 16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Trademark Assignment and the Contribution Agreement, including
the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and the understandings between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No discussions regarding, or exchange of drafts or comments in connection with, the transactions contemplated herein will constitute an agreement among the parties hereto. Any agreement among the

manner materially adverse to any party. Upon determination that any term or other provision hereof is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible. 

20. Assignment. This Agreement and each party’s respective rights hereunder may 








 
not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise at any time except as expressly set forth herein without the prior written consent of the other party. Any assignment or purported assignment in
violation of this Section 20 will be void and of no legal force or effect. 
 21. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereto stipulates that any dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties hereto as to the interpretation of any provision of, or the performance
of obligations under, this Agreement shall be commenced and prosecuted in its entirety in, and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and proper venue of, the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable,
any federal court located within the State of Delaware), and each party hereto consents to personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waives and relinquishes all right to attack the suitability or convenience of such venue
or forum by reason of its present or future domiciles, or by any other reason, for any such dispute or disagreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that all directions issued by the forum court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be
binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. 
 22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE MAKING, PERFORMANCE OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, INCLUDING FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF. 

23. Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged (and would not have
adequate remedies at law) in the event that the covenants set forth in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto will be entitled to an
injunction to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement, without obligation to post any bond, solely in the courts specified in Section 21 (Governing Law and Venue), in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be
entitled hereunder, at law or in equity.
