use (for myself or another) or disclose any Confidential Information for so long as it shall remain proprietary

Company to apply for, obtain, maintain and enforce U.S. and foreign patents therefore, but without expense

6. I agree to devote my skill and best effort during the period of my employment with the Company to such

duties as may be assigned to me, to diligently work exclusively to further the best interests of the Company

during the period of my employment, and to comply with the policies and procedures of the Company. I fur-

ther agree that I shall not work for, or directly or indirectly in any way assist, a competitor against the best

interests of the Company while in the employ of the Company.

stricken, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

minated by the Company at any time and for any reason. I understand that any oral or written statements to

the contrary, unless such written statement is signed by an officer of the Company, are hereby expressly dis-

avowed and should not be relied upon by any prospective or existing employee.

ing the subject matter hereof, this Agreement shall be controlling.
