Mutual Negotiations This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.
Labor Disputes No labor disturbance by or dispute with employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.
Labor Relations; Employees (i) The Company employs a total of approximately 20 employees, and Phase Three employs a total of approximately 220 employees. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(q) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (A) neither the Company, Phase Three nor SWI is delinquent in payments to any of its employees for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or other direct compensation for any services performed by them to date or amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees, (B) upon termination of the employment of any such employees, neither the Company, any subsidiary, Parent, Acquisition Sub nor the Surviving Corporation will by reason of anything done prior to the Closing be liable to any of such employees for so-called "severance pay" or any other payments, (C) there is no unfair labor practice complaint against the Company pending before the National Labor Relations Board or any comparable Governmental Authority, and none of the Company's or any subsidiary's employment policies or practices is currently being audited or investigated by any federal, state or local government agency, (D) there is no labor strike, dispute, claim, charge, lawsuit, proceeding, labor slowdown or stoppage pending or threatened against or involving the Company, Phase Three or SWI, (E) no labor union has taken any action with respect to organizing the employees of the Company, Phase Three or SWI, (F) neither any grievance nor any arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective bargaining agreements is pending and no claim therefor has been asserted against the Company, Phase Three or SWI, and (G) no employee has informed any officer of the Company or Phase Three that such employee will terminate his or her employment or engagement with the Company, Phase Three or the Surviving Corporation. To the best knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any employee of the Company, Phase Three or SWI is in violation of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement or any other contract or agreement relating to the relationship of such employee with the Company, Phase Three or SWI or any other party because of the nature of the business conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company, Phase Three or SWI. All individuals considered by the Company, Phase Three or SWI to be independent contractors are, and could only be reasonably considered to be, in fact "independent contractors" and are not "employees" or "Common law employees" for tax, benefits, wage, labor or any other legal purpose.
