    if said Rule is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom
    the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with
    some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor
    any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws or to
    comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained

    the Party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise
    required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise
    of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise
    of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	Notwithstanding
    anything else contained herein, no Party shall seek, nor shall any Party be liable for, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages,
    under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any
    provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

 

Section
6.09 Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by
parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel
and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between
the Parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any Party in the construction or interpretation
of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

Agreement, or any of its rights or any of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any right to pursue any claim for
