The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which the parties may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement, and the obligations and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement, are in addition to their respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under common law requirements and under all Applicable Law.

 

6.15          Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

  (a)            This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles, except that matters related to the Merger that are exclusively governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the State of Delaware shall be subject to the internal laws of such jurisdiction, as applicable.

 

  (b)            Each of Parent and Shareholder irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or any transaction contemplated hereby (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”). Each of Parent and Shareholder agree to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto in the applicable Chosen Courts pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Parent and Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the applicable Chosen Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of Parent and Shareholder irrevocably waive any objections or immunities to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the addresses set forth in Section 6.6 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

  (c)            EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

6.16          Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile or Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be signed 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. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party 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). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by “.pdf” format, scanned pages or electronic signature such as DocuSign shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

 

6.17          Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.

 

6.18          Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such waiver is in writing and is signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

 

6.19          Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of the parties set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other Contract between the parties. The existence of any claim or cause of action by a party against the other party shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against such party. 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 Shareholder under any agreement between Shareholder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Shareholder 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 Shareholder under this Agreement.

6.20          Construction. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof. References to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The definition of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and the plural. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “shall” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “will.” Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and such shall not mean simply “if.” The word “or” shall not be exclusive. “Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. Unless otherwise specified, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any agreement or Contract are to that agreement or Contract as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. The phrase “date of this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble of this Agreement. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The measure of a period of one month or year for purposes of this Agreement will be the date of the following month or year corresponding to the starting date; and, if no corresponding date exists, then the end date of such period being measured will be the next actual date of the following month or year (for example, one month following February 18 is March 18 and one month following March 31 is May 1). Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, when calculating the period of time within which, or following which, any action is to be taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference day in calculating such period shall be excluded. References to days shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. References to “law,” “laws” or to a particular statute or law shall be deemed also to include any Applicable Law. Any references in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars.

 

6.21          Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and become void and of no further force or effect at the Expiration Date. Following the termination of this Agreement, all obligations of each party hereto will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any Person in respect of this Agreement or the obligations hereunder, and no party hereto shall have any Claim against another party (and no Person shall have any rights against another party hereto), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement or the obligations under this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party from liability from any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
