Agreement. 


6





 



        (d)   Nothing
in this Section 12 shall prohibit the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding common stock, capital
stock and equity of any firm, corporation or enterprise so long as the Executive has no active participation in the management or business of such firm, corporation or enterprise. 


        (e)   If
the restrictions stated herein are found by a court to be unreasonable, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under

reasonable attorney's fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without
posting any bond or deposit) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this
Section 13 is intended to prevent the parties from raising any and all defenses with respect to the necessity for, and scope of, such injunctive or equitable relief. 


14.   RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.  


        Subject to the provisions of Section 13 regarding specific performance and/or injunctive relief, any disputes arising under or in connection with this

        (a)   Subject
to the provisions of Sections 13 and 14, in the event any party hereto (for the purposes of this Section 15, the "Aggrieved Party") seeks a judicial
adjudication of, or an award in arbitration to enforce, the Aggrieved Party's rights under, or to recover damages for the breach of, this Agreement, the Aggrieved Party shall be entitled to recover
from the other party or parties, as the case may be, and shall be indemnified by the other party or parties, as the case may be, against, any and all costs actually and reasonably incurred by the
Aggrieved Party in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, but only if the Aggrieved Party prevails in such proceeding. 


16.   ASSIGNABILITY; BINDING NATURE.  


        This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of the Executive) and assigns.
Rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing entity, or the
sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and
such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. The Company further agrees that,
