Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the Title Commitment and Survey.

All items that are not objected to by Purchaser in a timely delivered and valid Title Objection Notice shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances. Seller shall be deemed to elect not to cure or remove any Title Objection Matters objected to in a Title Objection Notice unless, within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of such Title Objection Notice (the “Title Response Period”), Seller gives Purchaser written notice that Seller elects to cure such Title Objection Matters (a “Title Cure Notice”).

At Closing, Seller may use a portion of the Purchase Price to pay or discharge the Mandatory Seller Removal Items, provided that: (i) Seller shall deliver to the Title Company, on or prior to the Closing Date, instruments in recordable form and sufficient to satisfy and discharge such liens and encumbrances of record, together with funds sufficient for the cost of recording or filing such instruments; or (ii) Seller shall deposit with the Title Company sufficient funds, as deemed acceptable by the Title Company, to insure the obtaining and recording of such satisfactions and conveyances in accordance with payoff letters from institutional lenders.

(e) If the Title Commitment or any Title/Survey Update discloses judgments, bankruptcies or similar returns against persons or entities having names the same as or similar to that of Seller or of any party making up Seller but which returns are not against Seller or such party, Seller, on request, shall deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company affidavits to the effect that such judgments, bankruptcies or returns are not against Seller or any other party making up Seller, in form and substance sufficient to permit removal of same as exceptions in the Title Policy.

orders, including without limitation, Gaming Approvals, required to be obtained or made by Purchaser or a Seller Party or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Lease Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Lease Amendment, including, without limitation, the continued operation of the Business following Closing pursuant to the Lease, and (iii) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions with respect to this Agreement, as required under any applicable Legal Requirements (“Governmental Approvals”), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Approvals, subject to the limitations elsewhere in this Section 7.4.

Section 7.5 Further Assurances and Actions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, including to Section 7.4 above, each party hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Legal Requirements and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, using their respective commercially reasonable efforts (i) to obtain (a) all Seller Permits and (b) consents of parties to Contracts material to the operation of the Property, in each case as are necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to fulfill all conditions precedent applicable to such party pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) No injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge shall be in effect under any action, suit or proceeding before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative agency of any federal, state, local or foreign jurisdiction or before any arbitrator that (A) prevents consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) would cause any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be rescinded following consummation, provided that no Seller Party has not solicited or encouraged any such action, suit or proceeding; and

(d) (i) As of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing, each and every representation and warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty contains a materiality qualifier, in all respects), and (ii) Purchaser shall not be in default under any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(e) Purchaser shall have executed and delivered, at or before Closing, all items to be executed and delivered by Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.3.

(f) All conditions precedent to the consummation of the Operator Merger shall have been fulfilled or waived in accordance with the terms of the Operator Merger Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and Seller Parent;

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller Parent, if the Operator Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

(c) by either Purchaser or Seller Parent, if: (i) any Gaming Authority has either notified any such party, or made a recommendation or determination, that such Gaming Authority will not issue to Purchaser or its respective Affiliates or Gaming Representatives all necessary Gaming Approvals for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Closing Date; or (ii) any Gaming Authority has advised Purchaser or its respective Affiliates or Gaming Representatives to withdraw any application for Gaming Approvals for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (and has not advised such Person to re-submit such application with modifications thereto) (but only if such application is a requirement for the consummation of the transactions contemplate hereby); provided, however, that if Purchaser’s breach of representation, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to the failure to obtain any necessary Gaming Approvals, this Agreement may not be terminated by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10.1(c), and if a Seller Party’s breach of representation, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to the failure to obtain any necessary Gaming Approvals, this Agreement may not be terminated by Seller Parent pursuant to this Section 10.1(c);

(d) by Purchaser, if Seller Parent shall have wrongfully terminated this Agreement or any Seller Party has breached any its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement that (i) would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.1 and (ii) if it is capable of cure, is not cured in all material respects by the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) shall be a Termination Event hereunder and the provisions of Section 10.4 shall apply;

(e) by Seller Parent, if Purchaser has wrongfully terminated this Agreement or Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of such parties set forth in this Agreement that: (i) would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of

a condition set forth in Section 9.2; and (ii) if it is capable of cure, is not cured in all material respects by the Closing Date; provided, however, that if a Seller Party’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, such Purchaser breach, this Agreement may not be terminated by Seller Parent pursuant to this clause (e); and

(f) by Purchaser, as expressly provided in Sections 2.5(c), 2.5(d), 2.5(f), 7.6, or 9.1, but in all events subject to the provisions of Section 10.4.

