(e) Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the parties hereto agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.

(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof).

(h) Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.

(i) Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may waive any condition to their obligations contained herein.

(j) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) an agreement in writing of Buyer Parent and the Shareholder to terminate this Agreement. Termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any intentional breach of its obligations hereunder committed prior to such termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties, and all representations and warranties of the parties, shall terminate.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Buyer Parent and the Shareholder have executed this Conversion Agreement as of the date first above written.
