Nothing in this Section 3 will preclude an Investor from submitting a confidential proposal to the Chairman of the Company Board for a potential Change of Control transaction as long as such confidential proposal is made in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding such confidential proposal.

 

4.          Public Sale of Registrable Securities.

 

4.1        Registration Rights.

 

(a)          Form S-3. As long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary offerings, the Company will, no later than six months following the Closing Date (but no earlier than 15 Business Days prior to the date that is six months following the Closing) (as defined in the Merger Agreement), file and cause to be automatically effective or declared effective, as applicable, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which, as long as the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”), will be filed as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Shelf Registration Statement will remain continuously effective for the benefit of each Investor Group until the earlier of (i) the date on which such Investor Group collectively disposes of all Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the applicable Investor Group in excess of 1% of the then-outstanding Common Shares and (ii) the date that is three years after the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement became effective, subject to an extension equal to the aggregate number of days of any Blackout Periods. No later than 10 days prior to filing the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will notify the Investors of the intended filing date. The Investors will provide such information and other cooperation as the Company reasonably requests in connection with the preparation, filing and use of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), including information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1(a) to the contrary, the Company may delay the registration of Registrable Securities as necessary if the Investors fail to provide information within the scope of this sentence within a reasonable time after receiving a request. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) during the period beginning on the date hereof and through the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective. If the Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company no longer qualifies as a WKSI, the Company will, as and when required under the Securities Act, file an appropriate amendment to the Shelf Registration on Form S-3 so that it continues to be usable. In the event the Company is no longer qualified for registration on Form S-3 for the resale of the Registrable Securities, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect registration pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto to the same extent as the Company would be required to effect registrations on Form S-3, and any such registration statement shall be deemed to be a Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement.

 

 6 

 

 

(b)          Underwritten Demands.

 

(i)          At any time after the date that is six months following the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), on up to an aggregate of four occasions for all Investors collectively, an Investor (the “Demanding Investor”) will be entitled to deliver a notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement in an underwritten public offering (a “Underwritten Offering”), and the Company will reasonably promptly (and in any event within 30 days after the receipt of a Demand Notice) take all actions reasonably required, including preparing and, if required by applicable law, filing any amendment or supplement to the related prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or any other required document in such a manner as to permit such Investor to deliver or be deemed to deliver such prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and to enable such Registrable Securities to be offered, sold and distributed in the Underwritten public offering; provided that, if a Blackout Period exists at the time the Demand Notice is delivered, the Company will provide the Demanding Investor notice of the existence of the Blackout Period and the Company will not be required to take any action under this Section 4.1(b) during the pendency of any Blackout Period.

 

(ii)         Any Underwritten Offering initiated by a Demand Notice must include an amount of Registrable Securities (including the amount of Registrable Securities held by any Piggybacking Investors as further described below) having an aggregate value of at least $50,000,000 based on the anticipated offering price as reasonably determined in good faith by the Investor providing the Demand Notice (or a lesser amount if the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Investor to be included in such Demand Notice constitute all of the Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Investor); provided that the Investors may not deliver more than one Demand Notice in any three-month period. In connection with any such Underwritten Offering, the other Investors (the “Piggybacking Investors”) will be entitled to include all or a part of their respective Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Underwritten Offering have informed the Demanding Investor and the Piggybacking Investors in writing that it is their good faith opinion that the total amount of securities that the Demanding Investor and the Piggybacking Investors intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering, then there will be included in such offering the number or dollar amount of such securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of securities will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Demanding Investor and the Piggybacking Investors.

(iii)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary to this Agreement, if any Investor wishes to engage in an Underwritten Block Trade-off of the Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, (A) such Investor needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade no later than (I) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the second Business Day prior to the day the first Underwritten Block Trade is to commence (or if such Underwritten Block Trade is to commence on a Monday, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the prior Friday) or (II) 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day prior to the day any subsequent Underwritten Block Trade is to commence, (B) the Company shall notify the other Investors no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on the day such Underwritten Block Trade is to commence, (C) the other investors must elect whether or not to participate in the Underwritten Block Trade no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day such Underwritten Block Trade is to commence and (D) the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible, but subject to any Blackout Period, use its reasonable best efforts (including cooperating with the other Investors with respect to the provision of necessary information) to facilitate such Underwritten Block Trade (which may close as early as three Business Days after the date it commences); provided that the Demanding Investor requesting such Underwritten Block Trade shall use its reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters in order to facilitate preparation of the prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

 

(iv)       In connection with all Underwritten Offerings (including any Underwritten Block Trades) pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and (b), the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as other investment banks involved in the offering as underwriters or otherwise, will be selected by the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such offering with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

(c)          The Investors will provide such information and other cooperation as the Company reasonably requests in connection with the offering of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1, including information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act; provided that the Company may delay as necessary the offering of Registrable Securities if the Investor fails to provide information within the scope of this sentence within a reasonable time after receiving a request.

 

(d)          Piggyback Registration. Prior to filing a registration statement under the Securities Act for the registration of any Common Shares for its own account (other than a registration statement on a Form S-4 or S-8 or filed in connection with an exchange offer, an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, or a registration statement registering Common Shares that is issuable solely upon conversion of debt securities or a registration statement solely with respect to an equity compensation plan) in a manner that would also permit the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company will each such time promptly give each Investor written notice of its intent to file such registration statement, setting forth the date on which the Company intends to file such registration statement (or prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act relating to an effective shelf registration statement), which date shall be no earlier than ten Business Days from the date of such notice, and advising the Investors of their right to have Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon the written request of an Investor received by the Company no later than five Business Days after the date of the Company’s notice to such Investor, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to such registration statement (or included in such prospectus) all of the Registrable Securities that each such Investor has so requested to be registered or included, as applicable. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any Underwritten Offering advises the Company in writing (or, in the case of a non-Underwritten Offering, if in the reasonable opinion of the Company, the Company determines) that the total amount of securities to be so registered or included, as applicable, including such Registrable Securities, will exceed the maximum amount of the Company’s securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability or the price per share of the Common Shares proposed to be sold in such offering, then the Company shall be entitled to reduce the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering among the Investors on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered or included by the Investors in such offering).

 

 8 

 

 

(e)          Lock-up Agreements. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, whether or not such offering includes Registrable Securities, each Investor will, and will cause each member of its Investor Group to, not effect any public sale or distribution of Common Shares (except as part of such Underwritten Offering), including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any swap or other economic arrangement that transfers to another Person any of the economic consequences of owning Common Shares, during the time reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, not to exceed 90 days or such shorter period as the managing underwriter or underwriters shall agree to; provided, that if a managing underwriter or underwriters of an offering releases any Investor of its similar obligations, each other Investor shall be released from its obligations under this Section 4.1(e), on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities held by them at such time. In the event that a managing underwriter or underwriters requests that members of the Investor Groups not make public sales or distributions pursuant to this Section 4.1(e), each Investor will, and will cause applicable members of its Investor Group to, enter into a written agreement memorializing such obligations, which agreement will otherwise be on customary terms.

 

(f)           Each Investor shall promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days thereafter, provide written notice to the Company in the event that it ceases to beneficially own any Registrable Securities.

 

4.2        Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under Section 4.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company will:

(d)          to the extent required, use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as may be reasonably requested by an Investor; provided that the Company will not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or otherwise become subject to taxation or service of process in suits in any such jurisdictions where it is not already so qualified or subject;

 

(e)          in the event of any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, (i) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering, including requesting that its counsel provide customary legal opinions and that its independent public accountants provide customary comfort letters, and (ii) have members of its management participate in (and make documents available for) a reasonable number of due diligence sessions and, in the case of marketed offerings and investor calls and “road shows” (to the extent reasonably determined by the managing underwriter or underwriters to be a reasonable number necessary or desirable for a successful offering of the Registrable Securities);

(l)           deliver book-entry shares or certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement or, if not an Underwritten Offering, in accordance with the instructions of the Investors at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities and instruct any transfer agent and registrar of Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer orders in respect thereof and, in the case of Registrable Securities registered on an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, at the request of the Investors, prepare and deliver book-entry shares or certificates representing such Registrable Securities not bearing any restrictive legends and deliver or cause to be delivered an opinion or instructions to the transfer agent in order to allow such Registrable Securities to be sold from time to time; and

 

 11 

 

 

(m)         take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

4.3        Obligations of the Investors and Other Members of the Investor Groups. Whenever an Investor has requested that the Company effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under Section 4.1:

 

(a)          upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the type described in Sections 4.2(c)(ii), 4.2(c)(iii) or 4.2(c)(iv), each Investor will, and will cause each other member of its applicable Investor Group whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement to, discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement and suspend use of such registration statement or prospectus forming a part of such registration statement until the Company has provided an amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus or the Company has advised that the use of the registration statement or prospectus may be resumed; provided that, in the event that the Company gives any such notice, the period of time for which a registration statement must remain effective as set forth in Section 4.1 will be extended by the number of days during the time period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date on which the Company has either provided an amendment to such registration statement or prospectus or advised that the use of the registration statement or prospectus may be resumed;

 

(b)          in the event of any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities, each Investor will, and will cause any applicable member of its Investor Group whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement to, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering; and

 

(c)          in the event of any Underwritten Offering of securities by the Company, the Investor will, and will cause any other member of its Investor Group whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement to, if requested by the Company and any managing underwriter or underwriters, not directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Share held by them for such period that the executive officers and directors of the Company agree to with the managing underwriter or underwriters.

 

4.4        Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to this Section 4, including all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees and fees and disbursements of (i) counsel for the Company and (ii) reasonable and documented fees of one counsel for the Investors will be borne and paid by the Company; provided, that the Company shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of such counsel for the Investors in excess of (A) $10,000 for any Shelf Registration Statement for which Registrable Securities are included and (B) $35,000 for any Underwritten Offering (including any Underwritten Block Trade). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 4 will be borne and paid by the Investors on a pro rata basis.

 

 12 

 

 

4.5        Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 4:

 

(a)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Investor Group that has included Registrable Securities in a registration statement and such member’s officers, directors, managers, partners and shareholders, and each Person who controls such member (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), against any Damages, and the Company will reimburse each such member of the Investor Group, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.5(a) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, nor will the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such member of the Investor Group expressly for use in connection with such registration statement.

 

(b)          To the extent permitted by law, each Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who have signed the registration statement and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any Damages, and each Investor will reimburse the Company, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any member of such Investor Group that has included Registrable Securities in a registration statement expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.5(b) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Investor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

 13 

 

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.5, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it elects, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party that is reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) will have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if (i) representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action or (ii) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within 30 days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4.5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party has employed separate counsel in accordance with the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party will not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with local counsel), representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.5, except to the extent that the indemnifying party would be materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure to notify.

 

4.6        Reports Under Exchange Act by the Company. With a view to making available to each Investor Group the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a member of an Investor Group to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company will:

 

(a)          make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

 

(b)          use reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

 

(c)          furnish upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents filed by the Company with the SEC, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any member of the Investor Group of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.

 

4.7        Reports Under Exchange Act by the Investor and Other Members of the Investor Group. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the other members of the Investor Group will be solely responsible for any required filings under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act in connection with any acquisition or disposition of Common Shares.

 

 14 

 

 

5.          Resale Limitations.

 

5.1        Resale Limitations. Each Investor hereby agrees, and will cause each member of its Investor Group, not to, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, sell, assign or transfer or otherwise encumber, whether by pledge or otherwise, through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any Common Shares during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the six-month anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that members of an Investor Group may transfer Common Shares (i) to Affiliates of that same Investor Group without restriction; provided, however that such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) in connection with a Change of Control, and (iii) with respect solely to any GS Account, to the beneficiaries of such GS Account.

 

5.2        Limitations on Resales to Non-Passive Stockholders and Competitors. No Investor will, and each will cause each member of its Investor Group not to, sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, in one or more privately negotiated sale or sales, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) Common Shares to any Person or group that, together with its Affiliates, would be the beneficial owner, together with its Affiliates, of more than 5% of the then-outstanding Common Shares following such transfer(s), (B) Common Shares that constitute more than 4.5% of the then-outstanding Common Shares to any Person or group, or (C) Common Shares to any Person listed on Exhibit B or any Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that such sales or transfers referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) will be permitted to the extent (1) the purchasing Persons are “passive investors” (within the meaning of Rule 13(d)-1(c)) and file a Schedule 13G in respect of such Common Shares with the SEC or (2) the purchasing Persons are subject to a standstill agreement with the Company at least as restrictive to the purchasing Persons as the standstill obligations applicable to the Investor Group set forth in Section 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 will not apply (x) following a Change of Control, (y) to any transfer of Common Shares into a tender or exchange offer made by a third party that would result in a Change of Control, or (z) for the avoidance of doubt, to any public offering of Registrable Securities or any Underwritten Block Trade, or any broker-directed sale conducted over a securities exchange and/or pursuant to SEC Rule 144.

 

6.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Successors and Assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by either the Company, on the one hand, or an Investor, on the other hand, will be void, invalid and of no effect without the prior written consent of the Investors (in the case of the Company) or the Company (in the case of an Investor); provided, however, that the rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by an Investor to one or more member(s) of the Investor Group so long as the assignee(s) agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, that any such assignment will not release, or be construed to release, the Investor from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

 

 15 

 

 

(b)          Wider GS Activities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will restrict or prohibit any activities (including activities such as engaging in brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investing activity and other similar activities or any other activities conducted in the ordinary course of business) by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or its affiliates (including Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, except in respect of the GS Accounts to the extent restricted hereby) or its or their representatives (other than the applicable Investor Group and any Person acting at their express direction) (collectively, “Wider GS”), or require Wider GS to take any action (including procuring any restriction on any person), and further for the avoidance of doubt, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is part of Wider GS and is not a “GS Investor” hereunder and the obligations in this Agreement applicable to the GS Accounts are applicable solely to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acting for and on behalf of such GS Accounts, and any action or inaction by Wider GS shall not result in the breach of this Agreement by the GS Investors.

 

(c)          Termination. This Agreement will automatically terminate with respect to an Investor at such time as such Investor, together with its Affiliates, or any assignee of such Investor pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, together with such assignee’s Affiliates, no longer beneficially owns at least 1% of the outstanding Common Shares. Upon such termination, neither the Company nor the applicable Investor will have any further obligations or liabilities to each other hereunder other than pursuant Section 4.5 hereof; provided that such termination will not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

(d)          Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.

 

(e)          Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by portable document format (pdf) and in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(f)          Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. The use of the words “include” or “including” in this Agreement will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” will not be exclusive. References to statutes will include all regulations promulgated thereunder, and references to statutes will be construed to include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute or regulation as of the date hereof.
