2. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information

At all times during and subsequent to the termination of my employment with the Company, I shall keep in strictest confidence and trust the Confidential Information. I shall take all necessary precautions against unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information, and I shall not directly or indirectly disclose, allow access to, transmit or transfer the Confidential Information to a third party, nor shall I copy or reproduce the Confidential Information except as may be reasonably required for me to perform my duties for the Company.

I agree to take all necessary precautions to protect the computer systems and software of the Company and of the suppliers and clients of the Company.

B4

6. Non-Competition

I agree that while I am employed by the Company, and for twelve months following the termination of my employment with the Company, without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, I will not become engaged, directly or indirectly as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent, proprietor, shareholder (other than a holding of shares listed on a stock exchange that does not exceed 2% of the outstanding shares so listed) or advisor, in a business anywhere in the world where the Company marketed its products or services during the period of my employment with the Company; that develops or markets software competitive with the software owned or marketed by the Company, or provides consulting, maintenance, support or training services that are competitive with the consulting, maintenance, support or training services provided by the Company.

7. Non-Solicitation of Clients

I agree that while I am employed by the Company, and for twelve months immediately following the termination of my employment with the Company, I shall not, directly or indirectly, contact or solicit any Clients of the Company for the purpose of selling or supplying to these Clients or the Company any products or services which are competitive with the products or services sold or supplied by the Company at the time of my termination. The term “Client of the Company” in the preceding sentence means any business or organization that:

	(a)		was a client of the Company at the time of the termination of my employment with the Company; or

9. Confidentiality

Upon ceasing to be employed by the Company for whatever reason, I will immediately return to the Company all client lists, records and other material containing confidential information relating to the business and products of the Company.

B5

I acknowledge and agree that such material is for the benefit of the Company and I agree to keep it confidential both during and at any and all times after my employment with the Company, all such information or property which related to the Company’s business and products.

10. Reasonableness of Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Obligations

I confirm that the obligations in Sections 6, 7 and 8 are fair and reasonable given that, among other reasons,

(i) the sustained contact I will have with the clients of the Company will expose me to Confidential Information regarding the particular requirements of these clients and the Company’s unique methods of satisfying the needs of these clients, all of which I agree not to act upon to the detriment of the Company; and/or

(ii) I will be performing important development work on the software owned or marketed by the Company, and I agree that the obligations in Sections 6, 7 and 8, together with my other obligations under this Agreement, are reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company’s proprietary interests. I further confirm that the geographic scope of the obligation in Section 6 is reasonable given the international nature of the market for the products and services of the Company. I also agree that the obligations in Sections 6, 7and 8 are in addition to the non-disclosure and other obligations provided elsewhere in this Agreement. I also acknowledge that my obligations contained in this Agreement will not preclude me from becoming gainfully directly employed in the computer software industry or applicable product training following a termination of my employment with the Company given my general knowledge and experience in the computer industry.

11. Non-Conflicting Obligations

(a) I acknowledge and represent to the Company that my performance as an employee of the Company shall not breach any agreement or other obligation to keep confidential the proprietary information of any prior employer of mine or any other third party. I further acknowledge and represent that I am not bound by any agreement or obligation with any third party which conflicts with any of my obligations under this Agreement.

(b) I represent and agree that I will not bring to the Company, and shall not use in the performance of my work with the Company, any trade secrets, confidential information and other proprietary information of any prior employer of mine or any other third party.

(c) I agree that during the time that I am employed by the Company I shall devote my full working time and attention to the affairs of the Company and I shall not be employed

B6

by, or perform services for, or otherwise be engaged in any business with, any other entity without the prior written consent of the Company.

12. Enforcement

I acknowledge and agree that damages may not be an adequate remedy to compensate the Company for any breach of my obligations contained in this Agreement, and accordingly I agree that in addition to any and all other remedies available, the Company shall be entitled to obtain relief by way of a temporary or permanent injunction to enforce the obligations contained in this Agreement.

13. General

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the Province of British Columbia. If any provision of this Agreement is wholly or partially unenforceable for any reason, such unenforceable provision or part thereof shall be deemed to be omitted from this Agreement without in any way invalidating or impairing the other provisions of this Agreement. In this Agreement any reference to a termination of employment shall include termination for any reason whatsoever and with or without cause.

(b) The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of my service to the Company and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon (i) my heirs and personal representatives and (ii) the successors and assigns of the Company.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT. I UNDERSTAND IT, AND I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF IT, AND I AGREE TO ITS TERMS.
