**NOW,
      THEREFORE,** in
      consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement
      (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties
      hereto), the parties hereto agree as follows:




**1.**
            **TERMINATION**




1.1 The
      Employee’s employment with the Employer was terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.2
      of the Employment Agreement, effective at the close of business on the
      Termination Date.




**2.**
            **RETURN
                OF PROPERTY**




2.1 The
      Employee hereby certifies that he has returned to the Employer all property
      of
      the Employer in the Employee’s possession, including, without limitation, all
      keys, business cards, computer hardware, including, without limitation,
      Blackberry units, printers, mice and other hardware accessories, and computer

      that the Employee may keep. The Employee hereby further certifies that he has
      returned to the Employer, or destroyed, all tangible material embodying
      Confidential Information (defined below) in any form whatsoever, including,
      without limitation, all paper copy copies, summaries and excerpts of
      Confidential Information and all electronic media or records containing or

      information of, or relating to, the Employer that is not generally known to
      the
      public, whether of a technical, business, financial or other nature, including,
      without limitation, trade secrets, know-how and information relating to the
      technology, customers, business plans, sales plans, promotional or marketing

**3.**
            **SEVERANCE**




3.1 Pursuant
      to Section 9 of the Employment Agreement, upon the execution and delivery of
      this Agreement by the Employee, the Employer shall pay to the Employee, in
      a
      lump sum, the amount of U.S.$205,000, representing twelve months’ Salary (as
      such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) and 2.5% of Salary in respect
      of the Employee’s entitlement to Benefits (as such term is defined in the
      Employment Agreement).







3.2 It
      is
      understood that management of the Employer intends to recommend to the board
      of
      directors of the Employer (the **“Board”** )
      that
      the Employer pay to the Employee an amount representing the amount of bonus
      remuneration that the Employee would have received during 2005, had his
      employment with the Corporation not been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.2
      of
      the Employment Agreement, prorated to the Termination Date (the **“Bonus
      Amount”** ).
      The
      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the decision to pay him the Bonus Amount,
      or not to pay him the Bonus Amount, resides within the sole and absolute
      discretion of the Board and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
      to
      obligate the Employer to pay the Employee the Bonus Amount.

                FUTURE ACTIONS**




5.1 The
      Employee represents, warrants and covenants that he will not file any, and,
      if
      applicable, will withdraw all, complaints, charges, suits or grievances against
      the Employer or its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any of their respective
      officers, directors, shareholders, agents, servants, representatives,
      underwriters, successors, heirs and assigns, with any governmental agency or
      court, and the Employee further agrees that neither he nor any person,
      organization or any other entity acting on his behalf will file, or cause or
      permit to be filed, any other complaint, charge, suit or grievance against
      the
      Employer at any time hereafter involving any matter occurring or arising in
      the
      past up to the date of this Agreement. In the event of breach of this
      representation, warranty and covenant by the Employee, he will return
      immediately, in full, all payments made to him pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof
      and, if any, Section 3.2 hereof. Furthermore, in the event of such breach,
