PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF MERGER

This PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of July 19, 2002, by and among Avocent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Cybex Computer Products Corporation, an Alabama corporation (“Cybex”), Cybex Acquisition Corp., an Alabama corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Cybex (the “Subsidiary”), 2C Computing, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“Target”) (the Subsidiary and Target being sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Constituent Corporations”) and David S. Butler, solely in his capacity as Escrow Representative (as defined in Section 9.1(f) hereof).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the respective Board of Directors of Parent, Cybex, Subsidiary and Target have approved the merger of the Subsidiary with and into Target (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby all of the issued and outstanding shares of Target common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Target Common Stock”) and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Target Series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Target Preferred Stock” and together with the Target Common Stock collectively referred to as the “Target Stock”) not owned directly or indirectly by Target, Parent or Cybex, will be converted into the Merger Consideration (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, each of Parent, Cybex, Subsidiary and Target desires to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to and inducement for Parent, Cybex, and Subsidiary entering into this Agreement and incurring the obligations set forth herein, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent is entering into a voting agreement with each of Remigius Shatas and Robert Asprey dated the date hereof and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

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

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Alabama Business Corporation Act (the “Alabama Law”) and with the effect provided therein, the Subsidiary shall be merged with and into Target at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3 hereof). Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Subsidiary shall cease and Target shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) under the name “2C Computing, Inc.” and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Subsidiary and Target in accordance with the

Alabama Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time of the Merger, (a) the Surviving Corporation shall possess all assets and property of every description, and every interest therein, wherever located, and the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority, of a public as well as of a private nature, of each of the Constituent Corporations, (b) all obligations belonging to or due each of the Constituent Corporations shall be vested in, and become the obligations of, the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed, (c) title to any real estate or any interest therein vested in either of the Constituent Corporations shall not revert or in any way be impaired by reason of the Merger, (d) all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of either of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, (e) the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for all of the debts and obligations of each of the Constituent Corporations, and any claim existing, or action or proceeding pending, by or against either of the Constituent Corporations may be prosecuted to judgment with right of appeal, as if the Merger had not taken place, and (f) the Surviving Corporation shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cybex.

1.2 The Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at such time and on such date as is agreed upon by the parties (the “Closing Date”), which (subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement) shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement at such location as the parties may agree, unless another date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall file articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Alabama Law and shall make all other filings or records required under the Alabama Law as soon as practical on or after the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are accepted for record by the Secretary of State of Alabama, or at such other time as Cybex and Target shall agree as specified in the Articles of Merger but not exceeding 30 days after the Articles of Merger are accepted for record by the Secretary of State of Alabama (the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the following effects on the Constituent Corporations:

(a) Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Target shall become the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time and until thereafter amended as provided by law.

(b) Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The Bylaws of the Subsidiary shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time and until thereafter altered, amended or repealed in accordance with the Alabama Law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and the Bylaws.

(c) Directors. The directors of the Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation 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 Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and applicable law.

(d) Officers. The officers of the Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation 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 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(e) Assets, Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the assets, liabilities, reserves and accounts of each of the Constituent Corporations shall be taken upon the books of the Surviving Corporation at the amounts at which they respectively shall be carried on the books of such corporations immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and subject to such adjustments, or elimination of intercompany items, as may be appropriate in giving effect to the Merger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE STOCK OF

THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Effect on Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any stock of either of the Constituent Corporations:

(a) Cancellation of Target-Owned Stock. Each share of Target Stock that is owned by Target, Parent or Cybex, or by any of their direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the shares of Target Stock owned by Mobility Electronics, Inc. (“Mobility”) which shall be acquired by Cybex or Parent prior to the Effective Time) shall automatically be canceled, retired and extinguished, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Subsidiary Stock. Each share of capital stock of the Subsidiary shall be exchanged for one share of Target Common Stock.

