Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate all Liabilities under any and all Purchased Contracts or other Liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of Seller and its Affiliates so that, in any such case, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Liabilities.

2.6 Bulk Sales Laws. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Seller with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Seller to comply with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction which would not otherwise constitute Assumed Liabilities shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities and shall be promptly paid by and be the sole obligation and responsibility of Seller.

2.7 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) For all Tax purposes, the Purchase Price (plus any Assumed Liabilities that are treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets) shall be allocated in the manner set forth in this Section 2.7 (the “Price Allocation”). Purchaser shall prepare a proposed allocation in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and shall deliver such proposal to Seller for its review and approval not later than forty five (45) Business Days after the Closing Date. Seller shall notify Purchaser of its agreement to such proposal or of any modifications it wishes to make to such proposed allocation. If Seller proposes any modifications, then Seller and Purchaser will attempt to reach agreement on the Price Allocation prior to the due date for the filing of IRS Form 8594. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the Price Allocation prior to such due date, then each party will separately file an IRS Form 8594. In the event that Purchaser and Seller agree on the Price Allocation (i) each party agrees to timely file an IRS Form 8594 reflecting the Price Allocation for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and to make any timely filing required by applicable state or local Law, (ii) such Price Allocation shall be binding on Purchaser and Seller for all Tax reporting purposes, (iii) none of Purchaser or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any position inconsistent with such Price Allocation in connection with any Tax proceeding, except to the extent required by applicable Law, and (iv) if any Taxing Authority disputes such Price Allocation, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto of such dispute, and the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith in responding to such dispute in order to preserve the effectiveness of such Price Allocation.

(b) Any indemnification payment treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration paid for the Purchased Assets under Article III hereof shall be reflected as an adjustment to the consideration allocated to a specific asset, if any, giving rise to the adjustment and if any such adjustment does not relate to a specific asset, such adjustment shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the Price Allocation method provided in this Section 2.7.

2.8 Allocation of Taxes and Expenses.

(a) All state, county and local ad valorem Taxes on Purchased Assets (“Property Taxes”) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 2.8 hereto, computed by multiplying the amount of Property Taxes for the fiscal year for which the same are levied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year. In connection with such proration of Property Taxes, in the event that actual Property Tax figures are not available at the Closing Date, proration of Property Taxes shall be based upon the actual Property Taxes for the preceding fiscal year for which actual Property Tax figures are available, and re-prorated when actual Property Tax figures become available.

(b) All prorations and applicable payments to either party in connection with this Section 2.8 shall be made, insofar as feasible, on the Closing Date,

and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly. During the three-month period subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller shall advise Purchaser, and Purchaser shall advise Seller, of any actual changes to such prorations, and the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, at the end of such three-month period. In the event Purchaser or Seller shall receive bills after the Closing Date for expenses incurred before the Closing Date that were not prorated in accordance with this Section 2.8 or that were re-prorated in accordance with this Section 2.8, then Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party as to the amount of the expense subject to proration and the responsible party shall pay its portion of such expense (or, in the event such expense has been paid on behalf of the responsible party, reimburse the other party for its portion of such expenses).

2.9 Power of Attorney; Right of Endorsement. Effective as of the Closing, Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Purchaser the true and lawful attorney of Seller solely with respect to the AVL Business with full power of substitution, in the name and on behalf of Seller solely with respect to the AVL Business, but for the benefit of and at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, to do all such reasonable acts and things with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser may deem advisable, subject to the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities or to any Legal Proceedings in respect thereof. Seller agrees that the foregoing powers are coupled with an interest and shall not be revocable by Seller directly or indirectly in any manner. Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser shall retain for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing powers.

Each such offer of employment shall be for at least the same total compensation (including salary and bonus) and position in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Such individuals who accept such offers prior to the Closing are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.”

(b) Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) by Purchaser or its

Affiliates prior to the three (3) months anniversary of the Closing Date with severance payments and severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and severance benefits to which such employee would have been entitled as in effect as of the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 8.1(b) hereto. Such severance payments and benefits may be provided in the manner and under the plan or policy designated by Purchaser in its discretion.

