Parent shall issue each Adjusted Parent Series C Option to each holder of an Acuity Preferred Option upon surrender thereof or, in case such Acuity Preferred Option shall be lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by Parent, the written agreement by such Person to indemnify Parent and Surviving Company II against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Acuity Preferred Option.           (c) Acuity and Parent shall take any actions necessary and appropriate to cause the obligations of Acuity under the Acuity Option Plans and agreements under which the Adjusted Parent Option or Adjusted Parent Series C Option was originally granted to be assumed by Parent at the Acuity Merger Effective Time subject to the adjustments required by Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b). The terms of each Acuity Option and the Acuity Option Plans under which such Acuity Option was initially granted, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Acuity Merger Effective Time, shall continue to apply in all material respects to the corresponding Adjusted Parent Option or Adjusted Parent Series C Option.           (d) Except to the extent required under the terms of the Acuity Options (and not waived by any holder thereof), all restrictions or limitations on transfer and vesting with respect to Acuity Options awarded under the Acuity Option Plans or any other plan, program or arrangement of Acuity, to the extent that such restrictions or limitations shall not have already lapsed, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Adjusted Parent Option or Adjusted Parent Series C Option after giving effect to the Acuity Merger.           (e) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series C Preferred Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Adjusted Parent Options and the Adjusted Parent Series C Options, as applicable. Within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (if available) (or any successor or other appropriate forms) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such options and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.      3.5 Acuity Warrants.

Each holder of an Acuity Series B Preferred Warrant shall also receive a Parent Warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (w) the product of the Acuity Warrant Number and the Acuity Series B Preferred Exchange Ratio multiplied by 100 (z) for each share of Acuity Series B Stock which the Acuity Series B Preferred Warrant was exercisable into immediately prior to the Acuity Merger Effective Time.

Acuity shall give (a) Parent and Froptix prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Acuity Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments, served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Acuity relating to rights to be paid the “fair value” of Acuity Dissenting Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and (b) Parent the opportunity to participate in, and after the Closing, direct, all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL.

ARTICLE IV REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ACUITY      Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement, Acuity represents and warrants to Parent as of the date of this Agreement as follows:      4.1 Organization and Standing. Acuity is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Acuity has the requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Acuity is presently qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in each other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Acuity. True and accurate copies of Acuity’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Acuity Certificate”) and Acuity’s By-laws (the “Acuity By-laws”), each as in effect as of the date hereof and at the Closing, have been delivered to Parent.      4.2 Corporate Power. Acuity has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform its other obligations hereunder.      4.3 Authorization. All action on the part of Acuity and its officers, directors and security holders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its respective obligations hereunder, has been taken or will be taken prior to or upon the Closing, as applicable. This Agreement has been duly executed by Acuity and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes and will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Acuity, except (i) as limited by Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and (ii) as limited by rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and by general principles of equity.      4.4 Subsidiaries. Acuity does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, other business entity or Person. Acuity is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. Since its inception, Acuity has not consolidated or merged with, acquired all or substantially all of the assets of, or acquired the stock of or any interest in any Person.      4.5 Capitalization.           (a) The authorized capital stock of Acuity on the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing consists, and shall consist, of 19,584,956 shares of Acuity Common Stock, of which 2,116,877 shares of Acuity Common Stock are issued and outstanding, and 13,997,179 shares of Acuity Preferred Stock, of which 742,000 are designated Acuity Series A Preferred Stock and of which 13,255,179 are designated Acuity Series B Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the Closing, 742,000 shares of Acuity Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding and convertible into Acuity Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, and 8,817,679 shares of Acuity Series B Preferred were issued or outstanding and convertible into Acuity Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The Acuity Common Stock and the Acuity Preferred Stock have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Acuity Certificate and under Delaware Law. All issued and outstanding shares of Acuity’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued in compliance with applicable Laws, and are fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of Liens or third party rights and of any restrictions on transfer, except for transfer restrictions of the federal and state securities laws. To Acuity’s knowledge, each holder of any capital stock of Acuity is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.           (b) There are no options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, put or call rights or obligations or anti-dilution or other rights to purchase or acquire from Acuity any of Acuity’s authorized and unissued capital stock. There are no rights to have Acuity’s capital stock registered for sale to the public in connection with the Laws of any jurisdiction, no agreements relating to the voting of Acuity’s voting securities (except as contemplated hereby) and no restrictions on the transfer of Acuity’s capital stock or other equity securities, other than those arising under applicable securities Laws. All outstanding shares, options and warrants were issued pursuant to and in compliance with a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and have been issued in compliance with applicable state securities Laws. The exercise price of each option to purchase or acquire from Acuity any of Acuity’s authorized and unissued capital stock was intended to constitute a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, as then determined in good faith by the Acuity board of directors.      4.6 Financial Statements. Acuity has delivered to Froptix and Parent the audited financial statements of Acuity as of and for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 (the “Acuity Financial Statements”). The Acuity Financial Statements, together with the notes thereto (if any) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that the unaudited Acuity Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP. The Acuity Financial Statements, together with the notes thereto (if any) are true and correct in all material respects and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of Acuity as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments, which shall not be material. No event has occurred and nothing has come to the attention of Acuity since September 30, 2006 to indicate that the Acuity Financial Statements were not true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof. Except as set forth in the Acuity Financial Statements, Acuity has no liabilities of any nature, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30, 2006 that do not exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Acuity Financial Statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of Acuity.      4.7 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since September 30, 2006, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Acuity or which, if taken after the date hereof, would constitute a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 7.7 or 7.12, (ii) Acuity has not incurred any material liabilities, and (iii) Acuity has not (a) altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (b) declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (c) issued any equity securities. Acuity has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy Law nor does Acuity have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Acuity is not Insolvent as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent.      4.8 Material Contracts. A list of the oral and written material agreements of Acuity is set forth on Schedule 4.8 of the Schedule of Exceptions (each, an “Acuity Material Agreement”).

