(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
(b) Certain Events. Each Company Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to his, her or its Stockholder Company Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Stockholder Company Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, such Stockholder's heirs, guardians, administrators or successors.

(f) Assignments; Rights of Assignees; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any Company Stockholder without the prior written consent of Parent and Sub. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors or permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.
 
(g) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered by the non-breaching party or parties in the event that this Agreement is breached. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that the non-breaching party or parties may obtain specific performance of this Agreement and injunctive and other equitable relief against any breach hereof, without the necessity of establishing irreparable harm or posting any bond, in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity.
 
(h) Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the party granting the waiver, and a waiver by any party hereto of any one or more defaults shall not operate as a waiver of any future default or defaults, whether of a like or of a different character. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not similar), nor shall such a waiver constitute a continuing waiver, unless otherwise expressly provided.
 
(i) Section Headings. Headings contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, or extend the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provisions thereof.
 
(j) Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the principles of conflicts of law) applicable to a contract executed and to be performed in such State. Each party hereto (i) agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction and to waive any objection as to venue in the state or federal courts located in New York (Manhattan), New York, (ii) agrees that any action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in such courts, unless subject matter jurisdiction or personal jurisdiction cannot be obtained, and (iii) agrees that service of process on any party in any such action shall be effective if made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address specified herein, or to any panics hereto at such other addresses as he, she or it may from time to time specify to the other parties in writing for such purpose. The exclusive choice of forum set forth in this paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce such judgment in any appropriate jurisdiction.
 
(k) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission or mailed (first class mail postage prepaid), or by overnight express courier (charges prepaid or billed to the account of the sender) to the parties at the following addresses or facsimile numbers:
