4.7 Financial Statements. Schedule 4.7 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows of VRBO and Support Services (the “Audited Financial Statements”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Most Recent Year End”), unaudited management presentation of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows of VRBO and Support Services (the “Unaudited Financial Statements” and collectively with the Audited Financial Statements, the

“Financial Statements”) as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 (the “Most Recent Period End”) and an unaudited management presentation of a projection of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows of VRBO and Support Services for the period beginning October 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2006 (the “Projection”). The Financial Statements (including the notes thereto with respect to the Most Recent Year End) are true and correct and have been prepared on both a cash basis applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby. The Financial Statements present fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of VRBO and Support Services as of such dates and for such periods covered thereby; provided that the Financial Statements for the Most Recent Period End shall be subject to normal year end adjustments (which shall not be material individually or in the aggregate). The Projection has been prepared on both a cash basis applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the period covered thereby in good faith consistent with Seller’s past practices. The books of account of VRBO and Support Services reflect as of the dates shown thereon all items of income and expenses, and all assets, liabilities and accruals of VRBO and Support Services required to be reflected therein. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements and the Projection, neither Seller nor any Seller Entity is a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.

Such accounts receivable represent bona fide claims against debtors for sales and other charges, and are not subject to discount except for normal cash and immaterial trade discounts. Such prepaid accounts represent amounts collected by Seller Entities for Listings the terms of which have not yet begun, and are not subject to refund or discount. The amount carried for doubtful accounts and allowances disclosed in the Financial Statements and the Projection were calculated in a manner consistent with the Seller Entities’ past practices and customs and is sufficient to provide for any losses that may be sustained on realization of the receivables.

4.9 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Seller nor any Seller Entity has any liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) except (a) liabilities disclosed in the Financial Statements (or in the related notes) and the Schedules hereto or (b) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Most Recent Period End and on or prior to the date of this Agreement that (i) are not individually in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), (ii) do not result from a breach of contract, tort or violation of law, and (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller, any Seller Entity, the Purchased Assets or the Business.

4.10 Controls. Seller and the Seller Entities have established and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances (a) that transactions, receipts and expenditures of the Seller Entities are being executed and made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management of Seller or the Seller Entities, (b) that

transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with the terms hereof and to maintain accountability for assets, (c) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets any Seller Entity, and (d) that the amount recorded for assets on the books and records of the Seller Entities is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Neither Seller, the Seller Entities, the Auditor, nor Seller’s Accountants, nor, to Seller’s or any Seller Entity’s knowledge, any current or former employee, officer, director, Trust Actor, manager, consultant or member of Seller or any Seller Entity, has identified or been made aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Seller’s or any Seller Entity’s management, the Related Parties or other current or former employees, officers, directors, Trust Actors, managers, consultants or members of Seller who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by Seller and the Seller Entities, or any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

law, in each case as previously disclosed to Buyer in writing). Each Benefit Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms herein and therein, without liability to Buyer or Parent, Seller, any Seller Entity or any ERISA Affiliate, except as otherwise provided in the Benefit Plan.

(d) Each Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA is funded through an insurance company contract and is not a “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code. No Benefit Plan provides health benefits that are not fully insured through an insurance contract. Neither Seller, any Seller Entity nor any ERISA Affiliate has any current or future liability for life, health, medical or other welfare benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA (or similar state law) and at no expense to Seller or any Seller Entity (other than administrative expenses) except for reimbursements of COBRA premiums to former employees. No Benefit Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9).

(e) Neither Seller nor any Seller Entity is bound by or subject to (and none of their respective assets or properties, including the Purchased Assets, is bound by or subject to) any arrangement with any labor union.

Except with respect to any employee of Seller or any Seller Entity identified on Schedule 4.12 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule that is located or employed in the United States Virgin Islands, the services provided by employees of Seller and the Seller Entities are terminable at the will of Seller, the Seller Entities and any ERISA Affiliate.

(g) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Seller and the Seller Entities, nor the consummation by Seller and the Seller Entities of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will (i) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any officer, director, Trust Actor, manager, member or employee of Seller or any Seller Entity under any Benefit Plan or otherwise, except as provided in Article III hereof, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Benefit Plan, or (iii) except as required by the Code, result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

(h) Any Benefit Plan that covers employees who perform services outside the United States is specifically identified in Schedule 4.13(h) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “International Plans”). Each International Plan has been established, maintained and administered in compliance with its terms and conditions and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutory or regulatory laws that are applicable to such International Plan. Furthermore, no International Plan has unfunded liabilities that as of the date of this Agreement will not be offset by insurance or fully accrued. Except as required by law, no condition exists that would prevent Seller, any Seller Entity, Parent or Buyer from terminating or amending any International Plan at any time for any reason without liability to Parent, Buyer, Seller, any Seller Entity or any ERISA Affiliate (other than ordinary administration expenses or routine claims for benefits).

