the Corporation may have furnished in writing to the Holder; and
(ii) if to the Holder, at the Holder's address appearing in the books
maintained by the Corporation.
10.6 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. No failure or delay of the Holder in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Holder are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. The
provisions of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived with (and only
with) the written consent of the Corporation and the Holder.
10.7 GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
10.8 COVENANTS TO BIND SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. All covenants,
stipulations, promises and agreements in this Warrant shall be binding on and
inure to the benefit of the Corporation and the Holder and their respective
successors, assigns and transferees, whether so expressed or not.
10.9 SEVERABILITY. In case any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
10.10 CONSTRUCTION. The definitions of this Warrant shall apply equally
to both the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined. Wherever the
context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine,
feminine and neuter forms. The section and paragraph headings used herein are
for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Warrant and are not to
affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this
Warrant.
10.11 REMEDIES. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Corporation agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees
to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision
of this Warrant or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense,
the
successful party to such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to any other available remedy.
10.12 COUNTERPARTS; DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Warrant may be executed
in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of this
Warrant may be effected by facsimile.
