5.4 Cooperation. Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company in taking action reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.5 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Permitted Transferee shall derive any rights under this Agreement unless and until such Permitted Transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a valid undertaking and becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that the Sponsor is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.
