If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire transfer by Buyer to an account specified by Seller. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Adjustment Amount from the Escrow Account to Buyer by wire transfer to an account specified by Buyer.

Section 2.9 Adjustment Procedure

(a) “Working Capital” as of a given date shall mean the amount calculated by subtracting the current liabilities of Seller included in the Assumed Liabilities as of that date from the current assets of Seller included in the Assets as of that date. The Working Capital of Seller as of the date of the Interim Balance Sheet (the “Interim Working Capital”) was four million, two hundred, ten thousand dollars ($4,210,000.00). The methodology used in calculating the Interim Working Capital is set forth in Part 2.9(a).

(b) Buyer shall prepare a balance sheet of Seller as of the Closing Date (“Closing Balance Sheet”) on the same basis and applying the same accounting principles, policies, and practices that were used in preparing the Interim Balance Sheet. Buyer shall then determine the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”) based upon the Closing Balance Sheet and using the same methodology as was used to calculate the Interim Working Capital; provided, however, that any write down of an Asset, previously approved and consented to in writing by Buyer, shall not be included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital. Buyer shall deliver the Closing Balance Sheet and its determination of the Closing Working Capital to Seller within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

(c) If within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital calculation, Seller has not given Buyer written notice of its objection as to the Closing Working Capital calculation (which notice shall state the basis of Seller’s objection), then the Closing Working Capital calculated by Buyer shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and be used in computing the Adjustment Amount.

(d) If Seller duly gives Buyer such notice of objection, and if Seller and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital within fifteen (15) days of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s objection notice, Seller and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to Hill, Barth & King, LLP, independent public accountants (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution applying the principles, policies, and practices referred to in Section 2.9(b). If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Buyer within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital; and (iii) Seller and Buyer will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants for such determination.

Section 3.8 Accounts Receivable

All Accounts Receivable associated with the Business that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the accounting Records of Seller as of the Closing Date represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed by Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business. Except to the extent paid prior to the Closing Date, such Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible, net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet or on the Closing Balance Sheet (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve on the Closing Balance Sheet, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet than the reserve reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected thereon, and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging). Except as set forth on the Disclosure Letter and subject to such reserves, each of such Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any setoff, within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable.

Buyer or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Buyer or an employee and Legal Requirements). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer to terminate, reassign, promote, or demote any of the Hired Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation, or terms or conditions of employment of such employees.

	(i)		Seller shall be responsible for (A) the payment of all wages and other remuneration, including pro rata bonus payments and all vacation pay earned prior to the Closing Date, due to Active Employees with respect to their services as employees of Seller through the close of business on the Closing Date (or thereafter if they remain Active Employees of Seller after the Closing Date); (B) the payment of any required termination or severance payments; and (C) any and all payments to employees required under the WARN Act.

	(ii)		Seller shall be liable for any claims made or incurred by Active Employees and their beneficiaries through the Closing Date (or thereafter if they remain Active Employees of Seller after the Closing Date) under the Employee Plans. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a charge will be deemed incurred, in the case of hospital, medical, or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the charge are performed and, in the case of other benefits (such as disability or life insurance), when an event has occurred or when a condition has been diagnosed that entitles the Active Employee to the benefit.

	(iii)		After the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for providing contribution coverage required under COBRA to all former employees of Seller who terminated employment on or before the Closing Date or who otherwise constitute a “M&A qualified beneficiary” under Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

	(iv)		All Hired Employees who are participants in Seller’s Employee Plans shall retain their accrued benefits, if any under Seller’s Employee Plans (e.g., retirement plans), as of the Closing Date, and Seller (or Seller’s Employee Plans) shall retain sole liability for the payment of such benefits as and when such Hired Employees become eligible therefor under such plans. All Hired Employees shall become fully vested in their accrued benefits under Seller’s retirement plans as of the Closing Date, and Seller will so amend such plans if necessary to achieve this result. Seller shall cause the assets of each Employee Plan to equal or exceed the benefit liabilities of such Employee Plan on a plan-termination basis as of the Closing Date.

(d) No Transfer of Assets. Neither Seller nor its Related Persons will make any transfer of pension or other employee benefit plan assets to Buyer.

(e) General Employee Provisions.

	(i)		Seller and Buyer shall give any notices required by Legal Requirements and take whatever other actions with respect to the plans, programs, and policies described in this Section 10.1 as may be necessary to carry out the arrangements described in this Section 10.1.

	(ii)		Seller shall provide Buyer with such plan documents and summary plan descriptions, employee data, or other information as may be reasonably required to carry out the arrangements described in this Section 10.1.

	(iii)		If any of the arrangements described in this Section 10.1 are determined by the IRS or other Governmental Body to be prohibited by law, Seller and Buyer shall modify such arrangements to as closely as possible reflect their expressed intent and retain the allocation of economic benefits and burdens to the parties contemplated herein in a manner that is not prohibited by law.

	(iv)		Seller shall provide Buyer with completed I-9 forms and attachments with respect to all Hired Employees, except for such employees as Seller certifies in writing to Buyer are exempt from such requirement.

	(v)		Buyer shall not have any responsibility, liability, or obligation, whether to Hired Employees, Active Employees, former employees, their beneficiaries, or to any other Person, with respect to any compensation, benefits, employee benefit plans, practices, programs, arrangements, or agreements (including the establishment, operation, or termination thereof and the notification and provision of COBRA coverage extension) paid, payable, or maintained by Seller.

Section 10.2 Payment of All Taxes and Retained Liabilities

(a) Seller shall pay in a timely manner all Taxes resulting from or payable in connection with the sale of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of the Person on whom such Taxes are imposed by Legal Requirements.

(b) Seller shall pay, or make adequate provision for the payment, in full all of the Retained Liabilities and other Liabilities of Seller under this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Use of Seller’s Name and Marks

From and after the Closing, Seller will cease all use in all markets of all Marks, except that at Closing, Buyer will grant to Seller a non-assignable license to use the name “Chad” or “Chad

Therapeutics” solely (1) for purposes of labeling and marketing the Total O₂product line and (2) in connection with winding up its business. Under no circumstances will Chad sell or otherwise transfer the right to use the name “Chad” or “Chad Therapeutics” to any Third Party. As soon as practicable after Closing, Buyer will establish links on the www.chadtherapeutics.com website directing Seller’s shareholders and the customers interested in or purchasing the Total O₂Assets to a site or sites specified by Seller to Buyer in writing.

Section 10.4 Reports and Returns

Seller shall promptly after the Closing prepare and file all reports and returns required by Legal Requirements relating to the business of Seller as conducted using the Assets, to and including the Closing.

Section 10.5 Assistance In Proceedings

Seller will cooperate with Buyer and its counsel in the contest or defense of, and make available its personnel and provide any testimony and access to its books and Records in connection with, any Proceeding involving or relating to (a) any Contemplated Transaction, or (b) any action, activity, circumstance, condition, conduct, event, fact, failure to act, incident, occurrence, plan, practice, situation, status, or transaction on or before the Closing Date involving Seller or the Business.

Section 10.6 Noncompetition, Non-solicitation, and Non-disparagement

(a) Noncompetition. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to, or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in a business which competes with the Business or the business of marketing, distributing, and selling devices and products related to the oxygen therapy business (collectively, a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to continue to develop, manufacture, distribute, and market (i) products that are primarily designed for diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, some of which may have collateral therapeutic benefits for patients requiring supplemental oxygen, and (ii) products included within the Total O₂Assets.

(b) Non-solicitation. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly:

	(i)		cause, induce, or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant, or other business relation of Buyer to cease doing business with Buyer, to deal with any competitor of Buyer, or in any way interfere with its relationship with Buyer;

	(ii)		cause, induce, or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant, or other business relation of Seller on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to

cease doing business with Buyer, to deal with any competitor of Buyer, or in any way interfere with its relationship with Buyer; or

(iii)

hire, retain, or attempt to hire or retain any employee of Buyer or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any of its employees or independent contractors.

