and shall become the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving

1.5 Effect on KBL
Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and this Agreement and
without any action on the part of KBL or the holders of any of the securities of
KBL, the following shall occur:
(a) Conversion of KBL Common
Stock. Other than any shares to be canceled pursuant to
Section 1.5(b) and subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.5(c),
each share of common stock, par value $.0001, of KBL (“KBL Common Stock”)
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be
automatically converted into one (1) share of common stock of PRWT (“PRWT Common
Stock”). Following the Merger, each certificate evidencing KBL
Common Stock shall automatically be deemed to represent the same number of
shares of PRWT Common Stock without surrender or exchange of such
certificate. Following the Merger, all shares of KBL Common Stock
that are not certificated and which are converted into PRWT Common Stock in the
Merger shall be deemed replaced by the same number of shares of uncertificated
PRWT Common Stock on the books and records of the Surviving Pubco’s transfer
agent and all other entities that maintain records with respect thereto. The
shares of PRWT Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable pursuant to this
Section 1.5(a) to Persons who hold Dissenting Shares (as defined in
Section 1.15) and exercise their appraisal rights pursuant to applicable
Delaware Law shall not be issued to such Persons and shall be
canceled.
2
(b) Cancellation of Treasury and
PRWT-Owned Stock. Each share of KBL Common Stock held by KBL
or owned by PRWT or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KBL or
PRWT immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished
without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.
(c) Adjustments to Exchange
Ratios. The numbers of PRWT Common Stock that the holders of
KBL Common Stock (and the number of PRWT Warrants and PRWT Units that holders of
KBL Warrants and KBL Units) are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger
shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or
distribution of securities convertible into PRWT Common Stock or KBL Common
Stock), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with
respect to PRWT Common Stock or KBL Common Stock occurring on or after the date
hereof and prior to the Effective Time except that no such adjustment shall be
made as a result of the recapitalization provided for in Section
1.6.
(d) No Fractional
Shares. No fraction of a share of PRWT Common Stock will be
issued by virtue of the Merger or the transaction contemplated hereby, and each
holder of shares of KBL Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a
fraction of a share of PRWT Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional
shares of PRWT Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder)
shall be deemed to receive from the Surviving Pubco, in lieu of such fractional
share, one (1) share of PRWT Common Stock.
(e) Conversion of KBL
Warrants. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
1.5(c), each warrant (“KBL Warrant”) to
purchase shares of KBL Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into a warrant (“PRWT Warrant”) to
purchase the equivalent number of shares of PRWT Common Stock having terms and
conditions substantially identical in all material respects to the terms and
conditions pertaining to the KBL Warrants. The PRWT Warrants shall be
governed by the Warrant Agreement dated July 19, 2007 between KBL and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust PRWT (“Continental”), as
Warrant Agent. Following the Merger, each certificate evidencing KBL
Warrants shall automatically be deemed to represent the same number of PRWT
Warrants without surrender or exchange of such certificate. Following
the Merger, all KBL Warrants that are not certificated shall be deemed replaced
by the same number of uncertificated PRWT Warrants on the books and records of
the Surviving Pubco’s transfer agent and all other entities that maintain
records with respect thereto.
3
(f) Conversion of KBL
Units. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
1.5(c), each unit (“KBL Unit”) consisting
of one (1) share of KBL Common Stock and one (1) KBL Warrant issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically
converted into a unit (“PRWT Unit”)
consisting of one (1) shares of PRWT Common Stock and (1) PRWT
Warrant. Following the Merger, each certificate evidencing KBL Units
shall automatically be deemed to represent the same number of PRWT Units without
surrender or exchange of such certificate. Following the Merger, all
KBL Units that are not certificated shall be deemed replaced by the same number
of uncertificated PRWT Units on the books and records of the Surviving Pubco’s
transfer agent and all other entities that maintain records with respect
thereto.
(g) No Further Ownership Rights
in KBL Stock. All PRWT Common Stock, PRWT Warrants and PRWT
Units deemed issued to holders of KBL securities upon consummation of the Merger
and conversion of the KBL securities shall be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the corresponding outstanding KBL
securities and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the
records of the Surviving Pubco of the KBL securities that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(h) No
Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article I, no party hereto shall be liable to a holder of KBL securities or PRWT
Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
1.6 PRWT
Recapitalization. On or before the Closing Date, PRWT shall
recapitalize so that there are eleven million, nine hundred and fifty thousand
(11,950,000) shares of a single class of PRWT Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, owned by the Stockholders as set
forth in Schedule
1.6 (the “Stockholder Shares”);
provided, however, that the foregoing number of shares of PRWT Common Stock
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.7,
below. No other shares of PRWT Common Stock shall be outstanding
immediately prior to the Closing except as provided for in this
Agreement.
1.7 Net Debt and Adjustment of
Merger Shares.
(a) The
term “Net Debt”
shall mean PRWT’s combined consolidated indebtedness (i.e., all indebtedness for
