WHEREAS, Richter threatened to institute suit against the EMI Entities and all parties involved in the loan made pursuant to the MLA;

WHEREAS, the EMI Entities deny any and all allegations of wrongdoing or liability made by the Richter Parties;

WHEREAS, before suit was instituted, the Parties engaged in settlement discussions in order to resolve all actual and potential claims against each other with finality, without admission of liability, and upon the terms and conditions set forth below, all effective as of the date hereof;

NOW THEREFORE, upon the mutual covenants and premises set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

(2)           The EMI Entities will have no obligation to return the remaining 1,428,481 of the Collateral Shares, nor to pay any consideration to Richter therefor.

2.             The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of, or demand with respect to, any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or supersession of the Settlement and Release, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Richter, the EMI Entities and the Escrow Agent.  In the event of any controversy or dispute arising thereunder or with respect to the construction thereof or any action to be taken by the Escrow Agent thereunder, the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability for any action or omission to act by it in good faith.  The good faith of the Escrow Agent shall be conclusively presumed with respect to any action or omission taken by it in accordance with the advice of counsel selected by the Escrow Agent.

3.             If the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain about the interpretation of the Settlement and Release or about the rights or obligations of any party thereto or the propriety of any action contemplated thereunder, or if the Escrow Agent shall receive instructions, claims or demands with respect to the Settlement Payment that are in its opinion in conflict with any other instructions it has received or any provisions of the Settlement and Release, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its discretion, to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Settlement Payment until it shall be directed otherwise in a writing executed by Richter and the EMI Entities, or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, not subject to a further right of appeal; or alternatively the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, (i) take action to deposit the Settlement Payment in any state or federal court located in New York, New York, and the Escrow Agent shall thereby be discharged of its duties and responsibilities hereunder or (ii) file an action of interpleader with respect to such matter.  Richter and the EMI Entities shall, without waiving any contribution rights any of them may have against the others, indemnify the Escrow Agent for all expenses (including reasonable attorney fees), costs, disbursements, or cash damages incurred by it in connection or resulting from any such interpleader action.
