date hereof.

expense, defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at
any time claiming any interest therein junior to the Secured Party's interest;
(b) will provide the Secured Party with prompt written notice of (i) any change
in the chief executive officer of the Debtor or the office where the Debtor
maintains its books and records pertaining to the Collateral; (ii) the movement
or location of all or a material part of the Collateral to or at any address
other than as set forth in said Exhibit B; and (iii) any facts which constitute
a Debtor Event of Default (as such term is defined below), or which, with the

Event of Default, pursuant to the Section titled "Debtor Events of Default"
below; (c) will promptly pay any and all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges upon the Collateral prior to the date penalties are attached thereto,
except to the extent that such taxes, assessments and charges shall be contested
in good faith by the Debtor; (d) will immediately notify the Secured Party of
any event causing a substantial loss or diminution in the value of all or any
material part of the Collateral and the amount or an estimate of the amount of
such loss or diminution; (e) will have and maintain adequate insurance at all
times with respect to the Collateral, for such other risks as are customary in
the Debtor's industry for the respective items included in the Collateral, such
insurance to be payable to the Secured Party and the Debtor as their respective
interests may appear, and shall provide for a minimum of ten (10) days prior
written notice of cancellation to the Secured Party, and Debtor shall furnish
the Secured Party with certificates or other evidence satisfactory to the
Secured Party of compliance with the foregoing insurance provisions; (f) will
not sell or offer to sell or otherwise assign, transfer or dispose of the
Collateral or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party, except in the ordinary course of business; (g) will keep the
Collateral free from any adverse lien, security interest or encumbrance (except
for encumbrances specified in Exhibit A attached hereto) and in good order and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will not waste or destroy the
Collateral or any part thereof; and (h) will not use the Collateral in material
violation of any statute or ordinance the violation of which could materially
and adversely affect the Debtor's business.

        SECTION 5. RECORDS RELATING TO COLLATERAL. The Debtor will keep its
records concerning the Collateral at its offices designated in the caption of
this Security Interest Agreement or at such other place or places of business of
which the Secured Party shall have been notified in writing no less than ten
(10) days prior thereto. The Debtor will hold and preserve such records and
chattel paper and will permit representatives of the Secured Party at any time
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine and inspect the

<PAGE>

Collateral and to make abstracts from such records and chattel paper, and will
furnish to the Secured Party such information and reports regarding the
Collateral as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request.

        SECTION 6. GENERAL AUTHORITY. From and during the term of any Debtor
Event of Default, the Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party the Debtor's
lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Debtor, for
the sole use and benefit of the Secured Party, but at the Debtor's expense, to
exercise, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the
Collateral:

        (a)     to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for
any and all monies due or to become due;

        (b)     to receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver all checks, notes,
drafts, documents and other negotiable and non- negotiable instruments and
chattel paper taken or received by the Secured Party;

        (c)     to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding with respect thereto;

        (d)     to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same
or the proceeds thereof or the related goods securing the Collateral, as fully
and effectually as if the Secured Party were the sole and absolute owner
thereof;

        (e)     to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make
any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto; and

        (f)     to discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time placed thereon;

provided that the Secured Party shall give the Debtor not less than ten (10)
business days prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other
intended disposition of any of the Collateral.

        The exercise by the Secured Party of or failure to so exercise any
authority granted herein shall in no manner affect Debtor's liability to the
Secured Party, and provided, further, that the Secured Party shall be under no
obligation or duty to exercise any of the powers hereby conferred upon them and
they shall be without liability for any act or failure to act in connection with
the collection of, or the preservation of, any rights under any of the
Collateral.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 7. DEBTOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

        (a)     The Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) by the
Debtor (a "Debtor Event of Default").

        (b)     The Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that, upon the occurrence
of a Debtor Event of Default, the Debtor shall be deemed to have consented to an
immediate conveyance and transfer to the Secured Party of the copyrights and all
other rights the Debtor may have in the software included in the Collateral,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the software identified in Schedule B
attached hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof,
the Debtor will, upon the occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, deliver to
the Secured Party copies of the source code of the relevant software, with
accompanying written assignment of the software to the Secured Party. Without
limiting the foregoing, such source code and assignment shall be in form
sufficient to enable the Secured Party to register the software in Secured
Party's name with the Copyright Register. The Debtor hereby agrees to take all
steps necessary or appropriate, as requested by the Secured Party, to effectuate
and reflect such conveyance and transfer or assignment to Secured Party. In all
events, such conveyance, transfer or assignment shall be deemed to vest title in
such software in the Secured Party.

