          Affiliated Company is operating, not disclose any Confidential
          Information to anyone outside of the Company or an Affiliated Company,
          either during or after the term of his employment by the Company or an

6.3.      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company's Confidential
          Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Company
          which is extremely important in a highly competitive business such as

          the disclosure of any Confidential Information may cause substantial
          injury and loss to the Company. Employee acknowledges that the Company
          retains a proprietary interest in its Confidential Information that
          persists beyond the termination of Employee's employment by the

          protection of the Confidential Information is an essential part of
          Employee's employment by and business relationship with the Company

6.5.      Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee's services hereunder
          are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, that Employee's
          employment with the Company places Employee in a position of
          confidence and trust and that Employee's services hereunder
          necessarily will require the disclosure to Employee of Confidential
          Information of the Company. Employee consequently agrees that it is
          reasonable and necessary for the protection of the goodwill and
          business of the Company that Employee make the covenants contained

          period thereafter, Employee shall not, except on behalf of the
          Company, directly or indirectly, and regardless of the reason for the
          cessation of Employee's employment (i) attempt in any manner to
          persuade any third party to cease to do business, or to reduce the
          amount of business which any such party customarily has done or
          contemplates doing, with the Company, whether or not the relationship
          between the Company and such third party was originally established in
          whole or in part through Employee's efforts; or (ii) on Employee's own
          behalf or otherwise, hire, solicit, seek to hire, or offer employment
          to any person who is, during any such time period, an employee of or

          such person to leave the employ of, or terminate or diminish such
          person's business relationship with, the Company. As used in this

          example, retain or engage; and the "Company" shall include Multimedia
          K.I.D., Inc. and each of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
