or encumbrances of whatever nature ("Liens") affecting its Shares, except for

the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such

principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by each Parent does not, and the performance by each Parent of its obligations
hereunder will not, constitute a violation of, conflict with, or result in a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result
in a default) under, its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any
contract, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of
any kind to which each Parent is a party or by which each Parent is bound or
