                  and agree that the Employee's employment with the Company
                  shall be "at will." The Company and the Employee understand
                  and agree that the phrase "at will" is intended to mean that
                  either the Company or the Employee may end their employment
                  relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without
                  cause, and with or without notice. The Company and the
                  Employee agree that this Agreement is not intended to be and
                  should not be construed as an employment contract that
                  determines or affects the duration of the Employee's
                  employment, or any other terms or conditions of the Employee's
                  employment, except for those specifically set forth herein.

         ARTICLE IV.  COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, EXPENSES.

         4.1      BASE SALARY: During the term of Employee's employment under
                  this Agreement, the Company shall pay Employee a Base Salary

                  in equal regular periodic payments in accordance with the

                  is increased from time to time during Employee's employment
                  under this Agreement, the increased amount shall become the
                  Base Salary for the remainder of Employee's employment under
                  this Agreement. Employee's Base Salary will be reviewed by the

                  hereto as Exhibit A. The Company may terminate any bonus
                  scheme at any time without replacing it with any other scheme
                  or incentive; further, the amount or nature of any bonuses or
                  scheme determined by the Board for any period shall not be any
                  indication or requirement that any similar bonus or scheme
                  will be applicable to any subsequent period. If the Employee's
                  employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other

                  employment relationship ended. The Company retains sole
                  discretion to determine whether the Employee shall receive
                  such a bonus. The Company will have no bonus obligation to the
                  Employee following the calendar year in which the Employee's
                  employment ended.

         4.3      BENEFIT PLANS: The Employee also may be entitled to
                  participate in such Plans as the Board shall, in its sole
                  discretion, from time to time establish for the benefit of the
                  Company's employees. At the present time, this includes the
                  Company's medical, dental, life and disability insurance
                  coverage, and 401-K plans, as set forth in the Company's
                  standard employee benefits plans. Due to the waiting period
                  set forth in the Company's medical coverage plan, Employee
                  will not be eligible to participate in that plan until the
                  first of the month following 30 days of employment. Due to the
                  waiting period set forth in the Company's 401-K plan, the
                  Employee will not be eligible to participate in the 401-K plan

         4.4      STOCK OPTIONS: Employee shall be entitled to receive 196,190
                  share options upon executing this Agreement. Employee's rights
                  to these share options will be governed exclusively by the
                  terms and conditions of the applicable Company stock option
                  plans, subject to the following exception: if the Employee is
                  terminated by the Company for any reason within his first
                  twelve (12) months of employment, the employee will
                  immediately vest 49,047 share options (twelve (12) months of
                  options) inclusive of the options that vested during the
                  period of his employment. If the Employee is terminated by the
                  Company for any reason following his first twelve (12) months
                  of employment, no additional share options will vest. If the
                  Employee has worked for the Company for six (6) months, and
                  the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in
                  Paragraph (5.6.1) below, all outstanding share options shall
                  vest immediately. If the Employee has worked for the Company
                  for less than six (6) months at the time the Company
                  experiences a Change in Control, the Employee will be entitled
                  to vest the equivalent number of months corresponding to the
                  number of full calendar months of service (e.g., the Employee
                  has worked for two months when a Change in Control occurs, so
                  the Employee would be entitled to vest two additional months
                  of share options).

         4.5      PERSONAL TIME OFF (PTO): The Company's PTO year runs from
                  January 1st to December 31st and the Employee may take

<PAGE>


                  twenty-five (25) working days in each PTO year (in addition to
                  public holidays). For calendar year 1999, the Employee shall
                  be eligible only for nineteen (19) PTO days. Personal time off
                  should be taken at such times convenient to the Company as may
                  be agreed between Employee and the Company and in accordance
                  with any policies as to personal time off from time to time
                  established by the Company.

