Authority Relative to this Agreement The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to approval of this Agreement by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Shares in accordance with the MBCL, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than, with respect to the Merger, the approval of this Agreement by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Shares in accordance with the MBCL). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Parent and Newco, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement hereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Company has taken, or will take in accordance with Section 6.14, all action necessary to ensure that, so long as this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article VIII hereof, no "Rights" (as that term is defined in that certain Rights Agreement dated as of September 23, 1993 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and First Chicago Trust Company of New York, a New York corporation) are issued or required to be issued to the stockholders of the Company by virtue of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Textron Voting Agreement. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have taken all necessary action to exempt the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Textron Voting Agreement from, or if necessary to challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable "moratorium," "fair price," "business combination," "control share" or other state anti- takeover Laws (collectively, "Takeover Laws"), including, without limitation, Chapters 110C, 110D, 110E and 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws. Each of the Company and each Company Subsidiary has taken all action so that the entering into of this Agreement and the Textron Voting Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Textron Voting Agreement do not and will not result in the grant of any rights to any person under the Articles of Organization or Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws or other governing instruments of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or restrict or impair the ability of Parent or any of its subsidiaries to vote, or otherwise to exercise the rights of a shareholder with respect to, shares of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that may be directly or indirectly acquired or controlled by it or to otherwise engage in transactions with the Company or any Company Subsidiary.
Claims Covered by this Agreement To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and Executive mutually consent to the resolution by arbitration of all claims or causes of action that the Company may have against Executive or that Executive may have against the Company or against its officers, directors, employees, or agents in the capacity as such or otherwise (collectively “claims”). The claims covered by this Agreement include, but are not limited to, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied); tort claims; claims for discrimination (including, but not limited to, race, sex, sexual harassment, or any type of unlawful harassment, religion, national origin, age, marital status, medical condition, disability or sexual orientation); claims for wrongful termination in violation of public policy; and claims for violation of any federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation or ordinance, including, but not limited to, all claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1969, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment & Housing Act, the California Labor Code, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, the Fair Labor Standards Act or Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Performance of this Agreement Buyer shall have duly performed or complied with all of the obligations to be performed or complied with by it under the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date.
Breach of this Agreement If the Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, then the Company shall have the right and remedy to have those provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Executive that the rights and privileges of the Company granted in Sections 7, 8 and 9 are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and any such breach or threatened breach will cause great and irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.
