foregoing  provisions shall constitute unfair  competition and shall be a breach
of this Agreement and of Employee's fiduciary duties hereunder.

you agree to return  and  deliver  all such  materials,  including  all  copies,
remnants,  or  derivatives  thereof to the Company upon the  termination of your
employment with the Company or at any other time upon request.

copyrights,   copyrightable  works,  developments,   discoveries,  designs,  and
processes which Employee now or hereafter during the period employee is employed
by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise and for one (1) year thereafter
may own,  conceive of, or develop and either relating to the fields in which the
Company may then be engaged or contemplates  (as  demonstrated by the records of
the Company)  being  engaged or conceived  of or developed  utilizing  the time,
material,  facilities, or information of the Company ("Inventions") shall belong
to the Company.  As soon as Employee  owns,  conceives  of, or develops any such
Invention,  employee agrees  immediately to communicate  such fact in writing to
the Chief Operating  Officer of the Company,  and without further  compensation,
but at the  Company's  expense  (except  as set forth  below in item (a) of this

of liens,  mortgages,  security interests,  pledges,  charges,  and encumbrances
arising from the acts of Employee  ("Liens")  (Employee to take such action,  at
employee's  expense,  as is  necessary  to remove all such  Liens)  and (b),  if

other available rights or remedies,  may sue in equity for specific  performance
without  the  necessity  of  posting  a bond or  other  security,  and  Employee
expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

ed by Employee and Company and  approved in writing by the majority  vote of the
Board of Directors of the Company.

parties hereto except as set forth herein.  The Agreement  controls over any and
all  provisions  or  guidelines  contained  in  any  Employee  Manual,  Employee
Handbook,  Company Policy Manual or other similar document.  Employee  expressly
acknowledges that no Employee Manual,  Employee Handbook,  Company Policy Manual
or other similar  document is or shall become a contract between the Company and
