9.     PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

The customers,  business, products, technology,  business connections,  customer
lists, procedures,  operations,  techniques and other aspects of the business of
the Client are  established  at great  expense  and  protected  as  confidential
information  and  trade  secrets  and  provide  the  Client  with a  substantial
competitive advantage of selling its products.  The Consultant shall have access
to,  and  be  entrusted  with,  trade  secrets,   confidential  information  and
proprietary  information,  and the Client  would suffer great loss and injury if
the  Consultant  would  disclose this  information or use it to compete with the
Client.  Consequently,  the Consultant  agrees that during its relationship with
the  Client,  and from then on, it will not,  within  the  geographic  territory
encompassed  by  the  business  of  the  Client  at  the   termination  of  that
relationship,  directly or indirectly,  either  individually  or as an employee,
agent, partner, shareholder, or in any other capacity, use or disclose, or cause
to  be  used  or  disclosed,  any  trade  secret,  confidential  information  or
proprietary  information acquired by the Consultant during its relationship with
the Client.

10.    INDEMNIFICATION

The Consultant  agrees to defend,  indemnify,  and hold the Client harmless from
any and  all  liabilities,  losses,  costs,  damages,  penalties  and any  other
expenses  including  attorneys fees arising directly or indirectly,  either from
the Consultant's acts or omissions or the Consultant's  breach of any obligation
imposed or sought to be imposed by or  according to this  Agreement.  The Client
shall not be liable to the Consultant,  or to anyone who may claim any right due
to a  relationship  with  the  Consultant,  for  any  acts or  omissions  by the
Consultant in the  performance of this Agreement or on the part of the employees
or agents of the Consultant.  The Consultant shall indemnify and hold the Client
free and harmless from any obligation,  cost claim, judgment,  attorneys,  fees,
and attachments  arising from,  growing out of, or in any way connected with the
services rendered to the Client under the terms of this Agreement.
