The execution, delivery and performance by Select of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby require no approval of, filing with, or other action by Select, by or in respect of, any governmental body, agency or official or any other person, other than any filings by Select or its affiliates required to be made under the Exchange Act.

 

3.3                            This Agreement has been (a) duly executed and delivered by Select and (b) assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sellers, constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Select, enforceable against Select in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

6.4                            No Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party or parties, as the case may be, and any purported assignment, delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or the respective successors and permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided by this Agreement, and except as thus expressly provided no person other than the parties hereto or the respective successors and permitted assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto shall have any standing as a third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.5                            Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however, that the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby not thereby be affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall (subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence) negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

6.6                            Cooperation; Further Assurances. Select, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, at the request of the other such party, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party agrees to use

 



 

commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Article IV to be satisfied, where the satisfaction of such conditions is within the control of, or depends on action or forbearance from action by such party. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of Select, on the one hand, or either Seller, on the other hand, such other party, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents or other writings as may be reasonably necessary to confirm and carry out, and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of, this Agreement.

 

6.7                            Entire Agreement. 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, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 

6.8                            Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, representations, warranties or covenants hereof may be waived, only by written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.

 

6.9                            Counterparts, Execution, Headings. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail with a PDF scanned attachment) in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, and are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

6.10                        Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement; (iv) the terms “ Article” or “Section” refer to the specified Article or Section of this Agreement; (v) the term “including” means “including without limitation”; (vi) the term “foreign” is used with respect to the United States; and (vii) “dollars” and “$” refer to United States Dollars. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless business days are specified, and the term “business day” shall mean a day on which banks in the United States are open for business, but excluding Saturdays and Sundays.

 

6.11                        Governing Law. This Agreement, and any claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether at law or in equity, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise), shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to, or otherwise giving effect to, any law, body of law or other rule that would cause or otherwise require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

6.12                        Venue; Jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding against either Select or any Seller arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether at law or in equity, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise), shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if but only if, the Delaware Court of Chancery

 



 

declines to accept jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), and Select and the Sellers irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in respect of any such action or proceeding, agree that such courts are convenient forums for such purpose, agree not to transfer or remove any such action or proceeding to any other court, and agree that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected in any manner (other than via telecopy or facsimile transmission) by which notices may be delivered pursuant to, and at the address specified in, Section 6.3 hereof, in addition to any other method of service permitted by applicable law. Any actions or proceedings to enforce an order or judgment issued by such courts may be brought in any jurisdiction.

 

6.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, SELECT AND EACH SELLER HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE). SELECT AND EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THAT THIS SECTION 6.13 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH IT IS RELYING, AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. SELECT OR ANY SELLER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.13 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

6.14 No Strict Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement with counsel sophisticated in transactions of this type. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

6.15 Publicity. Select and the Sellers shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party or parties, as the case may be; provided, however, a party may, without the prior consent of the other party or parties, as the case may be (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances), issue such press release or make such public statement upon the advice of outside counsel to such party, as may be required by law.

 

6.16 Expenses. The Sellers and Select shall bear their own expenses and legal fees incurred on their behalf with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.17 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific

 



 

terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties hereto shall be entitled (without necessity of posting bond or other security) to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of, and to specific performance of, the provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
