      this Paragraph 5.2.

5.3.  Disclosure
      of Innovations .
      Executive shall make prompt and full disclosure to the Company and solely the

      Executive may make, develop or reduce to practice, alone or jointly with others,
      at any time during the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year
      thereafter, whether during working hours or at any other time and whether at
      the
      request or upon the suggestion of the Company or otherwise, and whether or
      not
      they are eligible for patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other legal
      protection (collectively, “ Innovations ”).
      Examples of Innovations shall include, but are not limited to, discoveries,
      research, formulas, tools, know-how, marketing plans, new product plans,
      production processes, advertising, packaging and marketing techniques and
      improvements to computer hardware or software.




5.4.  Assignment
      of Ownership of Innovations .
      All
      Innovations shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Executive
      hereby assigns all rights, title or interest in and to the Innovations to the
      Company. At the Company’s request and expense, during the Employment Period and
      at any time thereafter, Executive will assist and cooperate with the Company
      in
      all respects and will execute documents and give testimony to obtain, maintain,
      perfect and enforce for the Company any and all patent, copyright, trademark,
      trade secret and other legal protections for the Innovations.




5.5.  Remedies .
      Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in the foregoing
      paragraphs 5.1 through 5.4, in view of the nature of the businesses in which
      the
      Company and its subsidiaries are engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order
      to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, and
      that the legal remedies for a breach of any of the provisions of this section
      5
      will be inadequate and that such provisions may be enforced by restraining
      order, injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief. Such
      equitable remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies
      which the injured party or parties may have under applicable law, equity, this
      Agreement or otherwise. Executive shall not, in any action or proceeding to
      enforce any of the provisions of this Paragraph 5, assert the claim or defense
      that an adequate remedy at law exists. The prevailing party shall be entitled
      to
      recover its legal fees and expenses in any action or proceeding for breach
      of
      this section 5.




5.6.  Company
      Property .
      All
      Confidential Information; all Innovations; and all correspondence, files,
      documents, advertising, sales, manufacturers’ and other materials or articles or
      other information of any kind, in any media, form or format furnished to
      Executive by the Company, which may not deemed confidential, shall be and remain
      the sole property of the Company (“ Company
      Property ”).
      Upon
      termination or at the Company’s request, whichever is earlier, Executive shall
      immediately deliver to the Company all such Company Property.




5.7. Public
      Policy/Severability. The parties do not wish to impose any undue or
      unnecessary hardship upon Executive following his departure from the Company’s
      service. The parties have attempted to limit the provisions of this section
      5 to
      achieve such a result, and the parties expressly intend that all provisions
      of this section 5 be construed to achieve such result. If, contrary to the
      effort and intent of the parties, any covenant or other obligation contained
      in
      this section 5 shall be found not to be reasonably necessary for the protection
      of the Company, to be unreasonable as to duration, scope or nature of
      restrictions, or to impose an undue hardship on Executive, then it is the desire
      of the parties that such covenant or obligation not be rendered invalid thereby,
      but rather that the duration, scope or nature of the restrictions be deemed
      reduced or modified, with retroactive effect, to render such covenant or
      obligation reasonable, valid and enforceable. The parties further agree that
      in
      the event a court, despite the efforts and intent of the parties, declares
      any
      portion of the covenants or obligations in this section 5 invalid, the remaining
      provisions of this section 5 shall nonetheless remain valid and enforceable.
