It is anticipated that the funding for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) will consist of a combination of (i) equity financing in the form of cash to be contributed to Parent by the FFL Funds as described in Item 4 below and (ii) debt financing.

As a condition to Parent’s and Merger Subs’ willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into a Voting Agreement (as defined below) with each of (i) Richard Kurtz, (ii) Jay C. Nadel and (iii) JARE Investment LLC (the entities identified in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Supporting Stockholders”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote, and to deliver an irrevocable proxy to Parent to vote, the Subject Shares (as defined below) in favor of, among other things, any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement (as defined below) or the Merger (as defined below) and any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  None of the Reporting Persons or Lapolla paid additional consideration to the Supporting Stockholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements.

Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction.

Merger Agreement

On October 4, 2017, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Lapolla, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 5, 2017, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.2 (the “Merger Agreement”).  The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Lapolla (the “Merger”), with Lapolla surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  Under Lapolla’s certificate of incorporation, a stockholder vote is required to consummate the Merger.

Voting Agreements

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into Voting Agreements, dated as of October 4, 2017 (the “Voting Agreements”), with the Supporting Stockholders.  Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the Supporting Stockholders agreed, subject to certain limited specified exceptions, to vote, and to deliver an irrevocable proxy to Parent to vote, all shares of stock of Lapolla currently held or the voting power of which is hereafter acquired by the Supporting Stockholders (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) in favor of, among other things, any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement or the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In addition, subject to certain limited specified exceptions, the Supporting Stockholders have agreed to refrain from disposing of the Subject Shares and soliciting alternative acquisition proposals to the Merger.  The Voting Agreements will automatically terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Based upon information provided by the Supporting Stockholders, as of October 4, 2017, the Subject Shares included: (i) 70,974,360 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Richard Kurtz (ii) 12,234,135 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Jay Nadel and (iii) 16,473,960 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by JARE Investment LLC.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired shared voting power with respect to the Subject Shares by reason of the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements by Parent.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. The Merger Agreement and the Voting

 
 
Agreements, are each attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, and 99.5, respectively, to this Statement and incorporated by referenced herein.

The primary purpose of the transactions described above is for Parent, through Merger Sub, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Lapolla. Parent required that the Supporting Stockholders agree to enter into the Voting Agreements to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Lapolla, and Lapolla will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, the Common Stock will cease to be freely traded, the Common Stock will be de−registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Parent will control the board of directors of Lapolla and will make such other changes in the charter, bylaws, capitalization, management and business of Lapolla as set forth in the Merger Agreement and/or as may be appropriate in its judgment (subject to certain limitations).

Except as set forth in this Statement or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreements, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of  Item 4 of this Statement.

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)
The percentages used herein are calculated based upon the 127,816,247 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 4, 2017, as set forth in the Merger Agreement  The Supporting Stockholders collectively own 99,682,455 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, therefore may, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements, be deemed to share beneficial ownership over 99,682,455 shares of Common Stock, which would represent 77.99% of the Common Stock of Lapolla, issued and outstanding as of October 4, 2017, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. Other than for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim such beneficial ownership, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons as to the beneficial ownership of such shares.

(b)
The Reporting Persons, by reason of the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements, may be deemed to have shared dispositive and voting power with the Supporting Stockholders with respect to 99,682,455 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 77.99% of the Common Stock of Lapolla, issued and outstanding as of October 4, 2017, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose. The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Lapolla as to the Subject Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Voting Agreements, and (ii) have no power to vote, direct the voting of, dispose of, or direct the disposal of, any shares of Common Stock other than the power provided pursuant to the Voting Agreements.

(c)
Except as described in this Statement (including the schedules to this Statement), during the last sixty (60) days there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons.

(d)
Except as set forth in this Item 5 and for persons referred to in Item 2 above, no person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

EX-99.5 3 l22423405c.htm VOTING AGREEMENT


VOTING AGREEMENT
by and between
ICYNENE U.S. HOLDING, CORP.
and
JARE INVESTMENT LLC
Dated as of October 4, 2017





VOTING AGREEMENT
This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 4, 2017, between Icynene U.S. Holding, Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and the undersigned (the “Stockholder”).
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of and has the sole power to vote (or to direct the voting of) the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”) of Lapolla Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (such Common Shares, together with any other shares of the Company (“Shares”) the voting power of which is acquired by such Stockholder during the period from the date hereof through the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Voting Period”), are collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Company, Parent, Blaze Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) are concurrently entering into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation thereafter (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the Common Shares, entitled to vote thereon; and
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, transactions from which the Stockholder believes it will derive substantial benefits through its ownership interest in the Company, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.1          Capitalized Terms.  For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
-1-

