Purchaser covenants and agrees with Seller that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of the Assumed Liabilities effective as of the Closing. Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser that Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all Liabilities (except the Assumed Liabilities). ARTICLE III PURCHASE PRICE Section 3.1 Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, in consideration for the Assets and in full payment therefore and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, the purchase price set forth in Section 3.2. Section 3.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3 below), as consideration for the Business and the Assets: (a) Purchaser shall pay to Seller Sixty-Two Million Dollars ($62,000,000) (the "Purchase Price"); and (b) Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows: (i) Forty-Seven Million Dollars ($47,000,000) shall be paid in cash as of the Time of Closing (as defined in Section 6.1); and (ii) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) shall be evidenced by an unsecured promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2. Section 3.3 Purchase Price Adjustment. (a) As used in this Section 3.3, the "Net Asset Amount" of the Business of the Seller shall mean: Inventory plus Accounts Receivable (less allowance for doubtful accounts) plus Related Property minus all Assumed Liabilities. (b) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward only on a dollar- for-dollar basis to reflect any difference between the Net Asset Amount reflected on the unaudited balance sheet of the Business as of December 31, 1997, attached hereto as part of Schedule 4.1(c) (the "Reference Balance Sheet") and the Net Asset Amount reflected on the unaudited balance sheet of the Business as at the close of business on the date of the Closing (provided, however, that the Accounts Receivable shall be measured as of the AR Closing), which shall be prepared by Seller and its accountants from the books and records of the Business in accordance with this Agreement and generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and applied on a basis consistent with the Reference Balance Sheet (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet") (provided that no reduction in the value of the Related Property for the 5. purpose of the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be made for ordinary depreciation calculated in accordance with GAAP and past practice, consistently applied, that would otherwise accrue between December 31, 1997 and the Time of Closing). In furtherance thereof, Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and its accountants, and shall provide such persons full access to the books, records, work papers, information, facilities and employees of Purchaser relating to the Business as conducted by Purchaser from and after the Time of Closing. Seller shall deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet to Purchaser within twenty (20) days following the Closing. Purchaser shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet in which to notify Seller in detail of any specific objections thereto, during which period Seller shall provide Purchaser and its accountants with reasonable access to Seller's and Seller's accountants' working papers used in preparing the Reference Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Balance Sheet. If such notice is given and the parties are unable to resolve their disagreements within ten (10) days following Seller's receipt of such notice, the matter in dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 10.11 hereof. Resolution of such dispute by agreement of the parties hereto or by arbitration shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If applicable, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward based upon such final resolution (the "Final Adjustment"). Within ten (10) business days following the date of such final resolution, Seller, if applicable, shall remit in cash the amount of the difference by which the Net Asset Amount reflected in the Closing Date Balance Sheet is less than the Net Asset Amount as reflected in the Reference Balance Sheet. ARTICLE IV REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. Except as set forth in a letter (Schedule 4.1) specifically referring to this Section 4.1 of this Agreement (the "Disclosure Letter") delivered by Seller to Purchaser and Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, counsel to Purchaser and as updated by Seller prior to the Time of Closing (based upon, if necessary, an updated Disclosure Letter and Schedules in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) (which Disclosure Letter contents themselves shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Seller), Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that: (a) Organization of Seller. Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of California and has all requisite power and authority to own and operate the Business in the places where the Business is now conducted and to directly own, lease, and operate the Assets. Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a corporation and is in good standing in the state of California, and is not required to be qualified in any other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or location of its properties requires such qualification or licensing and where the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business. There are no Subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other arrangements that conduct any aspect of the Business or that are used in or for the Business. "Material Adverse Effect," when used as a defined term in connection with the Business, means any effect that is or could be deemed materially adverse to the business, condition, results of operations, properties or assets of the Business (excluding the Excluded Assets) as a whole; provided, however, that (i) any materially adverse effect that directly 6. results from general worldwide business, economic or industry conditions shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could be, a "Material Adverse Effect" on the Business, and (ii) any materially adverse effect that directly results from the taking of any action explicitly set forth in this Agreement or the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could be, a "Material Adverse Effect" on the Business (excluding the Excluded Assets). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Subsidiary" as to a party hereto shall mean any corporation or other business entity that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by such party by the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock (or other voting equity interests) of the controlled corporation or other business entity. (b) Authorization of Seller. Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, general conveyances, bills of sale, assignments, and other documents and instruments evidencing the conveyance of the Assets or delivered in accordance with Section 6.2 hereunder (the "Closing Documents"). Seller has taken all necessary and appropriate action with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing Documents. This Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, or other laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally; and (ii) general principles of equity. (c) Financial Information. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.1(c) is a complete and accurate copy of Seller's (i) unaudited balance sheets of the Business as of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, (ii) unaudited statements of operations of the Business for its fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and unaudited quarterly statements of operations for the eight consecutive quarters in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, (iii) unaudited statements of cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, and (iv) Business product sales and the average selling prices per product breakdown for the eight quarters in fiscal years 1996 and 1997 and for the full fiscal years 1996 and 1997 (which, collectively with the Closing Date Balance Sheet referred to in Section 3.3(b) hereof, shall be referred to herein for all purposes as, the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; the Financial Statements fairly and accurately present the Assets and financial position, product sales and average selling prices of the Business of Seller as and at the dates thereof and Seller's results of operations for the Business and cash flows for the Business for the periods then ended, except for year-end adjustments which in the aggregate have not been material to the condition or results of operations of the Business and for the absence of notes thereto.

Such licenses shall not give Seller any right to have delivered, have physical access or receive any portion of the proprietary information of Purchaser related to the Intellectual Property Rights, and is conditioned on Purchaser's covenant not to make claims or assert any cause of action against Seller or Seller's customers for infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of the Intellectual Property Rights arising as a result of Seller's exercise of the non-exclusive license rights set forth in the foregoing sentence. For purposes of this Agreement, "Retained Field of Use" shall mean and be limited to the manufacture, sale and use of products (other than radio systems, subsystems or components) in the information security and encryption business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no right or access to any of Purchaser's (or any subsidiary's, spinout's or joint ventures' of Purchaser) intellectual property developed by Purchaser (or any subsidiary, spinout or joint ventures of Purchaser) prior to or after the Time of Closing.

If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce in such action any of the separate covenants deemed included herein, then at the option of Purchaser, wholly-unenforceable covenants shall be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such a proceeding. 5.3.3 The parties agree that due to the unique nature of the services and capabilities of Seller, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of their obligations hereunder, that any such breach may allow Seller and/or third parties to unfairly compete with Purchaser or any of its affiliates resulting in irreparable harm to Purchaser or such affiliate, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Purchaser shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law. Further, Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification by Seller from any loss or harm, including, without limitation, attorney's fees, in connection with any breach, or any enforcement, of Seller's obligations hereunder. 5.3.4 Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that the covenants of Seller in this Section 5.3 are reasonably necessary for the protection of Purchaser's interests under this Agreement and are not unduly restrictive upon Seller. 5.3.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to prevent a direct or indirect acquisition, merger or consolidation (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.3.5 an "acquisition") of Seller and/or its Subsidiaries which effects a change of control of at least a majority of the voting stock of Seller or a sale, transfer or license of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller and/or its Subsidiaries, by, with or into another company or business engaged in the Business, and the ability of that company or business to engage in the Business following such acquisition, merger or consolidation; provided that the resources, operations, management and other employees of Seller do not participate, directly or indirectly, in the Business. 23. 5.3.6 The foregoing restrictions in this Section 5.3 shall not limit Seller in any respect from manufacturing, selling, using, licensing or otherwise making available any information security products (excluding radio systems, subsystems and components) to any party, including, without limitation, a party engaged in the Business.

