2.4           Certain Corporate Matters. Priveco is duly qualified to do business as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and in each other jurisdiction in which the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Priveco’s financial condition, results of operations or business.  Priveco has full corporate power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to carry on the business in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

 

 7 

 

  

2.5           Authority Relative to this Agreement.  Priveco has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its respective obligations hereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Priveco have been duly authorized by Priveco’s board of directors and no other actions on the part of Priveco are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Priveco and constitutes a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against Priveco in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 

2.6           Consents and Approvals; No Violations.  Except for applicable requirements of foreign and United States federal securities laws and state securities or blue-sky laws, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any third party, public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by Priveco of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Priveco nor the consummation by Priveco of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by them with any of the provisions hereof, will: (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the Organizational Documents or bylaws (or operating agreement) of Priveco, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, Contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Priveco is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Priveco, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not in the aggregate material to Priveco taken as a whole.

11.2         Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  References to Sections and Articles refer to sections and articles of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.

 

11.3         Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to preserve each party’s anticipated benefits under this Agreement.

 

11.4         Miscellaneous. This Agreement (together with all other documents and instruments referred to herein): (a) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; (b) except as expressly set forth herein, is not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

 

11.5         Separate Counsel. Each Party hereby expressly acknowledges that it has been advised to seek its own separate legal counsel for advice with respect to this Agreement.

 

 35 
 

 

11.6         Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a Party or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles.  Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an  inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  If any Party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Agreement, then the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other Party(s) for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

11.7         Counterparts and Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, each other Party shall re-execute original forms hereof and deliver them in person to all other Parties. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

 

11.8         Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by Priveco, Pubco and holders of a majority of the equity interests of Priveco and the holders of a majority of outstanding voting stock of Pubco; provided that, the consent of any Priveco Stockholder or Pubco Stockholder that is a party to this Agreement shall be required if the amendment or modification would disproportionately affect such stockholder (other than by virtue of their ownership of Priveco or Exchange Shares, as applicable).

 

 36

11.10         Waiver. No waiver by any party of any default or breach by another party of any representation, warranty, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or breach by such party of the same or any other representation, warranty, covenant or condition. No act, delay, omission or course of dealing on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice any of such party’s rights, powers and remedies. All remedies, whether at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and the election of any one or more shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

 

11.11         Expenses. At or prior to the Closing, the Parties shall pay all of their own expenses relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of their respective counsel and financial advisers.
