        its
        shareholders agree that no transfer or assignment of any Vivid warrants shall

        its shareholders deliver an opinion of counsel to Vivid, which opinion must

        holders of warrants. The parties acknowledge that the recently completed

        registration of the Vivid Stock Option Plan.
 
 Section
        4.3  *Shareholder
        Information* *.* So long
        as TrueActive and its shareholders own the Vivid warrants, TrueActive and

 Dear
        Rick,
 
 Based
        on
        recent discussions, I am very pleased to extend you an offer of employment
        as a
        Senior Software Developer of Vivid Learning Systems, Inc. located in Richland,
        WA, starting on March 16 th ,
        2005.
        Attached are the terms of your compensation.
 
 In
        addition to the monthly salary offer, I am sure you will find the fringe
        benefits package provided by Vivid to be competitive. As a Vivid employee,
        we
        will provide you a copy of our employee handbook that outlines our employment
        policies and benefits programs.
 
 You
        will
        need to provide documentation that establishes identity and employment
        eligibility. For example, if you are a U.S. citizen, a current drivers’ license
        and social security card will be sufficient. If you are not a U.S. citizen,
        we
        will require other documents.
 
 As
        discussed in our employment policies, your employment and compensation with
        Vivid are consistent with Washington State “at will” law in that they can be
        terminated with or without cause, and with or without notice, at any time,
        at
        the option of either Vivid or yourself, except as otherwise provided by law.
        Therefore, there is no intent that the terms of this offer letter create
        either
        an expressed and/or implied contract of employment with Vivid.
 
 During
        your work for Vivid, you agree to perform your best efforts, full time for
        Vivid, and not to perform work for other businesses. The terms stated in
        this
        letter are in addition to terms of your Vivid “Non-Disclosure Agreement” wherein
        you agree not to disclose confidential information, not compete with Vivid,
        that
        your work (whether physical property or intellectual property) is the property
        of Vivid and that you will return all materials upon termination of your
        work
        with Vivid.
 
 Let
        me
        say again that I am very pleased to make this offer of employment with Vivid
        and
        we all look forward to working with you. You will be a great addition to
        our
        team.
 
 Very
        truly yours,
 /s/Kevin

 The

        that
        Employee’s employment with Vivid is “at will” and that Employee’s employment may
        be terminated by Vivid at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable
        laws.

        accepts and agrees to such employment and agrees to be subject to the general

        or any
        individual that the Vivid Chief Technology Officer may designate. Employee
        shall
        also perform such other duties as are customarily performed by an employee

        similar position and such other and unrelated services and duties as may
        be
        assigned from time to time. Employee shall devote his full business time
        and

        prior approval in case of leaves of absence, vacation, and service on corporate,
        civil, or charitable boards or committees involving no conflict of interest
        with
        Vivid’s interests and not significantly interfering with the regular performance
        of his Vivid duties.

        Salary* .

        salary shall be paid in substantially equal periodic installments, but not
        less
        frequently than monthly. The parties acknowledge that Employee’s base salary
        shall be processed and paid through Human Resource Novations, Inc. Employee’s
        base salary may be subject to periodic updates and adjustments, as set forth
        in
        the Vivid Employee Compensation Plan and incorporated herein by
        reference.

        Employee may be entitled to performance bonuses and performance based stock

        In
        accordance with Vivid policies, Employee shall be reimbursed in the amount
        of

        his

        Vivid.

 *Due
        To Death or Permanent Disability* .
        Employee's employment shall terminate upon his death or permanent disability.

        Vivid
        may terminate Employee's employment at any time, with or without Just Cause.
        Vivid shall have "Just Cause" if its Chief Executive Officer in the exercise
        of
        his reasonable judgment, determines that Employee has committed an act or
        acts
        constituting any of the following: (i) dishonesty or fraud in connection
        with
        his duties for Vivid; (ii) disclosure of confidential or private information
        regarding Vivid or its parent company; (iii) sexual harassment or other
        violation of laws prohibiting discrimination, in each case, committed in
        connection with his duties for Vivid; (iv) materially aiding a competitor

        Vivid or its parent company; (v) misappropriation of a business opportunity
        of
        Vivid; (vi) **** repeated
        and/or gross misconduct or negligence, in each case in the performance of
        his
        duties for Vivid; or, (vii) a felony conviction.
 
 *By
        Employee* .
        Employee may terminate his employment at any time, with or without Good Reason.
        Employee shall have “Good Reason” to terminate in the event of (i) a forced
        relocation of the place for Employee's performance of his duties reasonably
        requiring a move of more than fifty (50) miles in Employee's residence; or,
        (ii)
        a material breach of a material provision of these Terms, which breach remains
        uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is delivered
        to
        Vivid. Good Reason shall not exist if Vivid contemporaneously has Just Cause
        to
        terminate Employee's employment.

        upon Termination** .
 
 If
        Employee's employment is terminated (i) due to Employee's death or permanent
        disability; (ii) by Vivid for Just Cause; or, (iii) by Employee without Good
        Reason, Vivid shall pay Employee's Base Salary through the date of termination,
        and provide such other payments and benefits as applicable law or Vivid’s
        employee benefit policies may require.
 
 If
        Employee's employment is terminated (i) by Vivid without Just Cause; or,
        (ii) by
        Employee for Good Reason, then Vivid shall pay Employee an amount equal to
        four
        (4) months salary.
