----------------------
in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it
being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the

provision in this Agreement.

Company under this Agreement and the Company will be entitled to specific
performance of the obligations of the Purchasers hereunder with respect to the
subsequent transfer of Shares. Each of the Company and the Purchasers agrees

and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