borrowed money and capitalized leases and equivalents and other obligations
evidenced by promissory notes or similar instruments, as well as cash overdrafts
excluding any costs or expenses incurred by PRWT or any subsidiary thereof in
initially implementing and establishing compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act
of 2002 or other similar rules and regulations, less PRWT’s combined
consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including all short-term money market
instruments and treasury bills and similar instruments. From the date
hereof through the Closing, PRWT shall service all indebtedness, payables and
receivables in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice.
(b) PRWT
shall not incur any debt, other than in the ordinary course of business, during
the period from the date three business days prior to the Closing Date and the
Closing Date.
4
(c) From
the date hereof through the Closing Date, on or before the 5th day of
each calendar month, PRWT shall deliver to KBL a written statement of PRWT’s Net
Debt as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar month (“Periodic Net Debt
Statement”), which shall (i) provide such detailed information as may be
reasonably requested by KBL prior to such date, (ii) be derived utilizing
generally accepted accounting principles, consistent with PRWT’s historical
practice and (iii) be certified as being true and complete by PRWT’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
(d) On
the third business day prior to the scheduled Closing Date, PRWT shall deliver
to KBL and PRWT’s auditors (“Independent
Accountant”) a written statement of the estimate of PRWT’s Net Debt as of
the close of business of the business day immediately prior to the delivery
(“Estimated Net Debt
Amount”), which shall (i) provide such detailed information as may be
reasonably requested by KBL prior to such date, (ii) be derived utilizing
generally accepted accounting principles, consistent with PRWT’s historical
practice and (iii) be certified as being true and complete by PRWT’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
(e) If
PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is less than $45,000,000, as determined in
accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares shall
be increased (“Stockholder Shares Increase
Amount”) by an amount equal to the Net Debt Surplus divided by
$7.85. “Net
Debt Surplus” shall mean the amount by which $45,000,000 exceeds the
Estimated Net Debt Amount. As an example, if the Estimated Net Debt
Amount is $44,000,000, the Net Debt Surplus will be $1,000,000, the Stockholder
Shares Increase Amount will be $1,000,000 divided by $7.85, or 127,389 shares
(and an aggregate of 12,077,389 Stockholder Shares will be issued under Section
1.6).
(f) If
PRWT’s Estimated Net Debt Amount is more than $45,000,000, as determined in
accordance with this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
1.7(i) hereof, the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares issued at Closing
shall be decreased (“Stockholder Shares Decrease
Amount”) by an amount equal to the Net Debt Excess divided by
$7.85. “Net
Debt Excess” shall mean the amount by which the Estimated Net Debt Amount
exceeds $45,000,000. As an example, if the Estimated Net Debt Amount
is $46,000,000, the Net Debt Excess will be $1,000,000, the Stockholders Shares
Decrease Amount will be $1,000,000 divided by $7.85, or 127,389 shares (and an
aggregate of 11,822,611 Stockholders Shares will be issued under Section
1.6). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Stockholder Shares Decrease Amount shall not exceed the number of Escrow
Shares.
(g)
As soon as practicable after the Closing, but not later than sixty (60) days
after the Closing, the Representative (as defined in Section 1.12(b)) shall use
its commercially reasonable best efforts to deliver to the Committee a statement
(the “Closing Net Debt
Statement”) showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of PRWT’s Net
Debt as of the Closing (the “Closing Net Debt
Amount”). The Committee and PRWT shall cooperate with the
Representative in connection with the preparation of the Closing Net Debt
Statement. If the Representative does not receive written notice from
the Committee disputing the Closing Net Debt Statement within the fifteen (15)
day period mentioned in Section 1.7(k) below, then the Closing Net Debt
Statement shall become final and binding on the parties. The costs
and expenses of the preparation of the Closing Net Debt Statement shall be borne
by the Surviving Pubco.
5
(h) If
the Closing Net Debt Amount (as finally determined, pursuant to Section 1.7(g)
or (k), as applicable) is less than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, the Surviving
Pubco shall issue to the Stockholders, within ten (10) days after the final
determination of the Closing Net Debt Amount, shares of PRWT Common Stock equal
to (x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount is less than the
Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y) $7.85. If the Closing Net
Debt Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, the Surviving Pubco
shall be entitled, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7(i)
hereof, to withdraw, within ten (10) days after the final determination of the
Closing Net Debt Amount, the amount of Escrow Shares (as defined in Section
1.10) equal to (x) the amount by which the Closing Net Debt Amount exceeds the
Estimated Net Debt Amount divided by (y) $7.85. If the Closing Net
Debt Amount is equal to the Estimated Net Debt Amount, there shall be no
adjustment.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of shares of PRWT
Common Stock to be issued to the Stockholders pursuant to either Section 1.7(f)
or (h) shall serve to reduce the Escrow Shares (and not the 11,008,789 shares of
PRWT Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 that are not subject to
the escrow described in Section 1.10), and that any such reduction shall be
limited to the number of Escrow Shares actually remaining in the Escrow
Account.
(j) The
calculation of the Estimated Net Debt Amount and the Closing Net Debt Amount
shall be made in accordance with U.S. GAAP (as defined in Section 2.7(a)) and
consistent with past practice.
(k) If
