-8-


 

exercise thereof. A waiver of any right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any other occasion.
          Section 4.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exchange Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the agreements listed on Schedule A, each of which remains in full force and effect.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a Party to this Agreement will be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at law or in equity.

          Section 4.14 Counterparts; Execution.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature by any Party and such signature is deemed binding for all purposes hereof, without delivery of an original signature being thereafter required.
          Section 4.15 Specific Performance. The Parties to this Agreement 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 monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor and therefore fully intend for specific performance to be the principal remedy for breaches of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1, the Parties to this Agreement will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 4.16 herein, without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 4.15 are an integral part of the Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4.15, and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
