Information, including trade secrets and/or data, in the strictest confidence
and will never, without prior written consent of NET4MUSIC, (directly or
indirectly) disclose, assign, transfer, convey, communicate to or use for his

regardless of the reason for the EXECUTIVE's termination, whether voluntary or
involuntary. EXECUTIVE further promises and agrees that he will faithfully abide
by any rules, policies, practices or procedures existing or which may be
established by NET4MUSIC for insuring the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information, including, but not limited to, rules, policies, practices or

lists, prospective or potential customer lists, or price lists, and will take

NET4MUSIC, no such documents, data, writings, recordings, or reproduction in any
form which may have been entrusted or obtained by him during the course of his
employment or to which he had access, possession, custody or control, except

Confidential Information in recorded form in his possession, custody or control
and shall also deliver any and all property, devices, parts, mock-ups, and
finished or unfinished machinery or equipment in his possession, custody or
control which belongs to NET4MUSIC. EXECUTIVE shall also deliver, upon his
termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, all records, drawings,
blueprints, notes, notebooks, memoranda, specifications and documents or dates,
in any form, which contain Confidential Information.

        4.04   IRREPARABLE HARM. The PARTIES acknowledge that NET4MUSIC will
suffer irreparable harm if the EXECUTIVE breaches Paragraphs 4.02 or 4.03,
either during or after his employment. Accordingly, NET4MUSIC shall be entitled,
in addition to any other right and remedy it may have, at law or equity, to a
temporary restraining order and/or injunction, without the posting of a bond or
other security, enjoining or restraining the EXECUTIVE from any violation of
Paragraphs 4.02 or 4.03, and the EXECUTIVE hereby consents to NET4MUSIC's right
to seek the issuance of such injunction. If NET4MUSIC institutes any such action
against EXECUTIVE, alone or in conjunction with any third party or parties to
enforce any terms or provisions of Paragraphs 4.02 or 4.03, then the party that
prevails in such action shall be entitled to receive from the opposing party (or
parties) in the action the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in such action and all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith in accordance with Paragraph 8.02.

               competitor, call upon or communicate with or attempt to call upon
               or communicate with any customer or potential or prospective
               customer of NET4MUSIC with whom EXECUTIVE (or other employees of
               NET4MUSIC under his supervision), during the 12 months prior to
               his termination, had contact, for the purpose (either directly or
               indirectly) of soliciting, selling or buying any services,
               merchandise or products similar to or competitive with the
               services, merchandise or products sold or purchased by NET4MUSIC;
               and

                      (b) Without the prior written consent of NET4MUSIC,
               directly or indirectly render any services, advice or counsel as
               an owner, employee, representative, agent, independent
               contractor, consultant or in any other capacity, for any third
               party, if the rendering of such services, advice or counsel
               involves, may involve, requires or is likely to result in the use
               or disclosure by EXECUTIVE of any Confidential Information.

        5.02   IRREPARABLE HARM. The PARTIES acknowledge that NET4MUSIC will
suffer irreparable harm if EXECUTIVE breaches Paragraph 5.01. Accordingly,
NET4MUSIC shall be entitled, in addition to any other right and remedy it may
have, at law or equity, to a temporary restraining order and/or injunction,
without the posting of a bond or other security, enjoining or restraining
EXECUTIVE from any violation of Paragraph 5.01, and EXECUTIVE hereby consents to
NET4MUSIC's right to seek the issuance of such injunction. If NET4MUSIC
institutes any such action against EXECUTIVE, alone or in conjunction with any
third party or parties to enforce any terms or provisions of Paragraph 5.01,
then the party that prevails in such action shall be entitled to receive from
the opposing party (or parties) in the action the prevailing party's reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred in such action and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith in accordance with Paragraph 8.02.

        5.03   LIMIT TO EXTENT ENFORCEABLE. In the event that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of Paragraph 5.01
are unreasonable, it may limit such provision to the extent it deems reasonable,
without declaring the provision or Paragraph 5.01 invalid in its entirety. This
provision shall not be construed as an admission by NET4MUSIC, but is only
included to provide NET4MUSIC with the maximum possible protection for its
business, Confidential Information, trade secrets and data, consistent with the
right of EXECUTIVE to earn a livelihood subsequent to the termination of his
employment.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   INVENTIONS

        or

               (c) Involves the use of any time, material or facility of
        NET4MUSIC.

        6.03   EXCLUDED INVENTIONS. It is further agreed, and EXECUTIVE is
hereby so notified, that the above agreement to assign Inventions to NET4MUSIC
does not apply to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or
Confidential Information of NET4MUSIC was used, which was developed entirely on
EXECUTIVE's own time, and

               (a) Which does not relate:
                   (i)    Directly to the businesses of NET4MUSIC; or
                   (ii)   To NET4MUSIC's actual or demonstrably anticipated
               research or development; or

               (b) Which does not result from any work performed by EXECUTIVE
        for NET4MUSIC.

        6.04   PRIOR INVENTIONS. Attached to this Agreement and initialed by
both PARTIES is a list of all of the Inventions, by description, if any, in
which EXECUTIVE possesses any right, title, or interest prior to this employment
and the execution of this Agreement, which are not subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

        6.05   SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; ATTORNEY FEES. EXECUTIVE expressly
acknowledges and agrees that any violation of any terms of Paragraphs 6.01 or
6.02 may result in the issuance of a temporary restraining order and/or
injunction against EXECUTIVE to effect specific performance of the terms of
Paragraphs 6.01 or 6.02. If NET4MUSIC institutes any action against EXECUTIVE,
alone or in conjunction with any third party or parties, to enforce any term or
provision of Paragraphs 6.01 or 6.02, then the party that prevails in such
action shall be entitled to receive from the opposing party (or parties) in the
action the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such action
and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith in accordance with
Paragraph 8.02.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                           GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION

        7.01   GOVERNING LAW. The legality, validity, enforceability and
interpretation of this Agreement and the relationship of the PARTIES hereunder
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect
to the principles of conflict of laws. The PARTIES agree and acknowledge that
French law does not apply due to the fact that the principal place of business
of NET4MUSIC is in the State of Minnesota, United States of America, and due to
EXECUTIVE's position at NET4MUSIC, and does not affect EXECUTIVE's relationship
to NET4MUSIC's French subsidiary.

        7.02   JURISDICTION. Any claim, cause of action, suit or demand
allegedly arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the relationship of
the PARTIES, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located
in Hennepin County, Minnesota USA, and the PARTIES irrevocably consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objections they
may have at any time to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue. EXECUTIVE
expressly waives any rights he may have under the French Civil Code, including
but not limited to Article 14 of the French Civil Code, to bring suit against
NET4MUSIC before French Courts.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                           CERTAIN NET4MUSIC REMEDIES

        8.01   CERTAIN NET4MUSIC REMEDIES. The PARTIES acknowledge that
NET4MUSIC will suffer irreparable harm if the EXECUTIVE breaches Paragraphs
4.02, 4.03, 5.01 and/or 6.01 or 6.02 of this Agreement. Accordingly, NET4MUSIC
shall be entitled to seek any right or remedy it may have, under this Agreement
or otherwise, at law or equity, including but not limited to, an injunction,
enjoining or restraining EXECUTIVE from any violation of Paragraphs 4.02, 4.03,
5.01 and/or 6.01 or 6.02 of this Agreement.

        8.02   PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. If any party initiates or becomes a
party to a formal proceeding in law or equity, or under Article VII, involving
this Agreement, and if either party obtains a substantial portion of the relief
requested by that party (the "prevailing party"), then the non-prevailing party
shall pay all of its and the prevailing party's reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred with respect to such
proceeding. If neither party obtains a substantial portion of the relief
requested each shall bear its/his own expenses. In the event EXECUTIVE is
terminated pursuant to Paragraph 3.01 (c) and determines to challenge
NET4MUSIC's determination of cause, NET4MUSIC and EXECUTIVE shall each bear
its/his own expenses in connection with any proceeding initiated by EXECUTIVE
with respect to the determination as to "Cause".

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

        9.01   INDEMNIFICATION. As to acts or omissions of EXECUTIVE which are
within the scope of EXECUTIVE's authority as an officer, director, or employee
of NET4MUSIC, NET4MUSIC shall indemnify EXECUTIVE, and his legal representatives
and heirs, to the maximum extent permitted by Minnesota law.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        10.01   SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is personal to EXECUTIVE and
EXECUTIVE may not assign or transfer any part of his rights or duties hereunder,
or any compensation due to him hereunder, to any other person. This Agreement
may be assigned by NET4MUSIC. This Agreement is binding on any successors or
assigns of NET4MUSIC.

        10.02   WAIVER. The waiver by any party of the breach or nonperformance
of any provision of this Agreement by any other party will not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any future breach or nonperformance under any provision
of this Agreement or any similar agreement with any other employee.

        10.03   NOTICES. Any and all notices referred to herein shall be deemed
properly given only if in writing and delivered personally or sent postage

        records of NET4MUSIC, it being the duty of the EXECUTIVE to keep
        NET4MUSIC informed of his current home address at all times.

The date on which notice to NET4MUSIC or EXECUTIVE shall be deemed to have been
given if mailed as provided above shall be the date on the certified mail return

slot or left with security or administrative personnel, at EXECUTIVE's residence
by a representative of NET4MUSIC or any messenger or delivery service.

        10.04   TERM. This Agreement shall be effective from October 19, 2000,
to and including October 18, 2001 at which time the Agreement and EXECUTIVE's
employment with NET4MUSIC will be automatically renewed for a consecutive
one-year term, unless EXECUTIVE's employment is terminated pursuant to Article
III or the PARTIES have negotiated a new or amended employment agreement or
either PARTY has provided the other with written notice 90 days prior to the
termination of the term.

        10.05   MODIFICATION. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral
