          <U>Reasonableness</U>. The restrictions contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 are

          <U>Equitable Relief</U>. Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered
          by him are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual
          character, which gives them a peculiar value, and the loss of which cannot
          reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law; and that
          a breach by him of any of the provisions contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of
          this Agreement will cause RARE irreparable injury and damage. Executive further
          acknowledges that he possesses unique skills, knowledge and ability and that any
          material breach of the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement
          would be extremely detrimental to RARE. By reason thereof, Executive agrees that
          the Company and RARE Parent shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies
          they may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to injunctive and other
          equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of the provisions of Sections
          4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement by her. </FONT></P>
