This Agreement, together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto, and no party hereto shall be bound by any communications between them on the subject matter hereof unless such communications are in writing and bear a date contemporaneous with or subsequent to the date hereof.
