The Executive further covenants and agrees that in the event of a violation of any of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.1 hereof, (i) the ARH Group shall be entitled to receive all such amounts to which the ARH Group would be entitled as damages under law or at equity and (ii) upon the ARH Group obtaining a judgment or an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction, the obligations of the ARH Group to make any further payments to Executive pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be suspended until Executive shall cease violating or breaching his respective covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.1 hereof and the ARH Group shall have received reasonable assurances from Executive that he will no longer engage in the same at which time the previously suspended payments shall be made to Executive. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the ARH Group from pursuing any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to it for any such breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The prevailing party in any action relating to a violation or alleged violation of any on the of the respective covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.1 hereof shall be entitled to receive for the other party, and such other party shall pay to the prevailing party, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated with such action.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction by reason of the geographic or business scope or the duration thereof of any such covenant, or for any other reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to the particular aspect of such provision found invalid or unenforceable as applied and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision. This Agreement shall be construed as if the geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision or other basis on which such provisions has been challenged had been more narrowly drafted so as not to be invalid or unenforceable. The provisions under Article 8 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.2. Absence of Conflicting Agreements and Obligations. The Executive represents and warrants that he is not a party to or bound by any other agreement or understanding of any type, whether written or oral, or by any statutory or common law duty or obligation which, in any case, would in any way restrict his ability to be employed by the Company, or his ability to compete freely with any other Person.

9.3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable and to the extent that to do so would not deprive one of the parties of the substantial benefit of its bargain. Such provision shall, to the extent allowable by law and the preceding sentence, be modified by such arbitrator or court so that it becomes enforceable and, as modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions continuing in full force and effect.

The failure by either party at any time to require performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or agreements shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. No waiver of any kind shall be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

9.5. Assignment. This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to the Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by the Executive at any time.

(ii) The amount of any Taxable Reimbursements, and the value of any in-kind benefits to be provided to the Executive, during any taxable year of the Executive shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year of the Executive (except for any life-term or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses).

(iii) The right to Taxable Reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Company and the Executive are parties to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code.