the Committee disagrees with the Closing Net Debt Statement used to calculate
the Closing Net Debt Amount, it shall notify the Representative of such
disagreement in writing specifying in reasonable detail any and all items of
disagreement (each, an “Item of Dispute”) within fifteen (15)
calendar days after its receipt of the Closing Net Debt
Statement. The Representative and the Committee shall use their
commercially reasonable best efforts for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days
after the Committee’s delivery of such notice (or such longer period as PRWT and
the Committee may mutually agree upon) to resolve any Items of Dispute raised by
the Committee with respect to the Closing Net Debt Statement. During
any such period of dispute, the Committee and Representative shall have
reasonable access to the working papers of the Representative’s accountants
relating to the Closing Net Debt Amount. If, at the end of such
period, the Representative and the Committee do not resolve any such Item of
Dispute, either the Representative or the Committee may submit the matter to a
mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing
to review the Closing Net Debt Statement and resolve any remaining Items of
Dispute regarding the Closing Net Debt Amount. In the event the
Representative and the Committee cannot agree upon an accounting firm within ten
(10) days after notice from a party to the other party, they shall choose an
accounting firm by lot from those accounting firms of recognized national
standing practicing in Pennsylvania having no material relationship to the
Representative, KBL, the Committee or their respective Affiliates and having
offices in locations suitable to conduct such review. The accounting
firm selected in accordance with the preceding two sentences is referred to
herein as the “Accounting
Firm.” The Representative and the Committee shall request that
the Accounting Firm render a determination on each Item of Dispute, solely based
on whether such Item of Dispute was prepared accurately and in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and consistent with past practice. The determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties, and
judgment may be entered thereon in a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Representative and the Committee shall make their
respective submissions to the Accounting Firm within twenty (20) business days
after selecting such firm pursuant to this Section 1.7(i). The
Representative and the Committee shall use their commercially reasonable best
efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within thirty
(30) calendar days after accepting its selection. All of the fees and
expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Surviving
Pubco.
6
(l) Required
Withholding. The Surviving Pubco shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to
this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or
withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or
foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent
such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all
purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such
amounts would otherwise have been paid.
1.8 Tax
Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the
Merger shall constitute reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the
Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of
reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the
United States Income Tax Regulations.
1.9 Taking of Necessary Action;
Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any
further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and to vest the Surviving Pubco with full right, title and possession
to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of PRWT and
KBL, the then current officers and directors of KBL, and the officers and
directors of PRWT shall take all such lawful and necessary action.
1.10 General
Escrow. As the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations
set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, and for downward adjustments to the
Stockholder Shares required under Section 1.7, 941,211 of the Stockholder Shares
(the “Escrow
Shares”) shall be deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Account”),
which shall be allocated among the Stockholders in the same proportion as the
Stockholder Shares are allocated among them under Section 1.6, as set forth in
Schedule 1.10,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be
entered into at the Closing between the Surviving Pubco, the Representative,
each of the Stockholders (by power of attorney granted to the Representative
appointed pursuant to Section 1.12(b)) and Continental, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), in
form and substance mutually and reasonably agreed to by KBL and PRWT and
providing for the terms contemplated by Article VII hereof (the “Escrow
Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, (i) on
the 30th day
after the date the Surviving Pubco has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for
the year ending December 31, 2009 on Form 10-K (the “First Escrow Release
Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow
Shares, less that portion thereof applied in satisfaction of or reserved with
respect to indemnification claims in connection with claims made pursuant to
Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement (“Escrow Claims”) and
(ii) on the 30th day
after the date the Surviving Pubco has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for
the year ending December 31, 2010 on Form 10-K (the “Final Escrow Release
Date”), the
Escrow Agent shall release all Escrow Shares then remaining in escrow, less that
portion thereof applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to Escrow
Claims. Any Escrow Shares due to be released on the First Escrow
Release Date or Final Escrow Release Date that continue to be held with respect
to any unresolved Escrow Claim shall be delivered to the Stockholders in the
same proportions as originally deposited into escrow, promptly upon such
resolution, subject to reduction, if any, for the indemnification obligation
associated with such resolved Escrow Claim.
7
1.11 EBITDA Share
Issuance.
(a) At
Closing, an additional 8,000,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock shall be issued by
