Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the obtaining of the E-Care Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of E-Care, to the extent that it determines in good faith, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so in order to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties to E-Care's stockholders under applicable law, may (subject to this and the following sentences) terminate this Agreement solely in order to concurrently enter into any E-Care Acquisition Agreement with respect to any E-Care Superior Proposal, but only at a time that is after the fifth (5th) business day following E-Care's receipt of written notice advising E-Care that the Board of Directors of E-Care is prepared to accept an E-Care Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such E-Care Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such E-Care Superior Proposal.

|
Nothing contained in this Section 4.2 shall prohibit E-Care from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to E-Care's stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of E-Care, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law; provided, however, that neither E-Care nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement, the Acquisition, the issuance of E-Care Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, or approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, an E-Care Takeover Proposal.

After execution, parties shall facsimile, scan/email or mail the signature page to the other party; each of such shall be considered original signature of the other party.
SECTION 9.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.8. Governing Law; Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party waives the claim of forum nonconvenience. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, its formation or any breach or alleged breach hereof, shall be determined and settled by arbitration in the City of San Xxxx, State of California, conducted by an arbitrator selected by the parties from a panel of a private arbitration mediation service comprised essentially of retired judges. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the then existing rules, regulations, practices and procedures of JAMS/Endispute. Any decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties to the arbitration and may be enforced by the judgment and order of any court having competent jurisdiction. The party first submitting the dispute to arbitration shall pay the full administrative fee (for each party to the dispute) and shall be responsible for the total cost of the arbitrator's time, and any cancellation, adjournment, settlement, and/or other standard administrative fees. All fees will be in accordance with the private arbitration mediation service’s fee schedule in effect at the time of the filing. The arbitrators shall have the right to award a party recovery of all costs relating to the arbitration including, without limitation, the above mentioned fees and costs, as well as reimbursement of legal fees and expenses.
SECTION 9.9. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 9.10. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
