Except as provided herein, no Person has been

8.1 Tax Matters. The following provisions of this Section 8.1 shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

(a) The Seller Indemnitors shall, jointly and severally indemnify the Company, Buyer, Parent, and any Affiliate of Buyer or Parent and hold them harmless from and against any Loss attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 8.1(c)); (ii) all Taxes of any Consolidated Group or any member of a Consolidated Group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation; and (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Returns of any Consolidated Group. Seller shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all other Returns with respect to the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for all Straddle Periods. With respect to each such Return for a Straddle Period, (i) not later than thirty (30) days following the end of such period, Buyer shall provide Seller with the requisite information regarding the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date to file such Return, (ii) Seller shall provide, at least thirty (30) days prior to filing such Return, a copy of such Return to Buyer for its review, comment and approval to the extent relating to the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, (iii) such Return shall be prepared as required by applicable Law and in a manner consistent with Section 8.1(c) and with past practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and (iv) such Straddle Period Return shall not be filed without the prior written consent of Buyer of the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) In order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to any taxable year or period that includes the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, elect with the relevant Taxing authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the Company. In any case where applicable Law does not permit the parties to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period, any portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of

property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date;

(ii) in the case of Taxes not described in subparagraph (i) above that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire relevant period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediate preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant period; and

(iii) for purposes of determining such Taxes, exemptions, relief, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned in the manner specified in subparagraph (ii) above. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

(d) Seller, on the one hand, and Parent and Buyer, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other parties upon receipt of any notice of any Tax audit, assessment, claim or investigation (a “Tax Claim”) for which Seller Indemnitors may be liable. The failure promptly to give such notice shall not affect any Indemnified Party’s ability to seek indemnification hereunder unless such failure has materially and adversely affected the right of Seller to participate in and contest the Tax Claim. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with respect to any Tax Claim relating to Taxes for which Seller Indemnitors may be liable, Seller shall control all proceedings; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such Tax Claim (other than a Tax Claim relating to a Tax or Return of a Consolidated Group) that may have the effect of materially increasing the Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period or any Tax period beginning on or after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further that Seller will allow Buyer, the Company and their counsel to participate at their own expense in the defense of any such Tax Claim (other than a Tax Claim relating to a Tax or Return of a Consolidated Group); provided further that with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period and involving both Taxes for which Seller Indemnitors are liable and Taxes for which Seller Indemnitors are not liable, Buyer and Seller shall jointly control the defense of such Tax Claim and neither Buyer nor Seller shall enter into any compromise or agree to settle any claim pursuant to such proceeding without prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) Buyer, Parent, the Company and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Returns filed after the Closing Date and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes; provided, however, that Buyer shall have final authority with respect to any such proceeding other than those described in Section 8.1(d). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Parent, Buyer, Seller and the Company agree (i) to retain all books and records with

respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, Parent or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(f) Buyer, Seller and Parent further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(g) All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Seller. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credit or offset of Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Buyer in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 8.1(c). Each party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the party entitled to receive the amount or economic benefit of a refund, credit or offset to Tax pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) the amount of such refund or economic benefit within 30 days after such refund is received or such credit or offset is allowed or applied against another Tax liability, as the case may be.

8.2 Transfer and Sales Taxes. Seller shall pay one-half and Buyer shall pay one-half of all applicable documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and such other Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller and Buyer will, file all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes, fees and charges required by applicable Law.

(viii) any Plan established or maintained by the Company (clauses (i) - (viii), collectively, “Buyer Losses”).

(b) Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to limitations set forth in this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Parent and Buyer (together, the “Buyer Indemnitors” and together with the Seller Indemnitors, the “Indemnitors”), jointly and severally, will indemnify Seller, Guarantor, and their officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”), in full and hold them harmless against any Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party, resulting from or arising out of:

The Indemnified Party Claim shall describe the indemnification sought in reasonable detail to the extent known and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and if then estimable) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered. Subject to the limitations otherwise set forth in this Article XI, the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnitors with respect to such claim.

11.3 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnified Party receives written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding or the assertion of any claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment for which indemnity may be sought under this Article XI (a “Third Party Claim”), and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the relevant Indemnitors with written notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitors have suffered actual and material prejudice by such failure. After such notice, if the relevant Indemnitors shall acknowledge, in writing, to the Indemnified Party that such Indemnitors shall be obligated under the terms of their indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third Party Claim, then such Indemnitors shall be entitled to participate in or, at their option, assume the defense, appeal or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Such defense or settlement shall be conducted through counsel selected by the Indemnitors and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnitors in connection therewith. In the event that the relevant Indemnitors fail to assume the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim within 20 Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, appeal or settlement of such Third Party Claim at the expense and for the account of the Indemnitors.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitors shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the relevant Indemnitors in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those

available to the Indemnitors or (iii) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnitors in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnitors, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel.

(c) No Indemnitor shall agree to any compromise, settlement, admission or acknowledgment of the validity of such Third Party Claim if it (i) does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect thereto, (ii) imposes any liability on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of Indemnified Party, (iii) imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or (iv) includes any statement or undertaking as to fault or culpability of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 11.3(a), the Indemnitors shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnitors fail to assume the defense within 20 Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnitor without the prior written consent of such Indemnitor.

(e) Any Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitors and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom and, at no out-of-pocket cost to the Indemnified Party, shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include reasonable access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnitors and their agents and representatives to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnitors shall extend the same cooperation and access as are required to be extended by the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 11.3(e). The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

11.4 Limitations of Damages.

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from any Seller Indemnitor any Buyer Loss unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Buyer Losses theretofore incurred by all Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $500,000, in which case the Seller Indemnitors will be liable for the aggregate amount of all such Buyer Losses and not just the amount in excess of $500,000; provided, however, to the extent any Buyer Loss relates to any breach or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement as a result of matters disclosed on any Disclosure Supplement, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from any Seller Indemnitor any Buyer Loss unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Buyer Losses theretofore incurred by all Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $2,000,000, in which case the Seller Indemnitors will be liable for the aggregate amount

The maximum aggregate liability of Seller Indemnitors to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Buyer Losses arising from (i) a breach of Section 3.1 (Title to Shares) or Section 4.4 (Capitalization), (ii) the Company’s indemnification obligations under the Note Purchase Agreements, (iii) the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreements or (iv) the Royal Indemnity Arbitration (including Losses of Seller for costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in connection therewith) collectively shall not exceed the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.4(a) shall not apply to any indemnification obligation of a Seller Indemnitor pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement, and in no event shall the aggregate obligations of the Seller Indemnitors pursuant to this Article XI exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) Solely for purposes of calculating the amount of any Buyer Losses arising out of or relating to any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty (and not for purposes of determining whether or not a breach has occurred), the references to “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms) shall be disregarded.

(c) Each of Buyer, Parent, Seller and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have a right to assert claims under any provision of this Agreement for any Losses to the extent that such Losses relate to actions taken by Buyer, Parent or its Affiliates after the Closing (with respect to claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties) or by Seller, Guarantor or their Affiliates after the Closing (with respect to claims by Seller Indemnified Parties). Nothing provided in this Article XI shall limit any duty of an Indemnified Party to mitigate Losses under applicable Law applicable to the business, the Company or to Buyer.

11.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided by Article VIII, after the Closing, the rights set forth in this Article XI shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any of the parties hereto from bringing an action based upon allegations of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misrepresentation with respect to the other parties in connection with this Agreement.

