employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or at any other time the
Company may in writing so request, he will promptly deliver to the Company all
materials constituting Confidential Information (including all copies thereof)
that are in the possession of or under the control of Employee. Employee further
agrees that, if requested by the Company to return any Confidential Information
pursuant to this Subsection (iv), he will not make or retain any copy or extract
from such materials.

                           For the purposes of this Section 7 (c), Confidential
Information means any and all information developed by or for the Company or any
of its subsidiaries of which Employee gained knowledge by reason of his
employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries prior to the date hereof or
his employment under this Agreement that is not generally known in any industry
in which the Company or its subsidiaries is or may become engaged.

                  d. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

                           i. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the
covenants and obligations contained in this Section 7 relate to special, unique
