Definitions: For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means non-public business, technical, customer, pricing, financial, strategic and personnel information disclosed or made available to Employee during employment.

Remedies; Injunctive Relief

Employee acknowledges that breach of this Agreement may result in irreparable harm to Employer for which monetary damages may be insufficient. Employer shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctions, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, without limitation.

Severability; Limitation

If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, that provision shall be reformed to the maximum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force. The restrictions are intended to be of reasonable duration, scope and geographic extent; if any court finds them broader than necessary, a court may modify them.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

The parties agree that disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved in a forum selected in good faith by Employer and Employee. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit either party from seeking injunctive relief in a court with jurisdiction where relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm. The parties intend this Agreement to be governed by the law that the parties reasonably determine to apply to the employer's principal place of business.

At-Will Employment and Equal Opportunity

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter the at-will nature of Employee's employment if Employee's status is at-will. Either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate written agreement. Employer is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions without regard to protected characteristics.
