leave earned and accumulated at the time the employment relationship terminates.
6. INVENTION, TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 DEFINITIONS
6.1.1 Invention Defined. As used herein "Invention" means
inventions, discoveries, concepts, and ideas, whether patentable or
copyrightable or not, including but not limited to processes, methods, formulas,
techniques, materials, devices, designs, programs (including computer programs),
computer graphics, apparatus, products, as well as improvements thereof or know-
how related thereto, relating to any present or anticipated business or
activities of Employer.
6.1.2 Trade Secret Defined. As used herein "Trade Secret" means,
without limitation, any document or information relating to Employer's products,
processes or services, including documents and information relating to
Inventions, and to the research, development, engineering or manufacture of
Inventions, and to Employer's purchasing, customer or supplier lists, which
<PAGE>
documents or information have been disclosed to Employee or known to Employee as
a consequence of or through Employee's employment by Employer (including
documents, information or Inventions conceived, originated, discovered or
developed by Employee), which is not generally known in the relevant trade or
industry.
6.2 INVENTIONS
6.2.1 Disclosure. Employee shall disclose promptly to Employer
each Invention, whether or not reduced to practice, which is conceived or
learned by Employee (either alone or jointly with others) during the term of his
employment with Employer. Employee shall disclose in confidence to Employer all
patent applications filed by or on behalf of Employee during the term of his
employment and for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Any disclosure of an
Invention, or any patent application, made within one (1) year after termination
of employment shall be presumed to relate to an Invention made during Employee's
term of Employment with Employer, unless Employee clearly proves otherwise.
6.2.2 Employer Property; Assignment. Employee acknowledges and
agrees that all Inventions which are discovered, conceived, developed, made,
produced or prepared by Employee (alone or in conjunction with others) during
the duration of Employee's employment with Employer shall be the sole property
of Employer. Said property rights of Employer include without limitation all
domestic and foreign patent rights, rights of registration or other protection
under the patent and copyright laws, and all other rights pertaining to the
Inventions. Employee further agrees that all services, products and Inventions
that directly or indirectly result from engagement with Company shall be deemed
"works for hire" as that term is defined in Title 17 of the United States Codes,
and accordingly all rights associated therewith shall vest in the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee hereby assigns to Employer all of
Employee's right, title and interest in any such services, products and
Inventions, in the event any such services, products and Inventions shall be
determined not to constitute "works for hire."
6.2.3 Exclusion Notice. The Assignment by Employee of Inventions
under this Agreement does not apply to any Inventions which are owned or
controlled by Employee prior to the commencement of employment of Employee by
Employer (all of which are set forth on Exhibit "A" hereto). Additionally,
Employee is not required to assign an idea or invention where the invention or
idea meets all of the following criteria; namely if the invention or idea: (i)
was created or conceived without the use of any of Employer's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, and (ii) was developed
entirely on Employee's own time, and (iii) does not relate to the business of
Employer, and (iv) does not relate to Employer's actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, and (v) does not result from any work
performed by Employee for Employer.
6.2.4 Patents and Copyrights; Attorney-in Fact. Both before and
after termination of this Agreement (and with reasonable compensation paid
<PAGE>
by Employer to Employee after termination), Employee agrees to assist the
Employer to apply for, obtain and enforce patents on, and to apply for, obtain
and enforce copyright protection and registration of, the Inventions described
in Section 6.2.2 in any and all countries. To that end, Employee shall (at
Employer's request) without limitation, testify in any proceeding, and execute
any documents and assignments determined to be necessary or convenient for use
in applying for, obtaining, registering and enforcing patent or copyright
protection involving any of the Inventions. Employee hereby irrevocably appoints
Employer, and its duly authorized officers and agents, as Employee's agent and
attorney-in-fact, to act for and in behalf of Employee in filing all patent
applications, applications for copyright protection and registration,
amendments, renewals, and all other appropriate documents in any way related to
the Inventions described in Section 6.2.2.
6.3 TRADE SECRETS
6.3.1 Acknowledgment of Proprietary Interest. Employee recognizes
the proprietary interest of Employer in any Trade Secrets of Employer. Employee
acknowledges and agrees that any and all Trade Secrets of Employer, whether
developed by Employee alone or in conjunction with others or otherwise, shall be
and are the property of Employer.
6.3.2 Covenant Not to Divulge Trade Secrets. Employee acknowledges
and agrees that Employer is entitled to prevent the disclosure of Trade Secrets
of Employer. As a portion of the consideration for the employment of Employee
and for the compensation being paid to Employee by Employer, Employee agrees at
all times during the term of the employment by Employer and thereafter to hold
in strictest confidence, and not to use, disclose or allow to be disclosed to
any person, firm, or corporation, Trade Secrets of Employer, including Trade
Secrets developed by Employee, other than disclosures to persons engaged by
Employer to further the business of Employer, and other than use in the pursuit
of the business of Employer.
6.3.3 Confidential Information of Others. Employee represents and
warrants that if Employee has any confidential information belonging to others,
Employee will not use or disclose to Employer any such information or documents.
Employee represents that his employment with Employer will not require him to
violate any obligation to or confidence with any other party.
6.4 NO ADVERSE USE Employee will not at any time use Employer's Trade
Secrets or Inventions in any manner which may directly or indirectly have an
adverse effect upon Employer's business, nor will Employee perform any acts
which would tend to reduce Employer's proprietary value in Employer's Trade
Secrets or Inventions.
6.5 RETURN OF MATERIALS AT TERMINATION In the event of any
termination of Employee's employment, Employee will promptly deliver to Employer
all materials, property, documents, data, and other information
<PAGE>
belonging to Employer or pertaining to Trade Secrets or Inventions. Employee
shall not take any materials, property, documents or other information, or any
reproduction or excerpt thereof, belonging to Employer or containing or
pertaining to any Trade Secrets or Inventions.
6.6 REMEDIES UPON BREACH In the event of any breach by Employee of
the provision in this Section 6, Employer shall be entitled, if it so elects, to
institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction,
either in law or in equity, to enjoin Employee from violating any of the terms
of this Section 6, to enforce the specific performance by Employee of any of the
terms of this Section 6, and to obtain damages for any of them, but nothing
herein contained shall be construed to prevent such remedy or combination of
remedies as Employer may elect to invoke. The failure of Employer to promptly
institute legal action upon any breach of this Section 6 shall not constitute a
waiver of that or any other breach hereof.
7. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE Employee agrees that, during Employee's
employment, Employee will not directly or indirectly compete with Employer in
any way, and that Employee will not act as an officer, director, employee,
consultant, shareholder, lender or agent of any other entity which is engaged in
any business of the same nature as, or in competition with, the business in
which Employer is now engaged, or in which Employer becomes engaged during the
term of Employee's employment, or which is involved in science or technology
which is similar to Employer's science or technology.
8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1 ATTORNEYS' FEES In the event of any dispute or breach arising
with respect to this Agreement, the party prevailing in any negotiations or
proceedings for the resolution or enforcement thereof shall be entitled to
recover from the losing party reasonable expenses, attorneys' fees and costs
incurred therein.
8.2 AMENDMENTS No amendment or modification of the terms or
conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both
parties hereto. There shall be no implied-in-fact contracts modifying the terms
of this Agreement.

under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of Employer. Employee shall not be entitled to assign any
of Employee's rights or obligations under this Agreement.
<PAGE>
8.5 WAIVER Either party's failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision,
or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision
of this Agreement.
8.6 SEVERABLE PROVISIONS The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and if any or more provisions may be determined to be judicially
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
be binding and enforceable.
