indemnifying party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
(d) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller
contained herein shall survive the Closing in full force and effect for a period
of three (3) years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller's
representation and warranties set forth in subsections (n) and (o) of Paragraph
9 shall survive the Closing in full force and effect until such time as the
applicable statute of limitations has expired; provided, further, that Seller's
representations and warranties set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of
Paragraph 9 shall survive the closing in full force and effect without
limitation as to duration.
(e) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer

of three (3) years from the Closing Date.
16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
Closing as follows:
(a) by written notice of Buyer to Seller or Seller to Buyer if the other
materially breaches any of its representations or warranties or defaults in the
performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein and such breach or
default shall not be cured within five (5) days after the date notice of such
breach or default is served by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement;

be in effect any judgement, decree or order that would prevent or make unlawful

if Buyer is not satisfied, in its sole discretion, with its business and legal
due diligence investigations of Seller; or
17. Specific Performance. Buyer and Seller recognize that if Seller refuses
to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages alone will

specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and

shall remain fully obligated under this Agreement.

condition hereof or consent pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective unless
evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any amendment, waiver or consent is sought.