To Acuity’s knowledge, neither Acuity’s material pre-clinical and clinical development candidates and processes to make such candidates, nor any Acuity Intellectual Property, infringe or will infringe on the valid and subsisting Intellectual Property rights of others that Acuity is aware of or, to Acuity’s knowledge, any other rights of others. No claim is pending or, to Acuity’s knowledge, threatened, alleging any such infringement or with respect to the ownership, validity, license or use of, or any infringement resulting from, either the Acuity Intellectual Property or the sale of any material products or services by Acuity. No loss or expiration of the Acuity Intellectual Property is pending or, to Acuity’s knowledge, threatened.

There are no outstanding options, licenses or other agreements relating to the Acuity Intellectual Property, and Acuity is not bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. Acuity is not violation of any license, sublicense, or other agreements to which it is a party or otherwise bound relating to any Intellectual Property.

To Acuity’s knowledge, no other person is infringing on the Acuity Intellectual Property.           (b) Each former and current officer, employee and consultant of Acuity has executed a Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, substantially in the form(s) delivered to Parent, and each such agreement remains in full force and effect pursuant to its terms. To Acuity’s knowledge, no officer or employee or consultant is in violation of such proprietary information agreement or of any prior employee contract, proprietary information agreement or other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, Acuity, and, to Acuity’s knowledge, the continued employment by Acuity of its present employees, and the performance of Acuity’s contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. Acuity has not received any written notice alleging that any such violation has occurred.           (c) The Acuity Merger does not and will not materially or adversely affect any rights of Acuity or Surviving Company II to use any material Acuity Intellectual Property.      4.10 Title to Properties and Assets; Liens. Acuity has good and marketable title to its properties and assets, and has good title to all its leasehold interests, in each case subject to no Lien or lease, other than (i) for Liens for current taxes not yet due and payable, and provided for on the applicable financial statements, and (ii) de minimis Liens and defects in title which do not in any case, individually or in the aggregate, materially detract from the value, continued ownership, use or operation of the property subject thereto or materially impair business operations, and that have not arisen otherwise than in the ordinary course of business (the “Permitted Liens”). With respect to the property and assets it leases, Acuity is in compliance with such leases in all material respects and holds a valid leasehold interest free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Acuity is not in violation of any provision of any federal, state or local statute, rule or governmental regulation, judgment, injunction or decree of any governmental authority, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Acuity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Acuity, and Acuity’s performance of and compliance with the terms hereof, or the consummation of the Acuity Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in any violation, breach or default, be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, a default under any Acuity Material Agreement or any of the foregoing provisions, require any consent or waiver under any Acuity Material Agreement or any of the foregoing provisions (other than any consents or waivers that have been obtained), result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Acuity, trigger any right of cancellation, termination or acceleration under any Acuity Material Agreement or any of the foregoing provisions, create any right of payment in any other person or entity (except as set forth herein), or result in a Material Adverse Effect on Acuity. Acuity has delivered to Parent and Froptix copies of all written communications to and from the FDA and written summaries of all such oral communications. Acuity has no knowledge that could reasonably lead it to believe that the FDA will not approve any of its proposed products or that questions the validity of its clinical trials.      4.12 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Acuity’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Acuity or its properties or rights before any court or by or before any governmental agency. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or, to Acuity’s knowledge, threatened involving the prior employment of any of Acuity’s employees, their use in connection with Acuity’s business or any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers.

