The quorum at such adjourned meeting

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT

5.1 General. The Company hereby grants to each Investor a pre-emptive right to purchase up to its pro rata share of any New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell, offer or issue. An Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes of the pre-emptive right under this Section 5, shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares directly or indirectly held by such Investor and its Permitted Transferee(s) on the date of the Issuance Notice and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Shares directly or indirectly held by all Investors and their Permitted Transferee(s) on the date of the Issuance Notice.

5.2 Procedures.

(a) If the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities after the date hereof, the Company shall give each Investor written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of such intention, which shall include: (i) the type and class of New Securities; (ii) the number of such New Securities to be issued; (iii) the per share price of such New Securities; (iv) each Investor’s pro rata share of the New Securities as determined pursuant to Section 5.1; and (v) the other material terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Investor shall have the right to purchase up to such Investor’s pro rata share of such New Securities (as determined pursuant to Section 5.1) at the price per share and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice and shall have ten (10) days after the Issuance Notice is received (the “Pre-Emptive Period”) to agree to such purchase by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. If, at the expiration date of the Pre-Emptive Period, any Investor has not exercised its right to purchase any of its pro rata share of such New Securities, such Investor shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 5 with respect to, and only with respect to, the purchase of such New Securities specified in such Issuance Notice.

(b) If any Investor fails to exercise its pre-emptive right or elects to exercise such right with respect to less than such Investor’s pro rata share of such New Securities (as determined pursuant to Section 5.1), the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the end of the Pre-Emptive Period, make such adjustments to the allotment of each Investor who has exercised its pre-emptive right for its full pro rata share of such New Securities (a “Fully Participating Investor”) so that any remaining New Securities may be allocated to such Fully Participating Investors on a pro rata basis based on the shareholding in the Company of such Fully Participating Investors or as may be otherwise agreed among such Fully Participating Investors and notify such Fully Participating Investors in writing of their rights to subscribe for such remaining New Securities. Each Fully Participating Investor shall have a period of five (5) Business Days after the end of the Pre-Emptive Period to notify the Company of the number of remaining New Securities it wishes to subscribe for, if any (such fifth (5th) Business Day being the “Final Pre-Emptive Date”).

(c) At the closing of such issuance of New Securities (which shall occur within five (5) Business Days after the Final Pre-Emptive Date), the Company shall (i) allot and issue the applicable New Securities to each Investor exercising pre-emptive rights pursuant to this Section 5, (ii) enter each

such Investor’s name in the register of members to reflect it as the owner of such New Securities (and within one (1) Business Day thereafter deliver a certified true copy thereof to such Investor), and (iii) if such New Securities are represented by certificates, issue and deliver certificates representing such New Securities to such Investor, in each case against payment by such Investor of the purchase price for such New Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice.

5.3 Sales by the Company. For a period of sixty (60) days after the Final Pre-Emptive Date (not inclusive), the Company may sell any New Securities with respect to which the Investors’ pre-emptive rights under this Section 5 were not exercised, at the same price per share and upon terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice; provided that the purchaser (if not already a Shareholder and a Party to this Agreement) must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by signing an adherence agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, in which case such purchaser shall be considered a Shareholder and a Party to this Agreement. If the Company has not sold such New Securities within such sixty (60) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such New Securities to the Investors in the manner provided in Section 5.2 hereof.

No Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares or any right, title or interest therein or thereto unless (a) the Transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by signing an adherence agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A in which case such transferee shall be considered a Shareholder and a Party to this Agreement, except when such transferee is already a Party to this Agreement or such Transfer is a pledge of Shares by a Shareholder as part of a bona fide financing arrangement entered into or with a reputable commercial lender or financial institution, in connection with the extension or maintenance of credit and on arms-length market terms, (b) the Transfer complies in all respects with this Agreement and the Company’s Organizational Documents and (c) the Transfer complies in all respects with applicable Law.

