Injunctive Relief; Invalidity of Any Provision. Grantee acknowledges that # his or her services to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, # his or her position with the Company will place him or her in a position of confidence and trust with respect to the operations of the Company, # he or she will benefit from continued employment with the Company, # the nature and periods of restrictions imposed by the covenants contained in this Section II hereof are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the Company, # the Company would sustain immediate and irreparable loss and damage if Grantee were to breach any of such covenants, and # the Company’s remedy at law for such a breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Grantee agrees and consents that the Company, in addition to the recovery of damages and all other remedies available to it, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek both preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent and/or halt a breach or threatened breach by Grantee of any covenant contained in Section II hereof. If any provision of this Section II is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid in whole or in part, it shall be deemed to have been amended, whether as to time, area covered or otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity under applicable law, and as so amended, shall be enforceable. The parties further agree to execute all documents necessary to evidence such amendment.

Injunctive Relief. Grantee acknowledges that if he/she breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section 2, his/her actions may cause irreparable harm and damage to the Company which could not be compensated in damages. Accordingly, if Grantee breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Grantee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of Grantee’s agreements under this Section 2.
