Severability.

No bond need be posted in conjunction with the application for, or issuance of, an injunction (which requirement is hereby specifically and expressly waived by the Executive). The period of time applicable to any covenant in this article 5 will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of such covenant.

5.9

Survival. The restrictive covenants contained in this article 5 will survive the termination of the Executive’s employment and termination of this Agreement.
