Corporation or the business of any customer of or supplier or contractor to
Corporation. Confidential Information is to be broadly construed and includes,

suppliers or contractors ("together, "Contractors") to Consultant in the course
of retention by Corporation as well as information developed or learned by
Consultant during the course of retention; (ii) information that has or could

Confidential Information. Consultant agrees to use best efforts to ensure that

conceives, reduces to practice or learns of, either individually or jointly with

signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain or enforce
any patent, copyright or other right or protection relating to any Development,
whether due to mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, Consultant
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Corporation and each of its duly
authorized officers as its agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in its
behalf and stead to execute and file and such document and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance and enforcement of
such patents, copyrights or other rights or protections with the same force and
effect as if executed and delivered by Consultant.

        (c) Except with respect to inventions which are to be assigned to or

Corporation.

        (d) Consultant will make full and prompt disclosure to Corporation of
all Developments made, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by Consultant,
either individually or jointly with others, during the term of this Agreement.
Consultant shall attach to this Agreement a schedule containing a complete
listing of any Developments relevant to its retention by Corporation that were
made, conceived or first reduced to practice by Consultant alone or jointly with
others prior to its retention by Corporation, or which are covered by the
exclusion set forth in (c) above, and that Consultant desires to remove from the
operation of this Agreement. Corporation agrees to hold any disclosure in such
schedule in confidence.

        (e) Corporation recognizes that Consultant and its employees and agents
are engaged in activities with various entities independent of those pertinent
to the Corporation. Nothing in the Agreement is intended to be construed to
limit, interfere, or otherwise create an interest by the Corporation in the
Consultant's activities, or those of its clients, employees and/or agents.

7.      RETURN OF COMPANY MATERIALS

        Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Consultant agrees
promptly and without request to deliver to Corporation all originals and copies
of notebooks, documents, reports, flies, samples, mailing lists, computer
programs and other records and data which are then in Consultant's possession or
under its control and which pertain to its retention by Corporation or include
Confidential Information or Developments, and to return to Corporation any other
tangible personal property owned by Corporation, unless such return is waived in
writing by Corporation. Provided such retention is disclosed to Corporation and
subject to the Consultant's confidentiality obligations, Consultant may retain
copies of any such records required to be retained by Consultant to satisfy tax
reporting or other legal requirements. Consultant recognizes that the
unauthorized taking of any of Corporation's trade secrets is a crime and could
also result in civil liability to Corporation.

        Consultant agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it will not,
except for Corporation or with the written consent of an executive officer of
Corporation, engage or have an interest, directly or indirectly, in any other
business or venture which would interfere with the performance of its
obligations to Corporation or which competes with any material part of
Corporation's business. However, this restriction shall not prevent Consultant
