Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened
breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or,
in the case of Seller, Section 3, would cause the other Party
irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate
remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened
breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief,
including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance,
and any other relief that may be available from any court, without
any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual
damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such
remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies
