breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 3.11    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed among the parties that, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or PM and/or the PM Trust, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and PM and/or the PM Trust, on the other hand, will be entitled, without the requirement to post a bond therefor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other party under this Agreement.

By seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 3.11, a party will not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages), and nothing set forth in this Section 3.11 will require any party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 3.11, nor will the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 3.11 or anything set forth in this Section 3.11 restrict or limit any party’s right to pursue any other remedies for damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement.

Section 3.12    Further Assurances. The parties will do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and will execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments or documents as any other party may reasonably request from time to time in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
