30-day period.

                    (a) First Refusal Right.

 

 

 

                    (i) Subject to Sections 5(c) and 6, to the extent the WCAS Majority Holders consent to such Transfer, at least 30 days prior to any Transfer of any Stockholder Shares (other than an Exempt Transfer or a Transfer pursuant to a Sale of the Company) by a Management Stockholder or Co-Investor, the transferring Management Stockholder or Co-Investor (the “Transferring Stockholder”) shall deliver a written notice (a “First Refusal Notice”) to the holders of WCAS Shares and, in the case of a proposed Transfer by a Management Stockholder, to the Co-Investors. With respect to any such notice, (i) in the case of any proposed Transfer by a Co-Investor, the holders of WCAS Shares are collectively referred to as the “Offerees,” and (ii) in the case of any proposed Transfer by a Management Stockholder, the holders of WCAS Shares and the Co-Investors are collectively referred to as the “Offerees.” The First Refusal Notice shall

9



 

 

 

disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of Stockholder Shares to be transferred (such shares being herein referred to as the “Subject Shares”), the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the proposed transferee(s). The Transferring Stockholder will not deliver a First Refusal Notice to the Offerees unless and until it has received a bon fide offer from the named proposed transferee(s) to effect the Transfer in question. The purchase price specified in any First Refusal Notice shall be payable solely in cash at the closing of the transaction or in installments over time.

 

 

 

                    (ii) After receipt of a First Refusal Notice, each Offeree may elect to purchase all or a portion of the Subject Shares specified in the First Refusal Notice at the price and on the terms specified therein, by delivering written notice of such election (the “Election Notice”) to the Transferring Stockholder within 20 days (the “Election Period”) after delivery of the First Refusal Notice (each such electing Offeree being referred to herein as an “Electing Offeree”). Such Election Notice shall constitute a firm offer to purchase the Subject Shares and shall remain open for a minimum of 90 days following the expiration of the Election Period. Each Offeree shall be entitled to purchase a number of Subject Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the number of Stockholder Shares owned by such Offeree by (B) the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares owned by all Offerees (excluding for this purpose any Stockholder Shares of any Offeree underlying options or convertible securities that have not been exercised or converted), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Subject Shares. In addition, each Electing Offeree that designated in its Election Notice that it desires to acquire Subject Shares that other Offerees declined to purchase shall be entitled to purchase an additional number of Subject Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the number of Stockholder Shares owned by such Electing Offeree by (B) the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares owned by all Electing Offerees (excluding for this purpose any Stockholder Shares of any Electing Offeree underlying options or convertible securities that have not been exercised or converted), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Subject Shares that other Offerees declined to purchase. Thereafter, any unallocated Subject Shares specified in the First Refusal Notice will be further allocated in a similar manner as may be necessary until all of the Subject Shares have been allocated; provided, that in any event, no Electing Offeree will be allocated more than the maximum number of Subject Shares that such Electing Offeree specified in its Election Notice.

 

 

 

                    (iii) If the Offerees, in the aggregate, have elected to purchase from the Transferring Stockholder all but not less than all of the Subject Shares, then the Transfer of such shares to the Offerees shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the Election Notice(s) to the Transferring Stockholder, but in any event within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Election Period. If the Electing Offerees have not elected to purchase all of the Subject Shares being offered, then the Transferring Stockholder may, within 90 days after the expiration of the Election Period, Transfer all of the Subject Shares to the proposed transferee(s) named in the First Refusal Notice at the price specified in the First Refusal Notice and on terms no more favorable to the proposed transferee(s) than those specified in the First Refusal Notice. If such Subject Shares are not so transferred within such 90-day period, than they shall be reoffered to the Offerees

10



 

 

 

under this Section 5(a) prior to any subsequent Transfer (other than an Exempt Transfer or a Transfer pursuant to a Sale of the Company).

                    (b) Tag Along Rights. Subject to Sections 5(c) and 6, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to any Transfer (other than an Exempt Transfer) by any WCAS Investor (the “Selling Investor Stockholder”) of any Stockholder Shares, such Selling Investor Stockholder shall deliver a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Company and each other Stockholder (the “Other Stockholders”), specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective Transferee(s), the number and class of Stockholder Shares to be so Transferred and any other material terms and conditions of the Transfer. The Other Stockholders may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to the Selling Investor Stockholder within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Sale Notice. If any Other Stockholder has elected to participate in such Transfer, each of the Selling Investor Stockholders and such Other Stockholders shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of Stockholder Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the number of Stockholder Shares owned by such Stockholder (including any shares underlying vested employee stock options or securities convertible or exercisable for Stockholder Shares) by (B) the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares owned by the Selling Investor Stockholder and the Other Stockholders participating in such Transfer (including any shares underlying vested employee stock options or securities convertible or exercisable for Stockholder Shares), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. Each Stockholder transferring Stockholder Shares pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall pay its pro rata share (based on the relative amounts of proceeds received as a result of such Transfer) of the expenses incurred by the Stockholders in connection with such Transfer.

