Breach. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are fair, reasonable, and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company, that the Company will suffer irreparable harm in the event of any actual or threatened breach by Executive, and that it is difficult to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Company by reason of a failure by Executive to perform any of Executive’s obligations under this Section 6. Accordingly, if the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates institutes any action or proceeding to enforce their rights under this Section 6, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that the Company or its Affiliates has an adequate remedy at law, Executive shall not claim that any such remedy at law exists, and Executive consents to the entry of a restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other preliminary, provisional, or permanent court order to enforce this Agreement, and expressly waives any security that might otherwise be required in connection with such relief. Executive also agrees that any request for such relief by the Company shall be in addition and without prejudice to any claim for monetary damages and/or other relief which the Company might elect to assert. In the event Executive violates any provision of this Section 6. In the event Executive violates any provision of this Section 6, and the Company is the completely prevailing party in such action, the Company shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses of enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the time periods set forth above shall be extended for the period of time Executive remains in violation of the provisions. Conversely, in the event that Executive is the completely prevailing party in any action brought by the Company with respect to this Section 6, then Executive shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and shall thereafter be relieved of all restrictions contained in this Section 6. In the event any provision of this Section is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction it is agreed the remaining and other provisions shall be enforced and the provision so found unenforceable shall be reformed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Remedies for Breach of Agreement. Executive acknowledges that Executive's breach of any promise or covenant contained in Section 6 will result in irreparable injury to Company and that Company's remedies at law for such a breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees and consents that Company, in addition to all other remedies available at law and in equity, shall be entitled to both preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent and/or halt a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any such promise or covenant, and Executive waives the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the promises and covenants contained in Section 6 are enforceable, reasonable, and valid.

If, at the time of enforcement of any of [Sections 6 through 11], a court holds that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access and will receive to trade secrets of the Company Group and other Confidential Information, Intellectual Property Rights and Company-Related Developments, the parties hereto agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company, each member of the Company Group (as intended third party beneficiaries hereunder) and their respective successors or permitted assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, be entitled # from any court of competent jurisdiction to specific performance and/or injunctive relief, and entitled to other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without # the posting of any bond or other security, # the necessity of showing actual damages or # the necessity of showing that monetary damages are an inadequate remedy), and # to the payment by Executive of the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by each member of the Company Group in the course of enforcing the terms of this Agreement, including demonstrating the existence of a breach or threatened breach of any of the terms of [Sections 6 through 11]. Any such remedies will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, damages and remedies available under law or otherwise, including monetary damages. Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in [Sections 6 through 11] are reasonable, and to the extent Executive breaches any of the restrictions in [Sections 6 through 11], the Company shall have the right to suspend, terminate and/or recoup any Severance Payments.

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this [Section 6] by the Executive, the Company may suffer irreparable harm and, therefore, in advance of arbitration, the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief restraining the Executive from such breach or threatened breach of the restrictive covenants contained in this [Section 5] in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it in arbitration for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section by the Company, the Executive may suffer irreparable reputation harm and, therefore, the Executive shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief restraining the Company from such breach or threatened breach of the restrictive covenants contained in Section. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Executive from pursuing any other remedies available to him for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Company.

Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach by him of any of the provisions of this Section 9 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. Therefore, if the Executive breaches or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of Section 9, the Company shall have the ability to seek the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of damages): # the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the need to prove damages) by any court having equity jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to an entry against the Executive of restraining orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such covenants; and # the right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) derived or received by him as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Executive shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company and, if applicable, its affected subsidiaries and/or affiliates. The Executive agrees that in any action seeking specific performance or other equitable relief, he will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of this Section 9 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. Other than a material breach of this Agreement, the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants.

Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 6, Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy, and Company and the other members of the Company Group shall be entitled to specific performance, injunction and such other equitable relief as may be necessary or desirable to enforce the restrictions contained herein. Such remedies are not exclusive, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting Company or the other members of the Company Group from pursuing any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach or any other breach of this Agreement.

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and restrictions pertaining to him contained in [Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4] of this Agreement are reasonable and valid in the circumstances and all of such covenants and restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of, rights of the Company or obligations of the Executive imposed by statutory or common law. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates would suffer irreparable injury in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of such covenants or restrictions, that money damages would be an inadequate remedy at law in connection with any such breach and that the Company and its Affiliates will therefore be entitled to, in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights of the Company and its Affiliates at law or equity (including, but not limited to, any action for money damages), temporary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining and restraining the Executive from any such breach or threatened breach. The Executive therefore agrees that any court having jurisdiction may enter a preliminary or permanent restraining order or injunction against the Executive in the event of actual or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, and that any such relief will not preclude the Company its Affiliates from seeking any other relief at law or equity with respect to any such claim.

The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of Section 4, 5 or 6 due to the Executive’s unique services provided to the Company as further detailed above will result in irreparable injury to the Company (or its Affiliates), that monetary damages will be an inadequate remedy for such breach and that, accordingly, in addition to any other remedy that the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of any breach hereof without posting bond or other security. In the event the Company brings an action to obtain such relief, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in said action, and the court in which said action is brought shall award such expenses to the prevailing party as part of the costs of such action.
