negotiate in good faith to reach agreement upon a final allocation.
Additionally, Purchaser and Seller will (i) reflect the Purchased Assets in

     2.4 Payments by Purchaser.

         (a) On the day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall in good faith
prepare and deliver to Purchaser a certificate (the "Closing Statement")
containing (i) a pro forma estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing
Date (the "Estimated Net Working Capital") and (ii) a pro forma estimate of the

which will be subject to examination and agreement by Purchaser as to
reasonableness. The Estimated Net Working Capital is to be determined in
accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2.4. Purchaser and Seller

                                       10

Working Capital.

         (b) Payments required to be made on the Closing Date pursuant to this
Section 2.4 will be determined on the basis of the Closing Statement and the
Preliminary Net Working Capital Adjustment, as provided herein.

         (c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an aggregate amount
equal to Purchase Price, as adjusted by the Preliminary Net Working Capital
Adjustment (the "Cash Payment"), in cash by wire transfer to an account

prior to the Closing Date.

     2.5 Final Net Working Capital Statement; Final Working Capital Adjustment.

cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a final statement of Net Working
Capital (the "Final Net Working Capital Statement") setting forth the Net
Working Capital of Seller as of the Closing Date (the "Final Net Working
Capital") and the final Working Capital Adjustment (the "Final Net Working
Capital Adjustment"). The Final Net Working Capital Statement is to be prepared
in accordance with the principles set forth on Schedule 2.4.

of any dispute Seller has with respect to the preparation or content of the
Final Net Working Capital Statement. Such notice must describe in reasonable
detail the items contained in the Final Net Working Capital Statement that
Seller disputes and the basis for any such dispute. If Seller does not notify
Purchaser of a dispute with respect to the Final Net Working Capital Statement
within such 45-day period, such Final Net Working Capital Statement will be
final, conclusive and binding on the parties. In the event of a notification of
a dispute by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to
resolve such dispute. If Purchaser and Seller fail to resolve such dispute
within thirty (30) days after Seller advises Purchaser of its objections, then
Purchaser and Seller jointly shall engage the Independent Accountants to resolve
such dispute. The Independent Accountants shall only consider those items and
amounts set forth on the Final Net Working Capital Statement as to which

determination of the Independent Accountants, absent fraud, shall be deemed a

Working Capital Adjustment hereunder, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be,

the Final Working Capital Adjustment, is greater or less than the Purchase Price
as adjusted by the Preliminary Net Working Capital Adjustment (such difference
being the "Closing Purchase Price Reconciliation"). If the Closing Purchase
Price Reconciliation is positive, Purchaser shall promptly pay such difference
to Seller. If the Closing Purchase Price Reconciliation is negative, Seller
shall promptly pay such difference to Purchaser. If Purchaser or Seller fails to
pay any amount owing pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) within five (5) business

manufacture or otherwise in any products manufactured, distributed or sold by
the Business during the past three (3) years or any defect in repair to any such
products which could give rise to any claims in excess of historical warranty

         (c) Except as provided in any of the standard product warranties
provided to Purchaser or as set forth on Schedule 4.23, the Business has not

                            COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

     Seller and Purchaser each covenant and agree with the other as follows:

     6.1 Consents. Subject to Section 6.2(a) below, between the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate with each
other in obtaining the consents identified in Schedule 6.1 to this Agreement.

     6.2 Cooperation.

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser
and Seller shall each use its respective commercially reasonable efforts, in
good faith, to take or cause to be taken all action reasonably necessary or
desirable on its part so as to permit consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement on or at the earliest reasonably practicable date
including, without limitation, any consents or approvals of third persons as
contemplated by Section 6.1 above. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party
shall cooperate and take such action and execute such other and further
documents as reasonably may be requested from time to time after the Closing
Date by any other party to carry out the terms and provisions and intent of this
Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, no party
hereto shall knowingly take or fail to take any action that would substantially
impair the prospects of, or materially delay, completing the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

         (b) Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller shall give prompt
notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Seller, of (i)
the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event known to it which occurrence
or failure would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at any time from the date
hereof to the Closing Date such that the condition set forth in Section 7.1 or
8.1, as applicable, would not be met if such failure to be true or accurate were
to occur or be continuing on the Closing Date, and (ii) any material failure of
Seller or Purchaser known to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to comply
with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it hereunder, and each party shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to remedy such failure.