6.2 Permitted Transfers.

(a) The restrictions set forth in Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 shall not apply to any Transfer by a Shareholder to its Permitted Transferee(s); provided that if any Permitted Transferee holding Shares Transferred to it by a Shareholder pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall no longer qualify as a Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder, the ownership of such Shares shall be deemed to have automatically reverted to such Shareholder, such Permitted Transferee shall promptly return the Shares to such Shareholder or to another Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder in accordance with such Shareholder’s instruction, and such Shareholder shall take all actions necessary to promptly effect, and promptly notify the Company and the other Shareholders of, such return of Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expiration of the Restricted Period shall be tolled in the event that the Company has commenced and is continuing to pursue an IPO or Trade Sale; provided that upon the death, resignation or removal for Cause or disability (pursuant to the then-effective employment agreement of such Key Person or by action of the Shareholder that designated the Key Person) of any Key Person, (i) the Restricted Period shall be deemed to have immediately terminated and this Section 6.3(b) shall be of no further force and effect, and (ii) the Shareholders shall engage in good faith discussions regarding whether to cause the Company to commence a Trade Sale.

6.4 Right of First Refusal.

(a) If after the expiration of the Restricted Period and prior to the consummation of an IPO or Trade Sale, any Shareholder wishes to effect a Transfer (the “Transferring Shareholder”) of all or part of its Shares in the Company, other than to a Permitted Transferee, then prior to entering into any transaction, commitment or arrangement with any potential acquiror of such Shares of the Company (a “Buyer”), the Transferring Shareholder shall deliver to the Specified Investors (excluding the Transferring Shareholder, if applicable) (the “Non-Transferring Shareholders”) a written notice setting forth its binding and irrevocable offer to sell all or a portion of its Shares in the Company (a “ROFR Transfer Notice”), which shall set forth (i) the number of Shares proposed to be sold (the “ROFR Shares”), (ii) the price per share, in cash, that the Transferring Shareholder would be prepared to accept therefor, and (iii) all other material terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer. During the sixty (60) days following the receipt of the ROFR Transfer Notice (such sixty (60)-day period, the “ROFR Acceptance Period”), each Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver a written notice to the Transferring Shareholder, setting forth such Non-Transferring Shareholder’s irrevocable election to purchase all, but not less than all, of the ROFR Shares offered by the Transferring Shareholder, for the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the ROFR Transfer Notice (a “ROFR Notice of Acceptance”). Following the delivery of the ROFR Notice of Acceptance, the Transferring Shareholder and the Non-Transferring Shareholder shall cooperate in good faith to consummate a definitive transaction in accordance with the ROFR Transfer Notice as soon as reasonably possible; provided that if more than one of the Non-Transferring Shareholders timely provides a ROFR Notice of Acceptance, then each of the Non-Transferring Shareholders shall be entitled to purchase no more than its pro rata share of the ROFR Shares.

(b) If any Non-Transferring Shareholder (i) fails to deliver a ROFR Notice of Acceptance within the ROFR Acceptance Period (which failure shall be deemed to be a waiver of the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 6.4) or (ii) delivers a written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within the ROFR Acceptance Period, but elects not to exercise such right of first refusal ((or,

if the Non-Transferring Shareholder elects to exercise its Tag-Along Right pursuant to Section 6.5 (Tag-Along Right), then, subject to Section 6.5 (Tag-Along Right), the Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, at any time within ninety (90) days following the earlier of (x) the end of the ROFR Acceptance Period, or (y) receipt of notice from each Non-Transferring Shareholder pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(ii), to Transfer all (but not less than all) of its ROFR Shares to the Buyer, the identity and ultimate beneficial owners of which (or in the case of a private equity fund, the manager and general partner thereof) shall be notified by the Transferring Shareholder to the Non-Transferring Shareholder no less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing of the Transfer, at a price equal to or higher than such price, and on terms that are not more favorable to the Buyer than the terms, set forth in the ROFR Transfer Notice. If such Transfer is not completed within such ninety (90)-day period, then the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall apply again to any prospective Transfer of such ROFR Shares; provided that, such ninety (90)-day period may be extended by up to thirty (30) additional days if despite the Transferring Shareholder using commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Transfer to the Buyer, any approvals of Governmental Authorities required to consummate the Transfer to the Buyer have been requested but not yet obtained, or required waiting periods under applicable Law have not expired, during such ninety (90)-day period.

