Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with lists of all Contracts (including any lease pursuant to which the Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller), which shall be by specific Contract and not by category of Contract except as otherwise consented to by the Purchaser, which they deem should be Assigned Contracts hereunder and the "cure amounts" pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code relating to each (the “Sellers' Assigned Contracts Schedule”). All Contracts on Seller’s Assigned Contracts Schedule shall be deemed to be Assigned Contracts unless, at any time and from time to time on or before (i) the 60th day after the Closing, with respect to any lease pursuant to which the Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller or (ii) the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, with respect to all other Contracts, the Purchaser by written notice to the Sellers elects to exclude any one or more of the scheduled Contracts that would otherwise be Assigned Contracts. The Purchaser also may add Contracts not designated by the Sellers (the “Extra Contracts”) (including any lease pursuant to which any Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller and Permits and Licenses) to be an Assigned Contract. Any Contract which is not designated on the Sellers' Assigned Contracts Schedule or in a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence as an Assigned Contract or which is designated in a notice pursuant to the second preceding sentence (each such designated Contract, an “Excluded Contract”), shall not be an Assigned Contract to be assigned to the Purchaser hereunder and shall be an Excluded Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to designate any Assumed Employment Agreement or Assumed Severance Agreement, or any other agreement listed on Schedule 2.2(a)(vi), as an Excluded Contract, and the Sellers shall be required to include each Assumed Employment Agreement and Assumed Severance Agreement on the Sellers' Assigned Contracts Schedule, unless the employee party thereto does not become a Transferred Employee. There shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price as a result of the Purchaser’s election to exclude any one or more of the Contracts from the Transactions pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), or to add any Extra Contracts; except that the Purchaser shall not be required to make any payments for Determined Cure Costs or any other amounts for any such Excluded Contracts. Each Seller hereby appoints the Purchaser its agent and attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of allowing the Purchaser to continue to operate under each lease pursuant to which the Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller until such time as the Purchaser either designates such lease as an Assigned Contract or designates that it does not want to have such lease assigned to it, provided that during such period, the Purchaser shall be responsible for all obligations arising from or in connection with such lease during such period (and not based on a breach, default or other circumstance existing prior to such period).

- 33 -

(b) At the time of Closing, except to the extent a later date is consented to by the Purchaser in its sole discretion with respect to any lease pursuant to which any Leased Real Property is leased by a Seller, Seller shall have obtained the approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Sale Order or another Order of the Bankruptcy Court and/or the consent of the applicable counterparties to the extent necessary to effect the assignment of, and the Sellers shall assume (to the extent required) and then assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall assume from the Sellers, to the extent provided in Section 2.2(a), all the Assigned Contracts.

(c) Subject to the terms of Section 5.1(a), the Purchaser shall make provision for the payment of the Determined Cure Costs. The Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts, including the filing and prosecution of any and all appropriate proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court, to establish the Determined Cure Costs, if any, for each Assigned Contract no later than three Business Days prior to the deadline for the Purchaser to include such Contract in the Purchased Assets, in accordance with the Sellers’ books and records as of the Petition Date.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers will not reject or take any action or cause any of their Affiliates to reject or take any action (or fail to take any action that would result in rejection by operation of law) to reject, repudiate or disclaim any Assigned Contract without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Section 5.2 Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing.

(a) The Sellers covenant and agree that, except as described in Section 5.2(a) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, between the date hereof and the Closing and except as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and subject to Bankruptcy Court orders and the constraints of the DIP Credit Agreement, each Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (as relates to the Business) in all material respects to:

Section 5.4 Damage or Destruction.

Until the Closing, the Purchased Assets shall remain at the risk of the Sellers. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of any material Purchased Asset (other than normal wear and tear) after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (in any such case, a “Loss”), the Sellers shall give notice thereof to the Purchaser, and if any such Losses would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon providing Sellers written notice of such termination. If any such Loss is covered by policies of insurance, all right and claim of the Sellers (or Parent) to any proceeds of insurance for such Loss shall be assigned and (if previously received by the Sellers and not used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction) paid to the Purchaser at Closing. If any such Loss is not funded by policies of insurance, the Purchaser shall have the right to reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to (i) the estimated cost to repair or restore the Purchased Assets affected by such Loss (the “Affected Assets”) to substantially repair or restore their condition immediately prior to the occurrence of such Loss or (ii) if such Affected Assets are destroyed or damaged beyond repair, the replacement cost of the Affected Assets, and all compensation payable on account of such Loss shall be retained by the Sellers.

