and costs and expenses in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing
party may be entitled. Both parties agree that this Agreement, along with Tint’s

hereto or any other person unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and

the parties to this Agreement; except that Sections 6, 7, and 9 are intended to