PRWT to the Stockholders in the same proportion as the Stockholder Shares are
allocated among them under Section 1.6 (“EBITDA
Shares”). All of the EBITDA Shares shall be deposited in
escrow in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be
entered into at the Closing between the Surviving Pubco, the Representative,
each of the Stockholders (by power of attorney granted to the
Representative) in form and substance mutually and reasonably agreed to by PRWT
and KBL and providing for the terms contemplated by this Section 1.11 (the
“EBITDA Shares Escrow
Agreement”). The EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement shall provide
that the Escrow Agent shall release the EBITDA Shares as follows:
(i) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA (as defined in Section 1.11(c)) for the year ending
December 31, 2009 (“2009 EBITDA”) is
greater than $25,000,000, as set forth in the Surviving Pubco’s audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009, the
Stockholders, as a group, shall be entitled to receive from escrow that number
of EBITDA Shares determined by dividing the 2009 EBITDA Excess by
$1.00. “2009 EBITDA Excess”
shall mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2009 EBITDA less
$25,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving Pubco’s 2009 EBITDA is
$27,000,000, the 2009 EBITDA Excess will be $2,000,000 and the Stockholders will
receive from escrow an aggregate of 2,000,000 EBITDA Shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares to be released from escrow
pursuant to this Section 1.11(a)(i) shall be 2,000,000 shares.
(ii) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2010 (“2010 EBITDA”) is
greater than $30,000,000 as set forth in the
Surviving Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2010, the Stockholders, as a group, shall be entitled to receive
from escrow that number of shares of PRWT Common Stock determined by dividing
the 2010 EBITDA Excess by $1.00. “2010 EBITDA Excess”
shall mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2010 EBITDA less
$30,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving Pubco’s 2010 EBITDA is
$32,000,000, the 2010 EBITDA Excess will be $2,000,000 and the Stockholders will
receive from escrow an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares issuable
under this Section 1.11(a)(ii) shall be 3,000,000 shares.
8
(iii) If
the Surviving Pubco’s EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2011 (“2011 EBITDA”) is
greater than $40,000,000 as set forth in the
Surviving Pubco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2011, the Stockholders, as a group, shall be entitled to receive
from escrow that number of shares of PRWT Common Stock determined by dividing
the 2011 EBITDA Excess by $1.00. “2011 EBITDA Excess”
shall mean the Surviving Pubco’s actual 2011 EBITDA less
$40,000,000. As an example, if the Surviving Pubco’s 2011 EBITDA is
$42,500,000, the 2011 EBITDA Excess will be $2,500,000 and the Stockholders will
receive from escrow an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of PRWT Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of EBITDA Shares issuable
under this Section 1.11(a)(iii) shall be 3,000,000 shares.
(iv) In
the event Surviving Pubco engages in (1) a merger or business combination in
which it is not the survivor, (2) a transaction in which it sells all or
substantially all of its assets, or (3) a similar liquidity event, which in any
case results in all of the holders of PRWT Common Stock receiving consideration
having a fair market value of $9.50 or more per share (as adjusted for and to
equitably and appropriately reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock
split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities
convertible into PRWT Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of
shares or other like change with respect to PRWT Common Stock) then all EBITDA
Shares then held in escrow in accordance with this Section 1.11 shall be
released to the Stockholders no later than the consummation of such
transaction. Further, in each event of exercise of PRWT Warrants
(other than any exercise that occurs upon PRWT electing to lower the exercise
price from the exercise price as of the date hereof, as same may be adjusted in
connection with any stock split or the aforementioned similar events), an amount
of EBITDA Shares equal to the number of shares of PRWT Common Stock issued upon
such warrant exercise (up to the total amount of EBITDA Shares then held in
escrow) shall be released from escrow and delivered to the Stockholders, in the
same proportion as the Stockholder Shares are allocated among them under Section
1.6.
(b) Any
release of EBITDA Shares from escrow shall be made as soon as practicable and in
any event, no later than twenty (20) business days after the date of the event
giving rise to the obligation to release such EBITDA Shares. A
party’s right to receive the EBITDA Shares from escrow shall not be subject to
any right of set-off or recoupment. The parties hereto acknowledge
that the issuance of the EBITDA Shares is being done without any further
consideration paid by the Stockholders, in order to provide a purchase price
adjustment with respect to the PRWT Common Stock issued in the Merger by
adjusting the percentage of equity issued in the Merger. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, if, at anytime, following release of Surviving Pubco’s
audited consolidated financial statement for the year ending December 31, 2009,
no PRWT Warrants remain outstanding, any EBITDA Shares contemplated by Section
1.10(b)(i) that were not released to the Stockholders in accordance with such
Section 1.10(b)(i) shall be immediately released from escrow and returned to
Surviving Pubco for cancellation. Similarly, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, if, at anytime, following release of Surviving Pubco’s
audited consolidated financial statement for the year ending December 31, 2010,
no PRWT Warrants remain outstanding, any EBITDA Shares contemplated by Section
1.10(b)(ii) that were not released to the Stockholders in accordance with such
Section 1.10(b)(ii) shall be immediately released from escrow and returned to
Surviving Pubco for cancellation. After the date of release of any

