necessity of showing any actual damage or posting any bond or furnishing any other security, and that the specific enforcement of the provisions of this Section will not diminish your ability to earn a livelihood or create or impose any undue
hardship on you. You also agree that any request for such relief by the Company shall be in addition to, and without prejudice to, any claim for monetary damages that the Company may elect to assert. You further acknowledge and agree that if any
provision of this Section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or unreasonable as written, you authorize and request said court to revise the unenforceable or unreasonable provision in a manner that shall result in the
