Any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition of this Agreement which may legally be waived, may be waived, or the time of performance thereof extended, at any time by the party hereto entitled to the benefit thereof, and any term, condition or covenant hereof (including, without limitation, the period during which any condition is to be satisfied or any obligation performed) may be amended by the parties thereto at any time. Any such waiver, extension or amendment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing executed on behalf of the party against whom such waiver, extension or amendment is sought to be charged. No waiver by any party hereto, whether express or implied, of its rights under any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such party’s rights under such provisions at any other time or a waiver of such party’s rights under any other provision of this Agreement. No failure by any party thereof to take any action against any breach of this Agreement or default by another party shall constitute a waiver of the former party’s right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to take action against such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default by such other party.
7.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein.
7.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall be declared invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such invalid, void or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.
7.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party agrees to pay, without right of reimbursement from the other party, the costs incurred by it incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, costs incident to the preparation of this Agreement, and the fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and consultants employed by such party in connection herewith.
7.9 Headings. The table of contents and the section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.
7.10 Other Remedies; Injunctive Relief. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that subject to Section 7.13 hereof, the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court in the state of Nevada, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.

7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures shall be deemed valid and binding.
7.12 Governing Law. This Agreement has been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to the choice of law principles thereof.
7.13 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada. The parties to this Agreement agree that any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a breach occurring in the State of Nevada by virtue of a failure to perform an act required to be performed in the State of Nevada and irrevocably and expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada for the purpose of resolving any disputes among the parties relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court in respect hereof brought in the State of Nevada, and further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of Nevada has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
7.14 Participation of Parties. The parties hereby agree that they have consulted their respective counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
7.15 Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall deliver any and all other instruments or documents reasonably required to be delivered pursuant to, or necessary or proper in order to give effect to, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, all necessary stock powers and such other instruments of transfer as may be necessary or desirable to transfer full and complete ownership of the Sold HKHL Stock to the Company or the issuance of the applicable Securities to the Investors for the Consideration, as the case may be, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances.
7.16 Publicity. No public announcement or other publicity concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made without the prior written consent of both the Company and Investor as to form, content, timing and manner of distribution. Nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from making any filing required by federal or state securities laws or stock exchange rules of the United States of America.
7.17 No Solicitation. None of HKHL, Investor nor the Company shall authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, agents, representatives, managers, members, agents, or advisors to solicit, initiate or encourage or take any action to facilitate the submission of inquiries, proposals or offers from any person relating to any matter concerning any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization or similar transaction involving HKHL or the Company, respectively, other than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other transaction the consummation of which would or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or delay the Exchange or which would or could be expected to dilute the benefits to each of the parties of the transactions contemplated hereby. Investor and the Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions and negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing.
