9. This Third Amendment may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
10. This Third Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Third Amendment shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Florida federal court sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida, provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Florida state court sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Third Amendment or the transactions contemplated by this Third Amendment. If any term or other provision of this Third Amendment is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Third Amendment shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. 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 Third Amendment so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
11. Seller on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates, Subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their present, future and former officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, administrators, representatives and attorneys (collectively, the “Seller Releasors”), and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, parents, related Entities, investors, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their present, future and former owners, officers, directors, partners, employees, consultants, agents, stockholders, administrators, representatives and attorneys (collectively, the “Purchaser Releasors”), each hereby release and discharge the other party, including the other party’s respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, parents, related Entities, investors, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their present, future and former owners, officers, directors, managers, members, partners, trustees, employees, consultants, agents, stockholders, administrators, representatives and attorneys (collectively, in the case of the Seller, the “Seller Releasees”, and, in the case of the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Releasees”), from any and all known or unknown claims and causes of action that any of the Seller Releasors or Purchaser Releasors ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall
2
or may, have against any of the Purchaser Releasees or Seller Releasees, respectively, for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time through and including the date of the Third Amendment, solely to the extent such was or is in connection with, arises out of, or is premised upon the calculation or payment of the Purchase Price or any Initial Payment, Initial Earn-Out Payment, Subsequent Payment, Quarterly Earn-Out Payment or Termination Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the release set forth in this Section 11 of this Third Amendment (i) does not supersede, replace, or modify the agreements of the Seller and the Purchaser set forth in the Purchase Agreement other than as specifically stated above or contemplated herein and (ii) shall not consititute a waiver by either party of its right to enforce the provisions of this Third Amendment.