(c) Conversion of Target Stock. Subject to Sections 2.1(a), 2.5, and 2.6 hereof, each issued and outstanding share of Target Stock (other than Target Dissenting Shares, shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a) and the shares of Target Preferred Stock held by Mobility, which will be acquired by Cybex in a separate transaction prior to the Closing and which in all events shall be voted by Cybex (either (i) directly if acquired prior to the record date, or (ii) by a proxy granted to Cybex by Mobility if acquired after the record date) in favor of the Merger and in favor of any matter relating to consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Exchanging Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent following the Merger an amount of cash (the “Merger Consideration”) equal to $17,493,135 in the aggregate for all of the Exchanging Shares, which shall be allocated among the holders of the Exchanging Shares as set forth on Exhibit B (such holders defined as the “Exchanging Shareholders”). Target shall update and keep current Exhibit B as new purchases of Target Stock are made, including without limitation, purchase through the exercise of stock options. At the

Closing, each Exchanging Shareholder will be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause to be paid upon presentation of the Certificates (as defined herein) and other documents required by this Agreement, his proportionate share of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Merger Consideration (the “Closing Merger Consideration”), and the remaining fifteen percent (15%) of the Merger Consideration (the “Deferred Merger Consideration”) will be deposited into an escrow account in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof. As of the Effective Time, all such Exchanging Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate evidencing any Exchanging Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor without interest upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.2.

(d) Target Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each of the then outstanding options to purchase Target Stock (collectively, the “Target Options”) (consisting of all outstanding options granted under Target’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Target Plan”), and any individual non-Plan options) will by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Parent in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the Effective Time) of the Target Plan and the stock option agreement by which such Target Option is evidenced, and thereupon such Target Options shall be converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of the common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) determined by multiplying the number of shares of Target Stock subject to such Target Option at the Effective Time by a fraction (the “Applicable Ratio”), the numerator of which is $6.00 and the denominator of which is the average closing price of the Parent Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the three (3) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Parent Stock Price”), at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to $5.00 divided by the Applicable Ratio rounded up to the nearest cent. If the foregoing calculation results in a Target Option being exercisable for a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, then the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such option will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, with no cash being payable for such fractional share. The term, exerciseability, and vesting schedule of the Target Options will otherwise be unchanged. Within forty-five (45) days following the Closing, Parent and Cybex shall make all filings (including the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8), and take all other necessary and appropriate actions related thereto, with respect to all outstanding Target Options, which are assumed by Parent and converted into Parent options in connection with the Merger.

2.2 Adjustments for Capital Changes If, prior to the Effective Time, Target recapitalizes through a subdivision of its outstanding shares into a greater number of shares, or a combination of its outstanding shares into a lesser number of shares, or reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its outstanding shares into the same or a different number of shares of other classes, or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares payable in shares of its capital stock or securities convertible into shares of its capital stock, then the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted appropriately so as to maintain the aggregate Merger Consideration.

2.3 Acquisition of Convertible Debt. At the Closing, the convertible debt of the Target will be acquired by Cybex for an aggregate amount of $1,417,625 (the “Debt Consideration”), which will be allocated among the holders of Target convertible debt as set forth on Exhibit C (which Exhibit C shall include the amount to be paid to each holder following Closing and the amount to be held in the Escrow Account with respect to each Debt Holder) (such holders defined as the “Debt Holders”). At the Closing, each Debt Holder will be entitled to receive, and Parent shall

cause to be paid upon presentation of the original notes underlying the Target convertible debt (as set forth in Section 2.5(b)) and other documents required by this Agreement, his proportionate share of the Debt Consideration minus the lesser of (a) fifteen percent (15%) of the Debt Consideration, or (b) such Debt Holder’s profit in such Target convertible debt, (the “Closing Debt Consideration”). The remaining amount of Debt Consideration (the “Deferred Debt Consideration”) will be deposited into an escrow account in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.