(i) No employee, director, consultant, or advisor of Seller or any Seller Entity (a “Seller Service Provider”) is in violation of any material term of any employment contract, intellectual property disclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement, or any restrictive covenant to a former employer that in any way adversely affects (a) the right of any Seller Service Provider to provide services to Seller or any Seller Entity or the scope or type of work in which the Seller Service Provider may be engaged in connection with services to be provided to Seller or any Seller Entity, or (b) the ability of Seller and any Seller Entity to conduct their business as currently conducted or currently proposed to be conducted. To the knowledge of Seller or any Seller Entity, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any such contract, covenant or instrument with a former employer under which any Seller Service Provider is now obligated.

(j) Schedule 4.13(j) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule lists each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) sponsored or maintained by Seller, any Seller Entity and each ERISA Affiliate. Each such nonqualified deferred compensation plan has been operated since January 1, 2005 in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any IRS guidance issued with respect thereto.

10.3 Security.

(a) On the date that the Escrow Agent executes this Agreement, Buyer will deposit the Cash Escrow Amount, without any act of Seller or any Seller Entity, with U.S. Bank, National Association, as Escrow Agent, such deposits to collectively constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) to be governed by the terms set forth herein. The Escrow Agent may execute this Agreement following the date hereof and such later execution, if so executed after the date hereof, shall not affect the binding nature of this Agreement as of the date hereof between the other signatories hereto. The Cash Escrow Amount may be invested as jointly directed in writing by Buyer and Xxxxx Xxxxxx as representative of Seller and the Seller Entities (the “Representative”) from time to time.

(b) Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall remain in existence during the period following the Closing for one (1) year (the “Escrow Period”). Upon the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing, and within five (5) business days thereafter, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) shall be released from the Escrow Fund to VRBO, provided there have been no claims for Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount against the Escrow Fund. Upon the expiration of the Escrow Period, and within five (5) business days thereafter, any and all amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be released from the Escrow Fund to VRBO after accounting for (i) all amounts theretofore validly distributed out of the Escrow Fund to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof and (ii) the retention of an amount equal to such portion of the remaining Escrow Fund which, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, subject to the objection of the Indemnifying Parties and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in a manner consistent with Section 12.14 hereof, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Losses Certificate (as defined in Section 10.3(d) hereof) delivered to the Indemnifying Parties prior to the end of the Escrow Period, which amount shall remain in the Escrow Fund (and the Escrow Fund shall remain in existence) until such claims have been resolved. As soon as such claims have been resolved (such resolution to be evidenced by the written agreement of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties or the written decision of the arbitrators as described below), and within five (5) business days thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to VRBO the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund not required to satisfy any remaining claims.

(c) As partial security for the indemnity provided for in Section 10.2 hereof and by virtue of this Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be reduced by the amount of Losses

incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reducing the Escrow Fund shall not be the Indemnified Parties’ exclusive remedy against the Indemnifying Parties for any Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties may recover any Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Parties in excess of the Escrow Fund.

(d) In the event that any Indemnified Party has incurred or sustained Losses or reasonably anticipates that it will incur or sustain Losses, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Parties from which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, a certificate signed by any officer of the Indemnified Party (a “Losses Certificate”) (i) stating that the Indemnified Party has incurred or sustained Losses or reasonably anticipates that it could incur or sustain Losses and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, sustained or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation or breach of warranty, agreement or covenant or other indemnity to which such item is related.

(e) The Indemnifying Parties shall have twenty (20) days following its receipt of a Losses Certificate to object to any claim or claims made in a Losses Certificate. In the event that the Indemnifying Parties has not objected within such twenty (20) day period, then the Escrow Fund shall be reduced by the amount set forth in the Losses Certificate. In the event the Indemnifying Parties so objects within such twenty (20) day period, such objection must be in the form of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Indemnifying Parties and delivered to the Indemnified Party (an “Objection Certificate”), which certificate shall set forth the item or items of Losses in the Losses Certificate to which the Indemnifying Parties is objecting and a reasonable basis for each such objection.

