2.
Each party shall execute such other documents and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by another party hereto to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party acknowledges that the other parties are obligated to disclose and file a copy of this Agreement pursuant to U.S. securities laws and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the parties' ability to make such disclosures or filings.  All fees and expenses incurred by each party hereto in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the party incurring such fee or expense.  Each member of the Icahn Group shall provide to MENT an appropriate and complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 prior to the Settlement Date.

(a)
Each member of the Icahn Group has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement.  All action on the part of each member of the Icahn Group necessary for the execution of this Agreement and the performance of each member of the Icahn Group's obligations hereunder has been taken or will be taken prior to the Settlement Date.  This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each member of the Icahn Group, enforceable against each member of the Icahn Group in accordance with its terms.
(b)
Each member of the Icahn Group has good, valid and marketable title to all of the Shares listed opposite its name on Schedule A, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. The Icahn Group has the sole right to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares.
