15.    Miscellaneous.
15.1    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage and harm would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and that, although monetary damages may be available for such a breach, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefore.

A Party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. In the event that any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, each Party agrees that it shall not allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy available at law.
15.2    Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not, without the prior written consent of the other Parties (for the avoidance of doubt including Parent), be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void ab initio. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable rights, remedies or benefits of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Released Persons and their respective heirs and assigns are intended to be third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely on and enforce Section 5.
15.3    Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, and no extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by all Parties. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of any Party granting any waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The waiver by any Party of a breach of, or a default under, any of the provisions hereof, or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.
15.4    Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given and received (a) when delivered in person (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) on the date received by electronic mail (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if received after normal business hours of the recipient, or (c) when received by the addressee if sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or nationally recognized express courier (with written confirmation of delivery).
