Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may make an announcement concerning the performance of the Transition Services without prior notification to the other parties if required by (i) the Laws of any relevant jurisdiction, (ii) any existing contractual obligations, or (iii) any Governmental Authority to which either party is subject or submits, wherever situated, whether or not the requirement has the force of Law; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), the relevant party shall take such steps as may be reasonable and practicable under the relevant circumstances to agree on the contents of such announcement with the other parties before making such an announcement.

13. Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14. Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder in any manner whatsoever, by operation of Law or otherwise (including, without limitation, by merger, contribution, spin-off or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such party and any attempted assignment thereof shall be void; provided that the Purchaser and Rhodia U.S. may assign or transfer this Agreement to each of their respective Affiliates, to its financing sources (for collateral purposes) and, in the case of Purchaser, to any subsequent purchaser of the Business or any portion thereof; provided, however, no assignment shall relieve any party of its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, in any manner.

15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and, except as expressly permitted herein, nothing herein is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

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 to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights.

19. Severability.

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 contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

brought by either party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

24. 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 CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
