12.2    Confidentiality. Following the Closing, Seller shall treat and hold as confidential, and shall not use or disclose all or any of the Confidential Information.

In the event Seller is required by law or legal requirement to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall promptly (and in any event prior to any such disclosure) notify Buyer in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with Buyer to preserve the confidentiality of such information to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements, (a) no waiver that may be given by a Party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (b) no notice to or demand on one Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand.

12.6    Entire Agreement; Amendment.

12.9    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Parties shall bear their own respective expenses (including all compensation and expenses of counsel, financial advisors, consultants, actuaries and independent accountants) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.10  Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a)    This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and

 

17


construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of New York applicable hereto.

(b)    Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in the state and/or federal courts located in the City, County and State of New York, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 12.10(b). The Parties consent to service of process by mail (in accordance with Section 12.4) or any other manner permitted by law.

(c)    THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SELLER, BUYER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEGOTIATION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.

12.11    Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original of this Agreement or such amendment and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.4, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any amendment hereto by telecopier, facsimile or email attachment that contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such amendment, as applicable.

12.12    Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable benefit, claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

12.13    Remedies. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise a right of set-off or to give notice of a claim under this Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit Seller or Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to any of them, whether at law or in equity.

12.14    Specific Performance. With respect to the Parties’ respective covenants and other obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (a) each Party recognizes that if such Party breaches or refuses to perform, or threatens to breach or refuse to perform, any such covenant or obligation (including failing to take such actions as are required of it to consummate the transactions under this Agreement or any Transaction Document), monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate the non-breaching Party or Parties for their injuries, (b) the non-breaching Party or Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, including monetary damages, to (i) obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent or stop any such breach or threatened breach, (ii) specific performance of the terms of such covenants and other obligations and (iii) other equitable relief, and all such rights and remedies at law or equity shall be cumulative, (c) if any Action is brought

 

18


by the non-breaching Party or Parties to obtain an injunction or to specifically enforce such covenants and obligations, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law, (d) each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond or similar instrument in connection with any Action to obtain an injunction, specific performance of such covenants and obligations or other equitable relief and (e) each Party agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for injunction, specific performance of such covenants or obligations or other equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of such covenants or obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Party brings an Action to enjoin or to obtain specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to this Section 12.14, the Outside Date automatically shall be extended to (x) the twentieth Business Day following the resolution of such Action or (y) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

12.15    Limitations on Damages. NO PARTY (OR ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES) SHALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES) FOR ANY EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES CLAIMED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY UNDER THE TERMS OF OR DUE TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE PAYABLE BY THE PARTY SEEKING SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY.
