10.          Headings and References; Construction.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference is to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement have the defined meanings when used in any other document made or delivered pursuant hereto, unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. The use of “or” is not intended to be exclusive unless expressly indicated otherwise. References to “$” are to U.S. dollars.
 
11.          Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
 
12.          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
13.          Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such party), as the case may be, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
 
14.          Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the parties hereto that expressly references the Section of this Agreement to be amended; or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 15.
 
15.          Waiver.  Either party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of either party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

16.          Specific Performance.  Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by such party, that the other parties may have no adequate remedy at Law and that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any such failure or breach. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights such party may have (whether at Law, in equity or by contract), to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, including an injunction or injunctions to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction described in Section 19, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of establishing that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy.

Each of the parties hereby consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and waives and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or its enforcement brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party, that venue before any such court is improper, that any such court is an inconvenient forum, or that such legal action or proceeding should be transferred from any such court for any other reason.
 
20.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by means of facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) signature pages), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, electronic mail or other electronic transmission, shall be treated in all respects as an original contract and shall have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
