property of the Company or its customers, as the case may be, and will at all

effect notwithstanding any breach or repudiation or any alleged breach or
repudiation of this Agreement by the Company.

 
 
2.  
Intellectual Property

 
(a)  
Ownership. All Developments will be the exclusive property of the Company and
the Company will have sole discretion to deal with Developments. For greater
certainty, all Developments created during the Period of employment by the
Employee for the Company is a work for hire of which the Company is the first
author for copyright purposes and in respect of which all copyright will vest in
the Company. To the extent that any such rights have not or do not automatically
vest in the Company, the Employee hereby assigns and conveys all such rights to
the Company.

 
(b)  
Records. The Employee will keep complete, accurate and reasonable notes,
reference materials, data and records of all Developments in the manner and form
requested by the Company of the Employee or of its employees generally, and
agrees to immediately disclose such Developments to the Company.  All these
materials will be Confidential Information upon their creation.

 
(c)  
Moral Rights. The Employee hereby irrevocably waives all moral rights arising
under the Copyright Act (Canada) as amended (or any successor legislation of
similar effect) or similar legislation in applicable jurisdictions, or at common
law, that the Employee may have now or in the future with respect to the
Developments, including, without limitation, any rights the Employee may have to
have the Employee’s name associated with the Developments or to have the
Employee’s name not associated with the Developments, any rights the Employee
may have to prevent the alteration, translation or destruction of the
Developments, and any rights the Employee may have to control the use of the
Developments in association with any product, service, cause or
institution.  The Employee agrees that this waiver may be invoked by the
Company, and by any of its authorized agents or assignees, in respect of any of
the Developments.

 
(d)  
Further Assurances. The Employee will do all further things that may be
reasonably necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to the
foregoing.  If the Employee’s co-operation is required in order for the Company
to obtain or enforce legal protection of the Developments following the
termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)  
will provide that co-operation so long as the Company pays to the Employee
reasonable compensation for the Employee’s time at a rate to be agreed and all
out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by the Employee with the consent of the
Company in respect of such co-operation, provided that the rate will not be less
than the last base salary or compensation rate paid to the Employee by the
Company during his or her employment.

 
 
3.  
No Conflicting Obligations

 
The Employee warrants to the Company that:
 
(a)  
the performance of the Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company will not
breach any agreement to which the Employee is a party or other obligation of the
Employee to keep confidential the proprietary information of any third party;
and

 
(b)  
the Employee is not bound by any agreement with or obligation to any third party
that conflicts with the Employee’s obligations as an employee of the Company or
that may affect the Company’s interest in the Developments.

 
The Employee will not, in the performance of his or her duties as an employee of
the Company:
 
(a)

information or other proprietary information of any third party; or

 
(b)  
knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

 
 
4.  
Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation

 
(a)  
Non-Competition. The Employee acknowledges that employment by the Company will
give the Employee access to the confidential information and intellectual
property relating to the Company, and that the Employee’s knowledge of that
confidential information and intellectual property will enable the Employee to
put the Company at a significant competitive disadvantage if the Employee is
employed or engaged by or becomes involved in a Competitive Business in the
United States and Canada and such other countries as the Company may determine
from time to time. Accordingly, the Employee will not while employed or engaged
by the Company and for a period of nine (9) months after the termination of the
Employee’s employment with the Company howsoever arising, directly or
indirectly, individually or in partnership or in conjunction with any other
Person:

 
(b)  
be engaged, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, including, without
limitation, either individually or in partnership, jointly or in conjunction
with any other person, or as an employee, consultant, adviser, principal, agent,
member or proprietor in any Competitive Business in Canada, the United States
and such other countries as the Company may determine and notify the Employee
from time to time;

 
(c)  
advise, invest in, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of, or
otherwise have any other financial or other interest (including an interest by
way of royalty or other compensation arrangements) in or in respect of any
Person which carries on a Competitive Business in Canada, the United States and
such other countries as the Company may determine and notify the Employee from
time to time;

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)  
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section 5, nothing herein shall
prevent the Employee from owning not more than five percent of the issued shares
of a corporation, the shares of which are listed on a recognized stock exchange
or traded in the over-the-counter market in the United States or Canada, which
carries on a Competitive Business.

 
For greater certainty, the Employee’s obligations under this section 5 are in
addition to the obligations respecting disclosure and use of Confidential
Information as set out otherwise in this Agreement.
 
