			8

		

		

		 

		the Company) is secret and is the exclusive property of the Company. Employee agrees to use the Proprietary Information only in connection with Employee’s work for the Company.

		4.2       Employee agrees to make prompt and full disclosure to the Company of all inventions, discoveries or improvements made by Employee during the term of the Agreement, solely or jointly with others, whether or not such invention, discovery or improvement will actually become the property of the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
