2. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Ratification. Except as expressly modified or amended by this Amendment, all of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

 

(b) Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Stockholders Agreement, the other Organizational Documents, the Plan of Reorganization and any other documents expressly referred to herein, in the Stockholders Agreement or in the Plan of Reorganization embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Amendment will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(d) Governing Law. This Amendment and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such state.

This Amendment and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Amendment or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of an electronic transmission, including by a facsimile machine or via email, 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. No party to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

(f) Further Action. The Parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Amendment.
