12.      CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1.    The parties anticipate that under this Agreement it may be necessary
         for either party to transfer to the other information of a proprietary
         nature. With respect to such information, the parties agree as follows:

         12.1.1.      "Proprietary Information" means any information disclosed
                      by either party to the other party as a consequence of or
                      through the exchange of information between the parties,
                      which information shall include but shall not be limited
                      to technical information, marketing plans, and marketing
                      information, business plans, business records, computer
                      communication systems, protocols, financial information,
                      business formulas, compilations of information and
                      records, including information relating to research,
                      development, inventions, and types and names of potential
                      customers, software (executable or otherwise), flow
                      charts, scripts, encryptions, transfer mechanisms, or
                      other rights and data, or any Trade Secret of any sort,
                      which has not been published to the general public or made
                      previously available to others without restriction, nor
                      normally furnished to others without compensation, and
                      which the disclosing party desires to protect against
                      unrestricted disclosure or competitive use.

         12.1.2.      "Trade Secret" means any formulas, patters, devices or
                      compilations of information which is used in one's
                      business, and which gives it an opportunity to take
                      advantage over competitors who do not know or use it, from
                      which the party derives independent economic value, actual
                      or potential, from not being generally known to, and not
                      being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other
                      persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure
                      or use; and are the subject of efforts that are reasonable
                      under the circumstances to maintain secrecy.

         12.1.3.      Either party may disclose Proprietary Information to the
                      other party, verbally or in writing. When disclosed in
                      writing, the Proprietary Information shall be labelled
                      with an appropriate legend. When disclosed verbally, the
                      Proprietary Information shall be designated as
                      "Proprietary" at the time of such disclosure.

                      programs, methods, techniques, processes, devices, and
                      compilations of information which the other party uses in
                      its business to give it an advantage over its competitors,
                      who do not know or use the respective Proprietary
                      Information. The parties shall take special care to

                      confidentiality of the Proprietary Information and will
                      indemnity the other party for any loss or damage suffered
                      by that party and caused by one party's failure to
                      diligently protect the other party's rights, The parties
                      shall notify each other immediately of any suspected
                      breach by a person whether in a party's employ or not, in

                      agrees to immediately inform the other party in writing of
                      any unauthorised use or interference with the Proprietary
                      information.

                      three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement,
