Section 7.5    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by e-mail of a .pdf attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.6    Integrated Contract; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits hereto, and the Ancillary Agreements, including the schedules and exhibits thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such matters. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements or undertakings of any party hereto with respect to the Transactions other than those set forth herein or in an Ancillary Agreement or in any other document required to be executed and delivered hereunder or thereunder. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits hereto), on the one hand, and the provisions of the Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 

Section 7.7   Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. The parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, the parties are entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement (including the taking of such actions as are required of a party hereunder to consummate the Transactions), prior to, at and following the Closing. No party will oppose the granting of such relief, and each party shall waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such relief.

Section 7.8   Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 7.9    Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and its Exhibits and Schedules and all of the Transactions, including validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom or related thereto.

 

Section 7.10  Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, each of the parties knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal courts of New York County, New York and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum. Any party may make service on another 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 7.4.

 

Section 7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 7.12  Amendments. Subject to Article VI, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Units purchased hereunder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each holder of any Units purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such Units, and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such amendment or waiver would adversely and disproportionately affect any Purchaser in a manner different than the Purchaser voting in favor thereof, for a reason other than a difference in the amount or percentage of Units beneficially owned by such Purchaser, such amendment or waiver will also require the prior written approval of the holders of a majority of the Units purchased by the Purchaser(s) so adversely and disproportionately affected.
