12.7            Waivers. The failure of a party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by a party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, and no waiver in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach in other instances or a waiver of any other condition or breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

 

12.8            Interpretation. The headings preceding the text of Articles and Sections included in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of this Agreement or be given any effect in interpreting this Agreement. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender herein shall not limit any provision of this Agreement. The use of the terms “including” or “include” shall in all cases herein mean “including, without limitation” or “include, without limitation,” respectively.

 

12.9            Applicable Law and Venue. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions), and any and all actions to enforce the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey and in no other place.

 

12.10        Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

 

12.11        Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no assignment of any rights or obligations shall be made by any party without the prior written consent of all the other parties hereto.

 

12.12        No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and, to the extent provided herein, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon other third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.

 

12.13        Further Assurances. Upon the reasonable request of the parties hereto, the other parties hereto shall, on and after the Closing Date, execute and deliver such other documents, releases, assignments and other instruments as may be required to effectuate completely the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

12.14        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

 

12.15        Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion or exercise of any other rights or remedies available by law, in equity or otherwise.

 

12.16        Entire Understanding. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, letters of intent, arrangements and understandings between the parties, including the Letter of Intent dated September 11, 2017, as amended, between the parties hereto.

12.17        Exhibits and Schedules. Each of the Closing deliverables, exhibits, schedules, or similar attachments referenced in this Agreement is annexed hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference and expressly made a part hereof.

 

12.18        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile transmissions of any signed original document, or transmission of any signed facsimile document, shall constitute delivery of an executed original. At the request of any of the parties, the parties shall confirm facsimile transmission signatures by signing and delivering an original document.

 

12.19        Full Knowledge. By their signatures, the parties acknowledge that they have carefully read and fully understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that each party has had the benefit of counsel, or has been advised to obtain counsel, and that each party has freely agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent that a party elects not to consult with such counsel, the party hereby waives any defense to inadequate representation by counsel.
