Upon such a determination, the Parties 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.

Section 15              Governing Law.

(1)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of

 

law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(2)Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, the United States District court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the applicable appellate courts, the "Delaware Courts"), in any action or proceeding for preliminary or interim relief in aid of arbitration as provided in Section 15(3)(e) below, and each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Delaware Courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts. Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 15(2)(i) in the manner provided for notices in Section 17. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(3)The Parties hereby agree that in order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim arising out of or related to the Parties’ relationship, rights, duties and obligations hereunder, whether based on contract, tort or statute, and the substantive or procedural arbitrability of any claim hereunder) (each, a "Dispute"), all Disputes shall be exclusively resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act (the "DRAA", 10 Del. C. § 5801 et seq.) and the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Rules promulgated thereunder by the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware ("Rules") in effect at the time of the date of delivery of the notice of arbitration, except as modified herein.
(a)The arbitral panel shall consist of three arbitrators (the "Tribunal"). The situs of the arbitration shall be the State of Delaware, although the evidentiary and other proceedings shall be conducted in New York (Manhattan), New York. The Tribunal may conduct proceedings in other locations if necessary for the taking of evidence. The language of the arbitration proceedings, and of the arbitral award, shall be the English language. The Parties agree that (A) the claimant(s) and respondent(s) shall each appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) days of the date of delivery of the notice of arbitration; and (B) the two party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint the third arbitrator, who shall serve as the chair of the Tribunal, within twenty (20) days from the date of the appointment of the second arbitrator. Each member of the Tribunal

 

must be a former judge of the Delaware Supreme Court and/or Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, that in the event a former Delaware judge is unavailable to serve as arbitrator for one or more of the positions on the Tribunal, then the Parties shall submit a petition for the appointment of one or more arbitrators (as needed to complete the three-member Tribunal) to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware under Section 5805 of the DRAA. Any arbitrator not timely appointed as provided in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 15(3)(a) shall be appointed by the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 5805 of the DRAA. In the event that the Tribunal retains counsel in consultation with the parties hereto under Section 5806 of the DRAA, then such counsel shall be impartial and shall be knowledgeable about and experienced with the practice of law and have had at least fifteen (15) years of legal experience in the area of mergers and acquisitions or complex commercial transactions. Only the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall have the power and authority to appoint a new arbitrator in the event any arbitrator becomes unable to continue as arbitrator for any reason.

(b)The arbitration shall be deemed commenced when the claimant(s) deliver a notice of arbitration to all of the respondents in the manner provided for notices in Section 17. The Parties agree that the preliminary conference shall be no later than ten (10) days after the constitution of the Tribunal. The Parties agree that any service or written communication (including, the answer, any reply or exchange of information) under the DRAA or the Rules shall be made in a manner provided by Section 17 of this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed by the Parties. In connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder, the Tribunal shall allow reasonable requests for the production of documents relevant to the dispute and permit the taking of depositions limited to not more than five (5) persons on each side and for not more than six (6) hours in total for the deposition of each such person. Where reasonably necessary, depositions may be taken by videoconference or other telephonic means, or in the jurisdiction where a witness resides or regularly transacts business. The Tribunal may seek to compel the production of evidence from non-parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The arbitration hearing shall be limited to one (1) day, if the Tribunal deems such limitation appropriate, and provided that the Tribunal, where it considers it appropriate in order to provide any party with a full and fair opportunity to be heard, may require a hearing be held over the course of more than one day, and shall be conducted as soon as reasonably practicable after the constitution of the Tribunal, as determined by the Tribunal.
(c)For the purposes of DRAA § 5808(b), and all other purposes, the Tribunal shall issue its final award as promptly as practicable, taking into account the nature of the claims and any other facts or circumstances the Tribunal deems relevant, but in no event later than ninety (90) calendar days after the close of the arbitration hearing. The Parties agree that the Tribunal may extend any deadline set forth in Section 15(3)(b) and this Section 15(3)(c) if, in its own discretion, more time is needed in light of the nature of the claims and the

 

relevant facts and circumstances. The Tribunal is authorized to award monetary damages and to grant specific performance of this Agreement and other injunctive relief, including interim relief pending the final award. The Parties hereto shall bear their own costs incurred in connection with the arbitration and share equally the fees and expenses of the Tribunal and the costs of administration.

