Moreover, in theevent any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, timeor territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intentionof the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent whichthe court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed to suchextent.

 

## (e)                                  Allof the covenants in this Section 3 shall be construed as an agreementindependent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of anyclaim or cause of action of Employee against the Company, whether predicated onthis Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcementby the Company of such covenants.
