THE CAMPBELL GLOBAL TREND FUND, L.P. — GLOBAL TREND SERIES (USD)

THE CAMPBELL GLOBAL TREND FUND, L.P. — GLOBAL TREND SERIES (GLD)

ESCROW AGREEMENT

     This Escrow Agreement is made and entered into as of March 23, 2010, by and among PNC Bank,
National Association as escrow agent (“PNC Bank” or the “Escrow Agent”), The Campbell Global Trend
Fund, L.P. — Global Trend Series (USD) and The Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. — Global Trend
Series (GLD), each a legally separate and independent series of the Campbell Global Trend Fund,
L.P., a Delaware series limited partnership (the “Series”) and Campbell & Company, Inc., a Maryland
corporation, the trading advisor of each Series (“Campbell” or the “Advisor”).

     The parties agree that the assets of one Series will not be available to satisfy the
obligations of another Series.

     Pursuant to the duly filed Prospectus and all amendments thereto, each Series proposes to
offer for sale limited partnership interests in each Series (“Units”) to investors through various
Selling Agents. Each Series proposes to establish escrow accounts, listed on Schedule I, with the
Escrow Agent in which funds received from subscribers will be deposited pending completion of the
escrow period (“Escrow Account”).

     Commencing upon the execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall act as escrow agent
and agrees to receive, hold, deal with and disburse the proceeds from the sale of Units (the
“Proceeds”) and any other property at any time held by the Escrow Agent hereunder in accordance
with this Agreement.

     All Proceeds of subscriptions for Units of the applicable Series shall be deposited in an
escrow account established by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Series. All Proceeds shall be
denominated in U.S. dollars and deposited in the Escrow Account by check or wire transfer, duly
made out to “The Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. — Global Trend Series (USD) Escrow Account” or
“The Campbell Global Trend Fund, L.P. — Global Trend Series (GLD) Escrow Account,” as applicable.
The Escrow Agent shall promptly notify Campbell of any discrepancy between the amounts set forth on
any statement delivered by Campbell and the sum or sums delivered therewith to the Escrow Agent.
In the event that any checks or other instruments deposited in the Escrow Account prove
uncollectible, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify Campbell and forward such checks or other
instruments to Campbell.

     During the Initial Offering Period, as defined in the Prospectus, Campbell shall deliver to
all prospective subscribers interim receipts for the amount of the Proceeds deposited in the Escrow
Account, reciting the substance of this Agreement.

     The Escrow Agent, is hereby directed to hold, deal with and dispose of the Proceeds and any
other property at any time held by the Escrow Agent hereunder in the following manner, subject,
however, to the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

	 	1.	 	Proceeds of subscriptions will be deposited and held in the Escrow Account
during the Initial Offering Period until the minimum subscription amount has been met
for that Series and during the Continuous Offering Period until each month-end, or
otherwise agreed upon period, at which time the sums accumulated in the Escrow Account
shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Advisor’s written instruction
setting forth the date for such payment.
	 
	 	2.	 	Prior to the delivery, if any, of the escrowed funds to the applicable Series,
the Series shall have no title to nor interest in the funds on deposit, and such funds
shall under no circumstances be subject to the liabilities or indebtedness of the
Series.
	 
	 	3.	 	The Escrow Agent shall cause all funds deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant
to this Agreement to be maintained and invested as the Advisor may from time to time
direct in PNC Bank certificates of deposit, savings or money market accounts, in
compliance with the Rule 15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”), as elaborated upon by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Notice to Members 84-7, so that such
funds can be readily liquidated so that 100% of the funds so deposited can be returned
to the person entitled thereto under the circumstances described above or below. If
the deposit into the Escrow Account is made by Federal Funds wire transfer, the Escrow
Agent shall invest the funds deposited on the same day as deposited, provided that such
deposit is received by 5 p.m. New York City time. If the deposit into the Escrow
Account is made by Federal Funds wire transfer and received by the Escrow Agent after
5:00 p.m. New York City time, the Escrow Agent shall invest the funds deposited on the
next business day. If the deposit into the Escrow Account is made by automated
clearinghouse or check, the Escrow Agent shall invest the funds deposited on the next
business day following collection. The Escrow Agent will incur no liability for any
loss suffered so long as the Escrow Agent follows such direction, subject to the
standard of liability set forth below. Whether or not subscriptions are accepted and
Units are sold, or subscriptions are returned and no Units are sold, the Advisor shall
pay the Escrow Agent fees as set forth in Schedule I hereto for the Escrow Agent’s
services as Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent agrees that it shall have no right against
either Series with respect thereto.
	 
	 	4.	 	During the Initial Offering Period, as defined in the Prospectus, Proceeds
deposited into the Escrow Account will earn interest, which will either be paid to
subscribers in the form of additional Units or will be returned in cash to those
subscribers whose applications are rejected. During the Initial Offering Period, PNC
Bank will calculate accrued interest by subscriber to a Series and Campbell will
confirm subscriber names, dates and subscription amounts.
	 
	 	5.	 	During the Continuous Offering Period, as defined in the Prospectus, interest
earned on funds attributable to accepted subscriptions while held in the Escrow Account
shall be allocated by the Escrow Agent to the appropriate Series and Class and not to
any individual subscriber. During the Continuous Offering, the

2

 

	 	 	 	Advisor will calculate and distribute accrued interest in accordance with the
Prospectus.
	 
	 	6.	 	The parties understand and agree that per the Prospectus, one Series may “break
escrow” upon receipt of the subscription minimum in an Escrow Account and enter its
Continuous Offering Period prior to the other.
	 
	 	7.	 	The Advisor is authorized to notify the Escrow Agent that a subscription
agreement of a subscriber has not been accepted by the Advisor and to direct the Escrow
Agent to return any funds held in the Escrow Account for the benefit of such subscriber
directly to such subscriber. If funds shall be returned to subscribers, the Escrow
Agent shall do so to the same source from which the subscription funds were received.

     All documents, including any instrument necessary for the negotiation or other transfer of
escrow assets deposited simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement are approved by the
parties thereto, other than the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to inquire as
to the form, manner of execution or validity of these documents or any document hereafter deposited
or delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to rely on each document received and reasonably believed by it to be genuine, nor shall
the Escrow Agent be obliged to inquire as to the identity, authority or rights of the persons
executing the same.

     The Escrow Agent shall be liable under this Agreement only for its failure to exercise due
care in the performance of its duties expressly set forth herein.

     In the case of conflicting demands upon the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may withhold
performance of this Agreement until such time as said conflicting demands shall have been withdrawn
or the rights of the respective parties shall have been settled by court adjudication, arbitration,
joint order or otherwise.

     Any notice which the Escrow Agent or the Advisor is required or desires to give hereunder
(other than operational notices described below) to the other party shall be in writing and may be
given by mailing the same to the appropriate address of the other party (or to such other address
as may have theretofore substituted by written notification), by registered or first class mail,
postage prepaid. For all purposes hereof any notice so mailed shall be as effectual as though
served upon the person of the undersigned to whom it was mailed at the time it is deposited in the
United States mail by the Escrow Agent whether or not such undersigned thereafter actually received
such notice. Operational notices shall be directed to Campbell’s Fund Administration Department or
to PNC Bank’s Commercial Banking Department, as appropriate, and shall be in writing, including but
not limited to electronic mail and facsimile, as set forth in Schedule II hereto.

     Whenever under the terms hereof the time for giving a notice of performing an act falls upon a
Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, such time shall be extended to the Escrow Agent’s next business
day.

3

 

     The Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities shall be limited to those expressly set forth
in this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, or obligated to recognize,
any other agreement between or direction or instruction of, any or all of the parties hereto even
though reference thereto may be made herein; provided, however, with the Escrow Agent’s written
consent, this Escrow Agreement may be amended at any time or times by an instrument in writing
signed by all of the then parties in interest.

     If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon, under any
court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such
property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order or in case an order, judgment or decree
shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property, or any part thereof, then in any of
such events, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with
any such order, writ, judgment or decree, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing
is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not
be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of
such compliance, even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed,
modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

     This Agreement shall be construed, enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware.

     The Advisor may remove the Escrow Agent at any time (with or without cause) by giving at least
15 days written notice thereof. Within 10 days after giving such notice, the Advisor shall appoint
a successor escrow agent at which time the Escrow Agent shall either distribute the funds held in
the Escrow Account, its fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent
having been paid by Campbell, as directed by the instructions of the Advisor or hold such funds,
pending distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses or other obligations are paid by
Campbell. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed or has not accepted such appointment
by the end of the 10-day period, the Escrow Agent may appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor escrow agent, or for other appropriate relief and the costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys fees which the Escrow Agent incurs in connection with such a
proceeding shall be paid by the appropriate Series.

     The Escrow Agent may resign by giving five days’ written notice by registered or first class
mail sent to the undersigned at their respective addresses herein set forth; and thereafter,
subject to the provisions of the third preceding paragraph hereof, shall deliver all remaining
deposits in said Escrow Account upon the written and signed order of the Advisor. If no such
notice is received by the Escrow Agent within thirty days after mailing such notice, the Escrow
Agent is unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and empowered to send any and all proceeds
deposited hereunder by registered mail to the respective subscribers thereof, or at its sole option
to deliver such deposited items to the respective depositors. If the Escrow Agent resigns,
reasonable fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be paid by Campbell & Company.

     In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of
execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is
authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or

4

 

persons designated on Schedule II hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations
of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers
for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow
Agent. The parties acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.

     Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part
without the prior consent of the other parties.

     This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit 10.1

SUCCESSION AGREEMENT

     THIS SUCCESSION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into April 23, 2010, by and
between Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Lyn
Kirby (the “Executive”).

RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are parties to an Employment Agreement dated June 16, 2008
(the “Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company employs and Executive has agreed to
serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company through March 17, 2011, or if later, the date
the Company announces its fiscal year 2010-2011 earnings (the “Original End Date”);

     WHEREAS, the Company is about to engage a new Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) with the intent
to promote such person to the Chief Executive Officer position;

     WHEREAS, Executive and the Company mutually desire to provide for an orderly transition of
Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the COO in connection with his ultimate succession (the
“Succession”) and Executive desires to assist the Company in obtaining an orderly Succession; and

     WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have negotiated and reached an agreement with respect to
all rights, duties and obligations arising between them regarding Executive’s employment with the
Company and the conclusion of that employment relationship.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and mutual promises recited below, the
parties agree as follows:

     1. Voluntary Separation and Resignation from Employment. The Executive shall
voluntarily resign from employment and all offices and positions with the Company on such date
between June 30, 2010 and September 2, 2010 as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company and the Executive, but no later than September 2, 2010, with such
date being the “Termination Date.” In addition, on the Termination Date Executive shall resign all
other positions other than her position as a member of the board of directors of the Company (the
“Board”), on which she serves for, on behalf of or at the request of the Company. On the
Termination Date, Executive will execute such resignations from all offices as the Company shall
reasonably request.

     2. Board Position and Resignation. Following the Termination Date Executive shall
continue to serve as a member of the Board. Executive agrees that if requested by the Board, she
will resign from the Board effective on the Original End Date.

     3. Compensation as an Employee. From the date hereof until the Termination Date,
Executive shall continue to earn and receive her base salary at the rate in effect on the date
hereof. In addition, provided Executive remains employed through the Termination Date, she shall
be entitled to a pro rata portion of any Annual Bonus (as defined in the Employment Agreement) if
any, which may be earned based on the Company’s performance for fiscal year

 

 

2010-2011, to be paid on the Bonus Payment Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
Executive and the Company agree that Executive shall not be entitled to any severance under Section
5 of the Employment Agreement by reason of her termination of employment.

