5

(a) The Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser the following:  (i) a duly executed Assumption Agreement; (ii) a duly executed Assignment of Trademarks; (iii) a duly executed Assignment of Patent; (iv) a duly executed Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement; (v) a duly executed Manufacturing Agreement; (vi) a duly executed Transitional Services Agreement; (vii) duly executed Canadian Transfer Documents; (viii) third party consents as required by Schedule 1.4(a); (ix) (A) duly executed certificates prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2 and dated as of the Closing Date certifying that each such Seller that is incorporated in the United States is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code and (B) duly executed certificates prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2 and dated as of the Closing Date certifying that each such Seller that is not incorporated in the United States is not transferring a “U.S. real property interest” as defined in Section 897(c) of the Code; and (x) all other documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(b) Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers the following: (i) cash in the aggregate amount of $380 million, plus or minus the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, by electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds in the amounts and to the account as is designated by the Seller no later than five business days before the Closing Date; (ii) a duly executed Assumption Agreement; (iii) a duly executed Assignment of Trademarks; (iv) a duly executed Assignment of Patent; (v) a duly executed Bill of Sale and Assignment Agreement; (vi) a duly executed Manufacturing Agreement; (vii) a duly executed Transitional Services Agreement; (vii) duly executed Canadian Transfer Documents; and (ix) all other documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
 
Section 1.5 Transfer of Inventory.  Until the Closing Date, any loss of or damage to the Inventory from fire, casualty or any other occurrence shall be the sole responsibility of the Sellers.  On the Closing Date, title to the Inventory shall be transferred to Purchaser and Purchaser shall thereafter bear all risk of loss associated with the Inventory and be solely responsible for procuring adequate insurance to protect the Inventory against any such loss.  During the 60 day period following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall ship the Inventory constituting finished goods ready for final sale to Purchaser in such quantities and on such dates as so requested by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost, expense and risk, to such location or locations as so requested by Purchaser.
 
Section 1.6 Working Capital Adjustment.  (a)  No later than five business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”) together with a statement of the calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital.  If Purchaser disagrees with the Seller’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller its own good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, together with a statement of the calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital.  If Purchaser delivers its calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital to the Seller, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to
 
6

 
 
agree upon the calculation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital.  If Purchaser and the Seller cannot agree on such calculation, the Closing shall nonetheless take place without delay using the Target as the Estimated Closing Working Capital.  If the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds $12.312 million ( the “Target”), which amount has been calculated as set forth in Schedule 1.6, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess.  If the Estimated Closing Working Capital is less than the Target, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such deficit.  The amount by which the Purchase Price is increased or decreased, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.6(a) is referred to as the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment”.  
 
(b) As promptly as practicable and in no event later than 90 days after the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement of Closing Working Capital prepared in accordance with Del Accounting Consistently Applied.  “Closing Working Capital” means, as of the opening of business on the Closing Date, the excess of (A) Net Accounts Receivable plus Inventory Value plus prepaid expenses and trade credits, each to the extent constituting Acquired Assets and calculated in accordance with Del Accounting Consistently Applied, over (B) Accounts Payable plus the accruals for Promotion Liabilities, Coupon Liabilities and the Orajel monograph study, each calculated in accordance with Del Accounting Consistently Applied; provided, that Closing Working Capital shall not include any Tax asset or liability.  “Inventory Value” shall equal the sum of (i) the product of the amount of Inventory constituting final goods ready for sale times the full cost (including labor, materials and overhead as specified in Del standard costs, plus the cost of freight-in of materials and variances) of such Products plus (ii) the product of the amount of each other form of Inventory times the full cost (including labor, materials and overhead as specified in Del standard costs, plus the cost of freight-in of materials and variances) of such Inventory, less Inventory reserve.  “Net Accounts Receivable” shall equal the excess of (i) Accounts Receivable (it being understood that any accounts receivable generated in Puerto Rico are not included for purposes of calculating the Target or Closing Working Capital) over (ii) the sum of the accruals and reserves for Return Liabilities, markdowns, chargebacks, coop/promotions, discounts and allowances and doubtful accounts.  “Del Accounting Consistently Applied” means Del Laboratories, Inc. accounting principles, policies, standards and procedures, which are in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided, however, that to the extent Del Accounting Consistently Applied is not in accordance with GAAP, the independent accounting firm engaged hereunder shall use GAAP (it being understood that if the use of GAAP instead of Del Accounting Consistently Applied results in a change to any amount included in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, a conforming change shall also be made to such amount to the extent included in the calculation of the Target); provided, further, however, that in no event shall any respective reserves or accruals for the Business be reduced from the amounts included in the Target except to reflect (i) cash payments made by the Sellers subsequent to such date, (ii) changes in circumstances or events occurring between such date and the Closing Date and (iii) bona fide commercial transactions; provided, further, further, however, the amount of trade credits included in Closing Working Capital shall not exceed the net book value of Inventory bartered in exchange therefore and included in the Target.

