Executive understands that Company would not agree to the payment of the severance benefits under this Article 4 without Executive’s agreement to the provisions of Sections 4.9 and 4.10 hereof. Executive hereby agrees that the provisions contained in this Article 4 relating to the repayment by Executive to Company of severance payments and benefits in the event of Executive’s breach of any such provisions, are reasonable, and Executive expressly confirms his repayment obligations under such circumstances. Executive understands, however, that such repayment would not represent adequate damages to Company or its affiliates in the event of a breach by Executive of the obligations provided for under Section 4.9 or Section 4.10 hereof, and that, upon any such breach, Company and/or its affiliates will suffer immediate and irreparable harm, and that monetary damages alone will be inadequate to compensate the Company or its affiliates for any such breach. Accordingly, Executive agrees that Company and/or its affiliates shall, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance to enforce the terms of Sections 4.9 and 4.10 without the necessity of proving inadequacy of legal remedies or irreparable harm or posting bond.

ARTICLE 5: MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Attorneys’ Fees, Indemnity an D&O Insurance.

(a) If Executive shall prevail with respect to any substantive issue in litigation brought to enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, the Company shall reimburse Executive for his reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Executive in such litigation.

(b) Company shall fully indemnify and hold Executive harmless from all actual and threatened claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an employee of the Company, or any subsidiary of Company or is or was serving at the request of Company, as a director, Officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (“Proceeding”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, however, Company’s obligation and duty to fully indemnify and hold Executive harmless shall cease upon, and with respect to, any reasonable determination by Company that Executive has engaged in any intentional wrongdoing or tortious conduct.

(c) Company shall provide Executive with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance at least as favorable as the insurance coverage provided to other senior executive officers and directors of Company respecting liabilities, costs, charges and expenses of any type whatsoever incurred or sustained by Executive, (or Executive’s legal representative or other successors) in connection with a Proceeding.
