This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof will be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together will constitute but one agreement.  Facsimile counterpart signatures to this Agreement will be acceptable and binding.

10.7               Governing Law.

(a)           All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Colorado will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

(b)           BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.

10.8               No Third Party Reliance.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (a) are being given as an inducement to the other Party to enter into this Agreement and the other Documents (and each Party acknowledges that the other Party has expressly relied thereon) and (b) are solely for the benefit of the other Party.  Accordingly, no third party (including, without limitation, any holder of Securities of Gaiam, Revolution Living or Wisdom) or anyone acting on behalf of such third party (other than a Party) will be a beneficiary of such representations and warranties and no such third party will have any rights of contribution against any Party with respect to such representations or warranties or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

10.9               Submission to Jurisdiction.

Any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of Colorado and the United States of America for the District of Colorado and, by execution and

S-38

delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any such action or Proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or Proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.  Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or Proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address as set forth herein.  Nothing herein will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction.

10.10             Severability.

It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement and the other Documents be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Applicable Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement or the other Documents would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, will be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.11             Independence of Agreements.

All agreements and covenants hereunder will be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain agreement or covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another agreement or covenant will not affect the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to such covenant.  In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder will be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of the representation and warranty first referred to in this sentence.

10.12             Further Assurances.

Each Party will duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, at its own cost and expense, such further instruments and documents and to take all such action, in each case as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable judgment of any other Party to carry out the provisions and purposes of the Agreement, the other Documents, and to comply with Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, all information necessary to effect any securities, governmental, bank regulatory or other governmental filings.
