(f) SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is
enforceable.
(g) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, each
non-breaching party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be
made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto
(a) will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy
of a remedy at law and (b) shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to
which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to compel specific performance
of this Agreement.
(h) REMEDIES. All rights, powers and remedies provided
under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in
equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any thereof
by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other
such right, power or remedy by such party. The failure of any party hereto to
exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise
available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by
any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or
practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute
a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power
or remedy or to demand such compliance.
(i) DIRECTORS' FIDUCIARY DUTIES. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, nothing set forth herein shall in any way
restrict any director, officer or employee in the exercise of his fiduciary or
other duties as a director, officer or employee of the Company.

to this Agreement or any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby shall be
brought in the courts of the State of New Jersey and hereby expressly submits to

expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are
an inconvenient forum.
