(b) Severability. In the event that any term, provision, covenant or
------------
restriction set forth in this Agreement, or the application of any such term,
provision, covenant or restriction to any person, entity or set of
circumstances, shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of the
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and
the application of such terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions to
persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined
to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and
effect, shall not be impaired, invalidated or otherwise affected and shall
continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.
(c) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the terms and
--------------------------
provisions hereof shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any
of the rights, interests or obligations of the Stockholder may be assigned to
any other Person without the prior written consent of Parent.
(d) Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or
----------
supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement
executed by each of the parties hereto.
(e) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Each of the parties hereto
---------------------------------------
hereby acknowledge that (i) the representations, warranties, covenants and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement are necessary, fundamental and required
for the protection of Parent and to preserve for Parent the benefits of the
Merger; (ii) such covenants relate to matters which are of a special, unique,
and extraordinary character that gives each such representation, warranty,
covenant and restriction
4
a special, unique, and extraordinary value; and (iii) a breach of any such
representation, warranty, covenant or restriction, or any other term or
provision of this Agreement, will result in irreparable harm and damages to
Parent which cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly,
Parent and the Stockholder hereby expressly agree that in addition to all other
remedies available at law or in equity, Parent shall be entitled to the
immediate remedy of specific performance, a temporary and/or permanent
restraining order, preliminary injunction, or such other form of injunctive or
equitable relief as may be used by any court of competent jurisdiction to
restrain or enjoin any of the parties hereto from breaching any representations,
warranties, covenants or restrictions set forth in this Agreement, or to
specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed,
-------------
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision, rule
or principle (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State
of Delaware.
(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Proxy and the other
----------------
agreements referred to in this Agreement set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of Parent and the Stockholder with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior discussions, agreements and
understandings between Parent and the Stockholder, both oral and written, with
