12.      CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1.    Proprietary Information:  Documentation and information (including
         electronically, orally or visually disclosed information) are
         confidential and "Proprietary Information"  for the purposes of this
         Section 12 if (a) it is designated as confidential or proprietary, by
         letter, stamp or legend (b) it would be apparent to a reasonable
         person, familiar with the disclosing party's business or the industry
         in which it operates, that such information is of a confidential or
         proprietary nature, or the disclosing party, within ten (10) days of
         disclosure, indicates to the receiving party that such disclosure
         is confidential.  Proprietary Information shall not include
         information defined as Proprietary Information above 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 part of the public domain
         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 obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information;
         or (iv) was independently developed by the receiving party.  All such
         Proprietary Information shall be treated confidentially by the
         receiving party and its employees,  contractors and agents and shall
         not be disclosed by the receiving party without the disclosing
         party's prior written consent.  However, the receiving party may
         disclose Proprietary Information of the disclosing party in
         accordance with judicial or other governmental order, provided that
         receiving party shall give the disclosing party reasonable notice
         prior to such disclosure and shall comply with any applicable
         protective order or equivalent.

12.2.    Treatment of Proprietary Information:  Neither party shall in any way
         duplicate all nor any part of the other party's Proprietary
         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 Proprietary Information sufficient to enable that party
         to comply with all the terms of this Agreement.  Each party agrees to
         protect the other's Proprietary 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 Proprietary Information.

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

12.4.    Action to Protect:  Each party shall promptly report to the other any
         actual or suspected violation of the terms of this Section 12, and
         shall take all reasonable steps to prevent, control or remedy such
         violation.

12.5.    Equitable Relief: In recognition of the unique and proprietary nature
         of the information disclosed by the parties, it is agreed that each
         party's remedies for a breach by the other

<PAGE>
         of its obligations under this Section 12 shall be inadequate and the
         disclosing party shall, in the event of such breach be entitled to
         equitable relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief and
         specific performance, in addition to any other remedies provided
         hereunder or available at law.

12.6     Proprietary Information:  For the purposes of this Agreement the
         Software, and all upgrades or modifications and all materials related
         thereto shall be treated as Proprietary Information of Licensor
         disclosed to the Master Licensee.

         Licensee's use of the Software after the termination of this
         Agreement, nor shall any termination have the effect of releasing the
         Master Licensee from the provisions of Section 12 which provisions

13.5     Non Payment:  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, non payment
         by the Master Licensee of any License Fees provided for herein, at

         after the default remedy period to immediately terminate this
         Agreement and in such event Fairwind and the Licensor shall be

         that a default by the Licensee under the terms of the Master License
         Agreement may result in the termination of  a Sub License.  In the
         event of such termination Fairwind is given the right, which right is
         hereby recognized and confirmed by the Master Licensee, to take any
         and all such steps as Fairwind may determine necessary to prevent the
         continued use the Software by the Master Licensee.  In event of the

         Fairwind  directly and negotiate any continued use of the Software on
         such terms as may be negotiated, without compensation to the  Master
         Licensee  and similarly, in such circumstances, Fairwind   shall be
         entitled to contact the Sub-licensee or otherwise negotiate with the
         sub-Licensee with respect to continued use of the Software, without
         interference by the Master Licenseer or compensation of any nature to
         the Master Licensee.
