(b)    You agree to perform the duties of your position and such other duties as may reasonably be assigned to you from time to time.

(c)    You agree that, while employed by the Company, you will comply in all material respects with all Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to your position, as in effect from time to time.

(b)    Bonus Compensation. For each fiscal year completed during your employment under this Agreement, you will be eligible to earn an annual bonus. Your target bonus will be $350,000 (the “Target Bonus”), with the actual amount of any such bonus being determined by the Board (or its designee) in its good faith discretion, based on the achievement of performance goals established by the Board in consultation with

3.    Confidential Information and Restricted Activities.

(a)    Confidential Information. During the course of your employment with the Company or other members of the Company Group, you will learn of Confidential Information, as defined below, and you will develop Confidential Information on behalf of the Company Group. You agree that you will not use or disclose to any Person (except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of your regular duties and responsibilities for the Company Group) any Confidential Information obtained by you incident to your employment or any other association with the Company or any member of the Company Group. You agree that this restriction will continue to apply after your employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement limits, restricts or in any other way affects your communicating with any governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any

official or staff person of a governmental agency or entity, concerning matters relevant to the governmental agency or entity. You understand that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in each case, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or for disclosing a trade secret in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. You further understand that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, you may disclose a trade secret to your attorney in connection with filing a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, and you may use such trade secret in that court proceeding, so long as any document containing such trade secret is filed under seal and you do not otherwise disclose such trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding this immunity from liability, you understand that you may be held liable if you unlawfully access trade secrets by unauthorized means.

(b)    Protection of Documents. All documents, records and files, in any media of whatever kind and description, relating to the business, present, as conducted during your employment, or otherwise, of the Company or any member of the Company Group, and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof, whether or not prepared by you (the “Documents”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You agree to safeguard all Documents and to surrender to the Company, at the time your employment terminates or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents then in your possession or control. You also agree to disclose to the Company, at the time your employment terminates or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all passwords necessary or desirable to obtain access to, or that would assist in obtaining access to, any information which you have password-protected on any computer equipment, network or system of the Company or any member of the Company Group.

(c)    Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. You agree to promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Company. You hereby assign and agree to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) your full right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property.

You will not charge the Company for time spent complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that you create during your employment shall be considered “work made for hire” and shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the Company. You acknowledge that this Section 3(c) shall not apply to any Invention (as defined below) that qualifies fully for exclusion under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870, the terms of which are set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

(d)    Restricted Activities. The Company agrees that, subject to your agreement to be bound by the restrictions set forth hereunder, it will grant you Confidential Information during the term of your employment. In consideration of this access, your employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group, and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you hereby acknowledge, you agree that the following restrictions on your activities during and after your employment are reasonable and necessary to protect the good will, Confidential Information, trade secrets and other legitimate interests of the Company and the members of the Company Group:

(i)    While you are employed by the Company Group, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise compete with the Company or any member of the Company Group in any geographic area in which the Company Group does business or is actively planning to do business during my employment (the “Restricted Area”) or undertake any planning for any business competitive with the Company or any member of the Company Group in the Restricted Area. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to work or provide services, in any capacity anywhere in the Restricted Area, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person that is engaged in any business that is competitive with all or any portion of the business of the Company Group, as conducted or in planning during your employment with the Company Group.

(ii)    While you are employed by the Company Group, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or encourage any customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business partner of the Company or any member of the Company Group to terminate or diminish its relationship with them; or (b) seek to persuade any such customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business partner or prospective customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business partner of the Company or any member of the Company Group to conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business partner or such prospective customer, client, vendor, supplier or other business partner conducts or could conduct with the Company or any member of the Company Group.

(iii)    While you are employed by the Company Group, you agree that you will not, and will not assist any other Person to, hire or engage any employee or independent contractor of the Company Group. While you are employed by the Company and during the twelve (12) month period immediately following termination of your employment, regardless of the reason therefor, you will not (a) solicit for hiring or engagement, any employee of the Company or any member of the Company Group or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any member of the Company Group to discontinue employment or (b) solicit or encourage any independent contractor providing services to the Company or any member of the Company Group to terminate or diminish his, her or its relationship with them. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “employee” or an “independent contractor” of the Company or any member of the Company Group is any person who was such at any time within the preceding twelve (12) months.

4

(iv)    Subject to the third to last sentence in Section 3(a) of this Agreement, in order to protect the goodwill of the Company Group, to the fullest extent permitted by law, both during and after the Restricted Period, you will not publicly criticize, denigrate or otherwise disparage any of the Company, any member of the Company Group, and each such entity’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, other service providers, products, processes, policies, practices, standards of business conduct, or areas or techniques of research, manufacturing or marketing. Nothing in this Section 3(d)(iv) shall prevent you from cooperating in any governmental proceeding or from providing truthful testimony pursuant to a legally-issues subpoena.

(e)    In signing this Agreement, you give the Company assurance that you have carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed on you under this Section 3. You agree without reservation that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company Group, and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. You further agree that, were you to breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 3, the damage to the Company Group would be irreparable. You therefore agree that the Company, in addition and not in the alternative to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by you of any of those covenants, without having to post bond, together with an award of its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder. So that the Company may enjoy the full benefit of the covenants contained in this Section 3, you further agree that the applicable restricted period shall be tolled, and shall not run, during the period of any breach by you of any of the covenants contained in this Section 3. You and the Company further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 3 is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. It is also agreed that each of the members of the Company Group shall have the right to enforce all of your obligations to that member under this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 3. Finally, no claimed breach of this Agreement or other violation of law attributed to the Company Group, or change in the nature or scope of your employment or other relationship with the Company or any member of the Company Group, shall operate to excuse you from the performance of your obligations under this Section 3.

4.    Termination of Employment. Your employment under this Agreement shall continue until terminated pursuant to this Section 4.

(a)    By the Company For Cause. The Company may terminate your employment for Cause upon notice to you setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the cause.

(b)    By the Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate your employment at any time other than for Cause upon notice to you.

You may terminate your employment with Good Reason at any time by providing the Company thirty (30) days written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the event giving rise to Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within forty-five (45) days of the occurrence of such event. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, your termination will be effective upon the date immediately following the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period.

(e)    Death and Disability. Your employment hereunder shall automatically terminate in the event of your death during employment. In the event you become disabled during employment and, as a result, are unable to continue to perform substantially all of your duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, either with or without reasonable accommodation, the Company will continue to pay you your base salary and to provide you benefits in accordance with Section 2(d) above, for up to twelve (12) consecutive weeks of disability during any period of three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days, or any such longer period permitted pursuant to any disability plan maintained by the Company Group. If you are unable to return to work after twelve (12) consecutive weeks of disability, the Company may terminate your employment, upon notice to you. If any question shall arise as to whether you are disabled, you shall, at the Company’s request, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom you or your guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether you are so disabled, and such determination shall for purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such a question arises and you fail to submit to the requested medical examination, the Company’s determination of the issue shall be binding on you.
