The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply to any information or data which has been previously disclosed to the public or is otherwise in the public domain in each case other than as a result of the breach by Executive of his obligations under this Section 8.

     10. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.

     11. Successors; Non-Assignability. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, as applicable. If the Company shall merge or consolidate with or into, or transfer substantially all of its assets, to another corporation or other form of business organization, this Agreement shall be binding on, and run to the benefit of, the successor of the Company resulting from such merger, consolidation, or transfer. If the Company shall transfer the management and operations of the Company, including the responsibility to provide a Chief Executive Officer for the Company, to an external management company, this Agreement shall be binding on, and run to the benefit of, such external management company. The rights and obligations of Executive under this Agreement are personal to Executive and may not be assigned or delegated to any other Person; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from designating any of his beneficiaries to receive any benefits payable hereunder upon his death, or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives from assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto.
