     Each Seller hereby represents and warrants, jointly and severally, to the Purchasers, as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date or, if a representation or warranty is made as of a
specified date, as of such date, as follows:



     Section 3.01. Organization, Authority and Qualification of the Sellers. (a) Each Seller is a company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and has all necessary corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is
specified to be, a party, to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. To the extent applicable, each Seller is duly
licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction for which the
properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or
qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in
good standing would not (a) adversely affect the ability of such Seller to carry out its
obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, or (b) otherwise, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party by each Seller, the
performance by each



14









 




Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by each
Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action
on the part of each Seller and, to the extent necessary, its shareholders, including the written
consent of shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Claxson, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.01. This Agreement has been, and upon their execution the
Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is specified to be, a party shall have been, duly executed
and delivered by each Seller, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Purchasers) this Agreement constitutes, and upon their execution the Ancillary Agreements to which
it is, or is specified to be, a party shall constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of
each Seller, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with their respective terms.




          (b) The only vote of holders of any class or series of shares of Claxson to approve and adopt
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is the authorization of the sale of the
Shares pursuant to this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Claxson. The affirmative vote of the holders of any class or series of shares of Claxson, or any
of them, is not necessary to approve any Ancillary Agreement or any transaction contemplated
thereby.




     Section 3.02. Organization Authority and Qualification of the Company, Books and
Records. Each Company and each Subsidiary is a corporation, or other legal business entity, duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is accepted in the

corporate power or other power and authority to own, operate or lease the properties and assets now
owned, operated or leased by it and to carry on its business as it has been and is currently
conducted. Each Company and each Subsidiary is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in
good standing (to the extent such concept is accepted in the relevant jurisdiction) in each
jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes
such licensing or qualification necessary or desirable, except to the extent that the failure to be
so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not (a) adversely affect the ability of each
Seller to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or (b) otherwise, individually or in the aggregate, cause a
Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation, certificate
of formation, by-laws, operating agreement or similar organizational documents of each Company and

partnership or company books, records and ledgers and related documentation of each Company and

true and complete minutes and records of all issuances and transfers of any stock, partnership or
other ownership interests in each Company and each Subsidiary, and all minutes and records of all
meetings, consents, proceedings, and other actions of the partners, members, shareholders, board of
directors and committees of the board of directors of each Company and each Subsidiary since its
respective date of incorporation or formation. No Company or any Subsidiary is in breach of any
provision of its Organizational Documents.

capital stock of each Company and each Subsidiary have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, except

of any preemptive or similar rights. Except as set forth in Section 3.03(a) of the Disclosure
Schedule, there are no options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights,
agreements, arrangements or commitments relating to the Shares or obligating any of the Sellers,
the Companies or the Subsidiaries to issue, sell or transfer any shares or any other interest in,
the Companies or the Subsidiaries. The Shares constitute all the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Companies and are owned of record and beneficially by the Sellers free and clear of
all Encumbrances. Except as set forth in Section 3.03(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, all of the
capital stock of each Subsidiary is owned directly or indirectly by the Companies free and clear of
all Encumbrances. The transfer and delivery of the Shares to the Purchasers as contemplated by
this Agreement will transfer good title to the Shares to the Purchasers free and clear of all
Encumbrances. Except for its interests in the Subsidiaries and except for the ownership interests
set forth in Section 3.03(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, no Company owns, directly or indirectly,
any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest or other equity interest.

Argentine law (the “Argentine Companies”), of its board of directors, and of its
shareholders have been taken in accordance with the by-laws of the applicable Company or
Subsidiary, other than violations that would not individually or in the aggregate adversely affect
such Argentine Company, and all applicable Laws and have been duly recorded in the Public Registry

it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the
extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not adversely affect
the ability of such Purchaser to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. The execution and
delivery by each Purchaser of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is, or is
specified to be, a party, the performance by each Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of such Purchaser.
This Agreement has been, and upon their execution the Ancillary Agreements to which each Purchaser
is, or is specified to be, a party shall have been, duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser,
and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Sellers) this Agreement constitutes,
and upon their execution the Ancillary Agreements to which such Purchaser is, or is specified to
be, a party shall constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable
against such Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Purchasers of shares of companies organized under the laws of Argentina
represent and warrant that they are registered under Section 123 of the Argentine Companies Law;
or, to the extent that any such Purchaser is an Argentine company, such Purchaser is duly and
validly registered as an Argentine company.

specified to be, a party do not and will not (a) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws
(or similar organizational documents) of such Purchaser, (b) conflict with or violate any Law or

license, permit, franchise or other instrument or arrangement to which such Purchaser is a party,

the nature of the Business or ownership of the Sellers, any of the Companies or any of the
Subsidiaries or (d) where the failure to obtain any such consent, approval, authorization or
action, or to make such filing or notification, would not prevent or materially delay the
consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements.



     Section 4.04. Investment Purpose. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for the purpose of investment and not with a
view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof other than in compliance
with all applicable laws, including United States federal securities laws. Each Purchaser agrees
that the Shares may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws,
except pursuant to an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and such laws.
Each Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period
(including total loss of its investment), and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of their investment.



     Section 4.05. Financing. Each Purchaser has sufficient immediately available funds to pay, in cash, the Purchase
Price payable by such Purchaser and all other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements or otherwise necessary to consummate all the transactions contemplated hereby

capital, (c) neither Purchaser will have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as
they mature and (d) the capital of neither Purchaser will be impaired.

knowledge of the Purchasers, threatened, which could affect the
legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.



     Section 4.07. Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee
or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon
arrangements made by or on behalf of the Purchasers.



     Section 4.08. Independent Investigation; Sellers’ Representations. Each Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the
business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, software,
technology and prospects of the Business, which investigation, review and analysis was done by the
Purchasers and their Affiliates and representatives. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it and its
representatives have been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, premises and
records of the Business for such purpose. In entering into this Agreement, each Purchaser
acknowledges that it has relied solely upon the aforementioned investigation, review and analysis
and not on any factual representations or opinions of the Sellers or their representatives (except
the specific representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in Article III and the
schedules thereto). Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) other than the
representations and warranties made in Article III, none of the Sellers, their Affiliates, or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives make or have made any
representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the Companies,
the Subsidiaries, the Shares or the Assets, including as to (i) merchantability or fitness for any
particular use or purpose, (ii) the operation of the Business by the Purchasers after the Closing
in any manner other than as used and operated by the Sellers, the Companies and the Subsidiaries or

Sellers, their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or

information, documents or material made available to the Purchasers, whether orally or in writing,
in certain “data rooms,” management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, responses to
questions submitted on behalf of the Purchasers or in any other form in expectation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Agreement”), between Claxson and Time Warner Inc. are hereby incorporated herein by reference

Agreement and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 5.03 shall terminate; provided,
however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate only in respect of that portion of the
Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) exclusively relating to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated
prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and
effect.



          (b) Nothing provided to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 5.02(b) shall in any way amend or
diminish the Purchasers’ obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement. Each Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that any Confidential Information provided to the Purchasers pursuant to
Section 5.02(b) or otherwise by any Seller, any Company, any Subsidiary or any officer, director,
employee, agent, representative, accountant, tax advisor or counsel thereof shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.




          (c) Each Seller shall keep confidential, and cause its Affiliates and instruct its and their
officers, directors, employees and advisors to keep confidential, all information relating to the
Companies and the Subsidiaries, except (i) as required by Law or administrative process, (ii) for
information any Seller must reasonably disclose to its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors and
other agents and advisors in connection with post-Closing matters hereunder or



32









 






other matters as to
which such Seller has rights, retained obligations or liabilities hereunder and (iii) for
information that is available to the public on the date of Closing, or thereafter becomes available
to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.03(c). The covenant set forth
in this Section 5.03(c) shall terminate three years after the date of Closing.




     Section 5.04. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the
Purchasers and each of the Sellers agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to
be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other
parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make
effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including
using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all acts
necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, and (ii)
the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from any
Governmental Authority and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings
with Governmental Authorities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an
approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority.



          (b) Each party hereto agrees, as promptly as practical, but in no event more than 30 days
after the date hereof, to make its respective filing with applicable antitrust authorities in
Argentina, Brazil and any other required jurisdictions with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and agrees to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate
Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested
pursuant to the applicable antitrust laws and regulations. The Sellers shall not be required to pay
any fees or other payments to any Governmental Authorities in order to obtain any such
authorization, consent, order or approval (other than normal filing fees that are imposed by Law on
the Sellers). Purchasers will be obligated to contest, administratively or in court, any ruling,
order or other action of any Governmental Authority respecting the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement pursuant to any applicable antitrust or competition law, except to the extent that
TII determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that there is no reasonable legal basis for
contesting such ruling, order or other action or no reasonable prospect of a favorable
determination thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of this
Section 5.04, “reasonable best efforts” of the Purchasers shall not require any Purchaser to agree
(and no Company or Subsidiary shall agree) to (i) divest or hold separate (including by trust or
otherwise) any assets or any portion of any business of, or modify or accept conditions with
respect to the operation of the business of, the Purchasers (not including the Company or any
Subsidiary after the Closing) as of the date hereof, or (ii) divest or hold separate any
significant assets or any significant portion of any business of, or modify or accept conditions
with respect to any significant portion of the operations of, the Company and its Subsidiaries.




