solely to a right of set-off against amounts otherwise payable under Section 2.6
Oak Technology, Inc.
Pixel Magic / XLI
Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger
Page 43
(Payment of Contingent Cash). It is the intent of the parties that the sole
recourse of Oak and Pixel with respect to amounts due under this Section 10
(Non-Recourse Indemnification) shall be to withhold payments otherwise due to
the XLI Stockholders as part of the Contingent Cash payments under Section 2.6
(Payment of Contingent Cash). Oak and Pixel shall not have recourse to amounts
already paid to the XLI Stockholders under Section 2.6 (Payment of Contingent
Cash), but shall be entitled to withhold payments otherwise due to the XLI
Stockholders in the future as Contingent Cash under Section 2.6 (Payment of
Contingent Cash).
SECTION 11. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES.
11.1 APPOINTMENT OF STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES. By virtue of the
affirmative vote approving the Merger and this Agreement, the XLI Stockholders
shall irrevocably appoint the Stockholder Representatives to act as attorneys-
in-fact of the XLI Stockholders with authority to make all decisions on behalf
of the Stockholders with respect to any matters upon which the Stockholder
Representatives are authorized to act under this Agreement, including without
limitation, any payments to be made under Section 2.6 (Payment of Contingent
Cash), any adjustments thereto under this Agreement, any claims for
indemnification under Section 10 (Non-Recourse Indemnification) and any
amendments to this Agreement under Section 8.3.1 hereof, and any decisions of
the Stockholder Representatives with respect to any of such matters shall be
final and binding on the XLI Stockholders as if expressly confirmed in writing
by each of them.
11.2 ACTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS OF STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES. Any action
required to be taken, or notice or instructions required to be given, to Oak,
the Escrow Agent or the Exchange Agent under this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement or the Exchange Agreement may be taken or given by a majority of the
Stockholder Representatives; provided, however, that less than a majority of the
Stockholder Representatives may take such action or give such notice or
instructions upon delivery to Oak, the Escrow Agent or the Exchange Agent, as
the case may be, of a notice signed by a majority of the Stockholder
Representatives stating that any action may be taken and any notice or
instructions may be given to Oak, the Escrow Agent or the Exchange Agent, as the
case may be, by the number of Stockholder Representatives specified in such
notice. If for any reason there is only one Stockholder Representative at any
time, then Oak, the Escrow Agent and the Exchange Agent, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by, or notice or instructions
given by, such Stockholder Representative. Written notice of any resignation or
removal of a Stockholder Representative, or any appointment of a successor
Stockholder Representative, shall be promptly provided to Oak, the Escrow Agent
and the Exchange Agent.
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 GOVERNING LAWS. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, U.S.A. (IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS CHOICE OF
LAW PRINCIPLES) SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION OF
ITS TERMS, AND THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF
THE PARTIES HERETO. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXCLUDE THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON

12.5 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original as against any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more
counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures
