The proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to the then-existing National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that any and all disputes arising out of, relating to or in connection with Section 2 of this Agreement (Non-Competition) shall be finally settled in accordance with Section 4 of the Non-Competition Agreement, and that any disputes arising out of, relating to or in connection with Section 2 of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement shall be consolidated and finally settled in accordance with Section 4 of the Non-Competition Agreement.

Accordingly, you agree that Accenture will be entitled to injunctive relief for any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies it may have.
