any other remedies and damages available, (i) seek an injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain any such failure or refusal and (ii) be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages. No single exercise of any or all of the foregoing remedies shall be deemed to exhaust Parent’s right to such remedies to the extent afforded under applicable Law.

Parent and Stockholder intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. If any provision, or part thereof, however, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the area covered thereby, all parties agree that the court (or an arbitrator) making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.

10.Termination. This Agreement and all obligations, covenants and agreements contained herein shall automatically terminate and cease to be effective at the earlier to occur of: (a) the termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article VII thereof; or (b) the effective date of a written agreement of the parties hereto terminating this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5 and Sections 8 to 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

11.Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived only by an instrument in writing duly executed by Stockholder and Parent. Any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as shall be specified in the instrument effecting the same and shall be binding upon the Parties, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purposes for which given.

12.Waiver. No failure on the part of Stockholder or Parent to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by applicable Law.
