law, ordinances, regulations and codes which are relevant to their
performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
g. Client agrees that monetary damages for breach of confidentiality

the Parties’ obligations to one another shall be excused and/or
postponed during and only for the duration of the applicable force

of any applicable law, rule or regulation. Should any part of this
Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be
construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, provided that
neither Party is deprived thereby of the fundamental benefit of its
bargain. A Party’s failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall neither be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of
their right to enforce such provision. Each Party’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to duty of
confidentiality, indemnification, non-solicitation and all warranties
and representations, shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
