Warburg and WP acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by it and that in addition to all other remedies the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, and Warburg and WP further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules regarding conflicts of laws.
