Section 6. Specific Performance; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
6.1 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph. Each of the parties further consents and agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, process in any suit, action or proceeding may be served on such party in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement.

No party shall have the right or the power to assign or delegate any provision of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall require the consent of each Majority Investor), in the case of an assignment or delegation by Xxxxxx, or with the prior written consent of Xxxxxx and each Majority Investor, in the case of an assignment or delegation by Xxxxxx. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and in Section 15, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors, assigns, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Special Committee (on behalf the Company) and each of the other parties to the JBA (other than Holder) are each hereby made an express third party beneficiary hereof with full power and authority for purposes of this Section 8, Section 11 and Section 14 (as applicable), as well as to specifically enforce the obligations set forth in this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 against Holder and Parent (which right of specific performance may be sought directly against Holder or indirectly through Parent), including to consummate the Contribution in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 9. Certain Tax Matters. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto shall (a) treat the Contribution and the Cash Equity Capitalization, taken together with certain related transfers of property by the Members and their affiliates in exchange for Parent Common Stock and/or other securities of Parent as a transfer described in Section 351 of the Code that will not result in the recognition of gain or income under Section 367(a)(1) or (b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (other than by a Member that is required to file a “gain recognition agreement” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1) to qualify for such nonrecognition and that fails to properly make such required filing); and (b) file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with such intended tax treatment. Xxxxxx agrees to provide to Parent all information reasonably necessary for Parent to prepare and file Tax Returns with respect to the Contribution, including any information with respect to such Holder described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.351-3(b), if applicable.

Section 10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission (such as by electronic mail in “.pdf” form), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together, shall constitute one and the same document.
Section 11. Entire Agreement. Without limiting the JBA, any ECL delivered by Holder, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement may be amended only in a writing executed by the parties hereto (with the consent of each Majority Investor and the Special Committee (on behalf of the Company)). The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the existence and terms of the JBA shall have no effect on, and in no manner impair or alter, the Company’s rights under this Agreement.
Section 12. No Fiduciary Responsibilities. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall apply to Holder solely in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company and not in any other capacity, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or affect the rights and obligations of Holder or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from taking any action in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company, whether in connection with the Merger Agreement or otherwise, and no action or omissions by any such Persons in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 13. Effect of Adverse Recommendation Change. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the obligations of Holder shall apply whether or not the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) has effected an Adverse Recommendation Change.
Section 14. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual written consent of Parent (with the consent of each Majority Investor), the Special Committee (on behalf of the Company) and Holder, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically, without any action of the parties hereto, upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing, and (b) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement. Upon any such termination, this Agreement shall not have any further force and effect and no party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement, whether in contract or in tort or any other theory of liability whatsoever.