Further, the Employee acknowledges that the Company may in its absolute
discretion amend this Agreement from time to time to reflect the additional
countries in which the Company is then carrying on business.
 
(e)  
No Solicitation of Customers, Partners and Suppliers. The Employee acknowledges
the importance to the business carried on by the Company of the customer,
partners and supplier relationships developed by it and the unique opportunity
that the Employee’s employment and the Employee’s access to the confidential
information offers to interfere with these relationships. Accordingly, the
Employee will not while employed or engaged by the Company and for a period of
twelve (12) months after the termination of the Employee’s employment with the
Company howsoever arising, directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any person
who the Employee knows to be a prospective, current or former customer, partner
or supplier of the Company for the purpose of selling to the customer, selling
to or partnering with the partner or buying from the supplier any products or
services that are the same as or substantially similar to, or in any way
competitive with, the products or services sold or purchased by the Company
during the Employee’s employment or at the end thereof, as the case may be.

 
(f)  
No Solicitation of Employees. The Employee acknowledges the importance to the
business carried on by the Company of the human resources engaged and developed
by it and the unique access that the Employee’s employment offers to interfere
with these resources. Accordingly, the Employee will not while employed or
engaged by the Company and for a period of eighteen (18) months after the
termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company howsoever arising,
induce or solicit, attempt to induce or solicit or assist any third party in
inducing or soliciting (a) any employee or consultant of the Company to leave
the Company or (b) any employee or consultant of the Company to accept
employment or engagement elsewhere.

 
(g)  
Independent Covenants. Each of the foregoing sections 5(a), (b) and (c), will be
construed as being an agreement independent of any other provisions in this
Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action the Employee may have
or assert against the Company, whether based on this Agreement or otherwise,
will not constitute a defence to the enforcement by the Company of any of the
covenants and agreements in the foregoing sections.

 
6.  
Warranties, Covenants and Remedies

 
(a)  
The obligations of the Employee as set forth in this Agreement will be deemed to
have

 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)  
commenced as of the date on which the Employee was first employed by the
Company.  The Employee warrants that the Employee has not, to date, breached any
of the obligations set forth in any of those sections.  Any breach of those
sections by the Employee will constitute just cause for immediate termination of
the Employee’s employment or engagement by the Company.

 
(c)  
In addition to the foregoing, the Employee warrants to the Company that (a) the
performance of the Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company will not
breach any confidentiality, proprietary rights, non competition or non
solicitation (of employees, customers or suppliers) agreements or other
obligations with any third party, including any employment agreements with
former employers, and  (b) the Employee is not bound by any agreement with or
obligation to any third party, including any employment agreement with a former
employer, that conflicts with the Employee’s obligations as an employee of the
Company.

 
(d)  
The Employee understands that the Company has expended significant financial
resources in developing its products, services, intellectual property and
confidential information.  Accordingly, a breach by the Employee of this
Agreement could result in unfair competition with the Company and could result
in the Company and its shareholders suffering irreparable harm that is not
capable of being calculated and that cannot be fully or adequately compensated
by the recovery of damages alone.  Accordingly, the Employee agrees that the
Company will be entitled to interim and permanent injunctive relief, specific
performance and other equitable remedies, in addition to any other relief to
which the Company may become entitled.

 
(e)  
The Employee’s obligations under this Agreement are to remain in effect in
accordance with each of their terms and will exist and continue in full force
and effect despite any breach or repudiation, or alleged breach or repudiation,
of this Agreement or the Employee’s employment (including, without limitation,
the Employee’s wrongful dismissal) by the Company.

 
7.           Computer and Network Protection Rules
 
The Employee acknowledges that as a user of the computers and related systems of
the Company and the Company’s links to the INTERNET and subscriptions to on-line
services, the Employee MUST comply with the Company’s rules and policies, which
may be amended from time to time.  Violation of any of these rules is grounds
for discipline up to and including immediate dismissal for Just
Cause.  Violations of these Rules may also subject the Employee to penalties or
proceedings under civil law, copyright law and criminal law.
 

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This Agreement is to be attached to and forms an essential part of the Company’s
employment agreement with the Employee. If during the employee’s period of
employment the Company implements new standard rules or policies approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company on the matters dealt with in this Agreement
applicable to all employees, the Employee will be bound by the new rules and
policies and the obligations hereunder will be automatically amended from that
time forward to conform with the new rules and policies applicable to the
Employee.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have executed this Agreement.
 
SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED
I have read, understand and agree to these terms and conditions.
