and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties,
written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.



 









 





     (c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under
any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein.



     (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in three or
more counterparts (including by means of facsimile machine or e-mail), any one of which need not
contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement.

of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the
other parties hereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to

permitted assigns.



     (f) Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this

enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including
attorneys’ fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other
rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not
be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party in its
sole discretion may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction (without proof of damages or
posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to
enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.



     (j) Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended
only with the prior written consent of the parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto of any
provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant
hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced nor shall such waiver be
deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent
such occurrence.



 









 





     (k) Further Assurance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, after the date hereof, each of the Company and the Purchasers will use its reasonable
best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to give full effect to
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.



     (l) Delivery by Facsimile; E-mail. This Agreement and any amendments hereto,
to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or e-mail, shall be treated in
all manner and respects as an original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver
them to all other parties. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail to
deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or
communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail as a defense to the formation or
enforceability of a contact and each such party forever waives any such defense.
