Section 9.3THE EXECUTIVE REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES THE EXECUTIVE POSSESSES AT THE TIME OF COMMENCEMENT OF EMPLOYMENT HEREUNDER ARE SUFFICIENT TO PERMIT THE EXECUTIVE, IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT HEREUNDER, TO EARN A LIVELIHOOD SATISFACTORY TO THE EXECUTIVE WITHOUT VIOLATING ANY PROVISION OF SECTION 8 OR 9 HEREOF, FOR EXAMPLE, BY USING SUCH KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES, OR SOME OF THEM, IN THE SERVICE OF A NON-COMPETITOR.

Section 9.4Non-Disparagement. The Executive shall not, during the term of the Executive’s employment or at any time thereafter, whether in writing or orally, malign, denigrate, or disparage the Company Group, or any current or former directors, officers, or employees of the Company Group, with respect to any of their respective past or present activities, or otherwise publish (whether in writing or orally) statements that tend to portray any of the aforementioned parties in an unfavorable light. The Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent the Executive from making truthful statements (a) in any legal proceeding or as otherwise required by law, or from reporting possible violations of US federal law or regulation or EU or domestic law to a governmental agency or entity; (b) when requested by a governmental, regulatory, or similar body or entity; (c) in confidence to a professional advisor for the purpose of securing professional advice; (d) in the course of performing Executive’s duties during the Executive’s term of employment (e.g., performance reviews); or (e) in response to statements, references or characterizations made, directly or indirectly, by the Company Group that are misleading, disparage the Executive, or reflect negatively on the Executive. The Company Group will instruct its executives and Board members not to disparage the Executive to the same extent the Executive is restricted in this Section 9.04.

Section 10.Remedies. It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any breach of the provisions of Section 8 or 9 of this Agreement, the Company Group shall have the right and remedy, without regard to any other available remedy, to (a) have the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, (b) seek to have issued an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach, and (c) seek any and all other remedies available to the Company Group under applicable law; it being understood that any breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9 could cause irreparable and material damages to the Company Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any loss of the proprietary advantage and trade secrets related to the identity of customers and suppliers), the amount of which cannot be readily determined and as to which the Company Group will not have any adequate remedy at law or in damages. The Executive agrees that any remedy at law for any breach by the Executive of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9 would be inadequate, and that the Company Group would be entitled to seek injunctive relief in such a case. If it is ever held that this restriction on the Executive is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the Company Group, the Executive agrees that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose such lesser restrictions that may be necessary or appropriate to properly protect the Company Group. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure in one or more instances of the Company Group to insist upon performance of any of the covenants or restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9, to exercise any right or privilege herein conferred, or the waiver by the Company Group of any breach of any of the covenants or restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9 shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver by the Company Group of any breach of any of the covenants or restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 or 9, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no forbearance or waiver had occurred.

Section 11.Severable Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable in whole or in part because of the duration or scope thereof, the Parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

Section 12.Notices. Any and all notices or other communication required or permitted to be given under any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) upon delivery if personally delivered, (b) three (3) days after deposit if sent by prepaid registered post, return receipt requested, (c) one (1) day after deposit if sent by a reputable overnight courier, or (d) upon
