binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, legal representatives, successors and, where applicable,
assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party may assign its rights or
benefits hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

14. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalidity or
unenforceability will not affect the validity and enforceability of the other
provisions of this Agreement and the provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable shall be construed and enforced as nearly as possible according to
its original terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability.

15. WAIVER. Failure of a Party to enforce one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement or to require at any time performance of any of the obligations of
this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions by such
Party nor to in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or such Party’s
right thereafter to enforce any provision of this Agreement, nor to preclude
such Party from taking any other action at any time which it would legally be
entitled to take.

16. DAMAGES. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Company
or the Executive from seeking and recovering from the other damages sustained by
either or both of them as a result of its or his breach of any term or provision
of this Agreement. In the event that either party hereto brings suit for the
collection of any damages resulting from, or the injunction of any action
constituting, a breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, then
the party found to be at fault shall pay all reasonable court costs and
attorneys' fees of the other, whether such costs and fees are incurred in a
court of original jurisdiction or one or more courts of appellate jurisdiction.

is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person (other
than the parties hereto and, in the case of the Executive, his heirs, personal
representative(s) and/or legal representative) any rights or remedies under or
by reason of this Agreement. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, have been made by either party with respect to
the subject matter of this Agreement which agreements or representations are not
set forth expressly in this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes any other
employment agreement between the Company and the Executive.

which is specifically designated by the Board.
