The payments of any Additional Consideration under clauses (a) and (b) above shall be separate and not mutually exclusive, with either or both payments achievable if the applicable thresholds are achieved.

If the Net Working Capital as per the Trued Up Balance Sheet exceeds the Net Working Capital as per the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet the difference shall be paid by the Purchaser to the ***** as set out in Exhibit 2.4. There shall be no cap applicable to any such payments, and to the extent the Preliminary Working Capital Adjustment was reduced because of the cap set forth in clause (i) above, such amount shall be included in the payment under this clause (ii) to the extent required to reflect the difference between the Net Working Capital set forth in the Trued Up Balance Sheet and the Net Working Capital set forth in the Reference Balance Sheet. To the extent that the Working Capital Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay any working capital adjustment, Purchaser shall be entitled to claim such amounts against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and to the extent Purchaser made a payment under clause (i) above, but is entitled to receive a payment under this clause (ii), Purchaser may also claim payment from each ***** for such Sellers' portion. Any payment to be made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be referred to as the "Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment" and shall forthwith be made upon final determination of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment.

For the determination of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment the following procedure shall apply:

9

(x)                                           agree in writing with the Purchaser's calculation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment, in which case such calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.4(a)(ii) above; or

(y)                                         dispute Purchaser's calculation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment as set forth in the Adjustment Notice by delivering to the Purchaser a written notice (for this clause a "Dispute Notice") setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

For purposes of this Section 2.4(a)(ii)(2)(y), the ***** may not deliver a Dispute Notice on the basis that the Purchaser's calculation of the Net Working Capital and Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment be incorrect due to a mistake attributable to a ***** or to the Acquired Company while under control of the *****.

(3)                                  If the *****, acting jointly, fail to take either of the foregoing actions within 15 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, then the ***** will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Purchaser's calculation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment as set forth in the Adjustment Notice, in which case, such calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.4(a)(ii).

(4)                                  If the *****, acting jointly, deliver a Dispute Notice to the Purchaser within 15 days after delivery of the Adjustment Notice, then the Purchaser and *****, acting jointly, will attempt in good faith, for a period of 30 days, to agree on the calculation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment. Any resolution by the Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, during such 30-day period as to any disputed items will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.4(a)(ii). If the Purchaser and *****, acting jointly, do not resolve all disputed items by the end of 30 days after the date of delivery of the Dispute Notice, then the Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, will submit the remaining items in dispute to KPMG AG, Zurich, for resolution, or if that firm is unwilling or unable to serve or the parties wish to select another Person, the Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, will engage another mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of recognized international standing, which firm is not the regular auditing firm of the Purchaser or the Acquired Companies. If the Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, are unable to jointly select such independent accounting firm within 10 days after such 30-day period, any one of ***** or Purchaser may ask a competent court to determine an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing; provided, however, the court may not select PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or an affiliated entity without the appropriate approvals from the Purchaser for such non-audit work. The Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, will instruct the independent accounting firm to render its determination with respect to the items in dispute in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the independent accounting firm as to each item in dispute and the resulting calculation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment. The Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the independent accounting firm to render its determination within 30 days after referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The determinations of the independent accounting firm with respect to the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment as set forth in its report will (provided absence of manifest errors) be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 2.4(a)(ii). The Purchaser will revise the Trued Up Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Trued Up

10

Working Capital Adjustment as appropriate to reflect the resolution of the issues in dispute pursuant to this Section 2.4(a). The fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm will be shared by the Purchaser and the ***** in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount determined to be for the account of the Purchaser and the *****, respectively.

(5)                                  For purposes of complying with this Section 2.4, the Purchaser and the *****, acting jointly, will furnish to each other and to the independent accounting firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the independent accounting firm may request and are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the independent accounting firm any material related to the disputed items and to discuss the items with the independent accounting firm. The Purchaser may require that the independent accounting firm enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information regarding the Acquired Companies provided to the independent accounting firm pursuant to this Section 2.4.

Accordingly, except where permitted by a prior written consent of the

29

Purchaser, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date:

(a)                                  no Financial Investor will disparage the Purchaser, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents;

(a)                                  any governmental or regulatory requirements (including competition law filings and the expiration of related waiting periods and obtaining of approvals) have been fully satisfied, provided that any divestiture obligations or other conditions required by competition or other similar governmental authorities shall not release Purchaser from its obligation to consummate the transaction as contemplated by this Agreement;

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement might trigger certain Change of Control Events and that such Change of Control Events triggered or any direct or indirect financial or other consequence resulting thereof shall not release Purchaser from its obligation to consummate the transaction as contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall Sellers or the Acquired Companies assume any responsibility or be liable vis-à-vis the Purchaser for any Change of Control Events triggered or any direct or indirect financial or other consequence resulting thereof, provided always, such limitation only applies if and to the extent a Change of Control Events has been Fairly Disclosed to Purchaser.

