Severance Period.

       

      c.           Sole Obligations of
Company.  Company shall have no other contractual obligations

      5.           
 Cooperation
Following Termination.

       

      Executive
agrees that, following notice of termination of his/her employment with Company,
he/she will cooperate fully with Company in all matters relating to the
completion of his/her pending work on behalf of Company and the orderly
transition of such work to such other officer as Company may
designate.  Executive further agrees that during and following the
termination of his/her employment with Company, s/he will cooperate fully with
Company as to any and all claims, controversies, disputes or complaints over
which he has any knowledge other than his or her employment relationship with
Company; provided,
however, Executive will be reimbursed by Company for any out of pocket
expenses incurred pursuant to his/her duties under this Section 5 and
reasonably compensated for his/her time.  Such cooperation includes,
but is not limited to, providing Company with all information known to him/her
related to such claims, controversies, disputes or complaints and appearing and
giving testimony in any forum.

       

      6.        
    Confidential
Information.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      a.           Company
Information.  Executive acknowledges that during the course of
employment, Executive will have access to information about Company and that
Executive's employment with Company shall bring Executive into close contact
with proprietary information of Company.  In recognition of the
foregoing, Executive agrees at all times during and following Executive's
employment with Company, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the
benefit of Company, or to intentionally disclose to any person, firm,
corporation or other entity without written authorization of Company, any
"Confidential Information" of Company which Executive obtains or
creates.  Further, Executive shall not solicit customers, suppliers or
vendors of Company to compete, directly or indirectly, therewith following the
conclusion of his employment. Executive understands that "Confidential Information"
means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or
know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products,
services, suppliers, customer lists, prices and costs, markets, software,
developments, inventions, laboratory notebooks, processes, formulas, technology,
designs, drawing, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing,
licenses, finances, budgets or other business information disclosed to Executive
by Company in writing or by drawings of parts or equipment, or created by
Executive during the period of Executive 's employment (the "Employment
Period").  Executive understands that "Confidential
Information" includes information pertaining to any aspects of Company's
business which is either information not known by actual or potential
competitors of Company or is proprietary information of Company or its customers
or suppliers, whether of a technical nature or otherwise.  Executive
further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the
foregoing items which have become publicly known and made generally available
through no wrongful act of Executive.

       

      b.           Third Party
Information. Executive recognizes that Company has received and in the
future will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties
subject to a duty on Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such
information and to use such information only for certain limited
purposes.  Executive agrees to hold all such confidential or
proprietary information in confidence and not to intentionally disclose it to
any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out
my work for Company consistent with Company's agreement with such third
party.

       

      7.            
Inventions.

       

      a.           Inventions Retained and
Licensed.  Executive represents and warrants to Company that
there are no inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
improvements, or trade secrets which were made by Executive prior to the
commencement of his/her employment with the Company under this Agreement
(collectively, "Prior
Invention(s)"), which belong solely to Executive or belong to Executive
jointly with another, which relate in any way to any of Company's proposed
businesses, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to
Company hereunder.  If, in the course of the Employment Period,
Executive incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior
Invention owned by Executive, Company is hereby granted and shall have a
non-exclusive, non-royalty-based, license to make, have made, copy, modify, make
derivative works of, use, sell and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as
part of or in connection with such Company product, process or
machine.

       

      b.           Assignment of
Inventions.  Executive agrees that Executive will promptly make
full written disclosure to Company, will hold in trust for the right and benefit
of Company, and hereby assigns to Company, or its designee, all rights, title
and interests throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original
works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade
secrets, whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright or similar
laws, which Executive may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to
practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice during
the Employment Period that (i) relate at the time of conception or development
to the actual or demonstrably proposed business or research and development
activities of Company; (ii) result from or relate to any work performed for
Company during normal business hours; and (iii) are developed through the use of
Confidential Information (collectively, "Inventions").  Executive
further acknowledges that all Inventions, which are made by Executive (solely or
jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of Executive’s
employment with Company, are "works made for hire" and are compensated by the
Base Salary, unless regulated otherwise by a separate agreement between the
“Company” and the “Executive”.

       

      c.           Inventions on Executive's
Own Time.  The provisions of Section 7(a) and 7(b)
above do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions
of California Labor Code §2870, which provides as follows:§ 2870 - Invention on
Own time - Exemption from Agreement:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        (1).  Any
provision in an employment agreement which provides that an Executive shall
assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or
her employer shall not apply to an invention that the Executive developed
entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions
that either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the employer; or(ii) result from any work performed
by the Executive for the employer.

         

        (2).  To the
extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an Executive
to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned
under subdivision (a) of Section 2870, the provision is against the public
policy of this state and is unenforceable.

      

       

      d.          Patent
and Copyright Rights.  Executive agrees to assist Company, or
its designee, at Company's expense, in every reasonable way to secure Company's
rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, mask work
rights, moral rights, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in
any and all countries, including the disclosure to Company of all pertinent
information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications,
specifications, oaths, assignments, recordation’s, and all other instruments
which are necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain and transfer such
rights and in order to assign and convey to Company, its successors, assigns and
nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such
Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights, or other intellectual
property rights relating thereto.

       

      8.            
Return of Company
Documents.  Executive agree that, at the time of termination of
employment with Company for any reason, Executive will deliver to Company (and
will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all
Confidential Information and all other documents, materials, information or
property belonging to Company, its successors or assigns. Executive further
agrees that any property situated on Company's premises and owned by Company,
including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is
subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without
notice.

      9.            
Injunctive
Relief.  Executive expressly acknowledge that any breach or
threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of
this Agreement will result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to
Company.  Therefore, Executive hereby agrees that, in addition to any
other remedy that may be available to Company, Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief by a court of
appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach of threatened breach of the
terms of this Agreement.
