All acts required to be taken by SWC Shareholder to enter into this Agreement, to deliver each transaction document to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions hereunder have been properly taken. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the SWC Shareholder, enforceable against the SWC Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement is limited by general equitable principles, or by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
