                     --------------------------
           4.01(a), Employee shall be deemed to be engaged in or to have a
           Financial Interest in a business if Employee is an employee, officer,
           director, consultant, independent contractor, proprietor, or partner
           of any person, partnership, corporation, trust or other entity which
           is engaged in such business, or if Employee directly or indirectly

           Employee's immediate family beneficially owns an equity interest, or
           interest convertible into equity, in any such entity; provided,
           however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Employee or a member
           of Employee's immediate family from owning, for the purpose of
           passive investment, less than 2% of any class of securities of any
           publicly held corporation.

           (b)  Non-Competition After Employment.  Employee agrees that for a
                --------------------------------
     period of one (1) year after termination of Employee's employment, for
     whatever reason, ("Non-Competition Termination Date"), Employee shall not,
     directly or indirectly, whether or not for compensation, and whether or not
     as an employee, be engaged in or have any Financial Interest in any
     business competing with the business of the Company (or with any business
     of any Affiliate for which the Employee performed services hereunder)
     within any region or locality in which the Company or such Affiliate is
     then doing business or marketing its products, as the business of the
     Company or such Affiliates may then be constituted.

           (c)  Non-Solicitation of Employees.  Employee agrees that during
                -----------------------------
     employment and for the period after employment up to and including the

     indirectly, solicit for hire any person then employed by Company or
     otherwise encourage any employee to leave

     engaged during Employee's employment and "customers" means customers of
     Company that Employee dealt with during Employee's employment and

     provision is reasonable in scope, is necessary to protect Company's
     goodwill and legitimate business interests, is not harmful to the public
     interest, and will not impose any undue hardship on Employee or affect
     Employee's ability to earn a living or otherwise engage in any chosen
     occupation and career.

     or entity's purposes or benefit, any Company trade secret, confidential
     business information, or other confidential Company information such as:
     designs, specifications, techniques, methods, concepts, inventions,
     developments, discoveries, improvements, or data of the Company which has

     have otherwise learned but for Employee's employment with the Company), and
     shall use Employee's best efforts to prevent the publication or disclosure
     by any other person or entity of any such Confidential Information While
     Employee is employed by the Company, all documents and Confidential
     Information compiled, received, held, or used by Employee in connection
     with the business of the Company shall remain the Company's property, and
