Common use of Modifications to Section 4 Clause in Contracts

Modifications to Section 4. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 4 of this Agreement, a court shall hold that the period, scope, or geographical area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope, or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope, or geographical area and that the court shall revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope, and geographical area permitted by law. If, in any proceeding, a court refuses to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because, taken together, they are deemed more extensive than necessary to assure Employer of the intended benefit of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that those of such covenants or portions of such covenants that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate covenants or portions thereof to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purpose of such proceeding, be deemed eliminated from the provisions hereof. Employee acknowledges that Employee is a member of Employer’s management group with access to Employer’s confidential business information and Employee’s services are unique to Employer and the Related Entities. Employee therefore agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4 will be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach, Employer may, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it at law, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain specific performance and/or injunctive relief prohibiting Employee (together with all those persons associated with Employee) from the breach of such covenants and agreements and to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Employee of this Section 4, the applicable Non-Compete Period and Non-Solicitation Period set forth in this Section shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured.
