      within a short period of time, and that Company shall be entitled to
      preliminary injunctive relief and other injunctive relief against such
      violation.  Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and

      have in law and equity for the enforcement of those covenants and
      provisions.  Employee further acknowledges that should he
      violate any of the covenants or provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6, he will
      reimburse Company for its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred to
      enforce the terms of this
Agreement.

      Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company all documents,
      statistics, accounts, records, programs and other items of whatever nature
      or description (the “Documents”) which may be in his possession or under
      his control which relate in any way to the Trade Secrets or the business

                REPRESENTATIONS. Employee hereby represents and warrants that
      this Agreement constitutes his valid and binding obligation enforceable in
      accordance with its terms and the execution, delivery and performance of
      this Agreement does not violate any agreement, arrangement or restriction
      of any kind to which Employee is a party or by which he is
      bound.

              


      

       

      
        	
                10.

              	
                MISREPRESENTATION. Neither party hereto shall knowingly at any time
      make any untrue statement in relation to the other or any of their
      affiliates and in particular Employee shall not after the termination of
      his employment hereunder wrongfully represent himself as being employed by
      or connected with the Company or any affiliate of the
      Company.

      EXPENSES.
      The Company shall reimburse Employee for all ordinary and necessary
      out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Employee on behalf of the
      business of the Company. Employee agrees that expense reports must be
      submitted to obtain reimbursement of expenses as well as presentation of
      such supporting documentation as the Company may reasonably require.
      Employee further agrees to submit with expense reports such records and
      logs as may be required by the relevant taxing authorities for the
      substantiation of each such business expense as a deduction on the
      Company’s income tax
  returns.

              


      

       

        	
                12.

                (a)

              	
                It
      shall be part of the normal duties of Employee at all times to consider in
      what manner and by what new methods or devices the products, services,
      processes, equipment or systems of the Company or any of its affiliates
      with which he is concerned or for which he is responsible might be
      improved, and promptly to give to the President of the Company or Board of
      Directors full details of any invention or improvement which he may from
      time to time make or discover in the course of his duties, and to further
      the interests of the Company with regard thereto. Subject only to any
      contrary provisions of the laws of the United States or the Commonwealth
      of Massachusetts, all such materials, inventions, improvements, methods,
      products, services, equipment or systems shall be deemed to be “works made
      for hire”, and to the extent such items are not works made for hire, the
      Employee hereby irrevocably grants and assigns such materials, inventions,
      improvements, methods, products, services, equipment or systems to the
      Company which shall be entitled, free of charge, to the sole ownership of
      any such invention or improvement.

                (b)

              	
                Employee
      shall, if and when required so to do by the Company, at the expense of the
      Company, apply or join with the Company in applying for patents or other
      protection in any part of the world for any such discovery, invention or
      process as aforesaid and shall at the expense of the Company, execute and
      do or cause to be done all instruments and things reasonably necessary for
      vesting the said patent or other protection when obtained and all right,
      title and interest to and in the same in the Company or in such other
      person as the Company may