                  (i)      ACCRUAL: PTO entitlement will accrue from month to
                           month during each PTO year and the entitlement to
                           accrued PTO pay upon Termination will be in
                           proportion to the period of employment during the
                           year. Upon termination, the Employee shall reimburse
                           the Company for PTO taken in excess of Employee's
                           accrued entitlement.

                  (ii)     NO CARRY-FORWARD: The Employee may not, without the
                           written consent of the Company, carry forward any
                           unused PTO entitlement to any subsequent year.

                  (iii)    ILLNESS: If Employee is unable to perform Employee's
                           duties hereunder because of physical or mental
                           illness, bodily injury or disease, the Company will
                           deduct the days taken as absent from the total of PTO
                           days available for that PTO year.

         4.6      RELOCATION: If the Employee relocates to the United States,
                  the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable

                  goods for up to 3 months, etc. The Company agrees to accept
                  direct billing from vendors associated with the move.

         4.7      BUSINESS EXPENSES: The Company shall reimburse the Employee
                  (in accordance with the relevant policies established by the
                  Company from time to time) for all travel, hotel and other
                  out-of-pocket expenses properly and reasonably incurred and
                  documented, exclusively for and in the course of performing
                  Employee's duties.

         ARTICLE V. TERMINATION.

         5.1      TERMINATION: As set forth in ARTICLE III above, the employment
                  relationship between the Company and Employee is at will.
                  Thus, the


                                       7


<PAGE>


                  Company or the Employee may terminate their employment
                  relationship at any time, with or without notice, for any
                  reason or no reason, whether with or without cause. As set
                  forth elsewhere in this Agreement, depending on the
                  circumstances of the termination of employment, the
                  termination may not relieve the parties of some of their
                  contractual obligations to each other. The question of whether
                  specific obligations survive the termination of the employment
                  relationship is addressed elsewhere in this Agreement.

         5.2      TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH: The Company's obligations
                  to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate in
                  the event of the Employee's death. Nothing in this Paragraph,
                  however, shall supercede any obligations the Company may owe
                  to the Employee's estate and/or family members, as
                  specifically set forth in any of the health, benefit or
                  insurance plans or programs in which the Employee is enrolled
                  at the time of his death.

         5.3      TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DISABILITY: The Company's
                  obligations to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall
                  terminate if the Employee becomes disabled. As used in this
                  Paragraph, "disabled" means that the Employee cannot perform
                  the essential functions of the job, with or without a
                  reasonable accommodation.

                  5.3.1    "DISABILITY" DEFINED: As used in this Agreement,
                           "disability" or "disabled" means that the Employee
                           has a mental or physical condition that renders him
                           unable to perform the essential functions of his job,
                           with or without reasonable accommodation, during
                           ninety (90) or more days within any one hundred and
                           eighty (180) day period.

         5.4      TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The Company's obligations to the
                  Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate if the
                  Board of Directors, or the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
                  elects to terminate this Agreement for "cause" and notifies
                  the Employee in writing of that decision. A termination for
                  "cause" will affect the severance benefits for which the
                  Employee otherwise may have been eligible, as set forth
                  further below.

                  5.4.1    "CAUSE" DEFINED: As used in this Agreement, the word
                           "cause" means the following:


                                       8


<PAGE>


                           (i)      The Employee has engaged in willful and/or
                                    material misconduct, including, but not
                                    limited to, willful and material failure to
                                    perform the Employee's duties and
                                    responsibilities as an officer or employee
                                    of the Company;

                           (ii)     The Employee has committed fraud,
                                    misappropriation or embezzlement, in
                                    connection with the Company's business,
                                    committed an act (or acts) of personal
                                    dishonesty relevant to the duties and
                                    responsibilities of the Employee, or
                                    committed any willful and deliberate
                                    misconduct that is materially and/or
                                    demonstrably injurious to the Company;

                           (iii)    The Employee has been convicted of or has
                                    pleaded NOLO CONTENDERE to criminal
                                    misconduct (exclusive of any misdemeanor
                                    offenses);

                           (iv)     The Employee has breached his obligations to
                                    the Company as set forth in this Agreement;
                                    and,

                           (v)      The Employee has failed to perform his
                                    duties to the reasonable satisfaction of the
                                    Chief Executive Officer of the Company
                                    and/or the Board of Directors.

         5.5      TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE: The Company's obligations to the
                  Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate if the
                  Board of Directors, or the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
                  elects to terminate this Agreement without "cause" and
                  notifies the Employee in writing of that decision. A
                  termination without "cause" will NOT affect the severance
                  benefits for which the Employee otherwise is eligible, as set
                  forth further below.

         5.6      TERMINATION AS A RESULT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL: If a Change in
                  Control shall occur AND (a) if, following the change in
                  control, the Employee is terminated by the Company pursuant to
                  Paragraphs 5.3 or 5.5 above; or, (b) if, following the change
                  in control, the Employee's job responsibilities and/or duties
                  are altered in a material manner, resulting in the Employee
                  voluntarily terminating his employment relationship within
                  three (3) months of the change in control, the Employee will
                  be eligible for the severance benefits set forth below.

                  5.6.1    "CHANGE IN CONTROL" DEFINED: A "change in control"
                           shall mean any of the following:

                           (i)      a sale of all or substantially all of the
                                    assets of the Company;

                           (ii)     the acquisition of the securities of the
                                    Company, representing more than fifty (50)
                                    percent of the combined voting power of the
                                    Company's then outstanding securities by any
                                    person or group of persons;

                           (iii)    a consolidation or merger of the Company in
                                    which the Company is not the continuing or
                                    surviving corporation or pursuant to which
                                    shares of the Company's outstanding capital
                                    stock are converted into cash, securities or
                                    other property, other than a consolidation
                                    or merger of the Company in which Company
                                    shareholders immediately prior to the
                                    consolidation or merger have the same
                                    proportionate ownership of voting capital
                                    stock of the surviving corporation
                                    immediately after the consolidation or
                                    merger;

                           (iv)     in the event that the shares of the voting
                                    capital stock of the Company are traded on
                                    an established securities market: a public
                                    announcement that any person has acquired or
                                    has the right to acquire beneficial
                                    ownership of securities of the Company
                                    representing more than fifty (50) percent of
                                    the combined voting power of the Company's
                                    then outstanding securities, and for this
                                    purpose the terms "person" and "beneficial
                                    ownership" shall have the meanings provided
                                    in Section 13(d) of the Securities and
                                    Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
                                    commencement of or public announcement of an
                                    intention to make a tender offer or exchange
                                    offer for securities of the Company
                                    representing more than fifty (50) percent of

                           (v)      the Board of Directors of the Company, in
                                    its sole discretion, determines that there
                                    has been a sufficient change in the share
                                    ownership of the Company to constitute a
                                    change of effective ownership or control of
                                    the Company.

         5.7      TERMINATION BY THE EMPLOYEE: The Company's obligations to the
                  Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate if the
                  Employee elects to terminate this Agreement and notifies the
                  Company in writing of such election. A termination decision by
                  the Employee will affect the severance benefits for which the
                  Employee otherwise may have been eligible, as set forth
                  further below.

         5.8      SUMMARY: If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
                  Paragraphs 5.2, 5.4 or 5.7, all of the Company's obligations
                  to the Employee shall cease immediately, unless otherwise
                  mutually agreed to, in writing, by the Company and the
                  Employee, or unless as required by applicable law. If this
                  Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 5.3, 5.5 or
                  5.6, the Company's obligations to the Employee, with the
                  exception of the severance benefits set forth below, shall
                  cease thirty (30) days after the Employee becomes disabled, is
                  terminated without cause, or the employment relationship ends
                  due to a change in control, or unless as required by
                  applicable law.

         ARTICLE VI. SEVERANCE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

         6.1      SEVERANCE PAYMENTS: If applicable, all severance payments as
                  outlined in Paragraphs 6.2 - 6.4 will be payable to the
                  Employee within 60 days of execution of a general release as
                  outlined in Paragraph 6.6.

         6.2      TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE: Subject to the qualifications of
                  Paragraphs 6.5 and 6.6 below, if the Company terminates this
                  Agreement without cause, the Employee shall be entitled to
                  receive six (6) months of his base salary and benefits
                  (exclusive of any stock options) and reimbursement for agreed
                  upon expenses related to relocating back to Canada. If,
                  however, following a Change in Control, the Company terminates
                  the Employee's employment within one (1) year of the Change in
                  Control, the Employee shall be entitled to receive twelve (12)
                  months of his base salary and benefits (exclusive of any stock
                  options) and reimbursement for agreed upon expenses related to
                  relocating back to Canada. Regardless of whether there has
                  been a Change in Control, after twenty-four (24) months of
                  employment with the Company, the severance benefits set forth
                  in this Paragraph (6.2) shall be reduced to three (3) months
                  and there will be no reimbursement of relocation expenses.

         6.3      EMPLOYEE INITIATED TERMINATION AS A RESULT OF A CHANGE IN
                  CONTROL: Subject to the qualifications of Paragraphs 6.5 and
                  6.6 below, if the Employee terminates this Agreement pursuant
                  to the provisions of Paragraph 5.6 above, he shall be entitled
                  to severance benefits for a period of six (6) months and
                  relocation reimbursement for related expenses, i.e., packing
                  and unpacking services, moving services, storage of household
                  goods for up to 3 months, etc. The Company agrees to accept
                  direct billing from vendors associated with the relocation.

         6.4      TERMINATION DUE TO DISABILITY: Subject to the qualifications
                  of Paragraphs 6.5 and 6.6 below, if the Company terminates
                  this Agreement because the Employee has become disabled, as
                  set forth in Paragraph 5.3 above, the Employee shall be
                  entitled to severance compensation and benefits for a period
                  of six (6) months, subject to the following limitation. The
                  Employee will be obligated to seek whatever benefits are
                  available under the Company's short- and/or long-term
                  disability plans. Assuming the Employee qualifies for either
                  short- or long-term disability payments, his severance
                  compensation will be reduced by the amount of the benefits he
                  is receiving from the Company's short- and/or long-term
                  disability plans.

         6.5      FORFEITURE OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS: Regardless of the reason why
                  the employment relationship ends, if following termination,
                  the Employee breaches his obligations to the Company pursuant
                  to ARTICLES VII and VIII below, the Company's obligations to
                  provide the Employee severance compensation and benefits shall
                  cease immediately.

         6.6      RELEASE OF CLAIMS: If the Employee wishes to qualify for the
                  severance compensation and benefits set forth in this ARTICLE
                  (and as described in Paragraphs 6.2 - 6.4), the Employee must
                  execute a general release of all claims. The general release
                  will be prepared by counsel for the Company and will relate to
                  all potential claims preceding the execution of the general
                  release. The general release will comply with all statutory
                  requirements governing releases. Unless a general release is
                  executed by the Employee, he shall not be eligible for
                  severance compensation and benefits.

         6.7      TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: If the Company terminates this
                  Agreement for cause, the Employee shall not be entitled to
                  receive any severance compensation and benefits.

         6.8      TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE: If the Employee elects to terminate
                  this Agreement for any reasons other than those set forth
                  above in Paragraph 5.6, the Employee shall not be entitled to
                  receive any severance compensation and benefits.

         6.9      TERMINATION FOR ANY OTHER REASON: If this Agreement is
                  terminated by the Employer or Employee for any reasons other
                  than those set forth in ARTICLE V above, the Employee shall
                  not be entitled to receive any severance compensation and
                  benefits.

