3.                  Equitable Remedies. As an material inducement to enter into this Agreement, the Note Holder expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Note Holder of any of the provisions of this Agreement, it is agreed that, in addition to any remedy at law, the Company shall be entitled, without posting any bond, to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.
