The Company and its Subsidiary are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiary are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiary.

12.11 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
12.13 Disclosure Schedules. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement are made and given subject to disclosures contained in (a) the schedules attached to this agreement (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”), and (b) where specifically referenced by the
21
particular representation or warranty, the SEC Documents. The Company will not be, nor will it be deemed to be, in any breach of any such representations or warranties in connection with any such matter so disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules or in the SEC Documents, provided that such representation or warranty made specific reference to the SEC Documents. Where only brief particulars of a matter are set out or referred to in the Disclosure Schedules, or a reference is made only to a particular part of a disclosed document, full particulars of the matter and the full contents of the document are deemed to be disclosed. Inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules will not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, taken as a whole, or as an admission of liability or obligation of the Company to any third party. The specific disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedules have been organized to correspond to section references in this Agreement to which the disclosure may be most likely to relate, together with appropriate cross references when disclosure is applicable to other sections of this Agreement; provided, however, that any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules will apply to and will be deemed to be disclosed for the purposes of this Agreement generally. In the event that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and matters disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules, information contained in the Disclosure Schedules will prevail and will be deemed to be the relevant disclosure.
