Miscellaneous.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (provided however,
that nothing contained herein shall be construed as authorizing any party to
assign any rights hereunder or instruments described herein except as expressly
provided herein). This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be amended, modified or
terminated except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto.
In the event any party commences any action or proceeding to enforce its rights
hereunder, the prevailing party or parties in any such action shall be entitled
to recover all of their costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees,
incurred in connection therewith from the non-prevailing party or parties, both
in connection with the original action relating thereto and any and all appeals
therefrom. No party shall be construed as having waived any of its rights
hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by the party against
whom such waiver is being sought. Neither the failure of any party to exercise
any power given such party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by any
other party with its obligations hereunder, nor any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of any
party's right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. This Agreement
shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Florida.
Actions brought to enforce this Agreement may be brought only in the local
courts of Palm Beach County, Florida or the federal courts serving Palm Beach
County, Florida and all parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. The
parties agree that this Agreement is the result of negotiation by the parties,
each of whom was represented by counsel, and thus, this Agreement shall not be
construed against the drafter thereof. No representations, inducements, promises
or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof not embodied herein or incorporated herein by reference shall be
of any force or effect. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which,
when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Time
shall be of the essence of this Agreement and each and every term and condition
hereof. All references herein to the singular shall include plural, and all
references herein to the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter
genders, and vice versa.