          (c) Each party to this Agreement shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it
or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are
the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed
communication by such party to any Governmental Authority. Neither party to this Agreement shall
agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings,
investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance



33









 






and, to the
extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend
and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties to this
Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and
providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the
foregoing and in seeking approvals from antitrust authorities. Subject to the Confidentiality
Agreement, the parties to this Agreement will provide each other with copies of all correspondence
or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any
Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.




          (d) Prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies and the
Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents, approvals or waivers
from third parties necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Purchasers shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to assist the Sellers in
giving such notices and obtaining such consents. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the
contrary, no party shall be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation
in favor of) any Person from whom any such consent, approval or waiver may be required.




          (e) The Sellers and the Purchasers agree to use their reasonable best efforts and to take any
and all steps necessary to make any filings with the SEC required pursuant to the Exchange Act in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and agree to cooperate in
providing each other with any additional information which the other parties may reasonably request
in order to comply with the Exchange Act requirements.




          (f) The Sellers and the Purchasers agree that, in the event that any consent, approval or
authorization necessary or desirable to preserve for the Business, any Company or any Subsidiary
any right or benefit under any lease, license, contract, commitment or other agreement or
arrangement to which any Company or any Subsidiary is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing,
the Sellers will, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with the Purchasers, any Company or any such
Subsidiary in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter
as practicable.




     Section 5.05. Retained Names and Marks. (a) Purchasers hereby acknowledge that all right, title and interest in and to the names
“Claxson Interactive Group” and “Claxson”, together with all variations thereof and all trademarks,
service marks, domain names, trade names, trade dress, corporate names and other identifiers of
source containing, incorporating or associated with any of the foregoing (the “Retained Names
and Marks”) are owned exclusively by the Sellers, and that, except as expressly provided below,
any and all right of the Companies and the Subsidiaries to use the Retained Names and Marks shall
terminate as of the Closing and shall immediately revert to the Sellers. Purchasers further
acknowledge that they have no rights, and are not acquiring any rights, to use the Retained Names
and Marks, except as provided below.

          (b) Each Company and each Subsidiary shall, for a period of 45 Business Days after the date of
the Closing, be entitled to use all of such Company’s and such Subsidiary’s existing stocks of
signs, letterheads, advertisements and promotional materials, Internet web sites and Internet
domain names, inventory and other documents and materials (“Existing Stock”) containing the
Retained Names and Marks, after which date the Purchasers shall cause such Company and such
Subsidiary to remove or obliterate all Retained Names and Marks from such Existing Stock or cease
using such Existing Stock, and transfer to the Sellers any rights with respect to Internet domain
names incorporating any Retained Names or Marks. The Purchasers and all of the Companies and
Subsidiaries, as well as any successors and/or assigns, shall thereafter permanently cease and
desist from all use of any of the Retained Names and Marks in any form or manner, including,
without limitation as part of any entity name or in connection with any goods or services, and
shall not claim or purport to grant to any third party any rights with respect to any of the
Retained Names and Marks or challenge or assist any third party in challenging in any way any of
the Sellers’ rights with respect to same.




          (c) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no other right to use the Retained Names
and Marks is granted by the Sellers to the Purchasers or the Companies and the Subsidiaries,
whether by implication or otherwise, and nothing hereunder permits the Purchasers, any Company or
any Subsidiary to use the Retained Names and Marks on any documents, materials, products or
services other than in connection with the Existing Stock. The Purchasers shall ensure that all
use of the Retained Names and Marks by the Companies and the Subsidiaries as provided in this
Section 5.05 shall be only with respect to goods and services of a level of quality equal to or
greater than the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Business used the Retained
Names and Marks prior to the Closing.




     Section 5.06. Notifications; Update of Disclosure Schedule. (a) Until the Closing Date, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in
writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of
which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in
Article VIII of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that the
delivery of, or failure to deliver, any notice pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall not limit or
otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.



