Employee during the performance of the Employee's duties pursuant to this
Agreement nor use such information for the benefit of any party other than the
Company. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the disclosure of any

rights of the Company, which the Company is entitled to protect.

5. Inventions

5.1 The term "Invention(s)" includes any and all ideas, processes, trademarks,
service marks, inventions, technology, computer hardware or software, original
works of authorship, designs, logos, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights,
products, and all improvements, know-how, rights, and claims related to the
foregoing that are conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by Employee,
alone or with others, during the Employee's employment.

5.2 The Employee agrees that any Inventions which are discovered, developed or
become known to
<PAGE>

the Employee during the time of employment with the Company will become the
property of the Company except those inventions that the employee developed
entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information and that do not:

      (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the
      invention to the Company's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated
      research or development of the Company; or

      (2) Result from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.

5.3 The Employee shall disclose promptly to the Company the development of all
Inventions and all relevant records of such Invention, which records and
Inventions will remain the sole property of the Company.

5.4 The Employee agrees that all information and records pertaining to any idea,
process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer hardware or
software, original work of authorship, design, logo, formula, discovery, patent,
copyright, product, and all improvements, know-how, rights, and claims related
to the foregoing, that the Employee does not believe to be an Invention, but
that is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by the Employee (alone or
with others) during the course of employment (or for 12 months after
termination), shall be disclosed promptly to the Company (such disclosure to be
received in confidence). The Company shall examine such information to determine
if it is an Invention subject to this Agreement and shall advise the Employee
within a reasonable period of time.

5.5 The Employee agrees to, and hereby does, assign to the Company, the
Employee's entire right, title, and interest (throughout Canada and the world),
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, in and to each Invention, which
shall be the sole property of the Company, whether or not patentable.

5.6 In the event any Invention is deemed by the Company to be patentable or
otherwise registerable, the Employee shall assist the Company (at its expense)
in obtaining letters patent or other applicable registrations thereon and shall
execute all documents and do all other things necessary or proper thereto
(including testifying at the Company's expense) and to vest the Company, or any
entity or person specified by the Company, with full and perfect title to or
interest in the invention.

5.7 The Employee shall also take any reasonable action, requested by the Company
necessary or advisable in connection with any continuations, renewals, or
reissues thereof or in any related proceedings or litigation regarding the
Inventions.

5.8 Should the Company be unable to secure the Employee's signature on any
document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent,
copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Invention, whether due
to Employee's mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, the Employee
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized
officers and agents as the Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and
in Employee's behalf and stead and to execute and file any such document, and to
do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and
enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections with the same
force and effect as if executed, delivered, and/or done by the Employee.

5.9 The Employee represents that there are no Inventions that the Employee
desires to exclude from the operation of this Agreement. To the best of the
Employee's knowledge, there is no existing contract in conflict with this
Agreement and there is no contract to assign any Invention that is now in
existence between the Employee and any other person or entity.

5.10 Because of the difficulty of establishing when any Invention is first
conceived or developed by the Employee, or whether it results from access to
Confidential Information or the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or
data, the Employee agrees that any intellectual property shall be presumed to be
an Invention, if reduced to practice by Employee or with the aid of the Employee
during the course of the employment or within one (1) year after termination of
employment unless the Employee has followed the procedure in Section 5.4.

5.11 The Employee can rebut the above presumption if the Employee proves that
the Invention was developed entirely on Employee's own time without using the
Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or
<PAGE>

trade secret information; was not conceived or reduced to practice during
employment, or, if conceived or reduced to practice during this period, did not,
at the time of conception or reduction to practice, relate to the Company's
business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; and did
not result from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.

6. Acknowledgement

6.1 The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has had the opportunity to read
and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has
entered into it freely and voluntarily and based on the Employee's own judgment
and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this
Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has had ample time to

has advised the Employee to obtain independent legal advice with respect to this

employment of Employee or the termination of such employment shall be subject to
final and binding arbitration to be held in the city where the Employee was
based when the Agreement was signed. All such disputes shall be arbitrated under

JURY. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this provision for arbitration shall
not prevent the parties, or any of them, from seeking injunctive relief for
violation of the provisions hereof. The prevailing party in any arbitration or

recover his/her or its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

8.5 This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties with
respect to the matters herein and supercedes all agreements, verbal
