requirement of posting of any bond. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees, in an action for
specific performance, to waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
