THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) entered into as of the grant date set forth on the attached Notice of PSU Award (the “Notice”), by and between Chesapeake Energy Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), and the participant named on the Notice (the “Participant”);
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Participant is an Employee, and it is important to the Company that the Participant be encouraged to remain an Employee or Consultant; and 
WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Chesapeake Energy Corporation Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan effective as of October 1, 2004, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”); and
WHEREAS, the Company has awarded the Participant Performance Share Units under the Plan, as set forth on the Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:
1.The Plan. The Plan, a copy of which has been made available to the Participant, is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof for all purposes, and when taken with this Agreement shall govern the rights of the Participant and the Company with respect to the Award (as defined below). Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.  The Participant acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of, or has online access to, the Plan, and hereby accepts the Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Such acceptance may be in any manner that the Committee may establish pursuant to the Notice, including deemed acceptance. The Participant hereby further agrees that he or she has received a copy of, or has online access to, the most recent Form S-8 prospectus relating to the Plan and hereby acknowledges his or her acceptance and receipt of such prospectus electronically.
2.Grant of Award. The Company hereby awards to the Participant the number of PSUs in accordance with the Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Notice (the “Award”).  The Award gives the Participant the opportunity to earn the right to receive payment of cash for each PSU awarded in accordance with this Agreement and the Notice.  The Award is subject to adjustment under the terms of the Plan. This Agreement and the Notice establish vesting requirements and determination of payment based on attainment by the Company of specified performance levels for the Performance Measures described in the Notice during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date set forth in the Notice (the “Performance Period”), as established and
10 13 8 Form of 2014 PSU Award Agreement (CHK).doc

determined by the Committee.  The Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the PSUs.
3.Vesting and Forfeiture.
(a)The PSUs will vest based on the Participant’s continuous employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth on the Notice.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under this Agreement unless and until the Committee certifies the level of performance respecting the Performance Measures that has been achieved and the Participant satisfies applicable vesting conditions for such payment.
(b)Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the Plan, any unvested Performance Share Units shall be forfeited when a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person.
4.Fundamental Transaction; Change of Control.  In accordance with the terms of the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction or a Change of Control, all PSUs shall be deemed to have achieved a level of performance respecting the Performance Measures equal to the higher of (i) such performance level as required to achieve the Target PSU Allocation (as described in the Notice) or (ii) the actual performance level. The Committee may, in its discretion, adjust the level of performance respecting the Performance Measures described above to account for the change in any specified Performance Measure caused by measuring such values over the period commencing on the grant date and ending on the date of the Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control instead of over the Performance Period. All PSUs awarded pursuant to this paragraph 4 shall be deemed to fully vest at such time.
5.Nontransferability of Award. A PSU is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of, or the levy of execution, attachment or similar process upon, a PSU contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void and ineffective, shall give no right to any purported transferee, and may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, result in forfeiture of the PSU involved in such attempt.
6.Payment. The payment date(s) with respect to all PSUs in which a Participant becomes vested shall be the earlier of (i) the payment date(s) set forth on the Notice or, (ii) in the event of a Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control, no later than 60 days following such Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control.
7.Withholding. The Company may make such provision as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any applicable federal, state or local taxes that it determines it may be obligated to withhold or pay in connection with the PSUs.
8.Amendments. This Award Agreement may be amended by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Participant; provided that the Committee may modify the terms of this Award Agreement without the consent of the Participant in any manner that is not adverse to the Participant.
-2-

