“either
the Purchaser or the Purchaser Parent or the Vendor or Drive Organics if the
Closing shall not have been consummated by June 19, 2010, without liability to
the terminating party on account of such termination; provided that the right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(2) shall not be available
