7.1 Termination. Except as provided in Section 7.2 below, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by mutual consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by Parent or the Company if: (i) the Effective Time has not occurred before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 31, 2004 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose willful failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been a cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such date; (ii) there shall be a final nonappealable Order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Merger; or (iii) there shall be any Law enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Entity that would make consummation of the Merger illegal;

-21-

this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement);

For purposes of this Agreement, said recommendation of the board of directors of the Company shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent if said recommendation shall no longer be unanimous other than as a result of a change in position of a director who is also an officer of Parent.

Where action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1, it shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the board of directors (as applicable) of the party taking such action.

7.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or their respective officers, directors or shareholders, provided that the provisions of Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 and Articles VII and VIII of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.
