AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the Recitals and the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Transfer of Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and except for the Excluded Assets (as defined in section 2), Seller agrees to sell and deliver to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller as of the Closing Date (as defined in section 6 below) only the assets owned, utilized, or held for use by Seller that are directly and exclusively related to the CapMed Business (such assets, the Purchased Assets). The Purchased Assets shall include, without limitation, the following:

All of Sellers rights, title and interest in and to all goodwill, patents, licenses, trade names, domain names, assumed names, trade dress, business identifiers, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, applications and registrations for the foregoing, trade secrets, confidential information, processes, systems, techniques, know-how, development plans, other intellectual property, employee agreements and covenants respecting intellectual property, causes of action (including all claims for infringement), uniform resource locators (including the uniform resource locators listed on Schedule 1.01), and all other intangible assets of Seller, in each case which are necessary for the operation of the CapMed Business (the Intangible Assets), including the Intangible Assets listed on Schedule 1.01.

1.07 Non-Assignable Assets. In those cases where any of the Purchased Assets are not by their terms assignable or which require the consent of a third party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall, after the Closing Date, use its reasonable best efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller, to obtain all consents and waivers and to effect assignments and transfers necessary to convey such Purchased Assets to Purchaser. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any of the Purchased Assets if any actual or attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of any party thereto other than Seller, would (i) constitute a breach thereof or otherwise not be permitted under applicable law, (ii) increase any obligation of Seller thereunder, or (iii) create any additional material obligation of Seller thereunder (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be referred to as the Non-Assignable Assets). If any such Non-Assignable Assets are not able to be assigned or transferred, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits of any such Non-Assignable Assets. If Purchaser receives the benefit of any such Non-Assignable Asset, Purchaser shall perform and discharge on behalf of Seller all of Sellers liabilities, obligations or commitments, if any, thereunder relating to the period following the Closing Date, in accordance with the provisions thereof other than those arising by reason of a breach or nonperformance by Seller with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset.

4. Purchase Price.
4.01 Amount. In consideration of Sellers sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Assets and the performance by it of all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and pay Seller as follows:
(a) Closing Payment. At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay Seller the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in cash via wire transfer to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller (the Closing Payment).
(b) Earnout. If Purchaser or any of Purchasers affiliates enter into any contract(s) with any of the prospects set forth on Schedule 4.01(b) (the CapMed Prospects) during the first six months of 2009 (each a First Earnout Contract) then, subject to section 4.01(c), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to 25% of the gross revenues recognized by Purchaser during any period ending on or prior to December 31, 2010 from the sale pursuant to such First Earnout Contract of CapMed Products, as defined below (the First Earnout). If Purchaser or any of Purchasers affiliates enter into any contract(s) with any of the CapMed Prospects during the period commencing on July 1, 2009 and ending on December 31, 2010 (each a Second Earnout Contract) then, subject to section 4.01(c), Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to 15% of the gross revenues recognized by Purchaser on or prior to December 31, 2010 from the sale pursuant to such Second Earnout Contract of CapMed Products (the Second Earnout and together with the First Earnout, the Earnout).

Not later than January 25 of 2010 and 2011, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the Earnout Statement) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchasers determination of the Earnout for the calendar year just ended.

