(q) No Manipulation of Stock. Between April 23, 2002 and the date hereof, neither Holdings, nor any of its directors or officers, has taken, in violation of applicable law, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or which has constituted, stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of Holdings securities.
(r) Contracts. The contracts filed as exhibits to the SEC Filings that are currently material to Holdings and have not expired by their terms (or are not described in the SEC filings as having been terminated) are in full force and effect on the date hereof, and neither Holdings nor, to Holdings' knowledge, any other party to such contracts is in breach of or default under any of such contracts which would have a Holdings Material Adverse Effect.
(s) Internal Controls. Holdings has:

(t) Disclosures. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 5, including the VitalStream Disclosure Schedule, together with the SEC Filings, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements and information contained in this Section 5, including the VitalStream Disclosure Schedule, together with the SEC filings, in light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) Exclusivity. None of PlayStream nor its members will (and PlayStream will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to), during the period between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing Date and the date 45 days after the date of this Agreement, (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of any Units or other voting securities, or any substantial portion of the assets, of any of PlayStream and its Subsidiaries (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange) or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

In addition, on the Employee Transition Date, Buyer will pay each terminated PlayStream employee all accrued but unpaid paid time off through the Employee Transition Date; provided that instead of making such payment to a terminated PlayStream employee, Buyer may give such terminated PlayStream employee (if hired by Buyer) a credit for all accrued but unpaid paid time off through the Employee Transition Date if such employee so elects in writing.

Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of Holdings and PlayStream. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by an Authorized Buyer Party on behalf of the Buying Parties or PlayStream's Representative on behalf of PlayStream, nor shall any such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. The use of the neuter, male or female gender in these Transaction Documents shall include each of the neuter, male and female gender.
(l) Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
(m) Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 11(o) below), in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
(n) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Orange County, California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring or seek removal of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in or to any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.
(o) Waiver of Trial By Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 11(P) IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CONSUMMATED THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IF THIS SECTION 11(P) WERE NOT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
