Consultant may then possess or have under its control.
          (c) Work Product. All inventions, innovations, improvements,
developments, methods, which relate to the ARC Group’s actual or anticipated

agrees that in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in addition to such other legal and equitable remedies that
