(b) Any breach or threatened breach of any of the Promises would cause irreparable injury to Cigna, and monetary damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy; and
(c) The remedies described in paragraph 10(a) are in addition to any other rights and remedies Cigna may have at law or in equity.
11. Consequences of a Violation: Designation of Cigna as Agent and Attorney-in-Fact for Inventions
