statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith contains
any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary

circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact known to the Company

Company that would, in its opinion, require the Company to revise in any
material respect the Investor Materials or the assumptions underlying the
projections or any other information contained therein.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Agreement,
and
in each case to reimburse such Investor Indemnitee for all such amounts as
they
are incurred by the Investor. The existence of any breach or representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement and the amount of Losses incurred or suffered
arising out of such breach shall be determined without regard to any
qualification or exception relating to materiality.
(b) Promptly
after receipt by any Investor Indemnitee of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstance that would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of
any
suit, action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may
be
sought pursuant to Section 6.1(a), such Investor Indemnitee shall give notice
thereof to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to give
prompt notice to the Company will not relieve the Company from liability, except
to the extent such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. The
Company may, at the request of the Investor Indemnitee, participate in and
control the defense of any such suit, action or proceeding at its own expense.
It is understood that in any such suit, action or proceeding, the Investor
Indemnitee has the right to retain its own counsel but that the Company shall
not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm
(in
addition to any local counsel) for all Investor Indemnitees; provided,
that any
Investor Indemnitee seeking indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(ii) may assume
the defense of any such suit, action or proceeding thereunder if the Investor
Indemnitee reasonably determines that the Company is not adequately representing
or, because of a potential or actual conflict of interest, may not adequately
represent, the interests of the Investor Indemnitee.
6.2 Survival.
The
warranties, representations and covenants contained in or made pursuant to
this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing;
provided,
however,
that any
warranty, representation or covenant relating to tax or environmental matters
shall survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations for such
matters under applicable law. The warranties, representations and covenants
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall in no way be affected
by
any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the
Investor, the Company or the Founders.
6.3 Successors
and Assigns.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the parties (including transferees of any Investor Limited
Partnership Interests). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto or their
respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
6.4 Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such
state.
6.5 Arbitration.
(a) Any
dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection
with
this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including any question regarding its
existence, validity or termination, or regarding a breach thereof (hereafter,
“dispute”)
shall
be submitted to a representative of each of the parties involved to attempt
to
reach an amicable resolution. A party wishing to initiate consideration of
a
dispute by such representative shall give written notice to the other parties
hereto of the existence of such dispute and of the party’s desire to have such
representative consider the dispute. Such notice shall set forth a brief
description of the nature of the dispute to be considered.
(b) If
a
dispute is not settled within fifteen (15) days after the notice is given to
the
other parties seeking representative consideration of a dispute, such dispute
shall be submitted to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in effect
on
the date of this Agreement (the “Rules”).
A
party wishing to submit a dispute to arbitration shall give written notice
to
such effect to the other parties hereto. The arbitration shall be before a
sole
arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules and this
Agreement.
(c) The
site
of the arbitration shall be Miami, Florida, or such other location as the
parties may mutually agree in writing, any award shall be deemed to have been
made there. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered within 180 days
from its appointment, and shall be final and binding upon all parties. The
award
may be made public only with the written consent of all parties to the
arbitration, provided,
however,
that
any
ruling or award, final or otherwise, may be cited in any subsequent dispute
or
proceeding to enforce such ruling. The arbitrator shall neither have nor
exercise any power to award special, exemplary, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages.
(d) It
is the
intent of the parties that the arbitration proceeding shall be conducted
expeditiously, without initial recourse to the courts and without interlocutory
appeals of the award to the courts. However, if a disputing party refuses to
honor its obligations under this Agreement to arbitrate, any other disputing
party may obtain appropriate relief compelling arbitration in any court having
jurisdiction over the disputing parties; the order compelling arbitration shall
require that the arbitration proceedings take place in Miami, Florida as
specified above. The disputing parties may apply to any court having
jurisdiction for orders requiring witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the
arbitrator. Moreover, the arbitrator’s orders and decisions may be enforced if
necessary by any court having jurisdiction. The award may be confirmed in,
and
judgment upon the award entered by, any court having jurisdiction.
