Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this

 

6


Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of the Requirements of Law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, provided, that Buyer may assign its rights hereunder (in whole or from time to time in part) to an Affiliate of Buyer. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 5.4. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may only be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 5.5. Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered or sent if delivered in person or sent by email transmission (provided confirmation of email transmission is obtained) or (ii) on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, in each case, to Buyer in accordance with Section 13.3 of the Purchase Agreement and to the Shareholder at his address set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

Section 5.6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Requirements of Law or conflict of Requirements of Law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Requirements of Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided that if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any such Proceeding will be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any other court of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such Proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 5.5 will be deemed effective service of process on such party.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 5.7. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

(b) Each party further agrees that (x) it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and (y) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 5.7, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 5.8. Counterparts; Effectiveness.

Section 5.9. Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

 

8


Section 5.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 5.11. Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive to any other remedy conferred by this Agreement, or by applicable Requirements of Law on such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Section 5.12. Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be 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 shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms.

(b) Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.13. Publication. The Shareholder hereby permits Buyer to publish and disclose in any documents or schedules required to be filed with the SEC and any other disclosures or filings required by applicable Requirements of Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shareholder’s Parent Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.14. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Buyer any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Parent Shares and all ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Parent Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the applicable Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall not have any authority to direct any Shareholder in the voting or disposition of any Parent Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder shall be entitled to any dividends or other distributions declared by Parent with respect to the Shareholder’s Parent Shares.
