The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the control and defense of any such action (including, but without limitation, tax audits), provided that the Indemnitee may participate in the defense of such action subject to the Indemnitor's reasonable direction and at Indemnitee's sole cost and expense. The party contesting any such claim shall be furnished all reasonable assistance in connection therewith by the other party and be given full access to all information relevant thereto. In no event shall any such claim be settled without the Indemnitor's consent.

Section 8.2 Confidentiality.
(a) The Parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another Person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless (i) such information is already known to such Party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such Party; (ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any required filing with the SEC, or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

If, in the absence of a protective Order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the providing party, the disclosing party is nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel, legally compelled to disclose the information of the providing party, the disclosing party may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the providing party’s information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the disclosing party exercises its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the providing party’s information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the providing party to obtain an appropriate protective Order or other relief assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the providing party’s information.
(c) If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, each Party will return or destroy all of such written information each party has regarding the other Parties.

Section 8.5 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Parties; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.
Section 8.6 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such amendment is sought.
Section 8.7 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights. No Party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
26
Section 8.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
Section 8.9 Section Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Article” or “Articles” or “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Article or Articles or Section or Sections of this Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise.
Section 8.10 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 statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of such representation, warranty, or covenant. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.
Section 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic delivery, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile, electronic copy, or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
27
Section 8.12 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Attorneys’ Fees. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of Laws principles. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.3 above. Nothing in this Section 8.3, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity. In any action brought to interpret to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover all cost related thereto from the non-prevailing Party or Parties, including attorneys’ fees and costs at both the trial and appellate levels.
Section 8.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WANES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
