As a result of such cancellation, the outstanding shares of common stock of JHDG will be 36,000,000.

Each of the Members hereby severally (and not jointly) represents and warrants to JHDG with respect to itself, as follows.

 

2.1. Good Title. The Member is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to its Units, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Units. Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of JHDG as the new owner of such Units in the books and records of Cardinal, JHDG will receive good title to such Units, free and clear of all Liens.

 

2.2. Organization. Each Member that is an entity is duly organized and validly existing in its jurisdiction of organization.

2.4. No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Member and the performance by the Member of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require the consent of any third party or any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (“Governmental Entity”) under any statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, judgment, or decree (“Laws”); (b) will not violate any Laws applicable to the Member; and (c) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Member is a party.

2.5. Litigation. There is no pending proceeding against the Member that involves the Units or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the Transactions and, to the knowledge of the Member, no such proceeding has been threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such proceeding.

 

2.6. No Finder’s Fee. The Member has not created any obligation for any finder’s, investment banker’s or broker’s fee in connection with the Transactions.

 

2.7. Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the JHDG Stock in accordance with JHDG’s charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

The issuance of the Shares hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the U.S. and that the issuance of the JHDG Stock is being effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Member further acknowledges that if the Shares are issued to the Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Member represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

2.11. Accredited Investor. The Member is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Member was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

2.12. Legends. The Member hereby agrees with JHDG that the JHDG Stock will bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

3.5. No Conflicts; Consents. The execution and delivery by Cardinal of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the Cardinal Operating Agreement, the Cardinal Bylaws or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any material Contract to which Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.5(b), any material judgment, order or decree or material Law applicable to Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Cardinal Material Adverse Effect.

All forms of taxation, whenever created or imposed, and whether of the United States or elsewhere, and whether imposed by a local, municipal, governmental, state, foreign, federal or other Governmental Entity, or in connection with any agreement with respect to Taxes, including all interest, penalties and additions imposed with respect to such amounts (“Taxes”) shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to timely pay or pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Cardinal Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of Cardinal know of no basis for any such claim.

 

(b) The Cardinal Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Cardinal and its subsidiaries (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements.

3.9. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Cardinal and each of its subsidiaries have conducted their business and operations in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Cardinal Material Adverse Effect. Cardinal has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that Cardinal is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. This Section 3.9 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 3.6.

 

3.10. Brokers. Except as set forth in the Cardinal Disclosure Letter, no broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries.

 

3.11. Contracts. There are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of Cardinal and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither Cardinal nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Cardinal Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.12. Title to Properties. Neither Cardinal nor any of its subsidiaries own any real property. Cardinal and each of its subsidiaries has sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses, except to the extent the failure of having such sufficient title or valid leasehold interest, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens other than those set forth in the Cardinal Disclosure Letter and except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of Cardinal and its subsidiaries to conduct business as currently conducted.

Cardinal and each of its subsidiaries own, or are validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, any and all patents, patent rights, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, service marks, service xxxx rights, copyrights and other proprietary intellectual property rights and computer programs(“Intellectual Property Rights”) which are material to the conduct of the business of Cardinal and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of Cardinal, threatened that Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right.

3.14. Financial Statements. Cardinal has delivered to JHDG its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 (the “Cardinal Financial Statements”). The Cardinal Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the period indicated. The Cardinal Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of Cardinal, as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. Cardinal does not have any material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2012, and (b) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under GAAP to be reflected in the Cardinal Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually and in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to result in a Cardinal Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.15. Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. None of the officers or directors of Cardinal and, to the knowledge of Cardinal, none of the employees of Cardinal is presently a party to any transaction with Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any Contract or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of Cardinal, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

 

3.16. Solvency. Based on the financial condition of Cardinal as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (a) Cardinal’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of Cardinal’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (b) Cardinal’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by Cardinal, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (c) the current cash flow of Cardinal, together with the proceeds Cardinal would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. Cardinal does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

 

3.17. Investment Company. Cardinal is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

3.18. Foreign Corrupt Practices.

(k) any arrangement or commitment by Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries to do any of the things described in this Section 3.19.

 

3.20. Disclosure. All disclosure provided to JHDG regarding Cardinal, its business and the Transactions, furnished by or on behalf of Cardinal (including Cardinal’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

3.21. No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, to the knowledge of Cardinal, or is contemplated to occur with respect to Cardinal or any of its subsidiaries, or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by Cardinal under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to an issuance and sale by Cardinal of its Units and which has not been publicly announced.

(b) No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to JHDG in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, other than filings under state “blue sky” laws, as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

 

4.6. Taxes. JHDG has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file, any delinquency in filing or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a JHDG Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a JHDG Material Adverse Effect.

4.9. Compliance with Applicable Laws. JHDG is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety, the environment, export controls, trade sanctions and embargoes, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a JHDG Material Adverse Effect. JHDG has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that JHDG is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. This Section 4.9 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 4.7.

 

4.10 Contracts. There are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of JHDG taken as a whole. JHDG is not in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a JHDG Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.11 Title to Properties. JHDG has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which JHDG has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of JHDG to conduct business as currently conducted. JHDG has complied in all material respects with the terms of all material leases to which it is a party and under which it is in occupancy, and all such leases are in full force and effect. JHDG enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

 

4.12. Intellectual Property. JHDG does not own, nor is validly licensed nor otherwise has the right to use, any Intellectual Property Rights. No claims are pending or, to the knowledge of JHDG, threatened that JHDG is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right.

 

4.13. Undisclosed Liabilities. JHDG has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to be set forth on a balance sheet of JHDG or in the notes thereto.

4.14. SEC Documents. JHDG has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and JHDG has delivered or made available to Cardinal all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed with the SEC (collectively, and in each case including all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, the “JHDG SEC Documents”). The JHDG SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 19933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such JHDG SEC documents, and none of the JHDG SEC Documents (including any and all consolidated financial statements included therein) as of such date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent revised or superseded by a subsequent filing with the SEC (a copy of which has been provided to Cardinal prior to the date of this Agreement), none of the JHDG SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of JHDG included in such JHDG SEC Documents (the “JHDG Financial Statements”) comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited consolidated quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of JHDG and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments as determined by JHDG’s independent accountants). Except as set forth in the JHDG SEC Documents, at the date of the most recent audited financial statements of JHDG included in the JHDG SEC Documents, neither JHDG nor any of its subsidiaries had, and since such date neither JHDG nor any of such subsidiaries has incurred, any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to JHDG.

 

4.15. Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither of the JHDG nor any of its subsidiaries has any liability (whether known or unknown, whether absolute or contingent, whether liquidated or unliquidated and whether due or to become due), except for (a) liabilities shown on the balance sheet contained in the most recent Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, (b) liabilities which have arisen since the date of the balance sheet contained in the most recent Form 10-Q filed with the SEC in the ordinary course of business which do not exceed $1,000.00 in the aggregate and (c) contractual and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which are not required by GAAP to be reflected on a balance sheet.

 

4.16. Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. None of the officers or directors of JHDG and, to the knowledge of JHDG, none of the employees of JHDG is presently a party to any transaction with JHDG or any subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any Contract or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of JHDG, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

 

4.17. Solvency. Based on the financial condition of JHDG as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (a) JHDG’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of JHDG’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (b) JHDG’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including its capital needs, taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by JHDG, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (c) the current cash flow of JHDG, together with the proceeds JHDG would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. JHDG does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

 

-14-
 

 

4.18. Investment Company. JHDG is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Neither JHDG, nor to JHDG’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of JHDG has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, JHDG (a) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (c) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (d) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

 

4.20. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in the JHDG SEC Documents, since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the JHDG SEC Documents, JHDG has conducted its business only in the ordinary course, and during such period there has not been:

 

(a) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating results of JHDG from that reflected in the JHDG Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business that have not caused, in the aggregate, a JHDG Material Adverse Effect;

 

(b) any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance, that would have a JHDG Material Adverse Effect;

 

(c) any waiver or compromise by JHDG of a valuable right or of a material debt owed to it;

(f) any material change in any compensation arrangement or agreement with any employee, officer, director or stockholder;

-15-

(i) any loans or guarantees made by JHDG to or for the benefit of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their immediate families, other than travel advances and other advances made in the ordinary course of its business;

 

(j) any declaration, setting aside or payment or other distribution in respect of any of JHDG’s capital stock, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of any of such stock by JHDG;

 

(k) any alteration of JHDG’s method of accounting or the identity of its auditors;

 

(l) any issuance of equity securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing JHDG stock option plans; or

 

(m) any arrangement or commitment by JHDG to do any of the things described in this Section 4.21.

 

4.21. No Registration Matters. JHDG has not granted or agreed to grant to any person any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of JHDG registered with the SEC or any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied.

 

4.22. Disclosure. All disclosure provided to the Members regarding JHDG, its business and the Transactions, furnished by or on behalf of JHDG (including JHDG’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

4.23. No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is contemplated to occur with respect to JHDG, its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by JHDG under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by JHDG of its common stock and which has not been publicly announced.

(iii) Cardinal may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to JHDG at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event JHDG has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Cardinal has notified JHDG of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of twenty days after the notice of breach; (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 15, 2013 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 5.1 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from Cardinal or any Member breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).

 

(b) If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party (except for any liability of any Party then in breach).

7.4. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Members, JHDG and Cardinal will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

7.5. Independent Nature of Members’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Member under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Member, and no Member shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Member under this Agreement. The decision of each Member to acquire the Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Member independently of any other Member. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Member pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Members as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Members are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Member 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 Member to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each of Cardinal and JHDG acknowledges that each of the Members has been provided with this same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Members and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Member.

 

7.6. Limitation of Liability. Not with standing anything herein to the contrary, each of JHDG and Cardinal acknowledges and agrees that the liability of a Member arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Member, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of such Member or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Member shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Member.

 

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.

 

7.9. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. 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 Parties. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

 

7.10. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the Rescission Agreement (a) constitutes 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.

7.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except to the extent the laws of Wyoming are mandatorily applicable to the Transactions.

 

7.12. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
