8.8 Governing Law; Injunctive Relief.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal and substantive laws of the State of California and without regard to any conflicts of laws concepts which would apply the substantive law of some other jurisdiction. Venue for all purposes hereunder shall be in the applicable state or federal court located within the State of California.
(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that damages will not be an adequate remedy for any material breach or violation of this Agreement if such material breach or violation would cause immediate and irreparable harm (an “Irreparable Breach”). Accordingly, in the event of a threatened or ongoing Irreparable Breach, each party hereto shall be entitled to seek, equitable relief of a kind appropriate in light of the nature of the ongoing or threatened Irreparable Breach, which relief may include, without limitation, specific performance or injunctive relief; provided, however, that if the party bringing such action is unsuccessful in obtaining the relief sought, the moving party shall pay the non-moving party’s reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with defending such action.

Any such amendment, waiver or termination effected in accordance with this Section 8.9 shall be binding upon the Company, each Purchaser and each transferee of any of the Securities. Each Purchaser acknowledges that by the operation of this Section 8.9, the Majority Purchasers will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate certain rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, entity or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights hereunder, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose except to the extent of any amendment, waiver or termination in accordance with Section 8.9 above. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and forms of Operative Agreements for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the Securities or the Operative Agreements.
8.11 Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.
8.12 Expenses. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement.
8.13 Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the authorized successors and permitted assigns of each party.

In the event of any assignment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee shall specifically assume and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement by executing and agreeing to an assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to the other party.
8.14 Survival. The respective representations and warranties given by the parties hereto, and the other covenants and agreements contained herein, shall survive the Closing Date and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein for a period of one year, without regard to any investigation made by any party.
8.15 Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