(c) Non-disparagement. After the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Related Persons not to, disparage Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives.

(d) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 10.6(a) through (c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the Governmental Body will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 10.6 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. Seller acknowledges that this Section 10.6 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Buyer’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Seller.

Section 10.7 Customer and Other Business Relationships

After the Closing, Seller will cooperate with Buyer, as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time, in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Seller existing prior to the Closing and relating to the Business, including relationships with lessors, employees, regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, suppliers, and others, and Seller will satisfy the Retained Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. Seller will refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to such Business. Neither Seller nor any of its Related Persons shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the Business, including disparaging the name or business of Buyer.

Section 10.8 Retention of and Access to Records

After the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain for a period consistent with Buyer’s record-retention policies and practices those Records of Seller delivered to Buyer. Buyer also shall provide Seller and Seller’s Representatives reasonable access thereto, during normal business hours and on at least three days’ prior written notice, to enable them to prepare financial statements or tax returns or deal with tax audits. After the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to Records that are Excluded Assets, during normal business hours and on at least three days’ prior written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice.

(h) any Employee Plan established or maintained by Seller; or

(i) any Retained Liabilities.

(d) the operation of the Business or any product or component thereof manufactured by or shipped, or any services provided by, Buyer, in whole or in part, after the Closing Date; or

(e) any Assumed Liabilities.

Section 11.4 Time Limitations

(a) If the Closing occurs, Seller will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing Date (other than those in Sections 2.1 and 2.4(b) and Articles 10 and 12,

as to which a claim may be made at any time) or (ii) a representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 3.6, 3.11, 3.13, 3.19, 3.24, 3.25, and 3.26, as to which a claim may be made at any time), only if on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer notifies Seller of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer.

(b) If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Breach of (i) a covenant or obligation to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing Date (other than those in Article 12, as to which a claim may be made at any time) or (ii) a representation or warranty (other than that set forth in Section 4.4, as to which a claim may be made at any time), only if on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller notifies Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller.

Section 11.5 Right of Setoff; Escrow

Upon notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buyer may give notice of a claim in such amount under the Escrow Agreement. Such notice of claim under the Escrow Agreement will not constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

Section 11.6 Third Party Claims

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 11.2 or 11.4 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.6(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying

Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s Consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Seller hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Buyer Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 11, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its Best Efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

Section 11.7 Other Claims

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after such notice.

Section 11.8 Exclusive Remedies

After the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Article XI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Persons for Damages arising out of, resulting from, or incurred in connection with the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made by the parties in this Agreement; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for Damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 12.1 Definition of Confidential Information

(a) As used in this Article 12, the term “Confidential Information” includes any and all of the following information of Seller or Buyer that has been or may hereafter be disclosed in any form, whether in writing, orally, electronically or otherwise, or otherwise made available by observation, inspection, or otherwise by either party (Buyer on the one hand or Seller on the other hand) or its Representatives (collectively, a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or its Representatives (collectively, a “Receiving Party”):

	(i)		all information that is a trade secret under applicable trade secret or other law;

	(ii)		all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions, and ideas, past, current, and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer hardware, Software, and database technologies, systems, structures, and architectures;

all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by the Receiving Party to the extent containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included in the foregoing.

