     -------------
Employee  as  part  of  the  trade name or trademark of Employer if it should be

the  Employee  is  a  part, that is adopted by Employer during the employment of
Employee  may  be  used  thereafter  by  Employer  for as long as Employer deems
advisable.

     (b)     Employee  shall not, either during the term of this agreement or at
any  time  thereafter,  use  or  permit the use of his name in the trade name or
trademark  of  any  other  enterprise  if  that other enterprise is engaged in a
business similar in any respect to that conducted by Employer, unless that trade
name  or  trademark  clearly  indicates  that the other enterprise is a separate
entity  entirely  distinct  from and not to be confused with Employer and unless
that trade name or trademark excludes any words or symbols stating or suggesting
prior  or  current  affiliation  or  connection  by that other enterprise or its
employees  with  Employer.
