(iii) if sent to a Shareholder, then to the Shareholders address, facsimile, or email, as applicable, as set forth on Exhibit A, and to ID&T Worldwide as provided above, and
(iv) if sent to a Party other than ID&T Worldwide or a Shareholder, then to such Partys address, facsimile, or email, as applicable, as set forth beneath such Partys signature block on the applicable signature page hereto, together with a copy of such Notice delivered to the recipient indicated to which such copy should be delivered.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing contact information set forth or referenced in this Section 7.1(a), a Party is permitted to validly deliver a Notice pursuant hereto to such other address, facsimile, or email or to the attention of such Person or Persons as the recipient Party has specified by prior Notice (in accordance with Section 7.1) to the sending Party (or, in the case of counsel, to such other readily, ascertainable business address as such counsel might hereafter maintain). If more than one method for sending Notice as set forth in Section 7.1(a) is used, then the earliest notice date established as set forth in Section 7.1(a) will control for purposes of determining when such Notice is deemed to have been given.
7.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the SPA, each Party will be responsible for bearing such Partys expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement, including all fees and expenses of the Parties respective agents, Representatives, brokers, counsel (internal and outside), consultants, advisers and accountants.
7.3 Conflict with the Articles of Association of ID&T Worldwide. If there is any conflict between the provisions of the articles of association of ID&T Worldwide and this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement will prevail to the fullest extent possible. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that some of the
36
arrangements included are different from the transfer-restriction clauses in the articles of association of ID&T Worldwide. This deviation, however, is expressly agreed and accepted by the Parties in their mutual contractual relations as established through this Agreement. The Parties shall act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and cooperate in the effectuation of any transaction in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In particular, each Party shall waive any rights under the articles of association of ID&T Worldwide to the extent such waiver is necessary to procure that the provisions of this Agreement are able to be applied in such manner as is described herein.
7.4 Amendments; Waivers.
(a) This Agreement can be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and is signed by each Party, other than the ID&T Shareholders and other than the Ultimate ID&T Shareholders; except that Article 6 can be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and is signed by each Party. Any amendment hereto that signed and delivered in accordance with this Section 7.4(a) will be effective as against all Parties, and, upon SFXs request, each Party shall sign any such amendment that is so signed and delivered. Each ID&T Party (other than One of Us) hereby appoints One of Us and each Person that One of Us might designate, individually, as such ID&T Partys proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to sign any such amendment. The proxy and power of attorney granted by each ID&T Party as set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence is irrevocable during the term hereof, is deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and operates to revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney that such ID&T Party might have granted with respect to the subject matter of such proxy. The power of attorney granted by each ID&T Party pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) is a durable power of attorney and will survive such ID&T Partys incapacity, bankruptcy, or dissolution.
(b) No waiver by any Party of such Partys rights, powers, or privileges hereunder, will be binding against any other Party. No such waiver by a Party will be enforceable against such Party unless such waiver was given in a written instrument signed by such Party. The waiver by any Party of any of such Partys rights, powers, or privileges hereunder arising because of any claimed breach, default, or misrepresentation under or with respect to a provision hereof, whether intentional or not, will not thereby extend (and will not be deemed to thereby extend) to any prior separate or subsequent breach, default, or misrepresentation, respectively, by such Party or by another Party and will not affect in any way any rights, powers, or privileges arising by virtue of any such prior separate or subsequent occurrence. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any of such Partys rights, powers, or privileges hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder or otherwise.
(c) Emails, including emails that bear an electronic signature block identifying the sender, do not constitute signed writings for purposes of this Section 7.3.
37
7.5 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 5.5, each Party shall not, and shall not purport to, assign any of such Partys rights hereunder, delegate any of such Partys obligations hereunder, or delegate such Partys performance in satisfaction of any conditions to any obligations of any other Party hereunder (and shall not enter into any Contract that requires any such assignment or delegation) without the prior written consent of each other Party, and any such purported assignment or delegation without obtaining such written consent will be void; except that a Shareholder is permitted to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder in connection with a Permitted Transfer by the Shareholder in accordance with Section 3.2.
7.6 Arbitration.
(a) If any dispute arises between or among any of the Parties (the Disputing Parties) under this Agreement, then the Disputing Parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute through direct negotiation with each other. If such dispute (Dispute) is not resolved within 20 days after a demand for direct negotiation, then any Disputing Party is permitted to then submit such Dispute to JAMS for resolution pursuant to binding arbitration (Binding Arbitration) in accordance with the then existing rules of JAMS, as supplemented by the further requirements of this Section 7.6. Such arbitration is to be conducted by three arbitrators (each, an Arbitrator), one designated by each Disputing Party and the third designated by the first two appointed Arbitrators, in each case who agree to comply with the terms and procedures of this Section 7.6. If, within 10 days after such Dispute is submitted to Binding Arbitration, a Disputing Party has not designated an Arbitrator, then the other Disputing Party is permitted to so designate such Arbitrator.
