2.4 Obligations; Removal of Directors; Vacancies. The obligations of the Voting Parties pursuant to this Section 2 shall include any stockholder vote to amend the Buyer’s Charter Documents as required to effect the intent of this Agreement. Each of the Voting Parties and the Buyer agree not to take any actions that would materially and adversely affect the provisions of this Agreement and the intention of the parties with respect to the composition of the Buyer’s Board of Directors as herein stated. The parties acknowledge that the fiduciary duties of each member of the Buyer’s Board of Directors are to the Buyer’s stockholders as a whole.

Such actions include, without limitation, the use of best efforts to cause the nomination of the designees, as provided herein, for election as directors of the Buyer. Neither the Buyer nor any Voting Party will, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Buyer or any such Voting Party, as applicable, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of each Voting Party hereunder against impairment.

6. Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Agreement by any party hereto, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
