Notwithstanding this, such Seller has deemed it appropriate to sell the Shares to the Purchasers. Each Seller agrees that the Purchasers shall have no liability to such Seller whatsoever due to or in connection with the Purchasers’ use or non-disclosure of such information or otherwise as a result of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers, and such Seller hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it might have based on the failure of the Purchasers to disclose any such information.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).  Any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if any such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court located in Delaware).  Each Party: (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in Delaware (and each appellate court related thereto) in connection with any such legal proceeding; (ii) agrees that each state and federal court located in Delaware shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in Delaware, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.  EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
