l. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Voting Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Voting Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Voting Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Voting Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Voting Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Voting Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Voting Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Voting Agreement in accordance with this paragraph 3(l) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
