13 ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS Section 5.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any documents and agreements executed in connection with the Transactions embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, contracts, correspondence, conversations, memoranda and understandings between or among the parties or any of their agents, representatives or affiliates relative to such subject matter, including, without limitation, any term sheets, emails or draft documents.

Section 5.3 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make disclosures to an auditor or governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to any routine investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry without providing the Holder with any notification thereof, unless the Holder is the subject of any such
14 investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry (in which case the preceding sentence shall govern). Section 5.6 Fees and Expenses.

No Holder shall convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Company, except to an affiliate of such Holder who assumes its obligations hereunder pursuant to a joinder or similar agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the Company shall not convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of each Holder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and, except as set forth in Section 5.9, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. Section 5.9 Reliance by the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent, acting as financial advisor to the Company, may rely on each representation and warranty of the Company and of each Holder, made on behalf of itself, herein or pursuant to the terms hereof with the same force and effect as if such representation or warranty were made directly to the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent will be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent provided in this Section 5.9. Section 5.10 Waiver; Remedies. No delay on the part of any Holder or the Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Holder or the Company of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege of such party under this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement. All waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced. Section 5.11 Amendment.