(c) Standard Procedure. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in section 5 of Revenue Procedure 96-60, 1996-2 C.B. 399, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Transferred Employees, and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Transferred Employee with respect to the portion of the year during which such Employees are employed by Purchaser that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Employee was employed by Seller.

8.2 Employee Benefits.

(a) Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, for a period of one year following the Closing or such longer period of time required by applicable Law (the “Benefit Maintenance Period”), to each of the Transferred Employees, compensation (including salary, wages and opportunities for commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, overtime and premium pay), employee benefits, location of employment and a position of employment that are, in each case, substantially equivalent to those provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing. After the Closing, Purchaser shall not discriminate against Transferred Employees in relation to similarly situated employees of Purchaser by reason of their status as Transferred Employees.

(b) For purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates providing benefits to Transferred Employees (the “Purchaser Plans”), Purchaser shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with Seller and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any similar Employee Benefit Plan. The Purchaser Plans shall not deny Transferred Employees coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions or evidence of insurability and shall credit such Transferred Employees for any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid under the comparable Employee Benefit Plans in the year of initial participation in the Purchaser Plans.

(c) Transferred Employees shall not accrue benefits under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices or agreements of Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause duplicate benefits to be paid or provided to or with respect to any Transferred Employee under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices or agreements. References herein to a benefit with respect to a Transferred Employee shall include, where applicable, benefits with respect to any eligible dependents and

beneficiaries of such Transferred Employee under the same employee benefit policy, plan, arrangement, program, practice or agreement.

(d) Purchaser shall take all action necessary and appropriate to ensure that, as of the Closing Date, Purchaser maintains a qualified retirement plan under Code section 401(k) (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser Savings Plan”) that will accept rollover contributions, including any notes representing plan loans to participants, from each Transferred Employee who receives a distribution from a Qualified Plan, who elects such a rollover form of distribution, and who is employed by Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) at the time of such distribution.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall require Seller or its Affiliates to transfer assets or reserves with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan to Purchaser or its Affiliates or the Purchaser Plans.

(f) Except as required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect to Transferred Employees attributable to their accrued and unused vacation, sick days and personal days through the date hereof as set forth on Schedules 2.1(a) and 5.10(f) hereto.

8.3 Employee Rights. Nothing herein express or implied shall confer upon any employee of Seller or its Affiliates, or Purchaser or its Affiliates, or upon any legal representative of such employee, or upon any collective bargaining agent, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any person (nor any beneficiary thereof) any rights under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement, and each person (and any beneficiary thereof) shall be entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan, program or arrangement for his or her rights thereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall cause Purchaser or its Affiliates, or Seller or its Affiliates to have any obligation to provide employment or any employee benefits to any individual who is not a Transferred Employee or to continue to employ any Transferred Employee for any period of time following the Closing subject to limitations contained in any union contract or collective bargaining agreement. This Agreement does not create any right of an employee or union to object or to refuse to assent to Seller’s assignment of or Purchaser’s assumption of or succession to any employment agreement, union contract, collective bargaining agreement, or other agreement relating to conditions of employment, employment separation, severance or employee benefits, nor shall this Agreement be construed as recognizing that any such rights exist.

8.4 Successors and Assigns. In the event Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that such successors and assigns of Purchaser honor the obligations of Purchaser and its Affiliates set forth in this Article

VIII. In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates outsources any of the Transferred Employees during the Benefit Maintenance Period and such employees are not paid a severance benefit in accordance with Section 8.2(a), then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the outsourcing vendor maintains a severance pay plan or policy that provides a severance benefit for each Transferred Employee who is involuntarily terminated by the outsourcing vendor during such period, which benefit is the same as the severance benefits that would otherwise have been provided to such employees in accordance with Section 8.2(a). For purposes of this Section 8.4, a Transferred Employee shall be considered to have been outsourced if the employee is hired by the outsourcing vendor pursuant to or in connection with an agreement entered into between Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and the outsourcing vendor whereby the outsourcing vendor will provide services to or for Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

8.5 Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate fully with respect to the actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated in this Article VIII, including the provision of records (including payroll records) and information as each may reasonably request from the other.

