secrets of any other company or entity, including, without limitation, vendors,
customers or former employers, without their written authorization.

(I)    which Employee can demonstrate, by written records, was known to Employee

Information by Employee; or

(II)    which is now, or becomes in the future, public knowledge other than by

(f)    Return of Information. Immediately upon Employer’s request, Employee will
return to Employer all Confidential Information and all memoranda, notes,

or not such documents contain Confidential Information, and/or Employee will
destroy, and certify to Employer as to such destruction, all Confidential
Information and other materials.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g)    Post-Employment Non-Competition. For a period of two (2) years following
the date Employee ceases to work for Employer, Employee shall not, anywhere in
the world in which Employer conducts business activity, directly or indirectly,
on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, render
services or act as an officer, director, partner, agent, consultant or employee
of, or otherwise assist any Competitor (excluding ownership of less than five
percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded
on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market).

(h)    Post-Employment Non-Interference with Customer and Supplier
Relationships. Employee covenants and agrees that he or she shall not, for a
period of two (2) years following the date Employee ceases to work for Employer,
directly or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other
person or entity, contact or do business with any customer or supplier of
Employer with respect to any Competitive Product. This covenant applies to those
customers and suppliers, and their respective affiliates, to which Employer has
sold its products or services prior to the date Employee ceases to work for
Employer, and those prospective customers and suppliers with which Employer has
actively pursued sales or supply opportunities prior to the date Employee ceases
to work for Employer.

(i)    Post-Employment Non-Recruitment. Employee agrees that Employer has and
will invest substantial time and effort in acquiring and maintaining its
workforce. Accordingly, Employee agrees that for a period of two (2) years
following the date Employee ceases to work for Employer, Employee shall not: (I)
hire away, or cause any other person or entity to hire away, any employee of
Employer as of the date Employee ceases to work for Employer or, (II) directly
or indirectly, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
entity, entice or solicit, or seek to induce or influence any such employee to
leave his or her employment.

(j)    Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest. Employee agrees to promptly and
fully disclose, and unless the Board of Directors of Employer consents, to
refrain from engaging in, any activity which creates a conflict between
Employee’s personal interests and the interests of Employer. Employee agrees and
acknowledges that such conflicts may arise in the following illustrative
situations as well as others: (I) ownership by Employee or by a relative of
Employee of a substantial financial interest in any outside concern which does
business with, or is a Competitor of Employer (except where such interest
consists of an insubstantial percentage of a publicly owned corporation); (II)
rendition of services to any outside concern, including Employee’s own or that
of a close relative, which does business with, or is a Competitor of, Employer;
(III) acceptance by Employee or a close relative of Employee of a gift (of more
than token value), a loan (other than from an established financial
institution), excessive entertainment, or other substantial favors from any
outside concern which does business with, or is seeking to do business with, or
is a Competitor of, Employer; (IV) representation of Employer in any transaction
in which Employee has, or a close relative of Employee has, a substantial
interest; (V) competition with Employer, directly or indirectly, in the purchase
or sale of property or property rights or interest; and (VI) transaction of
personal business with third persons in such a manner or under such
circumstances as may cause the third person to believe he or she is dealing with
Employer rather than Employee individually, such as by transacting personal
business on stationery with Employer’s letterhead.

3.    REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS: Employer and Employee expressly agree that the
restrictions and covenants contained in this Agreement are needed to protect the
valuable business interests of Employer and are reasonable as to time and
geographic scope because of the nature of Employer’s business and the location
of its competitors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.    REMEDIES. Employee acknowledges that should he or she violate or threaten
to violate any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, it will be
difficult to determine the resulting damages to Employer. In addition to any
other remedies Employer may have, Employer will be entitled to temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and
permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage.
Employer may elect to seek any remedy at its sole discretion on a case by case
basis. Failure to seek any remedy in one case will not restrict Employer from
seeking any other remedy in another case nor will such action constitute a
waiver of any of Employer’s rights. The prevailing party in an action filed to
seek enforcement of or damages from a breach of this Agreement will be entitled
to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses.
5.    AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. Employee’s employment is at-will. Subject to
Employer’s policies and practices, either Employee or Employer may terminate
Employee’s employment at any time, with or without cause or reason. The
relationship between Employee and Employer is and shall be specifically limited
to an employer/employee relationship. As a result, nothing contained in this
Agreement or relating to any past, present or future relationship of the parties
shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, trustee/beneficiary
or other type of fiduciary or business relationship.
6.    CHOICE OF FORUM AND LAW: Employer has its world headquarters located in
Lorain County, Ohio. The parties therefore agree that to the extent permitted by
law, any action to enforce or seek a declaration of rights under this Agreement
shall be filed in state court in Lorain County, Ohio or federal court in the
Northern District of Ohio. Additionally, because the parties have significant
contacts in Ohio, to the extent permitted by law, the laws of the State of Ohio
shall govern the enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement.

7.    MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties respecting the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
negotiations, undertakings, agreements and arrangements with respect thereto,
whether written or oral. This Agreement may be modified only by written
agreement signed by both parties. If any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, then such paragraph or
provision shall become divisible and shall be amended immediately to include
only such term and area as shall be considered reasonable and enforceable by the
court properly construing such provision. No waiver of a breach of any term or
terms of this Agreement will be effective unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by the non-breaching party. No waiver of any breach will be deemed a
waiver of any other or subsequent breach. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be
assigned by Employer without Employee’s consent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
as of the day and year first above written.