         6.10     NON-MONETARY BENEFITS: If the Company is obligated to provide
                  severance benefits pursuant to this Agreement, the Company, in
                  its sole discretion, either shall provide the Employee a
                  monetary benefit on a monthly basis that will enable the
                  Employee to obtain independently an equivalent benefit to that
                  provided by the Company's plan, or will pay directly the
                  Employee's COBRA payment for the period the Employee is
                  eligible for the benefit. The Company's obligation pursuant to
                  this Paragraph, however, shall cease if and when the Employee
                  obtains alternative employment and receives a comparable
                  benefit from his subsequent employer, or when the benefit
                  period set forth in this Agreement ends, whichever occurs
                  sooner. The Employee agrees that he will notify the Company
                  within seven (7) days of receiving comparable benefits from
                  another employer and that if he fails to do so, he will be
                  obligated to refund the value of any benefits provided by the
                  Company corresponding to the period when the benefits
                  overlapped.

         ARTICLE VII. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         7.1      CONFIDENTIALITY: The Employee agrees with the Company, and (as
                  separate obligations) with each of the Associated Companies to
                  which Employee's duties relate, that Employee will (both
                  during the continuance of the Agreement and after termination,

                           ordered so to do by a court of a competent
                           jurisdiction) any secret, private or confidential
                           information whatsoever of the Company or Associated

                           keep such information secret and confidential and to
                           avoid disclosure to persons not entitled to the same;

                  (c)      not use any such information for Employee's own
                           benefit or for the benefit of any person or persons
                           or in a manner which would or might be detrimental to
                           the Company or Associated Companies;

                  (d)      sign such confidentiality agreements in favor of the
                           Company or Associated Companies or any other person
                           as the Company may reasonably request and will

                  following the termination of this Agreement for any reason
                  whatsoever, Employee shall not solicit, or assist anyone else
                  in the solicitation of, any of the Company's then-current
                  employees to terminate their employment with the Company and
                  to become employed by any business enterprise with which the
                  Employee may then be associated, affiliated or connected.

         8.3      NON-SOLICITATION OF CLIENTS: For one (1) year following
                  termination of employment, Employee shall not use his

                  any other means seek or solicit business or orders from any
                  person or entity who is or has been at any time during the
                  twelve (12) months preceding the Employee's termination, a
                  client or customer of the Company or Associated Companies.

         8.4      POST-EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS: Following termination, the
                  Employee will not directly or indirectly:

                           as being connected with or successor to the Company
                           or Associated Companies or their respective
                           businesses or as acting on behalf of any of them;

                           goodwill of any of the Companies; this provision will
                           not preclude the Employee from referring to his
                           previous connection with the Companies on any

                           image or infer a connection with any of the
                           Companies.

         8.5      CONSIDERATION: The Employee expressly agrees that there is
                  good and sufficient consideration for the promises set forth

                  work performed by the Employee for the employer."

         ARTICLE X. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         10.1     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: This Agreement shall be binding upon
                  and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and
                  assigns, and to the Employee's personal or legal

                  through arbitration or judicial proceeding. If the Company

                  registered office.

         10.7     PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS: This Agreement operates as from the date
                  of execution by the Employee and Company (whichever is later,
                  if the dates are different) in substitution for and to the
                  exclusion of any Employment Agreement previously in force
                  between the Company and/or Associated Companies, and Employee.

         10.8     WITHHOLDING: To the extent required by any applicable law,

                  Company (on the written advice of outside counsel) deems
                  necessary.

         10.9     CAPTIONS: The various headings or captions in this Agreement

                  hereunder, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the
                  State of Minnesota, each of the parties hereby consenting to
                  the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for this purpose.

         10.11    CONSTRUCTION: Wherever possible, each provision of this
                  Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be

                  of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
                  applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
                  the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
                  invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
                  provisions of this Agreement.

         10.12    WAIVERS: No failure on the part of either party to exercise,
                  and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder
                  shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
                  partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any
                  other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right
                  or remedy granted hereby or by any related document or by law.
