        III

      Non-Competition,
        Confidentiality and Nondisclosure

      


      3.1
         Confidentiality.
        Executive acknowledges that he will be employed in a position of trust and
        confidence with respect to the Company. In particular, the Company and Executive
        recognize that to provide a high quality of products and services to the
        Company’s customers, which benefits both the Company and Executive economically,
        the Company will need to reveal 


      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      


      to
        Executive valuable Confidential Information (defined below) known and used
        by
        the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates and customers. Executive will
        not
        during Executive’s employment by the Company or thereafter at any time disclose,
        directly or indirectly, to any person or entity or use for Executive’s own
        benefit any trade secrets or confidential information relating to the Company’s,
        or any of the Company’s subsidiaries’ or affiliates’, business operations,
        marketing data, business plans, strategies, employees, negotiations and
        contracts with other companies, or any other subject matter pertaining to
        the
        business of the Company or any of its clients, customers, consultants,
        licensees, subsidiaries or affiliates, known, learned, or acquired by Executive
        during the period of Executive’s employment by the Company (collectively
“Confidential Information”), except as may be necessary in the ordinary course
        of performing Executive’s particular duties as an employee of the
        Company.

      


      3.2
         Return
        of Confidential Material.
        Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company on termination of Executive’s
        employment with the Company, whether or not for cause and whatever the reason,
        or at any time the Company may so request, all memoranda, notes, records,
        reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints, and any other documents of a
        confidential nature belonging to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates,
        including all copies of such materials which Executive may then possess or
        have
        under Executive’s control. Upon termination of Executive’s employment by the
        Company, Executive shall not take any document, data, or other material of
        any
        nature containing or pertaining to the proprietary information of the Company
        or
        its subsidiaries or affiliates.

      


      3.3
         Restrictive
        Covenants.
        To
        reduce the cost to the Company of monitoring and enforcing the compliance
        of
        Executive with the confidentiality obligations contained in Section 3.1 of
        this
        Agreement, Executive agrees that he will not, so long as he is employed by
        the
        Company and, in the case of Section 3.3(b), (c) and (d), for the longer of
        (i) a
        period of one (1) year from and after the date of termination of his employment,
        or (ii) the period during which Executive receives any compensation from
        the
        Company under the terms of Section 4.4(b) (the “Restricted Period”):


      


      (a) directly
        or indirectly own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money
        or
        render financial assistance to, as an officer, employee, partner, stockholder,
        consultant or otherwise, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or
        other
        business organization or entity that, at such time directly competes with,
        or
        intends to compete with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
        in
        the business of motor repair, magnet manufacture and repair, preventive
        maintenance and electrical contracting, or any other principal line of business
        engaged in by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at the
        time
        of such termination (a “Competing Company”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        Executive shall be entitled to own securities of any entity if such securities
        are registered under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Securities Exchange Act
        of
        1934, as amended, and, upon approval of the Company’s Board of Directors,
        Executive shall be entitled to purchase securities of a Competing Company
        entity
        if such securities are offered to investors irrespective of any employment
        or
        other participation in the entity by the investor;

      



      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      


      (b) directly
        or indirectly, either for Executive or for any other person or entity, solicit
        any person or entity to terminate such person’s or entity’s contractual and/or
        business relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
        nor shall Executive interfere with or disrupt or attempt to interfere with
        or
        disrupt any such relationship; 

      


      (c) engage
        for the benefit of himself or any other person or entity, in any activity
        of
        employment in the performance of which it could be reasonably anticipated
        that
        he would be required or expected to use or disclose Confidential Information
        obtained while an employee of the Company; or

      


      (d) directly
        or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees, agents, or independent
        contractors to leave the employ of the Company for a Competing
        Company.

      


      In
        the
        event of a violation by Executive of the provisions of Section 3.3(b), (c)
        or
        (d) following termination of employment, Executive hereby forfeits any amount
        due and owing Executive under the terms of Section 4.4(b), if any, and such
        forfeiture shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies that the
        Company may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, as a result of
        any
        such violation.

      


      3.4 Intellectual
        Property.
        

      


      (a) Disclosure.
        During
        the term of this Agreement and during the one year period after termination
        of
        Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall promptly and fully disclose to
        the Company all computer programs, documenta-tion, software, and other
        copyrightable works (“copyrightable works”), and all discoveries, improvements,
        and inventions (“inventions”) conceived, reduced to practice, or made by
        Executive, whether solely or jointly with others, which: (i) relate in any
        manner to the business or activities of Company and any of its subsidiaries
        or
        affiliates; or (ii) are suggested or result from any work performed or duties
        assigned to Executive on behalf of Company or any of its subsidiaries or
        affiliates; or (iii) are made or conceived of through the use of Company’s, or
        any of its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’, facilities or resources or using any
        Confidential Information; or (iv) otherwise arise during the course of
        Executive’s employment with Company (collectively, “Intellectual Property”);
        except that the term “Intellectual Property” shall not include any copyrightable
        works or inventions which Executive proves to have been conceived and made
        by
        him after termination of his employment with Company and not based upon any
        Confidential Information. This disclosure requirement will apply whether
        or not
        such Intellectual Property is patentable or copyrightable and whether or
        not
        made or conceived solely by Executive or in conjunction with another person.
        This disclosure requirement will also apply regardless of whether any
        Intellectual Property is made during or after Executive’s working hours or made
        at or away from his usual place of employment.

      


      (b) Ownership.
        All
        Intellectual Property shall be the exclusive property of the Company, and
        Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company any and all of his rights,
        title and interest in and to any and all such Intellectual Property. Without
        limiting 


      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      


      the
        generality of the foregoing, all Intellectual Property which constitutes
        copyrightable works shall be considered works made for hire for the benefit
        of
        the Company. If any such work shall be deemed not to be a work made for hire,
        or
        if Executive should otherwise by operation of law be deemed to retain any
        rights
        to any such work, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns all of his rights,
        title
        and interest in and to such work to the Company.

      


      (c) Assistance.
        Executive agrees to fully cooperate with and assist the Company in the
        preparation and prosecution of patent applications and copyright registration
        applications relating to any Intellectual Property, without further
        compensation. Executive further agrees to execute any further documents which
        may be lawful, necessary or proper to memorialize or secure the exclusive
        title
        for such Intellectual Property in the Company, without further compensation
        to
        Executive. If Executive fails to sign and deliver to the Company (or its
        agents
        or attorneys) any document requested by the Company (or its agents or attorneys)
        to evidence the Company’s sole ownership of any Intellectual Property within
        fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of any such document to Executive
        with a request that Executive sign or deliver same, then Executive agrees
        that
        the President of the Company or a person designated by the Board of Directors
        of
        the Company (the “Company’s Representative”) may sign any and all of such
        documents in Executive’s name and on his behalf. Accordingly, Executive hereby
        makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Company’s Representative as
        Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, said power of attorney being coupled
        with an interest, and authorizes Company’s Representative in Executive’s name,
        place and stead to execute on Executive’s behalf each and all of such
        documents.

      


      3.5 Reasonableness
        of Covenants.
        The
        parties acknowledge and agree that the temporal and other limitations contained
        in this Article III are reasonable and necessary for the proper protection
        of
        the Company. Executive further acknowledges that, in the event of the
        termination of his employment with the Company, his skills and experience
        are
        such that he can obtain employment without soliciting the Company’s customers or
        engaging in activity forbidden by this Agreement and that the enforcement
        of a
        remedy by way of injunction will not prevent him from earning a livelihood.
        In
        the event, however, a court determines that any of the terms, provisions,
        or
        covenants contained in this Article III are unreasonable, a court may limit
        the
        application of any such term, provision or covenant, or modify any such term,
        provision or covenant and proceed to enforce this Article III as so limited
        or
        modified.

      


        3.6
         Right
        to Injunctive and Equitable Relief.
        Executive acknowledges that the Company’s remedy at law for any breach of
        Executive’s obligations under this Article III would be inadequate and
        specifically agrees that the Company may be entitled to injunctive relief
        against him, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity,
        including compensatory damages incurred by the Company as a result of such
        violation and including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and the
        right to set off in enforcing any of its rights under this Article III. Should
        any party hereto resort to legal proceedings in connection with the enforcement
        of the terms of this Article III, the party prevailing in such legal proceedings
        pursuant to an adjudication by the court shall be entitled, in addition to
        such
        other relief as may be granted, to recover its/his or their reasonable costs
        and
        expenses (including 


      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      


      reasonable
        fees of attorneys, accountants and others) incurred in connection with the
        defense or prosecution, as the case may be, of such legal proceedings from
        the
        non-prevailing party. Furthermore, the obligations of Executive and the rights
        and remedies of the Company under this Article III are cumulative and in
        addition to, and not in lieu of, any obligations, rights, or remedies created
        by
        applicable law relating to misappropriation or theft of trade secrets or
        confidential information.

      


        3.7
         No
        Violation of Other Agreements.
        Executive represents that his performance of all the terms of this Agreement
        and
        as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement
        to (i)
        not compete or interfere with the business of a former employer (which term
        for
        purposes of this Section 3.7 shall also include persons, firms, corporations
        and
        other entities for which Executive has acted as an independent contractor
        or
        consultant), (ii) not solicit employees, customers or vendors of any former
        employer or (iii) keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by
        Executive in confidence or in trust prior to Executive’s employment with the
        Company. Executive represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company
        that Executive will not bring to the Company any materials or documents of
        a
        former employer containing confidential or proprietary information that is
        not
        generally available to the public, unless Executive shall have obtained express
        written authorization from any such former employer for their possession
        and
        use. Executive hereby
        agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company (including its
        officers, directors, employees and agents) from and against any loss, claim,
        liability, damages, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
        incurred or suffered by the Company which arise out of or relate to any
        inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
        Section.

        constitutes a crime of moral turpitude or which is punishable by imprisonment
        in
        a state or federal correction facility;

      


      (ii) Actions
        by Executive during the term of this Agreement involving willful malfeasance

        date hereof, upon the Company,

      


      (iv)
         Executive’s
        material breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that
        termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) shall
        not constitute valid termination for “Cause” unless Executive shall have first
        received written notice from the Company stating the

      nature
        of
        the material breach, failure or refusal and affording Executive at least

        (10) days to correct the act or omission complained of to the satisfaction
        of
        the Company’s Board of Directors; or

      


      (v) Executive’s
        willful violation of any reasonable rule or regulation applicable to all

        however, that any new period of incapacity or absences shall be deemed to

        or
        absence and the new incapacity or absence is determined by the Company, in

        responsibilities (unless such reduction is for Cause); (iii) any material
        adverse change in Executive’s Base Salary (unless such reduction is for Cause)
        and any material adverse change in Executive’s benefits (other than changes that
        affect other management employees of the Company to the same or comparable
        extent); (iv) any relocation of the premises at which Executive works to
        a
        location more than 25 miles from such location, without Executive’s consent; or
        (v) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement, which breach has not been
        cured by the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice
        specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature of such breach or failure from

      (a)
         If
        the
        Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s death or
        Disability, by the Company for Cause, or by Executive without Good Reason,
        then
        the Company shall pay the Executive his Base Salary through the effective
        date
        of such termination plus credit for any vacation earned but not taken and
        the
        Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to Executive under this
        Agreement; provided, however, that the Company will continue to honor any
        obligations that may have vested or accrued under the existing Company Benefit
        Plans or any other Agreements or arrangements applicable to the
        Executive.

      


      (b)
         If
        the
        Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause,
        or if
        this
        Agreement is terminated by Executive for Good Reason,
        then
        the
        Company shall:

      


      (i)
         pay
        to
        the Executive within two business days following the date of termination
        his
        Base Salary through the end of the month during which such termination occurs
        plus credit for any vacation earned but not taken;

      


      (ii)
         pay
        to
        the Executive as severance pay: (1) an amount equal to the Executive’s Base
        Salary in effect as of the date of termination, which amount shall not exceed
        $__________ and which amount shall be paid in installments in accordance
        with
        the Company’s usual payroll periods for one (1) year, plus (2) an amount equal
        to the most recent annual profit sharing and/or incentive bonus received
        by the
        Executive from the Company, prorated for the portion of the current year
        for
        which the Executive was employed, or, if more, the amount which would be
        due
        under the profit sharing and/or incentive bonus plans applicable to Executive
        for the then current year calculated as of the effective date of termination,
        which amount shall be reduced by any payment previously received for and
        during
        the then current year as part of the profit sharing and/or incentive bonus
        plans; such payment to be made in substantially equal installments in accordance
        with the Company’s usual payroll periods over such time period as Executive
        receives Base Salary severance payments hereunder;

      


      (iii)
         maintain,
        at the Company’s expense, in full force and effect, for the Executive’s
        continued benefit for one year, all Company medical insurance and reimbursement
        plans and other programs or arrangements in which the Executive was entitled
        to
        participate immediately prior to the date of termination, provided that the
        Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and
        provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that the Executive’s
        participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange
        to provide the Executive with medical benefits substantially similar to those
        which the Executive was entitled to receive under such plans or programs;
        and

      (iv)
         pay,
        for
        the benefit of Executive, all costs, up to a maximum of $10,000, related
        to
        Executive’s participation in a senior executive outplacement program at an
        outplacement firm.

      


      (c)
         In
        the
        event of Executive’s Disability, Executive acknowledges that his employment will
        be automatically terminated effective immediately upon the determination
        of
        Disability; provided that, during the period of the disability prior to such
        termination of employment, Executive shall continue to receive all compensation
        and benefits as if he were actively employed less any sums received directly
        by
        the Executive, if any, under any policy or policies of disability income
        insurance purchased by the Company. In the event of such termination,
        Executive’s rights to receive any salary or payments under this Agreement shall
        terminate but Executive shall have the right to continue to receive any and
        all
        payments made by an insurance company under any and all policies of disability
        insurance purchased by the Company. Executive’s rights under any Company Benefit
        Plans will be those rights accorded to any terminated employee under the
        plan
        provisions and applicable law. Executive will remain entitled to receive
        any
        benefits under state disability or worker’s compensation laws.

      


      (d) The
        Company will deduct and withhold all necessary Withholding Taxes from
        Executive’s benefits provided hereunder.

      


      4.5
        Effect
        of Termination.
        Upon
        any termination of this Agreement, for any reason, Executive shall be deemed
        to
        have immediately resigned as a director of the Company and all subsidiaries,
        if
        applicable, without the giving of any notice or the taking of any other
        action.

        unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner
        and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if
        no
        such succession or assignment had taken place. Any failure of the Company
        to

        successor or assign to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes
        and delivers the agreement provided for in this Article V or which otherwise

        of

        by any corporation a majority of the voting securities of which is then owned
        by
        the Company, “Company” as used in this Agreement shall in addition include such
        employer.
