(e)           any other act or omission that may or might otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of law or equity, other than the performance of the Obligation and this Agreement.


 


Section 4.3            Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional, subject to the compliance by the parties with the requirements and procedures set forth herein, agreement to issue Reciprocal Ordinary Shares (or other property as provided herein) and a guarantee of performance of the Obligation and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Exchanging Shareholders at any time of any right or remedy against the Company or Boulevard.

Section 4.6            Government Authority Approval.  The Company and the Exchanging Shareholders shall cooperate with one another in (a) determining whether any action in respect of (including any filing with), or consent, approval, registration or qualification (other than registration under the Securities Act) or waiver by, any governmental authority under any United States federal or state law (a “Governmental Authority”) is required in connection with the issuance of Reciprocal Ordinary Shares upon an exchange pursuant to Article II hereof, (b) using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take any such actions (including making any filing or furnishing any information required in connection therewith) in order to obtain any such consent, approval, registration, qualification or waiver required in connection with an exchange to be effected in accordance with Article II hereof on a timely basis and (c) keeping the other party promptly informed in all material respects with respect to any communication given or received in connection with any such action, consent, approval or waiver, including using reasonable efforts to provide to each other in advance any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party; provided, that any and all fees, costs and expenses required to be incurred by either the Company or the Exchanging Shareholders in connection with obtaining any such consent, approval, registration or qualification or waiver by, any Governmental Authority shall be paid by the Exchanging Shareholders.