         (c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated without the
transactions contemplated hereby having been consummated, upon the request of
Seller, Purchaser will and will cause its representatives to promptly redeliver
or cause to be redelivered, all copies of documents and information furnished by
Seller, as the case may be, or its representatives to such party and its
representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda,
summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based
thereon prepared by Purchaser or its representatives.


                                       28



         (d) Each party shall provide the other party with such historical
financial information regarding it as the other party may reasonably request for
disclosure purposes under the Securities Laws.

     6.3 Press Releases. Seller and Purchaser shall agree with each other as to
the form and substance of any press release prior to Closing related to this
Agreement, and shall consult each other as to the form and substance of other
public disclosures related thereto; provided, however, that nothing contained
herein shall prohibit either party, following notification to the other party or
after the Closing, from making any disclosure which is required by any
Governmental Requirement or any requirement of the New York Stock Exchange.

     6.4 Actions Pending the Closing.

         (a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, and except as
otherwise provided for by this Agreement, or consented to or approved by
Purchaser, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve in
all material respects its properties, business and relationships with customers,
employees and other Persons in the usual, regular and ordinary course in
substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted.

         (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.4(a), above, from the
date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall not, except with the prior
written consent of Purchaser and except as expressly contemplated or permitted
by this Agreement:

               (i) carry on its business other than in the usual, regular and
ordinary course in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted;

               (ii) incur any indebtedness in an amount greater than $10,000;

               (iii) amend its governing or organizational documents;

               (iv) waive or release any material right or cancel or compromise
any material debt or claim;

               (v) liquidate or sell or dispose of any Purchased Assets or
acquire any material assets other than in the usual, regular and ordinary course
in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted;

               (vi) increase the rate of compensation of, pay or agree to pay
any bonus to, or provide any other employee benefit or incentive to, any of its
directors, officers or employees, except in a manner consistent with past
practice or as required by law or contractual obligation in effect as of the
date hereof;

               (vii) knowingly take any action, or knowingly fail to take any
action, that would render any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
Seller in this Agreement inaccurate or breached such that the conditions in
Section 8.1 or 8.2 will not be satisfied; or

               (viii) agree or consent to do any of the foregoing.


                                       29



     6.5 Seller's Employees.

         (a) After the Closing Date (or as soon thereafter as may be
practicable), Purchaser shall offer employment to substantially all of Seller's
employees on such terms and conditions (including benefits) as may be determined
by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion but which in the aggregate will be
comparable to the terms and conditions under which such Seller's employees were
employed prior to the Closing Date, but not superior to the employment terms
provided to Purchaser's own employees on the Closing Date. For purposes of
determining eligibility for and vesting of such employee benefits (and not for
benefit accrual purposes), service with Seller or any predecessor thereto prior
to the Closing Date shall be treated as service with an "employer" to the same
extent as if such persons had been employees of Purchaser. This Section 6.5(a)
shall not be construed to limit the ability of Purchaser to terminate the
employment of any employee at any time for any reason or to review employee
benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes as they deem
appropriate.

         (b) Seller is responsible for providing all notices and other
communications to Seller's employees that are required under the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

     6.6 Other Agreements.

         (a) Each of the individuals listed on Schedule 6.6(a) attached hereto
shall enter into a Guaranty Agreement with Purchaser, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Personal Guaranties").

         (b) The Members shall each enter into a five (5) year Non-Competition
Agreement with Purchaser, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Non-Competition Agreements").

         (c) Purchaser shall enter into an employment agreement with those
employees listed on Schedule 6.6(c) in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the "Employment Agreements").