ARTICLE V REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF FROPTIX      Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement, Froptix represents and warrants to Parent as of the date of this Agreement as follows:      5.1 Organization and Standing. Froptix is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Florida. Froptix has the requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Froptix is presently qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on Froptix. True and accurate copies of the Froptix Articles of Incorporation (the “Froptix Articles”) and Froptix By-laws (the “Froptix By-laws”), each as in effect as of the date hereof and at the Closing, have been delivered to Parent.      5.2 Corporate Power. Froptix has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform its other obligations hereunder.      5.3 Authorization. All action on the part of Froptix, its officers, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all of Froptix’s obligations hereunder has been taken or will be taken prior to or upon the Closing, as applicable. This Agreement has been duly executed by Froptix and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes and will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Froptix, except (i) as limited by Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and (ii) as limited by rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and by general principles of equity.      5.4 Subsidiaries. Froptix does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, other business entity or Person. Froptix is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. Since its inception, Froptix has not consolidated or merged with, acquired all or substantially all of the assets of, or acquired the stock of or any interest in any Person.      5.5 Capitalization.           (a) The authorized capital stock of Froptix as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing consists and will consist of 1,000 shares of Froptix Common Stock, nine hundred five (905) of which are issued and outstanding. The Froptix Common Stock has the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Froptix Articles and under Florida Law.           (b) All issued and outstanding shares of Froptix’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued in compliance with applicable Laws, and are fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of Liens or third party rights and of any restrictions on transfer, except for transfer restrictions of the federal and state securities laws. To Froptix’s knowledge, each holder of any capital stock of Froptix is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.           (c) There are no options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, put or call rights or obligations or anti-dilution or other rights to purchase or acquire from Froptix any of Froptix’s authorized and unissued capital stock.

All outstanding shares, options and warrants were issued pursuant to and in compliance with a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act and have been issued in compliance with applicable state securities Laws. The exercise price of each option to purchase or acquire from Froptix any of Froptix’s authorized and unissued capital stock was intended to constitute a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, as then determined in good faith by the Froptix board of directors.      5.6 Financial Statements.

Since December 31, 2006, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Froptix or which, if taken after the date hereof, would constitute a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 7.7 or 7.12, (ii) Froptix has not incurred any material liability, (iii) Froptix has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditor, (iv) Froptix has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) Froptix has not issued any equity securities.

No Parent Employee Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA, or Section 412 of the Code, is or has been subject to Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, or is a multi-employer welfare arrangement as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA. Neither Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA. Neither Parent nor any of it ERISA Affiliates has ever participated in and has never been required to contribute to any “multi employer plan,” as defined in Sections 3(37)(A) and 4001(a)(3) of ERISA and Section 414(f) of the Code or any “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Section 210(a) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code. No Parent Employee Benefit Plan provides for, nor does Parent or any of its subsidiaries have any liability for post-employment life insurance or health benefit coverage for any participant or any beneficiary of a participant, except as may be required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and at the expense of the participant or the participant’s beneficiary.           (b) The Parent Employee Benefit Plans have been maintained in all material respects in accordance with their terms and with all provisions of ERISA, the Code (including rules and regulations thereunder) and other applicable federal and state Laws and regulations. The exercise price of each option to purchase or acquire from Parent any of Parent’s authorized and unissued capital stock was intended to constitute a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, as then determined in good faith by the Parent board of directors.           (c) There are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits that have been asserted or instituted against any Parent Employee Benefit Plan, the assets of any of the trusts under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan or the sponsor of any Parent Employee Benefit Plan, or, to the knowledge of Parent, against any fiduciary or administrator of any Parent Employee Benefit Plan with respect to the operation of any Parent Employee Benefit Plan (other than routine benefit claims), nor does Parent have any knowledge of facts that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such claim or lawsuit.           (d) Neither will the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (i) result in any payment becoming due to any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Parent or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any rights with respect to any such benefits under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan or (iv) require any contributions or payments to fund, or any security to secure, any obligations under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan. There are no Parent Employee Benefit Plans that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with a combination of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other event, that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Section 280G of the Code.           (e) With respect to each Parent Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), (i) the Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter, which has not been revoked, that any such plan is tax-qualified and each trust created thereunder has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Code Section 501(a); (ii) nothing has occurred or will occur through the Closing which would cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any penalty or tax liability; (iii) no reportable event (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred; (iv) there has been no termination or partial termination of such plan within the meaning of Code Section 411(d)(3); and (v) the present value of all liabilities under any such plan will not exceed the current fair market value of the assets of such plan (determined using the actuarial assumption used for the most recent actuarial valuation for such plan).      6.21 Obligations to Related Parties. There are no loans, leases, agreements, understandings, commitments or other continuing transactions between Parent and any employee, officer, director or member of his or her immediate family or stockholder of Parent or member of his or her immediate family or any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any of the foregoing persons. To Parent’s knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which Parent is affiliated or with which Parent has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with Parent, except in connection with the ownership of stock of publicly-traded companies (but not exceeding 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any such company). No employee, officer, director or member of his or her immediate family or, to Parent’s knowledge, stockholder of Parent or member of his or her immediate family or any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any of the foregoing persons, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract with Parent (other than such contracts as relate to any such person’s ownership of capital stock or other securities of Parent or employment by Parent). Parent is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any Indebtedness of any other Person.      6.22 Insurance. Parent has in full force and effect general commercial, fire and casualty insurance policies and insurance against other hazards, risks and liabilities to persons and property to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and sufficient in amount to allow it to replace any of its material properties or assets that might be damaged or destroyed or sufficient to cover liabilities to which Parent may reasonably become subject.      6.23 Environmental and Safety Laws. Parent is in compliance with all applicable environmental Laws, rules and regulations except for noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. There is no environmental litigation or other environmental proceeding pending or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened, by any governmental regulatory authority or others with respect to the business of Parent. No state of facts exists as to environmental matters or Hazardous Substances that involves the reasonable likelihood of a material capital expenditure by Parent or that may otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. To Parent’s knowledge, no Hazardous Substances have been used, treated, stored or disposed of, or otherwise deposited, in or on the properties owned or leased by Parent in violation of any applicable environmental Laws.      6.24 No Assets; No Liabilities.

