6.Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement are reasonable
and necessary for the protection of the Company's business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company if You breach any of the terms of said covenants, and that in the event of Your
actual or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. You accordingly agree that, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by You of any of said
covenants, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing in this Section 6will
be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of any damages that it is able to prove.

7.Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the
parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver. No such written waiver will be deemed to be a
continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver will operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for
the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

8.Severability. You acknowledge that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the
Company and its goodwill. Each of the covenants in this Agreement will be construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of this Agreement. If any court of competent jurisdiction
at any time deems the Restricted Period unreasonably lengthy or any of the
covenants set forth in this Agreement not fully enforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless stand and to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and
effect, and it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary
by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent (for example, that the Restricted Period be deemed to be the longest period permissible by law,
but not in excess of the length provided for inSection 5).

Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been properly given: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) when sent by telecopier (with acknowledgment of complete transmission),
