B-4

      3.7.     Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. 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 to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

      3.8.     Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (other than the Confidentiality Agreement), both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

      3.9.     Amendments; Assignment. This Agreement may not be amended except by written agreement by all the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; provided that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer without such consent.

      3.10.     Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

      3.11.     Governing Law; Enforcement. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Maryland. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any state or federal court in the State of Maryland, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto, (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in the State of Maryland in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than the state or federal courts of the State of Maryland and (d) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
