The assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer shall not enlarge any rights of third parties under contracts or arrangements with Buyer or Seller or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries.

(b) Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume or be bound by any obligations or liabilities of Seller or any affiliate of Seller of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known, unknown, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, now existing or hereafter arising.  Seller shall be responsible for and pay any and all obligations and liabilities of every kind or nature whatsoever relating to (i) the Excluded Assets; (ii) all liabilities of Seller other than the Assumed Liabilities; (iii) any event, act, omission, condition or any other state of facts occurring or existing prior to the Closing Date; (iv) any liability under any contract other than the Laundry Leases and the Transferred Contracts; (v) any liability with respect to Taxes (as defined in Section 2.8) of the Seller or Taxes attributable to the Subject Assets for any portion of any period or partial period ending on or before the Closing Date except for the Transaction Taxes as set forth in Section 1.10 herein; (vi) any liability arising out of or resulting from the matters disclosed on Schedule 2.13 and 2.18, except for the percentage fee and post-Closing administrative costs payable to the Law Offices of ▇▇▇▇ & Associates, Chartered (as such fees and costs are described in the engagement letter attached to Schedule 2.13) in connection with Hof’s lawsuit against American University which lawsuit is disclosed in Schedule 2.13; (vii) any liability of Seller to any current or former employee of Seller; and (viii) other than the Deferred Pre-Paid Card Liability, any liability of Seller arising out of, resulting from, or relating to the operation, lease, or ownership of the Subject Assets or Seller’s business prior to the Closing, including in connection with events commencing or occurring or circumstances existing prior to the Closing and continuing after the Closing, including but not limited to (A) liabilities arising out of or resulting from any Environmental Law or any release, storage, disposal, arrangement for disposal, or exposure to any Hazardous Substance and (B) the obligation to make any required commission payments, revenue sharing payments or route rental payments under any Laundry Lease with respect to amounts collected or received by Seller ((i) through (viii) collectively, “Excluded Liabilities”).

1.3 Purchase Price.  In consideration of the sale by Seller to Buyer of the Subject Assets, subject to the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer will pay an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to Thirty Nine Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars ($39,560,000.00), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4, plus unamortized, pro rata prepaid commissions paid to Maryland Management as of the Closing Date ( the “Prepaid Commission Payment”).  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

(a) at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller by wire transfer pursuant to wiring instructions provided by Seller, Thirty Seven Million Seven Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars ($37,720,000.00).  Within 5 days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to

8

Seller by wire transfer pursuant to wiring instructions provided by Seller, the Prepaid Commission Payment; and

(b) On the third anniversary of the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller by wire transfer pursuant to wiring instructions provided by Seller, the sum of One Million Eight Hundred and Forty Thousand Dollars ($1,840,000.00) (the “Earn-Out Payment”), provided that the Net Revenue targets set forth in Schedule 1.3(c) for the twelve months ending on June 30, 2010 have been met.  If the Net Revenue targets set forth in Schedule 1.3(c) for the twelve months ending on June 30, 2010 are not met, then Seller will not be entitled to any payment under this Section 1.3(c).  The term “Net Revenue” shall mean the gross receipts earned by the Buyer from the Laundry Leases and any other revenue as specified in Schedule 1.3(c) during the applicable period less the commissions incurred by the Buyer under the Laundry Leases during the applicable period, all as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change In Control at any time prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, then the Earn-Out Payment shall automatically become due and payable to the Seller (regardless of the Seller having met any such Net Revenue Targets), with such Earn-Out Payment to be paid to Seller, by wire transfer pursuant to wiring instructions provided by Seller, within 5 days of the Change In Control.  The Buyer shall calculate the Net Revenue under this Section 1.3(c) in good faith and with fair dealings and shall deliver such calculation to the Seller together with all supporting documentation upon which the Buyer relies in making such calculation and such other documentation as the Seller may reasonably request by July 20, 2010.  For purposes of this Section 1.3(c), the term “Change In Control” means (i) an acquisition subsequent to the date of this Agreement by any person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of a majority (i.e., greater than 50%) of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or (ii) the consummation of (A) a plan of complete liquidation of the Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation, (B) an agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation, or (C) a plan of merger or consolidation of Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation with any other corporation where the shareholders of Buyer or ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Corporation, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, did not, immediately after the consolidation or merger,  beneficially own, directly or indirectly,  shares representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the voting shares of the corporation issuing securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its parent corporation, if any).

