24.Survival of Agreement.  Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning the Restructuring and in contemplation of possible chapter 11 filings by the Debtors and the rights granted in this Agreement are enforceable by each signatory hereto without approval of any court, including the Bankruptcy Court.
25.Rights and Settlement Discussions.  If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or following the occurrence of a Termination Date, if applicable, nothing herein

shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, other than as provided in Section 22, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement, the Plan, and all negotiations relating hereto are part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation.  Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence, and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, the Plan, any related documents, and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.
26.Waiver and Amendments.  This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules, may not be waived, modified, amended, or supplemented except with the prior written consent of all of the Parties.
27.Relationship Among Parties.  No Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity.  No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors, and neither the Parties nor any group thereof shall constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

29.Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties or any of their respective successors or assigns shall make a claim against, or seek to recover from, any other Party or the successors, assigns, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, representatives, agents, or attorneys-in-fact of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages or damages for lost profits in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to this Agreement.
30.Governing Law & Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require or permit the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be brought in the federal or state courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and by executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself

to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, if the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.  By executing and delivering this Agreement, and upon commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court solely for purposes of any action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered or order entered in any such action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter.
31.Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any and all right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, between any of the Parties arising out of, connected with, relating to, or incidental to the relationship established between any of them in connection with this Agreement.  Instead, any disputes resolved in court shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.
32.Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and representatives.
33.No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
34.Notices.  All notices (including, without limitation, any notice of termination or breach) and other communications from any Party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered by courier service, messenger, email, or facsimile to the other Parties at the applicable addresses below, or such other addresses as may be furnished hereafter by notice in writing.  Any notice of termination or breach shall be delivered to all other Parties.