any of the above and no Stockholder shall have any right to act on its own
behalf with respect to any such matters or other matters relating to this

shall be fully protected in relying upon, the power and authority of the
Representative without independent investigation. No bond shall be
required of the Representative. The Representative shall receive no
fees for his services but shall be entitled to reimbursement for his reasonable

constituencies for any acts or omissions of the Representative (including any
failure to deliver amounts or shares paid to the Representative on behalf of any
of the Stockholders or any other constituencies), or any acts or omissions taken
or not taken by any other persons at the direction of the
Representative. Any notice or communication given or received by, and
any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time,
agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Representative
that is within the scope of the Representative's authority under this Section
1.12(b) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision,
action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent,
settlement, resolution or instruction of all Stockholders and shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon each such Stockholder and the escrow agents under
the Escrow Agreement and the EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement and KBL and the

decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement,
consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or

Section 1.5 hereof, Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.15(b)) shall not

stockholder of KBL who asserts appraisal rights in connection with the Merger (a

for payment for such shares or waived or lost his right to payment for his
shares under the appraisal rights process under the DGCL, the shares of KBL
Common Stock held by such Dissenter shall be treated as if they had been
converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive PRWT Common Stock
as provided in Section 1.5. KBL shall give PRWT prompt notice of any
demands for payment received by KBL from a person asserting appraisal rights,
and PRWT shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings
with respect to such demands. KBL shall not, except with the prior
written consent of PRWT, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to
settle, any such demands.
(b) As
used herein, “Dissenting Shares”
means any shares of KBL Common Stock held by stockholders of KBL who are
entitled to appraisal rights under the DGCL, and who have properly exercised,
perfected and not subsequently withdrawn or lost or waived their rights to
demand payment with respect to those shares in accordance with the
DGCL.
1.16 Outstanding PRWT Derivative
Securities. All outstanding options to purchase Company Stock
set forth on Schedule
2.3 shall remain outstanding at the Effective Time, but each such option
shall represent the options under the Pubco Plan (as defined) to purchase
approximately that number of shares of PRWT Common Stock set forth on Schedule
2.3 at the exercise prices set forth on Schedule 2.3.

properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as

in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or
licensed and in good standing that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on PRWT or such
Subsidiary. Each jurisdiction in which each Subsidiary is so
qualified or licensed is listed in Schedule

accelerations, increases or other occurrences that would not, individually and
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on PRWT.
(b) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of PRWT and Merger Sub do not,
and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not, require any consent,
approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any

and lessors), except (i) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or Blue Sky Laws, and the rules and regulations

is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on

conducted. KBL is in possession of all Approvals necessary to own,
lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to
carry on its business as it is now being or currently planned to be conducted by
KBL, except where the failure to have such Approvals could not, individually or

KBL. Complete and correct copies of KBL’s Charter Documents, as
amended and currently in effect, have been heretofore made available to
PRWT. KBL is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Charter
Documents.
30
(b) KBL
is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly
qualified or licensed and in good standing that could not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on KBL.
Each jurisdiction in which KBL is so qualified or licensed is listed in Schedule
3.1.

this Agreement by KBL shall not: (i) conflict with or violate KBL’s
Charter Documents, (ii) conflict with or violate any Legal Requirements, or
(iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or materially
impair KBL’s rights or alter the rights or obligations of any third party under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien on any of the properties or
assets of KBL pursuant to, any KBL Contracts, except, with respect to clauses

