(b)           Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof by the Seller will violate or result in a breach of any term or provision of any agreement to which any Seller is bound or is a party, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under, or cause the acceleration of the maturity of any obligation of the Seller under any existing agreement or violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller or any  properties or assets of the Seller.


 


(c)           This Agreement has been duly and validly executed by the Seller, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by limitations, on the availability of equitable remedies.


 


(d)           The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against all liabilities incurred by Purchaser, directly or indirectly, including without limitation, all reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of or in connection with the purchase of the Seller’s respective Seller Shares set forth in this Agreement, except where fraud, intent to defraud or default of payment evolves on the part of Purchaser.


 


(e)           The Seller owns the Seller Shares free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances, claims of others, options, warrants, purchase rights, contracts, commitments, equities or other claims or demands of any kind (collectively, “Liens”), and upon delivery of the Seller Shares to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good, valid and marketable title thereto free and clear of all Liens.

No representation or warranty by the Seller contained in this Agreement, and no statement contained in any document, certificate or other instrument delivered or to be delivered by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will omit to state any material fact necessary, in light of the circumstances under which it was or will be made, in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

(d)           Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of his or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that the Purchaser may (i) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, and (ii) designate one or more of its affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, but no such assignment shall operate to release Purchaser or a successor from any obligation hereunder unless and only to the extent that Seller agrees in writing.


 


(e)           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.


 


(f)           Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.


 


(g)           Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by commercial delivery service, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or sent via facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) to the parties.


 


(h)           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.


 


(i)            Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Purchaser and the Seller or their respective representatives.

(l)            Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state or local statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. Nothing in the disclosure Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, however, unless the disclosure Schedules identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the disclosure Schedules or supplied in connection with the Purchaser’ due diligence review, shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself).


 


(m)          Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in Section 11(o) below), in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.


 


(n)           Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Nevada, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11(g) above. Nothing in this Section 11(n), however, shall affect the right of any Party to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.
