Agreement. 

	11.	INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 

 The Consultant
acknowledges that disclosure of any Confidential Information by him will give rise to irreparable injury to the Company or the owner of such information, inadequately compensable in damages. Accordingly, the Company or such other party may seek and
obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available. The Consultant further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the termination of
this Agreement his experience and capabilities are such that he can obtain a consulting arrangement or employment in business activities which are either (1) of a different or non-competing nature with his activities as a consultant for the
Company, or (2) are carried on in a different geographic location; and that the enforcement of a remedy hereunder by way of injunction will not prevent him from earning a reasonable livelihood. 
 The Consultant further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate
business interest and are reasonable in scope and content. 
  

	12.	COMPLETE AGREEMENT 

 This agreement
contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered herein. No other agreement, representations, warranties or other matters, oral or written, purportedly agreed to or represented by or on behalf of
Consultant by any of its employees or agents, or contained in any sales materials or brochures, shall be deemed to bind the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Company acknowledges that it is entering into this Agreement solely
on the basis of the representation contained herein. 
  

	13.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 Consultant hereby
indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, demands and actions, and any liabilities, damages or expenses resulting there from, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees,
arising out of or relating to the services performed by Consultant under this Agreement or the representations and warranties made by Consultant pursuant to paragraph 7 hereof. Consultant’s obligations under this paragraph 8 hereof shall
survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement. 
  

	14.	ATTORNEY’S FEES 

 Should either party
hereto, or any heir, personal representative, successor or assign of either party hereto, resort to litigation to enforce this Agreement, the party or parties prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may
be granted, to recover its or their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in such litigation from the party or parties against whom enforcement was sought. 

	15.	NONWAIVER 

 No failure or neglect of
either party hereto in any instance to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder or under law shall constitute a waiver of any other right, power or privilege or of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance. All waivers by
either party hereto must be contained in a written instrument signed by the party to be charged and, in the case of the Company, by an executive officer of the Company or other person duly authorized by the Company. 
  

	16.	REMEDY FOR BREACH 

 The parties hereto
agree that, in the event of breach or threatened breach of the Agreement, the damage or imminent damage to the value and the goodwill of the Company’s business will be inestimable, and that therefore any remedy at law or in damages shall be
inadequate. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against Consultant in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Consultant, in addition to any other relief (including damages and the
right of the Company to stop payments hereunder which is hereby granted) available to the Company under this Agreement or under law. 
  

	17.	SEVERABILITY; ENFORCEMENT 

 If any
provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstances, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied
to other person, places, and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.
