9.3 Amendment. To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement may be amended by a subsequent writing signed by each of the parties.

9.4 Waiver. No party shall be deemed to have waived any right which it holds hereunder unless the waiver is made expressly and in writing (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no delay or omission by any party in exercising any such right shall be deemed a waiver of its future exercise). No waiver shall be deemed a waiver as to any other instance or any other right.

9.5 Applicable law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations imposed hereby shall be governed by the internal law, but not the law pertaining to conflicts or choice of law, of the State of Colorado. Each of the parties to this agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for Colorado or any state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Denver County, Colorado for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related thereto except in such court. Service of process in any such proceeding may be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, or its international equivalent, directed to the respective party at the address at which it is to receive notice as provided herein. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the

jurisdiction or venue of any proceeding brought in any such court or any claim that a legal proceeding commenced in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.6 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action or suit based upon or arising out of any alleged breach by any party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of such action or suit from the other party.

9.7 Right to Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges that the unique nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the circumstances under which this Agreement has been entered into renders money damages for a breach of the parties’ respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement an inadequate remedy, and the parties agree that either party will be entitled to pursue specific performance as a remedy for such breach without the requirement of posting a bond or other security therefor.

9.8 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable law.

9.9 Further Assurances. The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement and complying with the provisions of all applicable laws and regulations.

9.10 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall, to the extent practicable, be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.11 Headings. The headings of the Sections, subsections, paragraphs, and subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of reference, and shall not be considered in construing their contents.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

9.14 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors.
