(d) Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the parties hereto, any right or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement
(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction. Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 7(f).
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and voluntarily waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any action, suit or proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h) Assignment. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties and any such transfer without prior written consent shall be void; provided that this Agreement and all of the Holder’s rights and obligations hereunder may be transferred or assigned (each, a “Transfer”), at any time and from time to time, to one or more affiliates of the Holder, in related or unrelated transactions; provided, further, that this Agreement and all of the XX Xxxxxx’x rights and obligations hereunder may be Transferred, at any time and from time to time, to one or more entities owned solely by the XX Xxxxxx and/or his immediate family members, in related or unrelated transactions; provided, further, that, prior to any such Transfer, the applicable transferee shall execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to the non-transferring parties, to each of the non-transferring parties pursuant to which such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if an original party hereto; provided, further, that no such Transfer will relieve any such transferor’s obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(i) Publicity.
(i) All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the applicable Closing be subject to the prior mutual approval of the XX Xxxxxx, the Holder and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by any party; provided that no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 7(i)(i) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 7(i).
(ii) The restriction in Section 7(i)(i) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties in advance as to its form, content and timing. Disclosures resulting from the parties’ efforts to obtain approval or early termination under the HSR Act and to make any relating filing shall be deemed not to violate this Section 7(i).
(j) Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(k) Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.
(l) Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and any express guarantor of any such party’s obligations hereunder and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any party for liability with respect to fraud.
(m) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party shall be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.
(n) HSR Filing. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Holder, XX Xxxxxx and the Company shall (and, to the extent required, shall cause its Affiliates to) comply promptly but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof with the notification and reporting requirements of the HSR Act (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Each of Holder, XX Xxxxxx and the Company shall substantially comply with any Antitrust Information or Document Requests (in each case, as defined in the Merger Agreement).
