Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive further agrees that for the purpose of any such injunction proceeding, it shall be presumed that the Company's legal remedies would be inadequate and that the Company would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the Executive's violation of the provisions of this Agreement. In any proceeding brought by the Company to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no other matter relating to the terms of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company will be defense thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions hereof.