(d)The Parties agree that any arbitral panel constituted under the DRAA to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall also have jurisdiction over each Party hereto, and may also resolve disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement. The Parties intend that the rights of all parties relating to the enforcement of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty shall be determined as quickly as possible, and no Party shall object to being named as a party to such a proceeding to resolve any Dispute. The Parties further consent and agree that any arbitral panel constituted under the DRAA to resolve a dispute arising under or relating to the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty shall also have jurisdiction over each Party hereto, and may also resolve Disputes. The Parties further agree that in the event an arbitral proceeding under this Section 15(3) has been commenced, any dispute arising under or relating to the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty thereafter arising shall be consolidated with and into the arbitral proceeding already commenced hereunder; and that in the event an arbitral proceeding has been commenced as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty, any Dispute thereafter arising shall be consolidated with and into the arbitral proceeding already commenced as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty, such that all disputes arising under this Section 15(3), the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty shall proceed in one consolidated arbitration; provided, however, an arbitral tribunal constituted under this Section 15(3), the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty shall, prior to consolidation of the arbitration proceeding, and after providing all interested parties the opportunity to comment on such consolidation, have the authority to order that consolidation shall not occur if it determines that (i) there are no common questions of law or fact in the arbitrations to be consolidated; (ii) the proceedings in the arbitration before it would be improperly delayed or disrupted, or a party would otherwise suffer undue prejudice, by consolidation; or (iii) consolidation would not be more efficient than separate arbitral proceedings. In order to give effect to consolidation as provided herein, the arbitral tribunal constituted under this Section 15(3), the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty shall have the authority to extend its deadline to hold a preliminary conference or render a final award as provided in Section 15(3)(b) and Section 15(3)(c), respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, the presumption shall be in favor of consolidation of all proceedings

 

arising under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Guaranty.

(e)Nothing in this Section 15(3) shall prevent a Party from seeking provisional, interim or conservatory measures in aid of arbitration from the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware at any time if any such Party believes in good faith that it will suffer irreparable injury before the Tribunal has been appointed or before the Tribunal has had time to render a final award. Any such request by a Party to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for provisional, interim or conservatory measures shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 15(3), the DRAA or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
(f)The arbitral award shall be final and non-appealable. Judgment upon the arbitral award may be entered by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DRAA, and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties hereby agree to waive any claim that this agreement to arbitrate is not valid under the Laws of the U.S., any foreign country or any international agreement.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, and in furtherance of Section 15 of this Agreement, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any legal proceeding conducted under this Section 15(3) shall be governed by or construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws and regardless of whether the laws of the State of Delaware govern the Parties’ other rights, remedies, liabilities, powers and duties.
(4)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties and the Corporation agree that any action or proceeding of any kind or nature, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise seeking relief against the Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement or that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the Debt Financing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any Alternative Financing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Definitive Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Debt Commitment Letter (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (including the transactions contemplated thereby) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The Debt Financing Sources are an express third-party beneficiary of this Section 15(4).

Section 16              Specific Performance.

The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Vendor shall be entitled to specific performance (or other equitable relief) to cause Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to effect the Closing to the extent CIT is entitled to, and exercises its right to, specific performance under Section 11.13 of the

 

Purchase Agreement to cause Bidco to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to effect the closing of, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance (or other equitable relief) to cause Vendor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to effect the Closing to the extent Bidco is entitled to, and exercises its right to, specific performance under Section 11.13 of the Purchase Agreement to cause CIT to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to effect the closing of, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief in such circumstances. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Vendor agrees, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and the Corporation, that none of the Debt Financing Sources shall have any liability or obligation to the Vendor, any of its Subsidiaries or the Corporation relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein (including the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing). The Debt Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of this paragraph and this paragraph shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Vendor, its Subsidiaries and the Corporation.
