Section 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, by facsimile or registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties hereto at the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereof (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 8(a)).
(b) Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between each Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an
16
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
(c) Assignment, Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of each Seller and the Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such Seller or the Purchaser); provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more affiliates of the Purchaser without the consent of the Sellers so long as the Purchaser remains liable hereunder. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, each Seller and the Purchaser; provided further, however, that either party to this Agreement may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. The failure of either party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.
(d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
(e) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York. Consistent with the preceding sentence, the parties hereto hereby (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
