(c)    Assignability; Transfer; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (consent to be provided in such Party's sole discretion). There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and no Person other than the Parties shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, except that the Honeywell Releasees and Resideo Releasees (including any such Honeywell Releasees or Resideo Releasees that cease or ceased to be Subsidiaries thereof, whether prior to or following the date hereof) shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement (including the releases set forth herein) and shall have the right to benefit from and enforce this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto.

No Party shall oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that money damages are an adequate remedy. The Parties agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived.
(f)    Survival. The Parties, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, hereby agree that the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement will survive for a period of three (3) years following the date hereof. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement that by their terms are required to be performed in whole or in part after the execution and delivery of this Agreement will survive such execution and delivery and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until they have been performed or satisfied.
