(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought and determined in the competent courts in the State of New York. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in New York, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree, or award rendered by any such court in New York as described herein. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein will constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in New York as described herein for any reason; (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (iii) that (A) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Action is improper, or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 6.10 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in Section 6.9, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 6.12 Announcements. No announcements regarding the Transactions (including the subject matter of this Agreement) shall be issued by Investor without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except to the extent that any such announcements are required by Law, a court of competent jurisdiction, a regulatory body or international stock exchange, and then only after the form and terms of such disclosure have been notified to Parent and the Company and each of Parent and the Company have had a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon to the extent legally permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may make any Investor Filing in respect of the Company that Investor reasonably believes is required under applicable Law without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company, provided that Investor shall comply with Section 4.5 with respect to any such Investor Filing.

Section 6.15 Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Investor makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Investor’s capacity as a record holder and Beneficial Owner of the Owned Securities, and not in Shareholder’s capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, if applicable, (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit any action or inaction by Investor or any Representative of Investor, as applicable, serving on the board of directors of the Company or the governing body of any Company Subsidiary or as an officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and (c) no exercise of fiduciary duties or action or inaction taken in such capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including, but not limited to, any action or inaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in such capacity as a director and/or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in and of itself will be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