         (d) Seller's landlord, Farrell Properties, LLC ("Seller's Landlord")
and Purchaser, will (i) enter into a Real Estate Purchase Contract for the real
property leased and used by the Business and located at 10675 Naples Street NE,
Blaine Minnesota (the "Real Estate Purchase Contract").

         (e) Janus Medical and Purchaser will enter into a Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement in connection with Janus Medical's sale of all of its
outstanding membership interests in Chambers Medical, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the
"Chambers Sale Agreement").

     6.7 Use of Name. After the Closing, neither Seller nor any of its
Affiliates will use the name "Quan Emerteq" or any trade name included within
the Intellectual Property owned by Seller or used in the Business and being
conveyed to Purchaser, any derivative or variation thereof or any name similar
thereto.


                                       30



     6.8 Non-Competition and Confidentiality.

         (a) In consideration of the Purchase Price and Purchaser's covenants
set forth in this Agreement the Seller agrees that, for the period beginning on
the Closing Date and ending five (5) years thereafter (the "Covenant Period"),
it will not:

               (i) directly or indirectly, for its own account or as an agent,
trustee, consultant or member, partner, shareholder or other equity holder of
any corporation, firm, company, partnership or other entity (other than as an
owner of 1% or less of any class of publicly traded securities), or otherwise,
anywhere in the world, design, manufacture, sell, distribute or market or
attempt to sell, distribute or market any product or service that is
competitive, directly or indirectly, with the Business (the "Restricted
Activity"), or call on or solicit business from any current customer of the
Business or any customer who has purchased products or services from the
Business within 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement for any Restricted
Activity.

               (ii) employ or solicit the employment of any person who was
employed by Seller (or by any of Seller's Affiliates if in connection with the
Business) on the date of this Agreement or within six (6) months prior to such
date.

In the event of a breach by Seller or its Affiliates of any covenant set forth
in Subsections 6.8(a)(i) or 6.8(a)(ii), the term of such covenant will be
extended by the period of the duration of such breach.

         (b) Seller has had access to and has gained knowledge with respect to
the Business, including trade secrets, financial results and information,
processes and techniques, cost data, methods of doing business and information
concerning customers and suppliers and other valuable and confidential
information relating to the Business (the "Confidential Information"). Seller
acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or misuse of the Confidential
Information, whether before or after Closing, will cause irreparable damage to
Purchaser subsequent to the Closing. Seller agrees that covenants by it not to
make unauthorized disclosures of the Confidential Information are essential to
the growth and stability of the Business. Accordingly, Seller agrees that it
will not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Business, other
than information generally available to the public through sources other than
Seller and its Members.

     6.9 Remedies. The covenants contained in Section 6.8 relate to matters
which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of
any of the terms of Section 6.8 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, the
amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be
adequately compensated. Therefore, Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction,
restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction in the event of any breach of Section 6.8, and Seller hereby
consents to the granting by any court of an injunction or other equitable
relief, without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved, in order
that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively
restrained. The rights and remedies provided by Section 6.8 are cumulative and
in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder
or at law or in equity.


                                       31



     6.10 Access to Records and Personnel.

         (a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Seller and
its Representatives will have reasonable access to (including the right to make
copies of) all books and records of Seller transferred to Purchaser hereunder,
and to all former employees of Seller having knowledge with respect thereto, to
the extent that such access may reasonably be required in connection with
matters relating to (i) liabilities of Seller not assumed by Purchaser
hereunder, (ii) all matters as to which Seller is required to provide
indemnification under this Agreement, or (iii) the preparation of any Tax
Returns required to be filed by Seller with respect to any periods prior to the
Closing. Such access will be afforded by Purchaser upon receipt of reasonable
advance notice and during normal business hours, provided such access does not
unduly disrupt Purchaser's normal business operations. Seller will be solely
responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section.
If Purchaser wishes to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the
expiration of the six-year period, Purchaser shall, prior to such disposition,
give Seller a reasonable opportunity, at the expense of Seller, to segregate and
remove such books and records as Seller may select.

         (b) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Purchaser and
its Representatives will have reasonable access to (including the right to make
copies of) all of the books and records relating to the Business which Seller or
any of its Representatives may retain after the Closing Date. Such access will
be afforded by Seller and its Representatives upon receipt of reasonable advance
notice and during normal business hours. Purchaser will be solely responsible
for any costs and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section. If Seller
wishes to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of
such six-year period, it shall, prior to such disposition, give Purchaser a
reasonable opportunity, at Purchaser's expense, to segregate and remove such
books and records as Purchaser may select.

     6.11 Retention Payments and Employee Bonus Pool Payment.

         (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Purchaser will (i) pay, within thirty (30) days following the one
year anniversary of the Closing, to each employee identified in Schedule 6.11
the amounts set forth opposite his or her name, provided that such employee
entitled to receive such amount is employed by the Purchaser on the one year
anniversary date of the Closing (the "Retention Payments"); and (ii) pay, in the
aggregate and no later than March 31, 2008, One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars
($160,000) cash to the current employees of the Seller then employed by the
Purchaser (excluding the Members) as an employee bonus payment for such
employees (the "Purchaser Employee Bonus Payment"). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Retention Payments and Purchaser
Employee Bonus Payment shall not be included in any Net Working Capital
calculation or Working Capital Adjustment.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Purchaser will pay, in the aggregate and no later than March 31, 2008, an
additional One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000) cash to the current
employees of the Seller then employed by the Purchaser (excluding the Members)
as an employee bonus payment for such employees (the "Seller Employee Bonus
Payment"). The Seller Employee Bonus Payment shall be included in any Net
Working Capital calculation or Working Capital Adjustment.


                                       32



         (c) The allocation of the payments of the Seller Employee Bonus Payment
and the Purchaser Employee Bonus Payment among Seller's former employees shall
be determined by the board of Purchaser in a manner consistent with Seller's
past practices.

     6.12 Notification of Schedule Update. Between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser in writing if Seller
becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a material
inaccuracy in any of Seller's representations and warranties as of the date of
this Agreement, or if Seller becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of
this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly
contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a material inaccuracy in any
such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as
of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. Should any
such fact or condition require any change in a Schedule if the Schedule were
dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition,
Seller will promptly deliver to Purchaser a supplement to the Schedule
specifying such change, which change shall be included in the Schedule unless
Purchaser objects in writing to such inclusion at or prior to the Closing. If
Purchaser objects to a proposed supplement to the Schedule, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve Purchaser's objection. If the parties are
unable to resolve Purchaser's objection to the proposed supplement to the
Schedule, the sole remedy of Purchaser will be termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.1(e) hereof. During the same period, Seller will
promptly notify Purchaser of the occurrence of any event that could reasonably
be anticipated to make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 8
impossible or unlikely.

     6.13 Environmental Insurance Coverage. The parties understand and agree
that Purchaser will apply for and obtain a pollution legal liability insurance
policy or binding commitment from a reputable insurance company (a) naming the
Seller, the individuals listed on Schedule 6.6(a), Seller's Landlord and the
Purchaser as named insureds, (b) having coverage limits of Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) and a deductible of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and (c)
having a term of five (5) years (the "Environmental Insurance Policy"). All
premiums, taxes and costs of the Environmental Insurance Policy shall be borne
equally by the Seller and Purchaser, and paid at or prior to the Closing.
Purchaser will be solely responsible for paying any deductible in connection
with claims made under the Environmental Insurance Policy, which shall not be
included as part of the Threshold Amount (as defined in Section 9.2(b)).

                                   ARTICLE 9

                         SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATIONS.

     9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

         (a) All representations and warranties of Seller contained in this
Agreement will survive the Closing Date for a period of eighteen (18) months;
except that (i) the representations and warranties in Section 4.3 (Power and
Authority; Binding Effect), Section 4.4 (Title) and Section 4.24 (Brokers) will
survive indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in
Section 4.8 (Taxes) and Section 4.12 (Employee Benefits) shall survive until
sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations
period (after giving effect to any waivers and extension thereof), and (iii) the
representations and warranties contained in Section 4.20 (Environmental) will
survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years (the period applicable to
such representations and warranties shall be referred to as the "Claims
Period"). Any claim made by Purchaser with respect to the representations and
warranties of Seller and its Predecessors contained in this Agreement must be
initiated by Purchaser during the applicable Claims Period. All of the
representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement will in no
respect be limited or diminished by any past or future inspection,
investigation, examination or possession on the part of Purchaser or its
Representatives.

