        upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company. An Executive's termination shall be

        Date (other than for Underperformance), (ii) a material reduction by the

        with the Company, the Company shall have no further obligation to Executive

        workers' compensation, and (ii) any relief sought for breach by Executive

        Sections 6-11 and/or under Section 20 of this Agreement, in which case a
        claim
        may be brought before any court in the State of Florida having jurisdiction
        over
        the matter, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement
        shall be settled by arbitration in Florida under the National Rules for the
        Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association
        in
        effect at the same time such controversy or claim arises (the “rules”) by one
        arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance
        with
        the Rules, the arbitrator also apportioning the costs of arbitration. The
        award
        of the arbitrator shall be in writing, shall be final and binding upon the
        parties, shall not be appealed from or contested in any court and may, in
        appropriate circumstances, include injunctive relief. Should a party fail
        to
        appear or be represented at the arbitration proceedings after due notice
        in
        accordance with the Rules, then the arbitrator may nevertheless render a
        decision in the absence of such party, and such decision shall have the same
        force and effect as if the absent party had been present, whether or not
        it
        shall be adverse to the interests of such party. Any award rendered hereunder
        may be entered for enforcement, if necessary, in any court of competent
        jurisdiction, and the party against whom enforcement is sought shall bear
        the
        expenses, including attorneys fees, of enforcement.

        of
        this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive
        against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall
        not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of the
        covenants contained in this Agreement.

      

      18.
        Severability. If the scope of any restriction contained in this Agreement

        such
        restriction may be judicially modified in any proceeding brought to enforce
        such
        restriction. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid
        or
        unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement and the
        remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

      

      19.

Remedies.
      The parties acknowledge

      although substantial, cannot be reasonably ascertained, and that recovery of
      damages at law will not be an adequate remedy. Executive therefore agrees that
      the Company and its Affiliates, in addition to any other remedy they may have
      under this Agreement or at law, shall be entitled to injunctive and other
      equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of any provision of this

      of
      any 180 days if the Common Stock of the Company is then publicly traded. If

      shall promptly employ one physician who is a member of the American Medical
      Association and who is reasonably acceptable to Executive to examine Executive
      and determine if Executive's physical or mental condition is such as to render
      Executive unable to perform Executive's duties under this Agreement. The
      decision of the physician shall be certified in writing to the Company, shall
      be
      sent by the Company to Executive or Executive's representative and shall be
      conclusive for purposes of this Agreement. Any compensation payments payable

      through the end of the Initial Term, but no other Benefit. Any such payment
      due
      to Executive shall be paid in cash or by check on the same dates on which
      Executive would otherwise have received payment of Executive’s annual base
      salary hereunder if employment had continued.

    

    (e)

      shall be entitled to withhold from any compensatory payments that it makes

      arbitration in Florida under the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment

      controversy or claim arises (the “rules”) by one arbitrator appointed by the

      be
      in writing, shall be final and binding upon the parties, shall not be appealed
      from or contested in any court and may, in appropriate circumstances, include
      injunctive relief. Should a party fail to appear or be represented at the
      arbitration proceedings after due notice in accordance with the Rules, then
      the
      arbitrator may nevertheless render a decision in the absence of such party,
      and
      such decision shall have the same force and effect as if the absent party had
      been present, whether or not it shall be adverse to the interests of such party.

      in
      any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party against whom enforcement
      is
      sought shall bear the expenses, including attorneys fees, of
      enforcement.

The covenants contained
      in
      this Agreement shall survive any termination of Executive's employment with
      the
      Company and any termination of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or
      cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this

      Company hereby consent and agree that the scope of such restriction may be