Section 6.3                                      Waiver of Certain Clearance. The parties agree that should the closing conditions under Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.2(a) not be met after the sixth week from the date hereof solely because of the antitrust authorities of a territory in which the gross sales of the Acquired Companies contribute less than 5% to the consolidated gross sales of the Company for the full financial year 2010 not having granted clearance (be it expressly or by letting expire a waiting period) for the transaction contemplated herein, the parties shall enact legally permissible and binding hold separate agreements between the parties for the purpose of acting in accordance with the standstill obligations as per the applicable competition laws of such territories, which shall be in force until the respective clearance(s) is/are granted, and take all such other legally permissible measures as commercially reasonably practical to nevertheless allow Closing of the transaction and agree to waive Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.2(a) to the extent they relate to such clearance not yet obtained.

ARTICLE 7

Section 7.1                                      Termination Events. This Agreement may, by written notice given before or at the Closing, be terminated:

(a)                                  by mutual consent of the Purchaser and the Sellers;

(b)                                 by the Purchaser if any of the closing conditions set out in Section 6.1 is not met, and, in case of the condition that is capable of being cured, is not cured or cannot be cured within 30 days after the notice of the breach from the Purchaser, or, in case the condition by its nature is incapable of being cured, upon notice of the breach from the Purchaser;

(c)                                  by the Sellers, acting jointly, if any of the closing conditions set out in Section 6.2 is not met, and, in case of the condition that is capable of being cured, is not cured or cannot be cured within 30 days after the notice of the breach from the Sellers, acting jointly, or, in case the condition by its nature is incapable of being cured, upon notice of the breach from the Sellers, acting jointly;

(d)                                 by either the Purchaser or the Sellers, acting jointly, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a nonappealable final Judgment or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(e)                                  by either the Purchaser or the Sellers, acting jointly, if the Closing did not take place within six months from the date hereof.

Section 7.2                                      Effect of Termination. Each party's rights of termination under Section 7.1 are in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such rights of termination is not an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement terminate, except that (a) the provisions of Sections 5.6, 5.7, 5.9, this Section 7.2 and Article 10 will remain in full force and survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the breach of this Agreement by another party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

(a)                                  any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement; and

(b)                                 any breach of any covenant of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement.

34

Section 9.3                                      Claim Procedure.

(a)                                  A party that seeks indemnity under this Article 9 (an "Indemnified Party") will give written notice (a "Claim Notice") to the party from whom indemnification is sought (an "Indemnifying Party") containing (i) a description in reasonable detail and, if known, the estimated amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to the extent of the facts then known by the Indemnified Party and (iii) a demand for payment of those Losses, it being agreed and understood that, if a Claim Notice is not delivered to the Indemnifying Party within 30 days after the Indemnified Party detected the fact or matter which gives rise to a claim and that it has a claim against the Indemnifying Party and determined the approximate extent thereof, any Loss that results from not complying with the 30 days time limit and could have been prevented had such time limit been observed, shall not be recoverable from the Indemnifying Party.

(b)                                 Within 30 days after delivery of a delivered Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either:

(i)                                     agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or

(ii)                                  dispute the Indemnified Party's entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an "Objection Notice") setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith.

(c)                                  If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within 45 days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice.

(d)                                 If the Purchaser is the Indemnified Party and if any of the Founders is the Indemnifying Party with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, the parties will contemporaneously deliver to the escrow agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreements copies of each Claim Notice and Objection Notice in connection with such claim. Any indemnification of the Purchaser by the Founders pursuant to this Article 9 will first be satisfied by payment from the Indemnity Escrow Fund established in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreements until the funds contained in such escrow fund are exhausted or released.

Section 9.4                                      Third Party Claims.

(a)                                  Without limiting the general application of the other provisions of this Article 9, if a third Person that is not a party to this Agreement alleges facts that, if true, would mean that a party has breached its representations or warranties or covenants in this Agreement, the party for whose benefit the representation, warranty or, respectively, covenant is made will be entitled to indemnity for those allegations and demands and related Losses under and pursuant to this Article 9. If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 in connection with a claim by a third Person that is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will include in the Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party notice of the commencement of any Proceeding relating to that third party claim within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has received written notice of the commencement of such Proceeding. The Indemnified Party will include in this notice the facts constituting the basis for such Proceeding and the amount of the damages claimed by the third party claim, in each case to the extent known to the Indemnified Party.

