MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

11.1 Seller Representative.

(a) The Seller Representative is hereby constituted and appointed as exclusive proxy, representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the other Sellers, with full power of substitution, to make all decisions and determinations and to act and execute, deliver and receive all documents, instruments and consents on behalf of and as agent for such Sellers at any time in connection with, and that may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the intent and implement the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller and his or her successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by the Sellers in connection herewith, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, (iv) agree to, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of, assume the defense of claims and comply with Orders with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (v) give and receive notices and communications, (vi) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative on behalf of the Sellers in connection with this Agreement, (vii) make any determinations and settle any matters in connection with the adjustments to the Purchase Price in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, and (viii) use the Representative Fund Amount to pay, or establish a reserve for, any costs, fees, expenses and other liabilities incurred by the Seller Representative (in its capacity as such) in connection with this Agreement and its obligations hereunder. By executing this Agreement, the Seller Representative accepts the appointment, authority and power contemplated by this Section 11.1.

(b) Such agency may be changed by the Seller Representative from time to time upon not less than five (5) days prior written notice to Buyer (so long as such change is reasonably acceptable to Buyer). The Seller Representative, or any successor hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by written notice to Buyer. Such written notice to the Buyer shall include the Seller Representative’s appointment of a successor (and such successor shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer). All power, authority, rights and privileges conferred in this Agreement to the Seller Representative will apply to any successor Seller Representative.

(c) The Seller Representative will not be liable for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as Seller Representative while acting in good faith, and any act taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Seller Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Company (pre-Closing) or the Sellers and the Seller Representative will not look to Buyer or, post-Closing, the Company for any of the Sellers’ indemnification obligations hereunder. In performing any of its duties under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, the Seller Representative will not be liable to the Sellers for any losses any that such Person may incur as a result of any act, or failure to act, by the Seller Representative under this Agreement or any agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, and the Seller Representative will be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers for all losses, except to the extent that the actions or omissions of the Seller Representative were taken or omitted not in good faith. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Seller Representative.

(d) The appointment of the Seller Representative is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked in whole or in part (including, without limitation, upon the death or incapacity of any Seller). Such appointment shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, estates, personal representatives, officers, directors, security holders, successors and assigns of each Seller. All decisions of the Seller Representative shall be final and binding on all of the Sellers and no securityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication from the Seller Representative and any document executed by the Seller Representative on behalf of any Seller and shall be fully protected in connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon.

11.2 Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting, broker, finder or investment banker fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are to be paid, in the case of the Company, by the Company (if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated), or will be treated as Selling Expenses (if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated) to the extent unpaid at the Closing, in the case of Buyer, by Buyer, and in the case of each Seller, by such Seller.

11.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but is not assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, Buyer may, without consent, assign all such rights to any Person that controls, is controlled by or under common control with Buyer or to any entity that acquires substantially all of the assets of Buyer or survives any merger with Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.4 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section ‎7.5 and the rights of the Indemnitees under Article X (which is intended to be for the benefit of the parties indemnified thereby and may be enforced by such parties), each party hereto intends that this Agreement does not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than the parties hereto.

11.5 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute such further instruments and take such further actions as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Each party hereto shall cooperate affirmatively with the other parties, to the extent reasonably requested by such other parties, to enforce rights and obligations herein provided.

11.7 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and exhibits and schedules hereto and the other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect thereto.

11.8 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

11.9 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Seller Representative and Buyer.

11.10 Waiver. The Seller Representative or Buyer may (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (b) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Any agreement to any such waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers if the Sellers are making the waiver, or Buyer. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

11.11 Conflict of Interest. If the Sellers or the Seller Representative so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇ Day is permitted to represent the Sellers and/or the Seller Representative after the Closing in connection with any matter, including without limitation anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇ Day is permitted to represent the Sellers, the Seller Representative, any of their agents and affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (“dispute” includes litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Buyer, the Company or, any Subsidiary any of their respective agents or affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims for indemnification and disputes involving employment or noncompetition or other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement. Upon and after the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, unless and to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇ Day is specifically engaged in writing by the Company or any Subsidiary to represent the Company or any Subsidiary after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to Sellers or the Seller Representative or the Sellers, or the Seller Representative (as applicable) consent in writing at the time to such engagement.

11.12 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Without limiting the procedures expressly set forth in Sections 2.3 or 2.4, in any action between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (a) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Delaware; (b) if any such action is commenced in a state court, then, subject to applicable law, no party shall object to the removal of such action to any federal court located in Delaware; (c) each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury; and (d) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 11.6.

11.13 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

11.14 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by facsimile or email transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

11.15 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

11.16 Construction.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.

(b) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
