Further Acknowledgments. I understand that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary and reasonable for the protection of the Company’s business, goodwill and its Confidential Information. I understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, including the return of consideration paid for this Agreement, I agree that the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief. Any business entity that employs me in a capacity in which I violate this Agreement shall be liable for damages and injunctive relief. Further, I understand that the Company intends to install the full measure of protections permitted by the law to protect its Confidential Information and business relationships, but does not intend to impose any greater protections on me than those permitted by law. I acknowledge that the law that governs restrictive covenants such as this, is important, rapidly changing and varies from state to state. I also understand that the law that will apply to this Agreement after I terminate will depend on factors such as where I live, where I work, the location of my employer, the location of my former employer and other factors, many which are unknown at the time I enter this Agreement. I understand that I have been advised to consult with an attorney of my choice to discuss this agreement and my legal obligations under this agreement after my termination of employment. I understand that Paragraphs 3(a) and 3(b) do not apply and will not be enforced in California or other states where restrictions such as contained in those paragraphs are not permitted.