Section 5.6 Permits and Licenses.

Commencing on the date of this Agreement, the parties, cooperating in good faith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps, including the filing of any required applications with Governmental Authorities, as may be necessary (i) to effect the transfer of the Permits and Licenses to the Purchaser on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, to the extent such transfer is permissible under applicable Law, and (ii) to enable the Purchaser to obtain, on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, any additional licenses, permits, approvals, consents, certificates, registrations, and authorizations (whether governmental, regulatory, or otherwise) as may be necessary for the lawful operation of the Business from and after the Closing Date.

(b) The Sellers shall assign to the Purchaser the Contracts concerning Licensed Intellectual Property, or otherwise shall obtain for the Purchaser and its Affiliates the right to use Licensed Intellectual Property, such that, beginning on the Closing Date, the Purchaser and its Affiliates will have valid and enforceable rights to use all Licensed Intellectual Property as it was used by or for the benefit of the Business (including all configurations and customizations thereof) prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall obtain (but Purchaser shall pay for) all third party consents necessary to assign such agreements or to obtain such rights.

(c) On or before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser all records and information in the Sellers’ possession or under the Sellers’ control concerning the Owned Intellectual Property, and all copies thereof, including, but not limited to, any license and settlement agreements, the documentation, source code and object code for all computer software, documentation concerning registrations and applications, prosecution histories, correspondence with Governmental Authorities, litigation files relating to infringements, disputes or demands, including opposition and cancellation proceedings, cease and desist and protest letters, and all documents concerning security interests, mortgages, liens and other encumbrances.

Section 5.9 Further Action.

Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, whether brought derivatively or on behalf of third parties (including any Governmental Authority), challenging this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Sellers shall use (or cause its Affiliates to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its accountants, attorneys, advisors, employees and other representatives to cooperate with the Purchaser in order to consummate and make effective the Transactions. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall take all such necessary action.

domain names and agrees to make such person available to the Purchaser and its representatives and agents to effectuate the transfer to the Purchaser of such domain names. From and after the Closing, (i) Sellers shall promptly forward to Purchaser any and all payments received by Sellers from customers or any other Persons, which constitute part of the Assets and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly forward to Sellers any and all payments received by Purchaser from customers or any other Persons, which constitute part of the Excluded Assets.

Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities. Each of the parties will make themselves (and their respective employees) available, on a mutually convenient basis, to provide explanations of any documents or information provided under this Section 5.10(a). Each of the parties will retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates) relating to Tax matters relevant to the Purchased Assets or the Business for the taxable period first ending after the Closing and for all prior taxable periods (the “Tax Documents”) until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions, or (ii) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. After such time, before any of the parties shall dispose of any such documents in its possession (or in the possession of its Affiliates), the other party shall be given the opportunity, after 90 days’ prior written notice, to remove and retain all or any part of such documents as such other party may select (at such other party’s expense). In the event that a Seller is liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a going concern prior to the expiration of the period described in the second preceding sentence, such Seller shall offer the Purchaser the opportunity described in the preceding sentence (with 90 days’ prior written notice or such shorter period of notice as may be practicable) to remove and retain Tax Documents and such Seller may then dispose of any such documents not removed by the Purchaser.

(b) The Sellers shall not take any actions (including, but not limited to, filing any Tax Return or amended Tax Return, responding to any audit or inquiry by a taxing authority, or settling or compromising any controversy with a taxing authority) that could affect the Tax Liability of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 5.11 Conveyance Taxes.

