171605 - instead focus at this time on a non-disclosure agreement so that Jerry

172014 - Time working to formalize an agreement has been interrupted by other
172015 - tasks, including support for Gary using SDS at Aerospace company, improving SDS
172016 - and doing research on application of SDS primarily in the area of
172017 - context management using the organic structure of SDS subjects, which
172018 - boils down to performing the eight (8) steps of Com Metrics cited on

172044 - Want to get the SDS CD to Jerry so we don't have further delays, and
172045 - we can continue formalizing our ideas on the agreement, based on the
172046 - following analysis....
172048 -           ..
172049 -      1.  On 020924 sent a CD to Gary, ref SDS 8 0001, using
172050 -          language in a letter on the same date. ref DIP 2 0001  Want
172051 -          to accomplish the same process toward achieving the same
172052 -          result, that Jerry joins the SDS effort.
172054 -           ..
172055 -      2.  As shown in comments to the proposed agreement Jerry
172056 -          submitted on 030624, business evaluation is the main goal of
172057 -          this phase one initial review by Jerry. ref SDS 14 NT61 and
172058 -          further at ref SDS 14 NU3F
172060 -           ..
172061 -          Non-disclosure and protection of confidential IP is the main
172062 -          legal issue.  Experience seems to show that the complexity of
172063 -          SDS and the amount of experience using SDS are barriers to
172064 -          understanding the technology.  That is why we have focused
172065 -          discussions on the importance of Jerry spending time learning
172066 -          and using SDS, for example on 030612. ref SDS 12 GZ6K
172068 -           ..
172069 -          People who wish to develop SDS and exploit commercial value
172070 -          in SDS, most likely will recognized that Welch is needed to
172071 -          understand the technology and guide deployment using the
172072 -          eight (8) steps for Com Metrics, reported on 001219.
172073 -          ref SDS 4 4W4L
172075 -           ..
172076 -      3.  The core protection of SDS is that people need to work with
172077 -          the program in order to learn how it works and how to create
172078 -          what it does.  Therefore, the main issue is to avoid handing
172079 -          out the program to others, except under terms and conditions
172080 -          that bind them to compensate Welch for commercial sales
172081 -          resulting from disclosure.
172083 -           ..
172084 -      4.  Consider including milestone targets to guide evaluation, as
172085 -          shown on 020612. ref SDS 12 CF3K

261026 -    individual ("Recipient").  The purpose of the Agreement is solely
261027 -    to allow Recipient to evaluate business opportunity and places no
261028 -    duty on either party for any performance, except as mutually
261029 -    elected, and except that Recipient shall maintain confidentiality
261030 -    of Disclosing Parties intellectual property, as defined in Appendix

261054 -    confidential material of Disclosing Party and trade secrets of
261055 -    Disclosing Party contained in the Technology which must be

261064 -    experience using the technology with support by Disclosing Party
261065 -    for a period of approximately six (6) months.  Recipient has agreed

300622 -           can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.
300623 -           Confidential Information does not include any information
300624 -           that:  (a) was already legally known to Recipient prior to

300635 -           a court order, as evidenced by the written opinion of legal
300636 -           counsel, provided that Disclosing Party is given reasonable
300637 -           notice of such law or order and an opportunity to attempt to
300638 -           seek a protective order or otherwise preclude or limit such

300640 -           discuss the Technology with others for purposes of
300641 -           performing this Agreement, provided there is attribution of

310405 -           Recipient that any exchange of Confidential Information
310406 -           under this Agreement shall be solely for the purpose of
310407 -           evaluating opportunity of forming a business with Disclosing
310408 -           Party.  The parties further agree that such evaluation
310409 -           requires using the Technology on Recipient's personal
310410 -           notebook computer and on desktop computers at both
310411 -           Recipient's home and place of buisness to perform routine
310412 -           management and engineering work, which will result in costs
310413 -           and benefits to Recipient and to CSG.  The parties mutually
310414 -           agree that costs and benefits will be offsetting; no
310415 -           entitlement to payments of any kind will be owed nor
310416 -           required by either party, including CSG, except as provided
310417 -           in Section 5 Remedies. ref SDS 0 WT4R  Recipient may further
310418 -           use the Technology for non-business tasks to "manage" all
310419 -           daily activity as a comprehensive and integrated schedule
310420 -           and diary in order to make a full, good faith evaluation of
310421 -           usefulness and commercial potential for augmenting human
310422 -           intelligence and memory. (see sample language ref OF 2 HT46)

510504 -           The parties agree that technology transfer occurs primarily
510505 -           through use of the Technology and secondarily through study
510506 -           of writings by Disclosing Party listed in Appendix A.  The
510507 -           parties desire to provide sufficient time for Recipient to
510508 -           learn the Technology (including trade secrets) by acquiring
510509 -           experience using the Technology, as set out in section 3, in
510510 -           order to evaluate potential for realizing benefits of
510511 -           financial gain and saving time through greater efficiencies
510512 -           applying Technology trade secrets set out in Appendix A, and
510513 -           further to evaluate potential for commercial sales by
510514 -           attracting customers to such benefits.  The parties agree
510515 -           that six (6) months is a sufficient time for this
510516 -           evaluation.  The parties set the date of January 31, 2004
510517 -           for this agreement to terminate, if not terminated nor
510518 -           extended prior to that date.  Either party can terminate
510519 -           this agreement at any time by written or electronic
510520 -           notification prior to the termination date of January 31,

510522 -           automatically by default on January 31, 2004, Recipient
510523 -           shall remove the SDS software program from all computers and

740647 - investing time to learn, experiment and start over a few times.  It