        (c)     In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof,
the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Party may, upon the
occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, seek the immediate entry of a
preliminary injunction prohibiting the Debtor's use of such software in any
shape, way or manner, including, but not necessarily limited to, through the
sale of products that use any of such software, and the Debtor hereby
irrevocably agrees that it will not contest an application seeking entry of a
preliminary injunction and that it will accept the entry of such injunction.

        SECTION 8. REMEDIES UPON DEBTOR EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Debtor Event of
Default shall have occurred, then in addition to the provisions of Section 7
hereof, the Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Secured Party may require the
Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to
the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party which is
reasonably convenient. The Secured Party shall give the Debtor ten (10) business
days prior written notice of the Secured Party's intention to make any public or
private sale or sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange of the
Collateral. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an
entirety or in separate parcels, as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion,
may determine. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any such sale
pursuant to any such notice. The Secured Party may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be
adjourned. The Secured Party, instead of exercising the power of sale herein
conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose the Security Interests and sell

<PAGE>

the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.

        SECTION 9. APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied in the following order of priorities: (a) first, to pay the reasonable
expenses of such sale or other realization, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, and all expenses, liabilities and advances
reasonably incurred or made by the Secured Party in connection therewith, and
any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Secured Party is to be reimbursed
pursuant to the Section titled "Expenses; Secured Party's Lien" below; (b)
second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order of priority as the
Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine; and (c) finally, to pay
to the Debtor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

        SECTION 10. EXPENSES; SECURED PARTY'S LIEN. If any Debtor Event of
Default shall have occurred, the Debtor will forthwith upon demand pay to the
Secured Party: (a) the amount which the Secured Party may have been required to
pay to free any of the Collateral from any lien thereon; and (b) the amount of
any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, and of any agents not
regularly in its employ, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with
the collection, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral.

        SECTION 11. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS; RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.
Upon the payment, performance or other satisfaction in full of all the
Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to the Debtor. Upon any such termination of the Security
Interests or release of Collateral, the Secured Party will, at the Debtor's
expense, to the extent permitted by law, execute and deliver to the Debtor such
documents as the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of
the Security Interests or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
The Debtor further covenants and agrees that it will not grant any other
security interest or other lien or rights in the Collateral (however
denominated) as long as any of the Obligations remains outstanding.

        SECTION 12. NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, consents,
approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (a) personally served,
(b) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, (c) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges
prepaid, or (d) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed
as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified
most recently by written notice given in accordance herewith. Any notice or
other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed
effective (i) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate
confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, at the address or
number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business
hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following
such delivery (if delivered other

<PAGE>

than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be
received) or (ii) on the second business day following the date of mailing by
express courier service or on the fifth business day after deposited in the
mail, in each case, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual
receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur. The addresses for such
communications shall be for (i) the Debtor as provided in the Bridge Loan
Agreement for notices to the Company, (ii) for each Secured Party as provided in
the Bridge Loan Agreement for notices to the Buyer and (iii) for the Agent as
provided in the Bridge Loan Agreement for notices to the Escrow Agent. Any party
hereto may from time to time change its address or facsimile number for notices
under this Section in the manner contemplated by the Bridge Loan Agreement.

        SECTION 13. AGENT.

        (a)     Anything in the other provisions of this Security Interest
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Secured Party may designate
another entity to act as agent (the "Agent") for the Secured Party with respect
to any one or more of the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including, but not
necessarily limited to, the right to hold the security interest and/or be named
as secured party (as agent for the Secured Party) in any filed financing
statement and to take action in the name and stead of the Secured Party
hereunder. Such designation may be made with or without power of substitution,
Such designation shall remain in effect until canceled by the Secured Party, as
provided herein; provided, however, that such cancellation shall not affect the
validity of any action theretofore taken by such agent pursuant to this Security
Interest Agreement. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees to honor such designation
and acknowledges that the Agent is acting as the agent of the Secured Party and
not as a principal.

        (b)     Each Secured Party hereby confirms that the Secured Party has
designated Krieger & Prager, LLP (acting by Samuel M. Krieger or Ronald
Nussbaum, or either one of them), as its initial Agent, with full right of
substitution.

        (c)     If there is more than one Secured Party, the Agent shall act as
agent for all Secured Parties. Any revocation of the authority of the Agent or
the designation of an alternate Agent shall be done only by Secured Parties who
represent a Majority in Interest of the Holders at that time; provided that at
all times all Secured Parties shall be represented by one and the same Agent.