In the event that any Conveyance Taxes (as may be reduced or eliminated pursuant to Section 1146(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or the Sale Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court) are assessed on the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid such Conveyance Taxes. The Sellers shall timely and duly complete and file all returns and other documents associated therewith at the direction of the Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI

EMPLOYEE MATTERS

Section 6.1 Transferred Employees

(a) Upon notice to the Sellers’ and at mutually agreeable times, the Sellers will permit the Purchaser’s representatives to meet with Business Employees prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser may, at its option, extend offers of employment to all or any of the Business Employees effective as of the Closing Date (or, with respect to employees on approved leave, effective upon return to active duty) (those employees who are offered and accept employment by the Closing Date shall be known as “Transferred Employees”), it being understood that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to employ any of the employees of the Sellers. Purchaser may, at its option, also accept assignment of contracts with all independent contractor drivers that are scheduled in accordance with Section 5.1(a). From and after the execution of this Agreement, the Sellers shall use their best efforts to assist the Purchaser in retaining those employees and independent contractors that are employed or engaged in connection with the Business which the Purchaser wishes to hire or engage and the Sellers will not take any action to preclude or discourage any of the Sellers’ employees or independent contractors from accepting any offer of employment or engagement extended by the Purchaser.

(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, with respect to each Employee Plan of Sellers listed in Section 6.1(b) of the Sellers' Disclosure Schedule, either assume such Employee Plan or adopt a mirror plan or other arrangement providing substantially equivalent benefits to the Transferred Employees (and, with respect to the Sellers' 401(k) plan, allow the Transferred Employees to roll over their current account balances).

(c) The Sellers shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees or their covered dependents on or prior to the Closing Date. Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents after the Closing Date under Employee Plans assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(b) shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser. For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long-term disability benefits, when the disability occurs; and, in the case of a hospital stay, when the employee first enters the hospital.

- 43 -

(d) Purchaser and Sellers hereby acknowledge that for purposes of IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53, Purchaser qualifies as a successor employer with respect to any Transferred Employees. In connection with the foregoing, (i) the parties agree to follow the “Alternative Procedures” set forth in Section 5 of IRS Revenue Procedure 2004-53, and (ii) Purchaser shall assume each Seller’s obligation to furnish an IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, to each Transferred Employee with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

ARTICLE VIII

(a) by the Sellers, if the Closing shall not have occurred by December 9, 2009, or by the Purchaser, if the Closing shall not have occurred by November 23, 2009; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a) shall not be available to any party whose failure (or in the case of the Sellers as the determining party, any Seller’s failure) to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date;

(b) by either the Purchaser or the Sellers in the event that any Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions shall have become a Final Order;

(c) by the Purchaser by written notice to the Sellers (i) if any event occurs or condition exists which would render impossible the satisfaction of one or more conditions to the obligations of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.2, or (ii) in accordance with Section 5.4;

(d) by the Sellers by written notice to the Purchaser if any event occurs or condition exists which would render impossible the satisfaction of one or more conditions to the obligations of the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.1;

(e) by the Purchaser if there has occurred a material misrepresentation or other material breach by any Seller of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein; provided, however, that if such breach is susceptible to cure, the breaching party or parties shall have ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written notice (which notice includes a summary description of such breach) from the Purchaser of its intention to terminate this Agreement if such breach continues in which to cure such breach;

(f) by the Sellers if there has occurred a material misrepresentation or other material breach by the Purchaser of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to which the Purchaser is a party; provided, however, that if such breach is susceptible to cure, the Purchaser shall have ten (10) calendar days after receipt of written notice (which notice includes a summary description of such breach) from the Sellers of its intention to terminate this Agreement if such breach continues in which to cure such breach;

- 47 -

(g) by the Purchaser if (i) any Seller proposes or announces any plan of reorganization or liquidation other than a plan that contemplates a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business to the Purchaser, or if any Seller shall withdraw or seek to withdraw or fail to file its motion seeking approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court approves the sale, transfer or other disposition to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the Sellers’ assets relating to the Business other than in a sale to the Purchaser pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(h) by either the Sellers or the Purchaser, upon confirmation of any plan of reorganization or liquidation other than a plan that contemplates a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Business to the Purchaser;

