To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties, at any time before or after approval of this Agreement and the share exchange by the shareholders of Access Wireless but, after any such shareholder approval, no amendment shall be made that by law requires further approval of such shareholders without the approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all the parties. 8.04 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein by any other applicable party or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto by any other applicable party, or (iii) subject to the terms hereof, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of a party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of those rights. 8.05 Procedure for The Effective Time, Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require (a) in the case of Saratoga, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee of its Board of Directors and (b) in the case of Alaris, action by its Board of Directors. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS 9.01 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be only conditions to the Effective Time and shall not survive the Effective Time, provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in this Article IX shall survive the Effective Time. 9.02 Assignment, Binding Effect; Benefit; Entire Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties except that Saratoga shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to assign and transfer this Agreement to a subsidiary company wholly owned by Saratoga. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

This Agreement and any documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (oral and written) among the parties with respect thereto. No addition to or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party hereto unless made in writing and signed by all parties hereto. 9.03 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision, clause, section or part of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision, clause, section or part shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, and all other provisions, clauses, sections or parts of this Agreement which can be effective without such unenforceable provision, clause, section or part shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect. 9.04 Notices.
