(i)             Agreement in Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each copy of which when so executed, then delivered or transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(j)             Headings.  The headings of the Sections hereof are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the meaning of any provision hereof.

 

(k)             Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstance shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any party or circumstance other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, or to delete specific words or phrases, and to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.

 

(l)             Expenses.  Each party shall be responsible for its own expenses in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

(m)             Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR ANY DISPUTE ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COUNTERACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE.

 

(n)             Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that they will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement are not specifically enforced.  Should any controversy arise concerning a breach of any provision of this Agreement, an order or injunction may be issued restraining the breach pending the determination of such controversy (without the posting of any bond and without proving that damages would be inadequate), and the resolution of the controversy shall be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance.  Each party hereto shall be permitted to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state thereof or any other court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law, in equity or otherwise.