          (b) The Disclosure Schedule shall automatically be deemed to be updated, without any action on
the part of the parties hereto, to reflect any information provided in a notice required pursuant
to this Section 5.06; provided, that the updating of the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this
Section 5.06 shall not have any effect for the purpose of determining the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a) or for the purposes of determining whether any Person is
entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII or Article IX.




     Section 5.07. Transition Services. Following the Closing, the Sellers shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Business
certain services that are currently provided by the Sellers and their Affiliates to the Business,

information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of

substantial assets or similar transaction involving the Business, any Company or any Subsidiary,
other than (A) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) the sale of inventory or
other assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

their officers, employees, agents, auditors, counsel and representatives to cooperate with each
other, for a period of 180 days after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Companies
and the Subsidiaries from the Sellers to the Purchasers and to minimize any disruption to the
Companies and the Subsidiaries and the other respective businesses of the Sellers and the
Purchasers that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. After the Closing, upon
reasonable written notice, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
each other and their respective officers, employees, agents, auditors, counsel and representatives
access, during normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Companies
and the Subsidiaries (to the extent within the control of such party) as is reasonably necessary
for financial reporting and accounting matters.



          (b) Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 5.12. No party shall be required by this
Section 5.12 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business
or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations (or, in the case of the Purchasers, those of the
Companies and the Subsidiaries).

     Section 5.13. Records. (a) On the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchasers all agreements, documents, books, records and files, including records and files stored

in the possession or under the control of the Sellers relating to the Business and operations of
the Companies and the Subsidiaries to the extent not then in the possession of the Companies and
the Subsidiaries, subject to the following exceptions:



          (b) Purchaser recognizes that certain Records may contain incidental information relating to
the Companies and the Subsidiaries or may relate primarily to
subsidiaries, divisions or businesses of the Sellers other than the Business, the Companies
and the Subsidiaries, and that the Sellers may retain such Records and shall provide copies of the
relevant portions thereof to the Purchasers;




          (c) The Sellers may retain all Records prepared in connection with the sale of the Shares,
including bids received from other parties and analyses relating to the Companies and the
Subsidiaries; and




          (d) The Sellers may retain any Tax Returns and related work papers and other records, and the
Purchasers shall be provided with copies of such Tax Returns and related work papers and other
records.




          (e) The Purchasers acknowledge that the Companies and the Subsidiaries possess information
relating to the Sellers’ other operations. After the Closing, the Purchasers shall, and shall
cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, preserve the confidential nature of such information
(except as required by applicable Law or compulsory legal process) and provide the Sellers and
their employees and other representatives access to such information upon reasonable notice and
during normal business hours.




     Section 5.14. Indebtedness and Inter-company Indebtedness. On or prior to the Closing Date, all Indebtedness of the Companies and the Subsidiaries
shall be satisfied in full in cash or assumed by any Seller or any Affiliate of the Sellers without
recourse to the Companies and the Subsidiaries and all Inter-company Indebtedness other than any
Inter-company Indebtedness between the Companies and the Subsidiaries shall be satisfied in full in
cash or be capitalized and in the case of Imagen, the Amended and Restated Promissory Note of
Imagen, dated November 15, 2005 in favor of Claxson shall be capitalized so that the accumulated
losses of Imagen do not exceed 50% of its capital stock.



     Section 5.15. Resignations. On the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause to be delivered to the Purchasers duly signed
resignations in the form of Exhibit 2.04(c) effective immediately after the Closing, of all
directors, officers and syndics of the Companies and the Subsidiaries that will not continue as
employees of any Company or Subsidiary after the Closing and in respect of any director, officer or
syndic that will continue as an employee of any Company or Subsidiary after the Closing any such
director, officer or syndic that TII has requested resign in a written notice to the Sellers at
least five Business Days before the Closing and the Sellers shall take such other action as is
necessary to accomplish the foregoing.



37









 





     Section 5.16. Redemption of Claxson’s 8.75% Senior Notes due 2010. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, but not later than 30 days after the
Closing, Claxson shall redeem all of Claxson’s outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes due 2010 (the

released, effective immediately after Closing, from its guarantee of each of the agreements listed
in Section 5.17 of the Disclosure Schedule and in
its place substitute TII or one of its creditworthy Affiliates as the guarantor, effective
immediately after Closing, of each such agreement, unless the counterparties to any such agreement
agree to release Claxson without requiring a substitute guarantor. Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, no party shall be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or
incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such release may be required.



