entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. Stockholder further agrees that none of Parent, the Company or any
other person or entity shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this paragraph, and

joint. This Agreement is binding on each Stockholder that executes this Agreement regardless of whether any other Stockholder(s) also executed this Agreement.

amendment or waiver is in writing and signed (i) in the case of an amendment, by Parent, the Company and the Stockholder, and (ii) in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the
waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
