          (c) For all purposes of attributing or allocating Taxes between the parties pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), all personal property, ad valorem or other similar Taxes (not including income Taxes) levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the period subsequent to the Closing Date based on the relative number of days included in such taxable period through and including the Closing Date and the number of days included in such taxable period after the Closing Date.

Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. Purchaser is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Each of Purchaser and Parent (a) is duly qualified to conduct business and is in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, the operation of its assets or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed or in good standing would not be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the ability of Purchaser or Parent to perform its respective obligations hereunder or consummate the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof, and (b) has full power and authority required to own, lease and operate its assets and to carry on its business it is as now being conducted. Purchaser has delivered to Seller true and complete copies of its Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement (operating agreement).

The execution, delivery and performance by each of Purchaser and Parent of this Agreement and each of the other Purchaser Documents, and the consummation by each of Purchaser and Parent of the Contemplated Transactions (a) do not require the consent, waiver, approval, franchise or permit, license or authorization of, or any declaration or filing with, any Person or other Governmental Body, (b) do not conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or the certificate of formation or limited liability company operating agreement of Purchaser, (c) do not violate any provision of Law applicable to them, and (d) do not (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) conflict with or result in a breach or termination of, or constitute a default or give rise to a right of termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser or Parent pursuant to any mortgage, deed of trust, indenture or other agreement or instrument or any Law or Order or any other restriction of any kind or character to which Purchaser or Parent is a party or by which any of their respective assets or properties may be bound, the consequence of which violation, conflict, breach, termination or default referred to in this clause (d) would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the ability of Purchaser or Parent to perform their respective obligations hereunder or consummate the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms hereof.
     6.4 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement and each other Purchaser Document have been duly executed and delivered by each of Purchaser and Parent. This Agreement and each such other Purchaser Document constitute legal and valid obligations of each of Purchaser and Parent enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

There is no legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceeding by or before any Governmental Body pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Parent, threatened against Purchaser or Parent, nor to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Parent is there any pending investigation by any Governmental Body, which would give any third party the right to enjoin or rescind the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise prevent Purchaser or Parent from complying with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
     6.6 No Brokers or Finders. Neither Purchaser nor Parent has, and none of their respective officers, directors or employees have, employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or finder’s fee or commissions or similar payment in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

Parent unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of all obligations, accrued and executory, to which Purchaser is obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 7.6 shall survive until all obligations under Purchaser Note #1, Purchaser Note #2, Section 3.2 and Section 8.1 hereof are satisfied or have expired.
     7.7 Continued Existence of Seller.

-41-


 

Execution Version
          (a) From and after the date hereof, Seller agrees that it shall maintain its limited liability company existence for a period at least as long as the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the Closing, or (b) payment in full of Purchaser Note #1.
          (b) Seller hereby also agrees that in the event that at the direction of its board of managers or Seller’s members, Seller terminates its limited liability company existence pursuant to Section 7.7(a), but prior to the receipt of all potential Contingent Consideration payable pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, Seller shall designate a representative or agent (“Member’s Representative”), which Member’s Representative shall be primarily responsible for distributing all Contingent Consideration to Seller’s Members. The intent of the foregoing is that, in the event that after the Closing, Seller dissolves and liquidates all remaining assets, Purchaser shall not be obligated to make individual payments of Contingent Consideration to Seller’s Members, but rather, shall only be obligated to make payments of Contingent Consideration to Member’s Representative.
     7.8 Note Distribution. Seller shall not distribute either of Purchaser Note #1 or Purchaser Note #2 for the time period required under Rule 144(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Thereafter, Seller shall give Purchaser and Parent ten (10) business day’s notice of any planned distribution, in whole or part, of Purchaser Note #1 or Purchaser Note #2, with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the intended distributee(s). As a condition precedent to Seller’s ability under this Agreement to make such distributions, each distributee shall execute and deliver to Purchaser and Parent a Joinder Agreement acknowledging and agreeing (i) to all of Seller’s obligations pursuant to Article 8 of this Agreement, (ii) that payments made under Purchaser Note #1 and Purchaser Note #2 are subject to certain rights of Purchaser and Parent under this Agreement, including without limitation a right of set-off (with respect to Purchaser Note #1 only) pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, and (iii) that all payments of principal and interest following such distribution shall be made by Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, directly to Seller, as payment agent for Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be.
8. INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS.
     8.1 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations of Section 8.2,
          (a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser, Parent and their Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as the case may be (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all liabilities, obligations, demands, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, causes of action, assessments, judgments, losses, costs, damages, deficiencies, Taxes, fines or expenses (whether or not arising out of third party claims), including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable amounts paid to any third party pursuant to any investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”), which any Purchaser Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from or arising out of:

               (ii) any breach of any covenant on the part of Seller under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Seller to Purchaser and/or Parent;
               (iii) any claim for payment of fees and/or expenses as a broker or finder in connection with the origin, negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement based upon any alleged agreement between the claimant and Seller, or any of its Affiliates;
               (iv) any claim by Seller’s members including, without limitation, in connection with, arising out of or claiming as a basis for any suit, the Contemplated Transactions, or any approvals required thereby (but excluding any claims for payment by Purchaser or Parent for the Purchase Price or claims made pursuant to Section 8.1(b)); or
               (v) the Excluded Liabilities.
          (b) Indemnification by Purchaser and Parent. Purchaser and Parent, each on behalf of itself and its respective successors and assigns, jointly and severally hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as the case may be (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties as and when incurred for any and all Damages which any Seller Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from or arising out of:
               (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser or Parent under this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Purchaser or Parent to Seller;
               (ii) any breach of any covenant on the part of Purchaser or Parent under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents furnished by Purchaser or Parent to Seller, including failure to discharge, pay and perform the Assumed Liabilities; or
               (iii) any claim for payment of fees and/or expenses as a broker or finder in connection with the origin, negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement based upon any alleged agreement between the claimant and Purchaser or Parent or any Affiliate thereof; or
               (iv) any claims arising out of the ownership or operation of the Business after the Closing and any obligations arising post-Closing under the Assumed Contracts.
     8.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Limitations. The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller, Purchaser and Parent contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, subject to the limitations in this Section 8.2:

-43-


 

Execution Version
          (a) Time Limitations. No party shall have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant unless such party is given written notice in accordance with Section 9.6 asserting a claim with respect thereto and specifying the factual basis of the claim, the provisions of this Agreement that provide a right of indemnification, and the extent of the Damages in reasonable detail based on the information at the time available to the party seeking indemnification, on or before the Survival Date, except that (i) there shall be no time limit for any claim by Purchaser or Parent under Section 8.1(a), (A) for breach of the representations by Seller in Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.14(c)(i) with respect to title to the Purchased Assets (other than Seller Intellectual Property), organization and authority (the “Title/Organization/Authority Representations”), (B) with respect to any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Seller or (C) for claims arising under Section 8.1(a)(v) (“Excluded Liability Claims”), (ii) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(i) for any breach of any representation or warranty by Seller in Section 5.23 (Environmental Matters), Section 5.24 (Taxes), or under Section 8.1(a)(ii) for breach of any of the covenants of Seller in Section 3.4 (Tax Matters) (collectively, “Tax Claims”) or Section 5.19 (Seller Benefit Plans) may be made at any time until sixty (60) days following expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (iii) any claim under Section 5.15 (Intellectual Property) or under Section 5.14(c)(i) with respect to Seller Intellectual Property (together, “Intellectual Property Claims”) may be made at any time until three (3) years from the Closing Date, and (iv) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(ii) or 8.1(b)(ii) for breach of any covenant that by its terms survives the Closing shall survive in accordance with the terms of such covenant (collectively, “Post-Closing Covenant Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time limitations set forth in this paragraph 8.2(a) shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of (A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser or Parent, (B) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1, (C) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #2, (D) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, or (E) any claim under Section 8.1(b)(iii) or 8.1(b)(iv).
          (b) Dollar Limitations — Minimum. Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor Purchaser or Parent, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other (or to the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be) for indemnification under Section 8.1, unless and until the aggregate Damages incurred by such party exceeds $250,000 (the “Basket Amount”); provided, however, that in the event that such Damages exceed the Basket Amount Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser and Parent, on the other hand, as the case may be, shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8 shall, fully indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, for all Damages incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, from dollar one (1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket Amount shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of (i) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Seller, Purchaser or Parent, (ii) any breach of any Title/Organization/Authority Representations, (iii) any Tax Claims, (iv) any Post-Closing Covenant Claim, (v) any Excluded Liabilities Claim, (vi) any amounts due pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1, (vii) any amounts due pursuant to Purchaser Note #2, (viii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, (ix) any breach of the representations of Purchaser or Parent in Sections 6.1 or 6.2, or (x) any claim under Section 8.1(a)(iii) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) (the “Basket Exceptions”).
          (c) Dollar Limitations – Maximum

-44-


 

