The Executive acknowledges and confirms that his special knowledge of the business of the Company is or will be such as would cause the Company serious injury or loss if he were to use such ability and knowledge to the benefit of a competitor or were to compete with the Company in violation of the terms of this Section 5.

Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants in this Section 5, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company for which it would have no other adequate remedy, the Executive agrees that the foregoing covenants may be enforced by the Company in the event of breach by the Executive, by injunctions and restraining orders. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.</font></p>

The covenants in this Section 5 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed. Each covenant and agreement of Executive in this Section 5 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company (including the affiliates thereof), whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants or agreements. It is specifically agreed that the periods of restriction during which the agreements and covenants of the Executive made in this Section 5 shall be effective, shall be computed by extending such periods by the amount of time during which the Executive is in violation of any provision of Section 5. The covenants contained in this Section 5 shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any party hereto.</font></p>
