        8.6
    Headings.     The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.


        8.7
    Severability.     If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of 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 contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party; provided, however, that if Section 5.3 or the Termination Fee is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any rule of Law or public policy, then the parties agree the remainder of this Agreement shall be unenforceable (it being understood that the validity, legality and enforceability of Section 5.3 and the Termination Fee are essential to the parties and a material inducement to the entering into of this Agreement by the parties, and not severable pursuant to this Section 8.7). Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto 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 contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.


        8.8
    Entire Agreement.     This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended hereby) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements (except the Confidentiality Agreement, as amended hereby) and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.


        8.9
    Assignment.     This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that the Parent or the Purchaser may assign any of their respective rights and obligations to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Parent without the consent of the Company, but no such assignment shall relieve the Parent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.9 shall be null and void.


        8.10
    No Third Party Beneficiaries.     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than (a) pursuant to Section 5.7, (b) if the Closing occurs, the right of the holders of Shares to receive the Merger Consideration, (c) if the Closing occurs, the right of holders of Company Options to receive their respective Option Payments and (d) if the Closing occurs, the right of the holders of Company RSUs to receive their respective RSU Payments, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the Knowledge of any of the parties hereto, and consequently, may not accurately characterize actual facts or circumstances.


        8.11
    Non-Recourse.     Except for any Proceeding arising under or related to any Support Agreement, any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein. Except for any liability or obligation arising under or related to any Support Agreement, no former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents, trustees, affiliates, general or limited partners or assignees of the parties hereto (except permitted assignees under Section 8.9) or of any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, controlling Person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, agent, trustee, affiliate, general or limited

62


partner or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, but for the avoidance of doubt excluding the parties hereto) will have any liability or obligation for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or liabilities of any party hereto or for any Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby), in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another Person or otherwise.


        8.12
    Mutual Drafting; Interpretation.     Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words "include" and "including" and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to "Sections," "Exhibits," "Annexes" and "Schedules" are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement. The schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein for all purposes. The words "hereof," "hereto," "hereby," "herein," "hereunder" and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or article in which such words appear. All references in this Agreement to "$" are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term "or" shall not be deemed to be exclusive.


        8.13
    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.     

63



        8.14
    Counterparts.     This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic transmission each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


        8.15
    Specific Performance.     The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific performance of the terms hereof, in each case in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any state or Federal Court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, without necessity of posting bond or other security (any requirements therefor being expressly waived).
