                  ORDER AMENDING PRECEDENTIAL OPINION

AMBRO, Circuit Judge

       It is now ordered that the published Opinion in the above case filed August 23,
2007, be further amended as follows:

         On page 10, first paragraph, line 5, change “argues” to “argue” so that the sentence
reads:

                Tyco and Tieman argue that Victaulic asked for a preliminary injunction on
                the basis of all of its claims, including the trade secrets claim that has not

                                               2
               been dismissed.

         On page 11, line 8, change “App. at A71” to “id. at A71” so that the sentence
reads:

               This language is all but lifted from the covenant not to compete, see id. at
               A71, which supports Victaulic’s claim that enforcement of the covenant
               (and not preliminary relief on the trade secrets claim) was its only aim in
               seeking preliminary injunctive relief.

       On page 24, in the first line of footnote 7, add “the” before “District Court” so that
the sentence reads:

               In the alternative, Victaulic argues that the District Court should have
               attempted to “blue pencil” (i.e., amend) the covenant to make it reasonable.

                                           By the Court,

                                           /s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge

Dated: November 20, 2007
