of his/her employment by the Company, understands that he/she will not be given
access to confidential information concerning the Company's products and plans
until he/she enters into this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is
reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company's trade secrets and
other secret and confidential information, the protection of which allows the
Company to continue in business and to continue to employ the Employee,
THEREFORE

     THE COMPANY AND THE EMPLOYEE agree to the following:

plans due to the Employee's involvement in the creative process with the
Company's technical, development, marketing and/or management staff, and, to the
extent of the Employee's participation and contribution, all resulting products
and product enhancements, marketing and/or business plan materials shall be
deemed to be made for hire, free from any claim or right of the Employee. The
Employee shall promptly inform the Company of any product or literature, or any

for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Employee
in so cooperating.

     3. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Employee acknowledges that all confidential
information, as defined in this Agreement, is made available in the strictest
confidence solely for the benefit and purposes of the Company and that
unauthorized disclosure of confidential information would harm the Company's
interests. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that during his/her employment by
the Company he/she will not, directly or indirectly, use for himself or to the
detriment of the Company or disclose to any party, other than as directed or
authorized by any officer of the Company, any confidential information. At the

otherwise for himself.

     5. PURPOSE. The employee acknowledges that the protective provisions of
this Agreement are necessary for the Company to maintain its competitive
position and to preserve its trade secrets and proprietary information from

confidential information remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

Agreement are in addition to any other rights of remedies it may have against
the Employee arising from his/her fiduciary duties as an employee of the
Company. The Employee acknowledges that any violation of the terms of this
Agreement would naturally result in irreparable harm to the Company and agrees
that a violation of the obligations respecting confidentiality, solicitation and
competition will entitle the Company to enjoin the Employee's conduct and seek
an accounting of profits realized by the Employee, in addition to any other
remedies that may be available to the Company. The Company shall be entitled to
recover all of its costs, including its reasonable attorney's fees, in enforcing
its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

     7. POLICIES. In addition to other Company policies, the Employee agrees to
act in accordance with all Company policies and procedures concerning
confidential information and employee cooperation in protecting and securing
Company property.

     8. EMPLOYMENT. The Employee acknowledges that entering into this Agreement
is a condition of employment with the Company. This Agreement gives the Employee
no greater or lessor rights to continued employment with the Company than the
Employee otherwise has and shall remain in effect after the Employee's
employment with the Company terminates, regardless of the reason, or lack of
reason, for that termination.

                                                                          Page 2
