6. Theriault Undertaking. Employee will not hold, accept or otherwise acquire any position with another entity, as a shareholder, partner, consultant, officer or director, which such position imposes on him, or may impose upon him in the future, a duty which could result in a conflict of interest arising between Employee and the Company respecting any aspect of mineral exploration, including, without limitation, acquisition or divestiture of properties, access to financing, and personnel.

7. Employee understands, acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither he nor an affiliate of his, including without limitation Dave Mathewson, will directly or indirectly acquire any interest in any property without first offering in writing such opportunity, without cost or markup, to the Company.

8. Stock or Option Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, from time to time, in its discretion whether and to what extent the Employee may participate in any stock or option plan hereafter adopted by the Company.

9. Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that, as a result of his employment by the Company, Employee will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company, including without limitation the identity of vendors and sources of supply, their needs and requirements, the nature and extent of the Company s arrangements with them, and related cost, price and sales information. Employee also acknowledges that the Company would suffer substantial damage if, during the period of his employment with the Company or thereafter, Employee should divulge secret and confidential information relating to the business of the Company acquired by him in the course of his employment. Therefore, Employee agrees that he will not at any time, whether during the Term or thereafter, disclose or divulge at any time to any person, firm or Company, any secret or confidential information obtained by Employee while employed by the Company, including but not limited to operational, financial, business or other affairs of the Company, trade know how or secrets, vendor lists, employee lists, consultant lists, sources of supply, pricing policies, operational methods or technical processes.

10. Construction and Enforcement of Section 9. The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that the provisions of Section 9 are of great importance and value to the Company. The Employee recognizes that the provisions of Section 9 are necessary for the Company s protection, are reasonable restraints ancillary to the formation and organization of the business and the retention of the Employee to run the business, and that the Company would be irreparably damaged by a breach thereof and would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. The Company, therefore, in addition to its other remedies, shall be entitled to an injunction from any court having jurisdiction restraining any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of Section 9, without the necessity of proving monetary damages, and without the necessity of proving that monetary damages would be insufficient. If any provision of Section 9 is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the court making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area, or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form. If any provision of Section 9 shall be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions of Section 9 or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

11. Release upon Termination or Expiration. In the event that the employment of the Employee with the Company is terminated or expires for any reason, in exchange for payment in full of all amounts owing to Employee under the terms of this Agreement at the date of termination, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company a general release in form to be determined by the Company, to the effect that Employee acknowledges that receipt of any monies and benefits pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is in full satisfaction of any and all outstanding claims or entitlements which the Employee may otherwise have against the Company, as well as the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, under or in respect of, this Agreement.

12. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, changed, modified or discharged except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party or parties against whom any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
