Common use of Independent Agreement Clause in Contracts

Independent Agreement. The covenants on the part of Executive in this Agreement will be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement and independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, (other than the Company’s willful and intentional failure to pay the Severance Amount, if payable hereunder) will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants. Each of the covenants of this Agreement are given by Executive as part of the consideration for this Agreement and as an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement.