        (d)     Reference is made to the provisions of Sections 2 through 15,
inclusive, of the Joint Escrow Instructions. All such provisions are
incorporated herein by reference, as if set forth herein in full, except that,
for such purposes, the references therein to (i) the "Escrow Agent" shall be
deemed to be references to the "Agent" under this Security Interest Agreement,
(ii) the "Company" shall be deemed to be references to the Debtor under this
Security Interest Agreement, and (iii) the "Buyer" shall be deemed to be
references to the relevant Secured Party under this Security Interest Agreement.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

        (a)     No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any
right, power or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement preclude the
exercise, in whole or in part, of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies
in this Security Interest Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
other remedies provided by law. Neither this Security Interest Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but
only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

        (b)     The execution and delivery by Debtor of this Security Interest
Agreement and all documents delivered in connection herewith have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Debtor and this
Agreement and all documents delivered in connection herewith have been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Debtor. The execution and delivery by Debtor
of this Security Interest Agreement and all documents delivered in connection
herewith will not result in a breach or default of or under the Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws or any agreement, contract or indenture of Debtor. This
Security Interest Agreement and all documents delivered in connection therewith
are legal, valid and binding obligations of Debtor enforceable against Debtor in
accordance with their terms.

        (c)     In the event that any action is taken by Debtor or Secured Party
in connection with the this Security Interest Agreement, or any related document
or matter, the losing party in such legal action, in addition to such other
damages as he or it may be required to pay, shall pay reasonable attorneys' fees
to the prevailing party.

        SECTION 15. SEPARABILITY. If any provision hereof shall prove invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction whose laws shall be deemed applicable, the
other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such
jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Secured Party.

        SECTION 16. GOVERNING LAW.

        (a)     This Security Interest Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for contracts to
be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles
thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part
of the County of New York or (except with respect to issues relating to the
copyright in and to the software, as contemplated by Section 7 hereof, which
shall exclusively be in the aforesaid federal courts) or of the state courts of
the State of New York sitting in the County of New York in connection with any
dispute arising under this Security Interest Agreement and hereby waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection

<PAGE>

based on FORUM NON COVENIENS, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding
is improper. To the extent determined by such court, the Debtor shall reimburse
the Secured Party for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by
the Secured Party in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under
this Security Interest Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

        (b)     The Debtor and the Secured Party acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Security Interest 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 an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of
the provisions of this Security Interest Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.

        SECTION 16. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Debtor and the Secured Party hereby
waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by
either of the parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising
out of or in connection with the Note or this Security Interest Agreement.

        SECTION 17. ASSIGNMENT. Only in connection with the transfer of all of
the rights under the Transaction Agreements in accordance with their terms, a

rights and powers of the assigning Secured Party hereunder with respect to the
Collateral.

<PAGE>

        SECTION 18. WAIVER. The Debtor waives any right that it may have to
require Secured Party to proceed against any other person, or proceed against or
exhaust any other security, or pursue any other remedy Secured Party may have.

The Company may grant a security interest in the Collateral, provided that
(except with respect to a security interest in the Collateral granted pursuant

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 SEVERANCE AND RELEASE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Agreement is between Kenneth R. Posner (for himself and anyone acting for him) (the “Employee”) and
Rewards Network Inc. (for itself or any of its wholly or partially owned subsidiaries, or its or their present and past officers, directors, supervisors, employees and anyone else acting for it or them) (the “Employer”). 

 
 WHEREAS, the Employer previously employed the Employee as a Senior Vice
President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer; 
  
 WHEREAS, the employment relationship between the Employer and the Employee has been terminated; 
  
 WHEREAS, that certain offer of employment letter agreement dated May 14, 2003 between Employer and Employee requires Employee to execute a General
Release and a Non-Compete Agreement as a condition precedent to receiving any severance payments or benefits; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Employer and Employee wish to enter into this Severance and Release Agreement (“Agreement”). 
  
 THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Termination. Effective as of the close of business on
December 1, 2005 (“Termination Date”), the Employee’s employment with the Employer ended. 
  
 2. Accrued Benefits. The Employee will be entitled to any accrued benefits as of the Termination Date in the same manner as any other employee
whose employment with the Employer has terminated, all in accordance with the terms of the Employer’s applicable benefit plans. 

 3. Expense Reports. The Employer will reimburse the Employee for reasonable expenses incurred
through the Termination Date provided the Employee submits appropriate expense reports detailing the expenses within 30 days of the Termination Date. 
  
