                                   ARTICLE II

                                   TERMINATION

         2.01     Events of Termination.  Executive's employment with HFC:

                  (a)      May be terminated by mutual written agreement of HFC
                  and Executive.

                  (b)      Shall terminate immediately upon the death of
                  Executive.

                  (c)      May be terminated upon written notice from HFC to
                  Executive for Cause, which shall mean the following:

                                    (i)   Failure of Executive to (a)
                           satisfactorily, faithfully, diligently or competently
                           perform the duties, requirements and responsibilities
                           of Executive's employment as contemplated by this
                           Agreement or as assigned by HFC's CEO, or (b) take
                           reasonable direction consistent with Executive's
                           position from HFC's CEO; or

                                    (ii)  Failure of Executive to comply with
                           the reasonable policies, regulations and directives
                           of HFC as in effect from time to time; or

                                    (iii)  Any act or omission on the part of
                           Executive which constitutes a failure to comply with
                           the provisions of this Agreement; or

                                    (iv)   Any act or omission on the part of
                           Executive which is harmful to the reputation or
                           business of HFC, including, but not limited to,
                           personal conduct of Executive which is inconsistent
                           with federal and state laws respecting harassment of,
                           or discrimination against, one or more of HFC's
                           employees; or

                                    (v)   Conviction of Executive of, or a
                           guilty or nolo contendere plea by Executive with
                           respect to, any crime punishable as a felony; or
                           any bar

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                           against Executive from serving as a director, officer
                           or executive of any firm the securities of which
                           trade publicly.

                           Executive's termination for Cause shall be determined
                  in good faith by and in the sole discretion of HFC's Chief
                  Executive Officer and/or his designee.

                           In the event of termination pursuant to subparagraph
                  2.01(c)(iii), (iv) or (v), Executive's termination shall be
                  immediate upon the giving of written notice to Executive.
                  However, in the event of termination pursuant to subparagraph
                  2.01(c)(i) or (ii), HFC's CEO will provide Executive written
                  notice (the "Cause Notice") of proposed termination which
                  provides (1) reasonable detail as to the cause or causes
                  asserted by HFC and upon which the Cause Notice is based, and
                  (2) notification of a certain period of time from receipt of
                  such Cause Notice within which Executive shall have the
                  opportunity to cure the performance or conduct upon which the
                  Cause Notice is based, to the satisfaction of HFC's CEO. If
                  after the completion of the designated cure period HFC's CEO
                  determines, in his sole discretion, that Executive has failed
                  to cure the performance or conduct, Executive will be given
                  written notice of Executive's termination and Executive's
                  employment will terminate immediately upon the giving of such
                  notice to Executive.

                  (d)    May be terminated upon Executive's inability to perform
                  the essential functions of Executive's position due to
                  physical or mental disability, with or without reasonable
                  accommodation, as determined in the good faith judgment of
                  HFC's CEO, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

                  (e)    Shall terminate at the end of the month during which
                  Executive reaches the normal retirement date established by
                  HFC for management employees of HFC, but in no event earlier
                  than the compulsory retirement age permitted under applicable
                  federal or state law for management employees.

                  (f)    May be terminated by Executive for any reason on thirty
                  (30) days' written notice to HFC.

                  (g)    May be terminated by HFC at any time, for any reason,
                  upon written notice to Executive.

         2.02     Compensation Upon Termination of Executive's Employment.  In
the event that Executive's employment with HFC terminates the following
provisions shall govern as applicable:

                  (a)   If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(a),
                  (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f), Executive's receipt of annual base
                  salary and fringe benefits shall terminate as of the date of
                  termination or as required by law, unless the parties agree in
                  writing otherwise. If termination occurs pursuant to
                  subparagraph 2.01(d), Executive acknowledges and agrees that
                  Executive's receipt of salary compensation between the date of
                  disability and date of termination shall be governed by HFC's
                  employee benefit programs, as

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

                  may be amended from time to time, to the extent Executive is
                  eligible to participate in such programs.

                  (b)   If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(g),
                  Executive's receipt of annual base salary and fringe benefits
                  shall terminate as of the date of termination or as required
                  by law. However, Executive shall receive as separation pay the
                  equivalent of three (3) months of Executive's then current
                  annual base salary. Any separation pay due to Executive under
                  this subparagraph 2.02(b) shall be payable to Executive, at
                  the sole discretion of HFC, either in a lump sum or in
                  installments in accordance with HFC's standard payroll
                  practices. Executive shall be required to execute a general
                  release of any and all claims in favor of HFC in exchange for
                  Executive's receipt of separation pay under this subparagraph
                  2.02(b).

                  (c)   All payments made to Executive under this Paragraph 2.02
                  shall be reduced by amounts (i) required to be withheld in
                  accordance with federal, state and local laws and regulations
                  in effect at the time of payment, and (ii) owed to HFC by
                  Executive for any amounts advanced, loaned or misappropriated
                  in accordance with applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         PROTECTION OF TRADE SECRETS AND
                           CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS DATA

         3.01. Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" means any information not generally known to the
public and proprietary to HFC and includes, without limitation, trade secrets,
inventions, and information pertaining to research, development, purchasing,
marketing, selling, accounting, licensing, business systems, business
techniques, site processes and manuals, customer information and lists,
prospective customer information and lists, pricing information and lists, fee
schedules, business strategies and plans, information pertaining to the benefits
HFC provides to its customers and employees, pending patentable materials and/or
designs, design documentation, discoveries, improvements, ideas, documentation
of meetings, tests and/or test standards, employee compensation, or manuals
whether or not in document, electronic, computer or other form. For example,
Confidential Information may be contained in HFC's customer lists, prospective
customer lists, the particular needs and requirements of customers, the
particular needs and requirements of prospective customers, and the identity of
customers or prospective customers. Information shall be treated as Confidential
Information regardless of its source, and any information which is labeled or
marked as being "confidential" or "trade secret" shall be presumed to be
Confidential Information. The definition of "Confidential Information" is not
intended to be complete; from time to time during the term of Executive's
employment, Executive may gain access to other information not generally known
to the public and proprietary to HFC concerning HFC's business that is of
commercial value to HFC, which information shall be included in the definition
of "Confidential Information" above, even though not specifically listed in that
definition. The definition of Confidential Information and the provisions of
this Article III apply to any form in which the subject information, trade
secrets, or data may appear, whether written, oral, or any other form of
recording or storage.

         3.02     Maintain in Confidence. Executive shall hold the Confidential
Information, including trade secrets and/or data, in the strictest confidence
and will never, without prior written consent of HFC, (directly or indirectly)
disclose, assign, transfer, convey or communicate to any person or entity
(including without limitation a competitor of HFC, the press, other
professionals, corporations, partnerships or the public), or use for Executive's
own or another's benefit, at any time prior to or during Executive's employment
with HFC or at any time after Executive's termination of employment with HFC,
regardless of the reason for Executive's resignation or termination of
employment, whether voluntary or involuntary. Executive further promises and
agrees that Executive will faithfully abide by any rules, policies, practices or
procedures existing or which may be established by HFC for insuring the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including, but not limited to,
rules, policies, practices or procedures: (a) limiting access to authorized
personnel; (b) limiting copying of any writing, data or recording; (c) requiring
storage of property, documents or data in secure facilities provided by HFC and
limiting safe or vault lock combinations or keys to authorized personnel; and/or
(d) checkout and return or other procedures promulgated by HFC from time to
time.

         3.03     Return of Information/Property. Upon Executive's resignation
or termination of employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, or prior to or
during Executive's employment upon request by HFC for any reason, Executive will
return to HFC any and all written or otherwise recorded form of all Confidential
Information (and any copies thereof) in Executive's possession, custody or
control, including, but not limited to, notebooks, memoranda, specifications,
customer information and lists, prospective or potential customer information
and lists, and pricing information and lists, and will take with him, upon
leaving HFC's place of business or employment with HFC, no such documents, data,
writings, recordings, or reproduction in any form which may have been entrusted
or obtained by him during the course of Executive's employment or to which he
had access, possession, custody or control, except with the express, written
permission of HFC's Board of Directors. Moreover, in the event of Executive's
resignation or termination of employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, all
corporate documents, records, files, credit cards, computer disks and tapes,
computer access cards, codes and keys, file access codes and keys, building and
office access cards, codes and keys, materials, equipment and other property of
HFC which is in Executive's possession, custody or control shall be returned to
HFC at its principal business offices on the date of Executive's resignation or
termination of employment, or within five business days thereafter if
termination occurs without notice. Executive may copy, at Executive's expense,
documents, records, materials and information of HFC only with the express,
written permission of HFC's Board of Directors.

