such beneficial owner, to such beneficial owner, (ii) to an Affiliate of such record owner, or (iii) if such record owner is a partnership or the nominee of a partnership, to a partner, retired partner, or estate of a partner or retired partner, of such partnership, so long as such transfer is in accordance with the transfererr’s interest in such partnership and is without consideration; provided, however, that each such transferee shall remain subject to all restrictions on the transfer of Investor Common Stock herein contained.

8

required in the By-Laws or Articles of Incorporation of the Company, such notation shall be effected as promptly as practicable hereafter.

(d)           Counterparts and Gender References.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (including by means of separate signature pages, which may be attached hereto) by one or more of the parties, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts (and signature pages) shall be deemed to constitute or be part of one and the same instrument.  One or more counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, with the intention that delivery by such means shall have the same effect as delivery of an original counterpart thereof.  All gender references shall be deemed modified to fit the context.

9

party hereunder form also pursuing any other rights or remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including receiving damages and attorney’s fees.  The election of any remedy shall not be construed as a waiver on the part of any injured party hereunder of any rights such party might otherwise have at law or in equity, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
