Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
("Merger Sub").


                                   WITNESSETH:


         WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, and the
respective Boards of Directors of Merger Sub and the Company have each approved
the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger") in accordance
with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and the provisions of
this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, it is intended for federal income tax purposes that the Merger
qualify as a tax free reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A)
and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                   DEFINITIONS

         Section 1.1 DEFINITIONS. Certain terms used in this Agreement are
defined in Exhibit A attached hereto.

                                   ARTICLE II
          CONTROL EFFECTIVE TIME, THE MERGER, MERGER EFFECTIVE TIME AND
                              MERGER CONSIDERATION

         Section 2.1 CONTROL EFFECTIVE TIME. The parties hereto agree that as of
February 1, 2002 (the "Control Effective Time"), for ease of accounting cut off,
Mobility shall have the authority and responsibility for the operation and
management of the business and assets of the Company, and that the Board of
Directors of the Company shall not take any actions unless approved in writing
by Mobility. In such capacity, Mobility shall have the power and authority to
take, or refrain from taking, any actions in order to operate and manage the
business and assets of the Company. Mobility agrees to operate and manage the
Company in a lawful and prudent manner. The parties further agree that all
losses and income of the Company from the Control Effective Time shall be deemed
to be losses or income (as the case may be) of Merger Sub.

         Section 2.2 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. Prior to the Merger
Effective Time, each holder of: (i) stock options of the Company issued under
the Company's 2000 Management

Stock Option Plan and the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan; and (ii) warrants to
purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Portsmith
("Portsmith Common Stock"), which stock options and warrants are identified on
Schedule 3.2 attached hereto, shall have the option to exercise such stock
options and warrants, as the case may be, and pay the exercise price by
delivering to the Company cash and/or a promissory note, in substantially the
form of Exhibit F attached hereto, aggregating in the amount of such exercise
price (the "Election Option"). An option or warrant holder who does not elect
the Election Option in accordance with the previous sentence (a "Non-Electing
Securityholder") will be deemed not to be an Eligible Stockholder, and such
Non-Electing Stockholder's options and/or warrants will be deemed to be canceled
and terminated as of the Merger Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything in this
Article II to the contrary, the Merger Consideration payable to the stockholders
of the Company (excluding the Non-Electing Stockholders and the Dissenting
Stockholders) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Merger
Consideration multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of Portsmith Shares held by the Non-Electing Stockholders and the
Dissenting Stockholders immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and the
denominator which shall be the number of Portsmith Shares issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

         Section 2.3 THE MERGER. At the Merger Effective Time, in accordance
with this Agreement and the DGCL, the Company shall be merged with and into
Merger Sub, the separate existence of the Company shall cease, and Merger Sub
shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). In
connection with the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall change its name to
"Portsmith, Inc."

         Section 2.4 EFFECT OF THE MERGER. At the Merger Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall thereafter possess all of the public and private
rights, privileges, powers, assets, liabilities and obligations of Merger Sub
and the Company.

         Section 2.5 CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER. As soon as practicable after
the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall cause the Merger to be
consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of
Merger in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the
relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of such filing, or such later
date as agreed by the parties and set forth therein, being the "Merger Effective
Date").

         Section 2.6 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION; BYLAWS; DIRECTORS AND
OFFICERS. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub
as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided, however,
that, at the Merger Effective Time the name of the Surviving Corporation shall
be changed to "Portsmith, Inc." The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to
the Merger Effective Time (i.e., Charles R. Mollo, William O. Hunt and Joan
Brubacher) shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall
serve until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified
or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the
Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the DGCL.
Immediately following the Merger, Holmes Lundt ("Lundt") and a designee of Lundt
will be elected to the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, and
Lundt will be

                                       2

holders of Portsmith Common Stock and securities convertible or exercisable into
shares of Portsmith Common Stock, and the portion of the Merger Consideration

Eligible Stockholder, then the Merger Consideration shall be reduced in
accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.11. The aggregate consideration to be
received by the Eligible Stockholders holding shares of Portsmith Common Stock
(the "Portsmith Shares") in connection with the Merger shall be each Eligible
Stockholder's share of the following (as determined by the percentages set forth