35

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual Losses directly caused by the delay or other deficiency.

(b)           Within 30 days after the Indemnified Party's delivery of notice of the commencement of such Proceeding under this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Party may assume control of the defense of such Proceeding by giving to the Indemnified Party written notice of the intention to assume such defense, but if and only if the Indemnifying Party further:

(i)            acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Losses that may be assessed in connection with such Proceeding constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified pursuant to this Article 9 without contest and that the Indemnifying Party will advance all expenses and costs of defense; and

(ii)           retains counsel for the defense of such Proceeding reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and furnishes to the Indemnified Party evidence satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has and will have sufficient financial resources to fund on a current basis the cost of such defense and paying all Losses that may arise under the claim.

However, in no event may the Indemnifying Party assume or maintain control of the defense of any Proceeding involving criminal liability or in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Party, or in which it can be reasonably assumed that the outcome of any Judgment or settlement in the matter may adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Party will lose any previously acquired right to control the defense of any Proceeding if for any reason the Indemnifying Party ceases to actively, competently and diligently conduct the defense.

(c)           If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not able to, assume or maintain control of such defense in compliance with Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party has the right to control such defense. If the Indemnified Party controls such defense, the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay to the Indemnified Party promptly upon demand from time to time all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses of defense. The party not controlling such defense (the "Noncontrolling Party") may participate therein at its own expense. However, if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party will be considered and included as "Losses" for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the "Controlling Party") will reasonably advise the Noncontrolling Party of the status of such Proceeding and the defense thereof and will consider in good faith recommendations made by the Noncontrolling Party. The Noncontrolling Party will furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Proceeding.

(d)           If the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnified Party has the right to agree in good faith to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Judgment arising from, such Proceeding without prior consent of the Indemnifying Party. All amounts paid or payable under such settlement or Judgment are Losses that the Indemnifying Party owes to the Indemnified Party under this Article 9. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Judgment arising from, any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent the Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold or

36

delay. The Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of, or the entry of any Judgment arising from, any such Proceeding effected without its consent, provided such consent was not unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 9, if a third Person that is not a party to this Agreement asserts that the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates, including the Company and the Subsidiaries) is liable to such third Person for a monetary or other obligation which individually may constitute or result in Losses not to exceed EUR 50,000 for which the Purchaser may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, and the Purchaser reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) the Purchaser will be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 and (iii) the Purchaser Indemnified Party will be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9, for any such Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Purchaser Indemnified Party's entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the provisions of this Article 9. This Section 9.4(e) is not applicable to payments which aggregate more than EUR 50,000.

(f)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.13, the Sellers consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought by any third party against the Purchaser for purposes of any claim that the Purchaser may have under this Agreement with respect to the Proceeding or the matters alleged therein. The Sellers agree that process may be served on them with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

Section 9.5             Survival.

(a)           Subject to the limitations set out in Section 9.6, the right to make claims under any representation or any warranty contained in this Agreement and any right resulting from the breach of a ***** and/or the covenant pursuant Section 5.2(b)(iv) and/or the covenant pursuant Section 5.17 will survive the Closing for a time limit until *****; provided that (i) the right to make claims under any representation or warranty contained in ***** shall survive for ***** years from the Closing Date, and (ii) the right to make claims under any ***** and the right to make claims under any other covenant shall, with respect to the Financial Investors, survive for ***** from the Closing Date, and, with respect to the Founders, survive for ***** from the Closing Date.

(b)           If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party before the end of the applicable time limits set out in Section 9.5(a) above, either a Claim Notice or a notice that, as a result of a Proceeding instituted or claim made by a third Person that is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the respective right to make claims under the applicable representation, warranty or covenant will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, that the right to make claims under the applicable representation, warranty or covenant shall expire if the Indemnified Party has not initiated arbitral proceedings in accordance with Section 10.13 on or before the expiry of seventh (7th) month from the end of the applicable time limit set out in Section 9.5(a) above.

Section 9.6             Limitations on Liability.

(a)           Neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser are liable under this Article 9 unless and until the aggregate Losses (not including those relating to Section 3.15 (Tax Matters)) for which they or it, respectively, would otherwise be liable under this Agreement exceed EUR ***** (at which point the Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, are liable for the aggregate Losses and not just amounts in excess

37

of that sum), provided however that, regarding Losses relating to Section *****, the Founders are not liable under this Article 9 unless and until the aggregate Losses relating to ***** for which they would otherwise be liable under this Agreement exceed EUR ***** (at which point the Founders are liable for the aggregate Losses and not just amounts in excess of that sum).

