the first date when Employee reports for work for the Company after the date
hereof (the "Effective Date") and shall continue thereafter for a period of one
(1) year, subject to the terms and conditions herein stated; provided that
Employee may terminate this Agreement at any time hereafter by giving the

In the event of a termination pursuant to this paragraph 4(b), the Company shall
be relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement, except that: (i) the
Company shall pay to the Employee that portion of the Employee's wages earned

its rights to such opportunity and the Employee shall have the right to pursue
such opportunity upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
specifically subject to the terms of Section 2 of this Agreement.

         6. Intellectual Property. Employee hereby assigns to the Company all
inventions, processes, discoveries and improvements (whether or not patentable)
which are conceived, made or learned by Employee alone or jointly with others in

interests of the Company or relating to areas which may be reasonably
anticipated to be encompassed by such business interests of the Company at the
time of conception. Employee at any time during or after his employment will
promptly disclose to the Company all such processes, inventions, discoveries or
improvements assigned hereby. Employee will also at the Company's expense
cooperate in all lawful acts which may be necessary or desirable in the judgment
of the Company to protect or vest title to such inventions, processes,
discoveries or improvements in the Company or its nominee including, without
limitation, applying for, obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing patents thereon

contractors, customers, employee records and other confidential and proprietary
information about the business of the Company (hereinafter collectively referred
to as "information"), all of which the Company considers highly confidential,
giving the Company significant advantage over competitors, and which the Company
desires to protect. The Employee understands that such information is the sole
property of the Company, and that the information is confidential, and he agrees

time use or reveal such information to anyone except as permitted by the Company

produced by him or coming into his possession by or through his employment
hereunder, and the Employee agrees that all such materials and information will
at all times remain the property of the Company.

valuable separate consideration given by Company to Employee, Employee agrees
that during the period of time that the Employee is employed by the Company and