2.4. Escrow. Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, the Escrow Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with an escrow agent which shall be Heritage Bank (Huntsville, Alabama) or such other banking institution as shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Escrow Representative (the “Escrow Agent”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D (subject to revisions required by the Escrow Agent and agreed to by the parties). At the Closing, Parent or Cybex shall deposit into an escrow account established and held by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) an amount equal to the Deferred Merger Consideration plus the Deferred Debt Consideration (collectively, the “Indemnification Fund”). The Indemnification Fund will be utilized to pay claims to Parent, Cybex, and the Surviving Corporation for any breach by Target of its representations, warranties and covenants, as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof. Subject to claims pursuant to Section 9.1, fifty percent (50%) of the amount remaining in the Indemnification Fund will be released on February 28, 2003, and the balance remaining in the Indemnification Fund, including accrued interest, will be released on the first anniversary of the Closing. On each such release, each Exchanging Shareholder will receive his proportionate part of the Deferred Merger Consideration, and each Debt Holder will receive his proportionate part of the Deferred Debt Consideration, reduced ratably by any claims against the Indemnification Fund.

2.5 Exchange of Certificates and Convertible Debt Instruments.

(a) Exchange Procedures — Target Stock. Before the meeting of Target’s shareholders to consider the Merger, Cybex shall permit Target to mail to each holder of record of the Target Stock the following items in the form set out on Exhibit E hereto for use by each shareholder who does not accept the rescission offer of Target to be made to its current and former shareholders as provided in Section 6.1(c) hereof (the “Rescission Offer”): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon delivery of the Certificates, to Cybex and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Cybex may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration (collectively, the “Merger Presentation Documents”). Each certificate representing Target Stock which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidences Exchanging Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 (collectively, the “Certificates”). Upon surrender of a Certificate by a Target shareholder (including persons who purchase Exchanging Shares prior to the Effective Time upon the exercise of the Target Options) to Cybex, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Cybex, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause Cybex to pay, in exchange therefor the Closing Merger Consideration as set forth on Exhibit F, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Exchanging Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of Target, payment of the Closing Merger Consideration may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the

Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Closing Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Cybex that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration that the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate pursuant to this Article II. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. The Escrow Representative shall have the right to present the Merger Presentation Documents and related Certificates to Cybex at Closing for immediate payment; and, in such event, shall be entitled to receive the Closing Merger Consideration for each Exchanging Shareholder named therein.

(b) Exchange Procedures — Convertible Debt. Upon delivery to Cybex of the original notes underlying the Target convertible debt, the Debt Holder shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause Cybex to pay, in exchange therefor the Closing Debt Consideration as set forth on Exhibit G, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5, each note shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive upon such surrender the Debt Consideration that the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such convertible debt pursuant to this Article II. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of such convertible debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article II unless Cybex fails to tender such Debt Consideration within five (5) days following the Closing. The Escrow Representative shall have the right to present each Debt Holder’s original note at Closing for immediate payment of the Closing Debt Consideration, and in such event, shall be entitled to receive payment for each Debt Holder named therein.

(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Cybex shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof; provided, however, that Cybex may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Cybex or Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights. All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and notes in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Exchanging Shares or Target convertible debt theretofore evidenced by such Certificates or notes. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Target Stock, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or convertible debt instruments are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by law.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Cybex, Subsidiary or Target shall be liable to any person in respect of any Merger Consideration or Debt Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates or convertible debt instruments shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration or Debt Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental entity), any such Merger Consideration or Debt Consideration shall be deemed abandoned and shall escheat under applicable law.

2.6 Target Shareholders’ Dissenters’ Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Target Stock held by a holder who has exercised and perfected dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the Alabama Law and who, as of the Effective Time of the Merger, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenters’ rights (“Target Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the Alabama Law.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), if any holder of Target Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his or her dissenters’ rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificates representing such shares in accordance with this Article II.

(c) Target shall give Cybex (1) prompt notice of any written demand for payment received by Target pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Alabama Law and (2) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Target shall not, except with the prior written consent of Cybex, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. All amounts of Merger Consideration which, except for the exercise of dissenters’ rights, would be due to the Dissenting Shares shall be held by Cybex and contributed to the payment of fair value in respect of the Dissenting Shares.