                    (c) Permitted Transfers. The restrictions set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Stockholder Shares by (i) any Stockholder (x) in the case of a Stockholder that is a natural person, to such Stockholder’s Family Group, including, without limitation, following such person’s death, by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution or (y) in the case of any other Stockholder, (A) to its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers and employees and (B) if such Person is a partnership, corporation or a limited liability company, to its partners, stockholders or members pursuant to the terms and conditions of its partnership, corporate, limited liability company or other organizational documents, (ii) any Co-Investor that holds Sub Debt to any Person to whom such holder is transferring a pro rata portion of such debt held by such holder, based on the portion of the debt being transferred, or (iii) WCAS X or WCAS Management Corporation, up to an aggregate of $300,000 of Common Stock (based on the issuance price thereof pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) to Jim Martell (or an investment vehicle designated by Jim Martell), provided that such Transfer must be completed within nine (9) months of the date hereof. Prior to any proposed transferee’s acquisition of Stockholder Shares pursuant to a Transfer permitted by this Section 5(c), such proposed transferee must agree to take such Stockholder Shares subject to and fully bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to such Stockholder Shares by executing a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and delivering such executed joinder to the Secretary of the Company prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer (unless such Transfer is pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution, in which case,

11


such executed joinder shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company as soon as reasonably possible after such Transfer). All transferees acquiring Stockholder Shares and executing a joinder in compliance with this Section 5(c) are collectively referred to herein as “Permitted Transferees”.

                    6. Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Section 5 shall continue with respect to each Stockholder Share until the earlier of (i) the Transfer of such Stockholder Share in a Sale of the Company, or (ii) the consummation of an Initial Public Offering.

                    (a) In addition to any legend required by any other document, each certificate evidencing Stockholder Shares and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Stockholder Shares (if such shares remain Stockholder Shares after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON AUGUST 1, 2006, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 1, 2006 AND AS AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, BETWEEN THE ISSUER (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN INVESTORS, AND THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.

                    (b) The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Stockholder Shares outstanding prior to the date hereof. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be Stockholder Shares. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company shall remove the Securities Act portion of the legend set forth above from the certificate or certificates for such Stockholder Shares; provided, that such Stockholder Shares are eligible (as reasonably determined by the Company) for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act.

                    (c) If requested by the Company, no Stockholder may Transfer any Stockholder Shares (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable in

12


form and substance to the Company, that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such Transfer. If such opinion of counsel further states that no subsequent Transfer of such Stockholder Shares will require registration under the Securities Act (including due to such Stockholder Shares being eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule or rules then in effect) under the Securities Act), the Company will promptly upon such Transfer deliver new certificates for such securities which do not bear the Securities Act portion of the legend set forth in Section 7(a).

                    8. Transfer. Prior to transferring any Stockholder Shares (other than in connection with a Public Sale or a Sale of the Company) to any Person, the transferring Stockholder shall cause the prospective transferee to be bound by this Agreement and to execute and deliver to the Company and the other Stockholders a counterpart of this Agreement.

                    9. Sale of the Company.

                    (a) If the WCAS Majority Holders approve a Sale of the Company and deliver written notice to the holders of Stockholders Shares invoking the provisions of this Section 9 (any such sale, an “Approved Sale”), the holders of Stockholders Shares shall consent to, vote in favor of and raise no objections against the Approved Sale (or the process associated therewith).

                    (b) If the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger or consolidation, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall vote all of such holder’s Stockholder Shares to approve such merger or consolidation, whether by written consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Board) and waive all dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights and similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation, (ii) a sale of stock, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall agree to sell, and shall sell, all of such holder’s Stockholder Shares and rights to acquire Stockholder Shares on the terms and conditions so approved by the Board and the WCAS Majority Holders, or (iii) a sale of assets, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall vote all of such holders Stockholder Shares to approve such sale and any subsequent liquidation of the Company or other distribution of the proceeds therefrom, whether by written consent or at a stockholders meeting (as requested by the Board).

