7.2 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by the Executive to the Company are of a special and unique character; that the Executive will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the Company’s industry, methods of doing business and marketing strategies by virtue of the Executive’s employment; and that the restrictive covenants and other terms and conditions of this Agreement are reasonable and reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest of the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that the amount of the Executive’s compensation and the consideration to be paid pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement reflect, in part, the Executive’s obligations and the Company’s rights under the Confidentiality Agreement; that the Executive has no expectation of any additional compensation, royalties or other payment of any kind not otherwise referenced herein in connection herewith; and that the Executive will not be subject to undue hardship by reason of the Executive’s full compliance with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement or the Company’s enforcement thereof.
