5.13 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.14 Independent Nature of
Purchasers' Obligations and Rights; Separate Counsel. The
obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations
of any other Purchaser under this Agreement or any other related agreement.
Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any related
agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as
an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Purchaser has been represented by
its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the
Agreement.
5.15 Attorney's
Fees. In any proceeding arising out of this Agreement,
including with respect to any instrument, document or agreement made under or in
connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover its costs and actual attorneys' fees. As used in this
Agreement, "actual attorneys' fees" shall mean the full and actual cost of any
legal services actually performed in connection with the matters involved,
calculated on the basis of the usual hourly fees charged by the attorneys
performing such services.
