                  proves
                  to Beanstream that the products offered by the other business or
                  entity do

                  of
                  competent jurisdiction (or other governing body) shall refuse to
                  enforce
                  any one or more of the Separate Covenants (or any part thereof),
                  then such
                  unenforceable covenant (or part thereof) shall be deemed eliminated
                  from
                  this Agreement only for the purpose of those proceedings and only
                  to the
                  extent necessary to permit the remaining Separate Covenants (or
                  portions
                  thereof) to be enforced.

                  (or other governing body) with respect to territorial or time limitation
                  shall not be considered to be a "re-drafting" of this agreement,

                  Agreement remain binding on the Employee upon any termination of

                  an amount
                  equal to six months of the then existing annual salary of the Employee,
                  regardless of the amount of notice actually given to the employee
                  pursuant
                  to statute and regardless of the amount of time worked by the Employee
                  after such notice is so given by Beanstream, except in the case
                  of a
                  merger or acquisition of Beanstream in which case the equivalent
                  of one
                  year of their existing salary should be paid in lieu of
                  notice.  The Employee hereby agrees that any amount due and
                  payable to the Employee pursuant to section 9.1 shall be included,
                  and not
                  in addition, to the amount payable pursuant to this section

                11.1

              	
                The
                  Employee agrees that:

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (a)

              	
                it
                  would be difficult to measure damage to Beanstream from any breach
                  by the
                  Employee of the promises set forth in sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10,
                  and 12
                  herein;

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                (b)

              	
                the
                  injury to Beanstream from any such breach would be impossible to
                  calculate; and

                that
                  money damages would therefore be inadequate remedy for such
                  breach.

                Accordingly,
                  the Employee agrees that if the Employee breaches any provisions of
                  sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12, Beanstream shall be entitled,
                  in
                  addition to all other remedies it may have, to an injunction or
                  other
                  appropriate order to remain any breach or continuation of such
                  breach by
                  the Employee, without Beanstream being required to show or prove
                  any
                  actual damage sustained by
                  Beanstream.
