(f) EIC and Seller will provide to the Agent and, following the Closing, Purchaser on a timely basis all information reasonably requested by the Agent or Purchaser with regard to the nature of any Wind Down Expenses, including any further support or detail requested by the Agent or Purchaser in connection with the Wind Down Expenses, the Wind Down Budget and the timing and requirements with respect to any Additional Wind Down Payments (including any deviation from the Wind Down Budget).

This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

12.7 Governing Law. Except for matters as to which the Bankruptcy Code applies, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or the Agent (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that the Agent agrees that it shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, assign its rights, interests, and obligations hereunder to Purchaser pursuant to the Purchaser Assignment (as defined below).

(b) The Priority Noteholders agree that, on or prior to the Closing Date, they shall cause Purchaser to be organized, and to execute an assignment in a form acceptable to the Agent, subject and pursuant to the Direction Letter, and Seller, which assignment shall designate the Purchaser entity and contain terms in accordance with the following sentence (the “Purchaser Assignment”).
