5.7 Non-compete Provisions. Pickard and bCard agree that bCard's actual and
potential activities (as described in the Operational Marketing Concept
attached hereto as Exhibit A) are of a unique and special nature and
that if Pickard's services were used in competition with bCard, such
use could cause serious and possibly irreparable harm to bCard.
Accordingly, Pickard agrees that during the Covenant Period he will not
directly or indirectly, within the fifty (50) United States of America
or with any person or entity within the fifty (50) United States of
America:
(a) engage in, undertake to plan or organize, or become
associated or connected in any way with, participate in, be
employed by, render services to, or consult with any Competing
Entity in--as a consultant, independent contractor,
proprietor, shareholder, partner, officer, director, employee,
or otherwise--any business or activity that is substantially
similar to or in competition with the business or activities
of bCard, either for his own benefit or for the benefit of any
other person, firm, corporation, or entity whatsoever other
than bCard, or
<PAGE>
(b) call on, solicit, take away, or attempt to take away for
the benefit of Pickard or of any other person or entity, any
customer, supplier, or client of bCard, or
(c) solicit, take away, or attempt to take away, for the
benefit of Pickard or of any other person or entity, any
employee or officer of bCard.
bCard intends to restrict the activities of Pickard under this
section 5.7 only to the extent necessary for the protection of
the legitimate business interests of bCard. It is the
intention and agreement of the parties that all the terms and
conditions hereof be enforced to the fullest extent permitted
by law. In the event the provisions of this section 5.7 should
ever be deemed or adjudged by a court or arbitration tribunal
of competent jurisdiction to exceed the time or geographical
limitation permitted by applicable law, then the parties
intend such provisions shall nevertheless be valid and
enforceable to the extent necessary for such protection ad
determined by such court or arbitration tribunal, and such
provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic
limitations as permitted by applicable law and determined by
such court or arbitration tribunal.
5.8 Cooperation. During the Covenant Period, Pickard agrees that,
upon bCard's reasonable request, Pickard in good faith and
using diligent efforts shall cooperate and assist bCard in any
dispute, controversy, or litigation in which bCard may be
involved including without limitation Pickard's participation
in any court or arbitration proceedings, the giving of
testimony, the signing of affidavits, or such other personal
cooperation as legal counsel for bCard may reasonably request.
Such cooperation shall not be unreasonably burdensome or
without reasonable compensation.
5.9 Work Product is Property of bCard. Pickard understands and
agrees that the work product (whether tangible or intangible)
created, developed, conceived, or originated (alone or in
combination with others) by Pickard in the course of
performing his duties and services hereunder or with the aid
of Confidential Information, Confidential Material, or the
resources or property of bCard, is the exclusive property of
bCard, and Pickard hereby assigns to bCard and bCard accepts
all of Pickard's rights, interest, and title in and to said
work product. Pickard further agrees and understands that said
work product may be Confidential Information or Confidential
Material and is subject to the provisions and restrictions of
this Agreement. Pickard understands and agrees that from time
to time, upon bCard's reasonable request, he shall execute all
documents and take such other action as may be necessary or
desirable, to protect, enhance, exploit, or vest in bCard any
work product (or any part thereof). Pickard understands and
agrees that Pickard is engaged and compensated by bCard for
the purpose of creating, developing, conceiving, and
originating Confidential Information, Confidential Material,
or work product for the benefit of bCard and that the
assignment thereof as set forth herein is reasonable.
5.10 Confidentiality and Non-disclosure Provisions--Intellectual
Property and Trade Secrets. Pickard understands and agrees
that Confidential Information and Confidential Material is
secret and proprietary and of great value to bCard. Pickard
further understands and agrees that the relationship between
Pickard and bCard is of a confidential nature and imposes an
affirmative obligation upon Pickard to protect, foster, and
respect the confidentiality of Confidential Information.
Confidential Information and Confidential Material are
created, possessed, or used by Pickard or are given to Pickard
only for the purpose of assisting Pickard in performing his
duties and services hereunder. Confidential Information and
Confidential Material may be used, studied, and evaluated by
Pickard only for this purpose.

to gain possession of or access to Confidential Information or
Confidential Material; or

Confidential Material or aid, encourage, direct, or allow any
other person or entity to use, sell, or exploit any
Confidential Information or Confidential Material.
Upon and in accordance with bCard's instructions, Pickard
shall return or dispose of all Confidential Material. Pickard
shall, whenever requested by bCard, give a prompt and full
accounting of all Confidential Material given to Pickard and
all copies or reproductions thereof. Confidential Material
shall remain the property of bCard even if Pickard is in
possession thereof.
In performing his duties and services hereunder, Pickard
agrees to disclose or give Confidential Information or
Confidential Material to only such other persons as necessary
for the performance of his duties and services hereunder or
for the benefit of bCard. Any such disclosure shall be to such
persons and on such terms as are consistent with bCard company
policy.

settled by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with
the then current rules and procedures of the American
Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall take place
in Salt Lake City, Utah. The decision by the arbitrator on
any matter submitted to arbitration shall be binding and
conclusive upon the parties, their respective heirs,

federal court within the State of Utah or any other court
having jurisdiction.
(n)No Waiver. No failure by any party to insist upon the
strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, term,
or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy upon
a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such
breach or of such or any other covenant, duty, agreement,
term, or condition, whether or not similar. Any party by
notice pursuant to the terms hereof may, but shall be under
no obligation, waive any of its rights or any condition or
conditions to its obligations hereunder, or any covenant,
duty, agreement, term, or condition of any other party. No
waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver or affect or
alter the remainder hereof, and each and every other
covenant, duty, agreement, term, and condition hereof shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other
then existing or subsequently occurring breach.
(o)Severability. In the event that any condition, covenant,
or other provision contained herein is held to be invalid
or void by any court of competent jurisdiction, the same
shall be deemed severable from the remainder hereof and
shall in no way affect any other covenant or condition
contained herein. If such condition, covenant, or other
provision shall be deemed invalid due to its scope and
breadth, such provision shall be deemed valid to the extent
of the scope or breadth permitted by law.
(p)Covenant of Good Faith. Each party agrees to act
reasonably and in good faith in the performance of any acts
required of such party hereunder.
