  b.   You acknowledge and agree that Bowne’s remedies for a breach or
threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 5 or Section 6 of this
agreement would be inadequate and Bowne would suffer irreparable damages as a
result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, you
agree that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to
any remedies at law, Bowne, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to
obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance.

You have been an integral part of Bowne for more than 30 years. We appreciate
your willingness to consult and share your expertise.
Sincerely,