(a) If the Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser or Seller or any of Seller's Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and other affiliates, as applicable, determines to seek indemnification (such party shall be referred to herein as an "Indemnified Party") under this Article VIII with respect to Seller Identifiable Claims or Purchaser Identifiable Claims, as applicable (such Claims shall be referred to herein as "Identifiable Claims"), resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties, such Indemnified Party shall give notice to the parties from which indemnification is sought (such parties shall be referred to herein as "Indemnifying Parties") within 90 days of such Indemnified Party becoming aware of any such Identifiable Claim or of facts upon which any such Identifiable Claim will be based; the notice shall set forth such material information with respect thereto as is then reasonably available to such Indemnified Party. In case any such liability is asserted against any Indemnified Party, and such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties thereof, the Indemnifying Parties will be entitled, if such Indemnifying Parties so elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Party within 20 days after receiving such Indemnified Party's notice, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over the management of the defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any obligation to give any notice of any assertion of liability by a third party unless such assertion is in writing, and (ii) the rights of the Indemnified Parties to be indemnified hereunder in respect of Identifiable Claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall not be adversely affected by their failure to give notice pursuant to the foregoing unless, and, if so, only to the extent that, such Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby. With respect to any assertion of liability by a third party that results in an Identifiable Claim, the parties hereto shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession material to any such assertion. (b) In the event that such Indemnifying Parties, within 20 days after receipt of the aforesaid notice of an Identifiable Claim, fail to assume the defense of such Indemnified Party against such Identifiable Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such action on behalf of and for the account, expense, and risk of such Indemnifying Parties. 33. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that an Identifiable Claim may materially adversely affect such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense, compromise, or settlement and such Indemnifying Parties shall not, without such Indemnified Party's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any Identifiable Claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to such Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such Identifiable Claim. Section 8.4 Procedure For Indemnification with Respect to Non-Third Party Claims. In the event that any Indemnified Party asserts the existence of a claim giving rise to Damages (but excluding claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties), it shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Parties. Such written notice shall state that it is being given pursuant to this Section 8.4, specify the nature and amount of the claim asserted and indicate the date on which such assertion shall be deemed accepted and the amount of the claim deemed a valid claim (such date to be established in accordance with the next sentence). If such Indemnifying Parties, within 90 days after the mailing of notice by such Indemnified Party, shall not give written notice to such Indemnified Party announcing its intent to contest such assertion of such Indemnified Party, such assertion shall be deemed accepted and the amount of claim shall be deemed a valid claim. In the event, however, that such Indemnifying Parties contest the assertion of a claim by giving such written notice to such Indemnified Party within said period, then the parties shall act in good faith to reach agreement regarding such claim. If the parties hereto, acting in good faith, cannot reach agreement with respect to such claim within ten (10) days after notice thereof, such claim will be submitted to and settled by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. Section 8.5 Limitations on Indemnification. (a) No claim or claims may be made against an Indemnifying Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or pursuant to Section 8.6 or 8.7 hereof, unless the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Section shall exceed an aggregate amount equal to $250,000, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to the indemnified party for the amount in excess of such $250,000 threshold amount. (b) In addition, the liability of any Indemnifying Party with respect to any Damages shall be determined on a basis that is net of the amount of any such Damages covered by insurance (less any deductibles or increased premiums) and net of the tax benefit received by the Indemnified Party due to deductibility of such Damages on its Federal and state corporate income tax returns. Section 8.6 Specified and Current Product Intellectual Property. Without giving effect to any of the disclosures or qualifications set forth in this Agreement, any accompanying schedule, exhibit or certificate, and subject to Sections 8.1, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, Seller covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, without giving effect to any limitations in Section 8.5, the Purchaser and each of its officers, directors and other 34. affiliates for all of the "Specified Intellectual Property Damages" in perpetuity and for any "Current Product Intellectual Property Damages" for which a claim is made pursuant to Section 8.7 below prior to three (3) years after the Time of Closing. As used herein, "Specified Intellectual Property Damages" shall include all Damages (whether incurred, accrued, asserted or alleged prior to or after the date of this Agreement) suffered or incurred by Purchaser or any of its officers, directors or other affiliates with respect to any and all claims, demands, settlements, criminal investigations, liabilities, injunctions, actions and causes of action which arise out of (or have arisen out of) or relate to claims or facts or circumstances or allegations existing prior to or following the Closing (whenever asserted or made known to the parties hereto) for the design, development, manufacture, marketing, license, sale or use of the (i) "Slurpie" products, (ii) the products of Seller relating to the Business as being produced as of the Time of Closing, (iii) products of the Business that were produced prior to the Time of Closing and (iv) improvements to such products, modifications or derivatives to such products or new or next generation products manufactured, designed or developed by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, provided that for purposes of clause (iv) hereof, the underlying claims or facts or circumstances or allegations of infringement are based on designs or implementations utilized in the products in existence prior to the Time of Closing, ("S.I.P. Covered Products", and collectively with the "CPIP Covered Products" the "Covered Products") which directly or indirectly arise out of any claims of intellectual property infringement as to patents or other intellectual property set forth in the Disclosure Letter and related Schedules or patents or other intellectual property of which Seller had knowledge or written notice prior to the Closing and which are not set forth in the Disclosure Letter and related Schedules (collectively, the "S.I.P. Covered Claims"). As used herein, "Current Product Intellectual Property Damages" shall include all Damages (whether incurred, accrued, asserted or alleged prior to or after the date of this Agreement) against or suffered or incurred by Purchaser or any of its officers, directors or other affiliates with respect to any and all claims, demands, settlements, criminal investigations, liabilities, actions and causes of action which directly or indirectly arise out of (or have arisen out of) or relate to claims or facts or circumstances or allegations existing prior to or during the three (3) years following the Closing (subject to Section 8.1 hereof, whenever asserted or made known to the parties hereto) involving any and all intellectual property matters relating to the products of Seller relating to the Business as are being produced as of the Time of Closing or products that were produced prior to the Time of Closing, including the "Slurpie" enhancements (exclusive of any improvements, modifications or enhancements to such products after the Time of Closing) (the "CPIP Covered Products") to the extent that the design, development, manufacture, marketing, license, sale or use of the CPIP Covered Products infringes any copyright, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of any third party that exists at the Time of Closing (or, in the case of patents, were granted, or to Seller's knowledge, applied for, no later then the Time of Closing) or violates any license or agreement with any third party (the "C.P.I.P. Covered Claims"). Section 8.7 Defense of Covered Claims for the Specified and Current Product Intellectual Property Damages. Purchaser shall give notice to Seller promptly within 90 days of receipt of actual written notice of any S.I.P. or C.P.I.P. Covered Claim (collectively, the "Covered Claims") as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit 35. Seller to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for Seller, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by Purchaser (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and provided further that the failure of Purchaser to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this Section 8.7, to the extent such failure is not materially prejudicial. In the event the Seller assumes the defense, the Seller shall have sole control over the management of the defense. In the event that Seller, within 20 days after receipt of the aforesaid notice of a Covered Claim fails to assume the defense of Purchaser against such Covered Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such action on behalf of and for the account, expense, and risk of Seller. Seller, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall not, except with the written consent of Purchaser, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Purchaser of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Purchaser shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as Seller may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.7 to the contrary, if there is a reasonable probability that a Covered Claim may materially adversely affect Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such defense, compromise, or settlement. Section 8.8 Limitation on Purchaser Covenants. In the event of any Covered Claim, Purchaser agrees to use reasonable efforts, provided such efforts will not be materially burdensome or costly to Purchaser, to modify any product that is the subject of a Covered Claim so as to cause such product to not infringe the third party patent or other intellectual property rights giving rise to such claim. Any intentional failure by Purchaser to use such reasonable efforts shall not provide an absolute limitation to Purchaser's indemnification rights hereunder, but Purchaser's Damages shall be deemed reduced to the extent that Purchaser's Damages could have been materially reduced had Purchaser exercised such reasonable efforts as set forth herein. