customers or any data on or relating to past, present or prospective clients or customers or any other confidential information relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of Company, made known to Employee or learned or
acquired by Employee while in the employ of Company. 
  
 (c) Any
and all writing, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and/or techniques which Employee may make, conceive, discover or develop, either solely or jointly with any other person or persons, at any time during the term of this Agreement,
whether during working hours or at any other time and whether at the request or upon the suggestion of Company or otherwise, which relate to or are useful in connection with any business now or hereafter carried on or contemplated by Company,

techniques, and shall do everything necessary or desirable to vest the absolute title thereto in Company. Employee shall write and prepare all specifications and procedures regarding such inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and
techniques and other aid and assist 

 Company so that Company can prepare and present applications for copyright or Letters Patent therefor and can secure such
copyright or Letters Patent wherever possible, as well as reissues, renewals, and extensions thereof, and can obtain the record title to such copyright or patents so that Company shall be the sole and absolute owner thereof in all countries in which
it may desire to have copyright or patent protection. Employee shall not be entitled to any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all such writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques,

violation of any of these restrictions, Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other
benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Company may be entitled. 
  
 (e) Employee agrees that if any or any portion of the foregoing covenants or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of such covenant or covenants shall not be affected and the remaining covenant or covenants shall then be given full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portion(s). If the covenant is held to be unenforceable
because of the area covered, the duration thereof or the scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration and/or scope thereof, and the covenant shall then be
enforceable in its reduced form. 
  
 (f) If Employee violates any
of the restrictions contained in the foregoing subparagraph (a), the restrictive period shall not run in favor of Employee from the time of the commencement of any violation until such time as the violation shall be cured by Employee to the
satisfaction of Company.