item in dispute, the Seller’s calculation of the amount of each item disputed and the basis for any such disputes (it being understood that the only basis for such a dispute is that the item was not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or such calculation was mathematically inaccurate).  The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to any items in the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in Purchaser’s statement to which it has not objected.  If the Seller shall not object to any items in Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in Purchaser’s statement shall be final.  If the Seller shall so object, Purchaser and the Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to reach agreement as to the disputed items.  If within 15 days following the Seller advising Purchaser of its objections, Purchaser and the Seller shall not have resolved all such disputed items, they shall promptly engage an independent accounting firm to be mutually selected by them (or Ernst & Young if such parties cannot agree on an independent accounting firm) to resolve any remaining disputed items as soon as practicable.  The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the accounting firm will be limited to whether the items in dispute that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, and the accounting firm shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent Purchaser’s and Seller’s respective calculations of Closing Working Capital require adjustment.  The accounting firm’s decision will be based solely on submissions by the Seller and Purchaser and their respective representatives and not by independent review.  In making its determination of Closing Working Capital, the accounting firm shall be instructed to determine only those disputed items that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) and which remain unresolved and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.  The fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal amounts by Purchaser and the Seller.  The determination of the accounting firm shall be final and binding upon each of the parties.

(e) Each of the Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with and make available to the other parties and their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and review of the Closing Working Capital statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.  Such cooperation shall include permitting Purchaser after the Closing Date to promptly take a physical inventory of all Inventory held by the Sellers.  Such physical inventory inspection shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, during normal business hours and in a manner that shall not interfere with the Sellers’ conduct of their business.
 
Section 1.7 Assignment of Acquired Assets; Consents of Third Parties.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) this Agreement shall not

item in dispute, the Seller’s calculation of the amount of each item disputed and the basis for any such disputes (it being understood that the only basis for such a dispute is that the item was not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or such calculation was mathematically inaccurate).  The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to any items in the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in Purchaser’s statement to which it has not objected.  If the Seller shall not object to any items in Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in Purchaser’s statement shall be final.  If the Seller shall so object, Purchaser and the Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to reach agreement as to the disputed items.  If within 15 days following the Seller advising Purchaser of its objections, Purchaser and the Seller shall not have resolved all such disputed items, they shall promptly engage an independent accounting firm to be mutually selected by them (or Ernst & Young if such parties cannot agree on an independent accounting firm) to resolve any remaining disputed items as soon as practicable.  The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the accounting firm will be limited to whether the items in dispute that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) were prepared in accordance with this Agreement, and the accounting firm shall determine, on such basis, whether and to what extent Purchaser’s and Seller’s respective calculations of Closing Working Capital require adjustment.  The accounting firm’s decision will be based solely on submissions by the Seller and Purchaser and their respective representatives and not by independent review.  In making its determination of Closing Working Capital, the accounting firm shall be instructed to determine only those disputed items that were included in the notice of disagreement delivered in accordance with this Section 1.6(c) and which remain unresolved and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.  The fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal amounts by Purchaser and the Seller.  The determination of the accounting firm shall be final and binding upon each of the parties.

23

 
 
revenues, in each case during the year prior to such acquisition being made (or, if earlier, the entry into the definitive agreement providing for the making of such acquisition).  In the event the Restricted Affiliates acquire any business or person, the acquisition of which would otherwise violate this Section 4.18(a), the Restricted Affiliates shall not be in violation of this Section 4.18(a) if the Competing Business of such business or person accounts for more than 15% of such business’ or person’s consolidated annual revenues during the year prior to such acquisition being made (or, if earlier, the entry into the definitive agreement providing for the making of such acquisition) and, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after the closing of such acquisition, the Restricted Affiliates commence efforts to divest the portion of such acquired person or business required in order to otherwise comply with this Section 4.18(a) and, within one year after the closing of such acquisition, the Restricted Affiliates consummate the divestiture of the portion of such acquired person or business required in order to otherwise comply with this Section 4.18.

