9.   Headings; Counterparts.   Section Headings in this Amendment are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed by different parties on any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.   Cumulative Rights and Severability.   All rights and remedies of the Purchasers and Agent hereunder shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any rights or remedies such Persons have under law or otherwise. Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, in such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting such provision in any other jurisdiction.
