MISCELLANEOUS.
|
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The parties hereby agree that they have chosen that all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the exhibit attached hereto supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Holders, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters contained herein, including all agreements the Holders have entered into with the Company or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and this Agreement and exhibit attached hereto contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor the Holders makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holders, provided that any party may give a waiver in writing as to itself.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
(f) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing but only for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing and thereafter shall expire and have no further force and effect.
(g) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