                                             Parent shall determine in writing

                                             set forth in subsections (iv)-(vii)
                                             of subsection (b) above; provided,

                           (d) LIMITATION OF SHARES OF PARENT COMMON STOCK.
         Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, in no
         event shall Parent issue more than 3,023,863 shares of Parent Common
         Stock in the aggregate (i.e., 19.9% of the issued and outstanding
         shares as of the date hereof) under the provisions of subsections (a),
         (b) and (c) above (the "Share Cap"); it being agreed and understood
         that any excess over the Share Cap to be paid as Merger Consideration
         shall be paid in cash; provided further, however, in the event that the
         entire Performance Earn Out and/or Revenue Earn Out may not be paid due
         to the Share Cap and the Cash Cap, then Parent and Lundt, on behalf of
         the Eligible Stockholders, shall attempt to reach a satisfactory
         payment arrangement and, failing to do so, at any time, Lundt may
         request Parent to, and Parent shall, call a Special Meeting of its
         stockholders (the "Special Meeting") in order to request such
         stockholders to approve the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock
         as Merger Consideration in excess of the Share Cap, and Parent shall
         use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval, and
         will file a proxy statement in connection therewith as soon as
         practicable, but no more than sixty (60) days after, Lundt's request;
         provided, however, that in lieu of calling the Special Meeting, Parent
         will give Lundt, on behalf of the Eligible Stockholders, the option to
         be paid cash in excess of the Cash Cap, which option can be accepted or
         rejected in Lundt's sole discretion.

                           (e) PLEDGE AGREEMENT. The parties hereto agree that
         payment of the Performance Earn Out and the Revenue Earn Out shall be
         secured by a security interest in the shares of capital stock of the
         Surviving Corporation pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, in substantially
         the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the "Pledge Agreement").

                           (f) OTHER AMOUNTS. For purposes of determining only
         the Cash Cap, any cash paid under this Section 2.7, any cash paid for
         fractional shares under Section 2.8(d) and any cash paid pursuant to
         Section 2.11 shall be included in such calculation as cash paid as part
         of the Merger Consideration.

                           (g) INTEREST INCOME. A portion of the Performance
         Earn Out and the Revenue Earn Out payments made after the Merger
         Effective Date may be characterized as ordinary interest income for
         U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of such interest is
         determined under the deferred payment transaction rules of Section 483
         of the Code. The portion of those payments that is treated as interest
         will generally equal the excess of the fair market value of the earn
         out payments on the date of receipt over the present value of those
         payments, determined as of the Merger Effective Date, discounted using
         the applicable federal rate in effect for the month in which the Merger
         closes. Any payments made by Parent in the form of cash will be
         allocated first to any imputed interest determined under Section 483.

         Section 2.8 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. At the Merger Effective Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub,
the Company or the Stockholders:

                           (a) Each Portsmith Share issued and outstanding
         immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares held
         in treasury of the Company) shall be canceled and retired and be
         converted into the right to receive the portion of the total Merger
         Consideration payable to the respective Eligible Stockholders as set
         forth on Exhibit B (as adjusted to exclude Dissenting Stockholders, if
         any).

                           (b) Each Portsmith Share which is issued and
         outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and which is
         held in the treasury of the Company shall be canceled and retired and
         no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

                           (c) As a result of the Merger and without any action
         on the part of the Stockholders, all Portsmith Shares shall cease to be
         outstanding, shall be canceled and returned and shall cease to exist,
         and each holder of a certificate formerly representing any Portsmith
         Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such
         Portsmith Shares (a "Certificate"), except the right to receive,
         without interest, a pro-rata portion of the Merger Consideration in
         accordance with Section 2.7 and Exhibit B upon the surrender of such
         Certificate.

                           (d) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall
         be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu thereof, cash in the
         amount of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be paid for
         any fractional share that would have otherwise been issued.

                           (e) At the Merger Effective Time, each share of
         common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and
         outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time as a result
         of the Merger shall be automatically converted into one

         of its employees within the three years preceding the date hereof. Each
         of the Employee Benefit Plans can be terminated or amended at will by
         the Company. No unwritten amendment exits with respect to any Employee

<PAGE>


         Benefit Plan has been administered and maintained in compliance with
         all laws, rules and regulations. No Employee Benefit Plan is currently
         the subject of an audit, investigation, enforcement action or other
         similar proceeding conducted by any state or federal agency. No
         prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code)
         have occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. No threatened
         or pending claims, suits or other proceedings exist with respect to any
         Employee Benefit Plan other than normal benefit claims filed by
         participants or beneficiaries.