                    (c) In furtherance of the foregoing, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall take, with respect to such holder’s Stockholder Shares, all necessary or desirable actions requested by the WCAS Majority Holders in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale, including, without limitation, voting to approve such transaction and the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to provide customary representations, warranties, indemnities and escrow arrangements relating to such Approved Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9, (i) each Co-Investor will only be required to make customary representations and warranties with respect to itself and its ownership of the Stockholder Shares, including due power and authority, enforceability, non- contravention and title to and ownership of the Stockholder Shares, and (ii) no Co-Investor shall be obligated to join in any indemnification obligation that provides for the joint and several liability of such Co-Investor. In no event shall any Stockholder be liable in respect of any indemnity obligations with respect to such holder and the Company and its Subsidiaries in general pursuant to any Approved Sale in an aggregate amount in excess of the total

13


consideration payable to such holder in such Approved Sale. In addition, the obligations of each Stockholder with respect to the Approved Sale pursuant to Section 9 are subject to the satisfaction of the condition that each holder of Stockholder Shares will receive the same form and amount of consideration with respect to each Stockholder Share as each other holder receives with respect to such holder’s Stockholder Shares of the same class or series, subject to the terms of Management Agreement, the terms of this Agreement and customary reimbursement for expenses incurred, and each Management Stockholder is required to sell no more than the same proportion of the shares being sold by each of the Investor Stockholders. In connection with any Transfer pursuant to this Section 9, the Other Stockholders shall not be required to give any greater representations or warranties than those given by the WCAS Investors.

                    (d) If the Company or the WCAS Majority Holders enter into any negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), each holder of Stockholder Shares that is not an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, shall at the request of the Company, appoint a “purchaser representative”(as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Stockholder Shares appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company shall pay the fees of such purchaser representative. However, if any holder of Stockholder Shares declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company, such holder shall appoint another purchaser representative (reasonably acceptable to the Company), and such holder shall be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed.

                    (e) Subject to subparagraph (d) above, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall bear its pro rata share (based upon the amount of consideration received or proposed to be received in the Approved Sale) of the costs of any Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all such Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by the Stockholders on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the Approved Sale; provided, that in any event the Company shall pay the attorney’s fees and expenses of one (1) counsel chosen by the WCAS Majority Holders in connection with the Approved Sale.

                    10. Subscription Rights.

                    (a) Except for any issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to a Permitted Issuance, if the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any of its Equity Securities or any Equity Securities of any of its Subsidiaries (the “Offered Securities”) to any WCAS Investor, the Company shall promptly deliver to each other Stockholder a notice (the “PR Notice”) of its intention to sell or otherwise issue Equity Securities setting forth a description and the number of the Equity Securities and any other securities proposed to be issued and the proposed purchase price and terms of sale. If the Equity Securities are to be offered for property other than cash, the Board shall make a good faith determination of the fair market value of the property proposed to be received for such Equity Securities and such determination shall constitute the price at which such Equity Securities will be offered for purposes of the PR Notice and this Section 10. Upon

14


receipt of the PR Notice, each Stockholder shall have the right to elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms stated in the PR Notice, a portion of such Equity Securities equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the number of Stockholder Shares held by such Stockholder (including any shares underlying vested employee stock options or securities convertible or exercisable for Stockholder Shares) by (2) the aggregate number of Stockholder Shares then held by all Stockholders (including any shares underlying vested employee stock options or securities convertible or exercisable for Stockholder Shares) multiplied by (ii) the number of Offered Securities proposed to issued; provided, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Company is issuing Equity Securities together as a unit with the issuance of any debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then any Stockholder who elects to purchase such Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 10 must also purchase a corresponding proportion of such other debt securities, all at the proposed purchase price and on terms of sale as specified in the applicable PR Notice. The right of purchase provided to each Stockholder in this Section 10(a) shall not apply to the issuance of Common Stock to the WCAS Investors pursuant to the WCAS Purchase Right as contemplated by Section 11 herein.

                    (b) In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, a Stockholder must, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the PR Notice, deliver a written notice to the Company describing its election hereunder. If all of the Equity Securities offered to the Stockholders are not fully subscribed by such Stockholders, the remaining Equity Securities shall be reoffered by the Company to the Stockholders purchasing their full allotment upon the terms set forth in this Section 10, except that such Stockholders must exercise their purchase rights within five (5) business days after receipt of such reoffer.

                    (c) Upon the expiration of the offering periods described above, the Company shall be entitled to sell such Equity Securities which the Stockholders have not elected to purchase during the 90 days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those specified in the PR Notice. Any Equity Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 90-day period must be reoffered to the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.

                    (d) The rights of the Stockholders under this Section 10 shall terminate upon the consummation of an Initial Public Offering.

