MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any conflicts or choice of law provisions that would cause the application of the substantive domestic laws of any other jurisdiction).

Section 5.2 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach hereof, shall be settled solely by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 5.2.

of such jurisdiction. The parties to any arbitration hereby expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America for the sole purpose of enforcing, modifying or vacating arbitral awards and for disputes that are removed from the arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. Each party hereto agrees that any and all proceedings, notices and documents so served shall have been properly served upon such party within the State of Delaware and that such service shall thereby confer personal jurisdiction upon such party.

Section 5.3 Cumulative Remedies; Failure to Pursue Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Except where a time period is specified, no delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

Section 5.4 Equitable Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached.

Section 5.6 Assignment; Binding Effect. The rights and obligations set forth herein may not be assigned or delegated by the Sellers, and may be assigned or delegated by the Buyer to any person. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