ARTICLE VI




EMPLOYEE MATTERS




     Section 6.01. Employee Benefits. (a) Promptly after the date hereof, the Sellers shall, or shall cause any of their
Affiliates other than the Companies and the Subsidiaries to, make an offer of employment to the
employees of Imagen listed in Section 6.01(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified
Imagen Employees”), which employment shall commence immediately prior to the Closing. The
Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates other than the Companies and the Subsidiaries to,
encourage the Specified Imagen Employees to accept employment with the Sellers and such Affiliates.
Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause Imagen to terminate the employment of the
Specified Imagen Employees effective as of immediately prior to the Closing; provided that Imagen
shall not be required to terminate the employment of the Specified Imagen Employees listed in
Section 6.01(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule.



          (b) From the Closing Date until the first anniversary thereof, the Purchasers shall provide,
or cause their Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Imagen) to provide each of the employees
of Imagen listed in Section 6.01(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (each, an “Imagen Employee”)
who remain in the employment of Imagen after the Closing, with compensation and benefits that are
substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to the Imagen Employees by Imagen
immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, that, except as may be required under applicable
Law, (i) the Purchasers shall not have any obligation to issue, or adopt any plans or arrangements
providing for the issuance of, shares of capital stock, warrants, options, stock appreciation
rights or other rights in respect of any shares of capital stock of any entity or any securities
convertible or exchangeable into such shares; and (ii) no plans or arrangements of Imagen providing
for such issuance prior to the Closing Date shall be taken into account in determining whether
compensation and benefits are substantially comparable in the aggregate.





38









 








          (c) The Purchasers shall be entitled to, including by causing their Affiliates to, make an
offer of employment effective on the Closing Date to the current employees of the Sellers or the
Sellers’ Affiliates listed in Section 6.01(c) of the Disclosure Schedule (each a “Relevant
Seller Employee”) with compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable in the
aggregate to those provided by the Sellers or the Sellers’ Affiliates to the Relevant Seller
Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. From the Closing Date until the first anniversary
thereof, the Purchasers shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, provide the Relevant Seller
Employees who accept employment with the Purchasers or their Affiliates (each, a “Transferred
Employee”) with compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to
those provided by the Sellers or the Sellers’ Affiliates to the Transferred Employees immediately
prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as
may be required under applicable Law, (i) the Purchasers shall not have any obligation to
issue, or adopt any plans or arrangements providing for the issuance of, shares of capital stock,
warrants, options, stock appreciation rights or other rights in respect of any shares of capital
stock of any entity or any securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares and (ii) no
plans or arrangements of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Affiliates providing for such issuance prior
to the Closing Date shall be taken into account in determining whether compensation and benefits
are substantially comparable in the aggregate. Each Transferred Employee shall receive credit for
services with the Sellers or the Sellers’ Affiliates under any Purchasers’ employee benefit plans
in which such Transferred Employee is eligible to participate after the Closing for purposes of
participation, eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) and with respect
to all accrued vacation days, to the extent such service is recognized under the Benefit Plans;
provided, however, that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of
benefits or the funding thereof.




          (d) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Sellers, the Companies
and the Subsidiaries shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, any of the
Purchasers, the Companies or the Subsidiaries to continue any specific plans or continue the
employment of any specific Person after the Closing.




          (e) None of the Purchasers and the Affiliates of the Purchasers shall be obligated to offer
employment to any employees of any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller other than Imagen. None
of the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall have any liabilities, obligations or commitments with
respect to (i) any Specified Imagen Employees other than any Specified Imagen Employees who are
listed in Section 6.01(a)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule who remain employed by Imagen immediately
following the Closing or (ii) any employees of any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller other than
Imagen who do not become Transferred Employees, and the Sellers shall indemnify the Purchasers and
their Affiliates and hold the Purchasers and their Affiliates harmless with respect to any such
liabilities, obligations and commitments.




          (f) The provisions of this Section 6.01 are not intended to confer upon any Person other than
the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

ARTICLE VII




TAX MATTERS




     Section 7.01. Tax Indemnities. (a) The Sellers shall indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their Affiliates harmless
against (i) any liability for Excluded Taxes; (ii) any breach of the warranties made under Section
3.16(j) and (k); (iii) any additional Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) payable by the Companies
and the Subsidiaries as a result of a breach by Sellers of any covenant contained in this Article
VII; and (iv) all liability for reasonable legal fees and expenses attributable to any item in
clauses (i) through (iii).



          (b) The Purchasers shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and hold the Sellers and their
Affiliates harmless against (i) any liability for Taxes of the Companies and the Subsidiaries other
than Excluded Taxes, except as otherwise specified in Section 7.01; (ii) any breach by the
Purchasers or their Affiliates of any covenant contained in this Article VII; and (iii) all liability for reasonable legal fees and expenses attributable to any item in clauses
(i) and (ii).




