ARTICLE XVI

MISCELLANEOUS

16.01 Arbitration Procedure. Except for remedies for injunctive relief as
provided in Section 16.02, all disputes arising under this Agreement shall be
submitted to and settled by arbitration. Arbitration shall be by one
(1) arbitrator selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”). The hearing before the arbitrator shall be held in Chicago,
Illinois if the dispute is initiated by Buyer and in Hillsborough County,
Florida if the dispute is initiated by Seller or any Individual Seller and shall
be conducted in accordance with the rules existing at the date thereof of the
AAA, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding as to any matters submitted to them under
this Agreement. All costs and expense incurred in connection with any such
arbitration proceeding and those incurred in any civil action to enforce the
same shall be borne by the party against which the decision is rendered.

16.02 Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement in the U.S. District Court for
the Middle District of Florida, the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, and the Circuit Courts in and for Hillsborough County,
Florida and Chicago, Illinois, this being in addition to any other remedy,
subject to Section 16.01, to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In
addition, but without limiting the effect of Section 16.01, Buyer (i) submits to
the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois and the Circuit Court of Cook County, as the exclusive proper forum in
which to adjudicate any case or controversy Buyer brings arising out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees
that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion
or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that it will
not initiate any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois, and the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Similarly, in addition, but without limiting the effect of Section 16.01, Seller
and each Individual Seller hereto (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S.
District for the Middle District of Florida, and the Circuit Court in and for
Hillsborough County, Florida, as the exclusive proper forum in which to
adjudicate any case or controversy Seller or any Individual Seller brings
arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal
jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and
(iii) agrees that it will not initiate any action relating to this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than
the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and the Circuit
Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida.

16.03 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer
and Seller (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Individual Sellers) will bear
their own respective expenses, including, without limitation, counsel and
accountants’ fees, in connection with the preparation and negotiation of, and
transactions contemplated under, this Agreement.

16.05 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed in its construction,

investigations, trials, bankruptcies, and appeals.

16.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but
all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16.07 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without
the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that
rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement (i) shall pass to any
successor corporation which assumes its business and affairs by merger,

all its stock and (ii) may be assigned to any affiliate of Buyer, without any
such prior written consent by any other party hereto.

16.08 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the corporate parties to this Agreement and their respective legal
representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, and the individual parties
to this Agreement and their respective heirs, personal representatives, and
permitted assigns.

16.09 Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against
any party regardless of who is responsible for its drafting. Unless the context
of this Agreement otherwise clearly requires, references to the plural include
the singular and the singular include the plural. Wherever the context so
requires, the masculine shall refer to the feminine, the feminine shall refer to
the masculine, the masculine or the feminine shall refer to the neuter, and the

16.11 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement, whether in whole or in part, shall not in any way affect the validity
and/or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Any invalid or
unenforceable provisions shall be deemed severable to the extent of any such
invalidity or unenforceability.

16.12 Waiver. Any party may, by written notice to another party, (i) agree to
extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other actions
of the other party under this Agreement, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations or warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or
in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) waive compliance
with any of the conditions or covenants of the other party contained in this
Agreement, or (iv) waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the
other party under this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
investigation by or on behalf of a party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver
by such party of compliance with any of the representations, warranties,
covenants, conditions, or agreements contained in this Agreement. No failure or
delay on the part of a party in exercising any right or remedy with respect to a
breach of this Agreement by another party shall operate as a waiver thereof or
of any prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement by the breaching party, nor
shall the exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or exercise of any other right or remedy in connection with
this Agreement.

16.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Annex, Schedules and
Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
