Section 6.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, the court making such holding is expressly authorized to modify such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision in lieu of severing such provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting such provision, deleting any or all of such provision, adding additional language to this Agreement or by making any other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the Parties as embodied in this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be valid, legal or enforceable only if modified, or if any portion of this Agreement shall be held as invalid, illegal or unenforceable and thus stricken, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue to
11
be binding on the Parties with any such modification to become a part hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement.
Section 6.11 Construction. The definitions given for terms in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.

The words “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereby” or words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to a particular section, subsection, clause or other subdivision of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires.
Section 6.12 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Party could not be made whole by monetary damages in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the other Party in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in any such event, the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof in an action instituted in any court of the State of New York having subject matter jurisdiction in respect thereof, and the Parties further hereby agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the obtaining of such injunctive or other equitable relief.
Section 6.13 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive for the later of (a) the four year anniversary of the Effective Time or (b) the applicable statute of limitations. The rights of the Purchaser to any remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any document delivered with respect hereto or thereto shall not be impacted or limited by any knowledge that the Purchaser may have acquired, or could have acquired, whether before or after the Effective Time, nor by any investigation or diligence by the Purchaser. The Sellers hereby acknowledge that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of the Purchaser, and regardless of the results of any such investigation, the Purchaser has entered into this transaction in express reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Sellers made in this Agreement.
