     Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, conveyance or transfer any of Action, Asset, Contract or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom as to which consent or approval to assignment, license, sublicense, lease, sublease, conveyance or transfer thereof or amendment thereof (including consents and approvals of Governmental Entities) is required but has not been obtained.

     6.11 Shared Contracts

          (a) With respect to Shared Contractual Liabilities pursuant to, under or relating to a given Shared Contract, such Shared Contractual Liabilities shall, unless otherwise allocated pursuant to this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, be allocated between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the relative proportions of total benefits under the Shared Contract that reasonably can be expected to be received (measured from the date of allocation over the remaining term of the Shared Contract) by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Buyer shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities arising out of or resulting from their (or their respective Affiliates’) breach of the relevant Shared Contract to which this Section 6.11 otherwise pertains.

          (b) The parties have determined that it is advisable that the Shared Contracts set forth in Schedule 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (“Mirrored Shared Contracts”) be separated into separate Contracts between the appropriate third party and either Seller with respect to the business of Seller and its Affiliates other than the Business or Buyer with respect to Business. Seller shall hereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mirrored Shared Contracts to be replaced with separate Contracts, preferably effective as of the Closing, that (i) have substantially the same terms as the Mirrored Shared Contracts being replaced and (ii) provide that Buyer shall receive such rights and obligations under a replacement Contract as are substantially similar to those Contract rights and obligations utilized in the Business; provided, however, that Seller gives no assurances that any such replacement Contracts will be obtained. The parties shall cooperate and provide each other with reasonable assistance in effecting such separation of the Mirrored Shared Contracts prior to the Closing and for a period of six months following the Closing (with no obligation on the part of any party to pay any costs or fees with respect to such assistance). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the principal right and obligation to negotiate the separation of Mirrored Shared Contracts with third party vendors, and Buyer shall participate directly in such negotiations and have the right to approve the replacement Contract to which Buyer will be a party after separation. From and after the Closing and for a period of six months following the Closing, Buyer shall have the principal right and obligation to negotiate the separation of Mirrored Shared Contracts with third party vendors, and Seller shall participate directly in such negotiations and have the right to approve the Contract to which Seller will be a party after separation. Buyer shall bear 100% of the costs of the third party vendors’ fees or other charges arising from or related to the separation of the Mirrored Shared Contracts from and after the date the Closing until the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

          (c) If the parties are not able to effect the separation of a Mirrored Shared Contract effective as of the Closing, then, until any such Mirrored Shared Contract is separated, to the extent permissible under Law and under the terms of such Mirrored Shared Contract, each of the parties shall (i) assume and perform the Liabilities and obligations under such Mirrored Shared Contract relating to its respective business or that of its Affiliates (and shall promptly reimburse the other parties for any expenses relating thereto incurred by any other party or its Affiliates), allocated in accordance with Section 6.11(a), (ii) hold in trust for the benefit of the other parties, and shall promptly forward to the other parties, any monies or other benefits received pursuant to such Mirrored Shared Contract relating to the respective businesses of the other parties (or their respective Affiliates) and (iii) endeavor to institute alternative arrangements intended to put the parties in substantially the same economic and operational position as if such Mirrored Shared Contract were separated; provided, however, that, if the parties are not able to effect the separation of any Mirrored Shared Contract within six months after the Closing, then Seller shall have no further obligation to Buyer or its Affiliates with respect thereto and may freely terminate such Mirrored Shared Contract; and provided, further, that any amounts owed by one Party (the “Payor Party”) to the other Party (the “Payee Party”) pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(i) may be satisfied at the Payor Party’s option by setting off such amounts against any amounts owed to it from the Payee Party pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(i).

     6.12 Ancillary Agreements

     From and after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate and agree to the form and substance of commercially reasonable Ancillary Agreements, except the Non-Competition Agreement the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.7(a)(x).

          (c) The operation or ownership of the Business or the Acquired Assets, or any act or omission of Buyer, after the Closing Date;

          (d) The failure of Buyer to pay any sales, use or transfer Taxes as required by Section 2.9; and

          (e) The Assumed Liabilities.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the remedies provided for in this ARTICLE 8 shall constitute Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for any claims made in connection with this Agreement or Seller Losses, except for the actual fraud of Buyer.

     8.4 Claims for Indemnification

     Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim, provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation hereunder to the extent such failure does not prejudice the Indemnifying Party (it being agreed that the inability to defend a claim which gives rise to any obligation to pay any monetary amount of any kind shall be considered to prejudice such Indemnifying Party). In the event of any claim or demand asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party upon which the Indemnified Party may claim indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such indemnification claim from the Indemnified Party indicating whether the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of such claim or demand. Notwithstanding such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense, by written notice given to the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days from the date of the Indemnifying Party’s notice, provided that such participation shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or different defenses are available to the Indemnified Party, in which case the cost of such participation

(including attorneys fees for counsel selected by the Indemnified Party) shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and the Indemnified Party does not participate, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right fully to control and to settle the Action. If the Indemnified Party elects to participate in such defense, the parties shall cooperate in the defense of the Action, and shall not settle the same without the consent of each, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to do so (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), and may settle the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

     8.5 Limitations on Indemnification

          (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification under Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.3(a) and 8.3(b) shall be subject to the following provisions:

          (i) No indemnification by Seller shall be payable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) unless the total of all claims for indemnification pursuant to such Section 8.2(a) shall collectively exceed US$100,000 in the aggregate and no indemnification by Buyer shall be payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a) unless the total of all claims for indemnification pursuant to such Section 8.3(a) shall exceed US$100,000 in the aggregate, whereupon only the amount of such claims in excess of the foregoing threshold amount shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof;

          (ii) No claim for indemnification shall be made pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.3(a), or 8.3(b) after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, except claims arising pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.5, 4.11, 5.1 and 5.2.

