TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

(a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the boards of directors of Grifols and the Company;
(b) by either the Company or Grifols if the Closing shall not have occurred by November 20, 2013 (the Outside Date); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(c) by either the Company or Grifols if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an Order or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action) having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing of the consummation of the Transactions, which Order or other action is final and nonappealable;
(d) by Grifols, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such inaccuracy in the Companys representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company, prior to the Outside Date through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then Grifols may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) prior to 30 days following the receipt of written notice from Grifols to the Company of such breach.
48
9.2 Termination of Individual Purchasers. The Company may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Purchaser, by action or authorized by the board of directors of the Company, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of each applicable Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of such Purchaser shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that if such inaccuracy in such Purchasers representations and warranties or breach by such Purchaser is curable by such Purchaser prior to the Outside Date through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.2 prior to 30 days following the receipt of written notice from the Company to such Purchaser of such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the Companys exercise of its termination rights under this Section 9.2 would terminate the rights and obligations of the Company and the applicable Purchaser solely with respect to such Purchaser and shall have no effect on the rights and obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement.
9.3 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1 or 9.2 above shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party hereto. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (i) as set forth in Section 5.2(a), Section 5.9, this Section 9.3, Section 9.4 and Article X, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement.