                    (e) Nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to prevent any WCAS Investor or their respective Affiliates from purchasing for cash any Equity Securities without first complying with the provisions of this Section 10; provided, that (i) in connection with such purchase the delay caused by compliance with the provisions of this Section 10 in connection with such investment would be likely to cause harm to the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary); (ii) the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) gives prompt notice to the other holders of Stockholder Shares, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Equity Securities (and other securities, if any) being purchased by the Person making such purchase (for purposes of this Section 10, the “Purchasing Holder”) and the purchase price thereof and (iii) the Purchasing Holder and the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) take all steps necessary to enable the holders of Stockholder Shares to effectively exercise their respective rights under this

15


Section 10 with respect to their purchase of a pro rata share of the Equity Securities (and other securities, if any) issued to the Purchasing Holder as promptly as reasonably practicable after such purchase by the Purchasing Holder on the terms specified in Section 10(a).

                    11. Certain Issuances of Additional Common Stock. In the event that the Board determines at any time or from time to time commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Option Period”) that the Company requires or intends to raise additional equity capital to fund (i) an acquisition of a business, line of business or assets or (ii) to support internally generated growth, the WCAS Investors will have the exclusive right and option (but not the obligation) to subscribe for and purchase, at the same price and upon the same terms contained in the Purchase Agreement, all or any portion of the first $25,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Maximum Amount”) of such additional Common Stock (the “WCAS Purchase Right”). If the Board makes such a determination and the WCAS Investors elect to exercise the WCAS Purchase Right, the Company agrees that it will sell and issue shares of Common Stock to the WCAS Investors at the same price and upon the same terms contained in the Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Board determines during the Option Period to pursue an acquisition or any undertaking to support internal growth as contemplated by this Section 11, the WCAS Investors will have the right to acquire any equity issued by the Company that relates to such determination (subject to the Maximum Amount), whether or not the issuance of such equity is consummated prior to the end of the Option Period.

                    12. Transfers in Violation of Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Stockholder Shares in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Stockholder Shares as the owner of such shares for any purpose.

                    13. Additional Parties; Joinder. Subject to Section5, the Company shall require any Person who acquires any shares of Common Stock (whether from another Stockholder or from the Company, including upon exercise or conversion of any Equity Securities) after the date hereof (the “Acquired Securities”) to become a party to this Agreement and to succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “holder of Stockholder Shares” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of the joinder by such Person, such Person’s Acquired Securities shall be Stockholder Shares hereunder, and such Person shall be a “holder of Stockholder Shares” under this Agreement with respect to the Acquired Securities. Furthermore, to the extent such person (i) is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or acquires such Acquired Securities from a Management Stockholder, such Person shall be deemed to be a “Management Stockholder” hereunder, (ii) acquires such Acquired Securities from a Co-Investor, such Person shall be deemed to be a “Co-Investor” hereunder, or (iii) acquires such Acquired Securities from a WCAS Investor or its Transferees, such Person shall be deemed to be a “WCAS Investor” hereunder. Each Additional Stockholder shall be added by the Company to Schedule A attached hereto, and the Company shall amend and restate such Schedule A from time to time to reflect the addition of such Additional Stockholders; provided, that such amendment shall not be subject to Section 15 of this Agreement.

16


                    14. Termination. This Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3 hereof) will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately after the consummation of an Approved Sale.

                    15. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against the Company or the holders of Stockholder Shares unless such modification, amendment or waiver is approved in writing by the Company and the WCAS Majority Holders; provided, that any such modification, amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects any Stockholder or class of Stockholders in a manner that does not similarly affect all similarly situated Stockholders cannot be effected without the consent of such Stockholder or class of Stockholders. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

                    16. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

                    17. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

                    18. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns and the Stockholders and any subsequent holders of Stockholder Shares and the respective successors and assigns of each of them, so long as they hold Stockholder Shares (and hold or have received Stockholder Shares in accordance with the terms hereof).

                    19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic copy), each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                    20. Remedies. The parties hereto shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Company or any Stockholder may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent

17


jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

                    21. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will only be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier, or sent via facsimile to the recipient. Such notices, demands and other communications will be sent to each Stockholder at the addresses indicated on Schedule A, attached hereto and to the Company at the address indicated below:

                    22. Governing Law. Issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or

18


any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even though under Delaware’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

                    23. Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. As a specifically bargained inducement for each of the parties to enter into this Agreement (with each party having had opportunity to consult counsel), each party hereto expressly and irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury in any lawsuit or legal proceeding relating to or arising in any way from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and any lawsuit or legal proceeding relating to or arising in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction by a judge sitting without a jury.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to its address set forth in Section 21.

                    25. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
