[BACK TO REGULAR]

Ownership of Property: All Confidential Information shall be the sole property of the

Firm and, where applicable, its customers. You agree that upon termination of your

employment for any reason, or upon request, you will deliver to the Firm all Confidential

Information as well as all documents, data, records and communications, and all

drawings, models, prototypes or similar visual or conceptual presentations of any type,

and all copies or duplicates provided to you or obtained by you during your employment.

You are also required to return all equipment that belongs to the Firm, upon termination

of your employment or upon request.

Nonsolicitation: During your employment and for a period of two years immediately

following your employment, you shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in

the solicitation or attempt to solicit fellow employees to work for any business that is in

competition in any manner whatsoever with the business Firm.

It is our policy to strictly avoid using the proprietary or confidential information of other

employers. You warrant that you will honor all obligations you may have to previous

employers to respect and keep confidential their trade secrets, and you further warrant

that you can perform the duties of the job we have agreed on without violating the trade

secrets of any previous employer.

Terms of Employment: We hope that our association will continue for a substantial

period of time, but we recognize that the future is inherently uncertain and that

assurances of permanent or continuing employment are not feasible. Accordingly, in

accordance with our standard policy, your employment will be "at-will". In other words,

either you or the Firm can terminate it at any time for any reason, with or without cause,

by giving two weeks' notice to the other party or pay in lieu thereof. However, the Firm

is not required to give you notice of termination if you are terminated for cause. This

term of employment is not subject to change or modification of any kind except if in

writing and signed by you and the Firm and nothing herein shall be construed as a

modification of your at-will employment relationship with the Firm.

Legal Authorization to Work:

Your employment with the Firm is contingent on

presenting and maintaining legal authorization to work in the United States.

Dispute Resolution: You and the Firm ("the Parties") agree that any dispute or claim,

whether based on contract or tort or otherwise, relating to or arising out of the

employment relationship between them, including the termination of that relationship,

shall be resolved under the following procedures:

The party claiming to be aggrieved shall furnish to the other party a written

statement of the grievance identifying any witnesses or documents that

support the grievance and the relief requested or proposed.