KBL’s obligations hereunder will not, require any consent, approval,
authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental

the Exchange Act, Blue Sky Laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and
appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in
which KBL is qualified to do business and (ii) where the failure to obtain such
consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or
notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on KBL, or prevent consummation of
the Merger or otherwise prevent the parties hereto from performing their
obligations under this Agreement.
3.6 Compliance. KBL
has complied with, and is not in violation of, any Legal Requirements with
respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its
business, except for failures to comply or violations which, individually or in

filed by KBL with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement. All
KBL SEC Reports required to be filed by KBL in the twenty-four (24) month period
prior to the date of this Agreement were filed in a timely manner. As

prior to the date of this Agreement then on the date of such filing and as so
amended or superseded) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Except to the extent set forth in the preceding sentence,
KBL makes no representation or warranty whatsoever concerning any KBL SEC Report
as of any time other than the date or period with respect to which it was

respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
thereto, was or will be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in
the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, do not contain
footnotes as permitted by Form 10-Q of the Exchange Act) and each fairly
presents or will fairly present in all material respects the financial position
of KBL at the respective dates thereof and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim

were not or are not expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on KBL taken as a
whole.
3.8 No Undisclosed
Liabilities. KBL has no liabilities (absolute, accrued,
contingent or otherwise) of a nature required to be disclosed on a balance sheet
or in the related notes to the financial statements included in KBL SEC Reports
that are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of
operations or financial condition of KBL, except (i) liabilities provided for in
or otherwise disclosed in KBL SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, and
(ii) liabilities incurred since September 30, 2008 in the ordinary course of

since September 30, 2008, there has not been: (i) any Material
Adverse Effect on KBL, (ii) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any

altered upon the occurrence of a transaction involving KBL of the nature
contemplated hereby, (v) entry by KBL into any licensing or other agreement with

becoming due to any stockholder, director or employee of KBL, or (ii) result in
the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such
benefits. KBL is not a party to any agreement, contract or
arrangement (including this Agreement) that would reasonably be likely to
result, separately or in the aggregate, (i) in the payment of any “excess

be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any

in the aggregate, which have not had and could not reasonably be expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect on KBL.

contingent or otherwise, other than any liability for unpaid Taxes that may have
accrued since the end of the most recent fiscal year in connection with the
operation of the business of KBL in the ordinary course of business, none of

reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on KBL. Each
agreement, contract or commitment to which KBL is a party or by which it is

have a Material Adverse Effect on KBL.

consummated by July 19, 2009, KBL will be obligated to return to its
stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Fund. Accordingly,
PRWT, for itself and its subsidiaries, affiliated entities, directors, officers,
employees, stockholders, representatives, advisors and all other associates and
affiliates, and each Stockholder, for his, her or itself, hereby waive all
rights, title, interest or claim of any kind against KBL to collect from the

ARTICLE

INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification of KBL and
Surviving Pubco.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation
the limitations set forth in Section 7.4), KBL, the Surviving Pubco and their
respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “KBL Indemnitees”)
shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless with respect to the matters
under Sections 7.1(a)(i) and 7.1(a)(ii), below, but only to the extent of the
Escrow Shares, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to,
imposed upon, or incurred by any KBL Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or
resulting from:
55
(i) the
inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of PRWT or any of the
Stockholders contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or
any certificate delivered by PRWT to KBL pursuant to this Agreement with respect
hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing;
(ii) the

(including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable
legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims,
suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance,
causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third
parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid. Solely
for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining
any breach) for which the KBL Indemnitees may be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,”
or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such
qualification and without giving effect to such words.
7.2 Indemnification of Third
Party Claims. The indemnification obligations and liabilities
under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits,
investigations, demands or other claims brought against a KBL Indemnitee by a
Person other than PRWT or a Stockholder (a “Third Party Claim”)
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Notice of
Claim. KBL or Surviving Pubco, acting through the Committee,
will give the Representative prompt written notice after receiving written
notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or
facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”)
which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the
nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual
out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or
expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith),
and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any
insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such
insurance, and the Representative shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of Third Party Claim at its expense.
(b) Defense. The
Representative shall have the right, at its option (subject to the limitations
set forth in subsection 7.2(c) below) and at its own expense, by written notice
to KBL, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of KBL to
participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense,
compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of
Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and
reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to KBL to be the lead counsel in
connection with such defense. If the Representative is permitted and elects to
assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:
56
(i) the
Representative shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim
and shall keep the Committee reasonably informed of the status of such defense;
provided, however, that the Committee shall have the right to approve any
settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned except to the extent the settlement relates solely to monetary
damages that are indemnified fully under Section 7.1; and
(ii) KBL,
Surviving Pubco and the Committee shall cooperate fully in all respects with the
Representative in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including,
without limitation, the selection of counsel, and KBL, Surviving Pubco and the
Committee shall make available to the Representative all pertinent information
and documents under its control.
(c) Limitations of Right to
Assume Defense. The Representative shall not be entitled to
assume control of such defense and, subject to the limitations of Section 7.4,
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel retained by Surviving
Pubco or the Committee if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in
connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or
investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable
relief against a KBL Indemnitee; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that
a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect Surviving Pubco or its
Subsidiaries other than as a result of money damages or other money
payments.
(d) Other
Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to
provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available
data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party
Claim by a KBL Indemnitee against the Representative and shall not affect the
Representative’s duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the
extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected
the ability of the Representative to defend against or reduce its liability or
caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the
Representative is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had
the Committee given the Representative prompt notice hereunder. So long as the
Representative is defending any such action actively and in good faith,
Surviving Pubco shall not settle such action. KBL and Surviving Pubco shall make
available to the Representative all relevant records and other relevant
materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of KBL or
Surviving Pubco, for the use of the Representative and its representatives in
defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable
cooperation in such defense.
(e) Failure to
Defend. If the Representative, promptly after receiving a
Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good
faith, Surviving Pubco or the Committee, subject to the limitations of Section
7.4, will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense,
compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its
reasonable discretion, provided that the Representative shall have the right to
approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned.
57
(f) KBL Indemnitee
Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Representative shall not, without the written consent of
the Committee, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any
judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or the plaintiff to each of the KBL Indemnitees of a full and
unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such
action without any payment by any KBL Indemnitee.
(g) Representative
Consent. Unless the Representative has consented to a
settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a
binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow
Agreement.
7.3 Insurance and Tax
Effect.
(a) To
the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this
Article VII are covered by insurance, Surviving Pubco shall use reasonable best
efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that KBL
Indemnitees shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification
under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set
forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this
Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The
existence of a claim by KBL or Surviving Pubco for monies from an insurer or
against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any
payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and
otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Representative. If
KBL or Surviving Pubco has received the payment required by this Agreement from
the Representative in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from
insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such
proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Representative and
shall pay to the Representative, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum
equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the
aggregate amount of any payments received from the Representative pursuant to
this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other
third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to
receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii)
relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is
obligated.
(b) To
the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this
Article VII are deductible for income tax purposes by KBL, PRWT, the Merger Sub
or the Surviving Pubco, as the case may be, the amount of any Loss shall be
reduced by the income tax savings to such party as a result of the payment of
such Loss.
7.4 Limitations on
Indemnification.
(a) Survival; Time
Limitation. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by PRWT, the
Stockholder or Merger Sub to KBL in connection with this Agreement (including
the certificate required to be delivered by PRWT pursuant to Section 6.3(a))
shall survive the Closing until the Final Escrow Release Date (the “Survival
Period”).
58
(b) Any
indemnification claim made by KBL or Surviving Pubco in writing prior to the
termination of the Survival Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent
termination of the Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim
sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final
resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
(i) no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after
the end of the Survival Period, and (ii) the indemnification rights of KBL
Indemnitees under this Article VII shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.
(c) Deductible. No
amount shall be payable under Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount
of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), in
which event the amount payable shall be only the amount in excess of the
Deductible.
(d) Aggregate Amount
Limitation. The aggregate liability for Losses pursuant to
Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Shares and no KBL
Indemnitee shall have any claim against PRWT’s stockholders other than the
Escrow Shares during the Escrow Period.
(e) No Special or Consequential
Damages. In no event shall Losses be deemed to include any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.
7.5 Exclusive
Remedy. Except with respect to the return of EBITDA Shares to
Surviving Pubco under Section 1.11 and with respect to the return of PRWT Common
Stock under Section 1.7, each of KBL and Surviving Pubco on behalf of itself and
the other KBL Indemnitees, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after
the Closing, the sole remedy of the KBL Indemnitees with respect to any and all
claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set
forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or
otherwise limit a KBL Indemnitees’ right to bring any claim, demand or suit
against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud.
7.6 Adjustment to Purchase
Price. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII
shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the “purchase price” paid to the
Stockholders in connection with business combination between PRWT and KBL,
except as otherwise required by Law.
59
7.7 Representative Capacities;
Application of Escrow Shares. The parties acknowledge that the
Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a
representative of the Stockholders in the manner set forth in the Escrow
Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the KBL Indemnitees under
this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal
responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all
payments to the KBL Indemnitees as a result of such indemnification obligations
shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow
Shares. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’
fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by KBL, which may make
a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Escrow Shares upon the claim with
respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as
defined in the Escrow Agreement). The parties further acknowledge that all
actions to be taken by the KBL Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VII shall be
taken on their behalf by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the
Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the
Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Escrow Shares to satisfy any claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The Escrow Agent will hold the
remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for
indemnification or disputes relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, all Escrow Shares remaining in escrow following the
Final Escrow Release Date in excess of the Escrow Shares necessary to satisfy
any timely filed claim for indemnification shall be released and delivered to
the Persons entitled to them on such date. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Representative shall have no liability to

act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to
occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a

(c) by
either KBL or PRWT if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree,

60
(d) by
PRWT, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of KBL set forth in this Agreement, or if any

that the conditions set forth in Article VI 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 breach by KBL is curable by KBL prior to
the Closing Date, then PRWT may not terminate this Agreement under this Section
8.1(d) for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from PRWT to KBL of
such breach, provided KBL continues to exercise commercially reasonable best
efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that PRWT may not
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it shall have
materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by KBL is cured during such
thirty (30)-day period);
(e) by
KBL, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of PRWT or a Stockholder set forth in this Agreement, or
if any representation or warranty of PRWT or a Stockholder shall have become
untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI 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
breach is curable by PRWT prior to the Closing Date, then KBL may not terminate
this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) for thirty (30) days after delivery of
written notice from KBL to PRWT of such breach, provided PRWT or such
Stockholder continues to exercise commercially reasonable best efforts to
cure such breach (it being understood that KBL may not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this
Agreement or if such breach by PRWT or such Stockholder is cured during such
thirty (30)-day period);
(f) by
either KBL or PRWT, if, at the Special Meeting (including any adjournments
thereof), this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall fail to
be approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of KBL Common
Stock required under KBL’s certificate of incorporation, or the holders of 30%
or more of the number of shares of KBL Common Stock issued in KBL’s initial
public offering and outstanding as of the date of the record date of the Special
Meeting exercise their rights to convert the shares of KBL Common Stock held by
them into cash in accordance with KBL’s certificate of

the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other parties
hereto.
(b) In
the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this
Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Merger shall be
abandoned, except for and subject to the following: (i) Sections 5.6,
5.7, 5.11, 8.2 and 8.3 and Article X (General Provisions) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party
from liability for any breach of this Agreement, including a breach by a party
electing to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) caused by the
action or failure to act of such party constituting a principal cause of or
resulting in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before the date stated
therein.
61
8.3 Fees and
Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the
party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is

Merger or PRWT terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) and (b) KBL
consummates a merger or other business combination with another entity on or
before July 19, 2009, KBL shall pay PRWT, concurrently with the consummation of
such merger or other business combination, a cash termination fee of $2,000,000,
payment of which shall be in full satisfaction of all other rights of PRWT and
the Stockholders for damages under this Agreement.
8.5 KBL
Damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that if PRWT or the
Stockholders wrongfully fail or refuse to consummate the Merger or KBL
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e), KBL and its stockholders

considered one and the same document and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other
party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same
counterpart. Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission to
counsel for the other party of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed
to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.
10.4 Entire Agreement; Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and
instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or
referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto (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, it being understood
that the letter of intent between KBL and PRWT executed on or about February 12,
2009 is hereby terminated in its entirety and shall be of no further force and
effect (except to the extent expressly stated to survive the execution of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); and (b)
are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies
hereunder (except as specifically provided in this Agreement).
10.5 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.
10.6 Other Remedies; Specific
Performance. Except as otherwise provided 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. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall
be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any
court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in
addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in
equity.
68
10.7 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law
that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law
thereof.
10.8 Arbitration. Any
disputes or claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereunder shall be resolved by binding
arbitration. Notice of a demand to arbitrate a dispute by either
party shall be given in writing to the other at their last known
address. Arbitration shall be commenced by the filing by a party of
an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The
arbitration and resolution of the dispute shall be resolved by a single
arbitrator appointed by the AAA pursuant to AAA rules. The
arbitration shall in all respects be governed and conducted by applicable AAA
rules, and any award and/or decision shall be conclusive and binding on the
parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington,
Delaware. The arbitrator shall supply a written opinion supporting
any award, and judgment may be entered on the award in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the
arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees
of the arbitrator for his services shall be assessed against the losing party by
the arbitrator. In the event that preliminary or permanent injunctive
relief is necessary or desirable in order to prevent a party from acting
contrary to this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm prior to a
confirmation of an arbitration award, then either party is authorized and
entitled to commence a lawsuit solely to obtain equitable relief against the
other pending the completion of the arbitration in a court having jurisdiction
over the parties. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware,
New Castle County, for such purpose.
10.9 Rules of
Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been
represented by counsel during the negotiation 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.

obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other
parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10.10, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