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void and of no further force or effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of Purchaser or any Seller Party, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives hereunder, other than as expressly provided herein; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall relieve or limit the Liability of any party hereto for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any other party to compel specific performance by such breaching party of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent specific performance is available to such other party under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Remedies

(a) Mutual Remedies before the Closing. Notwithstanding any termination right granted in Section 10.1 or the remedies set forth in this Section 10.3, in the event of the nonfulfillment of any condition to Purchaser’s or Seller’s Closing obligations (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(c), 9.1(d), 9.2(a) and 9.2(b)), in the alternative, that party may elect to proceed to the Closing notwithstanding the nonfulfillment of such Closing condition, it being understood that the consummation of the Closing shall be deemed a waiver of the breach of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that caused the nonfulfillment of such condition and of such other party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto to the extent that such other party shall have actual knowledge of such breach and the Closing shall nonetheless occur.

(b) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the covenants in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and the parties may bring an action for specific performance. Such remedies shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies, including damages to extent provided for herein, that any party hereto may have under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, a party hereto may not seek specific performance in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(c).

Section 10.4 Termination Event Cure.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, Purchaser may deliver written notice, prepared reasonably and in good faith (a “Termination Notice”), to the Seller Parties electing to terminate this Agreement, which Termination Notice shall include, in order to be effective, (i) a description of such Termination Event, (ii) a description of any actions

required, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, in order to cure, remedy or repair such Termination Event (including, without limitation, all events, facts, acts, conditions, and/or circumstances that resulted in or constitute the basis of the applicable Termination Event) which are not otherwise required of Tenant under the Lease (the “Termination Event Cure”), and (iii) a reasonable estimate of the Damages (if any) incurred, or which would be incurred should the Closing occur, by Purchaser in connection with such Termination Event (the “Termination Event Damages”) and a description of any actions that, if taken by the Seller Parties, would cause such Termination Event Damages to be reduced (and the quantum of such reduction) (it being agreed by Purchaser that Purchaser shall be deemed to have not suffered any Termination Event Damages if Tenant, in its Termination Event Certificate (as defined below), identifies such Termination Event (and all underlying events, facts, acts, conditions and circumstances that resulted in such Termination Event) and affirmatively states that the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, all payment obligations and termination rights therein) remain unmodified notwithstanding such Termination Event (and underlying events, facts, acts, conditions and circumstances)).

(b) Seller Parent shall have 10 days following its receipt of a Termination Notice to elect, which election shall be made by written notice (a “Termination Event Election Notice”) to Purchaser and shall be in Seller Parent’s sole and absolute discretion, to either:

(i) require Purchaser to consummate the Closing notwithstanding the occurrence of the Termination Event described in such Termination Notice, in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

(A) Purchaser, Seller and Seller Parent shall proceed to Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of such Termination Event;

(B) it shall be an additional condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing that, at Closing, Seller Parent shall:

a. pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any and all Termination Event Damages (it being agreed that Seller Parent may elect to accept a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the amount of such Termination Event Damages in lieu of Seller Parent’s direct payment thereof); provided, however, that if Seller Parent disputes the calculation of the Termination Event Damages identified in Purchaser’s Termination Notice, Seller Parent may raise such dispute in its Termination Event Election Notice, but such dispute shall not affect Seller Parent’s obligation to pay to Purchaser all such Termination Event Damages at Closing, and Purchaser and Seller Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute for thirty (30) days following Closing, failing which (1) either Purchaser or Seller Parent may submit such dispute for resolution to a nationally-recognized accounting firm that does not regularly perform services for Purchaser, Seller Parent, or any Affiliate thereof (the

