EXHIBIT A
NONCOMPETITION, NONDISCLOSURE AND
ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
The undersigned, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Employee"), in consideration of (i)
the Employee's employment or continued employment by MediaMax Technology
Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") and (ii) the compensation to
be paid to the Employee, hereby agrees with the Company as follows:
1. Noncompetition Covenant. During the period of employment and for the
Post-Employment Period (as defined below) after termination of such employment
(for any reason whatsoever), the Employee agrees that he or she will not,
whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, consultant, agent, employee or
stockholder of any company or other commercial enterprise, engage in any
business or other commercial activity which is competitive with the Company's
business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Employee shall
not engage in a business or other commercial enterprise that designs, conceives,
markets, distributes or develops products and services being designed,
conceived, marketed, distributed or developed by the Company at the time of
termination of such employment. The restrictions set forth in this Section shall
not restrict the Employee from working for a line of business, division or unit
of a larger entity that competes with the Company as long as the activities of
the Employee for such line of business, division or unit do not involve work by
the Employee on matters that are directly or indirectly competitive with the
Company's business. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to ownership by
the Employee of less than 1% of the equity securities of any publicly-traded
company. "Post-Employment Period" for the purposes of this Section 1 and the
immediately following Section 2 shall mean the following: (a) one year, in the
event the Date of Termination of Employee occurs after satisfaction of the
Financing Condition as such capitalized terms are defined in the Employment
Agreement between Company and Employee; and (b) six months, in the event the
Date of Termintation occurs prior to the satisfaction of the Financing
Condition.
2. Nonsolicitation. During the period of employment by the Company and for
the Post-Employment Period (as defined above) after termination of such
employment (for any reason), the Employee will not directly or indirectly either
for himself or herself or for any other commercial enterprise, solicit or
attempt to solicit any of the Company's customers, business or prospective
customers in existence at the time of termination of such employment. For
purposes of this Agreement, "prospective customers" shall include those
customers being solicited by the Company at the time of the Employee's
termination. During such employment with the Company and for a period of one (1)
year thereafter, the Employee shall not attempt to hire, or hire, the Company's
employees, consultants or advisors, or assist in such hiring by anyone else, to
work with any business directly competitive with the Company's business.
3. Nondisclosure Obligation. The Employee will not at any time, whether
during or after the termination of employment, for any reason whatsoever (other
than to promote and advance the business of the Company), reveal to any person
or entity (both commercial and non-commercial) any of the trade secrets or
confidential business information concerning the Company: including its research
and development activities; product designs, prototypes and technical
specifications; show-how and know-how; marketing plans and strategies; pricing
and costing policies; customer and supplier lists and accounts; or nonpublic
financial information of the Company so far as they have come or may come to the
Employee's knowledge, except as may be required in the ordinary course of
performing his or her duties as an employee of the Company. This restriction
8
3. Nondisclosure Obligation - continued

public domain through no fault of the Employee; (ii) information received from a
third party outside the Company that was disclosed without a breach of any
confidentiality obligation; (iii) information approved for release by written
authorization of the Company; or (iv) information that may be required by law or
an order of any court, agency or proceeding to be disclosed. The Employee shall
keep secret all matters of such nature entrusted to him or her and shall not use
or disclose any such information for the benefit of any third party in any
manner which may injure or cause loss to the Company, whether directly or
indirectly. The Employee agrees promptly to return to the Company all manuals,
business plans, manuscripts, reports, letters, notes, notebooks, drawings,
diagrams, prints, models, data storage devices and all other materials belonging
to the Company or its customers upon the termination of employment. In addition,
any confidential information which is in electronic form or cannot otherwise be
returned to the Company shall be destroyed by the Employee upon termination of
employment. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of such confidential
business information, the Employee shall continue to be bound by the
restrictions set forth in this Section after the termination of this his or her
employment.
4. Assignment of Inventions. The Employee expressly understands and agrees
that any and all right or interest he or she has obtained or will obtain in any
designs, trade secrets, technical specifications and technical date, know-how
and show-how, customer and vendor lists, marketing plans, pricing policies,
inventions, concepts, ideas, expressions, discoveries, improvements and patent
or patent rights which are authored, conceived, devised, developed, reduced to
practice, or otherwise obtained by him or her during the term of his or her
employment with the Company which relate to or arise out of his or her
employment with the Company, or which previously have been authored, conceived,
devised, developed, reduced to practice, or otherwise obtained by him or her
during the term of his or her employment with the Company, are expressly
regarded as "works for hire" (the "Inventions"). The Employee hereby assigns to
the Company the sole and exclusive right to such Inventions. The Employee agrees
that he or she will promptly disclose to the Company any and all such
Inventions, and that, upon request of the Company, the Employee will execute and
deliver any and all documents or instruments and take any other action which the
Company shall deem necessary to assign to and vest completely in the Company, to
perfect trademark, copyright and patent protection with respect to, or to
otherwise protect the Company's trade secrets and proprietary interest in such
Inventions. The obligations of this Section shall continue beyond the
termination of the Employee's employment with respect to such Inventions
conceived of, reduced to practice, or developed by the Employee during the term
of this Employee's employment. The Company agrees to pay any and all copyright,
trademark and patent fees and expenses or other costs incurred by the Employee
for any assistance rendered to the Company pursuant to this Section.
The Employee's obligation to assign Inventions shall not apply to any
invention which: (i) was developed entirely on the Employee's own time and
effort; (ii) used no equipment, supplies, facility, trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company in its development; (iii) does not
relate to the business of the Company or to the Company's actual or anticipated
research and development activities; and (iv) does not result from any work
performed by the Employee for the Company.
9
4. Assignment of Inventions - continued
The Employee agrees to be bound by any obligations or restrictions which
are made known to him or her relating to the terms of assignment of inventions
or confidentiality obligations set forth in agreements between the Company and
any third party. The Employee shall take all necessary action that may be
required from time to time to discharge the obligations of the Company under
such agreements.
5. Remedies Upon Breach. The Employee agrees that any breach of this
Agreement by the Employee could cause irreparable damage to the Company. The
Company shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an
injunction or other equitable relief to prevent any violation of the Employee's
obligations hereunder.
6. Absence of Conflicting Agreements. The Employee understands the Company
does not desire to acquire from him or her any trade secrets, know-how or
confidential business information that he or she may have acquired from others.
The Employee represents that he or she is not bound by any agreement,
commitment, arrangement or court order, or any other existing or previous
business relationship which violates, conflicts with or prevents the full
performance of the Employee's duties and obligations to the Company during the
course of employment. The Employee represents that he or she has no present
obligations to assign to any former employer, or to any other person or entity
not affiliated with the Company, any Inventions or other intellectual property
covered by Section 4 hereof.
7. No Employment Contract. The Employee acknowledges that this Agreement
does not constitute a contract of employment and does not imply that his or her
employment will continue for any period of time.
8. Miscellaneous. Any waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of
this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach hereof. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity or
subject matter so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision(s) shall be
construed and reformed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and reducing
it (or them), so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the
applicable law as it shall then appear. The obligations of the Employee under
this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employee's relationship with
the Company regardless of the manner of such termination. All covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
successors of the Company. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT.
