Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Equityholder, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any such interests or obligations shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, estates, executors and personal representatives (if applicable) and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto, the Indemnitees and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than Parent, Equityholder and their respective successors and permitted assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.

7.7 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each party hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, Affiliates, Representatives and equity holders) that no recourse under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be had against any party’s Affiliates or any of each of their respective former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, partners, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (each a “Related Party”, to the extent applicable, and collectively, the “Related Parties”), in each case other than the parties to this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement (and, in the case of any other Transaction Document, the applicable parties thereto and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred, except in connection with such Person’s role as a manager, director, officer or agent of the Company, by any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however,

nothing in this Section 7.7 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any party or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under such agreements, documents or instruments to which it is a party.

7.8 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them or were otherwise breached in accordance with the terms hereof and that each party hereto shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at Law in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by Parent or Equityholder, as applicable, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of Parent or Equityholder, as applicable, under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.8. No party shall be required to provide any bond or other security or to prove damages in connection with seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.8, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the providing of any such bond or other security. In circumstances where Parent or Equityholder is obligated to consummate any Transaction and such Transaction has not been consummated, each of Parent and Equityholder expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other party and its stockholders shall have suffered irreparable harm, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate such other party and its stockholders and that such other party on behalf of itself and its stockholders shall be entitled to enforce specifically Parent’s or the Equityholder’s, as the case may be, obligation to consummate such Transaction.

7.9 Additional Documents. Equityholder will execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

7.10 Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of any Person under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).

7.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The terms of Sections 9.5, 9.6 and 9.7 of the Merger Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

7.12 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Action relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against Equityholder, the prevailing party in such Action (as determined in a final non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be entitled to receive the costs incurred by such party in conducting the Action, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs (in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled).

7.13 Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. In the event that any signature to this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a portable document format (.pdf or similar format) data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

7.14 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

7.15 Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of Equityholder set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between Equityholder, on the one hand, and any Company Subsidiary or Parent, on the other hand. The existence of any Action by Equityholder against any Company Subsidiary or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Equityholder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Equityholder under any agreement between Equityholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Equityholder in favor of Parent; and nothing in the Merger Agreement or in any other such agreement, certificate or instrument, shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Equityholder under this Agreement.

7.16 Construction.

(a) 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.

(b) The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(c) As used in this Agreement, the use of the word “or” shall not be exclusive and 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.”