1.4 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Equipment Adjustment.  Within 120 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall conduct a count of all washers and dryers included in the Route Equipment (the “Closing Equipment Count”) and shall deliver to Seller a schedule reflecting such count.  Seller shall be deemed to accept the Closing Equipment Count unless Seller delivers a notice of objection to Buyer within 10 days following receipt of the Closing Equipment Count.  If Seller provides a notice of objection to Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute.  If the parties are able to resolve such dispute, the Closing Equipment Count shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution and shall be conclusive

9

and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review.  If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days after delivery of a notice of objection by Seller, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.9.  The Closing Equipment Count as determined pursuant to arbitration shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review.  If the Closing Equipment Count as finally determined is less than the total number of washers and dryers listed on Schedule 1.4(a) as the Estimated Equipment Count (the “Estimated Equipment Count”), then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount in cash equal to (i) the Estimated Equipment Count  minus the Closing Equipment Count, multiplied by the Equipment Multiple listed on Schedule 1.4(a) (the “Equipment Multiple”), within 10 days following the final determination of the Closing Equipment Count.  If the Closing Equipment Count as finally determined equals or exceeds the Estimated Equipment Count, then no payment shall be required from Seller to Buyer under this Section 1.4(a).  For purposes of calculating the Closing Equipment Count, each stacked washer and dryer unit and 25 lb. or more tumbler dryer shall be counted as two (2) machines and each other washer and dryer shall be counted as one (1) machine.  The methodology for determining the adjustment of the Purchase Price set forth in this Section 1.4(a) is not intended to establish the allocation of the Purchase Price based on the fair market value of the Subject Assets, which the parties agree shall be as provided in Schedule 1.8.  The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.4(a).

(b) Laundry Lease Adjustment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restricted Laundry Lease” means a Laundry Lease which is not assignable or transferable to Buyer either by its terms or under applicable law without the consent of a third party.  Restricted Laundry Leases are listed by Seller on Schedule 1.4(b).  Within 15 days after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a schedule (the “Lost Lease Schedule”) setting forth each Restricted Laundry Lease with respect to which Buyer has lost all benefits or has never received any benefits (as contemplated by Section 1.9 of this Agreement), in each case solely as a result of the failure to obtain the required consent to the assignment to Buyer of such Restricted Laundry Lease, and not as a result of any action by Buyer in performing the obligations under such Restricted Laundry Lease or the expiration of such Restricted Laundry Lease under its terms (each, a “Lost Lease”).  Seller shall be deemed to accept the Lost Lease Schedule unless Seller delivers a notice of objection to Buyer within 15 days following receipt by Seller of the Lost Lease Schedule from Buyer.  If Seller provides a notice of objection to Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute.  If the parties are able to resolve such dispute, the Lost Lease Schedule shall be revised to the extent necessary to reflect such resolution and shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review.  If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 20 days after delivery of a notice of objection by Seller, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.9.  The Lost Lease Schedule as determined pursuant to arbitration shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to dispute or review.  For each Lost Lease under this Section 1.4(b), the Buyer shall pay to the Seller any profits received by the Buyer for such Lost Lease, after accounting for the Buyer’s expenses associated with such Lost Lease (which expenses shall be reasonable and consistent with the expenses historically incurred by the Seller with respect to such Lost Lease), during the period that the Buyer was performing under the Lost Lease.

10

The Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the total number of machines installed under the Lost Leases set forth on the Lost Lease Schedule as finally determined, multiplied by the Equipment Multiple (the “Lost Lease Amount”).  As promptly as practicable and in any event within 10 days after the Lost Lease Schedule is finally determined, Seller will deliver to Buyer by wire transfer pursuant to Buyer’s wire instructions, an amount equal to the Lost Lease Amount.   The methodology for determining the adjustment of the Purchase Price set forth in this Section 1.4(b) is not intended to establish the allocation of the Purchase Price based on the fair market value of the Subject Assets, which the parties agree shall be as provided in Schedule 1.8.  The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as necessary to reflect any payment.

1.5 Closing. Closing Date.  The closing of the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Seller (or at such other place as may be fixed by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller) on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”).

(d) Neither Seller, nor any of its affiliates has ever (i) provided health care or any other non-pension benefits to any employees after their employment was terminated (other than as required by Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA) or has ever promised to provide such post-termination benefits or (ii) maintained an Employee Program that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 401(a) or Section 412 of the Code, including, without limitation, any Multiemployer Plan.

(d) No Limitation on Certain Claims other than the Total Indemnity Cap Amount.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary other than the Total Indemnity Cap Amount, Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to dollar-for-dollar indemnification from the first dollar and shall not be subject to the Seller’s Basket, or the Representation and Warranty Indemnity Cap Amount, or any limitation as to time (other than applicable legal statutes of limitation) in seeking indemnification with respect to any of the following:

(i) Losses described in or arising under Sections 6.1(a), (c), (d), (e) or (f); or

6.3 Indemnification by Buyer.  Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 6, Buyer and its successors and permitted assigns agree subsequent to the Closing to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its subsidiaries and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (individually, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of all Losses arising out of, based upon or in connection with:

(a) fraud or an intentional misrepresentation by Buyer of any of its representations, or warranties in this Agreement or in any Schedule or agreement delivered under or in connection with this Agreement;

(b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Schedule or agreement delivered under or in connection with this Agreement;

35

(c)           any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Schedule or agreement delivered under or in connection with this Agreement;

(d)           any Assumed Liability; or

Claims under clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 6.3 shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as “Seller Indemnifiable Claims,” and Losses in respect of such claims shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as “Seller Indemnifiable Losses.”

6.4           Limitations on Indemnification by Buyer.

(a)           Maximum Indemnification.  Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (c)(ii) of this Section 6.4, Buyer’s obligation to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of Seller Indemnifiable Losses described in or arising under Section 6.3(b)  shall be limited, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to the Representation and Warranty  Indemnity Cap Amount.

(b)           Buyer’s Basket.  Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (c)(ii) of this Section 6.4, no indemnification shall be payable with respect to Seller Indemnifiable Losses described in or arising under Section 6.3(b)  except to the extent the cumulative amount of all such Seller Indemnifiable Losses exceeds Three Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Six Hundred dollars ($395,600.00) in the aggregate (the “Buyer’s Basket”), whereupon the total amount of such Seller Indemnifiable Losses shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)           No Limitation on Certain Claims Other than the Total Indemnity Cap Amount.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to dollar-for-dollar indemnification from the first dollar and shall not be subject to the Buyer’s Basket, or the Representation and Warranty  Indemnity Cap Amount, or any limitation as to time (other than applicable legal statutes of limitation) in seeking indemnification from the Buyer with respect to Seller Indemnifiable Losses described in or arising under (i) Sections 6.3(a), (c), (d), or (e); or (ii) Losses described in or arising under Section 6.3(b) involving a breach by Buyer of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.3. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the obligation of Buyer to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of any Seller Indemnifiable Losses under this Section 6 that are not subject to the Representation and Warranty Indemnity Cap Amount shall be limited, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to Thirty-Nine Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand dollars ($39,560,000.00) (the “Total Indemnity Cap Amount”).

(d)           Time Limitation.  Subject to the exception set forth in Section 6.4(c)(ii), no indemnification shall be payable to a Seller Indemnified Party with respect to any claim asserted after the Expiration Date which relates to Seller Indemnifiable Losses described in or

36

arising under Section 6.3(b); provided that any claim for indemnification as to which notice has been given prior to the Expiration Date shall survive such expiration until final resolution of such claim.

6.5           Notice; Defense of Claims.

(a)           Notice of Claims.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claim, liability or expense to which the indemnification obligations hereunder would apply, the indemnified party shall give notice thereof in writing (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party promptly will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability except (i) to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of the failure or delay in giving such Claim Notice and (ii) that no indemnification will be payable to an indemnified party with respect to any claim for which the Claim Notice is given after expiration of the period for which such claim may be made pursuant to Section 6.2(c) or 6.4(d) (as the case may be) of this Agreement.  Such Claim Notice shall state the information then available regarding the amount and nature of such claim, liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the liability or obligation is asserted.

(b)           Third Party Claims.  With respect to third party claims, if within 30 days after receiving the Claim Notice the indemnifying party gives written notice (the “Defense Notice”) to the indemnified party stating that (i) it may be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were successful and (ii) that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification.

