This PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
between Nature Vision, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and the
undersigned employee (the “Employee”).

1.
Purpose of Agreement.  Company and Employee recognize the importance to Company
of obtaining Employee’s loyalty and protecting Company’s rights with respect to
its business information and inventions.  Accordingly, Employee has entered into
this Agreement in consideration of continuing employment with Company and the
benefits associated with that employment and in consideration of being given
access to Company’s confidential information.

2.
Confidential Information.

 
2.1
Definition.  “Confidential Information” means any information that Employee
learns or develops during the course of employment that derives independent
economic value from being not generally known or readily ascertainable by other
persons who could obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, or any
information that Company reasonably believes to be Confidential Information.  It
includes, but is not limited to, trade secrets, customer lists, financial
information, business plans and may relate to such matters as research and
development, operations, manufacturing processes, management systems and
techniques or sales and marketing.

 
2.2
Protection of Confidential Information.  Employee will not directly or
indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information for the benefit of
anyone other than Company either during the course of Employee’s position, or at
any time after Employee ceases to be employed with Company.  Employee recognizes
that the Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of Company and
will act in such a manner as to prevent its disclosure and use by any person
unless such use is for the benefit of Company.  Employee’s obligations under
this paragraph are unconditional and will not be excused by any conduct on the
part of Company, except prior voluntary disclosure by Company of the
information.  When Employee’s employment with Company ends, Employee will
promptly turn over to Company all notes, forms, correspondence, memoranda,
notebooks, records, files, tapes, manuals, and all other items that disclose,
describe, or embody Confidential Information, including all copies,

determined not to constitute “works made for hire,” Employee assigns and
transfers to Company all right, title and interest in the Inventions.  Employee
warrants that any Invention submitted to Company by Employee will be original
and will not violate any proprietary or intellectual property right of another
