4.4. SEC Filings. None of the information supplied in writing by the Rollover Stockholder specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission will cause a breach of the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in the Merger Agreement.
4.5. Certain Matters Relating to the Rollover Stockholder’s Investment in the Shares.
(a) The Rollover Stockholder is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for, distribution, resale or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, in each case under circumstances which would require registration thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws.
(b) The Rollover Stockholder has not been given any oral or written information, representations or assurances by Parent or any representative thereof in connection with the Rollover Stockholder’s acquisition of the Shares other than as contained in this Agreement and the Rollover Stockholder is relying on the Rollover Stockholder’s own business judgment and knowledge concerning the business, financial condition and prospects of Parent in making the decision to acquire the Shares. The Rollover Stockholder acknowledges that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation relating to the Shares or Parent, other than as contained in this Agreement and, if given or made, information received from any person and any representation, other than as aforesaid, must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Parent or any person acting on its behalf.

The Rollover Stockholder acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available and that transfers of the Shares may be restricted by applicable state and non-U.S. securities laws.

The Rollover Stockholder, solely in such capacity, agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable and reasonably requested by Parent to consummate and make effective the contribution of Rollover Shares contemplated hereby.

Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at Law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at Law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.
6.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or made in writing by any Rollover Stockholder, or by or on behalf of Parent, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Parent or the Rollover Stockholder, the issue and sale of the Shares and the consummation of the Rollover.

6.8. Headings. All section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement, and no construction or reference shall be derived therefrom.
6.9. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained herein. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
6.10. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
6.11. Governing Law.
