4.   This letter agreement shall terminate, with respect to any entity in any Division, from and after the date on which all or a portion of the equity interests of such entity or any parent entity of such entity is issued to or sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to any person that is not controlled directly or indirectly by the Hart Group.

Termination shall not relieve any entity of any obligations or liabilities accruing prior to such termination.
     This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of laws of any other jurisdiction) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits itself and its property to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing.
