The Executive acknowledges that the purpose and effect of this paragraph is solely to elect private arbitration in lieu of any judicial proceeding he might otherwise have available to his in the event of an employment-related dispute between his and the Company. Therefore, the Executive hereby waives his right to have any such employment-related dispute heard by a court or jury, as the case may be, and agrees that his exclusive procedure to redress any employment-related claims will be arbitration. Company shall pay the arbitration costs changed by HKCC when required to make this section fully enforceable in respect to all claims.

d.   The Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance as against the Executive, for the Executive’s threatened or actual breach of paragraphs 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement, as money damages for a breach thereof would be incapable of precise estimation, uncertain, and an insufficient remedy for an actual or threatened breach of paragraphs 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement. The Executive and the Company agree that any pursuit of equitable relief in respect of paragraphs 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement shall have no effect whatsoever regarding the continued viability and enforceability of paragraph 13 of this Agreement.

The Company and the Executive agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may implement such alterations or adjustments for any or no reason and that any such action shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as the Company continues to perform its remaining obligations as provided by this Agreement.

 

i.   This instrument constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter. When signed by all parties, this Agreement supersedes and nullifies all prior or contemporaneous conversations, negotiations, or agreements, oral and written, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. In any future construction of this Agreement, this Agreement should be given its plain meaning. This Agreement may only be amended only by a writing signed by the Company and the Executive.

 

j.   Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, paragraphs 10, 11 and 12  of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following such termination.

 

k.

14.           EQUITABLE RELIEF  美国衡平法救济手段

Executive recognizes and agrees that a remedy at law for breach of this Agreement, in particular, Sections 4.3-4.4 of this Agreement, by Executive may not be adequate for the protection of AOBO and that AOBO shall have right to obtain, in addition to any other relief and remedies available to it, equitable relief, whether mandatory or restraining, to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, including injunctive relief and specific performance.  In the event AOBO obtains a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, or other restraint under this section, the duration of any limitations on Executive embodied in this Agreement shall be extended by the period of non-compliance by Executive so that AOBO shall enjoy the full term of such limitations applicable to Executive under this Agreement.

高管承认并且同意,对于高管违反本协议,特别是本协议第4.3-4.4条款的美国普通法救济手段,对AOBO的保护可能是不够的,因此,在享有其他各种救济和赔偿之外,AOBO还应当有权利得到衡平法救济,无论是强制性的还是抑制性,用来强制执行本协议的规定,包括禁令救济和实际履行。如果AOBO依据本条规定获得临时限制令、初步禁制令、永久禁止令或者其他限制性救济,则本协议包含的对高管的任何限制的持续时间应当延长,延长的期间相当于高管违约状态的持续时间,以便AOBO能够享有本协议项下适用于高管的所有此等限制措施的完整期间。