                           (b) The Company has received a favorable
         determination letter or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service for
         each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified within the meaning
         of Section 401(a) of the Code and/or tax-exempt within the meaning of
         Section 501(a) of the Code. No proceedings exist or have been
         threatened that could result in the revocation of any such favorable
         determination letter or ruling. No accumulated funding deficiency
         (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code), whether waived or
         unwaived, exists with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan. With respect
         to each Employee Benefit Plan described in Section 501(c)(9) of the
         Code, the assets of each such plan are at least equal in value to the
         present value of accrued benefits as of the date hereof. The Company
         does not have any liability to pay excise taxes with respect to any
         Employee Benefit Plan under applicable provisions of the Code or ERISA.
         No facts or circumstances exist that would result in the imposition of
         liability against Parent by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as
         a result of any act or omission by the Company.

         moratorium or similar laws of general application relating to or
         affecting creditors' rights, including without limitation, the effect
         of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances and
         preferential transfer, and (B) for the limitations imposed by general
         principles of equity.

                           (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b), such
         Stockholder owns, beneficially and of record, good and marketable title

         encumbrances, equities, proxies, options, voting agreements,
         stockholders' agreements or restrictions.

         Section 4.2 NO BREACH. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Escrow Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby will not (i) constitute a breach or default (or
an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a breach or

cancellation, material modification or acceleration under any agreement,
understanding or undertaking to which such Stockholder is a party or by which it
is bound, or (ii) constitute a violation of any law, rule or regulation to which
such Stockholder is subject.

making investments and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its
investment in Parent. Except as provided in Schedule 4.5 attached hereto, such
Stockholder is an "accredited investor", as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). Such Stockholder is acting on its own behalf in connection with the
investigation and examination of Parent and its decision to execute this
Agreement and all related documents, instruments and agreements. Such
Stockholder is receiving the Merger

therefore, and Parent has no obligation to effect such a registration.

and/or independent investigation made by such Stockholder and/or such
Stockholder's representative, and acknowledges that no representations or
agreements other than those set forth in this Agreement have been made to such
Stockholder in respect thereto. For any Stockholder who is not an accredited
investor, such Stockholder, by reason of its business or financial experience
and/or that of its representative who is unaffiliated with Parent and who is not
compensated by Parent or any affiliate of Parent, such Stockholder has the
capacity to protect such Stockholder's own interest in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the issuance of the Merger
Consideration to such Stockholder with respect to the transactions contemplated
herein. Such Stockholder expressly acknowledges and confirms that such
Stockholder has evaluated and understands the risks and terms of investing in
the securities of Parent to be issued to such Stockholder pursuant to this
Agreement, and/or such Stockholder and its representative have, such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters in general and in particular
with respect to this type of investment that such Stockholder is, or they are,
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent Common
Stock to be issued to such Stockholder in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein.

         Section 4.6 INVESTMENTS IN COMPETITORS. Such Stockholder does not own
directly or indirectly any interests or has any investment in any corporation,
business or other person that is a competitor of the Company, except that such
Stockholder may own stock in (but not exceeding one percent of the outstanding
capital stock of) any publicly traded company that may compete with the Company.

costs of sales, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent.

Corporation will continue to remain focused on its current handheld-centric

also allocate and deliver to the employees of the Surviving Corporation options

the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, and the related Security
Agreement shall be deemed to be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

the Merger Effective Time, Dan Axtman, the Company's Chief Technology Officer,
shall have executed and delivered to the Company an Assignment of Inventions
Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto.

         Section 7.8 FURTHER INSTRUMENTS OF TRANSFER. Following the Closing, at
the request of Parent, Stockholders shall deliver any further instruments of
transfer and take all reasonable action as may be necessary or appropriate to
carry out more effectively the provisions of this Agreement and to establish and
protect the rights created in favor of the parties hereunder or thereunder.