 4. Return of Employer Property. The Employee acknowledges and warrants that he has returned to the Employer all Employer property in the
Employee’s possession, custody or control, whether at the office or off premises, including, but not limited to, confidential information of the Employer, computer equipment, Blackberry, card key and software. To the extent that the Employee
has not returned such Employer property, he will do so promptly. 
  
 5. Severance Arrangements. The Employer will pay the Employee $293,164.04 (equal to twelve months base salary) and $95,767.78 (representing the pro rated portion of the annual bonus the Executive received during the last fiscal year
of his employment with the Employer) all over the twelve month period following the Termination Date on an equal basis in accordance with the Employer’s normal bi-weekly salary schedule in the form of a salary continuation (less applicable
deductions). The Employer will pay Employee COBRA reimbursement for the twelve month period following January 1, 2006. 
  
 6. Protection of Proprietary Interests and Non-Competition. 
  
 (a) The Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, the Employee will not, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of the Employee or any other person, company or entity, solicit or participate in soliciting, products or services competitive with or similar to products or services offered by, manufactured by, designed by or distributed by
Rewards Network to any person, company or entity which was a Rewards Network customer, merchant, member or partner for such products or services and with which the Employee had contact regarding those products or services at any time during the last
12 months of the Employee’s employment with Rewards Network. 

 (b) The Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, the Employee will not
directly or indirectly, in any capacity, provide products or services competitive with or similar to products or services offered by Rewards Network to any person, company or entity which was a Rewards Network customer, merchant, member or partner
for such products or services and with which the Employee had contact regarding those products or services at any time during the last 12 months of the Employee’s employment with Rewards Network. 
  
 (c) The Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Termination
Date, the Employee will not in any capacity sell, manage, supervise or offer products or services competitive with or similar to the merchant marketing, restaurant financing or merchant rewards business of Rewards Network in any territory in which
the Employee worked while employed by Rewards Network during the last 12 months of the Employee’s employment with Rewards Network. 
  
 (d) The Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly hire, solicit, attempt to
persuade or communicate with any employee of Rewards Network, or any person who was an employee of Rewards Network within the two months preceding contact between the Employee and that person, to leave the employ of Rewards Network or otherwise
interfere with the performance of their duties for Rewards Network. 
  
 (e) The Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months after the Termination Date, the Employee will not directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Employee or any other person, company or entity, participate in the development of any
products or services similar to or competitive with products or services of Rewards Network with which the Employee had product or service research or development responsibilities during the last 12 months of the Employee’s employment with
Rewards Network. 

 7. Future Cooperation. For a period of twelve months after the Termination Date, the Employee will
cooperate with, and assist the Employer in any audits, investigations, proceedings or actions relating to any matters in which he was involved or had knowledge while employed by the Employer, subject to reimbursement for approved expenses. Nothing
in this paragraph 7 will require Employee to cooperate for more than twenty days during the twelve month period or more than four days in any calendar month. 
  
 8. No Disruption. The Employee will not disrupt, interfere with, or disturb the Employer’s business. The Employer will not disrupt, interfere
with or disturb the Employee’s future employment. 
  
 9.
Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Employee will not, without the Employer’s prior permission or as otherwise required by law, directly or indirectly disclose to anyone outside of the Employer any trade secrets or other
confidential information of the Employer, or any information received in confidence from third parties by the Employer or about third parties by the Employer, as long as such matters remain trade secrets or confidential. Trade secrets and other
confidential information shall include any information or material which has not been made available generally to the public and which (a) is generated or collected by or utilized in the operations of the Employer and relates to the actual or
anticipated business or research or development of the Employer; or (b) is suggested by or results from any task assigned to the Employee by the Employer or work performed by the Employee for or on behalf of the Employer. 
  
 10. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties
agree that the terms of this Agreement are strictly confidential and must not be disclosed in any manner to any person. The only exceptions to this prohibition on disclosure are the Employee’s spouse, the parties’ attorneys, financial
and/or tax advisors, and the Employer’s employees necessary to comply with the Employer’s obligations under this Agreement, all of whom are similarly bound by this confidentiality provision. 

 11. Non-Admission. The parties agree that the Employer’s offer of this Severance Agreement
and Release and/or the payment of severance under this Agreement are not an admission of any kind that the Employee has any viable claims against the Employer or that the Employer admits to any liability whatsoever. 
  