         (b) All covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, the obligation of Seller to convey the Purchased
Assets to Purchaser free and clear of any Encumbrance (except the Permitted
Encumbrances) and the indemnification obligations of Seller set forth in Section
9.2) will survive the Closing Date until fully performed or discharged.

         (c) All representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this
Agreement will survive the Closing Date for a period of eighteen (18) months
("Purchaser Claims Period"). Any claim made by Seller with respect to the
representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement must be
initiated during Purchaser Claims Period. All covenants and agreements of
Purchaser contained in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the
obligation of Purchaser to pay the Purchaser Employee Bonus Payment, the Seller
Employee Bonus Payment, the Retention Payments and the indemnification
obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 9.3) will survive the Closing Date
until fully performed or discharged.

     9.2 Indemnification by Seller.

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates, respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a "Purchaser
Indemnified Party") shall be indemnified and held harmless by Seller (the
"Seller Indemnifying Party"), for and against any and all losses, damages, costs
and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including attorneys'
and consultants' fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them
(hereinafter a "Loss"), arising out of or resulting from:

               (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller
contained in this Agreement;

               (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained
in this Agreement;


                                       36



               (iii) any Excluded Liability or any liability or obligation of
Seller not included in the Assumed Liabilities;

               (iv) any Employee Benefit Plan;

               (v) any liability, payment or obligation in respect of any Tax
Liabilities owing by Seller or Seller's Predecessors of any kind or description
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto);

               (vi) except for Assumed Liabilities, resulting from or arising
out of the conduct of the Business (including, but not limited to, any Products
Liabilities) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date including, but not
limited to, any Proceeding against the Seller or Seller's Predecessors and any
litigation or similar matter arising out of such conduct, whether or not
described or required to be described on Schedule 4.10; and

               (vii) Seller's failure to comply with bulk sales laws and any
equivalent bulk transfer tax laws notwithstanding Purchaser's waiver of Seller's
compliance therewith pursuant to this Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Seller's aggregate liability for any and all claims for
indemnification under Section 9.2(a)(i) will be limited to an amount not to
exceed Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) and Seller shall
be so liable only if the aggregate amount of such claims for indemnification
exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the "Threshold Amount"). Once
such aggregate amount of such claims for indemnification exceeds the Threshold
Amount, the Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article 9
for the aggregate amount of all such liabilities, regardless of the Threshold
Amount, except that a breach of a representation or warranty or
misrepresentation made by Seller in Section 4.3 or the first sentence of Section
4.4(a), and any claim arising from fraud will not be so limited.

     9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement, following the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates,
respective officers, members of the Board of Governors, employees, agents,
successors and assigns (each a "Seller Indemnified Party") shall be indemnified
and held harmless by Purchaser (the "Purchaser Indemnifying Party") for and
against any and all Losses, arising out of or resulting from:

         (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser
contained in this Agreement;

         (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser contained in
this Agreement; or

         (c) resulting from or arising out of the conduct of the Business at any
time after the Closing Date (except for matters for which Purchaser is entitled
to indemnification from Seller under Section 9.2 above).


                                       37



     9.4 Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

         (a) Subject to Section 9.1 above, in the event that an Indemnified
Party proposes to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or
9.3 hereof (other than a Third Party Claim as discussed below), the Indemnified
Party will deliver, on or prior to the date upon which the applicable
representations, warranties, indemnities or covenants expire pursuant to Section
9.1, written notice to the Indemnifying Party which states (i) that a Loss has
occurred, (ii) the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right
of indemnification is claimed or arises, and (iii) each individual item of Loss
or other claim, in reasonable detail, including the amount and date of such Loss
(to the extent reasonably ascertainable). No claim may be made with respect to a
breach of any representation or warranty hereunder after the expiration of the
applicable Claims Period.

