17. No Modification. This Agreement may not be modified without the prior written consent of Seller and Receiving Party.
18. Governing Law.

19. No Waiver. It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by Seller on exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement.
20. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
21. Survival. This Agreement shall terminate one (1) year from the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, whether voluntary or involuntary, whether with or without cause, such termination or expiration shall not impair Seller’s or any Seller Party’s rights under this Agreement nor relieve Receiving Party of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such rights or obligations arise prior to such termination or expiration or expressly survive such termination or expiration.
22. Attorney’s Fees. Should Seller, a Seller Party or Receiving Party retain counsel to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to seek damages for any alleged breach of any provision hereof, or for a declaration of such party’s rights or obligations hereunder, then, the prevailing party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the losing party for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services
13
rendered to such party. For purposes of this paragraph, attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in the following: (1) post judgment motions and appeals; (2) contempt proceedings; (3) garnishment, levee, and debtor and third party examinations; (4) discovery; and (5) bankruptcy proceedings, including, without limitation, all motions, adversary proceedings and contested and uncontested matters in a case under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, where a party has appeared through counsel to protect its interests as a creditor under the Bankruptcy Code. This section is intended to be expressly severable from the other provisions of this Agreement, is intended to survive any judgment and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment.
23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and Receiving Party relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or simultaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, and agreements, whether written or oral. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Seller and JP Partners, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.
24. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, rights, undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative, and none of them shall be in limitation of any other remedy, right, undertaking, obligation or agreement of any party.
25. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
