Interpretation and Scope of this Agreement. Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted on its own. If any provision is held to be unenforceable as written, including but not limited to being too broad as to the period of time, territory, and/or scope, then, and in that event, such provision will nonetheless remain valid and fully effective, but will be considered to be amended so that the period of time, territory, and/or scope set forth will be changed to be the maximum period of time, the largest territory, and/or the broadest scope, as the case may be, that would be found enforceable by such court or arbitrator. In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, then it shall (a) be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and (b) such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall then be construed as if such unenforceable portion(s) had never been contained herein.

Remedies. I understand and agree that if I breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement the Company would suffer immediate and irreparable harm and that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. I agree that, in the event of my breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to seek relief from a court to restrain me (on a temporary, preliminary and permanent basis) from using or disclosing Company Confidential Information or Inventions or otherwise violating the provisions of this Agreement, and that any such restraint shall be in addition to (and not instead of) any and all other remedies to which the Company shall be entitled, including money damages. The Company shall not be required to post a bond to secure against an imprudently granted injunction (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent). In addition, and not instead of those rights, I further covenant that I shall be responsible for payment of the fees and expenses of the Company’s attorneys and experts, as well as the Company’s court costs, pertaining to any suit, arbitration, mediation, action or other proceeding, including the costs of any investigation related thereto, arising directly or indirectly out of my violation or threatened violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Reasonableness of Covenants. I understand that the nature of my position gives me access to and knowledge of Confidential Information and places me in a position of trust and confidence with the Company. I understand and acknowledge that the services I provide to the Company are unique, special or extraordinary because of my educational background, technical expertise, knowledge of the industry, and relationships with potential clients and vendors related to Company’s business. I further understand and acknowledge that the Company’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company, and that improper use or disclosure by me is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity. I acknowledge and agree that the restrictions that are set forth in this Agreement and the location and period of time for which such restrictions apply are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and shall survive the termination of my employment. I further acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will not prevent me from earning a livelihood during the applicable period of restriction.
