(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) all of the outstanding Parent Class A Common Units shall be exchanged for and converted into Parent Series B Preferred Units on a one-for-one basis (for the avoidance of doubt, all Parent Class B Common Units shall remain outstanding) and (ii) New Remedy Corp shall contribute, convey and otherwise assign to Parent, and Parent shall accept, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Remedy Opco, in exchange for 3,384,542.7 newly-issued Parent Series A Preferred Units (the “Exchanged Units”), which such Exchanged Units shall be issued by Parent to New Remedy Corp at the Closing (the transactions described in this clause (ii) are referred to herein as the “Remedy Exchange”).

Section 9.11 Counsel. Each Party is sophisticated and experienced in transactions like those contemplated by this Agreement and has been represented by its own counsel in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and, consequently, each Party hereby waives the application of any rule of Law that would otherwise be applicable in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement based on one Party (or its counsel) having drafted this Agreement.
Section 9.12 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (INCLUDING THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS.
Section 9.13 Specific Performance and Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions (including the obligation of the Parties to consummate such transactions in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement).
