SELLERS agree to indemnify and hold PURCHASER harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities or obligations with respect to any other fees, commissions or expenses asserted by any person on the basis of any act or statement alleged to have been made by SELLERS.

 

20.2 Any modifications of and amendments to this AGREEMENT including any waiver of this form requirement must be in writing and signed to be binding to the PARTIES, unless any stricter form requirements exist.

 

20.3 The respective rights and obligations of the PARTIES under this AGREEMENT shall not be assignable by a PARTY hereto without the prior written consent of the other PARTY.

 

20.4 This AGREEMENT including its appendices replaces any former stipulations between the PARTIES on the subject matter of this AGREEMENT.

 

20.5 The appendices to this AGREEMENT constitute an integral part of this AGREEMENT.

 

20.6 The failure of a PARTY at any time to require performance by another PARTY of any provision of this AGREEMENT shall in no way affect the right of such PARTY to require performance of that provision and shall not be construed as a waiver to such provision. Any waiver by a PARTY of any breach of any provision of this AGREEMENT shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision.

 

20.7 Terms in capital letters used herein shall have the meaning defined herein, be it by a definition set forth in brackets or by making reference to a schedule attached hereto

 

20.8 Should any provision of this AGREEMENT be or become partly or entirely invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The PARTIES are obligated to replace the partly or entirely invalid or unenforceable provision by a valid or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the PARTIES’ original economic intent and purpose underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision. The same applies if this AGREEMENT proves to be incomplete; in such event the PARTIES are obligated to agree to the inclusion of a provision which comes as close as possible to the PARTIES’ original economic intent and purpose underlying the missing provision.
