miffed that Superior got a major government supply contract away from us, and argues that this government grant merely puts us back on a level playing eld." "Daniel, I'm really bewildered here. On the one hand, as I think about it, the nancial statements will be perfectly accurate and consistent with previous years, so I don't believe that anyone could nail me on an ethics question there. But I did sign a very restrictive employment contract (see insert) that states that I can't talk to anyone. I've violated it already by talking to you, and of course David. And I'd surely be violating it, and perhaps my professional code of ethics, if I talked with the government. Heaven knows that David and I need the money and Omega's health care package, and there are 60 other employees in Hudson that need their jobs too. I'm having difculty sleeping at night, but David keeps telling me to simply ignore the issue and do what I'm told. In all other aspects, this could be a great job and, if we pull this off, Matthew says he'll cut me in for equity participation. If I quit, it won't be easy to get another job and you can be sure that Matthew would not be helpful in getting me placed." Employment contract, Deegan Chemical Inc.
