7.          Remedy
for Breach. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 5 and 6
(the “Restrictive Covenants”) of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that remedies

the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants contained herein or injunctive relief against activities
in violation of the Restrictive Covenants by temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order,
without the necessity of proving actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not diminish the right
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
against the Company, whether predicated upon this or any other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the
Company of said covenants.