          (b) All amounts to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 shall be net of (i) any insurance coverage of the Indemnified Party (whether or not actually paid) with respect thereto, (ii) any tax benefits realized or realizable by the Indemnified Party and (iii) net of any setoff, including any indemnification claim the Indemnifying Party has against the Indemnified Party without regard to whether the indemnification claim being set off is less than the minimum amount required by Section 8.5(a)(i).

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.5 to the effect that certain obligations of an Indemnifying Party’s shall expire at specified times set forth herein, such obligations shall continue (i) as to any matter as to which a claim is submitted in writing to the Indemnifying Party prior to such specified time and identified as a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) as to any matter that is based upon fraud by the Indemnifying Party, until such time as such claims and matters are discovered and resolved.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, claims based upon the fraud of any party to this Agreement shall not be limited by this ARTICLE 8 or any other provision of this Agreement.

     8.6 Escrow Account

          (a) Prior to the Closing, the parties shall enter into an Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer will deposit the Holdback Amount in the Escrow Account in lieu of paying such portion of the Purchase Price to Seller in accordance with Section 2.4. The Holdback Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof and shall be available for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of the Seller set forth in ARTICLE 8 and the Escrow Agreement.

          (b) If (i) Seller shall not have objected to the amount claimed by Buyer for indemnification with respect to any Buyer Loss in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement or (ii) Seller shall have delivered notice of its disagreement as to the amount of any indemnification requested by Buyer and either (A) Seller and Buyer shall have, subsequent to the giving of such notice, mutually agreed that Seller is obligated to indemnify the applicable Buyer Indemnitees for a specified amount and shall have so jointly notified the Escrow Agent or (B) a final award of arbitrators in accordance with Section 10.5 shall have been rendered by the court having jurisdiction over the matters relating to such claim by Buyer for indemnification from Sellers and the Escrow Agent shall have received, in the case of clause (A) above, written instructions from Seller and Buyer or, in the case of clause (B) above, a copy of the final award of arbitrators in accordance with Section 10.5, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer from the Escrow Account any amount determined to be owed to Buyer under Section 2.8 or to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee under this ARTICLE 8 in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Should the amount to be delivered exceed the remaining balance of the Holdback Amount, then the Escrow Agent shall deliver the full remaining balance of the Holdback Amount to the Buyer or other Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, and Seller shall deliver the remaining amount due. Upon distribution of funds from the Escrow Account to either party, Seller shall make a payment to Buyer equal to 10% a.p.r. interest on the amount distributed for the period from the Closing Date through the date of such distribution, to reimburse Buyer’s cost of capital with respect to the Holdback Amount.

ARTICLE 9
TERMINATION

     9.1 Termination

     This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

          (a) by the written agreement of each Buyer and Seller;

          (b) by Buyer or Seller by written notice to the other if the Closing has not occurred by 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on September 30,, 2006, or such later date as Buyer and Seller shall agree upon if the Closing will not have occurred by reason of the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2, in the case of Buyer, or Section 7.1, in the case of Seller, to be satisfied (unless such failure is the result of one or more breaches or violations of, or inaccuracy in, any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of this Agreement by the terminating party);

          (c) by Buyer by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Closing in the event Seller has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified Seller of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of seven days after the notice of breach; and

          (d) by Seller by giving written notice to Buyer at any time prior to the Closing in the event Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Seller has notified Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of seven days after the notice of breach.

     9.2 Effect of Termination

     In the event that this Agreement is terminated, each of the parties shall return (without retaining copies) all documents and papers containing confidential information (including without limitation technical information, customer lists, financial data and any similar information developed by another party pursuant to this Agreement or in contemplation of the Transactions) and shall neither use nor disclose any such information, except to the extent that such information is available to the public or is otherwise rightfully obtained. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this ARTICLE 9, none of the parties shall have any obligation to the other parties whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Transactions or the expenses any of them incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such Transactions, except as provided in Section 9.3.

     9.3 Failure to Close Due to Breach

     If either party fails to materially comply with or perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed under this Agreement, is otherwise in material default hereunder or is in material breach of any representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE 4 or ARTICLE 5 (the “Defaulting Party”) such that the Transactions are not consummated and the other party is not in material default hereunder (the “Non-Defaulting Party”), then the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Defaulting Party. Promptly following such termination, the Defaulting Party shall pay the Non-Defaulting Party the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$100,000), as agreed, liquidated, final damages and not as a penalty, it being agreed that the Non-Defaulting Party’s actual damages in the event of such default may be difficult or impossible to ascertain and that the amount of liquidated damages to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.3 is a fair and reasonable approximation of the Non-Defaulting Party’s losses, costs and expenses. Seller and Buyer waive all other remedies they may have at law or in equity for any breach or default of this Agreement resulting in a failure to consummate the Transactions.