(b) Within 20 days after submitting a Dispute to Binding Arbitration, each Disputing Party shall provide the other Disputing Party and the Arbitrators with a statement explaining the specific facts such first Disputing Party contends support such first Disputing Partys claims or basis in such Dispute, including acts or omissions by the other Disputing Party that such first Disputing Party believes constitute a Breach of this Agreement, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement that such first Disputing Party believes have been Breached, the names and addresses of each Person that such first Disputing Party believes has knowledge supporting such Disputing Partys claim, and a concise statement of damages, including the means by which the claimed damages were calculated and the facts upon which the calculations were based. Each Disputing Party shall provide the other Disputing Party and the Arbitrators with such statement and a copy of all documents in such first Disputing Partys possession or control that such first Disputing Party contends support such first Disputing Partys claim. The requirements of this Section 7.6 are intended to supplement, and therefore are in addition to, the Rules and procedural requirements of JAMS. In particular, the exchanges of documents and information required by such paragraphs are to be in addition to any discovery that is permitted under the rules of JAMS or that the Arbitrators might otherwise authorize in the arbitration.
(c) The Arbitrators are to be required to render a reasoned written opinion in support of their final decision, setting forth findings of fact, legal analysis and, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the award. The decision rendered by the Arbitrators will
38
be final and binding upon the Parties. Judgment upon the decision and any award made by the Arbitrators is permitted to be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The non-prevailing Disputing Party in any Binding Arbitration (as determined by the Arbitrators) shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and costs) of the prevailing Disputing Party. The Disputing Parties will otherwise be responsible for their own expenses in connection with such Binding Arbitration.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall keep the arbitration proceeding confidential and the arbitration panel must issue appropriate protective orders to safeguard such confidentiality. The Parties agree to keep confidential any documents exchanged between them pursuant to the arbitration and the content of any testimony or written documents submitted pursuant to the arbitration. Each Party shall not make (or instruct the arbitration panel to make) any public announcement with respect to the proceedings or decision of the arbitration panel without prior written consent of each other Party. The Parties and the arbitration panel shall keep the existence of any Dispute submitted to arbitration, and the award in confidence, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable Law.
(e) Any arbitration proceedings described in this Section 7.6 are to be conducted in the English language and are to take place in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.
(f) The Parties acknowledge that the procedures set forth in this Section 7.6 are the exclusive means by which any Dispute can be resolved. Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing sentence, neither the existence of a Dispute, the pending settlement of a Dispute, nor the resolution procedures set forth in this Section 7.6 will operate to limit or relieve any Party from such Partys ongoing duties and obligations hereunder or limit or extinguish any right that any Party might otherwise have hereunder (including Section 7.14), in law or in equity. Neither the existence of a Dispute nor the pendency of resolution of a Dispute will operate to terminate this Agreement.
7.7 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and is to be interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely within the State of New York (pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law), without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The Parties acknowledge that (a) this Agreement was negotiated by or on behalf of the Parties, in whole or in part, in the State of New York, (b) the Parties are delivering this Agreement in the State of New York, and (c) the State of New York has a substantial relationship to Parties and to this Agreement.
7.8 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Subject to Section 7.6, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, any state or federal court located within the City of New York in the State of New York (any such court, a Permitted Court) for the purposes of any Suit arising out of this Agreement or any of the
39
transactions contemplated hereby, and in each case the appropriate appellate courts therefrom, and each Party shall not commence any such Suit in a court other than any Permitted Court. Service of any process, summons, notice, or document by personal delivery or by U.S. registered mail to a Partys address set forth in Section 7.1 (or such other address if changed in accordance with Section 7.1) will be effective service of process for any such Suit. Each Party (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Suit arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any Permitted Court, and (b) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection that such Party might now or in the future have, and shall not plead or claim, that any such Suit brought in any Permitted Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A judgment in any Suit is permitted to be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. A Partys submission to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 7.8 does not constitute a general submission by such Party to service of process in the City of New York or the State of New York for any purpose other than as provided in this Section 7.8 and does not confer, and will not be deemed to confer, rights on any Person other than the Parties.
7.9 Counterparts. Each Party is permitted to execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Each Party is permitted to deliver this Agreement to the other Parties by means of delivery of one or more counterpart signature pages via facsimile or as an attachment in portable document format (.pdf) or other email attachment format to an email addressed to the recipient Party. Any photographic copy, photocopy, or similar reproduction of this Agreement, any electronic file of this Agreement in portable document format (.pdf), or other email attachment format, or any copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, in each case with all signatures reproduced on one or more sets of signature pages, will be considered as if it were manually executed.
7.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision hereof is intended to confer, no provision hereof will confer, and no provision hereof will be deemed to confer benefits, rights, or remedies upon any Person other than upon the Parties, their respective successors, and their respective permitted assigns.
7.11 Entire Agreement. The SPA, this Agreement, and the other Ancillary Documents (as defined in the SPA) (a) are a final, complete, and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, (b) collectively constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and (c) supersede, merge, and integrate herein any prior and contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, representations, understandings, and agreements between any of the Parties (including the Option Agreement, the NAJV JV Agreement, and the Pre-existing Confidentiality Agreements), whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
7.12 Captions. Titles, captions, and headings included herein are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the meaning, construction, or interpretation hereof or of any provision hereof.
40
7.13 Severability. If any portion or provision hereof is to any extent determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder hereof, and the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, as applicable, will not be affected thereby. Without limiting the generality of the immediately foregoing sentence, if any portion or provision hereof is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of excessive scope as to geographic, temporal, or functional coverage, then such provision will be deemed to extend only over the maximum geographic, temporal, and functional scope as to which such court determines it is permitted to be enforceable.
7.14 Interpretation; Construction.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein: (i) in instances in which a word or phrase is defined herein, each of the other grammatical forms of such word or phrase, respectively, has a correlative meaning; (ii) the terms hereof, herein, hereunder, hereby, hereto, herewith, and words of import similar to any of the foregoing are to be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) a reference herein to an Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit, Schedule, preamble, or recital is a reference to an article, section, paragraph, exhibit, schedule, preamble, or recital, respectively, of or to this Agreement; (iv) the words include, includes, and including as used herein are deemed to be followed by the words without limitation and the canon of construction ejusdem generis is not to be applied with respect to the construction thereof; (v) the term Dollars and the symbol $ mean United States dollars; and (vi) all accounting terms used herein and not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP.
(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein: (i) any reference to a Contract (including this Agreement) and all other contractual instruments is a reference to such Contract or instrument (including all exhibits, schedules, annexes, indices, appendices, and other attachments thereto) as the same might be amended or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof; and (ii) any reference to a Law is a reference to all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing, or interpreting such Law.
(c) If a Person has an obligation hereunder to not permit or to not cause an Entity from taking a specified action, then: (i) to the extent that such Person is capable of exercising control of such Entity with respect to such specified action or with respect to the actions of such Entity generally, such Person is deemed to have a concurrent obligation to cause such Entity to cease taking such specified action (if applicable) and to refrain from taking such specified action; and (ii) to the extent that such Person is not capable of exercising control of such Entity with respect to such specified action, such Person is deemed to have an obligation not to vote or consent to an action that is inconsistent with such obligation (as if such Person were capable of exercising control of such Entity with respect to such specified action). If a Person has an obligation hereunder to cause an Entity to take a specified action, then, to the extent that such Person is not capable of exercising control of such Entity with respect to such specified action, such
41
Person is deemed to have an obligation not to vote or consent to an action that is inconsistent with such obligation (as if such Person were capable of exercising control of such Entity with respect to such specified action).
(d) The term control, as used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting Securities, by Contract, or otherwise.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if a Party is expressly or impliedly entitled to exercise discretion hereunder or any rights hereunder, then such Party is permitted to exercise such discretion and rights in such Partys sole discretion, without considering the interests of any other Person.
(f) The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting hereof, and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any Party by virtue of the authorship hereof is not to affect the construction and interpretation hereof.
(g) Each Party acknowledges that the recitals are included for informational purposes and do not constitute part of the agreement between the Parties (other than with respect to setting forth certain definitions). Without limiting the generality of the immediately foregoing sentence, the inclusion of the recitals do not constitute representations or acknowledgments by any Party that any of the circumstances described in the recitals exists, existed, or will exist or that any of the events in the has occurred or will occur. The foregoing sentences set forth in this Section 7.14(g) will not limit or modify any representation or acknowledgement that any Party is making hereunder.
7.15 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each other Party hereunder and with respect hereto are special, unique, and of extraordinary character and that, if a Party breaches or threatens to breach any of such Partys obligations hereunder, then each other Party (a) might experience irreparable harm as a result thereof and might be without an adequate remedy at law with respect thereto and (b) is permitted (except to the extent the satisfaction of such obligation has been waived by such non-breaching Party in accordance with the terms hereof), in addition to any remedies for damages or other relief, to institute and prosecute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction (subject to Sections 7.6 and 7.8) for equitable relief (including specific performance, a temporary restraining order, and an injunction), without the requirement to post a bond.
7.16 Business Days. If any date by which an action is to be taken, or by which a notice is to be provided, hereunder falls on a date that is not a Business Day, then such date will be deemed to refer to the first Business Day after such date.

42

7.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by Law, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right that such Party might have to a trial by jury in any Suit arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party acknowledges that: (a) such Party has considered the implications of the waiver in this Section 7.19; (b) such Party will continue to rely upon the waiver in this Section 7.19 in such Partys future dealings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the Transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) this provision is a material inducement for such Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby.