Other than as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports and those liabilities related to this Agreement set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, neither Parent, Merger Sub I nor Merger Sub II has any direct or indirect material liability, Indebtedness or obligation (including without limitation, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated or due or to become due) except relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.      6.25 Application of Takeover Protections. There are no Takeover Protections that are or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to Parent as a result of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Froptix or Acuity fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a result of Parent’s issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series C Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(a), Section 3.3(a), Section 3.3(b), and Section 3.3(c) or any other warrant or option as specified in this Agreement.      6.26 Disclosure.

In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article X, this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no other liability on the part of Froptix, Acuity or Parent to any other party except (a) liability arising out of a any breach of this Agreement, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at Law or in equity, subject to Article XI, and (b) the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 7.1, this Section 10.2, and Articles XI and XII, which provisions shall survive such termination. ARTICLE XI INDEMNIFICATION      11.1 Survival.

The indemnification set forth in this Article XI shall be the sole remedy of the parties with respect to breaches of representations and warranties hereunder. In no event shall any party be entitled to punitive, exemplary, special, incidental or consequential damages or the like for any breach of any term hereunder.      11.5 Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge or Waiver. The right to indemnification, payment of losses or other remedy based upon breach of representations, warranties, or covenants, or pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Master Agreement, will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, or covenant.

     12.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, only with the written consent of Acuity, Parent and Froptix; provided, however, (i) that if such amendment is effected after this agreement has been approved by the stockholders of Acuity, the affirmative vote of the holders of least a majority of the outstanding Acuity Shares entitled to vote to approve this Agreement and the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Acuity Series B Preferred Stock shall be required to amend any term of this Agreement, and (ii) that if such amendment is effected after this agreement has been approved by the stockholders of Froptix, the affirmative vote of the holders of least a majority of the outstanding Froptix Shares entitled to approve this Agreement shall be required to amend any term of this Agreement. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) at any time by the Party or Parties hereto entitled to the benefit thereof.      12.7 Enforceability; Severability. The parties hereto agree that each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are nevertheless held to be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision will be effective to the fullest extent possible excluding the terms affected by such prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If the prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability referred to in the prior sentence requires such provision to be excluded from this Agreement in its entirety, the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms.      12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the Laws of the State of Florida.      12.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLE WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF THE OTHER PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED OR HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS WAIVER WITH ITS RESPECTIVE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.      12.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto, their successors, assigns and heirs, and no other Person shall have any right or action under this Agreement.      12.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Master Agreement (as amended and restated in the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Parent, Acuity and the Frost Group, LLC), attached hereto as Exhibit H, and all exhibits hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and no party will be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.      12.12 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, or upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, will impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.      12.13 No Strict Construction.

If the Mergers are not consummated, each party shall bear and pay all of the legal, accounting and other costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.      12.15 Exhibits and Schedule of Exceptions. All exhibits, annexes and schedules, including the Schedule of Exceptions, annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. A disclosure in any particular Schedule of the Schedule of Exceptions, or the SEC Reports by Parent, or otherwise in this Agreement will be deemed adequate to disclose another exception to a representation or warranty made herein if the disclosure identifies the exception with reasonable particularity so that any exception to any other Schedule is reasonably apparent. [Signatures begin on next page.]      IN WITNESS THEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the undersigned as of the day, month and year first above written.
