You agree that each of the restraints contained herein is, in consideration for, and necessary for the protection of the goodwill, Confidential Information, Trade Secrets and other legitimate interests of the Company; that each and every one of these restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, to the extent they apply in the State in which your employment with the Company is based; and that these restraints, neither individually nor in the aggregate, will not prevent you from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which you are bound by such restraints. You further acknowledge that, if you breach any one or more of the covenants contained in [Section 5], the damage to the Company would be irreparable. You therefore agree that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, including, without limitation, the remedies set forth in [Sections 7 and 8]8], shall be entitled to injunctive relief against your breach or threaten breach of said covenants, to the extent they apply in the State in which your employment with the Company is based. You and the Company further agree that, in the event that any one or more of the provisions of [Section 5] shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of it being overly broad, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants contained in [sections 8]‑10 (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to the Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief pursuant to the California Arbitration Act, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement, and shall be entitled to seek to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without any requirement of proving actual damages or posting of any bond or other financial support, in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction, in addition to any other non-duplicative remedy to which the Parties may be entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

Injunctive Relief. The Company has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of your unique skills, talent, and experience. You acknowledge and agree that any violation of paragraphs 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall result in irreparable damage to the Company, and, accordingly, the Company may obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive any right to the posting of a bond in connection with any injunction or other equitable relief sought by the Company and you agree not to seek such relief in your opposition to any application for relief the Company shall make.

Injunctive Relief. I understand that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by me, the Company may suffer irreparable harm and monetary damages alone would not adequately compensate the Company. The Company will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement in addition to any other remedies which the Company may be entitled to at law or hereunder, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of the Company showing any actual damage or irreparable harm, proving the inadequacy of its legal remedies, or posting any bond or other security proving actual monetary damages. I agree that if there is a question as to the enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement, I will not engage in any conduct inconsistent with or contrary to this Agreement until after the question has been resolved by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, while the duration of my covenants described in [Sections 5, 6 and 7]7]7] above will be determined generally in accordance with the terms of those respective Sections, if I violate any of those covenants, I agree to extend it on the same terms and conditions for an additional period of time equal to the time that elapses from my violation to the later of # when the violation stops or # the final resolution of any litigation stemming from such violation. In addition, in the event of any such breach, or any attempted or threatened breach, Employee agrees that the Company shall be entitled to recovery of the legal costs incurred, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in any such action or suit. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Company from obtaining any other remedy or combination of remedies as the Company may elect to invoke. The failure of the Company to promptly institute legal action upon any breach of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that or any other breach of this Agreement. The venue for any Court suit will be a state or federal court sitting in Chicago, Illinois.

Irreparable Harm. You acknowledge that irreparable harm would result from any breach by you of [[sections 6, 7]7]]7], and/or 8 hereof, and that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate relief for any such breach. Accordingly, if you breach or threaten to breach this Letter Agreement, the Company may seek injunctive relief in favor of the Company without the necessity of the Company posting a bond. Moreover, any award of injunctive relief shall not preclude the Company from seeking or recovering any lawful compensatory damages which may have resulted from a breach of this Letter Agreement.

You agree that the Company would suffer irreparable harm if You were to breach, or threaten to breach, the restrictive covenants contained within this [Section 7] and that the Company would, by reason of such breach, or threatened breach, be entitled to injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, without the need to post a bond. The violation of any portion of this [Section 7] by You will entitle the Company to complete relief from such violation including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and damages, the forfeiture of Stock Options and a return of all proceeds received from the exercise and/or sale of Stock Options granted herein. The violation of [Section 7(e)] by the Company will entitle You to complete relief from such violation including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and damages.

The parties agree that any breach of Executive’s covenants in this Section would cause the Corporation irreparable harm, and that injunctive relief would be appropriate.

Injunctive relief. Without limiting the remedies available to the Company and its Affiliates, you acknowledge that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the Company and its Affiliates if you violate [Section 8(c), (d), or (e)])])], and agree that the Company and its Affiliates will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction upon the breach or threatened breach of any such terms or otherwise specifically to enforce such terms.

Injunctive Relief; Invalidity of Any Provision. Grantee acknowledges that # his or her services to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, # his or her position with the Company will place him or her in a position of confidence and trust with respect to the operations of the Company, # he or she will benefit from continued employment with the Company, # the nature and periods of restrictions imposed by the covenants contained in this [Section II] hereof are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the Company, # the Company would sustain immediate and irreparable loss and damage if Grantee were to breach any of such covenants, and # the Company’s remedy at law for such a breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Grantee agrees and consents that the Company, in addition to the recovery of damages and all other remedies available to it, at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek both preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent and/or halt a breach or threatened breach by Grantee of any covenant contained in [Section II] hereof. If any provision of this [Section II] is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid in whole or in part, it shall be deemed to have been amended, whether as to time, area covered or otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity under applicable law, and as so amended, shall be enforceable. The parties further agree to execute all documents necessary to evidence such amendment.
