13.4 Waivers. The failure of a party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing by PDI, in the case of a waiver by any Seller, or Buyer, in the case of any waiver by Buyer, and no waiver in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach of other instances or a waiver of any other condition or breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

No party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
13.6 Headings. The headings preceding the text of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement and the Exhibits and the Schedules are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of this Agreement.

13.9 Binding Nature; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without prior written consent of the other parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); except (i) the rights and interests of Sellers hereunder may be assigned to a trustee appointed under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) this Agreement may be assigned to any entity appointed as a successor to Sellers pursuant to a confirmed Chapter 11 plan; (iii) Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer provided that such assignment will not relieve Buyer from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and (iv) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

13.15 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement or document referred to herein, this Agreement shall govern and control.
