WHEREAS, the Executive has been employed by the Company since March 06, 2001 ("Employment Date");

Whereas, the Executive is currently serving as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer for the Company and has so served since March 06, 2001;

Whereas, the Company desires to retain Executive's services and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits in return for his services; and

WHEREAS, Executive wishes to be employed by the Company and provide personal services to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY.

1.1 Position. Subject to terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to employ Executive in the position of Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment. During the term of his employment with the Company, Executive will devote his best efforts and substantially all of his business time and attention (except for vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity permitted by the Company's general employment policies) to the business of the Company.

1.2 Duties and Location. Executive shall serve in an executive capacity and shall perform such duties as are customarily associated with his then current title, consistent with the Bylaws of the Company and as required by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or Chief Operating Officer ("COO"). Executive will report to the Company's COO. Executive's primary office location shall be the Company's corporate headquarters, currently located in Newark, California. The Company reserves the right to reasonably require Executive to perform his duties at places other than its corporate headquarters from time to time, to require reasonable business travel, and to relocate Executive's primary office location within the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

1.3 Policies and Procedures. The employment relationship between the parties shall be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company, which the Company may change from time to time, and Executive will be expected to abide by such Company policies and practices.

2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

2.1 Base Salary. Executive shall receive, for services to be rendered hereunder, an annualized base salary of $235,000.00 less standard payroll deductions and withholdings and payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll schedule. Such compensation is subject to change from time to time in the Company's discretion.

2.2 Bonus Potential. Executive shall be eligible to receive an incentive bonus to be determined on an annual basis, payable during the first quarter of the subsequent year, less standard payroll deductions and withholdings. The Company will determine whether Executive has earned the bonus based on the Company's attainment of specific corporate objectives, as outlined in the executive compensation plan, and on Executive's attainment of personal objectives determined between Executive and the COO. No bonuses are earned until the Board confirms such bonuses in writing. If Executive is not employed at the time any bonus is to be paid due to his voluntary separation from the Company or involuntary termination for Cause, he will not have earned the bonus and no partial or pro-rata bonus will be paid. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company shall have the sole discretion to change or eliminate the annual bonus program at any time, to determine whether the corporate and personal objectives have been achieved, and to determine the amount of the bonus earned by Executive, if any.

2.3 Stock Option Grant. The Company granted to Executive (see Exhibit C) under the InVision Technologies, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan") options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock, as determined by the Board, at the time of the Board's approval of the grant (the "Option"). Executive acknowledges that there are no further commitments on behalf of the Company to grant to Executive any additional option grants. The Board may consider granting additional option grants at its sole discretion.

2.4 Change In Control Equity Acceleration Plan. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company's Change In Control Equity Acceleration Plan ("Equity Acceleration Plan") (attached hereto as Exhibit A), which provides for accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Plan), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Acceleration Plan, if the Equity Acceleration Plan is in effect as of the date of any qualifying Change in Control. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Equity Acceleration Plan as a "member of the senior management group" of the Company.

2.5 Employee Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to all benefits, including but not limited to health and disability benefits, for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions of the standard Company benefits plans which may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to its senior executive employees generally. Details about these benefits are set forth in summary plan descriptions and other materials to be provided to Executive after he commences employment. Executive shall be entitled to participate in any deferred compensation, incentive compensation, retention or golden parachute plan available to the senior management group adopted by the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement.

4. OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES.

4.1 Non-Company Activities. Except with the prior written consent of the Board, Executive will not during the term of this Agreement undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise, other than ones in which Executive is a passive investor. Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder.

5. FORMER EMPLOYMENT.

5.1 Prior Employee Agreements and Information. Executive represents and warrants that his employment by the Company will not conflict with and will not be constrained by any prior employment or consulting agreement or other relationship with any third party.

Any notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery (including personal delivery by facsimile transmission), delivery by express delivery service (e.g. Federal Express), or the third day after mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Company at its primary office location and to Executive at his address as listed on the Company's payroll.

8.2 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to render it valid, legal, and enforceable consistent with the general intent of the parties insofar as possible.

8.3 Waiver. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, he or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

8.4 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits, constitutes the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement merges all previous discussions and negotiations between the parties and supersedes and replaces any and every other agreement which may have existed between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation the Key Employee Agreement between the parties dated [date of existing agreement]. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in a written instrument signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer or director of the Company.

8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures transmitted via facsimile shall be deemed the equivalent of originals.

8.6 Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

hereunder and he may not assign any of his rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.

8.8 Choice of Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of California as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of California.

8.9 Right To Work. As required by law, this Agreement is subject to satisfactory proof of Executive's right to work in the United States.

