CVD agrees it will make no disclosure of the facts or the terms of this settlement of the Action until the filing of the judicially endorsed Stipulation with the Clerk of the Court, except as it may be required or advised to disclose same in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by law, rule or regulation, in advance of the filing of the judicially endorsed Stipulation.
7. Miscellaneous.

7.2 This Settlement Agreement may not be altered, changed, modified, amended or terminated orally, but only by a writing signed by the parties.
