4.7 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of

free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate

to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by
this Section 4.10 herein and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of
charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the
validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

(including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock
