and warranties made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement;

                           satisfy and discharge any of its covenants,
agreements, undertakings, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement or
under any of the documents and materials delivered by Buyer pursuant to this

                  (b) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any claim, demand,
action, or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under this
Section 8.2 of this Agreement and, if such claim, demand, action, or proceeding
is a third party claim, demand, action, or proceeding, Buyer will have the right
at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable
to Seller. Seller shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with
respect to any such third party claim, demand, action, or proceeding. In
connection with any such third party claim, demand, action, or proceeding, Buyer
and Seller shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to
relevant books and records in their possession. No such third party claim,
demand, action, or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent
of Seller and Buyer. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such third
party claim, demand, action, or proceeding and Seller refuses to consent to such
settlement, then: (i) Buyer shall be excused from, and Seller shall be solely
responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim, demand, action,
or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of Buyer relating to such third
party claim, demand, action, or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed
settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from Seller on such third party
claim, demand, action, or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed
settlement.

writing, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement may be abandoned at any time as follows: (a) by mutual written

in breach hereof) if any of the conditions set forth in Article 6 of this
Agreement shall not have been fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date; (c) by
Seller (provided that it is not otherwise in breach hereof) if any of the
conditions set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement shall not have been

pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, all further obligations of the parties under or
pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of either
party to the other, except for violation of Section 5.9 (cooperation), and
except that Buyer's obligations contained in Section 5.1(b) (confidentiality) of
this Agreement shall survive any such termination. If any of the conditions set
forth in Article 6 of this Agreement have not been satisfied, Buyer may
nevertheless elect to proceed with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, if any of the conditions set forth in
Article 7 of this Agreement have not been satisfied, Seller may nevertheless
elect to proceed with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

attended by individuals with decision-making authority regarding the dispute, to
attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute.

not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they will jointly
appoint a mutually acceptable neutral person not affiliated with either of the
