You agree that your obligations under this Agreement shall continue in effect after the Examination and, if applicable, after termination of your Certification, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary.

Violation of any of these provisions will cause irreparable harm to ISC2 for which monetary remedies may be inadequate and that ISC2 may take all appropriate actions to remedy or prevent such disclosure or misuse, including, without limitation, obtaining an immediate injunction without being required to post bond. Furthermore, any violation of these provisions may result in the immediate and permanent termination of your Certification at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer. Neither this Agreement nor any right granted hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by you. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts. This Agreement is supplemental to, and integrated with, the ISC2, Inc.
