        obligation will continue after termination of my employment, provided
        that (a) all expenses required to apply for, obtain and enforce any
        patents will be paid by the Company, and (b) if I am required to spend
        any substantial amount of time to carry out my obligations, I will be
        entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for that time. I
        understand that the Company will have no obligation to me to apply for
        or obtain any such patents.

XIX     Writings
        --------

        Any written, printed materials or software while I prepare during the
        course of my employment and solely related to the direct business of the
        Company will be the property of the Company, and if so requested by the
        Company, I will do whatever is appropriate to obtain copyright
        protection for such materials for the benefit of the Company. I will not
        publish or cause the publication of any written or printed materials
        relating to my work for Utix or its clients without the prior written
        approval of the Company. All copyrightable works that I create during
        the term of the agreement and for the sole benefit of the Company shall
        be considered "works made for hire."

XX      Company Property
        ----------------

        Upon the termination of my employment (or during my employment, if so
        requested by the Company), I will deliver to the authorized
        representative of the Company (a) all credit cards, identification
        cards, badges, keys and other items which have been provided to me by
        the Company, (b) all tools, equipment, and software provided to me by
        the Company and (c) all the written and printed materials, records,
        tapes and other media which relate to the business of the Company. I
        will not retain any copies of duplicates of the items described above,
        except that I may retain copies of my own records relating to my
        compensation from the Company, a copy of this Employee Agreement (and
        any related amendments), documents related to Executive's equity
        ownership, and my personal copies of any papers or correspondence which
        have been written by me and have been published without restriction. In
        the event that I fail to return any company property upon termination of
        my employment or as otherwise directed, I authorize the Company to
        offset the replacement cost of such property from my wages.

XXI     Non-Compete
        -----------

        In recognition of the sensitivity of the confidential and proprietary
        information of Utix to which I have access during my employment with the
        Company, and the degree of competition in the fields in which Utix has
        chosen to engage, I agree that, for a period of one year after the date
        of termination of my employment with the Company for any reason (the
        "Restricted Period"), I will not engage in any business, whether as an
        employee, consultant or otherwise that is competitive with any business
        activity of Utix with which I was directly involved during the past six
        months of employment with Utix. Further, I will not accept employment or
        a consulting position with any business which is, or at any time within
        one year prior to my termination, was a customer of Utix without the
        prior written consent

        of the CEO or other authorized executive of Utix. I may, however, own 5%
        or less of the securities of any publicly traded company.

XXII    Soliciting Employees and Clients
        --------------------------------

        I agree that while the Company's employ, and thereafter during the
        Restricted Period, I will not, and will not assist anyone else to,
        directly or indirectly, solicit or induce any of Utix's employees to
        terminate their employment with Utix or divert or take away from Utix
        any person, company or entity which on the date hereof is, or hereafter
        during the term of my employment by the Company becomes a customer,
        client, supplier or independent contractor of Utix.
