     a.   Confidential  Information.  Documentation  and  information (including
          orally  or  visually  disclosed  information)  is  "Confidential
          Information"  for  the  purposes  of  this  Section  14  if  (a) it is
          designated as confidential or proprietary, by letter, stamp or legend;
          (b)  it  forms  part  or  the whole of the source code for the Project
          Code; or (c) the disclosing party, at the time of disclosure, verbally
          indicates  that  such  disclosure  is confidential and within ten (10)
          business Days of such disclosure, confirms by notice in writing to the
          receiving  party  that  such  disclosure is confidential. Confidential
          Information  shall  not  include  information  defined as Confidential
          Information  about  which  the  receiving  party  can  conclusively
          establish:  (i)  was  in  the possession of the receiving party at the
          time  of  disclosure;  (ii)  prior  to or after the time of disclosure
          becomes  public  knowledge without the act or omission of the party to
          whom  it was disclosed; (iii) is disclosed to the receiving party by a
          third party under no legal obligations to maintain the confidentiality
          of  such  information;  or  (iv)  was  independently  developed by the

          shall  not  be disclosed by the receiving party without the disclosing
          party's  prior  written  consent.  However,  the  receiving  party may
          disclose  Confidential  Information  of  the  disclosing  party  in

                                     - 70 -

          accordance  with  judicial  or  other governmental order, provided the
          receiving  party  shall  give  the  disclosing  party's  Confidential
          Information,  shall,  if  requested,  assist  the  disclosing party in
          obtaining  a  restrictive  order  to request confidential treatment or
          prevent  such  disclosure,  and  shall  comply  with  any  applicable
          protective  order  or  equivalent.  For the purposes of certainty, the
          terms  of  this  Agreement,  including  the  financial  terms shall be
          maintained  in  confidence  by  both  parties.

     b.   Treatment  of Confidential Information. Neither party shall in any way

          Information,  except  in  accordance  with the terms and conditions of
          this  Agreement.  Each  party shall have an appropriate agreement with
          each  of  its  employees,  contractors and agents having access to the
          other party's Confidential Information sufficient to enable that party
          to  comply  with  all  terms  of  this Agreement. Each party agrees to
          protect the other's Confidential Information with the same standard of
          care and procedures which it uses to protect its own trade secrets and
          confidential or proprietary information of like importance and, in any
          event,  shall  adopt  or  maintain procedures reasonably calculated to
          protect  such  Confidential  Information.  In  no  event  shall such a
          standard  be  less  than  a  reasonable  degree  of  care.

     c.   Further  Treatment  of  Confidential Information. Each party agrees to
          hold  the  other  party's  Confidential  Information  in  trust  and
          confidence  for  such  party  and not use same other than as expressly
          authorized under this Agreement. Each party agrees not to disclose any
          such Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the
          other,  to anyone other than that party's employees who have a need to
          know  same  to  carry  out  the  rights  granted  hereunder.

     d.   Action  to  Protect. Each party shall promptly report to the other any
          actual  or suspected violation of the terms of this Section, and shall
          take  all  reasonable  steps  to  prevent,  control  or  remedy  such
          violation.

          satisfy  its  obligations  to  creditors.

                                   SECTION 16

INDEMNIFICATION

     Each  party  will  and hereby does agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the
other  party,  and  the  owners,  shareholders,  officers, directors, employees,
contractors,  agents,  and representatives of the other party, harmless from all
liabilities,  damage  or remedial or punitive awards of any kind, costs and fees
of any kind (including costs of defense and reasonable attorney fees), claims or
causes of any kind (whether pending or threatened), arising from, resulting from
or  relating  to:  (1)  its  own  conduct,  including  conduct  of  its  owners,
shareholders,  officers,  directors,  employees,  contractors,  agents,  and
representatives,  unless  such  conduct  is  carried  out at the express written
instruction  of  other  party; (2) its own products or services, but only to the
extent that such products are not modified by the other party; (3) any breach of
a  warranty  or representation given in this Agreement; and, (4) any material or

information is used, disclosed, and maintained consistent with the terms of this
Agreement  or  any  express  written instructions provided at the time the other
party receives the information or material at issue; and provided that the other
party  provides prompt written notification to the defending party of any action
requiring  indemnification.  Without  limiting  the generality of the foregoing,
NAVI-GATES'S  entire liability under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the
amounts  paid  to  it  by  SHARP.

          provisions  of  this  Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or
          parties  shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees, court

          intended  to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such

          remedy  given  hereunder  or  now  or  hereafter existing at law or in
          equity  or  by  statute or otherwise. No single or partial exercise by
          any  party  of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any

          counterparts,  each,  which  shall  be  deemed an original, but all of

     o.   Incorporation  of  Exhibits.  All  Exhibits  attached  hereto shall be
          deemed  as  part  of this Agreement, and all capitalized terms used in
          such  Exhibits  shall  have the same meanings ascribed thereto in this
          Agreement.

     p.   Force Majeure. Either party shall be excused from delays in performing
          or  from  its  failure  to  perform  hereunder to the extent that such
          delays or failures result from causes beyond the reasonable control of
          such  party;  provided  that,  in  order  to  be excused from delay or
          failure to perform, such party must act diligently to remedy the cause
          of  such  delay  or  failure.

     q.   Required  Approvals. Where agreement, approval, acceptance, or consent
          by  either  party is required by any provision of this Agreement, such