          (c) Payment by the indemnifying party of any amount due under this Section 7.01 shall be made
within 10 days following written notice by the indemnified party that payment of such amount to the
appropriate taxing authority is due. In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.05, payment of the Tax to the appropriate taxing authority will be
considered to be due no earlier than the date a final determination to such effect is made by the
appropriate administrative or judicial authority.




     Section 7.02. Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a
“Straddle Period”), the Taxes of the Companies and the Subsidiaries considered to be
Excluded Taxes shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the
Closing Date, provided that real, personal, and intangible property taxes (“Property
Taxes”) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after
the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period.



     Section 7.03. Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits. (a) Any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit not reflected in Closing Working Capital
(including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) relating to taxable periods (or
portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date shall be the property of the Sellers, and if
received by any Purchaser, any Company or any Subsidiary, shall be paid over promptly to the
Sellers. The Purchasers shall, if the Sellers so request and at the Sellers’ expense, cause the
Companies or other relevant entity to file for and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and
expedite the receipt of any refund to which the Sellers are entitled under this Section 7.03,
provided that such action would not adversely affect the Purchasers or such Companies or other
relevant entity. The Purchasers shall permit the Sellers to participate in (at the Sellers’
expense) the prosecution of any such refund claim.



          (b) Any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited with
respect thereto) relating to taxable periods (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date
shall be the property of the Purchasers, the Companies, and the Subsidiaries, and if received by
any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller, shall be paid over promptly to the Purchasers.




40









 








     Section 7.04. Calculation of Tax Losses. Any available amount otherwise payable under Section 7.01 shall be net of any insurance or
other recoveries payable to the indemnified party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts
giving rise to the right of indemnification and shall be (i) increased to take account of any net
Tax cost when, as and if actually incurred by the indemnified party arising from the receipt of
indemnity payments hereunder and (ii) reduced by any net Tax benefit when, as and if actually
realized by the indemnified party arising in connection with any underlying adjustment resulting in
the obligation of the indemnified party to pay Taxes or other amounts for which the indemnifying
party is responsible under Section 7.01 or the accrual or payment of such Taxes. In computing the
amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the indemnified party shall be deemed to recognize all
other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the
receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified amount.
The indemnified party shall provide to the indemnifying party a statement setting forth the amount
of such Tax
cost or Tax benefit, with reasonable detail as to the calculation of such amount, and any
information reasonably requested by the indemnifying party to verify that the calculation of the
amount of such Tax cost or Tax benefit is consistent with the indemnified party’s relevant Tax
Returns. The indemnified party shall hold, and will cause its Affiliates and representatives to
hold, in confidence, all information so provided. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall
the indemnified party be required to undertake, modify or abandon any Tax planning measures or
produce its Tax Returns for inspection.



     Section 7.05. Contests. (a) After the Closing, the Purchasers shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative in
writing of the proposed assessment or the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or
judicial proceeding or of any written demand or claim against the Purchasers, their Affiliates, any
Company or any Subsidiary which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer or after the lapse of
time, may give rise to a claim by the Purchasers for indemnification by the Sellers under Section
7.01. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the Purchasers, their
Affiliates, any Company or any Subsidiary) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable
detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority
in respect of any such asserted Tax liability. If the Purchasers fail to give the Seller
Representative notice within a reasonable time following an asserted Tax liability as required by
this Section 7.05, then the Sellers shall not have any obligation to indemnify for any loss
arising out of such asserted Tax liability, but only to the extent that failure to give such notice
results in a material detriment to the Sellers.



          (b) In the case of a Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding (a “Contest”)
that relates to taxable periods ending on or before the date of the Closing, the Sellers shall have
the sole right, at their expense, to control the conduct of such Contest, provided that Seller
acknowledges in writing that it has sole liability for any Taxes that might arise in such
proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Sellers shall not settle any Contest on a
basis that would adversely affect the liability for Taxes of the Purchasers or any Company or
Subsidiary without first obtaining such party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.




41









 








     Section 7.06. Preparation of Tax Returns. (a) The Sellers shall prepare and file (or cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to
prepare and file) on a basis consistent with past practice all Tax Returns relating to each Company
and each Subsidiary for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date.