     4. Stock Option Rights.

     (a) For so long as Executive remains a member of the Board, Executive shall continue to vest
in all outstanding options to purchase Company common stock held by Executive (“Stock Options”).

     (b) The exercise period of all Stock Options outstanding on the date hereof (“Current Stock
Options”) shall be governed by the terms of the stock option agreements pursuant to which they were
granted. The Company and Executive agree that her resignation from the employment of the Company
shall not be treated as either a resignation with or without Good Reason, and the post-termination
exercise period for any Current Stock Options shall be triggered when Executive ceases to be a
member of the Board as if Executive remained employed through such date.

     (c) The Company agrees to grant to Executive the 2010 Option (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) as provided under the Employment Agreement at an exercise price equal to the greater of
$22.86 and the closing price on the date of grant. Executive shall vest in and the 2010 Option
shall become exercisable as if Executive remained employed through the Original End Date provided
that Executive remains a Board member through the Original End Date. Additionally, the Company will
pay the Executive, with the last payroll of the month in which the 2010 Option is granted, the
positive difference, if any, between the exercise price of the 2010 Option and $22.86 multiplied by
the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2010 Option.

     (d) The parties also agree that the 31,600 Stock Options scheduled to vest and become
exercisable on October 25, 2011 granted to Executive on October 25, 2009 (the “2009 Performance
Options”) pursuant to the terms of that letter agreement dated July 6, 2007, by and between
Executive and the Company (the “July 2007 Agreement”) shall vest on the Original End Date, provided
Executive remains a member of the Board through the Original End Date. The 2009 Performance
Options shall not be exercisable prior to October 25, 2011, and shall be exercisable only to the
extent Executive remains in compliance with the Policy. Once exercisable the 2009 Performance
Options shall be exercisable through January 25, 2012.

     (e) Executive agrees to cancel and forfeit her right to receive a grant of 63,200 Stock
Options as set forth in the July 2007 Agreement on October 25, 2010.

     5. Continued Benefits. The Company agrees that Executive shall continue to be
eligible for coverage on the same basis as active employees for all medical, dental and life
insurance (“Employee Benefits”) through the Original End Date. In the event that the
Company is unable to include Executive in the Company’s current Employee Benefits policies after
the Termination Date, the Company hereby agrees to pay Executive’s premiums for continued health
insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act for so long as the
Company is unable to include Executive in the Company’s current Employee Benefits policies;

2

 

provided, however, that the Company shall in no event be required to pay such
premiums beyond the Original End Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Company shall not be required to obtain a separate policy for Employee Benefits of Executive.

     6. Amendment to Policy. In consideration of the Company’s obligations under Sections
4 and 5, Executive and Company hereby amend the Policy (as defined in the Employment Agreement) to
provide that, solely with respect to Retailers (as defined in the Policy) and for Competitors (as
defined in the Policy) which are also Multi-Product Retailers (as defined below), the applicable
Noncompete Period and Nonsolicitation Period (both as defined in the Policy) shall commence
following the date she no longer serves as a member of the Board, and not upon termination of her
employment. For all Competitors other than Multi-Product Retailers, the Noncompete and
Nonsolicitation Period shall commence upon her Termination Date. A “Multi-Product Retailer” shall
mean a Competitor, but only if it is engaged exclusively in the retail distribution of various
products, including hair styling, beauty salon, spa services, fragrance, cosmetics, salon products
or beauty aid/products (i.e., JCPenney, CVS/pharmacy, Target). In all other respects the Policy
shall remain in full force and effect. Executive also agrees, while she is a Board member, not to
provide services to any supplier of product to the Company.

