Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary this Section 2(b) will only become effective upon the consummation of the purchase by AR Capital of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

   

 

 

(c)           It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in the provisos to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b), the preceding paragraphs are a full and final release covering all known as well as unknown or unanticipated debts, claims or damages of each of the Parties and their respective Related Parties relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents. Therefore, each of the Parties expressly waives any rights it may have under any statute or common law principle under which a general release does not extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such Party must have affected such Party’s settlement with the other, including, without limitation, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

 

In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge that they or their attorneys or agents may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the Released Claims, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and release all of the Released Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete mutual releases with regard to the Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claim or fact.

 

   

 

 

(d)           Each Party, on behalf of itself and its respective Related Parties, hereby covenants to each other Party and their respective Related Parties not to, with respect to any Released Claim, directly or indirectly encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way in the investigation, filing, reporting or prosecution by such Party or its Related Parties or any third party of a suit, arbitration, mediation, or claim against any other Party and/or its Related Parties relating to any Released Claim. The covenants contained in this Section 2 shall survive this Agreement indefinitely regardless of any statute of limitations.

 

3.           Non-Disparagement. Each Party agrees to not, directly or indirectly, make or ratify any statement, public or private, oral or written (including concerning the Transaction Documents, the participation or involvement of the Parties in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the reasons for or any of the events or circumstances surrounding the termination of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents) that disparages the business reputation of the other Parties or their respective Related Parties; provided that nothing herein will prevent a party from making truthful statements as may be required by Applicable Law.

 

4.           Public Announcements. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the termination of the Transaction Agreement and Guaranty Agreement shall be a joint press release in the form agreed by the Parties as set forth on Annex A and thereafter the Parties shall consult with each other (and obtain the other party’s consent) before any Party (or its Affiliates) issues any press release or otherwise makes any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (a) as may be required by Applicable Law if the party issuing such press release or other public statement has, to the extent practicable, provided the other party with an opportunity to review and comment or (b) any press release or other public statement that is consistent in all material respects with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by a party hereto in accordance with this Agreement, in each case under this clause (b) to the extent such disclosure is still accurate.

 

5.           Purchase and Sale. The Parties irrevocably agree that on Monday, November 9, 2015, (i) APH I shall sell, assign and transfer to AR Capital 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens arising as a result of this Agreement or under applicable securities laws) and (ii) as full consideration therefor AR Capital shall pay to APH I, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account previously designated by APH I in writing, the amount of $$25,666,845 (representing an original purchase price of $25,000,000 plus $666,845 in accrued and unpaid dividends through November 8, 2015. The ARC Principals hereby jointly and severally guarantee the full and timely payment by AR Capital of the amount set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

A party’s waiver of a breach of a provision of this Agreement, or failure (on one or more occasions) to enforce a provision of, or to exercise a right under, this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of a similar breach, or of such provision or right other than as explicitly waived.

 

12.           Severability.

Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

13.           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects (including as to validity, interpretation and effect) by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or principles that would require or permit the application of another jurisdiction’s laws.

 

   

 

 

14.           Jurisdiction of Disputes. Each party hereby irrevocably agrees that any action or proceeding arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance of such rights or obligations shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan or the federal courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) and hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier service, postage prepaid, to its address set forth in Section 9.

 

15.           Waiver of Jury Trail. Each Party hereby waives all rights to a jury trial with respect to any action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement, any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance of such rights and obligations. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by, among other things, the waivers and certifications contained herein.

 

16.           No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto and any attempt to do so shall be void, except for assignments and transfers by operation of any laws. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

17.           Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the ARC Related Parties and the Apollo Related Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of the releases of such Related Parties and covenants not to sue such Related Parties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement and are entitled to enforce rights under such section to the same extent that such Related Parties could enforce such rights if they were a party to this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

 

18.           Headings. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof.

 

19.           Specific Performance. The Parties agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached thereby, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that each Party will be entitled to specific performance to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

 

   

 

 

20.           Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