         3.04     Irreparable Harm. The parties acknowledge that HFC will suffer
irreparable harm if Executive breaches Paragraphs 3.02 or 3.03, either during or
after Executive's employment with HFC. Accordingly, HFC shall be entitled, in
addition to any other right and remedy it may have, at law or equity, to a
temporary restraining order and/or injunction, without the posting of a bond or
other security, or with the posting of a minimal bond or security where required
by applicable law, enjoining or restraining Executive from any violation of
Paragraphs 3.02 or 3.03, and Executive hereby consents to HFC's right to seek
the issuance of such injunction. If HFC institutes any such action against
Executive, alone or in conjunction with any third party or parties to enforce
any terms or provisions of Paragraphs 3.02 or 3.03, then the party that prevails
in such action shall be entitled to receive from the opposing party (or parties)
in the action the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such
action and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith in accordance
with Paragraph 7.08

                  in the United States, or in any foreign country or territory
                  in which the services Executive may provide could enhance the
                  use or marketability of a Conflicting Product (as defined
                  below) by application of Confidential Information that
                  Executive shall have had access to during Executive's
                  employment, except that Executive may accept employment with a
                  Conflicting Organization whose business is diversified and
                  which is, as to that part of its business in which Executive
                  accepts employment, not a Conflicting Organization, provided
                  that HFC, prior to Executive's accepting such employment,
                  shall receive separate written assurances satisfactory to HFC
                  from such Conflicting Organization and from Executive, that
                  Executive will not render services directly or indirectly, for
                  an 12-month period, in connection with any Conflicting
                  Product. Executive also agrees that during Executive's
                  employment with HFC and for a period of 12 months thereafter,
                  Executive will not render services to any other organization
                  or person in a position in which Executive could use
                  Confidential Information to the detriment of HFC.

                  (b)   "Conflicting Organization" means any person or
                  organization that is engaged in (or about to become engaged
                  in) research on, consulting regarding, or development,
                  production, marketing or selling of a Conflicting Product.

                  (c)   "Conflicting Product" means any product, process,
                  technology, machine, invention or service of any person or
                  organization other than HFC in existence or under development
                  which resembles or competes with a product, process,
                  technology, machine, invention or service upon which Executive
                  shall have worked or about which Executive becomes
                  knowledgeable as a result of employment with HFC and whose use
                  or marketability could be enhanced by application to it of
                  Confidential Information which Executive shall have had access
                  to during Executive's employment.

         4.02     Non-Solicitation Agreement.  During Executive's employment
with HFC and for a period of twelve (12) months after Executive's resignation or
termination of employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, Executive shall

                  potential or prospective customers on behalf of himself or any
                  other business, person or entity for the purpose of selling,
                  offering, providing or otherwise making available products or
                  services that are the same as or similar to those products and
                  services that were offered by HFC at any time during
                  Executive's employment with HFC;

                           (b)   exploit or use contacts, developed or made
                  during Executive's employment with HFC, for the purpose of
                  soliciting HFC's current or former customers or potential or
                  prospective customers on Executive's behalf or the behalf of
                  any other business, person or entity for purpose of selling,
                  offering, providing or otherwise making available products or
                  services that are the same as or similar to those products and
                  services that were offered by HFC at any time during
                  Executive's employment with HFC; or

                           (c)   directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to
                  induce, any of HFC's then current employees or independent
                  contractors to terminate their employment, contractual or
                  other relationship with HFC, or otherwise interfere or attempt
                  to interfere with that existing employment or other
                  relationship with HFC.

         4.03     Non-Disparagement. During Executive's employment with HFC and
at all times thereafter, Executive shall not disparage or defame, or allow or
cause others to disparage or defame, HFC, its Board of Directors, directors,
officers, employees, customers, or vendors.

         4.04     Irreparable Harm. The parties acknowledge that HFC will suffer
irreparable harm if Executive breaches Paragraph 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03.
Accordingly, HFC shall be entitled, in addition to any other right and remedy it
may have, at law or equity, to a temporary restraining order and/or injunction,
without the posting of a bond or other security, or with the posting of a
minimal bond or security where required by applicable law, enjoining or
restraining Executive from any violation of Paragraph 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03 and
Executive hereby consents to HFC's right to seek the issuance of such
injunction. If HFC institutes any such action against Executive, alone or in
conjunction with any third party or parties to enforce any terms or provisions
of Paragraph 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03 then the party that prevails in such action
shall be entitled to receive from the opposing party (or parties) in the action
the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such action and
all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith in accordance with
Paragraph 7.08.