 12. Release. The Employee releases the Employer with respect to any
and all known and unknown claims of any type to date arising out of any aspect of their employment relationship or the termination of their employment relationship. This includes, but is not limited to, breach of any implied or express employment
contracts, covenants or duties; entitlement to any pay or benefits, including insurance benefits or attorney fees; claims for wrongful termination, violation of public policy, defamation, emotional distress, invasion of privacy, loss of consortium,
negligence, other federal, state, local or common law matters or any act or omission; or claims of discrimination based on age (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) (“ADEA”), ancestry, color, concerted activity, disability,
entitlement to benefits, marital status, national origin, parental status, race, religion, retaliation, sex, sexual harassment, sexual orientation, source of income, union activity, veteran’s status or other protected status. The Employee also
acknowledges that he has not suffered any on-the-job injury for which he has not already filed a claim. 
  
 13. Covenant Not To Sue. The Employee agrees, except for those matters described in paragraph 14 hereof, not to sue the Employer for any claims
covered by the release in this Agreement. This agreement not to sue does not apply to an ADEA claim to the extent such an exception is required by law. If the Employee sues in violation of this Agreement, the Employee agrees (a) to pay all
costs and expenses incurred by the Employer in defending against a suit or enforcing this Agreement, including court costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees, or (b) to 

 be obligated upon written demand to repay to the Employer, as liquidated damages, all of the payments paid to the
Employee pursuant to this Agreement except One Hundred Dollars, and (c) in addition to either (a) or (b) that the Employer shall not be obligated to continue payment to the Employee of any remaining payments under this Agreement.

  
 14. Exclusions from Release. Excluded from the release
and the agreement not to sue are any breaches of this Agreement, any claims which cannot be waived by law, and the filing of a discrimination charge with a government agency. But the Employee agrees to waive any right to any monetary recovery
should any government agency pursue any claims on the Employee’s behalf. 
  
 15. Modification. This Agreement may only be modified in a writing signed by both parties. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal or invalid by a final non-appealable ruling of a court of
competent jurisdiction, it will be deemed severed from this Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement will remain in effect and will be enforceable within the bounds of applicable law. If any restriction or limitation in this Agreement is found
to be unreasonable, onerous or unduly restrictive, it will not be stricken in its entirety, but will remain effective to the maximum extent permissible. 
  
 16. Waiver of Breach. Should the Employee breach any provision of this Agreement, and should the Employer decide not to enforce its rights against
the Employee, that decision will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Employee. No such waiver will be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of the Employer. Should the Employer breach any provision of
this Agreement, and should Employee decide not to enforce its rights against Employer, that decision will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by Employer. No such waiver will be valid unless in writing and signed by the
Employee. 

 17. Attorney Fees. In the event the Employer shall successfully enforce any part of this Agreement
through legal proceedings, the Employee agrees to pay the Employer all costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the Employer in connection therewith. 
  
 18. Complete Agreement. This Agreement resolves all matters between the Employee and the Employer and supersedes any
other written or oral agreement between them. 
  
 19.
Voluntariness. The Employee is signing this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily, has not been coerced or threatened into signing this Agreement and has not been promised anything else in exchange for signing this Agreement. 
  
 20. Attorney Consultation. By this Agreement, the Employee has been
advised to consult with an attorney of the Employee’s choice at the Employee’s own expense before signing below. 
  
 21. Time Periods. The Employee has been given at least twenty one days to consider this Agreement. After the Employee signs this Agreement, the
Employee has seven days to revoke it by giving the Employer written notice of revocation. Employer is obligated to provide the Employee with the severance payments and other benefits provided in this Agreement only after the seven-day revocation
period described in the immediately preceding sentence has expired without Employee revoking this Agreement. 
  
 22. Jurisdiction, Choice of Law, Injunctive Relief, and Attorney Fees. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Illinois and the
application of Illinois law with respect to any matter or thing arising out of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement by the Employee, the Employee acknowledges that the Employer will face irreparable
injury which may be difficult to calculate in dollar terms and that the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions and final injunctions
enjoining such breach or threatened breach. 

 23. Successors and Assigns. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that they are satisfied with
the terms of this Agreement and agree that this Agreement shall be binding upon them and their attorneys, heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. 
  
 24. Authority. The parties represent and warrant that each has the authority to enter into this Agreement and bind all persons and entities
claiming through each of them. Employee and Employer further acknowledge that they have carefully read and fully understand all of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 25. Notice. All notices and communications shall be communicated to the other party in writing and shall be delivered
or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and with return receipt requested. Hand-delivered notices shall be deemed communicated when received. Mailed notices shall be deemed communicated as of three (3) business days after