(ii) under clause (i) Section 6.3(a) for any individual items (or series of related individual items) where the Loss relating thereto is less than $10,000, in which case such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of clause (i) of this Section 6.3(b); provided, that any Losses attributable to a breach of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 3.2 (Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability) and Section 3.4 (Brokers) shall not be subject to any of the limitations of this clause (ii); and
 
(iii) under clause (i) of Section 6.3(a) in excess of the Maximum; provided, that that any Losses attributable to a breach of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in Section 3.2 (Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability) shall not be subject to any of the limitations of this clause (iii).
 
Section 6.4 Calculation of Losses.  The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a) shall be net of any amounts recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss (net of any increase in insurance premiums, retroactive premiums, premium adjustments or costs of collection) and shall be reduced by any net Tax benefit actually realized by the indemnified party.  For purposes of this Agreement, an indemnified party shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes paid in cash by such indemnified party is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such indemnified party would have been required to pay but for the receipt or accrual of the indemnity payment or
 
29

 
 
the incurrence or payment of such Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI.  Any indemnity payment under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Tax law.
 
Section 6.5 Termination of Indemnification.  The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party under Section 6.2(a)(i) and Section 6.3(a)(i) shall terminate on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that the obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party under Section 6.2(a)(i) relating to Taxes shall terminate the 30th day after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof); provided, further that the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in (a) Section 2.2 (Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability) shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely and (b) Section 2.6 (Title to Assets) shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, further, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the indemnified party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable survival period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim to the extent then known) pursuant to Section 6.6 to the indemnifying party.  All other obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party pursuant to this Article VI shall not terminate.
 
Section 6.6 Procedures.  (a)  In order for a party (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must promptly notify the indemnifying party (the “indemnifying party”) in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim after receipt by such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced in the defense of such claim as a result of such failure.  Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, within five business days’ time after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.
 
(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (exercisable by written notice to Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, within 60 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim from Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable) with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.  The indemnifying party’s right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (other than a Third Party Claim relating to an Excluded Liability in the case of the Seller or an Assumed Liability in the case of Purchaser) shall be subject to the following conditions:  (i) the claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages; (ii) the claim is not, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, likely to result in an aggregate liability that will exceed the then remaining amount of the Maximum; (iii) the indemnifying party expressly agrees in writing with the indemnified party that, as between the two, the indemnifying party is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim, subject to the Basket and the Maximum, to the extent applicable, and (iv) the claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal allegation, proceeding, action, indictment or investigation.  If the indemnifying party does not assume control of the defense of such claim within the period of
 
30

 
 
time required or, after assuming such control, the indemnifying party fails to diligently defend against such claim in good faith (it being understood that settlement of such claim does not constitute such a failure to defend), the indemnified party shall have the right to defend and settle such claim.  Should the indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense of and continue to be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof.  If the indemnifying party assumes such defense and continue to be entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense.  The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof or lost the right to continue such defense hereunder (other than during any period in which the indemnified party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above).  Each party shall cooperate in the defense of a Third Party Claim.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Whether or not the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise materially adversely affect the indemnified party.
 
(c) Other Claims.  In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver written notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party.  The failure by any indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually prejudiced in the defense of such claim by such failure.  If the indemnifying party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute.  Such negotiations will commence as soon as practicable after the indemnified party shall have given notice of such claim to the indemnifying party.  If the dispute is not resolved through negotiations within 30 days, such dispute may be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 6.7 Sole Remedy; No Additional Representations.  (a)  Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Related Transfer Instrument, each of the parties hereto
 
31

 
 
acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing Date with respect to any and all claims and causes of action relating to this Agreement (including the Schedules) and the Related Transfer Instruments, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or intentional misrepresentation) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action relating to this Agreement (including the Schedules) and the Related Transfer Instruments, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Business, the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud or intentional misrepresentation) it may have against the Sellers arising under or based upon any applicable law or arising under or based upon common law or any contract (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, as applicable).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the rights of the parties to seek specific performance as provided in Sections 4.18(d) and 8.13(a).
 
