SECTION 5.8 Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in
full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
such void or unenforceable provision.
SECTION 5.9 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Jury Waiver. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS LAW,
PROVIDED THAT THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO SUCH PROVISIONS OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF THAT ARE
REQUIRED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW The parties hereto agree that
any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on
any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court
sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and each of the parties
hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate
appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (as defined in the
Investment Agreement), any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or
that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or
without the jurisdiction of any such court.
SECTION 5.10 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and
the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have
been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement
may be executed by facsimile, and a facsimile signature shall have the same
force and effect as an original signature on this Agreement. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 5.11 Independent Nature of Stockholders' Obligations and
Rights. The obligations of each Stockholder this Agreement are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Stockholder, and no Stockholder shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Stockholder under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any party hereto pursuant thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute any Stockholder as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of
14
entity with any other Stockholder, or create a presumption that the Stockholders
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations
or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Stockholder
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including
without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Stockholder
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each
Stockholder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their
review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
SECTION 5.12 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all of its rights hereunder, including
recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights
under this Agreement. Each party agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
SECTION 5.13 No Violations. Each of the parties hereto agree that no
party hereto shall be obligated to comply with any provisions of this Agreement
relating to the voting of shares of capital stock of the Company if doing so
would constitute a violation of law or public policy.
