Employee acknowledges that Employee's duties and responsibilities may be changed by the Company to other duties and responsibilities typically reserved for executives of the Company, which change(s) shall not give rise to any rights to Employee in connection with any Employee resignation for Good Reason (as defined below). The period of Employee's employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the "Employment Term."
b. During the Employment Term, Employee will devote Employee's full business time and best efforts to the performance of Employee's duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the rendition of such services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (as of the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude Employee from (i) performing his responsibilities as the Shareholder Representative as contemplated under the Merger Agreement, or (ii) subject to the prior approval of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (as of the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇), accepting appointment to any board of directors or trustees of any business corporation; provided further, in each case, and in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere in any material respect with the performance of Employee's duties hereunder or under the Confidential Information Agreement (as defined below) or Protective Covenant Agreement (as defined below).

From the Effective Date through March 31, 2005, the Company shall pay Employee a base salary at the annual rate of $209,000, payable in regular installments in accordance with the Company's usual payment practices and be subject to the usual, required withholding.

b. For the period from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2005 (the "Q4 2004 Period" and together with the 2004 Bonus Period, the "Periods"), Employee shall be eligible to earn a bonus award equal to the product of (X) $37,500 multiplied by (Y) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the dollar amount of bookings in the Q4 2004 Period by customers of the Scitegic business division for Scitegic products and services by (ii) a target dollar amount of bookings in the Q4 2004 Period, determined by the Company in its sole discretion, by customers of the Scitegic business division for Scitegic products and services.
c. With respect to each full fiscal year of the Company commencing on April 1, 2005, Employee shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award (an "Annual Bonus") in an amount to be determined by the Company; each Annual Bonus shall be in a target amount of 30% of Employee's then current Base Salary. In addition, Employee may, subject to the Company's determination, earn an additional amount up to 25% of the Annual Bonus for each such fiscal year.

5. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Employee shall be eligible to participate in and receive benefits under the Company's employee benefit plans (other than annual bonus and incentive plans) as in effect from time to time (collectively "Employee Benefits"), on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other executives of the Company.

6. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the performance of Employee's duties hereunder shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company in accordance with Company policies.
7. Termination. Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that Employee will be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of any resignation of Employee's employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7 shall exclusively govern Employee's rights upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates.
a. By the Company For Cause or By Employee Resignation Without Good Reason.
(i) Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) and shall terminate automatically upon Employee's resignation without Good Reason (as defined in Section 7(c)); provided that Employee will be required to give the Company at least 60 days advance written notice of a resignation without Good Reason.

(iii) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Employee resigns without Good Reason, Employee shall be entitled to receive:

(B) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Employee in accordance with Company policy prior to the date of Employee's termination; and
(C) such Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Employee may be entitled under the employee benefit plans of the Company (the amounts described in clauses (A) through (C) hereof being referred to as the "Accrued Rights").
(iv) Following a termination of Employee's employment by the Company for Cause or resignation by Employee without Good Reason, except as set forth in Section 7(a)(iii), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
b. Disability or Death.
(i) The Employment Term and Employee's employment hereunder shall terminate upon Employee's death and, upon notice as provided in the next succeeding sentence, may be
3
terminated by the Company if Employee becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of 183 consecutive days or for an aggregate of 270 days in any twenty-four (24) consecutive month period to perform Employee's duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as "Disability"). Termination for Disability shall be effected by delivery of written notice to Employee at least 30 days prior to the date of termination stated therein; provided, however, that if Employee resumes the performance of substantially all of his duties hereunder before his incapacity constitutes "Disability", the notice of termination shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked. Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Employee as to which Employee and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified licensed independent physician mutually acceptable to Employee and the Company. If Employee and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Employee shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement.
(ii) Upon termination of Employee's employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Employee or Employee's estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights.
(iii) Following Employee's termination of employment due to death or Disability, except as set forth in Section 7(b)(ii), Employee shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(2) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company; or
(3) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company's assets.
(iii) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or if Employee resigns for Good Reason, Employee shall be entitled to receive:
(A) the Accrued Rights; and
(B) subject to Employee's execution of a general release of claims containing customary provisions and reasonably acceptable to the Company and Employee's continued compliance with the provisions of the Confidential Information Agreement, continued payment of the Base Salary for a six month period following the date of such termination (such period, the "Severance Period"); provided, however, that the aggregate amount described in this clause (iii) shall be reduced by the present value of any other cash severance or termination benefits payable to Employee under any other plans, programs or arrangements of the Company or its affiliates.

a. General. In consideration of Employee's service to the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment related disputes and Employee's receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to Employee by the Company, at present and in the future, Employee agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Employee's service to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise or the termination of Employee's service with the Company, including any breach of this Agreement, will be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1283.05 (the "Rules") and pursuant to California law and held in the county of San Diego. Disputes which Employee agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under state or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination and any statutory claims. Employee further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Employee.
b. Procedure. Employee agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will allow for discovery according to the rules set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or California Code of Civil Procedure. Employee agrees that the arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Employee agrees that the arbitrator will issue a written decision on the merits. Employee also agrees that the arbitrator will have the power to award any remedies, including attorneys' fees and costs, available under applicable law. Employee understands the Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or AAA except that Employee will pay the first $125.00 of any filing fees associated with any arbitration Employee initiates. Employee agrees that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with the Rules and that to the extent that the AAA's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes conflict with the Rules, the Rules will take precedence.
c. Remedy. Except as provided by the Rules, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between Employee and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Rules, neither Employee nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator will not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted.
d. Availability of Injunctive Relief. In addition to the right under the Rules to petition the court for provisional relief, Employee agrees that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of this Agreement, the Confidential Information Agreement, the Protective Covenant Agreement or any other agreement regarding trade secrets, confidential information, nonsolicitation or Labor Code §2870. In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred in such action.
6
e. Administrative Relief. Employee understands that this Agreement does not prohibit Employee from pursuing an administrative claim with a local, state or federal administrative body such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the workers' compensation board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Employee from pursuing court action regarding any such claim.
f. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that Employee has carefully read this Agreement and that Employee has asked any questions needed for Employee to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Employee is waiving Employee's right to a jury trial. Finally, Employee agrees that Employee has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Employee's choice before signing this Agreement.
