Section 4.2 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended by a writing executed by each of the Parties. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure of any Party to exercise any right or remedy given to such Party under this Agreement or otherwise available to such Party or to insist upon strict compliance by any other Party with its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice in variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of any Party’s right to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof. Any written waiver shall be limited to those items specifically waived therein and shall not be deemed to waive any future breaches or violations or other non-specified breaches or violations unless, and to the extent, expressly set forth therein.

Section 4.3 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the express written consent of the other Parties.

Section 4.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or if such term or provision could be drawn more narrowly so as not to be illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall be so narrowly drawn, as to such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 4.5 Counterparts; Binding Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, but each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on both of the Parties.

Section 4.6 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable hereof. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event 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 4.7 Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF

 


 

THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES (INCLUDING EACH MEMBER) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

Section 4.8 Consent to Jurisdiction; Forum Selection; Service of Process. Any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action, suit or proceeding, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or to the extent neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, and in each case, the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts, and each of the Parties hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, for the purpose of any such action, suit or proceeding. The aforementioned choice of venue is intended by the Parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between the Parties with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any jurisdiction other than those specified in this Section 4.8. A final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in accordance with this Section 4.8, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 4.8 has been brought in an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any party hereto. Each party hereto further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 4.9 Third Parties. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any MII Indemnitee or Madison Air Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, and the releases of the members of the MII Group and the Madison Air Group under this Agreement, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any Person, except the Parties, any rights or remedies hereunder, and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any Third Party with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 4.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

 


 

Section 4.11 Delivery by Electronic Means. This Agreement and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf) or comparable electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

Section 4.12 Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither MII or any other member of the MII Group, on the one hand, nor Madison Air or any other member of the Madison Air Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages (other than any such Liability to the extent actually owed with respect to a Third-Party Claim).