(d) Sellers Audit. During the 30-calendar day period following receipt of an Earnout Statement, Seller, or its designated agents, shall have the right at any time during normal business hours and with prior notice to Purchaser to inspect that portion of Purchasers books and records applicable to the calculation of the Earnout for purposes of
7
verifying the accuracy of the Earnout determination (the Sellers Audit). Any and all expenses relating to the Sellers Audit shall be borne solely and exclusively by Seller.
(e) Disputes. If Seller delivers to Purchaser, within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Earnout Statement, written notice disagreeing with the determination of the Earnout Statement (with the failure of Seller to deliver such written notice within the foregoing 30-calendar day period being deemed to be conclusive acceptance of such calculations), Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to resolve such dispute and if they have not done so within thirty (30) calendar days after Seller provides notice of such dispute then the parties agree that they shall jointly refer such dispute to Grant Thornton, LLP or such other accounting firm mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller (the Accountant). Such written notice of disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of Sellers disagreement with the calculation of the Earnout Statement and Sellers calculation of what it believes is the Earnout Statement. The Accountant shall, acting as a certified public accountant and not as an arbitrator, issue a report setting forth its determination of the disputed item(s) of the Earnout Statement, within sixty (60) calendar days after such dispute is referred to it, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. Purchaser and Seller shall provide the Accountant with all financial information concerning the CapMed Business and the relevant contracts that is reasonably requested by the Accountant for purposes of making the determination required by this Section 4.01(e). This provision for dispute resolution shall, notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, be specifically enforceable by the parties. Any and all expenses relating to the engagement of, and the calculation of the Earnout Statement by, the Accountants shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Seller). The portion of such expenses payable by Seller may be deducted from any Earnout due to Seller. In the event of a dispute pursuant to this section 4.01(e), the Earnout shall be paid within five (5) business days after the earlier of (i) the joint written agreement of Purchaser and Seller, or (ii) the issuance of the Accountants report pursuant to this section 4.01(e).
4.02 Purchase Price. The Closing Payment together with the Earnout (if any) shall be called the Purchase Price.
4.03 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be assigned and allocated to the Purchased Assets in the manner mutually agreed upon by the parties post-Closing and in accordance with the priority of allocation described on Schedule 4.03. The parties shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to sustain such allocation in any subsequent tax audit or tax dispute.
4.04 Payments of Transfer Tax. All taxes imposed, arising out of, in connection with or attributable to the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser on or prior to Closing shall be borne by Seller, including, without limitation, all sales, use, value added, stamp, gross receipts, registration, transfer, excise, conveyance and other similar taxes.

Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless with respect to any such tax which might be levied on or collected from Purchaser.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not Seller relied thereon or had knowledge thereof, including schedules, certificates, and documents delivered pursuant hereto;
(b) any failure of Purchaser to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; or

