to earn a living. Executive acknowledges that it may be impossible to assess the monetary damages occurred by Executive’s violation of sections 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement, that violations of those sections will be material breaches of this
Agreement and will cause irreparable injury to the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that Company will be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies which may be available, to an injunction in joining and restraining Executive and
any other involved party from committing a violation of this Agreement, and Executive consents to the issuance and entry of such injunction. In addition, Company will be entitled to such damages as it can demonstrate that it sustained by reason of
the violation of this Agreement by the Executive and/or others. The parties agree that in the event of any litigation to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover all costs, including reasonable
attorney’s fees, from the non-prevailing party. In the event Company enforces this section through a Court Order, Executive agrees that the restriction on Executive following termination of employment set forth in this Agreement shall remain in
effect for a period of one year from the date of the final Court Order enforcing this Agreement.

use any of the foregoing. The Executive acknowledges that he does not have, and will not acquire, any ownership rights in such materials and things.

disagreement, dispute or controversy which cannot be resolved between the parties, including without limitation any matter relating to the interpretation of this Agreement, may be submitted to arbitration irrespective of the magnitude thereof, the

	 	(d)	Any decision or award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Employee and the Company. The Employee and the Company hereby waive to the extent permitted by law
any rights to appeal or to review of such award by any court or tribunal. The Employee and the Company agree that the arbitration award may be enforced against the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets wherever they may be found and
that a judgment upon the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	Conformity to the legal rules of evidence shall not be required in the arbitration. At any oral hearing of evidence in connection with the arbitration, each party thereto or its
legal counsel shall have the right to examine its witnesses and to cross-examine such witness, except as the parties to the dispute otherwise agree in writing or except under the extraordinary circumstances where the interests or justice require a
different procedure. 

  

	 	(f)	This Section 12 shall not prohibit or limit in any way the Company from seeking or obtaining preliminary or interim injunctive or other equitable relief from a court for a
breach or alleged breach of any of the covenants and agreements of the Employee contained in Sections 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement. Any court order obtained by the Company requiring performance of any such covenant or agreement shall remain in
effect until dissolved or modified by the court or until superseded by an arbitral award. 

  

	 	(g)	In light of the disparate economic positions of the Company and Employee the Company hereby agrees to pay Employee’s attorney’s fees and costs as and when such fees and
costs are incurred with regard to any dispute or negotiation involving the Employee and the Company. 

  

	13.	Severability 

 Each provision hereof is severable
from this Agreement, and if one or more provisions hereof are declared invalid the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad, in scope or duration or otherwise, as to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 
  

	14.	Employee’s Right to Contract 

 Employee
represents and warrants to the Company that he is legally free to make and perform this Agreement, that he has no obligation to any other person or entity that would affect or conflict with any of his obligations hereunder, and that the complete
performance of his obligations hereunder will not violate any law, regulation order or decree of any governmental or judicial body or contract by which he is bound. The Employee agrees not to use in the course of the Employment any information
obtained in the Employee’s employment with any previous employer to the extent that such use would violate any contract by which he is bound or decision, law, regulation, order or decree of any governmental or judicial body.

	16.	No Waiver 

 The failure to enforce at any time any
of the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect the validity of this Agreement, or any part
hereof, or the right of either party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
