21. |

amended or changed, and no provisions may be waived, except in a
writing signed by the party to be
bound.
This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements between you and Emerson with respect to the
matters set forth herein.
|
|
22. |
This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder do not and shall not confer any rights
to any third parties and no third parties shall have any rights under this Agreement. All remedies
available to either party for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such
remedy to the exclusion of other remedies. If any provision is held to be unenforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction as written, then such provision shall be deemed limited and restricted to
the extent that the court shall deem the provision to be enforceable. If any provision of this
Agreement shall to any extent be finally held to be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,
and any such prohibition, invalidation or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

The rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement which by their nature are intended to
survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
