necessary and reasonable to protect the Company in the conduct of its business.

competent jurisdiction, to exceed the maximum permissible duration or
geographical scope or to exceed the maximum permissible restraints on Employee's
conduct during the Restricted Period, Employee and the Company agree that
paragraph 5 shall be deemed limited to the maximum duration, geographical scope
or restraint that a court of competent jurisdiction would deem valid and
enforceable, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

party waives any breach of this Agreement, the remainder of this Agreement shall
remain enforceable. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon you,