         (b) If the Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any action, audit,
demand or assessment (each, a "Third Party Claim") against it or which may give
rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, within 30
days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the
failure to provide such notice within said 30 day period shall not release the
Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 9 except to
the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure
(but in no event shall any such failure or delay extend the survival period set
forth in Section 9.1 above). If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing
its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses
that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its
expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to
do so to the Indemnified Party within five days of the receipt of such notice
from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is
reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would, in the reasonable
judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, make it inappropriate for the same
counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each
jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party and such counsel shall be entitled to full
participation in the defense of or prosecution of counterclaims related to any
such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall direct its counsel to reasonably
cooperate in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event of any Third Party Claim brought by, on behalf of or for
the benefit of any affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified
Party shall control the defense thereof, at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's obligation to indemnify the
Indemnified Party therefore. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises
the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as
provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the
Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and
information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified
Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly,
conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all
such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's
possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be

                                       38



settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     9.5 Environmental Remedies. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement
to the contrary, (a) Seller shall have no indemnification obligations with
respect to any Losses arising from a breach of any representation or warranty
set forth in Section 4.20, and (b) Purchaser's sole remedy for any such breach
of Section 4.20 or Losses relating to any Environmental Claim shall be the
insurance proceeds from the Environmental Insurance Policy.

     9.6 Other Remedies. Except for fraud and equitable remedies that may exist
relating to a breach of the obligations in Section 6.8 above, and the
environmental remedies provided for in Section 9.5 above, the indemnification
rights provided for in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of
Purchaser, after the Closing, for any breach by Seller of the representations,
warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any schedule or document
related to or delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the Seller is liable to Purchaser for any claim
arising under this Agreement or any schedule or document related to or delivered
pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that the Members are jointly
and severally liable for such claim pursuant to the terms and conditions of
their Personal Guaranties.

     9.7 Insurance. The amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay
to, for, or on behalf of any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 9 shall
be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance
proceeds actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in
reduction of the related indemnifiable Loss net of any co-payment, retrospective
premium adjustment, and increased premiums resulting from such Loss. The parties
hereto agree that the foregoing shall not affect the subrogation rights of any
insurance companies making any payment referred to hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated:

         (a) At any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by the mutual consent
in writing of the parties hereto;

         (b) At any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by Purchaser in
writing if Seller has, or by Seller in writing if Purchaser has, in any material
respect, breached (a) any material covenant or agreement contained herein or (b)
any material representation or warranty contained herein, and in either case (x)
such breach has not been cured within 10 days after the date on which written
notice of such breach is given to the party committing such breach and (y) such
breach would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby;

         (c) At any time, by any party hereto in writing, if any Governmental
Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final, nonappealable
order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated herein;


                                       39



         (d) By any party hereto in writing, if the Closing Date has not
occurred by the close of business on December 31, 2007 unless the failure of the
Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking
to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements
set forth herein; or

         (e) By Purchaser's delivery of a written notice of objection to a
proposed supplement to the Schedules pursuant to the procedures described in
Section 6.12 hereof. In order to terminate this Agreement, such proposed
supplement to the Schedules must be material to the representation or warranty
so modified and the parties are unable to resolve Purchaser's objection after
negotiating in good faith to resolve such objection.

     10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect,
except that a termination pursuant to Section 10.1(b) shall not relieve the
breaching party from liability for an uncured willful breach of such covenant or
agreement or representation or warranty giving rise to such termination.

     10.3 Waiver.

     Except where not permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements,
Purchaser and Seller, by written instrument signed by such party, may at any
time extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts
of Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, and may waive (a)
any inaccuracies of such parties in the representations or warranties contained
in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, (b)
compliance with any of the covenants, undertakings or agreements of such
parties, or satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent to its obligations,
contained herein or (c) the performance by such parties of any of its
obligations set out herein or therein. No such waiver or extension shall be
effective unless specifically made in such writing and waiver by a party of any
breach of or failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement by
the other party shall not be construed as, or construe a continuing waiver of,
or a waiver of any other breach of, or failure to comply with, any other
provision of this Agreement.

