Client recognizes, understands and agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate NPA for any breach by Client of the covenants set forth herein.

Even the threat of any misuse of the confidential or proprietary information of NPA and its users would be extremely harmful since such information is essential to the business of NPA. In light of these facts, Client agrees that any court of competent jurisdiction should immediately enjoin any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement upon the request of NPA, and Client specifically waives any right or defense or NPA otherwise being subject to any requirement of a showing of irreparable harm or posting any bond in connection with temporary or interlocutory injunctive relief, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
