In the event Consultant breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, which shall be independent of any others and severally enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity:

(a) the right and remedy to enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, Consultant from violating or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and

(b) the right and remedy to require Consultant to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Consultant as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

7.3 Severability of Restrictive Covenants. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in time and scope and in all other respects. The covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, unenforceable or void in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, unenforceability or voidness, shall not render invalid, unenforceable, or void any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and Consultant in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

The failure by Consultant or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason, Poor Performance or Cause shall not waive any right of Consultant or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude Consultant or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Consultant’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

8.3 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if Consultant’s engagement is terminated by the Consultant for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which may not be less than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Notice of Termination; provided that the Company may specify any earlier Date of Termination, (ii) if Consultant’s engagement is terminated by the Company other than by reason of death or Disability, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination, or any later date specified therein, or (iii) if Consultant’s engagement is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination will be the date of death or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.