9.Securities Law Restrictions. This Award shall be issued, vested and paid only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and any other applicable securities law, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
10.Participant Misconduct.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority to determine that in the event of serious misconduct by the Participant (including violations of employment agreements, confidentiality or other proprietary matters) or any activity of a Participant in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity, the PSUs may be cancelled, in whole or in part, whether or not vested. The determination of whether a Participant has engaged in serious misconduct or any activity in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion. This paragraph 10 shall have no effect and be deleted from this Agreement following a Change of Control.
(b)    The Award made pursuant to this Agreement is subject to recovery pursuant to the Company’s compensation recovery policy then in effect. To the extent required by applicable laws, rules, regulations or securities exchange listing requirements and the Company’s compensation recovery policy then in effect, the Company shall have the right, and shall take all actions necessary, to recover the incentive compensation received by the Participant pursuant to the Award.
11.Notices. All notices or other communications relating to the Plan and this Agreement as it relates to the Participant shall be in electronic or written form. If in writing, such notices shall be deemed to have been made if personally delivered, or if mailed, by regular U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by the Company to the Participant at his last known address evidenced on the payroll records of the Company.
12.Binding Effect and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be (i) binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns except as may be limited by the Plan and (ii) governed and construed under the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
13.Captions. The captions of specific provisions of this Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.
14.Counterparts; Entire Agreement.  This Agreement may be accepted by the required form of acceptance established by the Committee pursuant to the Notice, which may include deemed acceptance. If execution of the Notice is the required form of acceptance established by the Committee, then such execution may be in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall form but one agreement. This Agreement, together with the Notice, shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties.
15.Code Section 409A. The Agreement and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Code Section 409A.  This 
-3-

Agreement and the Award shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A or an exemption therefrom.  Should any provision of this Agreement or any Award hereunder be found not to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, the provisions of the Code Section 409A, such provision shall be modified and given effect (retroactively if necessary), in the sole discretion of the Committee, and without the consent of the Participant, in such manner as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Code Section 409A.  Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant’s termination date (or death, if earlier), with interest from the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Code, for the month in which payment would have been made but for the delay in payment required to avoid the imposition of an additional rate of tax on the Participant under Section 409A.  In the event the Award under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, any payment triggered by a Change of Control or Fundamental Transaction will be made only if, in connection with the Change of Control or Fundamental Transaction, there occurs a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in the effective control of the Company, or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as all such terms are defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).  In the event payment is not allowed by operation of this section, payment will be made within sixty (60) days of the earlier to occur of (A) the applicable payment date set forth in the Notice or (B) the occurrence of a permissible time or event that could trigger a payment without violating Code Section 409A.  Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

Effective ___________, 2014 (the “Grant Date”), you have been granted an Award of a number (the Target PSU Allocation, specified below) of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) by Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the “Company”). This Award entitles you to the right to receive a cash payment for each PSU awarded in an amount equal to the Final PSU Value (as defined below) on the Payment Date specified below. The number of PSUs awarded is subject to adjustment pursuant to the level of performance respecting the Performance Measures over the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee and as set forth below. This Award is further subject to the vesting requirements set forth below.
Grant Date Value of Target Award:    $[•]
Target PSU Allocation:    [•]
Last Day of the Performance Period:    12/31/2016
Payment Date: Any payment earned pursuant to this Award shall be made as soon as practicable after the Committee certifies the Company’s performance respecting the performance goals on or following January 1, 2017, but in no case later than March 15, 2017.
Final PSU Value: The value of each PSU is equal to the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 20 trading days including and immediately preceding the last day of the Performance Period.
Performance Measures: The final number of PSUs you may receive will be adjusted based on the attainment by the Company of specified levels of performance over the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee following the last day of the Performance Period. The Committee has established that the PSUs awarded will be adjusted based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”1).  Relative TSR measures the performance of the Company’s share price and dividends compared to its peer group2 during the Performance Period.  The Payout Percentages will be based upon the Company’s Relative TSR Performance ranking among its peer group more fully described in Schedule 1.
In no event will the Committee adjust the final number of PSUs to be greater than 200% of the Target PSU Allocation. At the end of the Performance Period the Committee will multiply the Target PSU Allocation by the Payout Percentage to determine the final number of PSUs resulting from a PSU Award. The cash payment made
_________________________________
1 The TSR for the Performance Period shall be calculated based on the difference between the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days including and immediately preceding the Grant Date and the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days including and immediately preceding the Last Day of the Performance Period (each as reported on the New York Stock Exchange), adjusting for dividend distributions and such other adjustments deemed necessary and appropriate by the Committee.
2 The performance peer group consists of the following companies: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corporation, Continental Resources, Inc., Devon Energy Corporation, EOG Resources, Inc., Hess Corp., Marathon Oil Corporation, Murphy Oil Corporation, Noble Energy, Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corporation and EnCana Corporation.