The obligations of Purchaser to indemnify and hold Seller harmless as described herein shall survive Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in section 14.03.
14.02 Procedures.
(a) Seller shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any written claim, demand, assessment, action, suit or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this section 14 applies. If the document evidencing such claim or demand is a court pleading, Seller shall give such notice, including a copy of such pleading, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such pleading, otherwise, Seller shall give such notice within thirty (30) days of the date it receives written notice of such claim. Failure to give timely notice of a matter which may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of Seller to collect such Losses from Purchaser so long as such failure to so notify does not materially adversely affect Purchasers ability to defend such Losses against a third party, and then only to the extent of such adverse affect.
(b) If Sellers request for indemnification arises from the claim of a third party, Purchaser may elect to assume control of the defense of any such claim, and any litigation resulting from such claim, by notice to Seller. Failure by Purchaser to so notify Seller of their election to defend a complaint by a third party within five (5) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Purchaser not to respond to such complaint and a waiver by Purchaser of any right to respond to such complaint, and within twenty (20) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Purchaser not to assume control of the defense of such claim or action and a waiver by Purchaser of any right to defend such claim or action. If Purchaser timely notifies Seller that Purchaser elects to assume control of the defense of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and Purchaser shall hold
23
Seller, to the extent provided in this section 14, harmless from and against all Losses arising out of or resulting from any settlement approved by Purchaser or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding Purchasers assumption of the defense of such third-party claim or demand, Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third-party claim or demand at their own expense. Purchaser shall not, in the defense of such claim or litigation, consent to entry of any judgment against Seller or enter into any settlement involving Seller, which either (i) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages which will be satisfied by Purchaser, or (ii) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant releases Seller from all liability with respect thereto, except with the written consent of Seller. Seller shall furnish Purchaser in reasonable detail all information Seller may have with respect to any such third-party claim and shall make available to Purchaser and its representatives all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist Purchaser in the defense of such third-party claim.
(c) If Purchaser does not assume control of the defense of any such third-party claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Seller may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may reasonably deem appropriate, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller from any Losses indemnifiable under section 14.01 incurred in connection therewith.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if (y) defendants in any action include Seller and Purchaser, and if Seller shall have been advised by counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to Seller, or (z) if a conflict of interest exists between Seller and Purchaser with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, then in either case, Seller shall have the right to employ their own counsel in such action, and in such case (or in the event that the Purchaser does not timely assume the defense of such matter as provided above), the reasonable fees and expenses of Sellers counsel shall be borne by the Purchaser and shall be paid by the Purchaser from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefor.
14.03 Survival of Indemnification. Except in the case of fraud, no demand or claim for indemnification pursuant to section 14.01(a) shall be made after March 31, 2010.
14.04 Indemnification Threshold. No indemnification shall be payable by Purchaser pursuant to section 14.01(a):
(a) unless the aggregate Losses incurred by Seller exceeds FortyThousand and 00/100 dollars ($40,000) (the Seller Threshold), provided, that if such aggregate Losses exceed the Seller Threshold, indemnification for all Losses incurred shall be fully payable from the first dollar of Losses without any setoff or deductible; or
(b) in excess of one-half of the Closing Payment.
14.05 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided by this section 14 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by Seller of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against Purchaser.
24
14.06 Materiality. For the purposes of calculating Losses under this section 14 for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, any qualification contained in such representation, warranty or covenant using words material, materially or material adverse effect shall be disregarded and deemed not to include such words.
15. Indemnification by Seller.
15.01 Indemnification. Notwithstanding the Closing, and regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of Purchaser or any information or knowledge Purchaser may have, Seller and its successors hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser, and each of Purchasers subsidiaries, assignees, shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (Purchaser and such persons, collectively, Purchasers Indemnified Persons) harmless from and against any Losses imposed on or incurred by Purchasers Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting from or relating to:
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller pursuant to this Agreement in any respect, whether or not Purchasers Indemnified Persons relied thereon or had knowledge thereof, including schedules, certificates, and documents delivered pursuant hereto;
(b) any failure of Seller to duly perform or observe any term, provision, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, any documents contemplated by this Agreement, or any agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or
(c) any Excluded Liability.
The obligations of Seller and its successors to indemnify, defend, and hold Purchasers Indemnified Persons harmless as described herein shall survive Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as provided in section 15.03.
15.02 Procedures.
(a) Purchasers Indemnified Persons shall give Seller prompt notice of any written claim, demand, assessment, action, suit or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this section 15 applies. If the document evidencing such claim or demand is a court pleading, Purchaser shall give such notice, including a copy of such pleading, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such pleading, otherwise, Purchaser shall give such notice within thirty (30) days of the date it receives written notice of such claim. Failure to give timely notice of a matter which may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of Purchasers Indemnified Persons to collect such Losses from Seller so long as such failure to so notify does not materially adversely affect Sellers ability to defend such Losses against a third party, and then only to the extent of such adverse affect.
(b) If Purchasers Indemnified Persons request for indemnification arises from the claim of a third party, Seller may elect to assume control of the defense of any
25
such claim, and any litigation resulting from such claim, by notice to Purchaser. Failure by Seller to so notify Purchasers Indemnified Persons of their election to defend a complaint by a third party within five (5) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Seller not to respond to such complaint and a waiver by Seller of any right to respond to such complaint, and within twenty (20) days after notice thereof shall be deemed an election by Seller not to assume control of the defense of such claim or action and a waiver by Seller of any right to defend such claim or action. If Seller timely notifies Purchaser that Seller elects to assume control of the defense of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Seller shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation resulting therefrom and Seller shall hold Purchasers Indemnified Persons, to the extent provided in this section 15, harmless from and against all Losses arising out of or resulting from any settlement approved by Seller or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding Sellers assumption of the defense of such third-party claim or demand, Purchasers Indemnified Persons shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third-party claim or demand at their own expense. Seller shall not, in the defense of such claim or litigation, consent to entry of any judgment against any of Purchasers Indemnified Persons or enter into any settlement, involving any of Purchasers Indemnified Persons, which either (a) grants the plaintiff or claimant any form of relief other than monetary damages which will be satisfied by Seller, or (b) fails to include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant releases Purchasers Indemnified Persons from all liability with respect thereto, except with the written consent of Purchasers Indemnified Persons. Purchasers Indemnified Persons shall furnish Seller in reasonable detail all information Purchasers Indemnified Persons may have with respect to any such third-party claim and shall make available to Seller and its representatives all records and other similar materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third-party claim and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist Seller in the defense of such third-party claim.
(c) If Seller does not assume control of the defense of any such third-party claim or litigation resulting therefrom, Purchasers Indemnified Persons may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as they may reasonably deem appropriate, and Seller shall indemnify Purchasers Indemnified Persons from any Losses indemnifiable under section 15.01 incurred in connection therewith.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if (y) defendants in any action include any of Purchasers Indemnified Persons and Seller, and if any of Purchasers Indemnified Persons shall have been advised by counsel that there may be material legal defenses available to such Purchasers Indemnified Person, or (z) if a conflict of interest exists between any Purchasers Indemnified Person and Seller with respect to such claim or the defense thereof, then in either case, such Purchasers Indemnified Persons shall have the right to employ their own counsel in such action, and in such case (or in the event that Seller does not timely assume the defense of such matter as provided above), the reasonable fees and expenses of Purchasers Indemnified Persons counsel shall be borne by Seller and shall be paid by Seller from time to time within twenty (20) days of receipt of appropriate invoices therefor.
15.03 Survival of Indemnification. Except in the case of fraud, no demand or claim for indemnification pursuant to section 15.01(a) shall be made after March 31, 2010, except as follows: (a) claims for indemnification for representations and warranties contained in
26
sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.06 may be made at any time; (b) claims for indemnification for representations and warranties contained in section 7.12 may be made up to the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and (c) claims for indemnification for representations and warranties contained in sections 7.10 may be brought at any time until the underlying tax obligation is barred by the applicable period of limitation under federal and state laws relating thereto (as such may be extended by waiver).
15.04 Indemnification Threshold. No indemnification shall be payable by Seller pursuant to section 15.01(a):
(a) unless the aggregate Losses incurred by all of Purchasers Indemnified Persons exceed Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000) (the Purchaser Threshold), provided, that if such aggregate Losses exceed the Purchaser Threshold, indemnification for all Losses incurred shall be fully payable from the first dollar of Losses without any setoff or deductible; and provided, further, that Losses arising out of a breach of any of sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.10, or 7.16 shall not be subject to the Purchaser Threshold; or
(b) in excess of one-half of the Closing Payment.
15.05 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided by this section 15 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by Purchasers Indemnified Persons of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against Seller.
15.06 Materiality. For the purposes of calculating Losses under this section 15 for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, any qualification contained in such representation, warranty or covenant using words material, materially or material adverse effect shall be disregarded and deemed not to include such words.
15.07 Set-Off. Purchaser shall be entitled to recover any Losses actually incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Persons, and for which any Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to be indemnified under this section 15 and for which any notice or procedures required under section 15.02(a) has been given or performed, by means of set off of any such Losses against any payments of any Earn Out payable pursuant to section 4.01(b) above.
16. Termination and Waiver.
16.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the date of Closing:
(a) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;
(b) by Purchaser (i) if there has been a violation or breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which has rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Purchaser impossible and such violation or breach has not been waived by Purchaser, or (ii) if there has been a failure of any of the conditions to Purchasers obligations set forth in section 13 hereof (unless such failure results
27
primarily from a material breach by Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement);
(c) by Seller (i) if there has been a violation or breach by Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which has rendered the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Seller impossible and such violation or breach has not been waived by Seller, or (ii) if there has been a failure of any of the conditions to Sellers obligations set forth in section 12 hereof (unless such failure results primarily from a breach by Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement);
(d) by Seller or by Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred on or before forty-five (45) days from the date of this Agreement unless extended by written agreement of the parties hereto; provided, that such right to terminate shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur by such date; or
(e) By either Seller or Purchaser if a governmental entity shall have issued an order or taken any action in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which order or other action is final and non-appealable.
16.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement as provided in section 16.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no obligation on the part of Purchaser or Seller, or their respective officers, directors or owners or affiliates; provided, however, that the provisions of sections 11.01, 11.02, this section 16.02 and section 17 shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section 16; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a party from liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
16.03 Remedies. Any party terminating this Agreement pursuant to section 16.01 shall have the right to recover damages sustained by such party as a result of any breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or fraud or willful misrepresentation; provided, however, that the party seeking relief is not in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement under circumstances which would have permitted the other party to terminate the Agreement under section 16.01.
16.04 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Purchaser or Seller may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. At any time on or after the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other
28
hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein.
17. Miscellaneous.
17.01 Amendment and Severability. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement of the parties hereto. If any provision, clause or part of this Agreement or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement, or the applications of each provision, clause or part under other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.
17.02 Waiver. The failure of Seller or Purchaser to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights granted hereunder or the future performance of any such term, covenant or condition. Moreover, Purchasers decision to close this transaction notwithstanding its constructive or actual knowledge of the breach by Seller of one or more of its representations, warranties or obligations hereunder shall not relieve Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such breach; in such case, Purchaser specifically is relying upon Sellers indemnification obligation, as well as the underlying representation, warranty or contractual obligation. All rights and remedies granted in this Agreement to Purchaser shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of all other rights and remedies that Purchaser may have.
17.03 Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be deemed given and sufficient if in writing, when personally delivered, or three days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by Registered or Certified mail, or when deposited with Federal Express, United Parcel Service, or Airborne Express for delivery by overnight mail, or when sent by facsimile actually received by the receiving facsimile machine, in the case of Seller, to:

