provisions of this Section 14, and (ii) has obtained legal counsel in
determining whether to enter into this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that
the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a

businesses that are not competitive with the Business and without otherwise
violating the restrictions set forth herein.

a. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 14
hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interest of the
Company. Executive also acknowledges that any breach by him or her of such
sections will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company for which
monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Executive agrees that he shall
not, in any action or proceeding Section 14 of this Agreement, assert the claim
or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of such breach by
Executive, the Company shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section
14 of this Agreement by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court and this
Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise
available to the Company with respect to such section.

mean the period of time from service of process upon Executive through the
expiration of all appeals related to such litigation.