(b) Any trade secrets of a Disclosing Party shall also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under applicable trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that a Disclosing Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Article 12, such information shall still be considered Confidential Information of that Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article 12 to the extent included within the definition. In the case of trade secrets, each of Buyer and Seller hereby waives any requirement that the other party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

Section 12.2 Restricted Use of Confidential Information

(a) Each Receiving Party acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and agrees that such Confidential Information (i) shall be kept confidential by the Receiving Party; (ii) shall not be used for any reason or purpose other than to evaluate and consummate the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) without limiting the foregoing, shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Person, except in each case as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or with the prior written consent Seller of an authorized representative of Seller with respect to Confidential Information (each, a “Seller Contact”) or an authorized representative of Buyer with respect to Confidential Information of Buyer (each, a “Buyer Contact”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other party only to its Representatives who require such material for the purpose of evaluating the Contemplated Transactions and are informed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the obligations of this Article 12 with respect to such information. Each of Buyer and Seller shall enforce the terms of this Article 12 as to its respective Representatives; take such action to the extent necessary to cause its Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article 12; and be responsible and liable for any breach of the provisions of this Article 12 by it or its Representatives.

(b) Unless and until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall maintain as confidential any Confidential Information (including for this purpose any information of Seller of the type referred to in Sections 12.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), whether or not disclosed to Buyer) of the Seller relating to any of the Assets or Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 12.2(b), Seller may use any Confidential Information of Seller before the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business in connection with the transactions permitted by Section 5.2.

(c) From and after the Closing, the provisions of Section 12.2(a) above shall not apply to or restrict in any manner Buyer’s use of any Confidential Information of the Seller relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Any such Confidential Information of Seller relating to

any of the Assets or Assumed Liabilities shall become Confidential Information of the Buyer at the Closing and Buyer shall be deemed to be the Disclosing Party for purposes of this Article 12.

Section 12.3 Exceptions

Section 12.2 does not apply to that part of the Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party that a Receiving Party demonstrates (a) was, is, or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Article 12 by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; (b) was or is developed by the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (c) was, is, or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a Third Party not bound by a confidentiality agreement or any legal, fiduciary, or other obligation restricting disclosure. Seller shall not disclose any Confidential Information of Seller relating to any of the Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in reliance on the exceptions in clauses (b) or (c) above.

Section 12.4 Legal Proceedings

If a Receiving Party becomes compelled in any Proceeding or is requested by a Governmental Body having regulatory jurisdiction over the Contemplated Transactions to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Article 12, that Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such compulsion or request so that it may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article 12. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that, based upon advice of the Receiving Party’s counsel, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body, provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed. The provisions of this Section 12.4 do not apply to any Proceedings between the parties to this Agreement.

Section 12.5 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information

Section 12.6 Attorney-Client Privilege

The Disclosing Party is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges, or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The parties (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in Proceedings to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Closing, the Receiving Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges.

Section 13.5 Enforcement of Agreement

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any Breach of this Agreement by Seller could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to prevent Breaches or threatened Breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 13.6 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 13.7 Entire Agreement and Modification

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including any letter of intent and any confidentiality agreement between Buyer and Seller) and constitutes (along with the Disclosure Letter, Exhibits, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.

Section 13.8 Disclosure Letter

(a) The information in the Disclosure Letter constitutes (i) exceptions to particular representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of Seller as set forth in this Agreement or (ii) descriptions or lists of assets and liabilities and other items referred to in this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the statements in this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Letter with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in this Agreement will control.

(b) The statements in the Disclosure Letter, and those in any supplement thereto, relate only to the provisions in the Section of this Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other provision in this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement is qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty relates, the inclusion of any matter in the Disclosure Letter does not constitute a determination by Seller that any such matter is material.

(d) The disclosures in the Disclosure Letter shall modify and relate to the representations and warranties and covenants in the Section of this Agreement to which they expressly refer. No disclosure in the Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or applicable Legal Requirement shall be construed as an admission, indication, or otherwise that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred, and nothing in the Disclosure Letter shall constitute an admission of any liability or obligation of Seller to any third party, nor an admission against Seller’s interest.

Section 13.9 Assignments, Successors, and No Third Party Rights

No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Related Party of Buyer and may collaterally assign its rights hereunder to any financial institution providing financing in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Third Party any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 13.9.

Section 13.10 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable
