9.6 EQUITABLE RELIEF. CUSTOMER acknowledges that EXABEAM would suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy if CUSTOMER were to breach its obligations under Sections 2.2 (Restrictions) or 2.3 (Ownership). CUSTOMER therefore expressly agrees that EXABEAM shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including injunctive relief, from any court having jurisdiction, to protect rights and interests in connection with Section 2 of this Agreement or in connection with any license restriction contained herein.

9.8 WAIVERS; AMENDMENT. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on a party unless such party makes the waiver in hardcopy writing signed by an authorized representative of that party. The failure of one party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time the performance of the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of a party to enforce each and every provision thereafter.

9.9 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid or unenforceable by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then the meaning of such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
9.1O FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of: (1) any provision of any present or future law or regulation that applies to the subject matter hereof; or (2) strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, government action, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, power outages or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of such party.

9.12 COUNTERPARTS; AUTHORIZATION; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Each party represents that the person signing this Agreement on such party’s behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement on behalf of such party.

9.13 TRADEMARKS
9.13.1 GENERAL. CUSTOMER grants EXABEAM the non-exclusive right to use CUSTOMER’s trade and service marks (“Marks”) in accordance with CUSTOMER’s trademark usage guidelines, which may include a requirement for prior approval as to usage, and EXABEAM acknowledges that CUSTOMER may, from time to time, revise these trademark usage guidelines. EXABEAM agrees to cooperate with CUSTOMER in facilitating CUSTOMER’s monitoring and control of the nature and quality of marketing materials and to supply CUSTOMER with specimens of use of the Marks upon request, and to comply with any instructions of CUSTOMER in relation to Mark use.
