11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be
required, which counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, and it shall not be
necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, appear on each counterpart; but it
shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of
the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more such counterparts. All such
counterparts when taken together shall constitute a single and legally binding agreement.
11.12 Time of the Essence; Calculation of Time Period. Each party hereto acknowledges
and agrees that time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement and that the
breach of any provision hereof requiring any act to be done or step to be taken within a certain
period or prior to a certain date or time shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be
done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating
such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in

subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including”
or any variation thereof means “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit
any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately
following it.

and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto
