13.12 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires: (i) the meaning assigned to each term defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of
-13-
such term and vice versa, and words denoting any gender will include all genders as the context requires; (ii) where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms will have a corresponding meaning; (iii) the terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereby” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iv) when a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section without reference to a document, such reference is to a Section to this Agreement; (v) a reference to a subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule will also apply to paragraphs and other subdivisions; (vi) the word “include”, “includes” or “including” when used in this Agreement will be deemed to include the words “without limitation”, unless otherwise specified; (vii) a reference to any party to this Agreement or any other agreement or document will include such party’s predecessors, successors and permitted assigns; (viii) a reference to any Law means such Law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (ix) all accounting terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP; (x) any references in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars; and (xi) the word “Subsidiary” when used in this Agreement will be deemed to include a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a Person.
13.13 Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall insure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto. Any such purported assignment, delegation or other transfer made without such prior written consent will be null and void.
13.14 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
13.15 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
13.16 Governing Law. This Agreement will be deemed to be made in and in all respects will be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
-14-
13.17 Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without further action by any of the parties hereto as of the Expiration Time. Upon termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful and material misrepresentation or willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