Execution Version
               (i) Subject to Section 8.2(b), the maximum aggregate liability of Seller to Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, including but not limited to liability under Section 8.1(a), shall be a dollar amount equal to any amounts remaining pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1 taken in inverse order of payment of the note (the “Purchaser Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of (A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Seller, (B) any breach of any of the Title/Organization/Authority Representations, (C) any Tax Claims, (D) any claim under Sections 8.1(a)(iii) or (iv).
               (ii) Subject to Section 8.2(b), the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser and Parent to Seller and the other Seller Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, including but not limited to liability under Section 8.1(b), shall be an amount equal to any amounts remaining pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1 (the “Seller Indemnification Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Damages arising as a result of (A) any intentional misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser or Parent, (B) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #1, (C) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to the Purchaser Note #2, (D) any amounts due to Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, or (E) any claim under Section 8.1(b)(iii) or 8.1(b)(iv).
     8.3 Indemnification Procedures.
          (a) Third Party Claims. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing, any person or entity entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder as a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (including, but not limited to any Governmental Body) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, for which a claim is to be made by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice regarding such claim to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) Business Days after learning of such claim.
               (i) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 8.3(a) is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interests or similar reason, or (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 8.3 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

-45-


 

Execution Version
               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may have a material adverse effect on it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).
               (iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not elect to conduct the defense of the subject claim, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense in good faith and to compromise and settle the claim in good faith and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Damages paid or incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that no such compromise or settlement shall be effected without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnifying Party if, pursuant to or as a result of such compromise or settlement, (A) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnifying Party, or (B) if the Indemnifying Party is also named as a party to such claim, such compromise or settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities and obligations to the third party claimant (without limitation of the Indemnified Party’s rights against the Indemnifying Party hereunder) with respect to such claim, without prejudice.
               (iv) Subject to Section 8.3(a)(vi) below, in the event that the Indemnifying Party does elect to conduct the defense of the subject claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in (but not to control) the defense, said Indemnified Party to be assisted by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld if, pursuant to or as a result of such compromise or settlement, (A) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (B) would impose a material amount of liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
               (v) Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim or cease to defend against such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (A) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (B) such settlement or cessation would impose a material amount of liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

-46-


 

Execution Version
               (vi) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a)(ii), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any claim (A) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (B) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (C) that if unsuccessful, would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party, or (D) that imposes any material amount of liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still have all of its obligations hereunder provided that the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
               (vii) Subject to Section 8.3(a)(ii) and (vi), any final judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder to the extent otherwise within the scope of the indemnification provisions of this Article 8.
               (viii) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 8.3 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice.
          (b) Non-Third Party Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(a) and Section 9.6.
     8.4 Calculation of Damages. The amount of Damages payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 shall exclude any charge for the time of any employees of the Indemnified Party, and shall be reduced by (a) the amount of any insurance proceeds and third party payments or contributions received by the Indemnified Party from third party insurers or other third parties with respect to such Damages or the underlying factors with respect thereto, and (b) the net present value of any Tax benefits realized by the Indemnified Party to the extent the claim for which indemnification is sought gives rise to a deductible loss or expense. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price for Tax purposes. Each Indemnified Party shall take all actions reasonably necessary to mitigate the Damages for which it is eligible for indemnity pursuant to this Article 8.
     8.5 Payments. All claims for indemnification made hereunder by Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be satisfied through set-off and a corresponding reduction, in whole or in part, as the case may be, to the principal balance outstanding on Purchaser Note #1.

     8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, any claim or cause of action (whether such claim sounds in tort, contract or otherwise, and including statutory rights and remedies) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise in respect of the status, operations, condition or ownership of Seller or its business or properties on or prior to the Closing Date must be brought by either Purchaser (or Parent) or Seller in accordance with the provisions and applicable limitations of this Article 8, which shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser, Seller and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns and all Persons who may claim any rights through Purchaser or Seller, for any such claim or cause of action, provided, that nothing herein shall limit the parties’ rights to seek remedies under Section 9.5. The provisions of this Article 8 were specifically bargained for and are reflected in the amounts payable to Seller in connection with the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Article 2.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
          (b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 9.3(b) CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS

-48-

AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9.3(b) WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
          (c) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, any proceeding relating to ancillary measures in aid of arbitration, provisional remedies and interim relief, or any proceeding to enforce any arbitral decision or award.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.3, the corresponding Governing Law provisions of Purchaser Note #1 and Purchaser Note #2 and the related Guaranty Agreement and Security Agreement shall govern with respect to those documents.
          (e) Each of the parties hereto hereby expressly waives any and all objections such party may have to venue, including, without limitation, the inconvenience of such forum, in any of such courts.

All references in this Agreement to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits are to sections, schedules and exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.
     9.5 Specific Performance; Prompt Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that irreparable damage would result if this Agreement and the Transaction Documents were not specifically enforced, and they therefore consent that the parties hereto may exercise their rights and obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents by a decree of specific performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