to you on the Payment Date will be an amount equal to the final number of PSUs you receive multiplied by the Final PSU Value.  However, the Payout Percentage is subject to a “Circuit Breaker” which is a cap of 100% of the Target PSU Allocation in the event the Company’s absolute TSR Performance over the Performance Period is negative.  For illustrations, please refer to Schedule 2.
Vesting. Your Award will vest pursuant to the Incremental Vesting Schedule described below, provided, however, that your Award will vest pursuant to the Alternate Vesting Schedule if so provided by your existing employment agreement with the Company.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
3.1    Representations and Warranties of the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to SGI, and if the Spinoff shall have occurred, A-Mark, as follows:
(c)    Each Selling Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Spain and has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell, transfer and deliver the Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder.
(d)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Selling Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Selling Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, including under the Approval Order which constitutes the Bankruptcy Court approval of the entry by the Selling Stockholders into an agreement of the type of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  
(e)    As of the date hereof: (i) the Approval Order has been validly issued and remains in full force and effect; (ii) no actions or steps have been taken by the Selling Stockholders or by any third party that may affect the validity and enforceability of the Approval Order or of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Selling Stockholders and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated in the terms and conditions provided for herein is duly authorized pursuant to the Approval Order. The performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not be adversely affected by any appeal of the Approval Order.
(f)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Selling Stockholder and the performance by it of the terms hereof and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or event that with the giving or notice or lapse of time would become a breach or default) under, (i) any of the organizational documents of such Selling Stockholder, (ii) any material agreement or instrument to which such Selling Stockholder is a 

- 8 -
 

party or by which such Selling Stockholder is bound, or (iii) any Law applicable to such Selling Stockholder, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), where any such breach or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay such Selling Stockholder’s ability to meet or perform its obligations under this Agreement.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or notice to or filing with, any court or Governmental Authority or any other Person, is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the sale of the Securities being sold by each Selling Stockholder and the sale of the Washington Collection by Afinsa, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, state securities Laws or blue sky Laws. 
(g)    Afinsa is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Afinsa SGI Shares to be sold hereunder, free and clear of all Liens. Auctentia is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Auctentia SGI Shares to be sold hereunder, free and clear of all Liens. Upon delivery of the Purchase Price as herein provided, at the First Closing or the Second Closing, as the case may be, SGI or A-Mark, as applicable will acquire good and valid title to all of the Securities, free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens created by SGI or A-Mark, as applicable); provided that in respect of the shares of A-Mark Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders at the Second Closing, the Selling Stockholders make no representation in this sentence other than that such shares were received as a distribution in the Spinoff and that such shares will be free and clear of any Lien imposed with the consent of the Selling Stockholders. The Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder represent all shares of SGI Common Stock owned by such Selling Stockholder and, if the Spinoff shall occur, all shares of A-Mark Common Stock that at the time of the Second Closing will be owned by such Selling Stockholder.  It is understood and agreed that Afinsa is selling the Washington Collection on an “as is where is” basis, and that the Selling Stockholders are making no representations as to the Washington Collection, including with respect to title, authenticity or provenance, except that the Washington Collection is free and clear of any and all Liens imposed with the consent of Afinsa. 
(h)    Upon SGI or A-Mark, as applicable, acquiring possession of the Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder and payment of the Purchase Price to SGI or A‐Mark, as applicable, SGI or A-Mark, as applicable (assuming it does not have notice of any “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC, to such Securities), will acquire all of such Selling Stockholder’s rights and interest in the respective Securities being acquired by SGI and A-Mark, as applicable, free of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC).  Such Selling Stockholder is selling the Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder for such Selling Stockholder’s own account and is not selling such Securities, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any other Person.  Other than this Agreement, no Selling Stockholder (nor any of its affiliates) is party to or bound by any contracts, agreements, understandings or arrangements with any Person (including, any stockholder or voting agreements) relating to any of the Securities and there are no agreements, rights or other facts or circumstances relating to the Securities that may give rise to any “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC with respect to any of the Securities.

