Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be required to (i) agree to sell, divest, dispose of or hold separate any assets or businesses, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that could reasonably limit its freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more businesses, product lines or assets or otherwise restrict its assets, operations, business or conduct of business or (ii) litigate (or defend) against any administrative or judicial action or proceeding (including any proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any competition Law.

Section 5.02 . Certain Filings; Other Actions.

(g) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained for the Transfer of the Purchased Interest, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

(h) Seller and Buyer agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements, instruments and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to vest in Buyer

good title to the Purchased Interest, to effectuate the Transfers of the Purchased Interest, to reflect that the Venture Property owned by the Participants’ Respective Shares and to assure and evidence the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Obligations. Nothing in this clause (b) shall require Seller, prior to Closing, to execute instruments of transfer, assignment, assumptions, filings or documents to Transfer the Venture Property beyond those set forth in Section 2.03(l).

(i) Seller and Buyer agree to take commercially reasonable efforts for the Closing to occur as soon as possible after June 15, 2016.

(j) From time to time after the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other deeds, assignments, endorsements, assurances or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by Buyer or Seller and necessary for the requesting party to satisfy its obligations hereunder or to obtain the benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the Closing, Seller shall cause the Operator to record or register title to any right, property or asset Transferred hereunder to Buyer at the Closing for which recordation or registration of such ownership is a legal requirement or standard business practice in Arizona or the United States and is permitted by Law. To the extent permitted by Law, recordation or registration of title to the Purchased Interest shall be made in the names of the Participants (as defined in the Operating Agreement) in a manner which reflects the Participants’ Respective Shares in such property and the amendment referenced in Section 2.03(j) shall be executed and delivered and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder, Xxxxxxxx County, Arizona.

(l) The fees and expenses relating to the opinions referred to in Schedule 1.01(z) shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Seller.

(n) If Closing occurs with a right, property or asset in the Purchased Interest not being Transferred because (a) the Transfer is prohibited by any Law

or would require any governmental or third party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers, and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers have not been obtained prior to the Closing (including pursuant to Section 5.09) and (b) the Transfer is not required at Closing under the explicit terms of this Agreement or has been waived, following the Closing Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of such right, property or asset and to Seller or its Affiliates the benefits that they would have obtained had the right, property or asset been conveyed to Buyer at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement. Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the Transfer of any such right, property or asset not Transferred at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall Transfer such right, property or asset as soon as practicable thereafter to Buyer at no additional cost. To the extent that any such right, property or asset cannot be Transferred or the full benefits of use of any such right, property or asset cannot be provided to Buyer following the Closing pursuant to this Section 5.02(h), then Buyer and Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to Buyer and Seller the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Buyer of the obligations thereunder. Seller shall hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller or any of its Affiliates in connection with its use of any right, property or asset (net of any Taxes and any other costs imposed upon Seller or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 5.02(h).

The written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Buyer and Seller shall be required before any party or any of its respective Affiliates issues any press release or makes any public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that any such public disclosure required by Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange may be made without prior consent of Buyer and Seller; provided, further, that, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party shall consult with Buyer and Seller prior to making such public disclosure.

Section 5.04 . Transfer Taxes.

(h) the occurrence of any event that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.06 . Confidentiality. All information provided or made available by either Seller or Buyer, or their respective Affiliates or representatives, to the other parties or its Affiliates or representatives, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be subject to the provisions on confidentiality set forth in the Operating Agreement.

Section 5.07 . Access and Information.

(k) From the date hereof until Closing, except as prohibited by Law, Seller shall (l) afford Buyer and its representatives (including representatives of entities providing or arranging financing for Buyer) reasonable access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to relevant employees, the Business Intellectual Property, and the assets, books and records of the Business, (m) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Buyer any financial and operating data and other information that is available with respect to the Business as Buyer from time to time reasonably requests, (n) cooperate with Buyer’s due diligence activities, including Buyer’s efforts to verify information about the Purchased Interest and the Business, and (o) instruct relevant employees, and its counsel and financial advisors to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Business, including instructing its accountants to give Buyer access to their work papers; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer have access to any information that would not be provided to a Participant under the Operating Agreement if such access (A) based on the advice of Seller’s counsel, would result in the loss of any legal privilege or (B) in the reasonable judgment of Seller, would violate any obligation of Seller or its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality (so long as, with respect to confidentiality, Seller has made

reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver regarding the possible disclosure from the third party to whom it owes an obligation of confidentiality). Any access prior to the Closing with respect to environmental issues is the subject of Section 5.07(b). No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall alter any representation or warranty given hereunder by Seller or Seller Guarantors. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall be directed to an executive officer of Seller or such Person or Persons as may be designated by Seller.

(p) Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.07(a), except as prohibited by Law, Seller shall at any time following the date hereof until Closing (i) promptly provide to Buyer such information with respect to the Owned Real Property and Leased Real Property relating to the environment and compliance with Environmental Laws as reasonably requested by Buyer, including any audits, assessments, studies, reports, memoranda, documents and written communications relating to the environment, and (ii) promptly make reasonably available to Buyer and its representatives those employees listed on Schedule 5.07(b) (or the successors of such employees) or, at Buyer’s cost, outside advisors of Seller or its Affiliates who have knowledge of such environmental matters. Promptly after the date hereof, Seller shall provide or otherwise make available to Buyer copies of the items on Schedule 3.10(a) as located on Seller’s sharepoint site. Without limiting the first sentence of this Section 5.07(b), from the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any changes to the list in Schedule 3.10(a) which would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the Business or Venture. Seller shall grant Buyer and its representatives reasonable access to the Owned Real Property and, subject to any landlord consents or approvals, the Leased Real Property for the purpose of conducting Phase I environmental site assessments. In association with all such assessments, Buyer shall conduct only one such site visit. Such site visit shall take place on a reasonable number of consecutive days reasonably necessary upon proper planning by Buyer and its representatives and shall not include any intrusive sampling or testing of indoor or outdoor environmental media or building materials.

Section 5.08 . Conduct of Business. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or as Buyer otherwise agrees in writing in advance, Seller shall conduct the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business (including that it shall not Transfer, lease, license, pledge, surrender, encumber, divest, cancel, abandon, allow to lapse or expire, or otherwise dispose of any right, property or asset in the Purchased Interest or Business Intellectual Property or any other material Intellectual Property Right used in or necessary to the conduct of the Business, except in the Ordinary Course of Business) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact the Business and its relationship with Governmental Authorities and its customers, suppliers, creditors and employees.

Section 5.09 . Insurance. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an endorsement or to otherwise include coverage for Buyer’s interest to the extent of the Purchased Interest, under each insurance policy listed in Schedule 3.22 with effect from Closing.

Section 5.10 . Title Commitment. Seller shall cause Security Title Agency to deliver to Buyer a commitment for Seller’s fee simple interest in the Owned Real Property for standard owner’s title insurance policy, together with a copy of all documents referenced therein. If the title commitment discloses any exceptions to title not reasonably acceptable to Buyer (other than Permitted Liens), within thirty (30) days of receipt of such commitment, Buyer shall provide a written notice to Seller of any such Liens. Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to remove or correct the exceptions; provided such removal or correction shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing other than to the extent the failure to remove or correct would result in Seller being unable to convey title as required by Section 2.01(a). Seller shall not be required to deliver to any title company any indemnity or affidavit in connection with Buyer’s purchase of title insurance (other than an affidavit solely as to standard factual matters such as parties in possession and ongoing construction). The cost of the title insurance policy shall be borne by Buyer.

Section 5.11 . Taxation. Buyer shall take no position inconsistent with the election to exclude the Venture from taxation under Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code without Seller’s prior written consent.

Seller shall not be liable unless the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to all such Warranty Breaches exceeds $7,500,000 (the “Deductible Amount”) and then only to the extent of such excess, and (v)Error! Bookmark not defined. Seller’s maximum liability for all such Warranty Breaches shall not exceed $150,000,000; provided, further, that Seller’s maximum liability under or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including in respect of the Seller Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed the Purchase Price (except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation). For purposes of this Section 7.02(a), any qualifications relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications contained in any representation or warranty (other than with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.06(b), 3.10(a), 3.13, 3.17 or 3.22) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached.

(a) Effective at and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its Affiliates their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, attorneys, accountants, agents, representatives and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise, arising out of any Warranty Breach or breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; provided that with respect to indemnification by Buyer for Warranty Breaches pursuant to this Section (other than Warranty Breaches in respect of the Buyer Fundamental Representations), (i)Error!

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing to the party against whom indemnity is to be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under such Section (a “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim, the basis for indemnification and the amount claimed (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party and which amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the Third Party Claim). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim; it being understood that by assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge, based on the facts and circumstances then available and known and the matters alleged, that it has an indemnity obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense, with counsel of its own choice at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing.

The Indemnified Party’s participation in any such defense shall be at its expense except to the extent that (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interest, or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 7.03(e).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.03, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction, equitable relief or decree that would restrict or adversely affect the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the Business, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the Venture, (iii) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the Venture, or (iv) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party or Venture that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(e) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that, subject to the other provisions of this Article 7, the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Damages to the extent provided in Section 7.02.

(g) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent

with Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Section 7.04 . Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 7.02 against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification and the amount claimed (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party and which amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party or the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of jurisdiction determined pursuant to Section 9.06; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not respond within 30 days to the notice of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the claim.

Section 7.05 . Environmental Procedures. Absent the prior consent of Seller, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective representatives shall not disclose, report or communicate to or with any Governmental Authority any matters regarding the Business or Venture Property that relate to Environmental Law, unless required by Law or permitted by the Operating Agreement (as amended from time to time). Communications with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality by Buyer shall be permitted for the purpose of obtaining information relating to environmental matters governed by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and concerning the Business. If any disclosure is required, Buyer shall as reasonably practicable and if permitted by Law, inform Seller of such obligation and allow, if practicable, Seller to make such disclosure.

Section 7.06 . Calculation of Damages. (a) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under insurance coverage for any Damages payable under Section 7.02. The amount of any Damages payable under Section 7.02 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 7.02 for any punitive Damages (except for punitive Damages awarded against an Indemnified Party in a Third Party Claim).

(c) The Indemnified Parties shall act in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate any Damages they may pay, incur, suffer or sustain for which indemnification is available hereunder to the extent required by Law. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party (including an insurer) in respect of Damages that are the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Damages has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Damages, plus the amount received from the third party (including an insurer) in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Damages finally determined in accordance with Section 7.09, within ten Business Days after the amount is received.

(d) With respect to Buyer and its Affiliates, Damages shall be limited to the Damages imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by Buyer and its Affiliates attributable to the Purchased Interest. In no circumstances shall Damages include any Damages suffered by Sumitomo Arizona or any Damages indirectly suffered by Buyer or its Affiliates as a result of Buyer’s indirect interest in the Business and the Venture Property through its interest in Sumitomo Arizona.

Section 7.07 . Assignment of Claims. If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Damages pursuant to Section 7.02 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Damages from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to assign any right to proceed against a Potential Contributor if the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable discretion that such assignment would be materially detrimental to its reputation, future business prospects or existing business.

Section 7.08 . Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, effective as of the Closing Buyer waives any rights and claims Buyer may have against Seller, whether in law or in equity, relating to the ownership or operation of the Purchased Interest prior to Closing, the transfer of the Purchased Interest or the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by Buyer include claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any Environmental Law (whether now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and except in the case of fraud,

intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, after the Closing, Section 7.02 and Section 9.13 will provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.09 . Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.02, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, promptly following receipt from an Indemnified Party of a xxxx, together with all accompanying reasonably detailed back-up documentation, for Damages that are the subject of indemnification hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes the Damages, in which event it shall so notify the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Damages for which it is liable hereunder no later than three Business Days following any final determination of such Damages and the Indemnifying Party’s liability therefor. A “final determination” shall exist only when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing (or a claim has been accepted pursuant to Section 7.04 because the Indemnifying Party has not responded within 30 days to the notice of such claim), (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment, or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto.

ARTICLE 8
TERMINATION

Section 8.01 . Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(b) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer;

(c) by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before February 14, 2017 (the “End Date”); provided that, at the time of such termination, the party seeking to terminate shall not be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to consummate the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

(d) by either Seller or Buyer if consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions;

(e) by Seller if (i) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or 6.03 not to be satisfied and (ii) such condition is incapable of being cured or, if curable, is not cured by Buyer by the earlier of (A) within twenty days after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure and (B) the End Date; provided that at the time of such termination, Seller shall not be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(f) by Buyer if (i) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or 6.02 not to be satisfied and (ii) such condition is incapable of being cured or, if curable, is not cured by Seller by the earlier of (A) within twenty days after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure and (B) the End Date; provided that at the time of such termination, Buyer shall not be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

If Buyer or Seller desires to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.01(b), 8.01(c), 8.01(d) or 8.01(e), Buyer or Seller shall give notice of such termination to the other parties and such termination shall be effective upon delivery of such notices.

