of the Company to claim and recover monetary damages against Executive for any breach of this Agreement, in addition to injunctive
relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants shall be construed as agreements independent of any other
provision of this or any other contract between the parties hereto, and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive

Company of said covenants.