     7. Inclusion on Shelf Registration. The Company shall include all common shares held
by Executive on any shelf registration statement that it files within one year of the date herof on
Form S-3; provided, however, that if such registration statement is in connection with an
underwritten offering, the Company shall include such common shares held by Executive as agreed by
Executive and such other shareholders of the Company.

     8. Conditions to Obligations.

     (a) The Company’s obligations under Sections 4 and 5 above shall be conditioned upon
Executive’s execution of the Release (as defined in the Employment Agreement) within 21 days of the
Termination Date and continued compliance with the Policy (as amended by this Agreement). Any
payments or benefits to be provided under this Agreement shall be made or begin on the
30th day after the Release is signed, unless revoked. In the event that Executive
revokes the Release or violates the Policy then (i) all Employee Benefits under Section 5 shall
terminate; (ii) Executive shall cease and no longer be entitled to further vesting in all Stock
Options and the post-termination exercise period for all Stock Options shall be determined from the
Termination Date; and (iii) the Company’s obligations under Section 4(c) and (d) shall terminate.

     (b) Executive agrees that the benefits under Sections 4 and 5 and the Accrued Benefits (as
defined in the Employment Agreement) are the only payments to which Executive is entitled as a
result of or in connection with termination of her employment pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s rights and benefits under any of the
Company Plans (as defined in the Employment Agreement) shall be as determined under the terms
thereof and the Executive does not waive any claims for indemnity as an officer or director of the
Company that she may have by law, under the bylaws or articles of incorporation of the company, or
pursuant to any directors and officers liability insurance.

3

 

     9. Impact on Employment Agreement. Except as otherwise modified by this Agreement,
the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Executive, however, specifically
agrees and waives all right to claim Good Reason under the Employment Agreement and terminate her
employment prior to or on the Termination Date with respect to any actions taken by the Company or
the Board regarding the Succession, which shall include, but not be limited to (a) appointment of
the COO and the granting to him of the President title, (b) transition of duties and
responsibilities from Executive to the COO, (c) the reassignment of reporting responsibilities such
that individuals who now report to Executive shall report to the COO; and/or (d) the appointment
or election of the COO to the Board. Nothing herein shall otherwise limit Executive’s right to
terminate for Good Reason under the terms of the Employment Agreement.

     10. Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the
Executive shall be subject to tax and other legally required or voluntarily elected withholdings as
the Company may reasonably determine, in consultation with the Executive. The Company may withhold
from any cash payments to be made to Executive any legally required withholdings.

     11. Special Rule for U.S. Income Tax Compliance. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the parties intend that this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the
Code and all guidance or regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”), and this Agreement and the
payment of any benefits hereunder shall be operated and administered accordingly. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 shall be made in reliance upon
Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (Separation Pay Plans) or Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)
(Short-Term Deferrals). However, to the extent any such payments are treated as non-qualified
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then if Executive is deemed at the time
of her separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the
benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a
prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executive’s
termination benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration
of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” or (B)
the date of Executive’s death. Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments deferred pursuant to
this Section 11 shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum without interest thereon. The
determination of whether the Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of her separation from service shall made by the
Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder
(including without limitation Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) and any successor provision thereto).
For purposes of this Agreement each installment payable under Section 5 shall be shall be
considered a separate payment.

     12. Non-Reliance. Executive represents to the Company and the Company represents to
Executive that in executing this Agreement they are not relying and have not relied upon any
representation or statement not set forth herein made by the other or by any of the other’s agents,
representatives or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement,
or otherwise.

4

 

     13. Other Agreements and Return of Property.

     (a) Executive shall continue to be bound by the Policy (as amended by this Agreement) and the
Policy shall survive Executive’s resignation and the execution of this Succession Agreement and the
Release.

     (b) Executive agrees that she will return to the Company prior to or upon the Termination Date
all of the Company’s property including but not limited to original and any copies of any
confidential information or trade secrets, all Company-issued computers, PDA’s, keys, pass cards,
customer lists, files, brochures, documents or computer disks or printouts, equipment and any other
item relating to the Company and its business, other than information that the Executive needs to
continue performing her duties as a member of the Board.