(i)    No broker, finder, investment banker or any other intermediary is entitled to receive from such Selling Stockholder any brokerage or finder’s fee or any other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon agreements or arrangements made by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder.

(c)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by SGI and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of SGI, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the terms hereof and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or event that with the giving or notice or lapse of time would become a breach or default) under, (i) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of SGI, (ii) any material agreement or instrument to which SGI is a party or by which SGI is bound, or (iii) any Law applicable to SGI, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii)  where any such breach or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay SGI’s ability to meet or perform its obligations under this Agreement.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or notice to

(d)    The current senior management of SGI has disclosed to the trustees of Afinsa all material information known to them regarding the tax and criminal proceedings in Spain involving Afinsa, Central de Compras Coleccionables, S.A., and the former officers and directors of SGI that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect SGI’s business, results of operations, financial condition or price of its SGI Common Stock.
(e)    No broker, finder, investment banker or intermediary is entitled to receive from SGI any brokerage or finder’s fee or any other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon agreements or arrangements made by or on behalf of SGI.  
(f)    Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.3, neither SGI nor any other Person on behalf of SGI makes nor has made any other representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to SGI or any information provided to the Selling Stockholders, and any such representation or warranty is hereby expressly disclaimed.
3.3    Representations and Warranties of A-Mark.  A-Mark hereby represents and warrants to the Selling Stockholders as follows:
(a)    A-Mark is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Securities.
(b)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by A‐Mark and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of A-Mark, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the terms hereof and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or event that with the giving or notice or lapse of time would become a breach or default) under, (i) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of A-Mark, (ii) any material agreement or instrument to which A-Mark is a party or by which A-Mark is bound, or (iii) any Law applicable to A-Mark, except, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii)  where any such breach or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay A-Mark’s ability to meet or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

- 13 -
 

willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

Each party shall give notice to the other parties with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

- 15 -

(ii)    any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.3 shall not have been, or it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, satisfied by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to any breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement;
(g)    by SGI and, if the Spinoff shall have occurred, A-Mark, or the Selling Stockholders in the event that: (i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur at the Second Closing illegal or otherwise prohibited; (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued any order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur at the Second Closing, and such order, decree, injunction or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; or (iii) the Second Closing shall not have occurred prior to the Outside Date (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(iii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Second Closing to occur by such time). 
6.2    Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of the obligation of the parties to consummate the Second Closing in accordance with this Article VI, no party shall have any liability to any other party for failure to consummate the Second Closing; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

7.5    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. 
7.6    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all related exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and the related exhibits, the statements in the body of this Agreement shall control.
7.7    Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto.
7.8    Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
7.9    Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity or otherwise, subject, however, to Section 6.2.
7.10    Equitable Remedies. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by any party of any of their obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other parties to this Agreement (in each instance a, “Non-Breaching Party”) for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by a party of any such obligations, any Non-Breaching Party shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond), subject, however, to Section 6.2.  
7.11    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.  None of the parties may assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any purported

assignment in violation of this Section 7.11 shall be null and void.  Without limiting the foregoing, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.
7.12    No Third-party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
7.13    Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.
7.14    Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York and County of New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document in accordance with Section 7.4 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
7.15    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
7.16    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
