continuance of his employment hereunder or any time thereafter) the private
          affairs of the Company or any trade secret of the Company, to any persons other

market for the Company products and technologies with which the Company is involved.

parties to this agreement recognise that a breach by the Executive of any of the

available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled as a matter

restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Executive agrees that any work products (the “Work Products”) produced by the

	9.2  	  	The
Company acknowledges that general knowledge and experience including general techniques,
algorithms, methods and formulae not developed for the Company’s specific
application or work gained by the Executive prior to or in the course of his association
with the Company, may be used by the Executive at any time at any time prior to, during
or subsequent to his association with the Company, unless a specific agreement to the
contrary is entered into by the Executive and the Company, as long as the Executive is
not in breach of his covenants of non-competition contained herein.  

	9.3  	  	This
Agreement does not apply to any general techniques, formulae, algorithm or method for
which no equipment, supplies, facility or other resources or trade secret information of

unless such techniques, formulae, algorithms, or method related directly to the business
of the Company or the Company’s actual demonstrated anticipated research or
development.  

	9.4  	  	At any
time and all times, either during or after termination of the Executive’s
association with the Company, the Executive will promptly, on the request of the Company,
perform all such acts and execute and deliver all such documents that may be necessary to
vest in the Company the entire right, title and interest in and to any Work Product.

reasonable compensation will be paid to the Executive upon a per diem basis in addition
to reasonable travelling and accommodation expenses incurred as a result of rendering
such services.  

	9.5  	  	The
Executive hereby assigns to the Company any rights the Executive may have or acquire in
the Work Product and waives all claims whatsoever with respect to the Work Product
including any moral rights which he/she may have or acquire in the Work Product or to its

service.
