7.5. Independent Nature of Shareholders’ Obligations and Rights.
The obligations of each Shareholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Shareholder, and no Shareholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Shareholder under this Agreement. The decision of each Shareholder to acquire the Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Shareholder independently of any other Shareholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Shareholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Shareholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Shareholder acknowledges that no other Shareholder has acted as agent for such Shareholder in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Shareholder will be acting as agent of such Shareholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Shareholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

7.6. Limitation of Liability.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Gotham and Oxys acknowledges and agrees that the liability of a Shareholder arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Shareholder, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of such Shareholder or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Shareholder shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Shareholder.

7.7. Interpretation.
When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
7.8. Severability.
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.
7.10. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement, taken together with the Oxys Disclosure Letter and the other agreements and documents referred to herein, (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.