(d) Target Dissenting Shares, if any, after payment of fair value in respect thereto have been made to dissenting shareholders of Target pursuant to the Alabama Law, shall be canceled.

2.7 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target, the officers and directors of Target will take all such lawful and necessary action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Subsidiary, the officers and directors of Subsidiary will take all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TARGET

Target represents and warrants to Parent and Cybex, subject to the exceptions specifically disclosed in writing in the disclosure schedules supplied by Target to Cybex (the “Disclosure Schedules”), that the statements in this Article III are true. The Disclosure Schedules shall be arranged in sections and paragraphs corresponding to the numbered sections and paragraphs (and subparagraphs) contained in this Article III, and the disclosure in any paragraph shall qualify only the corresponding Section or paragraph in this Article III or other sections to which it is clearly apparent (from a plain reading of the disclosure or by cross reference) that such disclosure relates. All references to this Article III or to any Section or provision hereof shall be deemed to include all Disclosure Schedules related thereto.

3.1 Organization of Target.

(a) Target is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and property and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted; and is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 9.3) on Target.

(b) Target has no subsidiaries. Target has an equity interest in and is a member of CyCom, LLC, and such equity interest is owned by Target, free and clear of all liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances, security interests, claims and options of any nature (collectively, “Liens”). Such interest is described on Section 3.1(b) of the Disclosure Schedules. Except for such CyCom equity interest, Target owns no other equity securities, partnership interests, joint venture interests, or similar ownership interests or any security exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such equity securities, partnership interests, joint venture interests or similar ownership interests.

(c) Target has delivered or made available to Cybex a true and correct copy of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Target, each as amended to date, and each such instrument is in full force and effect. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(c) of the Disclosure Schedules, Target is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent governing instruments.

3.2 Target Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Target consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which there were 2,500,000 shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, and 2,700,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 1,200,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which there were 1,038,000 shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. All outstanding shares of Target Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedules, are not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Target or any agreement or document to which Target is a party or by which it is bound. As of July 12, 2002, Target had reserved an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Target Common Stock, net of exercises, for issuance to employees, consultants and non-employee directors pursuant to the Target Plan (including, without limitation, the options

issued to non-employee directors with respect to their attendance at meetings of Target’s Board of Directors), under which options are outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 925,000 shares (of which the option to purchase 500,000 shares granted to Shatas Partners, Ltd. shall be canceled at Closing upon payment of the Closing Merger Consideration) and under which 575,000 shares are available for grant as of the date hereof. The representations in this Section 3.2 as to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Target Stock and as to the number of options to purchase Target Stock may be changed to reflect the options issued to non-employee directors in connection with their attendance at meetings of Target’s Board of Directors. All shares of Target Common Stock subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, would be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the issuances, sales, transfers, and purchases of securities of Target have been in compliance with all agreements to which Target is a party and all applicable laws, including without limitation, the requirements of the federal securities laws and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws except as described on Schedule 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedules. Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedules lists each outstanding option to acquire shares of Target Common Stock at July 12, 2002, the name of the holder of such option, the number of shares subject to such option, the exercise price of such option, the number of shares as to which such option will have vested at such date, the vesting schedule for such option and whether the exerciseability of such option will be accelerated in any way by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for any other reason, and indicate the extent of acceleration, if any.

3.3 Obligations With Respect to Capital Stock. Except as set forth in Section 3.2, there are no equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests of any class of Target capital stock, or any securities exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 3.2, there are no options, warrants, equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests, calls, rights (including preemptive rights), commitments or agreements of any character to which Target or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound obligating Target to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or cause the repurchase, redemption or acquisition, of any shares of capital stock of Target or obligating Target to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of or enter into any such option, warrant, equity security, partnership interest or similar ownership interest, call, right, commitment or agreement. There are no registration rights and, to the knowledge of Target, there are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings with respect to any equity security of any class of Target, in all events except as contemplated by this Agreement. Target has no outstanding stock appreciation rights, phantom stock or similar rights.

