Section 14.8. Severability

. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceablity, invalidity or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. If any provision hereof is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal as stated above, the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace such provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.

Section 14.9. Counterparts

. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 14.10. Waiver of Jury Trial

. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 14.11. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable law.

Section 14.12. Consent to Jurisdiction

. Each Member (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Delaware State court or Federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware and of any New York State court or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in any action arising out of this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in such action may be decided in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum and (iv) consents, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, to the service of process by mail. A final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or affect its right to bring any action in any other court.

Section 14.13. Certain Tax Matters

. It is the intent of the parties hereto that, for so long as there is a single owner of the Member Interests, the Company shall be treated as a disregarded entity of such single owner within the meaning of Regulations Section 301.7701-3, and, if there is more than one owner of the Member Interests, the Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. The parties hereto and each Member shall take no action (including filing any tax return, election or information return) inconsistent with the foregoing.

Section 14.14. Standards of Discretion

. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement a Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting any other Person or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, such Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
