Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
SECTION 10.03. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Acquisition Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the Stockholders and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

| 28 |
SECTION 10.05. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Stockholders and the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Stockholders or the Purchaser) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates of the Purchaser without the consent of the Stockholders (so long as Purchaser remains an obligor thereof until it is satisfied).
SECTION 10.06. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Stockholders and the Purchaser or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.06.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

This agreement to arbitrate any disputes shall extend to any claims against any Affiliate of the Company and the Purchaser and, when acting in such capacity, to any officer, director, shareholder, employee, or agent of each Party. The arbitrator shall have the same, but no greater, remedial authority than would a court hearing the same dispute and shall have the authority to order such discovery as is agreed upon by the parties or as the arbitrator deems appropriate. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and decision explaining the basis for it. The award of the arbitrator shall be non-binding. Each Party shall pay its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees and half of the arbitrator’s costs and fees. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, at a time and place to be determined by the arbitrator unless the Parties agree otherwise.
SECTION 10.13. Currency. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the symbol $ and all other references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean United States (U.S.) dollars and all payments hereunder shall be made in United States dollars.
