	6. 	Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
      





	 	A.    Trade secrets as
      used in this agreement means all or any part of any Company pattern, customer
      list or related customer information, sales or marketing plan, financial
      data, design, process procedure, formula, compilation of information, improvement
      or invention, that is (i) known to Company only, (ii) is considered and
      treated within the Company and by the Company as confidential, Company,
      and (iii) gives the Company an advantage over the competitors who do not
      know or use it.
	 	 
	 	B.    Confidential Information,
      as used in this Agreement, means all non-public and proprietary information
      or technology used in the Company's business. Information that can be readily
      reproduced from publicly available sources is not Confidential Information.
      Confidential Information includes both written and unwritten information,
      patentable or non-patentable information, and copyrightable or non-copyrightable
      information. Subject to the foregoing limitations, Confidential Information
      includes (i) information that belongs to the Company, (ii) the Confidential
      Information of any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control
      with, the Company; and (iii) information confidentially provided to the
      Company by its customers or others. Confidential Information includes, without
      limitation; customer data, customer account information, and customer lists;
      sales records; invoices; contracts; information contained in customer files;
      information provided by customers and pertaining to their finances, operations
      or finances or operations of third parties; Trade Secrets; financial statements
      or financial information; current or contemplated future business plans;
      designs; performance specifications; marketing plans; strategies or schematics;
      pricing; and computer data, documentation, or algorithms. 
	 	 
	 	Allen acknowledges that the Company is engaged
      in an industry with rapidly emerging technology and know-how. Allen acknowledges
      that Trade Secrets and Confidential Information are valuable and unique
      assets of the Company or of the customers or others that furnished such
      Confidential Information to the Company. Allen and Company acknowledge that
      Allen may be provided access to Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
      during the course of employment, that to the extent that such access is
      granted, it will advance the Allen's career, and that use of Trade Secrets
      and Confidential Information for any purpose other than the sole benefit
      of the Company is wrong and would cause irreparable harm to the Company.
      Accordingly, Allen agrees: 




	 	(1) 	To hold all Trade Secrets and Confidential
      Information in strictest confidence and, unless Company gives Bennett prior
      written consent to do so, not to disclose or use any such Trade Secrets
      and Confidential Information (except for use as required in performance
      of his or her duties for the Company) either during employment or after
      termination of his or her employment. 
	 	 	 
	 	(2) 	During and after employment, never to use Trade
      Secrets or Confidential Information other than in the course of employment
      for the Company; 
	 	 	 
	 	(3) 	During and after employment, to use all reasonable
      measures to prevent the unauthorized use of Trade Secrets and Confidential
      Information by others. 
	 	 	 
	 	(4) 	During and after employment to take common
      sense precautions to protect Company Trade Secrets and Confidential Information,
      such as never discussing them in public places like elevators, airplanes,
      or restaurants; personal conversations; and never carelessly handling documents
      containing such Trade Secrets or Confidential Information; and 
	 	 	 
	 	(5) 	To advise the Company's Manager immediately
      if anyone from outside the Company attempts to cause Allen to disclose Company
      Trade Secrets or Confidential Information. 




	 	All Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
      belong solely to the Company or, as applicable, to its customers or others
      who confidentially provide such information to the Company. Other than documents
      being used for the work-in-progress by the Allen, no copies of any written
      or computer-readable Trade Secrets or Confidential Information shall be
      made or removed from the Company's offices by the Allen without prior written
      consent of the Company. Allen understands that his or her unauthorized disclosure
      of Trade Secrets or Confidential Information may result in discipline, up
      to and including termination of his or her employment.





  






  



 
	 	During and after employment, Allen agrees that
      he or she shall continue to be bound by the obligations in this Agreement
      following termination of his or her employment with the Company. 
	 	 
	 	The confidentiality obligations in this section
      do not prohibit disclosure to the extent necessary to comply with a court
      order, or subpoena, or any other obligation imposed by law. However, should
      Allen receive a court order, subpoena or request from a government agency
      pertaining to information that appears to be Confidential Information, Allen
      must immediately, and at least five (5) business days prior to disclosing
      such Confidential Information, notify the Manager by fax and by mail that
      Allen has received a request to provide Confidential Information and transmit
      to him by fax and by mail a copy of the subpoena, court order, or government
      request received. 

      

      C.    Trade secrets and confidential information of others
      that Allen may have obtained from previous employees will not be disclosed
      to the Company by the Allen without the consent of the prior employer. Allen
      agrees that if he or she is bound by confidentiality terms from a prior
      employer that Allen will use his or her best efforts to not violate those
      terms and to ensure that no claim can be made against the Company for a
      violation of those terms. If Allen believes that he or she has violated
      the terms of a prior confidentiality agreement, inadvertently or not, Allen
      shall promptly notify the Company of the incident.

      

      D.    No solicitation of Employees. During employment
      and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Allen shall not, directly
      or indirectly, solicit for employment any employee of the Company.

      

      E.    Safeguarding Company Property. All Company equipment,
      computers, software, books, personnel data, graphics materials, and other
      property shall remain the sole property of the Company even if Allen is
      allowed to remove it from the office. Allen agrees to safeguard all such
      property in his or her possession and to return it to Company in good condition
      upon request or upon termination of employment. Allen understands that he
      or she may be held financially responsible if such property is not returned
      or is not returned in good condition or working order (less normal wear).




	7. 	Inventions/Copyrights 




The Company will be the sole owner on a worldwide basis of any
and all ideas for inventions, improvements, technology, valuable discoveries,
and trade secrets (hereinafter referred to as Intellectual Property), whether
patentable or not, that are developed, created, conceived, discovered, learned
and/or made by the employee alone or jointly with others during his or her employment
by the Company after the date of this Agreement. This paragraph applies to Intellectual
Property made or conceived by the Allen during working hours, or to Intellectual
property that is related to business or activities of the Company or that Allen
conceives as a result of his or her employment by the Company. Allen hereby agrees
to promptly disclose to the Company all such Intellectual Property, made, conceived
or reduced to practice by Allen during his or her employment with the Company
occurring after the date of this Agreement. Any claim or cause of action of the
Allen against the Company, whether based on this agreement or otherwise will not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the provisions of this
Agreement. 



All Intellectual Property made or conceived by the Allen prior to the date of
this Agreement with the Company is excluded from the scope of this Agreement.




Allen further agrees that Company owns the copyright and all other intellectual
property rights in works of authorship, computer programs and all other materials
prepared by Allen during his or her employment with the Company that relate to
Company business.
