<br /> 9. Binding. This Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties
<br /> and, including without limitation, their respective heirs, administrators, representatives,

<br /> executors, successors, and assigns.
<br /> 10. Selective Enforcement. The failure of a Party to enforce or exercise any
