9.3.

11.1. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the breach by it of any obligations hereunder may cause serious and irreparable harm to Licensor, which probably could not adequately be compensated for in damages. Licensee therefore consents to an order of specific performance or an order of injunctive relief being issued against Licensee restraining it from any further breach of such provisions and agrees that Licensor may issue such injunction against it without the necessity of an undertaking as to damages. The provisions of this section shall not derogate from any other remedy, which Licensor may have in the event of such a breach.
