on such Inventions. The Employee hereby irrevocably designates the Chief Patent
Counsel to the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute and file any
such document and to do all lawful acts necessary to apply for and obtain
patents and copyrights and to enforce the Company's rights under this paragraph.
This Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.
During the Term and for a period of one year following the
date of termination or nonrenewal for any reason (other than termination
pursuant to Section 5.l(a): (a) the Employee shall not in the United States or
in any country in which the Company shall then be doing business, directly or

employee or officer during the Term; he shall not engage in such business on his
own account; and he shall not become interested in any such business, directly
or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, director, officer,
principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, or any other relationship or
capacity; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 10 shall be
deemed to prohibit the Employee from acquiring, solely as an investment, shares
of capital stock of any public corporation; (b) neither the Employee nor any
Affiliate of the Employee shall solicit or utilize, or assist any person in
9
any way to solicit or utilize, the services, directly or indirectly, of any of

Company"). This nonsolicitation and nonutilization provision shall not apply to
Associates of the Company who have previously terminated their relationship with
the Company.
10.1 If the Employee commits a breach, or threatens to commit
a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 10, the Company shall have
the following rights and remedies:
10.1.1 The right and remedy to have the provisions of
this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity
jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or
threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Company and that
money damages shall not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and

account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies,
accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived
or received by the Employee as the result of any transactions constituting
a breach of any of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and the
Employee hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits to the
Company.
Each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the
other, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
10
other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.
10.2 If any of the covenants contained in Section 8, 9 or 10,
or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be
given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.
10.3 If any of the covenants contained in Section 8, 9 or 10,
or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such
provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making
such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of
such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be
enforceable.
10.4 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer
jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9 and 10 upon the
courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the
event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold any such
covenant wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or
otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not
bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief provided above in the
courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants, as
to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above
covenants as they relate to each state being, for this purpose, severable into
diverse and independent covenants.

extent permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses
incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding

Company shall provide, subject to its availability upon reasonable terms (which
determination shall be made by the Board) at its expense, directors and officers
