MISCELLANEOUS

You represent that you have read and understand this Appendix A and it does not prevent you from earning a living or pursuing your career. You agree that the restrictions contained in this Appendix A are reasonable, proper and necessitated by the Company Group’s legitimate business interests. You are entering into this Appendix A freely and with knowledge of its content and with the intent to be bound by this Appendix A and the restrictions contained in it.

You agree that any breach of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable harm to the Company Group and that damages arising from a breach may be difficult to determine. You therefore agree and acknowledge that, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or in equity, the Company Group will be entitled to specific performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any breaches by you or others acting in concert with you, without the necessity of the Company Group proving actual damages or posting a bond. If the Company Group prevails in any action hereunder, in whole or in part, you will also be liable for the Company Group’s attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such action and any related proceedings.

If any of the restrictions which are expressed in this Appendix A to apply during a particular period shall be held to be void, but would be valid if part of their wording were deleted, such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid or effective.

All claims arising hereunder, or relating hereto, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules. You and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Appendix A and further agreement that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in such courts.

This Appendix A and all schedules and exhibits hereto, together with the offer letter of which this Appendix A forms a part, embody the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the matters within its scope and supersedes all other prior agreements (including, without limitation, any offer letters, term sheets and correspondence relating thereto), whether written or oral, that directly or indirectly bear upon the subject matter hereof. This Appendix A may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in part), except by written agreement executed by both of the parties hereto.

If any provision of this Appendix A or any schedule hereto is found to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the void or unenforceable provision shall be severed. If a provision of this Appendix A or any schedule hereto is found to be too broad, then that provision shall be limited and enforced in its limited form to the maximum extent possible under applicable law.

The Company may, in whole or in part, release, compound, compromise, waive or postpone, in its absolute discretion, any liability owed to it or right granted to it in this Appendix A by you without in any way prejudicing or affecting its rights in respect of any part of that liability or any other liability or right not so released, compounded, compromised, waived or postponed. No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by the Company shall constitute a waiver by it of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of, that or any right, power or remedy arising under this Appendix A or otherwise.
