Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation, declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body or any other Person not a party to this Agreement necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and its Ancillary Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby has been obtained or made and is in full force and effect.

The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and each of its Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or give any Person any additional right (including a termination right) under, permit cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon, or result in or constitute a circumstance which, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute any of the foregoing, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of its properties is bound, or of its Organizational Documents or any law, order, rule or regulation judgment, order, writ or decree applicable to Seller of any court or of any government, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller or any of its properties or assets, except to the extent the same would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Accredited Investor; Investment Intent. Seller is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Any Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim at its own expense and with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party unless the judgment or proposed settlement: (a) involves only the payment of money damages (all of which will be paid by the Indemnifying Party); (b) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party; (c) does not include the admittance of any fault; (d) involves a dismissal of the underlying claim without prejudice (if applicable); (e) includes a full release by the plaintiff or claimant of all Indemnified Parties from any Liability; and (f) includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter is prohibited from disclosing publicly any information regarding the Third-Party Claim or such relief without the Indemnified Party’s prior consent.

If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

The Indemnified Party and its counsel may participate in the defense of a Third-Party Claim even if the Indemnifying Party chooses to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim, but in such case the expenses of the Indemnified Party’s additional counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.

Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price. If, contrary to the intent of the Parties as expressed in the preceding sentence, any payment made pursuant to this Article 8 is treated as taxable income of an Indemnified Party, then, subject to the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from any Liability for additional Taxes attributable to the receipt of such payment.

Remedies; Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 9.13, except in the case of fraud, willful misrepresentation and willful breach, the rights and remedies under this Article 8 are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies that the Seller Indemnified Parties may have against Buyer or the Buyer Indemnified Parties may have against Seller under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Company or any breach of any representation or warranty or any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement. Seller and Buyer expressly waive any and all other rights, remedies and causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against Buyer and Seller, respectively, now or in the future under any Law with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The remedies expressly provided in this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive basis for and means of recourse between Seller and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of Article 8.

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Party notice in the manner herein set forth.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such Party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that it: (a) understands and has considered the implications of this waiver; (b) makes this waiver voluntarily; and (c) has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver in this Section 9.8.

Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Party. No waiver by any party of any condition or provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such a waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder, or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer, and each Party agrees to file all necessary documentation (including all Tax Returns) with respect to such Transfer Taxes in a timely manner, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Further Assurances. After the Closing Date, Seller shall, from time to time at Buyer’s request and expense, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer or other documents, and perform such further acts and obtain such further consents, as Buyer may reasonably require in order to fully effect the conveyance and transfer to Buyer or its designees of the Purchased Interests, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the failure of Buyer or Seller to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder and in the Ancillary Agreements, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will cause irreparable injury to Seller or Buyer, respectively, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief (without requirement to post any bond or other security) by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of each Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder and the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Buyer or Seller may seek to compel specific performance by Seller or Buyer, respectively, for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if all of the conditions under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date, provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date, or have been waived in whole or in part by Buyer prior to the Outside Date, and Buyer fails to effect the Closing in breach of its obligations hereunder, then (a) Seller shall have been caused irreparable harm, (b) money damages will be inadequate to remedy such harm, and (c) Seller shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to obtain equitable relief, including obtaining an order requiring specific performance by Buyer of the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if all of the conditions under Sections 6.1 and 6.3 (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date, provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date, or have been waived in whole or in part by Seller prior to the Outside Date, and Seller fails to effect the Closing in breach of its obligations hereunder, then (a) Buyer shall have been caused irreparable harm, (b) money damages will be inadequate to remedy such harm, and (c) Buyer shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to obtain equitable relief, including obtaining an order requiring specific performance by Seller of the terms of this Agreement.

Construction.

The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
