Liabilities. The provisions in this Article 9 extend to Released Liabilities
which the releasing parties may not know or suspect to exist in their favor at

12. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) This Agreement is an integrated agreement and, except for the
agreements contemplated herein and any closing or escrow instructions to
accomplish this agreement (including the Undertakings Agreement), it contains
the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction
contemplated herein, and all prior agreements, understandings, representations
and statements, oral or written are merged into this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement may be waived except by an instrument signed by the party against
whom the enforcement of such waiver is sought. All modifications (including any
extensions) of this Agreement will be effective only if signed by Seller and
Buyer.
(b) This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the local, internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable
to agreements to be wholly performed therein, without regard to conflicts of
laws.
(c) This Agreement will be binding on and will inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided,
however, that Buyer will not have the right or power to assign or transfer this
Agreement. This Agreement and its terms are for the sole benefit of the parties
hereto (including, without limitation, the released Buyer's Affiliates) and
their permitted successors and assigns, if any, and no other person or entity
will have any right of action hereon or right to claim any right or benefit from
this Agreement or its terms or be deemed a third party beneficiary hereunder.
Except for the representations and warranties specifically set forth in this
Agreement or in the Lease or made as part of Seller's Liabilities, there are no
representations and warranties, express or implied, that are being made or
relied on by the parties hereto. All representations, warranties, covenants and
indemnities hereunder will survive the closing of this Agreement.
(d) The section titles or captions in this Agreement are for
convenience only and will not be deemed to be part of this Agreement for
purposes of interpreting, construing or enforcing any of the provisions of this
Agreement. All pronouns and any variations of pronouns will be deemed to refer
to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of
the parties may require. Whenever the terms referred to herein are singular, the
same will be deemed to mean the plural, as the context indicates, and vice
versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared only by
Buyer or Seller but rather as if both Buyer and Seller had prepared and
negotiated it. This Agreement is severable, and if any term, covenant,
condition, or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance will, at any time or to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term
or provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held
invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each term or
provision of this Agreement will be valid and will be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

(e) If the time period by which any right, option or election
provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required
hereunder must be performed, or by which the closing must be held, expires on a
day which is a Saturday, Sunday, or official federal or Commonwealth of
Massachusetts holiday, then such time period will be automatically extended
through the close of business on the next business day.
(f) The parties do not anticipate that there will be any sales,
transfer, excise or similar taxes or fees collectable by any governmental agency
in connection with the conveyance of the Personal Property to Buyer
(collectively, "Sales Tax"), because the Personal Property is being conveyed as
part of the Premises. Nonetheless, if Seller is required pursuant to written
notice from a governmental agency to pay any Sales Tax, it will promptly notify
Buyer and Buyer will cause the Sales Tax to be paid in full in a timely manner.
Buyer's obligations in this Section 12(ff) will survive the closing.

Affiliate (other than Buyer itself) will have any personal liability hereunder,
nor will any of them be named personally in any suit, claim, action or
proceeding hereunder nor will any of their assets be attached, liened or levied
or in any other way become liable for any of the obligations of Seller or Buyer
hereunder (unless they otherwise agree in writing), nor will either party
attempt to "pierce the corporate veil" of any of Seller's Affiliates or any of
Buyer's Affiliates.
(h) This agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts,
each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together
will constitute one and the same Agreement. All of the Exhibits referenced in
this Agreement will be deemed incorporated into this Agreement.
(i) If there is any dispute relating to this Agreement or a breach
hereunder, the prevailing party will be entitled to payment for all costs and
attorneys' fees (both trial and appellate) incurred in connection therewith. All
suits, actions, claims and proceedings will be filed, commenced and prosecuted
solely in the state or federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts, which will have
sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue. The provisions in this Subsection (i)
will survive the closing or termination of this Agreement.
(j) As a material part of the consideration to Buyer, within thirty
(30) days after the closing Seller will cause to be irrevocably released and
discharged from the Personal Property and any other real or personal property or
interests therein conveyed to Buyer hereunder, pursuant to UCC-3's and any other
necessary documents, at no cost or liability to Buyer, any and all liens,
security interests, licenses, leases or other exceptions to title created by the
Seller's Affiliates (including, without limitation, those created to secure any
debt of Seller or any interest in that debt in favor or now owned or hereafter
acquired by ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. or any of its affiliates), and Seller
will indemnify the Buyer Affiliates for and defend them and hold them free and
harmless from all claims, liabilities, obligations, costs, losses, damages,
penalties, judgements, actions, and causes of action of any type (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs), direct or indirect, known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, arising from Seller's failure to perform these
obligations as and when required. Seller's obligations in this Subsection (j)
collectively are referred to as the "Lien Release Obligations" and will survive
the closing.
In witness whereof, intending to be legally bound, the parties have
executed this Agreement under seal as of the date first set forth above.
