If, in any judicial proceeding, a court of competent jurisdiction shall
refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants deemed included in this
Agreement, or shall find that the term or geographical scope of one or more
of the separate covenants is unreasonably broad, the parties shall use their
best good faith efforts to attempt to agree on a valid provision which shall
be a reasonable substitute for the invalid provision. The reasonableness of
the substitute provision shall be considered in light of the purpose of the
covenants and the reasonable prospectable interests of the Company and PAN.
The substitute provision shall be incorporated into this Agreement. If the
parties are unable to agree on a substitute provision, then the invalid or
unreasonably broad provision shall be deemed deleted or modified to the
minimum extent necessary to permit enforcement.

exposed to information that is or will be confidential and proprietary to the
Company. The information includes customer lists, marketing plans, pricing
data, product plans, software, and other intangible information. Such

within the trade. PAN agrees to make use of such information only in
performance of its duties under this Agreement, to maintain such information
in confidence and to disclose the information only to persons with a need to
know.
Section 9. Remedies. PAN acknowledges that monetary damages would be
inadequate to compensate the Company for any breach by PAN of the covenants
set forth in this Agreement. PAN agrees that, in addition to other remedies
which may be available, the Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or the continuation of
any breach, or both, without the necessity of proving actual damages.

provision of this Agreement by PAN shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by PAN.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.

any dispute, difference, or disagreement shall arise upon or in respect of

difference, and disagreement shall be referred to a single arbiter agreed
upon by both parties, or if no single arbiter can be agreed upon, an arbiter
or arbiters shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the American

shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing
commercial rules of the AAA, and judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbiter may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

brought by any party under this Agreement to enforce any of its terms, or in
