discussed with professional legal, tax, accounting, financial and other advisors
the suitability of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including
the sale of the Shares. Seller acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of
its directors, officers, subsidiaries or affiliates has made or makes any
representations or warranties, whether express or implied, of any kind with

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 4.4 No Waiver. Any waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of
this Agreement. The failure of a party hereto to insist upon strict adherence to
any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a
waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict
adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,

effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding.
The parties agree that the court making any such determination of invalidity or
unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of,
delete specific words or phrases in, or replace any such invalid or
unenforceable provision with one that is valid and enforceable and that comes
closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision,
and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of
the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

Section 4.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns; provided that this Agreement (and any of the rights, interests or
obligations of any party hereunder) may not be assigned by any party without the
prior written consent of the other parties hereto, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment of a party’s rights under this
Agreement in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

Section 4.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as
expressly set forth herein, is not intended to confer upon any person other than
the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. This Agreement may be
amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto or
their respective permitted successors or assigns.

Section 4.8 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed in such state.

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives any objections to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding
relating to this Agreement in such courts, and hereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees

not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and
Seller, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of
which the Company and Seller, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such
judgment. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
