No waiver, consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or any other person is required by or with respect to Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by Purchaser of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for:

(a) the consents identified as required on Schedule 6.8, which are:

	(1)		all consents, waivers and approvals required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any of Purchaser’s Contracts or Permits; and
	(2)		will be secured before the Closing;

(b) such other waivers, consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as would not individually or in the aggregate:

- 17 -

	(1)		have a material adverse effect on Purchaser;
	(2)		impair Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or
	(3)		prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7. Pre-Closing Covenants. After the execution of this Agreement and before the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement:

	7.1		Consents and Approvals. Purchaser and Seller will cooperate
	(a)		to obtain as expeditiously as possible all material Permits necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
	(b)		to comply with all material Laws regulating or restricting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
	7.2		Conduct of Business. Seller will conduct the Business only in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, will maintain and preserve the Assets, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to:

	(c)		keep available to Purchaser the services of the managers, employees, agents and independent contractors who work exclusively for the Business;

   Seller is not required to take or refrain from taking any action that, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, is likely to result in:

	(1)		a substantial penalty;
	(2)		a claim for damages by any third party against Seller;
	(3)		losses to Seller;

- 18 -

	(4)		prejudice to or interference with the Business; or
	(5)		a breach by any of the Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement.
	7.3		Approval of Certain Transactions. Seller will not, without Purchaser’s prior written approval, take or agree to take the following actions in connection with the Business:
	(a)		incur any additional debt related to the Business, other than trade debt and normal intercompany payables and receivables incurred in the ordinary course of business;
	(b)		increase the compensation of any managers or employees working exclusively for the Business, except for normal periodic bonus accruals and normal periodic increases in regular compensation;
	(c)		declare or pay any dividends to its shareholders or make any distributions to its shareholders, other than transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices;
	(d)		take any action which would breach any of its representations and warranties in this Agreement;
	(e)		sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Assets except in the ordinary course of business;
	(f)		subject any Assets to an Encumbrance, other than in the ordinary course of business; or

	7.4		Material Changes. Seller will give Purchaser written notice of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event known to Seller (excluding matters known only to Seller’s personnel who are expected to be employed by Buyer after the closing), the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause any representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or any Schedule hereto to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect (in which case Seller shall provide Purchaser with an updated Schedule). Any supplement or amendment to a schedule or schedules made with respect to matters occurring on or after the date of this Agreement will not be indemnifiable as a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement; provided, in the event any supplement or amendment would constitute a material breach if it had occurred prior to the

- 19 -

			date hereof, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c); provided, however, that the delivery of any notice or updated Schedule pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice with respect to any matter occurring prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise resulting from a breach of covenant in this Agreement.
	7.5		Asset Restrictions. Seller will take no action that would encumber or restrict the Assets or their sale or transfer, except actions to enforce rights under this Agreement;
