17.2		Letter from the Company to David Nicholas dated October 4, 2012.

~~SIGNATURES~~The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the Guarantee and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Guarantee, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties the Company, Parent and Merger Sub made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contracts among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the negotiated terms, including, but not limited to, information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Company in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company’s shareholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
