  (i)

any acquisition or purchase of any assets of EPOD (other than sales of inventory, or immaterial portions of assets, in each case in the ordinary course),

     
  (ii)

any merger, consolidation or business combination involving ICP or any of its subsidiaries or involving EPOD; or

4.

Confidentiality. Each Party will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to third parties any data and information obtained from the other Party except that such Party may disclose such data and information to its employees, officers, directors, advisors, legal counsel, accountants, agents and representatives, as well as any sources of financing it may consider in connection with the Transaction (collectively, “Representatives”).

General Provisions This LOI constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. This LOI may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by the Parties.


  6.1

This LOI constitutes a non-binding statement of the Parties’ respective intentions with respect to the Transaction. This LOI does not, however, contain all matters upon which agreement must be reached in order for the Transaction to be consummated, and therefore does not constitute a binding commitment or agreement with respect to the Transaction itself. Any such binding commitment or agreement with respect to the Transaction will result only from the execution and delivery of the Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions expressed therein.

   
  6.2

This LOI may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement, and this LOI will become effective upon receipt of a counterpart hereof from each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this LOI by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this LOI.
