Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and UBS acknowledged that the Repurchase Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, were terminated and of no further force and effect and that the Company and UBS released and discharged each other from all of their respective obligations or liabilities under the Repurchase Agreement.
