In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party will allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The Parties hereto further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 4.10, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such Party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 4.10 shall require any Party hereto to institute any action for (or limit such Party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 4.10 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

4.11 No Waiver. The failure of any Party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other Party hereto with such Party’s obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the Parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of such Party’s right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

4.12 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely therein without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

4.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if such Court does not have jurisdiction of the dispute, other state or federal courts in Delaware, including any appellate courts thereof (the “Delaware Courts”), for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise). Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceedings brought in the Delaware Courts. With respect to any such proceeding, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court (a) that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with applicable Law, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts or from any legal process commenced in the Delaware Courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by the Delaware Courts. Each Party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.8.

4.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NEITHER THE OTHER PARTY HERETO NOR ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY HERETO UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY HERETO MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HERETO HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.14. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Except for the representations and warranties of the Investor set forth in Sections 3.2(a), 3.2(c) and 3.2(d), which shall survive the Purchase Closing indefinitely, none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Purchase Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to Section 4.1. Each of Parent and Purchaser has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the businesses, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries and acknowledges that each of Parent and Purchaser has been provided access to the properties, premises and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries for this purpose. In entering into this Agreement, (a) each of Parent and Purchaser acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of the Investor expressly set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Investor nor any of its Representatives makes any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the Investor, the Company or its Subsidiaries or as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Parent or Purchaser or any of their Representatives and (b) the Investor acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of the Parent and Purchaser expressly set forth in Section 3.1, neither Parent, Purchaser nor any of their respective Representatives makes any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to Parent or Purchaser or as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to the Investor or any of its Representatives.

4.19 No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed, upon execution, to vest in Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Covered Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Investor, and Purchaser shall have no authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Investor in the voting of any of the Covered Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

4.20 Integration; Parties in Interest. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person, other than the Parties hereto, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature.

4.21 No Recourse. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as Parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein. No former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents, Affiliates or assignees of Parent, Purchaser, the Investor or of any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, controlling person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, Affiliate, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or liabilities of Parent, Purchaser or the Investor under this Agreement or of or for any action, suit, arbitration, claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate such transactions), in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable laws or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a Party hereto or another Person or otherwise.
