          counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate

          original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     5.9  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the
          other party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the

          party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to an injunction
          or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement

          any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