11.6 Tax Adjustment. Any payment to an Indemnified Party under this Article XI will be, for Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by Law, an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

11.7 Royal Indemnity Arbitration. Guarantor shall be entitled to assume and direct the defense of, settle or otherwise dispose of the Royal Indemnity Arbitration, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not take any action which the Company in good faith objects to as detrimental to the Company, Parent or Buyer; provided, further, however, that Guarantor shall keep the Company apprised, and shall provide copies, to the extent available, of all discussions, correspondence, agreements and other communications relating to such arbitration and shall not without the prior written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, enter into or make any settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment of any liability in respect of the Royal Indemnity Arbitration that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release of the Company from all liability with respect to such matter. The Company shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of the Royal Indemnity Arbitration and in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, proceedings and hearings as may be reasonably requested by Guarantor. The Company shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Royal Indemnity Arbitration and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Guarantor.

XII. General

Neither the failure nor any delay by any Person in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. In addition, no course of dealing between or

among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify or amend any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Person under or by reason of this Agreement. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.

Any party may at any time change its address for service from time to time by giving notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 12.4.

12.5 Further Assurances. After the Closing, each party shall take such further actions and execute such further documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the other party in order to effectuate the intent of this Agreement and to provide such other party with the intended benefits of this Agreement.

12.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned by any party to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to one or more Subsidiaries of Buyer, provided that the representations set forth in Article V of this Agreement are true with respect to such Subsidiaries as if such Subsidiaries made each of the representations and warranties set forth therein and so long as Buyer and Parent remain responsible for the performance of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 7.5 or with respect to the indemnification provided in Article XI, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement confers any rights or remedies upon any Person that is not a party or permitted assign of a party to this Agreement.

12.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is prohibited or invalid under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

12.9 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, any Disclosure Supplements and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, including the Heads of Agreement, dated July 28, 2006, among Parent, Guarantor and the Company. The Company acknowledges that Buyer has made no representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings or promises except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in agreements referred to herein that survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

12.10 Disclosure Schedules. Each Disclosure Schedule and Disclosure Supplement shall be deemed to include and incorporate all disclosures made on the other Disclosure Schedules and Disclosure Supplements that may be reasonably inferred to apply to the disclosures required by such Disclosure Schedule or Disclosure Supplement. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules and Disclosure Supplements is included solely for informational purposes, is not an admission of materiality with respect to the matters covered by the information, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. A disclosure made by any party to this Agreement in any Disclosure Schedule or Disclosure Supplement that is sufficient on its face to reasonably inform another party to this Agreement of information required to be disclosed in another Disclosure Schedule or Disclosure Supplement in order to avoid a misrepresentation thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to have been made with respect to such other Disclosure Schedule or Disclosure Supplement.

12.11 Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature will be considered an original signature.

12.12 Governing Law. THE DOMESTIC LAW, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND

INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

12.13 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the subject matter of this Agreement, including the business, assets and properties of the Company, is unique, that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, and that the remedies at law would not be adequate to compensate such other parties not in default or in breach. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity (without any requirement that Buyer provide any bond or other security). The parties waive any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or provide similar security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief or specific performance of this Agreement.

12.14 Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of (a) any New York State court sitting in the County of New York and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect to any such action or proceeding. The parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Nothing in this Section 12.14 will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity.

12.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.15.

12.16 Construction. The parties and their respective counsel have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In addition, each of the parties acknowledges that it is sophisticated and has been advised by experienced counsel and, to the extent it deemed necessary, other advisors in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and agreement contained in this Agreement will have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or agreement. Any reference to any Law will be deemed to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The headings preceding the text of articles and sections included in this Agreement and the headings to the schedules and exhibits are for convenience only and are not be deemed part of this Agreement or given effect in interpreting this Agreement. References to sections, articles, schedules or exhibits are to the sections, articles, schedules and exhibits contained in, referred to or attached to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” A statement that an action has not occurred in the past means that it is also not presently occurring. When any party may take any permissive action, including the granting of a consent, the waiver of any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, whether to take such action is in its sole and absolute discretion. All references in this Agreement to “dollars” are to US dollars. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender or the singular or plural form of words will not limit any provisions of this Agreement.

12.17 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
