provided that such extension of time does not, and would not reasonably be

termination subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof; provided,
--------
however, that no party shall have any liability for any such breach unless such
-------
breach, together with all other breaches of such party shall, in the aggregate,
constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect or a New Partner Material Adverse
Effect; provided, further, that for purposes of determining whether or not such
-------- -------
breach or breaches, in the aggregate, constitute a Company Material Adverse
Effect or a New Partner Material Adverse Effect, any materiality qualification
of any individual representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in

10.1 Interpretation Not Affected by Headings. The division of
---------------------------------------
this Omnibus Agreement into sections, articles, paragraphs and other portions
and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the construction or interpretation of this Omnibus Agreement. The
terms "this Omnibus Agreement", "hereof", "herein", "hereunder" and similar
expressions refer to this Omnibus Agreement and not to any particular Section,
article, paragraph or other portion hereof and include any agreement or
instrument supplementary or ancillary hereto.
-21-
10.2 Governing Law. This Omnibus Agreement shall be governed and
-------------
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware (regardless of
the laws that might be applicable under principles of conflicts of law) as to
all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction,
effect and performance.
10.3 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained
------------
in this Omnibus Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained

any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, the parties hereto agree to
use their best efforts to achieve the purpose of such provision by a new legally
valid and enforceable stipulation.
10.4 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do all such acts
------------------

10.5 Amendment; Waiver.
-----------------
10.5.1 Amendment. This Omnibus Agreement may be amended,

modified or superseded, and any of the terms, covenants or

conditions hereof may be waived, at any time by a written instrument executed by
the parties hereto (other than the Company) or, in the case of a waiver, by the
party waiving compliance. The failure at any time of any party hereto to
require performance by another party of any responsibility or obligation
provided for in this Omnibus Agreement shall in no way affect the full right to
require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any
party of a breach of any provision of this Omnibus Agreement by another party
constitute a waiver of the responsibility or obligation itself.
10.5.2 Restriction. Except with the prior written consent of
-----------
the Company, the parties hereto shall not amend, waive or otherwise modify this
Agreement in any manner that would be reasonably likely to have the effect of
(i) increasing any cost or liability on the part of the Fremont Partners in
connection with the consummation of the transactions provided for hereby or
thereby or (ii) decreasing the likelihood of the Closing occurring under this
Agreement or of the closing occurring under the Interest Purchase Agreement.

upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and

rights or obligations hereunder, to any other person without the prior written
consent of each of the other parties hereto, other than to a wholly owned
-23-
Affiliate and where the assignor continues to remain fully liable for all its
obligations hereunder.
10.7 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
--------------------
the other parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies or
damages available to any of them in the event of any breach of this Omnibus
Agreement to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties under
this Omnibus Agreement.