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the written consent of the other.

17.05 Expenses.

17.06 Warranty Claims.
(a) Subject to section 15, in the event that any services provided by Seller to any customer directly related to the CapMed Business within 180 days of Closing are subject to a claim by a customer that such services were incorrect, in error, defective, inadequate, or in breach of any agreement between such customer and Seller, Purchaser may issue a credit or refund to such customer on account of such services, and Seller shall promptly refund any such amounts to Purchaser.
(b) In the event that any products that have been shipped or delivered by Seller with respect to the any aspect of the CapMed Business to customers prior to Closing
30
shall be returned to Seller or Purchaser because of defects or a breach of warranty by Seller or the manufacturer, Purchaser may, in its discretion, agree to repair or replace such product.
17.07 Specific Performance. In the event of any controversy concerning the rights or obligations under this Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may have.
17.08 Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin and the Federal laws of the United States without giving effect to any rule or provision thereof which would cause the application of the law of any other state. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising hereunder or related hereto for which Purchaser is the initial plaintiff shall be filed and maintained only in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising hereunder or related hereto for which Seller is the initial plaintiff shall be filed and maintained only in the Wisconsin Circuit Court located in Milwaukee County, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. In connection with the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to such exclusive jurisdiction and waives any claim of inconvenient forum.
17.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, and the signatures delivered by facsimile, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument and delivered in person. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall be binding for all purposes hereof.
17.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein which are hereby incorporated by reference and the other agreements executed simultaneously herewith) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations, written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except as explicitly set forth herein, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is meant to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
17.11 Post-Closing Matters. Seller shall execute such documents, and perform such other actions, as Purchaser may reasonably request after the Closing to further consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including executing any form required to be submitted to any state to reflect the transfer of any unemployment compensation account of Seller.
17.12 Captions. The captions included herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation hereof.
17.13 Construction. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter
31
(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. A disclosure in a disclosure schedule relates only to the section of the Agreement to which such disclosure schedule refers, and not to any other section of the Agreement, unless expressly so stated. Any description on any disclosure schedule of the matters to be disclosed thereon shall not be deemed to supersede or modify the matters required to be disclosed thereon pursuant to the terms of the relevant section of this Agreement. Each party having participated in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and having been represented by counsel of its choosing, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities herein be construed against any particular party. When a reference is made in this Agreement to sections, exhibits or schedules, such reference shall be to a section of or exhibit or schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and indexes contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words include, includes or including are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words without limitation.
