of, or obligations of confidence and non-use respecting, the confidential parts.

separate and distinct and fully severable without affecting the enforceability of the those paragraphs.

such other party may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing provisions, in addition to any other legal remedies that may be available. You further acknowledge and agree that the enforcement of a

and are reasonable in scope and content. 

  

	 	(f)	The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the existence of any claim or cause of action by you

herein by reference. 

  

	20.	This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of Illinois, and it shall be construed, interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with
