SECTION 12.4 (Intentionally Left Blank)
SECTION 12.5 (Intentionally Left Blank)
SECTION 12.6 WAIVER.
The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not
alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any
right under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement
operates as a waiver of such right, and no single or partial exercise of any
such right precludes any other or further exercise of such right or the
exercise of any other right. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred
to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a
waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the
other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable
except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or
demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such
party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further
action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents
referred to in this Agreement.
SECTION 12.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral,
between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along
with the Exhibits and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a
complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the
parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended
except by a written agreement signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
SECTION 12.8 ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.
No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, except
that Buyer may assign any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations
under this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Buyer, provided that no such
assignment or delegation shall relieve Buyer from any of its obligations
hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement applies to, is
binding in all respects upon, and inures to the benefit of the successors and
permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed
to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or
equitable right under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of
this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted
assignee pursuant to this Section 12.8.
SECTION 12.9 SEVERABILITY.

contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect
under the laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary
to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or

is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving
effect to the intent of the parties.