         4.05     Limit to Extent Enforceable. In the event that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of Paragraph 4.01,
4.02 or 4.03 are unreasonable, it may limit such provision to the extent it
deems reasonable, without declaring the provision of Paragraph 4.01, 4.02 or
4.03 invalid in its entirety. This provision shall not be construed as an
admission by HFC, but is only included to provide HFC with the maximum possible
protection for its business, Confidential Information, trade secrets and data,
consistent with the right of Executive to earn a livelihood subsequent to the
termination of Executive's employment.

         4.06     Compliance. To enable HFC to monitor Executive's compliance
with the obligations imposed by this Agreement, including Sections 4.01, 4.02
and 4.03, Executive shall, during the twelve

                                      -8-

of HFC or (ii) to HFC's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development, or (b) which does not result from any work performed by Executive
for HFC.

any third party or parties, to enforce any term or provision of Paragraphs 5.02

         such employment with HFC, commencing as of the Effective Date, subject
         to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such employment shall

         the following:

                           (i)   Failure of Executive to (a) satisfactorily,

                  requirements and responsibilities of Executive's

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                  employment as contemplated by this Agreement or as assigned by
                  HFC's Chief Executive Officer or his designee, or (b) follow
                  the reasonable direction consistent with Executive's position
                  of HFC's Chief Executive Officer or his designee; provided,
                  however, in the event of termination pursuant to this
                  subparagraph 2.01(c)(i), HFC's CEO will provide Executive
                  written notice (the "Cause Notice") of proposed termination
                  which provides (1) reasonable detail as to the cause or causes
                  asserted by HFC and upon which the Cause Notice is based, and
                  (2) notification of a certain period of time not less than
                  thirty (30) days from receipt of such Cause Notice within
                  which Executive shall have the opportunity to cure the
                  performance or conduct upon which the Cause Notice is based,
                  to the satisfaction of HFC's CEO. If after the completion of
                  the designated cure period HFC's CEO determines, in his sole
                  discretion, that Executive has failed to cure the performance
                  or conduct, Executive will be given written notice of
                  Executive's termination and Executive's employment will
                  terminate immediately upon the giving of such notice of
                  Executive; or

                           (ii)   Failure of Executive to comply with the
                  written policies, regulations and directives of HFC that have
                  been provided to Executive in effect and as may change from
                  time to time; or

                           (iii)   Any act or omission on the part of Executive
                  which constitutes a material failure to comply with the
                  provisions of this Agreement; or

                           (iv)   Any act or omission on the part of Executive
                  which is potentially harmful to the reputation or business of
                  HFC, including, but not limited to, any conduct of Executive
                  which is inconsistent with federal and state laws or HFC
                  policies respecting harassment and discrimination, or other
                  HFC policies; or

                           (v)   Conviction or arrest of Executive for, or a
                  guilty or nolo contendere plea by Executive with respect to,
                  any crime punishable as a felony; or any bar against Executive
                  from serving as a director, officer or executive of any firm
                  the securities of which trade publicly.

                  Executive's termination for Cause shall be determined in good
                  faith by and in the sole discretion of HFC's Chief Executive
                  Officer and/or his designee.

                  (d)    May be terminated upon Executive's inability to perform
         the essential functions of Executive's position due to physical or
         mental disability, with or without reasonable accommodation, as
         determined in the good faith judgment of HFC's Chief Executive Officer,
         or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

                  (e)    May be terminated by Executive for any reason upon
         ninety (90) days' written notice to HFC.

                  (f)    May be terminated by Executive in the event if (i) a
         material breach by HFC of this Agreement arising out of HFC's failure
         to pay Executive in accordance with

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

         Article I of this Agreement which remains uncured ten (10) days after
         receipt of written notice from Executive of such material breach, or
         (ii) any other material breach by HFC of this Agreement which remains
         uncured thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Executive
         of such material breach.

                  (g)    May be terminated by HFC for any reason other than one
         described in subsections 2.01(c) or (d) effective at any time after
         December 31, 2006, upon ninety (90) days written notice to Executive;
         provided that HFC may provide less notice if HFC commences the 3-month
         separation pay period under Section 2.02(b) below upon the effective
         date of termination..

