or any of its material Subsidiaries, (D) against any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would be reasonably expected to impair or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions and (E) any other proposal, action or transaction that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger or the Merger Agreement. Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 1.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Stockholder to vote in favor of, against or abstain with respect to any matters presented to the Company’s stockholders.

time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein, (c) waive compliance by the other party with any agreement contained herein or (d) waive any condition to which its obligations are subject. Any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. In the event that Parent agrees to any amendment, extension or waiver of the terms of this Agreement for the benefit of any other director or officer of the Company that has entered into a corresponding agreement with Parent, such amendment, extension or waiver shall automatically be deemed to apply to the Stockholder, mutatis mutandis.
