  4. Right to Injunction.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the video related content services to be rendered by the Creator under this Agreement and the rights and privileges granted to the Company under the Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, and extraordinary character which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in any action at law, and the breach by the Creator of any of the provisions of this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage.  The Creator expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Creator.  Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies that the Company may have for damages or otherwise.  The various rights and remedies of the Company under this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.
  5. Termination.  The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing ten (10) business days’ written notice, (including fax, U.S. mail or PDF e-mail) to the Creator.  In addition, if the Contractor fails or refuses to comply with the reasonable requirements  of the Company as properly communicated to the Creator in writing, or materially breaches any provision of this Agreement, the Company at any time may terminate the engagement of the Creator immediately and without prior written notice to the Creator.
  6. Independent Contractor.  This Agreement shall not render the Creator an employee, partner, agent of, or joint venture partner with the Company for any purpose.  The Creator is and will remain an independent contractor in [his or her] relationship to the Company.  The Company shall not be responsible for withholding and other related taxes with respect to the Creator’s compensation hereunder, except as required by the laws of the United States.  The Creator shall have no claim against the Company hereunder or otherwise for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, worker’s compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, or employee benefits of any kind.