(c) If any Non-Transferring Shareholder delivers a ROFR Notice of Acceptance within the ROFR Acceptance Period, then the Transferring Shareholder and the Non-Transferring Shareholder or Non-Transferring Shareholders (as applicable) shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities that are required to consummate a definitive transaction in accordance therewith (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”) and (ii) consummate a definitive transaction in accordance therewith (the “ROFR Closing”) as soon as practicable and in any event no later than within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the ROFR Acceptance Period; provided that any Non-Transferring Shareholder may extend such ninety (90)-day period by up to thirty (30) additional days (the “Extension Period”) if despite such Transferring Shareholder using commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the ROFR Closing, any Governmental Approvals required to consummate such ROFR Closing have been requested but not yet obtained, or any material required waiting periods under applicable Law have not expired, during such ninety (90)-day period. In the event that any such Governmental Approvals have not been obtained, or any such waiting periods have not expired, within such ninety (90)-day period or by the end of the Extension Period, as applicable, the Transferring Shareholder and the applicable Non-Transferring Shareholder shall not be required to consummate the ROFR Closing and the Transferring Shareholder shall have the right to proceed with the Transfer to Buyer in accordance with Section 6.4(b); provided, that the applicable Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise its Tag-Along Right pursuant to Section 6.5 (Tag-Along Right) by notifying the Transferring Shareholder within fifteen (15) Business Days of the expiration of the ninety (90)-day period for the ROFR Closing or the Extension Period, as applicable.

6.5 Tag-Along Right.

(a) Subject to prior compliance with the right of first refusal set forth in Section 6.4 (Right of First Refusal), if any Shareholder wishes to effect a Transfer of its ROFR Shares, other than to a Permitted Transferee, each Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, but not the obligation (a “Tag-Along Right”), to Transfer to the Buyer, for the same price per share consideration (including any premium or non-cash, deferred, contingent or any other consideration or value) applicable to such other Transferring Shareholder (but subject to Section 6.5(d) below), a maximum number of Shares in the Company equal to such Non-Transferring Shareholder’s Tag Pro Rata Share (such Transfer by the Transferring Shareholder together with the Transfer by each applicable Non-Transferring Shareholder exercising its Tag-Along Right, a “Tag-Along Transfer”).

(b) A Non-Transferring Shareholder may exercise such Tag-Along Right by delivering a written notice to the Transferring Shareholder indicating its intention to exercise its Tag-Along Right and specifying the amount of Shares in the Company that such Non-Transferring Shareholder desires to include in the Tag-Along Transfer up to the maximum number of Shares determined pursuant to Section 6.5(a) (the “Tag-Along Shares”) no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after expiration of (i) the ROFR Acceptance Period, or (ii) the ninety (90)-day period or the Extension Period set forth in Section 6.4(c), as applicable. Upon exercise of its Tag-Along Right by a Non-Transferring Shareholder, the Transferring Shareholder shall cause the Buyer to deliver to such Non-Transferring Shareholder a written bona fide offer to purchase the Tag-Along Shares for the same price per share consideration (including any premium or non-cash, deferred, contingent or any other consideration or value) and on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Transferring Shareholder; provided that, if any deferred consideration (including any in-kind benefits, if any) is part of the purchase price for the Tag-Along Transfer, then the Non-Transferring Shareholder shall be entitled to receive its Tag Pro Rata Share of such deferred consideration, in the same terms and conditions applicable to the Transferring Shareholder.

(c) If the Buyer fails to purchase the Tag-Along Shares from the Non-Transferring Shareholder or Non-Transferring Shareholders, as applicable, then the Transferring Shareholder shall not be permitted to consummate the proposed Transfer to such Buyer, and any attempt to consummate such Transfer shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement, and be null and void ab initio and shall not be recorded on any register of members.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree that any Transfer by a Non-Transferring Shareholder of the Tag-Along Shares pursuant to its Tag-Along Right shall be made on an “as is, where is” basis, without representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities by such Non-Transferring Shareholder, other than customary representations as to title to the Tag-Along Shares, due authorization, and non-contravention. Any indemnity obligations of such Non-Transferring Shareholder shall be limited to the representations and warranties made by such Non-Transferring Shareholder, shall be several and not joint, and shall be subject to the same proportional limitations applicable to the Transferring Shareholder (including any cap, basket, de minimis, or funding of any indemnity escrow or holdback); provided that (x) in no event shall such Non-Transferring Shareholder be required to assume indemnity obligations (A) in excess of the consideration received by such Non-Transferring Shareholder in the Tag-Along Transfer, or (B) resulting from, relating to, in connection with, or arising out of (1) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties with respect to any other Shareholder or the Company, (2) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any other Shareholder or the Company, and (y) such Non-Transferring Shareholder shall not be required to fund any indemnity escrow or holdback or pay any such indemnity in excess of a pro rata amount based on the proportional share of consideration received by such Non-Transferring Shareholder in the Tag-Along Transfer, in respect of the aggregate consideration paid by the Buyer.