(f) For a period of fifteen (15) days after the delivery of an Objection Certificate, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Parties may demand arbitration as set forth in Section 12.14 of this Agreement.

10.4 Third Party Claims. In the event the Indemnified Parties become aware of a third party claim that the Indemnified Parties reasonably believe may result in a demand for indemnification, the Indemnified Parties shall notify the Indemnifying Parties of such claim, and the Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such claim. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right in their sole discretion to conduct the defense of and settle any such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In the event the Indemnifying Parties have consented to any such settlement, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article X to the amount of any claim

by the Indemnified Parties with respect to such settlement provided such claim does not exceed the settlement amount or other amount consented to by the Indemnifying Parties.

10.5 Reduction by Insurance Proceeds. The amount payable by the Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Parties with respect to any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Parties with respect to the Losses, and the Indemnified Parties agree to use their best efforts to collect any and all insurance proceeds to which it may be entitled in respect of any Losses. To the extent the Indemnifying Parties have satisfied their obligations to the Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses for which insurance claims remain uncollected, Buyer and Parent shall assign such claims to VRBO.

10.6 Escrow Agent’s Duties.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in any additional written escrow instructions which the Escrow Agent may receive after the date of this Agreement which are signed by an officer of Buyer and the Representative, and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties.

(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the Parties hereto or by any other person, excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the Parties hereto or to any other person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(e) The Escrow Agent may resign as Escrow Agent at any time with or without cause by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to each of Parent, Buyer and Seller, such resignation to be effective thirty (30) days following the date such notice is given. In addition, Buyer and the Representative may jointly remove the Escrow Agent as escrow agent at any time with or without cause, by an instrument (which may be executed in counterparts)

given to the Escrow Agent, which instrument shall designate the effective date of such removal. In the event of any such resignation or removal, a successor escrow agent which shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus of not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), shall be jointly appointed by Buyer and the Representative in writing. Any such successor escrow agent shall deliver to Parent, Buyer and Seller a written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Fund. Thereafter, the predecessor Escrow Agent shall be discharged for any further duties and liabilities under this Agreement.

(f) In performing any duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party for damages, losses or expenses, except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Agreement that the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will the Escrow Agent be liable or responsible if acting in good faith for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority. In addition, the Escrow Agent may consult with the legal counsel in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel. The Escrow Agent is not responsible for determining and verifying the authority of any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Party to this Agreement.

(g) If any controversy arises between the Parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. The Escrow Agent shall await the arbitrators’ decision as specified in Section 12.14 hereof and act to make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance with such decision.

(h) Buyer, Seller and the Seller Entities, and their respective successors and assigns, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, and disbursements that may be imposed on Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

(i) All fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent incurred in the ordinary course of performing its responsibilities hereunder, as set forth on the Escrow Agent’s fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit H, shall be paid one-half by Buyer or Parent and one-half by Seller or any Seller Entity within ten (10) days of receipt of a written invoice from Escrow Agent accompanied by evidence of a written invoice for such fees and expenses received by Escrow Agent. Any extraordinary fees and expenses, including without limitation any fees or expenses (including the fees or expenses of outside counsel to the Escrow Agent) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with a dispute over the distribution of the Escrow Fund or the validity of a Losses Certificate or Objection Certificate shall be paid one-half by Buyer or Parent and one-half

by Seller or any Seller Entity, within ten (10) days of receipt of a written invoice from Escrow Agent accompanied by evidence of a written invoice for such fees and expenses received by Escrow Agent.

11.1 Termination of the Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing as provided below:

(a) Parent and VRBO may terminate this Agreement as to all Parties by mutual written consent;

(b) Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to VRBO (i) in the event Seller or any Seller Entity has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Seller or any Seller Entity shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.3 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation and warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller or any Seller Entity or such breach of any representation or warranty by Seller or any Seller Entity is curable by such Seller or Seller Entity through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts within twenty (20) business days after delivery of such notice (the “Cure Period”), then for so long as such Seller or Seller Entity continues to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, (ii) that Buyer and Parent shall not approve the Financial Statements or the Projection or (iii) if the Closing shall have failed to occur on or before November 30, 2006 (the “Termination Date”) (unless the failure results primarily from Parent itself breaching any representation, warranty or covenants contained in this Agreement);

(c) VRBO may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Parent at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Parent or Buyer has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Buyer shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Parent or Buyer or such breach of any representation or warranty by Parent or Buyer is curable by Parent or Buyer through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts within twenty (20) business days after delivery of such notice, then for so long as Buyer and Parent continue to exercise their commercially reasonable efforts VRBO may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) prior to the expiration of the Cure Period or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Termination Date (unless the failure results

If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party; provided, however, that each Party hereto shall remain liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement that occurs prior to the Agreement’s termination; provided, further, that the provisions of Sections 6.4(a), Article XI and Article XII shall survive termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by VRBO solely as a result of the failure of Parent or Buyer to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.2(c), Parent shall pay VRBO an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) as reimbursement for fees and expenses incurred by Seller and the Seller Entities in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement.

