JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREOF.
8.5 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements
and understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof. No representation, promise, inducement, waiver of rights,
agreement or statement of intention has been made by any of the parties which is
not expressly embodied in this Agreement.
8.6 Assignment. Each
party's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be assigned or
delegated, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party's prior
written consent, and any such assignment or attempted assignment shall be void,
of no force or effect, and shall constitute a material default by such
party.
11
8.7 Amendments. This
Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or cancelled, and any of the
terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be
waived, only by a written instrument executed by the Company, the Purchasers and
the Agent.
8.8 Waivers. The
failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any
provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce
the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or the breach of
any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement,
whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to
be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or
breach or a waiver of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of
this Agreement.
8.9 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts and by
facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
8.10 Severability. If
any term, provisions, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order
that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally
contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
8.11 Interpretation. The
parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and
equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore
shall not be construed against a party or parties on the ground that such party
or parties drafted or was more responsible for the drafting of any such
provision(s). The parties further agree that they have each carefully read the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, that they know and understand the
contents and effect of this Agreement and that the legal effect of this
Agreement has been fully explained to its satisfaction by counsel of its own
choosing or that such party has waived its right to independent
counsel.
8.11 No Seller
Group. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Sellers are
not acting as a group and that each Seller had independently based on its own
evaluation decided to enter into this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein.