3.4 Authority; No Conflict.

(a) Target has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Target, subject only to the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the Merger by Target’s Shareholders and the filing and recordation of the Articles of Merger pursuant to Alabama Law and such other conditions as are set forth herein. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Target and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Target, enforceable in accordance with its terms,

The Information Statement shall not, at the time it is first mailed to the Shareholders or at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No material amendment or supplement to the Information Statement will be made by Target without the approval of Parent or Cybex. Target will take all action necessary in accordance with Alabama Law and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to convene the Target Shareholders’ meeting, for the purpose of voting upon this Agreement and the Merger. Target will take all action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the Target Shareholders required by Alabama Law and all other applicable legal requirements to obtain such approvals. At least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Target Common Stock and the Target

Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the Merger.

(b) The Board of Directors of Target shall unanimously recommend that Target’s Shareholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger at the Target Shareholders’ meeting and neither the Board of Directors of Target, nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Cybex, the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors of Target that the Target Shareholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve this Agreement and approve the Merger.

ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Survival Period; Indemnification; Escrow Representative.

(a) Survival. The representations and warranties of Target contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of one year from the Closing Date. The covenants of Target, Parent, Cybex and Subsidiary that by their terms survive the Effective Time shall survive the Effective Time.

(b) Indemnification. Notwithstanding the Closing and regardless of any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Parent, Cybex, or Subsidiary, Target shall indemnify Parent, Cybex, Subsidiary and their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel (collectively the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims (including claims based upon intentional or willful fraud), loss, liability, damage, cost or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action, or proceeding, but net of any insurance proceeds) arising out of or resulting from, and will pay each of the Parent Indemnified Parties on demand the full amount of any sum or sums which each of the Parent Indemnified Parties may pay or become obligated to pay on account of: (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or the material breach of any warranty made by Target herein or (ii) any failure of Target duly to perform or observe any term, provision, covenant, agreement, or condition to be performed or observed as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent, Cybex, and Subsidiary shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1 which arises out of facts and circumstances of which any of them or their representatives has knowledge on

or prior to the Effective Time. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees as follows: (i) the indemnity provided in this Section 9.1 is intended to be and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnified Parties regarding any matter touching upon or relating to the negotiation, entry of, consummation and closing of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) except for intentional or willful fraud, the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders shall have no liability for any indemnification claims or otherwise in excess of the Indemnification Fund to the extent, and only to the extent, available for the payment thereof from time to time; provided, however, that the Parent Indemnified Parties shall, after exhaustion of the Indemnification Fund, pursue claims based upon intentional or willful fraud against those persons or entities alleged to have actually engaged in such fraud.

(i) In case of the assertion in writing of any claim initiated or asserted by any person, firm, governmental authority or corporation other than Parent, Cybex or any affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) against Target or any Parent Indemnified Party or the commencement of any litigation asserting a Third Party Claim which may give rise to any indemnification to any Parent Indemnified Party under the provisions of this Section 9.1, such Parent Indemnified Party shall give the notice thereof to the Escrow Representative (as defined in Section 9.1(f)) as provided hereunder as promptly as practicable after receipt of such written assertion or the commencement of such litigation unless the failure to give notice would not materially prejudice the Exchanging Shareholders or Debt Holders. Each Parent Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to settling such claim or litigation (subject to the consent of the Escrow Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) after giving reasonable notice of the same on such terms as such Parent Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Escrow Representative will cause the Escrow Agent to promptly reimburse each Parent Indemnified Party out of the Indemnification Fund in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 and the Escrow Agreement, provided that each Parent Indemnified Party shall furnish the Escrow Representative with copies of all pleadings and other material documents in connection with any such claim or litigation and the Escrow Representative is consulted about (although not in control of) such litigation. The Escrow Representative shall make available or cause to be made available to each Parent Indemnified Party such books and records as such Parent Indemnified Party may reasonably require in connection with such defense and shall use his commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate with any other reasonable request of such Parent Indemnified Party for assistance in such defense. The Escrow Representative shall have the right to retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(d) Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Escrow Representative.

(e) Limitations on Indemnification. No Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 until the aggregate amount of such indemnification claims exceeds $50,000, at which time claimants may seek indemnification on all such claims in excess of such amount. Except for claims based upon intentional or willful fraud, the aggregate liability of the Target for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 shall not exceed the amount of the Indemnification Fund, plus any interest accrued thereon.

(f) Escrow Representative. By approval of this Agreement in accordance with Alabama Law, the Exchanging Shareholders hereby appoint David S. Butler to serve as the Escrow Representative pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. David S. Butler and any successor or successors shall act as the representative of the Exchanging Shareholders and the Debt Holders, and shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Escrow Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, with respect to any claims (including the settlement thereof) made by Parent, Cybex or Subsidiary for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.1 and with respect to any actions to be taken by the Escrow Representative pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders shall be bound by all actions taken by the Escrow Representative in its capacity thereof, except for any action that conflicts with the limitation set forth in the final sentence of this Section 9.1(f). The Escrow Representative shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days, provide written notice to the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders of any action taken on behalf of the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders by the Escrow Representative pursuant to the authority delegated to the Escrow Representative under this Section 9.1(f). The Escrow Representative shall at all times act in his or her capacity as Escrow Representative in a manner that the Escrow Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders. Neither the Escrow Representative (nor any of its directors, officers, agents or any employees, if applicable) shall be liable to any person for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Escrow Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by him or her and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants or experts. The Escrow Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Representative shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action. Each Exchanging Shareholder and Debt Holder severally shall indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse the Escrow Representative from and against such Exchanging Shareholder’s and Debt Holder’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, cost or expenses suffered or incurred by the Escrow Representative arising out of or resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Escrow Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, or expenses arising out of or resulting from the Escrow Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. The Escrow Representative is hereby authorized to, and shall, (i) accept on behalf of any Exchanging Shareholder any Deferred Merger Consideration to which such Exchanging Shareholder is entitled under this Agreement and (ii) accept on behalf of any Debt Holder any Deferred Debt Consideration to which such Debt Holder is entitled under this Agreement. The Escrow Representative shall promptly pay any such Deferred Merger Consideration or Deferred Debt Consideration to the Exchanging Shareholder or Debt Holder entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In all matters relating to this Section 9.1, the Escrow Representative shall be the only party entitled to assert the rights of the Exchanging Shareholders and the Debt Holders, and the Escrow Representative shall perform all of the obligations of the Exchanging Shareholders and Debt Holders hereunder. Parent and Cybex shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, and decisions of the Escrow Representative.

9.3 Interpretation; Knowledge.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When reference is made herein to “the business of” an entity, such reference shall be deemed to include the business of all direct and indirect subsidiaries of such entity. Reference to the subsidiaries of an entity shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect subsidiaries of such entity.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge” means, with respect to any matter in question, that the executive officers of Target or Cybex, as the case may be, have actual knowledge of such matter.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” when used in connection with an entity means any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets), capitalization, financial condition or results of operations of such entity and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that in no event shall (A) a decrease in such entity’s stock price or the failure to meet or exceed Wall Street research analysts’ or such entity’s internal earnings or other estimates or projections in and of itself constitute a Material Adverse Effect or (B) any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that results from (x) the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) changes affecting the network device industry generally or (z) changes affecting the United States economy generally, constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “commercially reasonable best efforts” means the efforts that a prudent person or entity desirous of achieving a result would use in similar circumstances to ensure that such result is achieved as expeditiously as possible; provided, however, that an obligation to use commercially reasonable best efforts under this Agreement does not require the person or entity subject to that obligation to take actions that would result in a Material Adverse Effect on such person or entity or that would materially reduce the benefits to such person or entity of this Agreement and the Merger.

9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

9.5 Entire Agreement. Except as the parties may otherwise expressly agree in writing from time to time, this Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Disclosure Schedules, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this

Agreement; and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, except as set forth herein.

9.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.7 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as provided in Section 9.1(b) and 9.1(e) and except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

9.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

9.10 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
