Section 4.2 Authority; No Conflict.

(a) Purchaser has all requisite corporate power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other action or proceedings on the part of Purchaser is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.1 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such Seller will keep confidential, and not use or disclose, except in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all information, documents or materials relating solely to the Company and its business which, prior to the date hereof, have been furnished to it by or on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any other Seller, any other stockholder of the Company, or Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to the disclosure or use of any information, documents or materials (a) which are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by any Seller after receiving such information or any Affiliate or Representative of such Seller receiving such information in violation of this Section 5.1, (b) required by applicable Law to be disclosed by such Seller (but only, to the extent practical and permitted by applicable Law, after providing Purchaser with written notice of its intention to disclose such information and after Purchaser has had notice of the proposed disclosure in order to provide it with an opportunity to challenge such disclosure in a court of law), or (c) necessary to establish such Seller’s rights under this Agreement.

Each Seller, on its behalf and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of its Releasing Parties, acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the claims released hereby, but each Seller, on its behalf and on behalf of the Releasing Parties, intends to and, by operation of this Agreement shall have, fully, finally and forever settled and released any and all Released Claims without regard to the subsequent discovery of existence of such different or additional facts.

Section 6.14 Construction. The parties hereto have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or in the event a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Enforcement of Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties acknowledge and agree that each other party hereunder would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by a party hereunder could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a party hereunder may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 6.16 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 6.17 Publicity. Except for such disclosure as may be required by SEC rules and regulations, and subject to Section 5.2, no party hereto shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties as to the form and substance of such press release or statement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
