enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Party waives any
provision of Applicable Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or
unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable for any reason, it will be adjusted rather than voided, if
possible, in order to achieve the intent of the Parties to the extent possible.
Section 5.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an
original but all of which will constitute one and the same Agreement.

each Party would suffer irreparable damage in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific
terms or was otherwise breached and that such damage may not be compensable in
money damages. It is accordingly agreed that, in the event of a breach,
violation or threatened breach or violation of the terms this Agreement by any
of the Parties, each of the other Parties will be entitled to specific
enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any breach, violation or
further breach or violation of, the terms hereof, in addition to any other
remedy or relief available at law or in equity. In the event an action seeking
injunctive relief hereunder, no Party will be required to post bond.