6.6 No Circumvention of Share Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Each Party agrees that the Transfer restrictions in this Agreement may not be avoided by the holding of equity securities directly or indirectly through a person that can itself be sold in order to Transfer an interest in Shares free of such restrictions. Any Transfer or issuance of any equity securities of a Shareholder to any person who is not already an existing equityholder of such Shareholder at the time of the relevant transfer or issuance and which results in a Change of Control of such Shareholder shall be treated as being a Transfer of the Shares held by that Shareholder, and the provisions of this Section 6 that apply in respect of the Transfer of Shares shall thereupon apply in respect of the portion of the Shares (on a pro rata basis equivalent to the portion of equity securities of the Shareholder so transferred or issued) so held by such Shareholder. Any Transfer of any ownership interest in any

Shareholder by a beneficial holder of such interest which results in a Change of Control of such Shareholder shall be deemed a Transfer of a corresponding portion of Shares by such Shareholder and shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth herein; provided that a Transfer of any limited partnership interest in a limited partnership that owns equity securities of a Shareholder shall not be subject to any restriction set forth herein so long as (i) the general partner and fund manager controlling and managing such limited partnership as of the date of this Agreement continue to control and manage such limited partnership after such Transfer, (ii) the ultimate beneficial owners of the fund manager managing such limited partnership as of the date of this Agreement remain substantially the same after such Transfer, and (iii) such Transfer does not violate any applicable Law or stock exchange regulation, including transfer restrictions imposed during a pre-listing period.

8.9 Compliance with Anti-corruption Laws.

(a) No Group Company or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or other representatives shall (i) make or give any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or any other type of payment that would be unlawful under any Anti-corruption Laws, (ii) make an offer to pay, a promise to pay or a payment or transfer of money or anything else of value, or an authorization of such offer, promise, payment or transfer, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official for the purpose of (A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in relation to his lawful duty, (C) securing any advantage or (D) inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision of any

8.10 FATCA.

(a) The Company intends to comply with any and all obligations under FATCA and to avoid any and all withholding under FATCA (“FATCA Withholding Tax”). Without limiting the foregoing, each Shareholder shall promptly provide to the Company such information regarding the Shareholder (and its direct or indirect beneficial owners or account holders) and representations, certificates or forms as the Company reasonably requests in writing so that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may (i) enter into, maintain or comply with a FATCA Agreement or any intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA, (ii) comply with its obligations in order to avoid any withholding required under FATCA and (iii) comply with any reporting or withholding requirements under FATCA. Each Shareholder shall execute any and all documents, instruments and certificates as the Company may reasonably request in writing or that are otherwise required to effectuate the foregoing and shall take such actions as the Company may reasonably request in writing in connection with the foregoing.

(b) If a Shareholder (i) does not provide the reasonably requested information as to its direct and indirect beneficial owners and any other information in the possession of such Shareholder required in order for the Company to comply with any and all of its obligations under FATCA or (ii) would not otherwise be exempt from FATCA Withholding Tax, then to the extent any such failure to provide such information or to be exempt from FATCA Withholding Tax directly results in the Company becoming subject to a FATCA Withholding Tax in respect of any item of income paid to or received by the Company that it would not otherwise have been subject to, such Shareholder shall bear the economic burden of such FATCA Withholding Tax through a special allocation of such FATCA Withholding Tax to the Shares held by such Shareholder (which may include compelling the exchange (by redemption and re-subscription) of Shares of any existing class, series or sub-series held by such Shareholder for Shares of a new class, series or sub-series which is charged with such tax ) and/or through the offsetting of an amount equal to any such FATCA Withholding Tax from distributions (including distribution in redemption of Shares) made by the Company to such Shareholder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate in a manner that ensures that no other Shareholder bears the economic burden of any such FATCA Withholding Tax.

8.11 Tax Information and Assistance. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor any information that such Investor may require or reasonably request in order to file tax returns. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with each Investor by providing any additional tax information and/or assisting in the filing of additional tax forms, as reasonably requested by such Investor.

8.12 Tax Status. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts, and shall ensure that its Subsidiaries use reasonable best efforts, to maintain sufficient commercial substance and ensure that each is otherwise properly managed in a manner that ensures that each is treated as a tax resident only in its jurisdiction of incorporation. In this regard, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall ensure that its central management and control is in its jurisdiction of incorporation.

8.13 PFIC. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether any Group Company is a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company determines that any such entity is a PFIC, the Company shall not be obligated to compute the required tax information so as to allow for a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to such PFIC, but shall allow an Investor, at such Investor’s reasonable request, access to the books and records of such PFIC so as to allow the Investor to compute such information at the Investor’s own expense.

8.14 Withholding Taxes. The Company shall (i) notify each Investor of the amount of any withholding or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority on amounts allocable to, received by, or distributable by, the Company with respect to such Investor (“Withholding Taxes”), (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain any exemption from, reduction in, or refund of any Withholding Taxes, (iii) to the extent the exemption from, reduction in, or refund of, Withholding Taxes is required to be applied for by such Investor, advise such Investor of the procedures for obtaining any available reduction or refund of such Withholding Taxes and reasonably assist the Investor with respect thereto, and (iv) otherwise use reasonable best efforts to provide such Investor with such information and documentation as such Investor may reasonably require to enable it to seek any exemption from, reductions in, or refunds of, Withholding Taxes to which such Investor is entitled.

8.15 Significant Shareholder. The Parties currently anticipate that the Significant Shareholder may agree to make a ten percent (10%) investment in the Company at or prior to the Investor Transactions Closing. Upon execution of an adherence agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Significant Shareholder shall be granted all rights, and undertake all obligations, of an Investor hereunder, in addition to any other rights and obligations set forth herein. In the event that the Significant Shareholder does not agree to make an investment in the Company and accede to this Agreement prior to the Investor Transactions Closing, then the Parties shall amend this Agreement in order to, among any other mutually agreed appropriate amendments, remove references to the Significant Shareholder.

(b) No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party waiving such provision. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of the same preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, no waiver by a Party of any breach by any other Party of any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that or any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies provided at law or in equity.

9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than New York.

9.7 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA Rules”), except as modified herein. The seat of arbitration shall be London, England and the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(b) There shall be three arbitrators (the “Arbitral Tribunal”). If there are two parties to the arbitration, the claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in the Request, and the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator within the time specified in the LCIA Rules. If there are more than two parties to the arbitration, the parties shall have thirty (30) days from receipt by respondent(s) of the request for arbitration to agree on the manner in which the first two arbitrators will be nominated and to nominate two arbitrators. Within twenty (20) days of the confirmation by the LCIA of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the two arbitrators shall nominate a third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the Arbitral Tribunal. On the request of any party to the arbitration, any arbitrator not timely nominated shall be appointed by the LCIA Court in accordance with the LCIA Rules.

(c) Any arbitration hereunder shall be confidential, and the parties and their agents agree not to disclose to any third party the existence or status of the arbitration or any information related thereto, except and to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable Law or is required to protect or pursue a legal right.

(d) The parties expressly agree that no applications or appeals may be made under Section 45 or Section 69 of the English Arbitration Xxx 0000 with respect to any question of law arising

in the course of the arbitration or with respect to any award made. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages.

(e) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the Arbitral Tribunal’s orders to that effect. The inclusion of this provision shall not exclude resort to the “Emergency Arbitrator” provisions of the LCIA Rules.

(f) The award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any dispute, controversy or claims presented to the Arbitral Tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any party or any of its assets.

9.8 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by it and that money damages alone are an inadequate remedy for actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) to enforce or prevent any violations of any provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to such Party, including the right to claim money damages for breach of any provision of this Agreement.

9.9 Representations and Warranties.

9.15 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting Party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

9.19 Mutual Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and have been represented by their own legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, with the opportunity to seek advice as to their legal rights from such counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement is to be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof is to arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof.