         Section 7.9 PARENT COVENANTS REGARDING SURVIVING CORPORATION'S
OPERATION. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement,

         compensation, retention and termination of employees and contractors of
         the Surviving Corporation during the Transition Period;

                           (b) not dissolve or liquidate the Surviving
         Corporation, nor sell or cause the Surviving Corporation to sell,

         business and other than the capital stock of Subsidiary, nor transfer
         any liabilities to the Surviving Corporation, nor merge or consolidate
         the Surviving Corporation with another entity or sell, distribute or
         otherwise dispose of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation;
         provided, however, that this subpart (b) shall not in any way prohibit
         or impede the Surviving Corporation from becoming a party to, and
         receiving proceeds from, Parent's credit facility, and the assets of
         Surviving Corporation may be pledged under such a credit facility;
         provided further, however, that Parent shall use all commercially
         reasonable efforts to cause the lender under Parent's credit facility,
         with respect to Surviving Corporation, to only loan against Surviving
         Corporation's account receivables and inventory and to limit Surviving
         Corporation's liability to the borrowing percentage for such assets
         under such lender's borrowing base calculation;

                           (c) not relocate the Surviving Corporation's physical
         offices or operations;

                           (d) except as provided in this Article VII, provide

         Corporation has agreed to undertake new or additional material
         responsibilities or obligations at the request of Parent (or any such
         affiliate), the revenue attributable to the Surviving Corporation shall
         be determined on terms no less favorable than if such transaction had
         been on an arm's length basis with an independent third party;
         provided, however, that neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent
         shall be obligated to enter into any such transactions;

                           (e) not take any materially adverse action to
         interfere with the Surviving Corporation's revenue contracts or to
         discourage customers, employees, vendors, suppliers or other business
         associates of the Surviving Corporation from continuing to maintain
         their business relationship with the Surviving Corporation as in effect
         on the Control Effective Date; and

                           (f) except with respect to the Pledge Agreement,

the terms and conditions of this Article and Section 9.6, the Eligible
Stockholders jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold Parent

breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or
Stockholders contained herein, in any exhibit, schedule, certificate or

claim shall be made for Damages under this Section 8.1 until, and such claims
may be made only to the extent that, the dollar amount of all such claims for
Damages shall exceed in the aggregate $50,000 (the "Threshold"); and provided
further, however, the aggregate liability of the Eligible Stockholders for
Damages shall not exceed the greater of: (i) $500,000; or (ii) fifty percent
(50%) of the Merger Consideration. All Damages in excess of the Threshold shall
be apportioned among the Eligible Stockholders in accordance with the
percentages of the Merger Consideration received or to be received by such
Eligible Stockholders pursuant to Exhibit B, and no Eligible Stockholder will be
required to pay more in Damages than the Merger Consideration that such Eligible
Stockholder received and/or was entitled to receive. Any Damages under this
Section 8.1 shall first be deducted from, and offset against, the Performance
Earn Out and/or the Revenue Earn Out.

         Section 8.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY PARENT. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Article and Section 9.6, Parent and Merger Sub agree to
indemnify, defend and hold the Stockholders harmless from and against all

Merger Sub contained herein, in any exhibit, schedule, certificate or financial
statement delivered hereunder, or in any agreement executed in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no claim shall be
made for Damages under this Section 8.2 until, and such claims may be made only

liability of Parent and Merger Sub for Damages shall not exceed the greater of:
(i) $500,000; or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Consideration.

         Section 8.3 CONDITIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION. The obligations and
liabilities of the Eligible Stockholders, Parent and Merger Sub (the
"indemnifying party") to the other (the "party


                                       25
<PAGE>


to be indemnified") under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 with respect to claims resulting
from the assertion of liability by third parties ("Third Party Claims") shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

                           (a) Within 20 days (or such earlier time as might be
         required to avoid prejudicing the indemnifying party's position) after
         receipt of notice of commencement of any action evidenced by service of
         process or other legal pleading, the party to be indemnified shall give
         the indemnifying party written notice thereof together with a copy of
         such claim, process or other legal pleading, and the indemnifying party
         shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by
         representatives of its own choosing and at its own expense; provided
         that the party to be indemnified may participate in the defense with
         counsel of its own choice, the fees and expenses of which counsel shall
         be paid by the party to be indemnified unless (i) the indemnifying
         party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying
         party has failed to assume the defense of such action or (iii) the
         named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties)
         include both the indemnifying party and the party to be indemnified and
         the party to be indemnified has been advised by counsel that there may
         be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from
         or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which
         case, if the party to be indemnified informs the indemnifying party in
         writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
         indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to
         assume the defense of such action on behalf of the party to be
         indemnified, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party
         shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but
         substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
         arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable
         for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
         attorneys at any time for the party to be indemnified, which firm shall
         be designated in writing by the party to be indemnified).

