during the term of the business relationship between Consultant and the Company,
Consultant will have access to and become acquainted with confidential
proprietary information ("Confidential Information") which is owned by the
Company and is regularly used in the operation of the Company's business.
Consultant agrees that the term "Confidential Information" as used in this
Agreement is to be broadly interpreted and includes (i) information that has, or
could have, commercial value for the business in which the Company is engaged,
or in which the Company may engage at a later time, and (ii) information that,

interests of the Company. Consultant agrees that the term "Confidential
Information" includes, without limitation, any patent, patent application,
copyright, trademark, trade name, service mark, service name, "know-how,"
negative "know-how," trade secrets, customer and supplier identities,
characteristics and terms of agreement, details of customer or consultant
contracts, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies,
product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, science or
technical information, ideas, discoveries, designs, computer programs (including
source codes), financial forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets,
processes, procedures, formulae, improvements or other proprietary or
intellectual property of the Company, whether or not in written or tangible
form, and whether or not registered, and including all memoranda, notes,
summaries, plans, reports, records, documents and other evidence thereof.
Consultant acknowledges that all Confidential Information, whether prepared by
Consultant or otherwise acquired by Consultant in any way, shall remain the
exclusive property of the Company.

            7.3 NO UNFAIR USE BY CONSULTANT. Consultant promises and agrees that
Consultant (which shall include Consultant's employees and contractors) shall
not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose in any way to any person or entity any
of the Company's Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, nor
will Consultant use the Confidential Information in any way or at any time
except as required in the course of Consultant's business relationship with the
Company. Consultant agrees that the sale or unauthorized use of the Company's
Confidential Information constitutes unfair competition. Consultant promises and
agrees not to engage in any unfair competition with the Company and will take
measures that are appropriate to prevent its employees or contractors from
engaging in unfair competition with the Company.

manner, without the advice, control or supervision of the Company. Consultant
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, and the Company's
officers, directors and shareholders from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries
and deficiencies, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and
reasonable attorney fees and costs, that the Company may incur or suffer and
that arise, result from or are related to any breach or failure of Consultant to
perform any of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement.

      9. NO ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY CONSULTANT;
COMPANY'S RIGHT TO ASSIGN. Consultant's rights and benefits under this Agreement

the parties with respect to the services to be rendered by Consultant to the
Company in any manner whatsoever. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that
no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise,
have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are
not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement or promise not
contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding on either party.

      11. WAIVER. No waiver of any term or provisions of this Agreement will be
valid unless such waiver is in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the waiver is sought. No waiver or breach of any agreement or
provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach thereof or a waiver or relinquishment of any other agreement
or provision or right or power contained in this Agreement.

      12. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. Nothing in this Agreement, whether
expressed or implied, is intended to create any third party beneficiary
obligations and the parties hereto specifically declare that no person or
entity, other than as set forth in this Agreement, shall have any rights
hereunder or any right of enforcement hereunder.

      13. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term of this Agreement, then and, in that event (i) the performance
of the offending term or provision (but only to the extent its application is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be excused as if it had never been
incorporated in to this Agreement, and, in lieu of such excused provision, there
shall be added a provision as similar in terms and amount to such excused
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, and (ii) the
remaining part of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall
continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent provided by law.

party either had separate and independent advice of counsel or the opportunity
to avail itself or himself of same. In light of these facts it is acknowledged
that no party shall be construed to be solely responsible for the drafting
hereof, and therefore any ambiguity shall not be construed against any party as
the alleged draftsman of this Agreement.
