In addition, I agree and acknowledge that the Company will suffer costly and irreparable harm, loss and damage if this Agreement is violated and any assessment of damages would not adequately compensate the Company for said harm, loss and damage. I authorize the Company to disclose this Agreement to my future or prospective employers along with notification of the Company’s intent to exercise all rights it has to seek enforcement of its terms. I further agree to provide a copy of this Agreement to any prospective employer prior to accepting any offer of employment during the twelve month period immediately following my termination of employment by Company.

Just as I may terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause, the Company may also terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause.