The indemnifying party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all identifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled provided the indemnifying parties’ obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefore will be fully satisfied.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the indemnified party with all documents and information that the indemnified party shall reasonably request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions.  Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party.

37

If no Defense Notice is given by the indemnifying party, or if diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense.  If such claim, liability or expense is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available all information and assistance that the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense.

(c)           Non-Third Party Claims.  With respect to non-third party claims, if within 30 days after receiving the Claim Notice the indemnifying party does not give written notice to the indemnified party that it contests such indemnity, the amount of indemnity payable for such claim shall be as set forth in the Claim Notice.  If the indemnifying party provides written notice to the indemnified party within such 30-day period that it contests such indemnity, the parties shall attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with regard thereto within 30 days of delivery of the indemnifying party’s notice.  If the parties cannot reach agreement within such 30-day period, the matter shall be submitted for arbitration pursuant to Section 7.9.

6.6           Mitigation.

The parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party under this Section 6.

6.7           Exclusive Remedy.

This Section 6 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties for the breach (or alleged breach) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or made pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that these exclusive remedies will not (a) apply in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or  (b) be construed to preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require the other parties to perform its or their obligations under this Agreement.

6.8           Net Indemnity Payments.

All indemnification payments under this Section 6 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price, and will be calculated only after giving effect to any proceeds received from insurance policies covering the Loss that is the subject of the indemnity claim.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS.

7.1           Law Governing.  This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

7.2           Notices.  Any notice, request, demand other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, properly addressed with postage prepaid, on the next business day (or Saturday if sent for Saturday delivery) or (ii) if sent by registered or certified mail, upon the sooner of receipt or the expiration of 3 business days after deposit in United States post office

Any notice given hereunder may be given on behalf of any party by its counsel or other authorized representative.

7.3           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including the Schedules referred to herein and the other writings specifically identified herein or contemplated hereby or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, is complete, reflects the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all previous written or oral negotiations, commitments and writings.

7.4           Assignability; Severability.  This Agreement shall be assignable by Buyer to any direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer although no such assignment shall relieve Buyer  of any of  its obligations under this Agreement.  Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Seller or any Shareholder without the prior written consent of Buyer in its sole discretion.  This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder (including specifically but without limitation the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Shareholders set forth in Section 6) shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, executors, administrators, estates, heirs and permitted assigns, and no others.

Any provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this paragraph be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.  If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, either in time or in geographical range, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

7.5           Captions and Gender.  The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any term or provision hereof.  The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter pronoun, as the context may require.

7.6           Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term:

(a)           “affiliate” of a person shall mean a person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the first mentioned person;

(b)           “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly or as trustee or executor, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management policies of a person, whether through the ownership of stock, as trustee or executor, by contract or credit arrangement or otherwise;

40

(c)           “person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any unincorporated organization; and

(d)           “subsidiary” means any corporation more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of which, or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity more than fifty percent (50%) of the total equity interest of which, is owned directly or indirectly by Seller.

7.7           Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and delivered by facsimile transmission, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

7.8           Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may compliance with any condition or covenant set forth herein be waived, except by a writing duly and validly executed by each of the parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver, the party waiving compliance.  No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, or any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

7.9           Dispute Resolution.  Except with respect to injunctive relief, which may be sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, as more specifically set forth below, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted in accordance with this Section 7.9.  The arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York before a single arbitrator selected from an American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) list of proposed arbitrators with business law experience and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the AAA unless specifically modified herein.

The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration shall commence within 90 days of the date on which any party files a written demand for arbitration hereto.  In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses.  In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party.  However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission.  In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than 7 business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert.  The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within 6 months of the selection of the arbitrator.  The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability.  The arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages

41

or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.

The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, that they will share equally the fees and expenses of arbitration and that they will each bear their own attorneys’ fees and expenses, except as otherwise provided herein.  The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding.  Any party unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrator shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award.  This Section applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.  The provisions of this Section shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The prevailing party in any action for injunctive relief will be entitled to payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the arbitrator to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of this Section 7.9.  Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before the arbitrator based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of the venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before the arbitrator has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail are made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

7.10         Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto will bear its own expenses in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection herewith, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

7.11         Public Announcements.

Buyer and Seller shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.  In this regard, Seller acknowledges that Buyer intends to make a public announcement of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby promptly following the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
