Section 5.9           Specific Performance. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or if the Agreement was otherwise breached and that money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction, restraining order and/or such other equitable relief, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to enforce its rights and each of the obligations hereunder (without posting of bond or other security). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each party hereby agrees that specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches or threatened breaches by any other party to this Agreement, and no such party shall pursue any other form of relief (including monetary damages) that may be available for a breach of this Agreement.

Section 5.10         Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the parties in interest at the time of the amendment.

Section 5.11         Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of 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 shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

Section 5.12         Assignment; Successors; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that MSLO is hereby made a third party beneficiary of Article II herein only for the purpose of seeking specific performance of each Stockholder’s obligations thereunder; and provided, further, however, that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 4.10.

Section 5.13         Stockholder Capacity. The restrictions and covenants of each Stockholder hereunder shall not be binding, and shall have no effect, in any way with respect to any director or officer of MSLO or any of its Subsidiaries in such Person’s capacity as such a director or officer, nor shall any action taken by any such director or officer in his or her capacity as such be deemed a breach by a Stockholder of this Agreement.
