(e) (i) The Nominee agrees that during the term of this Agreement he will not take any action, directly or indirectly, which, if the Nominee were deemed to be a Xxxxxxx Group Member, would be in violation of or inconsistent with any of the covenants and agreements made by the Xxxxxxx Group in clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) and (xiii) of Section 3(b) hereof, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent or limit the Nominee upon his election and qualification as a director of the Company and the Bank, from expressing his views or positions on matters related to the Company’s or the Bank’s business, operations or policies to other members of the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors at duly convened meetings of the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors in such manner as may be necessary and appropriate in order to fulfill his duties as a director; and

4. Notice of Breach and Remedies.
The parties expressly agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by any party will give rise to irreparable injury that cannot adequately be compensated by damages. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, each party shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order or injunctive relief to prevent a breach of the provisions of this Agreement or to secure specific enforcement of its terms and provisions.
The Xxxxxxx Group, each Xxxxxxx Group Member and the Nominee expressly agree that they will not be excused or claim to be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of any material breach by Cheviot unless and until Cheviot is given written notice of such breach and allowed thirty (30) business days either to cure such breach or seek relief in court.

If, after such thirty (30) business day period, Cheviot has not either reasonably cured such material breach or obtained relief in court, the Xxxxxxx Group, each Xxxxxxx Group Member or the Nominee may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Cheviot.
Cheviot expressly agrees that it will not be excused or claim to be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of any material breach by the Xxxxxxx Group, any Xxxxxxx Group Member or the Nominee unless and until the Xxxxxxx Group, each Xxxxxxx Group Member and the Nominee is given written notice of such breach and allowed thirty (30) business days either to cure such breach or seek relief in court. If the Xxxxxxx Group, any Xxxxxxx Group Member or the Nominee seeks relief in court, Cheviot irrevocably stipulates that any failure to perform by Cheviot or any assertion by Cheviot that it is excused from performing its obligations under this Agreement because it would cause the Xxxxxxx Group, each Xxxxxxx Group Member and the Nominee irreparable harm, then the Xxxxxxx Group, any Xxxxxxx Group Member or the Nominee shall not be required to provide further proof of irreparable harm in order to obtain equitable relief and that Cheviot shall not deny or contest that such circumstances would cause the Xxxxxxx Group, each Xxxxxxx Group Member and the Nominee irreparable harm.