8.10 Alternative Dispute Resolution. To ensure rapid and economical resolution of any disputes which may arise under this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature whatsoever arising from or regarding Executive's employment or the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement shall be resolved, to the fullest extent allowed by law, by confidential, final and binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") in San Francisco, California, under the then-existing JAMS employment rules. The parties acknowledge that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, they waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury, judge or administrative proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator's essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The Company shall pay all JAMS' arbitration fees in excess of those which would be required if the dispute were decided in a court of law.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive and the Company each have the right to resolve any issue or dispute involving Company trade secrets, proprietary information or intellectual property rights by court action instead of arbitration. The arbitrator, and not a court, shall be authorized to determine whether the provisions of this paragraph apply to a dispute, controversy or claim sought to be resolved in accordance with these arbitration procedures.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written.

Section 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS.

(a) General Rules. Subject to the requirement set forth in this Section, the Company will provide the benefits described in Section 4(a) or 4(b) of the Plan, as applicable, to Eligible Employees. In order to be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, an Eligible Employee must execute and provide to the Company a general waiver and release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as appropriate, and such release must become effective in accordance with its terms. The Company, in its sole discretion, may modify the form of the required release to comply with applicable state or federal law and shall determine the form of the required release.

(b) Exceptions to Benefit Entitlement. In no event shall an employee, whether or not otherwise an Eligible Employee, receive benefits under the Plan in any of the following circumstances, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:

(i) The employee has executed an individually negotiated employment contract or agreement with the Company relating to option acceleration benefits in the event of a change in control that is in effect on his or her termination date.

(ii) The employee's employment with the Company is terminated other than in a Covered Termination.

(iii) The employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company in order to accept employment with another entity that is wholly or partly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company or an Affiliate.

(iv) The employee is offered immediate reemployment by a successor to the Company or by a purchaser of its assets, as the case may be, following the Change in Control. For purposes of the foregoing, "immediate reemployment" means that the employee's employment with the successor to the Company or the purchaser of its assets, as the case may be, results in uninterrupted employment such that the employee does not suffer a significant lapse in pay as a result of the change in ownership of the Company or the sale of its assets.

Section 4. OPTION ACCELERATION.

(a) Senior Management Level. If an Eligible Employee is notified by the Company in writing that he or she is a member of the senior management group of the Company for the purposes of this Plan, then, effective as of the date of the Change in Control, the Options then held by such Eligible Employee shall become fully vested and exercisable, regardless of whether or not the Eligible Employee's employment with the Company terminates due to a Covered Termination.

(b) Vice President Level. If an Eligible Employee is notified by the Company in writing that he or she is a vice president of the Company for the purposes of this Plan, and such Eligible Employee's employment with the Company terminates due to a Covered Termination, then, effective as of the date of the Covered Termination, the Options then held by such Eligible Employee shall become fully vested and exercisable.

Section 5. LIMITATION ON BENEFITS.

(a) Parachute Payments. If the aggregate value of the accelerated Option vesting under Section 4 and any other payments or benefits that the Eligible Employee would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any payments or benefits under any employment or key employee agreements (collectively, "Payment"), would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code that is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount.

(i) The "Reduced Amount" shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Eligible Employee's receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Eligible Employee elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of Options; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of Options is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such Options (i.e., earliest granted Option cancelled last) unless the Eligible Employee elects in writing a different order for cancellation.

(ii) The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

(iii) The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Eligible Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Eligible Employee's right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Eligible Employee or the Company) or such other time as requested by the Eligible Employee or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Eligible Employee and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Eligible Employee that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Eligible Employee and the Company.

Section 6. RIGHT TO INTERPRET PLAN; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

(a) Exclusive Discretion. The Company shall have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms, and procedures for the administration of the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Plan and the acceleration of Option vesting pursuant to the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Company shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

(b) Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan or the benefits provided hereunder at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall occur following a Change in Control if such amendment or termination would adversely affect the rights of any persons who were employed by the Company prior to the Change in Control. Any action amending or terminating the Plan shall be in writing and executed by an individual duly appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Section 7. NO IMPLIED EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.

The Plan shall not be deemed (i) to give any employee or other person any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or (ii) to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee or other person at any time, with or without cause, which right is hereby reserved.

Section 8. CHOICE OF LAW.

The law of the State of California shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of laws rules.

Section 9. EXECUTION.

To record the adoption of the Plan as set forth herein, effective as of May 21, 2002, InVision Technologies, Inc. has caused its duly authorized officer to execute the same this 2^nd day of October, 2002.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Release, I hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the Company, its parents and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, shareholders, successors, assigns and affiliates, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, arising out of or in any way related to agreements, events, acts or conduct at any time up to and including the date I execute this Release, including, but not limited to: all such claims and demands directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected with my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; claims or demands related to salary, bonuses, commissions, stock, stock options, or any other equity interests in the Company, vacation pay, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, severance pay, or any form of compensation; claims pursuant to any federal, state or local law or cause of action including, but not limited to, the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended ("ADEA"); the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended; tort law; contract law; wrongful discharge; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; fraud; defamation; emotional distress; and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed in any way to release the Company from its obligation to indemnify me pursuant to agreement or applicable law.

I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, and that the consideration given under the Plan for the waiver and release in the preceding paragraph hereof is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA, that: (A) my waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the date I execute this Release; (B) I should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release (although I may choose voluntarily not do so); (C) I have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Release (although I may choose voluntarily to execute this Release earlier); (D) I have seven (7) days following my execution of this Release to revoke the Release by providing written notice to an officer of the Company; and (E) this Release shall not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired, which shall be the eighth day after I execute this Release.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to my release of any claims hereunder.

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

INVISION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by InVision Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows:

1.: Recognition of the Company's Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company's Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain the Company's prior written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at the Company and/or incorporates Propriatary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns and the Company and its assigns shall be the sole owner of all trade secret rights, patent rights, copyrights, mask work rights and all other rights throughout the world (collectively, "Proprietary Rights") in connection therewith.

The term "Proprietary Information" shall mean trade secrets, confidential knowledge, data or any other proprietary information of the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, "Proprietary Information" includes (a) algorithms, trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Inventions"); and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company.

2.

Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information ("Third Party Information") subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose (to anyone other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.

3.

Assignment of Inventions; Work for Hire.

3.1: Assignment; Work for Hire. I acknowledge and agree that any copyrightable works prepared by me within the scope of my employment are "works for hire" under the Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such copyrightable works. I agree that all Inventions that (i) are developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company, (ii) result from work performed by me for the Company, or (iii) relate to the Company's business or current or anticipated research and development (the "Company Inventions"), will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and are hereby irrevocably assigned by me to the Company.

3.2

Labor Code Section 2870. I recognize that this Agreement does not require assignment of any invention which qualifies fully for protection under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter "Section 2870"), which provides as follows:

"(i)

Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

(1): Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer.
(2): Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

(ii): To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (i), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable."

3.3.: Government. I also assign to or as directed by the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions, full title to which is required to be in the United States by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies.
3.4: Assignment of Other Rights. In addition to the foregoing assignment of Company Inventions to the Company, I hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company: (i) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, including but not limited to rights in databases, in any Company Inventions, along with any registrations of or applications to register such rights; and (ii) any and all "Moral Rights" (as defined below) that I may have in or with respect to any Company Inventions. I also hereby forever waive and agree never to assert any and all Moral Rights I may have in or with respect to any Company Inventions, even after termination of my work on behalf of the Company. "Moral Rights" mean any rights to claim authorship of or credit on a Company Inventions, to object to or prevent the modification or destruction of any Company Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to the Company under Section 6, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Company Inventions or Prior Inventions licensed to the Company under Section 6, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country or subdivision thereof in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a "moral right."

4.: Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain and from time to time enforce United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the Company's request on such assistance.

In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

5.: Obligation to Keep the Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under Section 2870; and I will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Company will keep in confidence and will not disclose to third parties without my consent any proprietary information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the provisions of Section 2870. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under Section 2870.

I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

6.: Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto a complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as "Prior Inventions"). If disclosure of any such Invention on Exhibit A would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Inventions in Exhibit A but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on Exhibit A for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company's prior written consent.
7.: Additional Activities. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company's express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity other than with the Company. I agree further that for the period of my employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date of termination of my employment by the Company I

will not (i) induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or (ii) solicit the business of any client or customer of the Company (other than on behalf of the Company).

8.: No Improper Use of Materials. During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.

I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.

9.

No Conflicting Obligation. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

10.

Return of Company Documents. When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company. I further agree that any property situated on the Company's premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company's termination statement for technical and management personnel.

11.

Legal and Equitable Remedies. Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

12.

Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three days after the date of mailing.

13.

General Provisions.

13.1: Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California.
13.2: Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the attached addendum is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. As used

in this Agreement, the period of my employment includes any time during which I may be retained by the Company as a consultant.

13.3: Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed unenforceable by law, then such provision will be deemed stricken from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
13.4: Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.
13.5: Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.
13.6: Employment. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company's right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause.
13.7: Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS.
