25. Acknowledgment. Seller hereby acknowledges that certain individuals affiliated with HM Capital Partners I LP and Kainos Capital, LLC serve on the board of directors of UniTek Global Services, Inc., and therefore may be in possession of material non-public information not available to Seller.
26. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or violated, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
27. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