(b) Purchaser acknowledges that none of the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business furnished or made available to Purchaser and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or the Related Instruments, and none of the Sellers, their Affiliates or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, documents or material made available to Purchaser in any “data rooms”, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated hereby except to the extent such information, documents or materials is included in the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related Instrument.
 
(c) Purchaser also acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related Instrument, there are no representations or warranties of the Sellers of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Business, and that Purchaser is purchasing the Acquired Assets “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults”.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related Instrument, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 
Section 6.8 Limitations on Liability.  (a)  Notwithstanding any provision herein, neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser shall in any event be liable to the other party or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, or representatives on account of any indemnity obligation set forth in Section 6.2(a)(i) and Section 6.2(a)(ii) or Section 6.3(a)(i) and Section 6.3(a)(ii) for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages except to the extent payable to third parties.  
 
(b) The Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other under this
 
32

 
 
Agreement, including, without limitation, by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability to the extent required by applicable law.
 
(c) For purposes of determining the existence of any breach of representation and warranty or calculating the amount of Losses incurred arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty (other than those in Sections 2.5, 2.13 and 2.14) in this Agreement (including the Schedules) or in any Related Transfer Instrument, the references to “Material Adverse Effect” or “material” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms), except when expressed in accounting concepts such as GAAP, shall be disregarded.
 
Section 6.9 Guarantee.  Coty Inc. hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment of any amounts owing by the Sellers pursuant to the indemnification provisions of Section 6.2(a).  Upon any failure of the Sellers to pay punctually any such amount, Coty Inc. agrees to forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid as provided in this Agreement.  Purchaser may enforce Coty Inc.’s obligations without first (a) suing the Sellers, (b) joining the Sellers in any suit against Coty Inc., (c) enforcing any rights and remedies against the Sellers or (d) otherwise pursuing or asserting any claims or rights against the Sellers or any of their respective property, in the event of a breach of any of the Sellers’ obligations under this Article VI.  Coty Inc.’s responsibility shall not be discharged, released, diminished, or impaired in whole or in part by (i) any setoff, counterclaim, defense, act or occurrence which Coty Inc. may have against Purchaser as a result or arising out of any transaction other than the Acquisition, (ii) the amendment, modification, waiver or alteration of this Agreement, with or without the knowledge or consent of Coty Inc., or (iii) the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser under this Agreement, other than in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.  Each of the defenses, limitations, conditions and qualifications on and with respect to the obligations of the Sellers hereunder shall apply with equal force and effect to the obligations of Coty Inc. in respect of this Guarantee.
 
ARTICLE VII  
 
TERMINATION
 
Section 7.1 Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Acquisition may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
 
(a) by mutual consent of the Seller and Purchaser;
 
(b) by Purchaser, if there has been a material breach by the Sellers of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which will prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Purchaser at the Closing and such breach has not been waived by Purchaser or cured by the Sellers within 20 business days after receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser;
 
(c) by the Seller, if there has been a material breach by Purchaser of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which will prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Seller at the Closing and such breach has
 
33

 
 
not been waived by the Seller, or cured by Purchaser within 20 business days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Seller;
 
(d) by either the Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by August 15, 2008; provided, that no party may rely upon this Section 7.1(d) to terminate this Agreement if such party's material breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or
 
(e) by either the Seller or Purchaser if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an injunction, restraining order, decree or judgment, or taken any other action, in each case permanently prohibiting the Acquisition, and such injunction, restraining order, decree or judgment shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that no party may rely upon this Section 7.1(e) to terminate this Agreement if such party shall have failed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such injunction, restraining order, decree or judgment.
 
Section 7.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination.  
 
(a) In the event of termination and abandonment of the Acquisition pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party hereto and this Agreement shall terminate and the Acquisition shall be abandoned, without further action by any of the parties.
 
(b) In the event of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, such termination shall be without liability of either party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other party hereto; provided, that if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the obligations of the other party, (ii) failure to perform a covenant of this Agreement, or (iii) breach by either party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all damages incurred and suffered by the other party as a result of such failure or breach.
