In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; and

 

(iii)          No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification could be sought under this Section unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Counterparts. The Parties may execute and deliver this Agreement as a single document or in any number of counterparts, manually, by facsimile or by other electronic means, including contemporaneous photocopy or electronic reproduction by each Party's respective attorneys. Each counterpart shall be an original, but a single document or all counterparts together shall constitute one instrument that shall be the agreement.

 

(b)          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

 

(c)          Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Georgia, and each of the Parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the District of Georgia and any court hearing any appeal therefrom, over any suit, action, or proceeding against it arising out of or based upon this Agreement (a "Related Proceeding"). Each of the Parties hereto also agrees not to bring any Related Proceeding in any other court. Each of the Parties hereto hereby waives any objection to any Related Proceeding in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Each Party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents required or contemplated hereby, it has been represented by and relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice. Each Party hereby affirms that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. Therefore, each Party agrees that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, covenant and investment right contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

(e)          Specific Enforcement. The Parties stipulate that the remedies at law of the Parties hereto in the event of any default or threatened default by any Party in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

 

(f)          Remedies Cumulative. Any and all remedies set forth in this Agreement: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies the Parties may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as each of the Parties may elect. The exercise of any remedy by any Party shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude such Party from exercising any other remedies in the future. The prevailing Party in any Related Proceeding shall be entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including experts’ and witness fees and costs) from the unsuccessful Party.

 

(g)          Obligations. Each Party agrees that the Parties have negotiated in good faith and at arms' length concerning the transactions contemplated herein, and that another Party would not have agreed to the terms of this Agreement without each and every of the terms, conditions, protections and remedies provided herein.

 

 

(h)          Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in any and all respects, but only by a written instrument signed by the Parties expressly stating that such instrument is intended to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement.

 

(i)          Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (i) the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender and neuter gender of such term; (ii) accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) references herein to "Articles", "Sections", "Subsections", "Paragraphs" and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require; (iv) a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions; (v) the words "herein", "hereof", "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision; (vi) the term "include" or "including" shall mean without limitation; (vii) the table of contents to this Agreement and all section titles or captions contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit annexed hereto or referred to herein are for convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (viii) any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statues and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; and (ix) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of an individual, to his or her heirs and estate, as applicable.

 

(j)          Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
