Cinapsys under this Agreement; (b) if Cinapsys determines, in its
sole discretion, that Company has failed to provide complete and

shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall
not act as a release of either party from any liability for breach
of such party's obligations under this Agreement. Neither party will
be liable to the other for damages of any kind which arise solely as
a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms,
and termination of this Agreement by a party will be without

agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and