ARTICLE II
VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY
SECTION 2.1          Agreement to Vote.
(a)          The Stockholder hereby agrees that, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, such Stockholders will execute and deliver to the Company a written consent in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Written Consent”). The Written Consent shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b)          The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, and at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstances (including action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) upon which a vote, adoption or other approval or consent with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the approval of the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated thereby is sought, the Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and shall provide a written consent or vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all its Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, and (ii) against (X) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, (Y) any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any action in furtherance of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and (Z) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Stockholder or the Company under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
SECTION 2.2          Grant of Irrevocable Proxy.  The Stockholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, as the Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote, including by executing written consents, during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 2.2 shall be effective with respect to Section 2.1(a) if, and only if, the Stockholder does not deliver the Written Consent immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy.  The Stockholder affirms that the irrevocable proxy given by it hereby with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is given to Parent by the Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement.  It is agreed that Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) will use the irrevocable proxy that is granted by the Stockholder hereby only in accordance with applicable Law and that, to the extent Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) uses such irrevocable proxy, it will only
-2-

 
vote (or sign written consents in respect of) the Subject Shares subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.
SECTION 2.3          Nature of Irrevocable Proxy.  The proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to Parent by the Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by the Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the Stockholder with respect thereto.  The proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of the Stockholder and any obligation of the Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of the Stockholder.
SECTION 2.4          Additional Consideration.  If the Merger is consummated, the Stockholder will not receive, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, any consideration additional to or in lieu of the Merger Consideration in respect of the acquisition of any Common Shares held or controlled by it or its Affiliates.  If the Merger is not consummated, neither the Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates will receive a break-fee or similar payment, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
SECTION 3.1          Subject Shares.
(a)          The Stockholder agrees that (i) from the date hereof until the Effective Time, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift or by operation of law) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to or permit, a Transfer of, any or all of the Subject Shares or any interest therein; and (ii) during the Voting Period, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, (A) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Subject Shares or agree to vote (or sign written consents in respect of) the Subject Shares on any matter or divest itself of any voting rights in the Subject Shares, (B) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (C) exercise any of its Options.  The Stockholder agrees that any Transfer of Subject Shares not permitted hereby shall be null and void and that any such prohibited Transfer shall be enjoined. If any involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the
-3-

restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
(b)          In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Subject Shares by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.  The Stockholder further agrees that, in the event Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in, or acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, any additional Shares, in each case after the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall deliver promptly to Parent written notice of such event, which notice shall state the number of additional Shares so acquired.  The Stockholder agrees that any such additional Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including all covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein as if those additional shares were owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2          Stockholder’s Capacity.  All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity.
SECTION 3.3          Other Offers. Except to the extent the Company is permitted to take such action pursuant to the Merger Agreement, neither the Stockholder (in the Stockholder’s capacity as such), shall, nor shall the Stockholder authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, take any of the following actions: (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or knowingly facilitate an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding the Company to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to, or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with any person (or any representative thereof) with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend or propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating, approving, endorsing or recommending or proposing to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Transaction or accepting any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that none of the foregoing restrictions shall apply to the Stockholder’s and its Representatives’ interactions with Parent, Sub and their respective subsidiaries and representatives.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Representatives of the Stockholder shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 3.3 by the Stockholder.  The Stockholder shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry.
SECTION 3.4          Communications. During the Voting Period, the Stockholder shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives, if any,
-4-

not to, directly or indirectly, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication that criticizes or disparages this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  The Stockholder hereby (i) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (including in any publicly filed documents relating to the Merger or any transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) of: (a) the Stockholder’s identity; (b) the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares; and (c) the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Parent, Merger Sub or the Company determines to be necessary in any SEC disclosure document in connection with the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Parent, Merger Sub and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document.
SECTION 3.5          Voting Trusts.  The Stockholder agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of its Subject Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares other than as provided herein.
SECTION 3.6          Waiver of Appraisal Rights.  The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect) any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or quasi-appraisal rights that it may at any time have under applicable Law, including Section 262 of the DGCL.  The Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors, directors or officers, (a) challenging the validity, binding nature or enforceability of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation, entry into or consummation of the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 7.7          Entire Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that without consent Parent may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates that assume the rights and obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement.  Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall be binding upon any Person to which record or beneficial ownership of the Stockholder’s Subject Shares shall pass, whether by operation or law or otherwise, including the Stockholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors and assigns, and the Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.
SECTION 7.8          Parties in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.  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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be an express third party beneficiary solely of the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof.  Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 7.3 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.  Consequently, persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date (except the Company solely with respect to Section 3.4 hereof).
SECTION 7.9          Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant thereto unless otherwise defined therein.  The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.

Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the terms hereof, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.  References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.  Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.  If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  References to dollars of “US$” are to the official currency of the United States of America. 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.
SECTION 7.10          Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
SECTION 7.11          Specific Performance.  The Stockholder acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the Company and Parent shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, which shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any such breach.
SECTION 7.12          Submission to Jurisdiction.  The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if the Chancery Court declines jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the courts of the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 7.4 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other parties.