“Arbitrator”), (2) each of Purchaser and Seller Parent shall submit to the Arbitrator its estimate of such Termination Event Damages (each such party’s “Termination Event Damages Estimate”), (3) the decision of such Arbitrator shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Seller Parent, absent manifest error, and enforceable by Purchaser and/or Seller Parent in any court of competent jurisdiction, (4) the Arbitrator shall be instructed, and shall only be permitted, to resolve such dispute by choosing Seller Parent’s or Purchaser’s Termination Event Damages Estimate, and to deliver its decision in writing as promptly as practicable following the submission thereof to the Arbitrator, but in any event within fifteen (15) days of such submission, (5) the Arbitrator shall be instructed to maintain such dispute, its decision, each party’s Termination Event Damages Estimate, and all information submitted to the Arbitrator in connection therewith and the resolution thereof confidential, and (6) the fees and costs of the Arbitrator shall be paid by Purchaser, if the Arbitrator selects Seller Parent’s Termination Event Damage Estimate, or Seller Parent, if the Arbitrator selects Purchaser’s Termination Event Damage Estimate;

b. cause Tenant to deliver a written certificate (a “Termination Event Certificate”) on which Purchaser shall be entitled to rely, which shall identify such Termination Event in reasonable detail, obligate Tenant to diligently pursue and complete the Termination Event Cure, and certify that the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended by the Lease Amendment (including, without limitation, all payment obligations of the Tenant under the Lease, as amended by the Lease Amendment), shall not be deemed modified or supplemented in any way as a result of or in connection with such Termination Event, which Termination Event Certificate shall be approved by Purchaser in its good faith, reasonable discretion (and shall not be deemed so approved by Purchaser unless and until it is countersigned by Purchaser); and deliver a confirmation by the guarantor under that certain Guaranty to be made by Seller Parent for the benefit of Purchaser, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Lease Guaranty”), in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser in Purchaser’s good faith, reasonable discretion, confirming Tenant’s payment and performance of all obligations under the Termination Event Certificate including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to diligently pursue and complete the Termination Event Cure, into Seller Parent’s guaranteed obligations under the Guaranty; or

(ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

(c) In the event that Seller Parent fails to deliver a Termination Event Election Notice within 10 days following its receipt of a Termination Notice, then Seller Parent shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, in which case neither party shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

Section 10.5 No Punitive or Consequential Damages. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event this Agreement is terminated, under no circumstances shall a party hereto be liable to any other party hereto for any punitive damages, lost profits, diminution in value, consequential damages, special damages, incidental damages, indirect damages, exemplary damages or other unforeseen damages. In no event shall any multiples or similar valuation methodology (whether based on “multiple of profits,” “multiple of earnings,” “multiple of cash flows” or similar items) be used in calculating the amount of any damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall limit Purchaser’s remedies at law or in equity if, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Seller Parties sell all or a portion of, or any direct or indirect, legal or beneficial interest in, the Property to someone other than Purchaser or its designee or otherwise takes action that renders the remedy of specific performance impossible or impractical to obtain.

ARTICLE 11

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Seller Parties set forth in Sections 5.1(a) (Organization of Seller), 5.1(b) (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 5.1(f) (Permits; Compliance with Laws), and 5.1(g) (Bankruptcy), as updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each, a “Fundamental Representation” and, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations (the “Fundamental Survival Period”), and all other representations and warranties of the Seller Parties set forth in Sections 5.1, as updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (together with the Fundamental Representations, collectively, the “Seller Representations”) shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months (the “Base Survival Period”).

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Article 6, the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Article 6 (the “Purchaser Representations”) shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months (together with the Fundamental Survival Period and the Base Survival Period, each a “Survival Period”).

