fully enforceable.

Section 4.05 Non-Solicitation and
Non-Interference. During the period ending on the
twelve month (12) anniversary of the termination of the Executive’s employment

irreparable harm to the Company and that damages are not an adequate remedy. The
Executive therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled to seek an
injunction enjoining, prohibiting and restraining the Executive from the
continuance of any such violation, in addition to any monetary damages which
might occur by reason of a violation of this Agreement or any other remedies at
law or in equity, including without limitation specific performance, and that
in any such action the Executive will not raise as a defense the argument that
an adequate remedy for such breach exists at law.

The covenants set forth in the foregoing Sections of this Article IV are and
shall be deemed and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any
part or provision of such covenants be held invalid, void or unenforceable in
any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability
shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision
thereof. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
any portion of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.05 is found to be invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, the Territory and/or
the Business are invalid or unreasonable in scope, such duration, Territory
and/or Business, as the case may be, shall be redefined by consideration of the
reasonable concerns and needs of the Company such that the intent of the
Company and the Executive, in agreeing to Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05
and 4.06, will not be impaired and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
