17.         Governing Law. The validity, construction, operation and effect of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be determined and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of any other state. Each of the parties to this Agreement (a) consents to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in such court, (c) agrees that such party shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served in a manner permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

 

18.         Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any covenant, obligation or agreement set forth in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party hereto hereby agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by him or it of any covenant, obligation or agreement contained in this Agreement, such failure to perform or breach will cause the other parties to sustain damages for which it or he would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and thus such party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to, and the other parties agree not to oppose, (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or agreement and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that no party hereto shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 18, and each party irrevocably waives any right such party may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
