Section 8.9 Schedules. The Schedules and the Exhibits referenced in this Agreement are a material part hereof and shall be treated as if fully incorporated into the body of the Agreement.

Section 8.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties (and their successors and assigns) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.11 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers; Consent to Service of Process. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party irrevocably agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another Party or its successors or assigns shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts of the State of Ohio and each of the Parties hereby (x) irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (y) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (z) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Any service of process to be made in such action or Proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 8.8. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) the defense of sovereign immunity, (b) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 8.11, (c) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (d) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations that (i) the action or Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action or Proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 8.12 Other Remedies. Any and all remedies expressly conferred under this Agreement upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Section 8.13 No Strict Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE REGULATIONS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION

Section 8.15 Waiver of Conflict. Purchaser and Company agree that Purchaser shall not, and shall cause Company not to, seek to have Holland & Hart LLP (“H&H”) disqualified from representing the Selling Holders or any of his or its Affiliates in connection with any dispute that may arise between the Selling Holders or any of his or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of any such dispute, the Selling Holders and/or any of his or its Affiliates shall have the right to decide whether or not to waive the attorney-client privilege (the “Retained Privilege”) that may apply to any communications between the Company and H&H that occurred before the Closing; provided, that nothing in this Section 8.15 shall be construed as a waiver of any attorney-client privilege. Nothing in this Section 8.15 shall be construed as a waiver of any privilege controlled by Purchaser after the Closing (which for the avoidance of doubt excludes the Retained Privilege), nor shall anything herein be construed to permit H&H to communicate with the Selling Holders or any of his or its Affiliates after the Closing any information subject to a privilege controlled by Purchaser or the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt excludes the Retained Privilege). Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Section 8.15 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 8.15 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Selling Holders and H&H.
