may seek from any court having jurisdiction hereof any interim,
provisional or injunctive relief or specific performance that may be
necessary to protect the rights or property of any Party or to
maintain the status quo before, during or after the pendency of the
arbitration proceeding. The institution and maintenance of any
judicial action or proceeding for any such interim, provisional or
injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or
obligation of either Party to submit the dispute to arbitration,
including any claims or disputes arising from the exercise of any such
interim, provisional or injunctive relief. 15. Notices. 15.1. Delivery of Notices. All notices sent under this Agreement shall be

severable, and the unenforceability of any provision of this

manner designed to effectuate the purpose of that provision to the

hereafter available at law or in equity. Neither asserting a right nor
employing a remedy shall preclude the concurrent assertion of any other
right or employment of any other remedy, nor shall the failure to
