Section 2.5            Action in Stockholder Capacity Only.  The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into by each Stockholder in his or its capacity as an owner of Subject Shares and that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit any Stockholder from taking or authorizing any action or inaction in his or its capacity as a director, officer or other fiduciary of the Company.  Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or limitation on votes or actions taken by any director, officer, general partner, member, employee, agent or other representative (collectively, “Representatives”) of Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
