2. Miscellaneous.
(a) Authority. Each of the Company and each Buyer hereby represent that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement, when executed and delivered by such party, will constitute valid and legally binding obligation of such party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and each Buyer and the performance of the obligations of such party herein does not and will not conflict with or constitute a default under any provision of any agreement or instrument to which such party is bound, any law or regulation to which such party is subject, the organizational documents of such party, or any lien, order, judgment, decree or regulation or any other restriction of any kind by which such party is bound.
(b) Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties, provided that the Buyers’ rights hereunder are not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, other than to Affiliates (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Buyer to whom Shares are transferred. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware.
(d) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

(f) Amendment. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and each Buyer.
(g) No Waiver. The failure or delay by a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted the parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of a party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.
(h) Conflict. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement to which any Buyer is a party, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(i) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