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Sections 8.6 and 8.7 shall provide the sole and exclusive basis upon which Purchaser shall be entitled to assert Covered Claims to the extent that any Covered Claim shall also constitute a breach by Seller of its warranties and representations contained in Section 4.1(l) hereof. Section 8.9 Accounts Receivable Collection. Following the AR Closing, Purchaser agrees to: (i) use reasonable commercial efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable (and such efforts shall be no less diligent in all material respects than Purchaser uses to collect its accounts receivable generated in its own operations); (ii) apply Seller's written standard accounts receivable collection practices in the collection of the Accounts Receivable; (iii) apply proceeds received by Seller from debtors under the Accounts Receivable in order of maturity of the Accounts Receivable (and other existing accounts receivable of Purchaser from the same debtor); and (iv) not intentionally compromise, cancel, excuse or modify in any material respect any Accounts Receivable without Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the foregoing, regardless of any disclosure and to the extent that Purchaser is required to record a write-off with respect to all or any portion of the Accounts Receivable in connection with the preparation of its year 36. ended December 31, 1998 audited financial statements, Seller hereby agrees to fully indemnify, without limitation as set forth in Section 8.5, and pay Purchaser in cash within ten (10) days of notice from Purchaser fifty percent (50%) of the amount of Accounts Receivables to be written off. To the extent any Accounts Receivable shall be written off by Purchaser as provided in this Section 8.8, Purchaser agrees, on Seller's request, to assign such Accounts Receivable to Seller, which, following such assignment, shall have the exclusive right to collect such Account Receivable. To the extent Purchaser shall collect monies on such Accounts Receivable, Purchaser shall apply such monies first to recover its out-of-pocket costs for collection and then shall retain 50% of the remaining collected proceeds for its own account and promptly remit 50% of such proceeds to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser writes off any Accounts Receivable in connection with this Section 8.9 or otherwise, Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the underlying product relating to such Accounts Receivable. ARTICLE IX TERMINATION Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Time of Closing: (a) by Purchaser or Seller, if the Closing is not consummated within three (3) months of the date hereof; (b) by mutual agreement of the Board of Directors of Purchaser and the Board of Directors of Seller; (c) by Purchaser, if there has been a breach by Seller of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement which Seller fails to cure within fifteen (15) business days after notice thereof is given by Purchaser (except that no cure period shall be provided for a breach by Seller which by its nature cannot be cured); (d) by Seller, if there has been a breach by Purchaser of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, which Purchaser fails to cure within fifteen (15) business days after notice thereof is given by Seller (except that no cure period shall be provided for a breach by Purchaser which by its nature cannot be cured); (e) by Purchaser or Seller, if any permanent injunction or other order of a court preventing the Closing shall have become final and nonappealable or shall render unlikely within a reasonable period of time the consummation of the Closing on the terms contemplated hereby; (f) by Purchaser or Seller, if any Governmental Entity shall have issued a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction or other 37. order preventing the consummation of the Closing or any litigation shall be pending, the ultimate resolution of which is likely (i) in Purchaser's opinion to result in the issuance of such an order or injunction, or the imposition against Purchaser of substantial damages if the Closing is consummated, or (ii) in Purchaser's or Seller's opinion to render Purchaser or Seller unable to consummate the Closing; or (g) by Purchaser or Seller, if the inquiry by the Federal Trade Commission under HSR shall not have received early termination or any applicable HSR waiting period shall have expired by March 26, 1998. Section 9.2 Authorization. Where action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, it shall be sufficient authorization for such action to be authorized by the Board of Directors of the party taking such action. Section 9.3 Survival.

Except to the extent that a party hereto may have otherwise agreed in writing, no waiver by that party of any condition of this Agreement or breach by the other party of any of its obligations or representations hereunder or thereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other condition or subsequent or prior breach of the same or any other obligation or representation by the other party, nor shall any forbearance by the first party to seek a remedy for any noncompliance or breach by the other party be deemed to be a waiver by the first party of its rights and remedies with respect to such noncompliance or breach. Section 10.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries.
