If after notice to User, User fails to take any action which User is obliged to take under the terms of this Agreement, Outreach shall have the right and option, but not the duty, to bring an action for specific performance to compel such action by User, and shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs, expenses, attorney's fees and disbursements with respect thereto if such specific performance is awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