          (b) The Sellers shall timely prepare and file (or cause the Companies and Subsidiaries to
prepare and file) on a basis consistent with past practice all Tax Returns required to be filed
with respect to the Assets of the Companies and Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period only to the
extent such Tax Returns are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date.




          (c) The Purchasers shall prepare and file (or cause the Companies and the Subsidiaries to
prepare and file) on a basis consistent with past practice to the extent permissible under
applicable Law, all required Tax Returns that relate to the Companies or any Subsidiary for taxable
periods ending after the Closing Date.




          (d) The party responsible for preparing the Tax Return shall remit in a timely manner to the
appropriate Governmental Authority all Tax due in connection with that Tax Return. However, for
the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not affect any right of indemnification under Section
7.01.




     Section 7.07. Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Sellers and the Purchasers shall provide each other with such cooperation and
information as either of them reasonably may request of the other (and the Purchasers shall cause
the Companies and the Subsidiaries to provide such cooperation and information) in filing any Tax
Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to a
refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of
Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or
portions thereof, together with related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other
determinations by taxing authorities. The Sellers and the Purchasers shall make themselves (and
their respective employees) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
explanations of any documents or information provided under this Section 7.07. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 5.02, each of the Sellers and the Purchasers shall retain all
Tax Returns, work papers and all material records or other documents in its possession (or in the
possession of their Affiliates) relating to Tax matters of any Company or any Subsidiary for any
taxable period that includes the date of the Closing and for all prior taxable periods until the
later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax
Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions or (ii) six years following the
due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Prior to disposing of any such records in
accordance with the previous sentence, the party holding the records will provide the other party
notice of such disposal and offer to deliver such records to the other party at the other party’s
expense. Any information obtained under this Section 7.07 shall be kept confidential, except as
may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in
conducting an audit or other proceeding.



42









 





     Section 7.08. Conveyance Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchasers, on the one
hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall share equally any and all Conveyance Taxes that may
be imposed upon, or payable or collectible or incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchasers and the Sellers agree to cooperate in the
execution and delivery of all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the Purchasers to
comply with any pre-Closing filing requirements.



     Section 7.09. Tax Covenants. (a) Neither the Purchasers nor any Affiliate of the Purchasers shall take or omit to take,
or cause or permit any Company or any Subsidiary to take or omit to take, any action listed in
Section 7.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, that could increase the Sellers’ or any of their
Affiliates’ liability for Taxes.



          (b) Neither the Purchasers nor any Affiliate of the Purchasers shall amend, refile or
otherwise modify, or cause or permit any Company or any Subsidiary to amend, refile or otherwise
modify, any Tax election or Tax Return with respect to any taxable period (or portion of any
taxable period) ending on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the
Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).




          (c) Sellers shall not, and shall not cause the Company or any Subsidiary to, make or revoke or
permit to be made or revoked any Tax election relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or ownership
of the Shares, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld).




     Section 7.10. Tax Sharing Agreements (a) Any Tax sharing agreement or arrangement between the Sellers or any of their Affiliates
(other than the Companies and the Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and any of the Companies and the
Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall have been terminated, and all payments thereunder settled,
immediately prior to the Closing and the Companies and the Subsidiaries will have no further
obligations under the agreements.



     Section 7.11. Miscellaneous. (a) For Tax purposes, the parties agree to treat all payments made under this Article VII,
under any other indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement, and for any breaches of
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, as adjustments to the Purchase Price (except
to the extent attributable to interest).



          (b) This Article VII shall be the sole provision governing indemnities for Taxes under this
Agreement.




          (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and
agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Article VII shall survive the Closing and shall
remain in full force until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to
each taxing jurisdiction of any Company or any Subsidiary for the Taxes in question (taking into
account any extensions or waivers thereof). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, the representations and warranties in Section 3.16(j) and (k) shall survive the Closing
and shall remain in full force (i) until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations
for the Taxes against which such losses and credits have been used or (ii) in the event that such
losses and credits have not been used, until they have expired. If written notice of a claim has
been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then the
relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been
finally resolved.

     Section 9.04. Limits on Indemnification. (a) No claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against an Indemnifying Party
for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written
notice of such claim or action is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action on or prior to the
date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or action is
based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.01, irrespective of whether the subject matter
of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such date.



          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) an Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section
9.03 (other than clause (iii) thereof), unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable
Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds on a cumulative basis
an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price; (ii) no Losses may be claimed under
Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 by any Indemnified Party or shall be reimbursable by or shall be
included in calculating the aggregate Losses set forth in clause (i) above other than Losses in
excess of $10,000 resulting from any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of the same
facts, events or circumstances; (iii) the maximum amount of indemnifiable losses which may be
recorded from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in
Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 shall be an amount equal to $47,000,000; and (iv) neither party hereto
shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement for any
punitive or incidental damages.





46









 








          (c) For all purposes of this Article IX, “Losses” shall be net of any insurance or other
recoveries payable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts giving
rise to the right of indemnification, and shall be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax
cost when, as and if actually incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of
indemnity payments hereunder and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit when, as and
if actually realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the
accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or
Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity
payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified amount. The Indemnified Party
shall provide to the Indemnifying Party a statement setting forth the amount of
such Tax cost or Tax benefit, with reasonable detail as to the calculation of such amount, and
any information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to verify that the calculation of
the amount of such Tax cost or Tax benefit is consistent with the Indemnified Party’s relevant Tax
Returns. The Indemnified Party shall hold, and will cause its Affiliates and representatives to
hold, in confidence, all information so provided. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall
the Indemnified Party be required to undertake, modify or abandon any Tax planning measures or
produce its Tax Returns for inspection.




     Section 9.05. Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims. (a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter which an
Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under
this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and
method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in
respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.



          (b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any third party Action, audit, claim,
demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it which may give rise to a
claim for Loss under this Article IX, within 30 days of the receipt of such notice, the
Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided,
however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any
of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that such failure results in a
detriment to the Indemnifying Party and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other
Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and
through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party
within 15 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may
participate in such defense at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the
Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the
Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is



47









 






reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the
defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid,
any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such
payment or unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim or
unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party
is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.05 and proposes to
settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with
respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice
thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume
or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding.




     Section 9.06. Remedies. The Purchasers and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) following the Closing, the
indemnification provisions of Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedies of the Purchasers and the Sellers for any breach by the other party of the representations
and warranties in this Agreement and for any failure by the other
party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement, except that
if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or are
otherwise breached, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms thereof in
addition to any other remedy at law or equity, and (ii) anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein
shall give rise to any right on the part of the Purchasers or the Sellers, after the consummation
of the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, to rescind this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto shall take all reasonable steps to
mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected
to give rise to any Losses.



     Section 9.07. Tax Matters. Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of
the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be solely governed by
Article VII and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article IX.

     Section 10.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:



          (a) by either the Sellers or the Purchasers if the Closing shall not have occurred by
September 30, 2007; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 10.01(a) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under
this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing
to occur on or prior to such date;




          (b) by either the Purchasers or the Sellers in the event that any Governmental Order
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall have become final and nonappealable;




          (c) by the Sellers if the Purchasers shall have breached any of their representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the
failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured
within 30 days after the giving of written notice by the Sellers to the Purchasers specifying such
breach;




          (d) by the Purchasers if the Sellers shall have breached any of their representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement which would give rise to the
failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured
within 30 days after the giving of written notice by the Purchasers to the Sellers specifying such
breach; or




          (e) by the mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Purchasers.




     Section 10.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.01, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party hereto
after such termination except (a) as set forth in Section 5.03 and Article XI and (b) that
nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring
prior to such termination.

     Section 11.03. Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public
announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party
unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this
Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public
announcement or communication.



     Section 11.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
either party hereto. 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 by this Agreement are consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.



     Section 11.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings,
both written and oral, between the Sellers and the Purchasers with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof.



     Section 11.06. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express
written consent of the Sellers and the Purchasers (which consent may be granted or withheld in the
sole discretion of the Sellers or the Purchasers), as the case may be. Any attempted assignment in
violation of this Section 11.06 shall be void.



     Section 11.07. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed
by, or on behalf of, the Sellers and the Purchasers or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section
11.08.



     Section 11.08. Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of any other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
warranties of another party contained herein or in any document delivered by another party pursuant
hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of another party or conditions to such
party’s obligations contained herein. 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 hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
any of such rights.



     Section 11.09. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied
(including the provisions of Article IX relating to indemnified parties), is intended to or shall
confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this
Agreement.

and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder
shall be made in United States dollars.

State of Delaware. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall
be heard and determined in state or Federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and the
parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action
or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
such action or proceeding. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process
in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to such party at its
address specified in Section 11.02. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 11.11 shall affect the right of
any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. The consents to
jurisdiction set forth in this Section 11.11 shall not constitute
general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for
any purpose except as provided in this Section 11.11 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on
any Person other than the parties.



     Section 11.12. 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. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT,
AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION
11.12.



     Section 11.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one
or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement.

as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