12.2 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” In this Agreement, any reference to any event, change, condition or effect being “material” with respect to any entity or group of entities means any material event, change, condition or effect related to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, business, prospects, operations or

results of operations of such entity or group of entities. In this Agreement, any reference to a “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to any Seller or Seller Entity means any event, change or effect that is materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Business or the Purchased Assets owned by such Seller or Seller Entity, taken as a whole. In this Agreement, any reference to a Party’s “knowledge” means (i) as to Seller or each Seller Entity, the actual knowledge after due and diligent inquiry of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxx, and (ii) as to Buyer or Parent, the actual knowledge after due and diligent inquiry of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxx. The phrase “made available” in this Agreement shall mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the Party to whom such information is to be made available. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.3 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Exhibits, the Schedules, the Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder.

12.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties hereto. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

12.5 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

12.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to applicable principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court located within the State of Delaware, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction and such process. It is the intention of the parties hereto that

any claim, lien, settlement, accord, judgment or award arising out of any dispute involving this Agreement shall be readily enforceable against the assets of the non-prevailing party located in the Xxxx Islands and any other jurisdiction to which such assets have been transferred after the date of this Agreement.

12.7 Assignment. This Agreement and any of the rights, interests, or obligations incurred hereunder, in part or as a whole, at any time after the entire Purchase Price shall have been paid, are freely assignable by Buyer or Parent. This Agreement and any of the rights, interests, or obligations incurred hereunder, in part or as a whole, are assignable by Seller or any Seller Entity only upon the prior written consent of Buyer. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.8 Rules of Construction. The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

12.9 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any suit or other proceeding to construe or enforce any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement to be entered into pursuant hereto, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party’s or Parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (in addition to all other amounts and relief to which such Party or Parties may be entitled) shall be paid by the other Party or Parties.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

12.11 Telecopy Execution and Delivery. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties to this Agreement, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more Parties to this Agreement by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such Party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any Party to this Agreement, all Parties to this Agreement agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement.

12.12 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Parties. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy will preclude any other or further

exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising from this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver will not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

12.13 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the Closing occurs, Buyer and Parent will bear their own costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Seller and the Seller Entities will bear their own costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the preparation of the Financial Statements and the Projection.

12.14 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute between the Parties under this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Buyer and Parent on the one hand (the “Buying Parties”) and Seller and the Seller Entities on the other (the “Selling Parties”). In the event that, within fifteen (15) days after submission of any dispute under this Agreement to arbitration, the Buying Parties and Selling Parties cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within ten (10) days after the end of such fifteen (15) day period, the Buying Parties and Selling Parties shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select an arbitrator to conduct the arbitration.

(b) Any such arbitration shall be held in New Castle County, Delaware, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each Party, the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the Parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days after a decision of the arbitrator requiring payment by one Party to another, such Party shall make the payment to such other Party.

(c) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute between the Buying Parties and Selling Parties under this Agreement or arising out of the sale of the Purchased Assets. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any claim, lien, settlement, accord, judgment or award arising out of any dispute involving this Agreement shall be readily enforceable against the assets of the non-prevailing party located in the Xxxx Islands and any other jurisdiction to which such assets have been transferred after the date of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event a dispute, claim, suit, action or proceeding (including an arbitration proceeding) (an “Action”) arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is brought:

(i) against Seller or any Seller Entity by Buyer or Parent or their successors or assigns, and Seller or any Seller Entity prevails in such Action, then Seller and/or the Seller Entity shall be entitled to recover from Buyer or Parent, or their successors or assigns, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Seller and the Seller Entities in investigating or defending such Action; or

(ii) against Buyer or Parent by Seller or any Seller Entity, and Buyer or Parent prevails in such Action, then Buyer and/or Parent shall be entitled to recover from Seller and the Seller Entities, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Buyer and Parent in investigating or defending such Action.
