18.5

The Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 18 of this Agreement are expressly for the benefit of the Employer, that the Employer would be irreparably

11

	injured by a violation of the provisions of this Section and that the Employer would have no adequate remedy at law in the event of such violation.
