Section 14. General. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any existing agreement between Employee and Company relating generally to the same subject matter, and may be modified only in a writing signed by the parties hereto. Failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any term herein. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein. Employee agrees that Employee will not assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law, any rights or obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, transfer, or disposition shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the consolidation of Company with, or its merger into, any other corporation, or the sale
by Company of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, or the assignment by Company of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, and shall not benefit any person or entity other than those enumerated.
Section 15. Employee Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges (i) that Employee has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of Employee’s own choice concerning this Agreement and has been advised to do so by Company, and (ii) that Employee has read and understands the Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on Employee’s own judgment.
