ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Representations and Warranties. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership. To the Holder’s knowledge, the Holder has, with respect to the Existing Shares, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to have, beneficial ownership of, good and valid title to and full and exclusive power to deliver written consents, vote, issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article II, agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and to Transfer the Shares. The Existing Shares constitute all of the Company Shares owned of record or beneficially by the Holder as of the date hereof. Other than this Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Holder is a party presently obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any person any of the Shares, and no person presently has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Shares.

(b) Organization; Authority. If the Holder is an entity, the Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. The Holder is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Holder’s certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement or comparable organizational documents, as applicable. The Holder has full power and authority and is duly authorized to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any statutory law; (ii) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its affiliates; or (iii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its affiliates is a party or any term or condition of its certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement or comparable organizational documents, as applicable, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder will not, require the Holder or any of its affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any person or governmental Authority, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act and under the Holder’s organizational documents.

ARTICLE V

(b) Each party agrees that it will bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court, and, solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the aforesaid courts, (iii) waives any objection that the aforesaid courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding will be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 5.6.

5.12 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. 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 assigns.

5.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the Holder’s obligation to deliver the Shareholder Written Consent), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

5.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

5.15 Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
