hereafter acqnire, except and only except all rights and agreements and obligations of whatsoever
nature arising or which may arise under this Agreement or for the breach of any provision

receive any legacy, bequest or residuary portion of the other's estate under his or her will, or to
act as personal representative or executor if so named by the will of the other, whether such will
was executed prior or subsequent to this agreement. Each of the parties hereto further covenants
and agrees for himself and herself and his or her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, for
the purpose of enforcing any of the rights relinquished under this Agreement.
