Supporting Party set forth in this Support Agreement shall be construed as
independent of any other Contract between such Supporting Party, on the one
hand, and the Company or Purchaser, on the other hand. The existence of any
claim or cause of action by any Supporting Party against the Company or
Purchaser shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such
covenants or obligations against such Supporting Party. Nothing in this Support
Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Purchaser or the Company
under the Merger Agreement, or any of the rights or remedies of Purchaser or the
Company or any of the obligations of any Supporting Party under any agreement
between such Person and Purchaser or the Company or any certificate or
instrument executed by such Person in favor of Purchaser or the Company; and
