Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations under Articles V and VI are reasonable, necessary and fundamental to the protection of the Corporation's business interests, and the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach of these Articles by the Executive would result in irreparable harm to the Corporation and loss and damage to the Corporation for which the Corporation could not be adequately compensated by an award of monetary damages. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that, in the event the Executive violates any of the restrictions referred to in Articles V and VI, the Corporation shall suffer irreparable harm and shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and any other remedies in law or in equity which the court deems fit.

Enforcement. If the Indemnified Party is required to bring a claim against the Indemnifying Party to enforce the Indemnified Party’s rights under this Article 21, and the Indemnified Party prevails in such claim, then the Indemnifying Party will indemnify and reimburse the Indemnified Party for and from any costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Article 21.

Enforcement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement is necessary to protect the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, business and goodwill of the Company and/or its Affiliates, and that any breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company and/or its Affiliates, for which money damages may not provide adequate relief. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach of this Agreement by Employee, the parties agree that the Company and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctions, both preliminary and permanent, enjoining or restraining such breach or anticipatory breach, and Employee hereby consents to the issuance thereof forthwith and without bond by any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach of this Agreement by Employee, any grant of temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, against Employee, or Employee’s claim in a declaratory judgment action that all or part of this Agreement is unenforceable, the parties agree that the Company and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to recovery of all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company and/or its Affiliates in defending or seeking to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies otherwise available to it at law or equity.

Enforcement. In signing this Agreement, I give the Company assurance that I have carefully read and considered all of the restraints imposed on me hereunder, that I have not relied on any agreements or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement, and that I have signed this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily. I agree without reservation that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company, and are reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. I further agree that, were I to breach any of the covenants contained herein, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. I therefore agree that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction against any breach or threatened breach by me of any such covenants, without having to post bond, together with an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder. So that the Company may enjoy the full benefit of the covenants contained in Sections 8.C and 8.D above, I further agree that the Non-Solicit Period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during the period of any breach by me of such covenants. I also agree that if I violate any fiduciary duty to the Company or unlawfully take any Company Confidential Information or other property belonging to the Company, the Post-Termination Non-Competition Period in Section 8.B will extend by the time during which I engage in such violation(s), for up to a total of two (2) years following the termination of my employment. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Finally, no claimed breach of this Agreement or other violation of law attributed to the Company, or change in the nature or scope of my employment or other relationship with the Company, shall operate to excuse me from the performance of my obligations under this Agreement.

Enforcement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as divisible and separable and if any provision should be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. If the scope of any restriction or requirement contained in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction or requirement to its full extent, then such restriction or requirement shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Executive hereby consents that any court of competent jurisdiction may so modify such scope in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction or requirement.

Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

Enforcement. The parties hereby agree that if the scope or enforceability of any of the covenants contained in these Terms and Conditions is in dispute, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant in the form necessary to provide the Company with the maximum protection afforded by applicable law.

Enforcement. If the Executive commits a material breach of any of the provisions of the Proprietary Matters Agreement referred to in [Section 5.1], the Executive shall forfeit all rights to receive any amounts of any nature whatsoever from the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, and the Company will be entitled to the remedies provided under the Proprietary Matters Agreement and any other rights and remedies the Company may have pursuant to applicable laws.

Enforcement. The Corporation and the Executive hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located within Cook County, Illinois for resolution of any and all claims, causes of action or disputes arising out of, related to or concerning this Agreement and agree that services by registered mail to the addresses set forth below shall constitute sufficient service of process for any such action. The parties further agree that venue for all disputes between them, including those related to this Agreement, shall be with a state or federal court located within Cook County, Illinois. If the Corporation is required to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Corporation will be entitled to recover from the Executive its reasonable attorneys’ fees plus costs and expenses as to any issues on which it prevails.
