(b) The Company and the Stockholders agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, when any of the Stockholders (in their capacity as Stockholders) takes any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent, such Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to consider the interests of the Company or the other Stockholders or any other stockholders of the Company and may act exclusively in its and its Affiliates own interests; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the Parties to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.11. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle (whether of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that might refer the governance or the construction of this Agreement to the law of another jurisdiction.
Section 4.12. Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Each Party hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 4.10 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement.
Section 4.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES 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 ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. The Company or any Stockholder may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 4.13 with any court as written evidence of the consent of any of the Parties to the waiver of their rights to trial by jury.
Section 4.14. Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure the money damages that would be suffered if the Parties fail to comply with any of the obligations imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Party will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Each Party shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity) to seek injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
Section 4.15. Marketing Materials. The Company grants each of the Investors and their respective Affiliates permission to use the Company’s name and logo in marketing materials of such Investor or any of its Affiliates. The Investors and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall include a trademark attribution notice giving notice of the Company’s ownership of its trademarks in the marketing materials in which the Company’s name and logo appear.
Section 4.16. Notice of Events. Except as otherwise would require early disclosure under applicable law or regulation, unless the applicable Investor notifies the Company that it does not want to receive information pursuant to this Section 4.16, the Company shall notify
each of the Investor on a reasonably current basis, of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any criminal or regulatory investigation or action involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and shall reasonably cooperate with such Investor and its Affiliates in efforts to mitigate any adverse consequences to such Investor or its Affiliates which may arise (including by coordinating and providing assistance in meeting with regulators).
Section 4.17. Adjustments. All references in this Agreement to Company Shares shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, reorganizations and the like occurring after the date hereof.
Section 4.18. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.2 and as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person, except for the Parties, any rights or remedies hereunder.