Section 8.02 . Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 8.01, such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to any other party; provided that nothing in this Section 8.02 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of covenant or agreement made or to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, in each case that arose prior to such termination. The provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.06, this Section 8.02 and Article 9 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.01.

cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New York, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 9.07 . WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.08 . Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were

upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.10 . Bulk Sales Laws. Buyer and Seller each hereby waive compliance by Seller with the provisions of the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws of any state.

Section 9.11 . Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, (a) the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party and (b) such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. Upon such a determination, 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 contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.12 . Buyer and Seller Disclosure Schedules. Buyer and Seller have set forth information on the Buyer Disclosure Schedule and Seller Disclosure Schedule, respectively, in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of a Schedule need not be set forth in any other section so long as its relevance to such other section of the Schedule or section of the Agreement is readily apparent on the face of the information disclosed. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Schedules to this Agreement may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyer and the disclosure by Seller of any matter in the Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an

acknowledgment by Seller or Buyer that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material.

Section 9.13 . Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 9.15 . Seller Guarantee.

(a) Each Seller Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer (i) the full, complete and timely payment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, by Seller of each and every payment obligation of Seller, without any set off, restriction, condition or deduction for or on account of any counterclaim; and (ii) the due and punctual performance and observance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations, commitments and undertakings hereunder. If Seller shall default for any reason whatsoever on any such payment or performance obligations, then the Seller Guarantors shall unconditionally perform or cause to be performed and satisfy or cause to be satisfied the performance or payment obligations immediately upon notice from Buyer specifying the default so that the same benefits shall be conferred on Buyer as would have been received if such performance or payment obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by Seller. Buyer shall not be required to initiate legal proceedings against Seller or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding against either or both Seller Guarantors. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Seller Guarantor waives (1) any and all legal and equitable defenses available to a guarantor (other than payment in full by Seller) and (2) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and any notices hereunder, including any notice of any amendment of this Agreement or waiver or other similar action granted pursuant to this Agreement and any notice of acceptance. The guarantee set forth in this Section 9.15 shall be deemed a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all payment and performance obligations of Seller hereunder, notwithstanding the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, merger or other incapacity or other restructuring of Seller or any change in the status, control or ownership of Seller. The guarantee set forth in this Section 9.15 is a primary guarantee of payment and not just of collection.

(b) Each Seller Guarantor agrees that any performance or payment obligations expressed to be undertaken by Seller that may not be enforceable against or recoverable from Seller by reason of any legal disability or incapacity on or of Buyer or any fact or circumstance (other than any limitation imposed hereunder) shall nevertheless be enforceable against and recoverable from each Seller Guarantor as though the same had been incurred by the Seller Guarantor and the Seller Guarantor was the sole or principal obligors in respect thereof and shall be performed or paid by the Seller Guarantor on demand.

Section 9.16 . Buyer Guarantee.

(a) Buyer Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Seller (i) the full, complete and timely payment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, by Buyer of each and every payment obligation of Buyer, without any set off, restriction, condition or deduction for or on account of any counterclaim; and (ii) the due and punctual performance and observance by Buyer of all of Buyer’s obligations, commitments and undertakings hereunder. If Buyer shall default for any reason whatsoever on any such payment or performance obligations, then Buyer Guarantor shall unconditionally perform or cause to be performed and satisfy or cause to be satisfied the performance or payment obligations immediately upon notice from Seller specifying the default so that the same benefits shall be conferred on Seller as would have been received if such performance or payment obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by Buyer. Seller shall not be required to initiate legal proceedings against Buyer or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding against Buyer Guarantor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Buyer Guarantor waives (i) any and all legal and equitable defenses available to a guarantor (other than payment in full by Buyer) and (ii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and any notices hereunder, including any notice of any amendment of this Agreement or waiver or other similar action granted pursuant to this Agreement and any notice of acceptance. The guarantee set forth in this Section 9.16 shall be deemed a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction in full of all payment and performance obligations of Buyer hereunder, notwithstanding the winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, merger or other incapacity or other restructuring of Buyer or any change in the status, control or ownership of Buyer. The guarantee set forth in this Section 9.16 is a primary guarantee of payment and not just of collection.

(b) Buyer Guarantor agrees that any performance or payment obligations expressed to be undertaken by Buyer that may not be enforceable against or recoverable from Buyer by reason of any legal disability or incapacity on or of Seller or any fact or circumstance (other than any limitation imposed hereunder) shall nevertheless be enforceable against and recoverable from Buyer Guarantor as though the same had been incurred by Buyer Guarantor and Buyer

Guarantor were the sole or principal obligor in respect thereof and shall be performed or paid by Buyer Guarantor on demand.
