     the parties hereto with respect to matters arising out of this
     agreement, you agree that you will not, at any time during your
     employment with the Company or after such employment, whether

     or related documentation within the Company, you must
     notify your department manager.  If you make, acquire or

     will" employment relationship.  This means that either you or

     with or without cause or notice.  If the Company terminates your
     employment without cause, the Company agrees to pay you a

     time of termination.  This at-will aspect of your employment,
     which includes the right of the Company to transfer, discipline,
