benefit of RARE. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

obtained and developed in the course of Executive&#146;s employment with the
Company, other than in the proper performance of his duties for the Company. </FONT></P>

the "Confidential  Information").  Executive acknowledges that such Confidential  Information is a valuable and
unique  asset  of the  Company  and of RARE and  covenants  that he will  not,  either  during  the term of his
employment  by the  Company  or for a period  of two (2)  years  thereafter,  disclose  any  such  Confidential
Information  to any person for any reason  whatsoever  (except  as his  duties  for the  Company  may  require)
without the prior written  authorization  of the Company's Chief Executive  Officer.  Executive  agrees that he
will not copy any  Confidential  Information  except as the  performance  of his  duties  for the  Company  may
require and that upon the  termination  of his  employment  by the Company,  he shall  return all  Confidential
Information  and any copies  thereof in his  possession  to the  Company.  Executive  hereby  acknowledges  and
agrees that the  prohibitions  against  disclosure of Confidential  Information  recited herein are in addition

any  jurisdiction or at common law to prevent the disclosure of trade secrets or proprietary  information,  and

Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Company  acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein
shall  restrict or otherwise  prohibit or prevent  disclosure  of  Confidential  Information  pursuant to legal
proceedings,  subpoena,  civil  investigative  demand  or  other  similar  process.  Executive  agrees  that if
disclosure  of  Confidential  Information  is  requested  or required  pursuant to any such  process,  he shall
provide the Company  with prompt  written  notice of any such  request or  requirement  so that the Company may
seek a protective  order or other  appropriate  remedy  and/or waive  compliance  with the  provisions  of this
Agreement.  If,  in the  absence  of a  protective  order or other  remedy  or the  receipt  of a waiver by the
Company,  Executive is nonetheless,  legally compelled to disclose Confidential  Information to any tribunal or
other agency,  Executive may, without liability hereunder,  disclose to such tribunal or other agency only that
portion of the Confidential  Information  which Executive is legally required to disclose,  Executive agrees to
cooperate with the Company to obtain an  appropriate  protective  order or other  reliable  assurance that such
tribunal or other agency will accord the  Confidential  Information  confidential  treatment.  The Company also
acknowledges  and  agrees  that  Confidential  Information  shall  not  include  any  information  (a) known by
Executive  prior to his  employment  by the  Company  and  learned by  Executive  other than as a result of his
employment  relationship with the Company,  (b)  independently  developed by the Executive outside of the scope
of his  employment  relationship  with the  Company or (c) that is or  becomes  publicly  available  through no