         2.02     Compensation Upon Termination of Executive's Employment.  In
the event that Executive's employment with HFC terminates the following
provisions shall govern as applicable:

                  (a)   If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(a),
         (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), HFC shall pay Executive his base salary and
         fringe benefits through the date of termination (except Executive shall
         have the right to continue certain benefits at Executive's expense
         under COBRA), unless the parties agree in writing otherwise. If
         termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(d), Executive
         acknowledges and agrees that Executive's receipt of salary compensation
         between the date of disability and date of termination shall be
         governed by HFC's employee benefit programs, as may be amended from
         time to time, to the extent Executive is eligible to participate in
         such programs.

                  (b)   If termination occurs pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(g),
         HFC shall pay Executive his base salary and fringe benefits through the
         date of termination (except Executive shall have the right to continue
         certain benefits at Executive's expense under COBRA). However,
         Executive shall receive as separation pay the equivalent of three (3)
         months of Executive's then current base salary if termination occurs
         pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(g) or if Executive terminates his
         employment with HFC for Good Reason (as defined below). Any separation
         pay due to Executive under this subparagraph 2.02(b) shall be payable
         to Executive, at the sole discretion of HFC, either in a lump sum or in
         installments in accordance with HFC's standard payroll practices.
         Executive's compensation as an employee shall cease upon commencement
         of the three-month separation pay period, which shall commence as of
         day following the last day of Executive's employment. The last day of
         Executive's employment shall be the last business day prior to
         expiration of any applicable notice period hereunder, or such earlier
         date following the giving of such notice as of which the Company no
         longer requires Executive to perform services for the Company. If a
         termination pursuant to subparagraph 2.01(g) occurs after Executive's
         first twelve (12) months of employment, Executive shall be required to
         execute a separation agreement prepared by HFC to include a general
         release of any and all claims in favor of HFC in connection with
         Executive's receipt of separation pay under this subparagraph 2.02(b).

                  (c)   All payments made to Executive under this Paragraph 2.02
         shall be reduced by amounts (i) required to be withheld in accordance
         with federal, state and local

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

         laws and regulations in effect at the time of payment, and (ii) owed to
         HFC by Executive for any amounts advanced, loaned or misappropriated in
         accordance with applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE III
                     PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

all times thereafter, he will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any

disclosure by Executive, (b) which is information that would not reasonably be
considered to be part of the HCN business acquired by HFC and that was within
Executive's legitimate and unrestricted possession prior to the time of his
employment with HFC, or (c) which is made available to Executive from a source
other than HFC and such source is not bound by a duty of confidentiality to HFC.

         3.02    Return of Information/Property. Executive will, immediately
upon his voluntary or involuntary resignation or termination from employment for
any reason, or upon HFC's request at any time, deliver to HFC all property,
documents, materials and other items, whether on computer disc or tape or
otherwise, including all copies thereof, belonging to HFC or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliated entity, or in any way related to the business of HFC or
any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity, or the services Executive performed
for HFC or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity, including but not
limited to any property, documents, materials or items containing trade secret,

                  (d)   Directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce, any
         of HFC's then current employees or independent contractors to terminate

means Executive's termination of his employment with HFC for any of the
following reasons:

                  (a)   Any material breach by HFC of this Agreement, and HFC
         fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of
         written notice of such material breach from Executive.

<PAGE>

                  (c)   Any assignment of material duties to Executive that are
         inconsistent with Executive's education, experience and skills, except
         as may be necessary to fulfill HFC's legitimate business needs;
         provided that Executive shall first give HFC written notice setting
         forth in reasonable detail the basis for Executive's claim under this
         subparagraph (c), and either HFC has not withdrawn or appropriately
         modified such assignment, or the parties have not been able to resolve
         such claims with good faith negotiations, within thirty (30) days
         following the giving of such notice.

         4.03     Non-Disparagement. During Executive's employment with HFC and

services, and of Executive's job title and responsibilities with any such
employer or entity, prior to accepting such employment or engagement.

         4.05     Purchase Agreement Restrictions.  The provisions of this
Article IV are in addition to restrictions on Executive's competition with HFC
contained in the Purchase Agreement and are not in lieu of nor intended to
supersede such restrictions.

