supplemented, and no waivers of or consents to departures from the provisions
hereof shall be effective, unless set forth in a writing signed by, and
delivered to, all the parties hereto. No failure or delay of any party in
exercising any power or right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver
thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other right or
power.
16
13. Binding Agreement; Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth herein
and by operation of law, no party to this Agreement may assign or delegate all
or any portion of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of each other party to this Agreement. Nothing
expressed or implied herein is intended or will be construed to confer upon or
to give to any third party any rights or remedies by virtue hereof.
14. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Equitable Relief.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that
might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law).
(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents and
agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding by it against any of the other
parties with respect to its rights, obligations or liabilities under or arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought by such party only
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, in
the event (but only in the event) such court does not have subject matter
jurisdiction over such action, suit or proceeding, in the courts of the State of
New York sitting in New York City, and each party to this Agreement hereby
irrevocably accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid
courts in personam, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding
(including, without limitation, claims for interim relief, counterclaims,
actions with multiple defendants and actions in which such party is implied).
Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right that it may
have to a jury trial in any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to, or
arising out of or in connection with this agreement. Each party hereto expressly
acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the
laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America. Each of the
parties hereby irrevocably designates CT Corporation System (the "Process
Agent"), with an office at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its
designee, appointee and agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of
process in such jurisdiction in any legal action or proceedings with respect to
this Agreement, and such service shall be deemed complete upon delivery thereof
to the Process Agent, provided, that in case of any such service upon such
person, the party effecting such service shall also deliver a copy thereof to
the intended recipient in the manner provided in Section 11. Each of the parties
shall take all such action as may be necessary to continue said appointment in
full force and effect or to appoint another agent so that each party will at all
times have an agent for service of process for the above purposes in New York,
New York. Innova hereby agrees to pay, or reimburse each other party, for any
costs or expenses incurred in connection with such appointment. In the event of
the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the
Process Agent to any other corporation by consolidation, merger,
17
sale of assets or otherwise, such other corporation shall be substituted
hereunder for the process agent with the same effect as if named herein in place
of the Process Agent. Each of the parties further irrevocably consents to the
service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing copies thereof by registered airmail, postage prepaid,
to such party at its address set forth in this agreement, such service of
process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail.
Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other
manner permitted by applicable laws.
(c) Each party hereto agrees that money damages would not
be a sufficient remedy for the other parties hereto for any breach of this
Agreement by it, and that in addition to all other remedies the other parties
hereto may have, they shall be entitled to specific performance and to
injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Each party
hereto agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court
determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
15. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision hereof in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder hereof in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto
waives any provision of applicable law that renders any provision hereof
prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of this Agreement
is held to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than
voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties to this
Agreement to the extent possible.
16. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and will not affect the construction of any provisions hereof.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an
original but all of which will constitute one and the same Agreement.
18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
contained herein, provided, that this provision shall not abrogate any other
written agreement between the parties hereto executed simultaneously with this
Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
18
