MISCELLANEOUS
Section 5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any conflicts or choice of law provisions that would cause the application of the substantive domestic laws of any other jurisdiction).
Section 5.2 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach hereof, shall be settled solely by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 5.2. The arbitration proceeding shall be located in Wilmington, Delaware. Within 14 days after the commencement of arbitration, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall each select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within 10 days of their appointment.

Any award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over the losing party or its or his assets, to the extent permitted by the law

of such jurisdiction. The parties to any arbitration hereby expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America for the sole purpose of enforcing, modifying or vacating arbitral awards and for disputes that are removed from the arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. Each party hereto agrees that any and all proceedings, notices and documents so served shall have been properly served upon such party within the State of Delaware and that such service shall thereby confer personal jurisdiction upon such party.
Section 5.3 Cumulative Remedies; Failure to Pursue Remedies.

Except where a time period is specified, no delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

Section 5.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. The rights and obligations set forth herein may not be assigned or delegated by the Sellers, and may be assigned or delegated by the Buyer to any person. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