(c) (i) The obligations, covenants and agreements to be performed or satisfied by any Seller Party that by their terms are required to be performed exclusively before the Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months and (ii) the obligations, covenants and agreements to be performed or satisfied by any Seller Party that by their terms are required to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive the Closing until they have been performed or satisfied.

(d) The parties agree that no claim may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement after the expiration of the Survival Period applicable to such representations and warranties; provided, however, that all Seller Representations and Purchaser Representations shall continue to survive beyond the Survival Period applicable thereto if a claim for a breach thereof is made prior to the expiration of such Survival Period. The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect a party in respect of any good faith claim made by such party in reasonable detail in writing received by an Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period provided herein.

Section 11.2 Indemnification

(a) From and after the Closing, the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective agents, trustees, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, obligations, damages, claims, and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amounts paid in settlement of the foregoing (“Damages”), incurred by or asserted against any Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from:

(i) subject in all instances to Section 11.1, any breach of any Seller Representations;

(ii) the Excluded Contractual Liabilities; and/or

(iii) subject in all instances to Section 11.1, any breach of any obligation, covenant or agreement to be performed or satisfied by any Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Seller Closing Certificates, including, without limitation, any reimbursement and indemnification obligation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, if and to the extent the Lease (a) requires Tenant to indemnify (a “Lease Indemnity”) any Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any Damages for which the Seller Parties are otherwise obligated to indemnify such Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to the indemnity set forth above in this Section 11.2(a) (the “Seller Party Indemnity”), and/or (b) the Lease expressly requires Tenant to bear all liability, responsibility, and remedial obligations for any Damages for which the Seller Parties are otherwise obligated to indemnify such Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Seller Party Indemnity, then the applicable provisions of the Lease shall control and such Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be prohibited from pursuing any remedies under the Seller Party Indemnity in connection with such Damages, but only for so long as Tenant diligently pursues the payment, cure or other remedy of such Damages in accordance with the Lease, it being agreed that Tenant’s failure to diligently pursue the payment, cure or other remedy of such Damages in accordance with the Lease shall entitle such Purchaser Indemnified Parties to pursue all rights and remedies available to it hereunder (so long as, with respect to a breach of any Seller

Representations, a claim therefor was made prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period).

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Seller Parties and their respective Affiliates, and their respective agents, trustees, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred by or asserted against any Seller Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from:

(i) subject in all instances to Section 11.1, any breach of any Purchaser Representations; or

(ii) any breach of any obligation, covenant or agreement to be performed or satisfied by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Purchaser Closing Certificate, including, without limitation, any reimbursement and indemnification obligation.

Section 11.3 Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages is to be made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) entitled to indemnification hereunder, such party shall give written notice briefly describing the claim and, to the extent then ascertainable, the monetary damages sought (each, a “Notice”) to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article 11. Any failure to submit any such notice of claim to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 11.4 Defense of Third Party Claims

(a) If any Legal Proceeding is initiated against an Indemnified Party by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this Article 11 may be sought, Notice thereof, together with copies of all notices and communication relating to such Third Party Claim, shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If it so elects to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to:

(i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party;

(ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such Legal Proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Parties and an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there

may be one or more legal defenses or defense strategies available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Party or that there exists a conflict of interest, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel (provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party); and

(iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made (x) only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (y) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, without any admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to or by such Indemnified Party, and provides only for monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

Section 11.5 Limitations on Indemnity. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to, indemnification from any of the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representations) unless the aggregate claims for Damages of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representation) exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), in which event the Sellers shall be liable for all such Damages in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ aggregate recovery against the Seller Parties in connection with claims made pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event and under no circumstances shall the foregoing be interpreted as a limit on Tenant’s liability for any matters under the Lease.

Section 11.6 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, except with respect to actual fraud, the indemnities provided in this Article 11 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any

Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement; provided, however; that this exclusive remedy for Damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 11 shall be treated by the parties for income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price, unless (a) otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) or (b) Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall otherwise agree in writing.
