No Party may assign this Agreement; provided that a Party may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of such Party, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the other Parties if the successor or acquirer agrees in writing to assume all of such Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, further that Gigamoon may assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates at any time without the written consent of the GameSquare Parties.

7.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Releasees in Section 5.1 and Pillsbury in Section 7.16, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

7.12 Survival. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing, and will in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of any Party.

 

7.13 Further Assurances. Each Party will do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as another Party may reasonably request, in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.15 Equitable Relief. Each party recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the other parties.

Each Party acknowledges that Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP (“Pillsbury”), counsel for Gigamoon, may have in the past performed, and may continue to or in the future perform, legal services for FaZe Media in matters that are similar, but not substantially related, to the transactions described in this Agreement, including the representation of FaZe Media in venture capital financings, general corporate matters and other matters. Accordingly, each Party hereby acknowledges that (a) they have had an opportunity to ask for information relevant to this disclosure, and (b) Pillsbury represents only Gigamoon with respect to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties give their informed consent to Pillsbury’s representation of FaZe Media in matters not substantially related to this Agreement.
