Each party hereto acknowledges disclosure of such positions, has had ample opportunities to make independent investigations and assessments with respect to such positions and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, is in no way relying solely on Mr. Beck or Rewi Enterprises LLC for information or determinations, has separate decision makers that have reviewed and approved the Merger Agreement and this Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for itself and, to the extent possible, its Affiliates, any and all conflicts and claims arising out of any actual or potential conflict of interest or breach of duty, including duties of care, loyalty, disclosure and other fiduciary duties.

10. Successors and Assigns. No party to this Amendment may directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Amendment without the express prior written consent of each other party to this Amendment.
