Although Schedule 2.01 is intended to be
3
complete, in the event such Schedule fails to contain the description of any asset belonging to Seller which is used solely for the business and operation of the Business or is otherwise necessary for the ownership of the Business, such assets shall nonetheless be deemed transferred to the Buyer at the Closing.
2.02. Excluded Assets. Buyer expressly understands and agrees that the following assets and properties of Seller (the "Excluded Assets") shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets:
(i) | all of Seller's cash and cash equivalents on hand and in banks; | |
(ii) | all real property and leases of Seller, and other interests in, real property, in each case together with all buildings, fixtures, and improvements erected thereon; and |
2.03. Assumption of Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees, effective at the time of Closing, to assume only the liabilities of Seller under such agreements between Seller and third parties related to the operation of the Business and as more specifically set forth on Schedule 2.03 hereto (the "Assumed Liabilities").

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other writing to the contrary, Buyer is assuming only the Assumed Liabilities and is not assuming any other liability or obligation of Seller (or any predecessor owner of all or part of its business and assets) of whatever nature whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter. All such other liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of Seller (all such liabilities and obligations not being assumed are referred to as the "Excluded Liabilities"), including without limitation that Seller expressly agrees that the following liabilities and claims against Seller shall remain Sellers liabilities and Seller further agrees to fully indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all claims or causes of action related thereto as further provided in this Agreement:

Seller and Buyer will use their best efforts (but without any payment of money by Buyer) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any Purchased Asset or claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Buyer as Buyer may request. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment
4
would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all such rights, then Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith an adjustment in the consideration paid by Buyer for the Purchased Assets.

7.02. Amendments; No Waivers.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Buyer and Seller.

7.05. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of Nevada without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of Nevada will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.
BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.
11
7.06. Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of California and the United States of America located in California and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any such action or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address as set forth herein.
7.07. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction.
7.08. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Facsimile counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable and binding. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto.
7.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other writings and agreements referred to in this Agreement or delivered pursuant to this Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect thereto. None of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, nor any provision hereof or thereof, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
12
7.10. Bulk Sales Laws. Buyer and Seller each hereby waive compliance by Seller with the provisions of the "bulk sales", "bulk transfer" or similar laws of any state. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as a result of any failure to comply with any such "bulk sales", "bulk transfer" or similar laws.
7.11. Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