                                    ARTICLE V
                            COPYRIGHT AND INVENTIONS

         5.01     Copyrights. Executive acknowledges that any documents,
drawings, computer software or other work of authorship prepared by him within
the scope of his employment is a "work made for hire" under U.S. copyright laws
and that, accordingly, HFC exclusively owns all copyright rights in such works
of authorship. For purposes of this Paragraph, "scope of employment" means that
the work of authorship (a) relates to any subject matter pertaining to
Executive's employment, (b) relates to or is directly or indirectly connected
with the existing or reasonably foreseeable business, products, services,
projects or Confidential Information of HFC, or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliated entity, or (c) involves the use of any time, material or facility of
HFC, or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity.

         5.02     Inventions. HFC will be entitled to all of the benefits,
profits, results and work product arising from or incident to all of Executive's
work, services, advice and activities, including without limitation all rights
in inventions (as set forth below), trademark or trade name creations, and
copyrightable materials.

         During the period of his employment with HFC and for a period of one
year after such termination, or three years from the date hereof, whichever is
longer, Executive agrees to communicate promptly and fully to HFC all
inventions, discoveries, improvements or designs made, conceived or reduced to
practice by Executive (alone or jointly with others) which both (i) pertain to
the business of HFC or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity, and (ii)
arise or have arisen out of the performance of duties by Executive under this
Agreement that are originated,

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

made, conceived or reduced to practice by Executive during the term of this
Agreement or during the term of his employment by HCN (the "Protected
Inventions"), and, except as provided in this Paragraph 5.02, Executive will and
hereby does assign to HFC and/or its nominees all of Executive's right, title
and interest in the Protected Inventions and all of his right, title and
interest in any patents, patent applications or copyrights based thereon without
obligation on the part of HFC to make any compensation, royalty or payment to
him. Executive further agrees to assist HFC and/or its nominee (without charge
but at no expense to Executive) at any time and in every proper way to obtain
and maintain for its and/or their own benefit, patents and/or copyrights for the
Protected Inventions. Executive agrees to keep accurate, complete and timely
records of all Protected Inventions, which records shall be the sole property of
HFC and shall not be removed from HFC premises.

         Executive understands and agrees that any Protected Invention on which
Executive files a patent application within one (1) year after Executive's
resignation or the termination of Executive's employment with HFC is presumed to
have been made and conceived by Executive during the course of Executive's
employment with HFC, subject to proof to the contrary by good faith, written and
duly corroborated records establishing that such was conceived and made
following Executive's resignation or termination of employment.

         This Agreement does not obligate Executive to assign to HFC any
invention, discovery, improvement or design for which no equipment, supplies,
facility or trade secret information of HFC or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliated entity was used and which was developed entirely on Executive's own
time, and (a) which does not relate (i) directly to the business of HFC or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity, or (ii) to HFC's or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliated entity's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development; or (b) which does not result from any work performed by Executive
for HFC or any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity.

         5.03    Prior Inventions. Attached to this Agreement and initialed by
both parties is a list of all of the inventions, by description, if any, in
which Executive possesses any right, title, or interest prior to Executive's
employment by HFC and the execution of this Agreement, which are not subject to
the terms of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         6.01    Irreparable Harm. The parties acknowledge that HFC will suffer
irreparable harm if Executive breaches any provision of Articles III, IV or V
either during or after Executive's employment with HFC. Accordingly, HFC shall
be entitled, in addition to any other right and remedy it may have, at law or
equity, to a temporary restraining order and/or injunction, without the posting
of a bond or other security, or with the posting of a minimal bond or security
where required by applicable law, enjoining or restraining Executive from any
violation of Articles III, IV or V and Executive hereby consents to HFC's right
to seek the issuance of such injunction. If any rights or restrictions contained
in Articles III, IV or V are deemed to be unenforceable by reason of the extent,
duration or geographic scope, or other provision thereof, the parties
contemplate that the applicable court will reduce such extent, duration or
geographic scope or other provisions and enforce the provisions in their reduced
form for all purposes in the manner contemplated by such Articles.

         6.02    Survival of Provisions. The parties agree that the provisions
of Articles III, IV, V and VI shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and Executive's resignation or the termination of Executive's employment for any
reason.

         6.03    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed according to
the laws of the State of Minnesota, without reference to its conflicts of law
provisions.

         6.04    Captions. The captions set forth in this Agreement are for

any way limiting or amplifying the terms and conditions hereof.

         6.05    No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants
to HFC that he is not under, or bound to be under in the future, any obligation
