Judicial Remedies In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Director of any provision of these restrictions, the Director recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Director consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Director from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Director expressly waives any requirement based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Director. The Director expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof are reasonable in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, or otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 6.4 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Director’s service with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.