     10.4 Further Assurances. Both before and after the Closing Date, each party
will cooperate in good faith with each other party and will take all appropriate
action and execute any agreement, instrument or other writing of any kind which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out and confirm the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     10.5 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss with respect to any property or assets of
Seller will be borne by Seller at all times prior to the Closing and will pass
to Purchaser only upon transfer to Purchaser at Closing of title to the
Purchased Assets; notwithstanding the foregoing, risk of loss with respect to
any Non-Transferable Assets will also pass to Purchaser at Closing. If any of
the Tangible Personal Property is lost, damaged or destroyed by fire, theft,
casualty or any other cause or causes prior to the Closing (a "Casualty"),
Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of such Casualty and the
details thereof and shall answer promptly any reasonable requests from Purchaser
for details or information. Purchaser shall thereafter proceed with the Closing,
except that in the event of a Casualty to the Tangible Personal Property, the
Purchase Price will be reduced by the dollar amount (based upon replacement

                                       40



value) of the Casualty loss (and any insurance proceeds received or receivable
as a result of such Casualty will be payable to Seller); provided, however, that
if such Casualties materially interfere, in Purchaser's reasonable discretion,
with the operation of the Business, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement.
Purchaser must exercise its option to terminate by written notice to Seller
within fifteen (15) days or the number of days remaining to the Closing,
whichever is less, after the later of Purchaser receiving (a) written notice of
any such Casualty and (b) satisfactory responses to all of its reasonable
requests, if any, for details or information. If this Agreement is not
terminated by Purchaser pursuant to this Section and if Purchaser and Seller are
unable to agree as to the dollar amount of the loss (based upon replacement
value) or the insurance proceeds to be recovered, Purchaser and Seller shall
proceed with the Closing as scheduled, except that Purchaser shall place in
escrow (to be held pending agreement as to the final amount) an amount (based
upon estimated replacement value of the damaged or destroyed property) as
determined by a firm selected by the Independent Accountants (the "Casualty
Amount"), and the payments to be made by Purchaser on the Closing Date pursuant
to this Agreement will be reduced by the Casualty Amount. An escrow agent shall
hold the Casualty Amount until the dispute has been resolved following the
Closing either by agreement of Purchase and Seller or otherwise. In the event
that the actual Casualty loss is greater than or less than the Casualty Amount
held in escrow, to the extent necessary, the parties shall make appropriate
adjustment payments.

     10.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any agreement,
notice, request, instruction or other communication to be given hereunder by any
party to another must be in writing and (a) delivered personally (such delivered
notice to be effective on the date it is delivered), (b) mailed by certified

days after the date it is mailed), (c) deposited with a reputable overnight
courier service (such couriered notice to be effective one (1) business day
after the date it is sent by courier) or (d) sent by facsimile transmission

facsimile transmission is received), with a confirmation sent by way of one of

        Greatbatch Announces Acquisition of IntelliSensing LLC

          Strategic Acquisition of Wireless Sensor Technology

    CLARENCE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2007--Greatbatch, Inc.
(NYSE:GB) announced today that its subsidiary, Electrochem Commercial
Power, has acquired substantially all of the assets of IntelliSensing
LLC for approximately $3.9 million in cash. IntelliSensing,
established in 2005 and based in Orchard Park, New York, designs and
manufactures wireless sensor solutions that measure temperature,
pressure, flow and other critical data.

    IntelliSensing's products, powered by lithium batteries, are
designed to operate in environments where wired sensors are
undesirable or impractical. IntelliSensing's portfolio will extend
Electrochem's product portfolio in existing markets to offer complete
technology solutions that enable customers to manage their processes
more effectively, including oil & gas services, military, aerospace
and other industrial applications.

    Unlike many other wireless sensor solutions, IntelliSensing's