(j) by the Purchaser, (i) if the Bidding Procedures Order shall not have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to the seventeenth (17th) day after the date hereof or if the Sale Order shall not have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date hereof or (ii) if any such Order shall fail to be in full force and effect after entry or shall have been stayed, reversed, modified or amended in any material respect without the prior written consent of the Purchaser; or

(k) by the written consent of each of the Sellers and the Purchaser.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided that the obligations of the parties contained in Sections 5.12, Sections 10.1 through 10.14 and this Section 8.2 shall survive any such termination. In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to surcharge any collateral subject to the Lien of the Burdale Credit Agreement or the DIP Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 506(b) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Break-Up Fee or the Expense Reimbursement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (even if another paragraph of Section 8.1 is also the basis for termination by the Purchaser), Section 8.1(i) or Section 8.1(j), then, within five (5) Business Days after such termination, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Expense Reimbursement;

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(h) then upon the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after such termination and (ii) the consummation of any such sale, transfer, disposition, plan or liquidation (or within ten (10) days after any such withdrawal or seeking to withdraw its motion seeking approval of the transactions contemplated hereby), Seller shall pay to Purchaser the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement;

- 48 -

(d) The parties agree that the Purchaser would be substantially damaged in any event requiring the payment of the Break-Up Fee, that the precise amount of such damage would be impossible or difficult to determine, and that the amount of the Break-Up Fee represents a reasonable estimate of such damages. Any payment of the Break-Up Fee would constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty. The provisions herein as to the payment of the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement were material inducements to the Purchaser entering into this Agreement. Any payments of the Breakup Fee or Expense Reimbursement under this Section 8.2 shall be made by Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

(e) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement are actual necessary costs and expenses of preserving the Business within the meaning of Section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall constitute administrative expenses pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 8.3 Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Purchaser be liable in respect of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement for (a) damages or other monetary remedies in excess of the difference between (i) $5 million and (ii) the sum of (A) the amount of the outstanding Obligations (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) that are guaranteed by the ComVest Guaranty and (B) any amounts previously paid by CIP III or its affiliates in respect of the ComVest Guaranty (including the amount of any cash collateral or letter of credit for so long as the same shall be maintained), (b) any punitive, exemplary or special damages or (c) any non-monetary remedies.

- 50 -

Section 10.4 Severability.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. 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 in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.5 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Sellers and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.6 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any trustee, receiver, receiver-manager, interim receiver or monitor or similar officer appointed in respect of the Sellers in the Chapter 11 Cases) and permitted assigns, but shall not be assignable or delegable by the Sellers (other than as part of a bona fide security agreement or collateral assignment entered into in connection with the Burdale Credit Agreement or the DIP Credit Agreement or pursuant to the exercise of remedies by the Existing Lenders or the DIP Lenders thereunder) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and by Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to an affiliate of the Purchaser without the consent of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall have no further liability in respect of the rights or obligations so assigned; provided that such assignee shall assume all such rights or obligations of the Purchaser hereunder. Sellers agree to enter into such amendments to, or restatements of, this Agreement and the exhibits hereto as may be reasonably required to give effect to this Section 10.6, so long as such amendments or restatements do not adversely affect the rights of Sellers hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.7 Amendment.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) (i) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Sellers and the Purchaser or (ii) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.8; and, (b) to the extent such amendment or modification is material, by an Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

- 51 -

Section 10.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto agree that the Bankruptcy Court shall be the exclusive forum for enforcement of this Agreement or the Transactions and (only for the limited purpose of such enforcement) submit to the jurisdiction thereof; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court determines that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, then each party: (a) agrees that all such actions or proceedings shall be heard and determined in a federal court sitting in New York; (b) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action or proceeding; (c) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court; and (d) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by providing a copy thereof by any of the methods of delivery permitted by Section 10.2 to such party at its address as provided in Section 10.2 (provided that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law).

Section 10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12 Currency.

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.

- 52 -

Section 10.13 Construction.

The parties hereto and their respective legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore, this Agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any of the parties hereto, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.14 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or in pdf format) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signature page delivered by facsimile or pdf format shall be deemed the same, and equally enforceable, as an original.