8.6 Employee Obligations of Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall retain the right, after the Closing Date, to enforce agreements with its current or former Employees, consultants, and contractors related to Intellectual Property owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates.

10.2 Indemnification by Seller.

(a) Subject to Section 10.5 hereof, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, damages (excluding incidental and consequential damages), fines, suits, actions, costs and expenses (individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, based upon, attributable to or resulting from:

(i) any misrepresentation in, or any failure of, any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the Closing Date;

(ii) based upon or resulting from the breach of any Pre-Closing Covenant on the part of Seller;

(i) based upon or resulting from the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the Closing Date;

(ii) based upon or resulting from the breach of any Pre-Closing Covenant on the part of Purchaser;

(b) Seller shall take and cause its Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

(b) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 10.5) (an “Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly

cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure and then only to extent of such prejudice. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so; provided that if Seller is the indemnifying party that defends against, negotiates, settles or otherwise deals with such Indemnification Claim, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other Losses incurred by Seller in connection with such defense, negotiation, settlement or other dealings shall reduce (by the amount thereof) the amount recoverable under the Cap by Purchaser Indemnified Parties from Seller. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party,(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Sections 10.5 and 10.6, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the

indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus the Losses of the indemnified party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(c) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

10.5 Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 10.5(b), notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any indemnification obligations for Losses under Sections 10.2(a)(i)-(iii) or Sections 10.3(a)(i)-(iii) unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $ 50,000 (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent of such excess. Subject to Section 10.5(b), in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Seller or Purchaser under this Article X exceed $1,000,000(the “Cap”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Article X, the limitation requiring notice of any indemnification claim within a specific time period set forth in Section 10.1(a) and the Cap and Basket limitations set forth in Section 10.5(a) shall not apply to claims for indemnification in respect of Losses arising under the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.16, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.5 or related to or arising out of the matters set forth in Sections 7.8,10.2(a)(iv), 10.3(a)(iv) and 10.3(a)(v).

(c) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party and Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

10.6 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (net of any Tax or expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). Purchaser shall use its

commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever to maintain insurance.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof.

10.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except with regard to agreements covenants and representations contained in Section 7.8 hereof, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including any such Law relating to environmental matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.8 shall not operate to limit the rights of the parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.2 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Except with regard to agreements covenants and representations contained in Section 7.8 hereof, the parties agree that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any dispute regarding the breach, termination, enforceability or validity hereof (each, a “Dispute”) should be regarded as a business problem to be resolved promptly through business-oriented negotiations before resorting to legal action in accordance with

the provisions of Section 11.2(b) hereof. The parties therefore agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation between the executives of the parties who have authority to settle the Dispute. Such negotiations shall commence upon the mailing of a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) from the appropriate executive of the requesting party to an appropriate executive of the responding party. If the Dispute has not been resolved by these Persons within thirty (30) days of the date of the Dispute Notice, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to a longer period, the Dispute shall be referred to the chief executive officer of each of Seller and Purchaser, for discussion and negotiation among them. In the event the Dispute has still not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the date of the Dispute Notice, then either party thereto may commence legal action in accordance with Section 11.2(b) hereof. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence and shall not be used for, or admitted in, any arbitration or court proceedings under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 11.2(a) shall preclude a party from seeking injunctive relief or other provisional remedy if the prerequisites to obtaining injunctive relief or other provisional remedy, including irreparable harm, are otherwise satisfied.

(b) (i) With respect to any Dispute that has not been resolved pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the City of New York and State of New York over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(ii) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5 (except not by facsimile).

(iii) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND,

ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 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.

11.4 Governing Law. 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 the choice of law principles of such State that would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

11.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (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 Purchaser may assign its rights, but not its obligations, to a wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations.

11.8 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Seller, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement or the Seller or Purchaser Documents of or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