                           (b) In the event that the indemnifying party, by the
         30th day after receipt of notice of any such claim (or, if earlier, by
         the 10th day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading
         must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the
         person asserting such claim), does not elect to defend against such
         claim, the party to be indemnified will (upon further notice to the
         indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise
         or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk
         of the indemnifying party and at the indemnifying party's expense,
         subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of
         such claims at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final
         determination thereof.

                           (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying
         party shall not settle any claim without the consent of the party to be
         indemnified unless such settlement involves only the payment of money
         and the claimant provides to the party to be indemnified a release from
         all liability in respect of such claim. If the settlement of the claim
         involves more than the payment of money, the indemnifying party shall
         not settle the claim without the prior consent of the party to be
         indemnified.

                           (d) The party to be indemnified and the indemnifying
         party will each cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other.

         Section 8.4 WAIVER. No waiver by any party of any default or breach by
another party of any representation, warranty, covenant or condition contained
in this Agreement, any exhibit or any document, instrument or certificate
contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or
breach by such party of the same or any other representation, warranty, covenant
or condition. No act, delay, omission or course of dealing on the part of any
party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or at law or
in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice any of such
party's rights, powers and remedies. All remedies, whether at law or in equity,
shall be cumulative and the election of any one or more shall not constitute a
waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

         Section 8.5 REMEDIES EXCLUSIVE. The remedies provided in this Article
shall be the exclusive rights and remedies available to one party against the
other, either at law or in equity, except in the case of fraud.

         Section 8.6 OFFSET. Any and all amounts owing or to be paid by Parent
to Stockholders, hereunder shall be subject to offset and reduction pro tanto by
any amounts that may be owing at any time by Stockholders to Parent in respect
of any failure or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Company or Stockholders under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
agreement with Parent or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, as
reasonably determined by Parent. If Parent determines that such offset is
appropriate, notice shall be given to Stockholders of such determination at
least 10 days prior to the due date of the payment to be reduced. If the
conditions upon which the reduction is based are cured by Stockholders prior to
such due date, as determined by Parent, the amount of such payment shall not be
so reduced.

         Section 8.7 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, each party hereto shall bear its own costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and specifically,
Stockholders shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of Stockholders and
the Company in negotiating and consummating the transactions contemplated
herein, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees and expenses);
provided, however, if the Merger is consummated, Parent shall pay up to a
maximum of $50,000 of such costs and expenses of the Stockholders and the
Company.

         Section 8.8 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereto acknowledge that a
refusal by a party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby will cause
irreparable harm to the other parties hereto, for which there may be no adequate
remedy at law and for which the ascertainment of damages would be difficult.
Therefore, each party shall be entitled, in addition to, and without having to
prove the inadequacy of, other remedies at law, to specific performance of this
Agreement, as well as injunctive relief (without being required to post bond or
other security).

                                   ARTICLE IX

inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Neither this
Agreement nor any other agreement contemplated hereby shall be deemed to confer
upon any person not a party hereto or thereto any rights or remedies hereunder
or thereunder.

         Section 9.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the agreements
contemplated hereby constitute the entire agreement of the parties regarding the
subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

         Section 9.5 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining
provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be
affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance
herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a
provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

         Section 9.6 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the
Closing and all statements contained in any certificate, exhibit or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company, Stockholders, Parent or

Agreement to the contrary, shall survive the Closing until the earlier of: (i)

respect to any tax or tax-related matters, which shall survive the Closing until
the running of any applicable statutes of limitation.

         Section 9.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS (BUT NOT THE RULES GOVERNING
CONFLICTS OF LAWS) OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

         Section 9.8 CAPTIONS. The captions in this Agreement are for