(b)

(i)            in no event are the Founders liable for Losses under this Agreement resulting to or from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and Losses resulting from Section 9.1(A)(d) in connection with Exhibit 9.1 matter (vi) through Exhibit 9.1 matter (viii) for an aggregate amount in excess of EUR *****, provided, however, that the cap set forth in this Section 9.6(b)(i) shall not apply to any breach of or inaccuracy in the Limited Representations of Founders; and

(ii)           (x) in no event is any of the Founders liable for Losses under this Agreement resulting to or from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty or any breach of any covenants for an aggregate amount in excess of the Closing Consideration, (y) and in no event is Seller 4 liable for Losses under this Agreement resulting to or from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Limited Representation or any breach of covenant (for which Seller 4 is liable) for an aggregate amount in excess of EUR *****, provided that in the event that *****. In the event that there are Losses resulting from an inaccuracy in or breach of *****, and such Losses in the aggregate exceed EUR *****, (z) and in no event is ***** liable for Losses under this Agreement resulting to or from any inaccuracy in or breach of any ***** or any breach of covenant ***** for an aggregate amount in excess of EUR *****million, provided that in the event that there is no Loss resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any *****, such cap of EUR ***** million shall be reduced to EUR ***** million. In the event that there are Losses resulting from an inaccuracy in or breach of Limited Representations *****, the cap of EUR ***** million shall be reduced by such amount in excess of EUR ***** million..

(c)           All matters and information which have been Fairly Disclosed at the date hereof in

(i)            *****

(ii)           *****

(iii)          *****

(iv)          *****

(all such documents, matters and information referred to in this Section 9.6(c) collectively the "Disclosure Information")

shall operate as exclusion of, or a limitation to, the Sellers' representation and warranties (except the Limited Representations).

(d)           The limitations provided in Section 9.6(a) do not apply to (i) claims with respect to any amounts owing by the Sellers or the Purchaser in connection with the adjustment of the Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 2.3 and/or Section 2.4 and claims under any representation or warranty to the extent such claims are for Losses that would not have been incurred had the basis for computing the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment been accurate in all respects, provided that the inaccuracy was not fully corrected when determining the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment,

38

(ii) claims under Section 9.1(A)(a) if relating to a Limited Representation, Section 9.1(A)(b), Section 9.1(A)(d) in connection with Exhibit 9.1 matters (i) through (v), or (iii) claims under Section 9.1(B).

(e)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement limits the Liability of a party to another party for fraud or willful misconduct.

(f)            In no event is any of the Sellers liable for Losses under this Agreement to the extent:

(i)           the Purchaser or any Acquired Company has recovered any amount in respect of such Loss from any third Person, including but not limited to an insurer, in an amount equal to the amount of such actual recovery, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in making such recovery (including reasonable attorney's fees) and of all related and documented increases of insurance premiums;

(ii)           a provision, reserve or valuation allowance has been or is made or included in the Interim Balance Sheet, in an amount equal to the amount of such provision, reserve or valuation allowance provided (A) such provision, reserve or allowance has, as shown in the Interim Balance Sheet, been made for a specific type of or a specific possible Loss and not just as a general provision, reserve or valuation allowance, and (B) the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment would not have changed had such provision, reserve or allowance already been used before the computation of the Trued Up Working Capital Adjustment to cover a Loss;

(iii)          any tax payable by any Acquired Company or by the Purchaser or its Affiliates is reduced as a result of a matter giving rise to a claim, in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction; and

(iv)          such claim arises or is increased as a result of any legislation, regulation, rule of law or practice not in force at the date hereof, whether or not such change or withdrawal purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or part.

Section 10.3           Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written document signed by each party to be bound by the amendment and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 10.4           Transaction Costs. All transfer, documentary, recording, notarial, sales, use, registration, stamp and other similar Taxes or fees imposed by any taxing authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be borne by the party such Taxes are levied upon. Each party will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the costs of all attempts to obtain a Favorable Ruling subsequent to the date hereof shall be born by Sellers.

Section 10.5           Waiver and Remedies. The parties may (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party to this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party to this Agreement contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained in this Agreement.

41

Any such extension or waiver by any party to this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in a written document signed on behalf of the party or parties against whom the waiver or extension is to be effective. No extension or waiver will apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any covenant, agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the written extension or waiver. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any of the documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any enumeration of a party's rights and remedies in this Agreement is not intended to be exclusive, and a party's rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative to the extent permitted by law and include any rights and remedies authorized in law or in equity.

Section 10.6           Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in effect in accordance with its terms as modified pursuant to Section 5.7.
