6.2 Counterparts This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
6.3 Entire Agreement; Assignment This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Nondisclosure Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein: (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; (ii) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder; and (iii) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that ENIP may, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to CCA assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to a wholly-owned subsidiary as long as ENIP remains primarily liable for all of ENIP’s obligations hereunder and such assignment and/or delegation does not adversely affect the characterization of the Share Exchange as a statutory merger of CCA with and into ENIP for federal income tax purposes.
6.4 Severability In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
6.5 Other Remedies Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or 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.
6.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein are not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, nor create any right, claim or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any rights of employment for any specified period and/or any employee benefits in favor of any Person, union, association, Continuing Employee, Key Employee, Employer, other employee or former employee, contractor or other entity, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