     14. Assignment; Successors. The rights and benefits under this Agreement are personal
to Executive and such rights and benefits shall not be subject to assignment, alienation or
transfer, except to the extent such rights and benefits are lawfully available to the estate or
beneficiaries of Executive upon death. To the extent any obligations of the Company pursuant to
the Agreement remain unsatisfied upon Executive’s death, the Company shall make payment or provide
the benefits set forth in Sections 4 and 5 above to her spouse, dependents or estate as applicable.
The Company may assign this Agreement to any parent, affiliate or subsidiary or any entity which at
any time whether by merger, purchase, reconstitution or otherwise acquires all or substantially all
of the assets, stock or business of the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company, Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal
representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as
applicable

     15. Entire Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the
Employment Agreement, the Release, the Stock Option agreements and the Policy (each of which is
incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof) includes the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties and supersedes any prior agreements, written or oral, with
respect to the subject matter hereof, including the termination of Executive’s employment and all
amounts to which Executive shall be entitled from the Company.

     16. Severability/Reasonable Alteration. If any term, provision, covenant or condition
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the limitations permitted
by applicable law, as determined by such court in such action, then the provisions will be deemed
reformed to the maximum limitations permitted by applicable law and the parties hereby expressly
acknowledge their desire that in such event such action be taken. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable during the term of this Agreement after
application of the first sentence of this Section 16, then 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.

except by an instrument in writing, signed by the Employee and a duly authorized officer of the
Company. By an instrument in writing similarly executed, the Employee or a duly authorized officer
of the Company may waive compliance by the other party or parties with any specifically identified
provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform;
provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to,
any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right,
remedy, or power hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy,
or power provided herein or by law or in equity.

expenses incurred by the Executive in the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement up to a

     20. Injunctive Relief. It is recognized and acknowledged by Executive that a breach
of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement (including, compliance with the provisions of the
Release and the Policy will cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact
amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any
such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of any breach of
such obligations, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law, in equity or
pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and
injunctive relief. Executive agrees not to raise as a defense or objection to the request or
granting of such relief that any breach of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of
money damages, and Executive agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any
bond in connection with such remedy.

     21. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed,
construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with its express terms, and otherwise in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to the principles
of conflicts of law or choice of law of the State of Illinois, or any other jurisdiction, and where
applicable, the laws of the United States. The parties irrevocably agree that all actions to
enforce an arbitrator’s decision pursuant to Section 23 of this Agreement may be instituted and
litigated in federal, state or local courts sitting in Cook County, Illinois and each of such
parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court, waives any objected based on
forum non conveniens and any right to a jury trial as set forth in Section 22 of this Agreement.

     22. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES
AND RELINQUISHES AND ALL RIGHTS SHE/IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTIONS

THIS AGREEMENT.

     23. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this

in effect, in accordance with this Section 23, except as otherwise prohibited by any nonwaivable
provision of applicable law or regulation. The parties hereby agree that the arbitrator shall
construe, interpret and enforce this Agreement in accordance with its express terms, and otherwise
in accordance with the governing law as set forth in Section 21 above. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction, provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to
prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of this Agreement and Executive hereby
consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without requiring the Company to
post a bond. Unless the parties otherwise agree, only individuals who are on the AAA register of
arbitrators shall be selected as an arbitrator. Within twenty (20) days of the conclusion of the
arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law.
It is mutually agreed that the written decision of the arbitrator shall be valid, binding, final
and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all administrative
fees, and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, to the extent that such fees and expenses exceed
the amount that the Executive would have incurred to file a claim in court. In the event action
is brought pursuant to this Section 23, the arbitrator shall have authority to award fees and costs
to the prevailing party, in accordance with applicable law. If in the opinion of the arbitrator
there is no prevailing party, then each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and expenses.
