time prior to the Closing Date if: (i) there shall be any actual or threatened
action or proceeding before any court or any governmental body which shall seek
to restrain, prohibit, or invalidate the transactions contemplated by this

proceed with the exchange contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any of the
transactions contemplated hereby are disapproved by any regulatory authority
whose approval is required to consummate such transactions or in the judgment of
such board of directors, made in good faith and based on the advice of counsel,
there is substantial likelihood that any such approval will not be obtained or
will be obtained only on a condition or conditions which would be unduly
burdensome, making it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange; (iii) there
shall have been any change after the date of the latest balance sheets of
Emissary and CHI, respectively, in the assets, properties, business, or

pursuant to this paragraph (a) of Section 7.1, no obligation, right, or
liability shall arise hereunder, and each party shall bear all of the expenses
incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of
this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated; (iv) the Closing Date
shall not have occurred by October 1, 2009; or (v) if CHI shall not have
provided responses satisfactory in CHI’s reasonable judgment to CHI’s request
for due diligence materials.
(b) This
Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by action of the
CHI Board if Emissary shall fail to comply in any material respect with any of
its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or if any of the

in any material respect, and, in either case if such failure is reasonably
subject to cure, it remains uncured for seven days after notice of such failure
is provided to CHI. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this paragraph
(b) of Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and
no obligation, right, or liability shall arise hereunder, except that Emissary
shall bear its own costs as well as the costs incurred by CHI in connection with
the negotiation, preparation, and execution of this Agreement and qualifying the
offer and sale of securities contemplated hereby for exemption from the
registration requirements of state and federal securities laws.

(c) This
Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by action of the
Emissary Board if CHI shall fail to comply in any material respect with any of
its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or if any of the
representations or warranties of CHI contained herein shall be inaccurate in any
material respect, and, in either case if such failure is reasonably subject to
cure, it remains uncured for seven days after notice of such failure is provided
to CHI. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this paragraph
