9.16 Termination, Amendment and Waiver.
(a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, whether before or after approval of matters presented in connection with the share exchange by the stockholders of NDC or by the stockholders of Stratos:
(1) By mutual written consent of Stratos and NDC;
(2) By either Stratos or NDC;
(i) | If any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, administrative or regulatory authority, agency or body shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or |
(ii) | If the transaction shall not have been consummated on or before March 31, 2008, unless the failure to consummate the transaction is the result of a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement. |
(3) By Stratos, if NDC breaches any of its representations or warranties hereof or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement; or
(4) By NDC, if Stratos breaches any of its representations or warranties hereof or fails to perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either NDC or Stratos, as provided herein, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Stratos, the Stratos Security Holders or NDC, and such termination shall not relieve any party hereto for any intentional breach prior to such termination by a party hereto of any of its representations or warranties or any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligation of the other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a 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 any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
16
(d) Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement, an amendment of this Agreement or an extension or waiver shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of Stratos or NDC, action by its General Manager or Board of Directors, as applicable, or the duly authorized designee of such General Manager or Board of Directors.
9.17 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any dispute between or among Stratos, NDC and/or the Stratos Security Holders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should result in litigation or arbitration, the prevailing party in that dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party(ies) all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of the prevailing party, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
