of the Board of Directors of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, the
Company shall compensate Executive as follows:

2.1 BASE SALARY. The Company shall pay to Executive an annual base

all employee benefit and welfare programs, plans and arrangements (including,
without limitation, pension, profit-sharing, supplemental pension and other
retirement plans, insurance, hospitalization, medical and group disability
benefits, travel or accident insurance plans) and to receive fringe benefits,
such as dues and fees of professional organizations and associations, which
are from time to time available to the Company's executive personnel;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, there shall be no duplication of termination or severance
benefits, and to the extent that such benefits are specifically provided by
the Company to Executive under other provisions of this Agreement, the
benefits available under the foregoing plans and programs shall be reduced by
any benefit amounts paid under such other provisions. Executive shall during
the period of his employment hereunder continue to be provided with benefits
at a level which shall in no event be less in any material respect than the
benefits made available to Executive by the Company as of the date of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may terminate or reduce

benefits:

cash allowance for payment of health insurance premiums obtained by and for
Executive (and Executive's spouse and/or dependents) up to a maximum of Four

statements showing the actual amount of the health insurance premiums, and
the Company shall have the option to either pay the health insurance premiums
directly or to reimburse Executive for the health insurance premiums. The
Company shall have the option to obtain a group medical insurance plan which
covers Executive in place and stead of providing this monthly cash allowance.
However, in no event shall Executive be entitled to a cash payment for any
unused portion of the monthly allowance (i.e., if Executive's health
insurance premiums are $300.00 per month, Executive is not entitled to
receive cash for the unused $100.00 portion of the allowance).

(b) DISABILITY BENEFITS. In the event of Executive's failure
substantially to perform his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for a
period not exceeding 180 consecutive days or for periods aggregating not more
than 180 days during any twelve-month period as a result of incapacity due to
physical or mental illness, the Company shall continue to pay the Base Salary
to Executive during the period of such incapacity, but only in the amounts
and to the extent that disability benefits payable to Executive under
Company-sponsored insurance policies are less than Executive's Base Salary.
Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, including any renewals
hereof, the Company shall procure and maintain, at its own expense, a
long-term disability insurance policy for the benefit of Executive in the
event of Executive's total disability (as defined in Section 6.1).

(a) Executive covenants and agrees to hold in strictest confidence,
and not disclose to any person without the express written consent of the
Company, any and all of the Company's proprietary information, as defined in
Subparagraph (c) below, except as such disclosure may be required in
connection with his employment hereunder. This covenant and agreement shall
survive this Agreement and continue to be binding upon Executive after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, whether by passage of time or

information.

(b) Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason,
Executive shall immediately turnover to the Company any "Proprietary
Information." Executive shall have no right to retain any copies of any
material qualifying as Proprietary Information for any reason whatsoever

express written consent of the Company.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Proprietary Information" means
and includes the following: the identity of clients or customers or potential
clients or customers of the Company or its affiliates; any written, typed or
printed lists, or other materials identifying the clients or customers of the
Company or its affiliates; Research & Development programs, plans and
discoveries; product development, marketing, and plans; any business plans or

affiliates in the conduct of their business; any lists, documents, manuals,
records, forms or other materials used by the Company or its affiliates in
the conduct of their business; any descriptive materials describing the
methods and procedures employed by the Company or its affiliates in the
conduct of their business; and any other secret or confidential information
concerning the Company's or its affiliates' business or affairs. The terms

are not limited to a physical writing or compilation but also include any and
all information whatsoever regarding the subject matter of the "list" or
"documents," whether or not such compilation has been reduced to writing.
"Proprietary Information" shall not include any information which: (i) is or
becomes publicly available through no act or failure of Executive; (ii) was
or is rightfully learned by Executive from a source other than the Company
before being received from the Company; or (iii) becomes independently
available to Executive as a matter of right from

a third party. If only a portion of the Proprietary Information is or becomes
publicly available, then only than portion shall not be Proprietary
Information hereunder.

(d) Executive acknowledges that he is the Chairman of the Board of
the Company and in such capacity he will be a representative of the Company
with respect to clients and potential clients of the Company. Executive also
acknowledges that he has had and will continue to have access to confidential
information about the Company, its affiliates, and their clients and that
"Proprietary Information" acquired by him at the expense of the Company is
for use in its business. Executive has substantial experience in the
management of entrepreneurial companies and possesses special, unique,
extraordinary skills and knowledge in this field. Executive's management and
financial services to the Company are special, unique and extraordinary and
the success or failure of the Company is dependent upon his discharge of his
duties and obligations. Accordingly, by execution of this Agreement, and
subject to Subparagraph (c) hereof, Executive agrees that during his
employment with the Company and for a period of Two (2) years immediately
after termination of his employment with the Company (the "Non-Competition
Period"), he shall not violate the provisions of Section 5.2.

5.2 COMPETITION.

(a) During the Non-Competition Period specified in Section 5.1(d),
Executive shall not:

(i) Except as a passive investor in publicly-held companies,
and except for investments held as of the date hereof, directly or indirectly
own, operate, mange, consult with, control, participate in the management or
control of, be employed by, maintain or continue any interest whatsoever in
any company that directly competes with the Company or any parent
corporation, subsidiary corporation, or affiliated entity or company
(hereinafter referred to as an "Affiliate") in the United States; or

(ii) Directly or indirectly solicit any business of a nature
that is directly competitive with the business of the Company or an Affiliate
from any individual or entity that obtained such products or services from
the Company or its Affiliates at any time during his employment with the
Company; or

(iii) Directly or indirectly solicit any business of a nature
that is directly competitive with the business of the Company or an Affiliate
from any individual or entity solicited by him on behalf of the Company or
its Affiliates; or

(iv) Employ, or directly or indirectly solicit, or cause the
solicitation of, any employees of the Company or its Affiliates who are in
the employ of the Company or its Affiliates on the termination date of his
employment hereunder for employment by others.

8


(b) Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that:

(i) The Company and its Affiliates have protected business
interests throughout North America, Europe, and Asia and that competition
with and against such business interests would be harmful to the Company
and/or its Affiliates;

(ii) This covenant not to compete is reasonable as to time and
geographical area and does not place any unreasonable burden upon him;

(iii) The general public will not be harmed as a result of
enforcement of this covenant not to compete;

(iv) He has had the opportunity to review this covenant not to
compete with his own independent legal counsel; and

(v) He understands and hereby agrees to each and every term and
condition of to this covenant not to compete (including, without limitation,
the provisions of Section 5.4).

5.3 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. During the term of this Agreement and the
Non-Competition Period, neither Executive nor the Company shall disparage the
other, and neither shall disclose to any third party the conditions of
Executive's employment with the Company except as may be required (i)
pursuant to applicable law or regulations, including the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) to effectuate the
provisions of employee plans or programs and insurance policies, or (iii) as
may be otherwise contemplated herein or unless such information becomes
publicly available without fault of the party making such disclosure.

5.4 REMEDIES. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that this
covenant not to compete is necessary for the protection of the Company and
its affiliates because of the nature and scope of their business and his
position with the Company. Further, Executive acknowledges that any breach of
this covenant not to compete would result in irreparable damage to the
Company, and in the event of his breach of this covenant not to compete,
money damages will not sufficiently compensate the Company for its injury
caused thereby, and that the remedy at law for any breach or threatened
breach of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 will be inadequate and, accordingly
agrees, that the Company shall, in addition to all other available remedies
(including without limitation, seeking such damages as it can show it has
sustained by reason of such breach), be entitled to injunctive relief or
specific performance and that in addition to such money damages he may be
restrained and enjoined from any continuing breach of this covenant not to
compete without any bond or other security being required of any court.
Executive further acknowledges and agrees that if the covenant not to compete
herein is deemed to be unenforceable and/or the Executive fails to comply
with this Article V, the Company

9


has no obligation to provide any compensation or other benefits described in
Article IV hereof.

5.5 OWNERSHIP OF INVENTIONS.

(a) During the employment by the Company, Executive will have access
to trade secrets, data, know-how, knowledge or other confidential information
originated in the Company or disclosed to the Company by others under
agreements to hold the same confidential (collectively referred to as
"Confidential Information"). Executive acknowledges that Confidential
Information includes any information not readily available to the public, and
includes not only technical information but also business information. In
addition, Executive may, during the period of employment, create, make,
develop or conceive inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, works
of authorship, developments, information, improvements, or trade secrets,
whether patentable or not, and whether solely or jointly with others, which
may or may not also constitute Confidential Information (collectively
referred to as "Inventions"). Executive agrees that all works of authorship
to which Executive contributes shall be considered "works made for hire" and
shall be the sole property of the Company.

(b) Executive agrees that Executive will neither utilize any
Confidential Information for Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of
anyone except the Company, nor disclose, disseminate, lecture upon or publish
articles about any Confidential Information to any one outside the Company,
or to any officer or employee of the Company not also having access to
Confidential Information, at any time either during or after employment by
the Company.

(c) Executive agrees to disclose promptly, in writing to Executive's
Supervisor, Company's Counsel and Chief Executive Officer, any Inventions
that Executive may make, develop or conceive, solely or jointly, during the
period of employment by the Company, or by its predecessors, successors in
business, subsidiaries, parents or affiliates. All such Inventions shall be
and remain the property of the Company. Executive hereby assigns to the
Company all Executive's rights, titles and interests in and to any such
Inventions, whether or not such Inventions may be reduced to practice during
the period of Executive's employment, and to execute all patent or copyright
applications, assignments and other documents, and to take all other steps
necessary, to vest in the Company the entire right, title and interest in and
to those Inventions and in and to any patents or copyrights obtainable
therefor in the United States and in foreign countries, all at the Company's
expense, but for no consideration to Executive in addition to Executive's
salary or wages. Executive agrees to keep adequate records of all Inventions
and make such records available to the Company.

(d) If the Company chooses to prosecute applications for patents or
copyrights for any such Inventions, the Company shall assume the entire
expense of preparing, filing and prosecuting such applications, through
counsel appointed

10


by the Company; provided, however, that the Company is under no obligation to
prosecute such applications. Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company
and do whatever is necessary or appropriate to obtain patents, copyrights or
other legal protections for Inventions. If Executive is incapacitated or
refuses to so cooperate for any reason, Executive hereby authorizes the
Company to act as Executive's agent and to take whatever actions, or execute
whatever documents, may be needed to carry out this Agreement.

(e) All records and other material pertaining to Confidential
Information, whether developed by Executive or others, shall be and remain
the property of the Company. Upon termination of Executive's employment with
the Company, all documents, records, notebooks and other material of any kind
pertaining to or containing Confidential Information then in Executive's
possession, or under Executive's control, whether prepared by Executive or
others, will be returned to the Company unconditionally.

(f) Executive shall not be obligated to assign any Invention which
relates to or would be useful in any business or activities in which the
Company is engaged if such Invention was conceived and reduced to practice by
Executive prior to Executive's employment with the Company, provided that all
such Inventions are listed at the time of employment on the attached Exhibit
"B." If no entry is made on Exhibit "B," then such entry shall be deemed to
be "none," whether or not Exhibit "B" is signed by Executive. Except as
listed on Exhibit "B," Executive will not assert any rights to any
Inventions, as having been made or acquired by Executive prior to being
employed by the Company.

(g) Executive shall not be obligated to assign any Invention which
may be wholly conceived by Executive after Executive leaves the employ of the
Company, except that Executive is so obligated if such Invention shall
involve the utilization of Confidential Information of the Company.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Executive shall not be obligated to assign to the Company and of Executive's
rights in an Invention that the Executive developed entirely on Executive's
own time without using the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities or
Confidential Information, except for those Inventions that either: (i)
relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of Invention, to
either the Company's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research
or development of the Company, or (ii) result from any work performed by the
Executive for the Company. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INVENTION
WHICH QUALIFIES FULLY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION
2870 OR ANY OTHER SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT LAW IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE
EXECUTIVE IS EMPLOYED. With regard to those Inventions which Executive is not
obligated to assign to the Company, Executive shall give the Company a right
of first refusal on any and all such Inventions and the right to meet any
firm offer of another for

11


such Inventions. The Company must exercise such right of first refusal within
thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from Executive setting forth
such offer.

physical or mental illness. If there is a dispute as to whether Executive is
or was physically or mentally unable to perform his duties under this
Agreement, such dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a licensed
physician agreed upon by the Board and Executive, or if an agreement cannot
be promptly reached, the Board and Executive each shall promptly select a
physician, and if these physicians cannot agree, the physicians shall
promptly select a third physician whose decision shall be binding on all
parties. If such a dispute arises, Executive shall submit to such
examinations and shall provide such information as such physician(s) may
request, and the determination of the physician(s) as to Executive's physical
or mental condition shall be binding and conclusive. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Executive participates in any group disability plan provided by
the Company which offers long-term disability benefits, "Total Disability"
shall mean total disability as defined therein.

6.2 KEY MAN INSURANCE. The Company shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to purchase "key man" insurance on the life of Executive. The
Company shall be the owner and beneficiary of any such policy. If the Company
elects to purchase a policy, Executive shall take such physical examinations
and supply such information as may be reasonably requested by the insurer.

6.3 MITIGATION OF DAMAGES; NO SET-OFF; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(a) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise,

15

nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced
by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by
another employer after the date of termination of his employment hereunder or
otherwise. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this
Agreement shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim or action which the Company may have against Executive.

(b) If there shall be any dispute between the Company and Executive
(i) in the event of any termination of Executive's employment by the Company,
whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any
termination of employment by Executive, whether Good Reason existed, or (iii)
otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute
resolution procedures set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto, the provisions of
which are incorporated as a part hereof, and the parties hereto hereby agree
that such dispute resolution procedures shall be the exclusive method for
resolution of disputes under this Agreement. In the event of a dispute
hereunder as to whether a termination by the Company was for Cause or by the
Executive for Good Reason, until there is a resolution and award as provided
in Exhibit "A," the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits,
to Executive and/or Executive's family or other beneficiaries, as the case
may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide hereunder as
though such termination were by the Company without Cause or by Executive for
Good Reason and shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel
for Executive in connection with such dispute resolution; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amounts or any
legal fees and expenses pursuant to this Subparagraph (b) except upon receipt
of a written undertaking by or on behalf of Executive (and/or Executive's
family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be) to repay, without interest
or penalty, as soon as practicable after completion of the dispute resolution
(A) all such amounts to which Executive (or Executive's family or other
beneficiaries, as the case may be) is ultimately adjudged to not be entitled
with respect to the payment of such disputed amount(s) and (B) in addition,
in the case of legal fees and expenses, a proportionate amount of legal fees
and expenses attributable to any of Executive's claim(s) or any of
Executive's defenses or counter-claim(s), if any, which shall have been found
by the dispute resolver to have been frivolous or without merit.

6.4 SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon
any successor to the Company and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Executive's personal or legal representatives, beneficiaries,
designees, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees.

6.5 MODIFICATION; NO WAIVER. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. No
term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor
shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this
Agreement, except by written instrument by the party charged with such waiver
or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such

16


waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and
shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as
to any other term or condition.

6.6 SEVERABILITY. The covenants and agreements contained herein are
separate and severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any one or
more of such covenants or agreements, if not material to the employment
arrangement that is the basis for this Agreement, shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other covenant or agreement contained
herein. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce one
or more of the covenants or agreements contained herein because the duration
thereof is too long, or the scope thereof is too broad, it is deemed reduced
to the extent necessary to permit the enforcement of such covenants or
agreements.

6.7 NOTICES. All the notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
parties hereto at the following addresses:

If to the Company, to it at:

If Executive, to him at:

6.8 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and any rights hereunder shall not be
assignable by either party without the prior written consent of the other
party except as otherwise specifically provided for herein.

6.9 ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING. This Agreement (together with the Exhibit
incorporated as a part hereof) constitutes the entire understanding between
the parties hereto and no agreement, representation, warranty or covenant has
been made by either party except as expressly set forth herein.

6.10 EXECUTIVE'S REPRESENTATIONS. Executive represents and warrants that
neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of
his duties hereunder violates the provisions of any other agreement to which
he is a party or by which he is bound.

17

6.11 LIABILITY OF COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO INSURANCE POLICY. Executive
has selected the insurer and policy referred to in Section 2.4(a) hereof, and
the Company shall not have any liability to Executive (or his beneficiaries)
should the insurance company which issues the policy referred to therein fail
or refuse to pay (whether voluntarily or by reason of any order, injunction
or otherwise) thereunder or if any rights or elections otherwise available to
Executive thereunder are restricted or eliminated.

6.12 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of California
applicable to contracts executed and wholly performed within such state.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement
as of the day and year first above written.

EXHIBIT "A"

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES


A. If a controversy should arise which is covered by Section
6.3 of Article VI, then not later than twelve (12) months from the date of the
event which is the subject of dispute either party may serve on the other a
written notice specifying the existence of such controversy and setting forth in
reasonably specific detail the grounds thereof ("Notice of Controversy");
PROVIDED THAT, in any event, the other party shall have at least thirty (30)
days from and after the date of the Notice of Controversy to serve a written
notice of any counterclaim ("Notice of Counterclaim"). The Notice of
Counterclaim shall specify the claim or claims in reasonably specific detail. If
the Notice of Controversy or the Notice of Counterclaim, as the case may be, is
not served within the applicable period, the claim set forth therein will be
deemed to have been waived, abandoned and rendered unenforceable.

B. Following receipt of the Notice of Controversy (or the
Notice of Counterclaim, as the case may be), there shall be a three (3) week
period during which the parties will make a good faith effort to resolve the
dispute through negotiation ("Period of Negotiation"). Neither party shall take
any action during the Period of Negotiation to initiate arbitration proceedings.

C. If the parties should agree during the Period of
Negotiation to mediate the dispute, then the Period of Negotiation shall be
extended by an amount of time to be agreed upon by the parties to permit such
mediation. In no event, however, may the Period of Negotiation be extended by
more than five (5) weeks or, stated differently, in no event may the Period of
Negotiation be extended to encompass more than a total of eight (8) weeks.

D. If the parties agree to mediate the dispute but are
thereafter unable to agree within one (1) week on the format and procedures for
the mediation, then the effort to mediate shall cease, and the Period of
Negotiation shall terminate four (4) weeks from the Notice of Controversy (or
the Notice of Counterclaim, as the case may be).

E. Following the termination of the Period of Negotiation, the
dispute (including the main claim and counterclaim, if any) shall be settled by
arbitration, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The format and procedures of the arbitration are set forth
below (referred to below as the "Arbitration Agreement").

F. A notice of intention to arbitrate ("Notice of
Arbitration") shall be served within forty-five (45) days of the termination of
the Period of Negotiation. If the Notice of Arbitration is not served within
this period, the claim set forth in the Notice of

19

Controversy (or the Notice of Counterclaim, as the case may be) will be
deemed to have been waived, abandoned and rendered unenforceable.

G. The arbitration, including the Notice of Arbitration, will
be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association
except that the terms of this Arbitration Agreement shall control in the event
of any difference or conflict between such Rules and the terms of this
Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration shall be scheduled to take place in San
Diego, California.

H. The dispute resolver shall reach a decision on the merits
on the basis of applicable legal principles as embodied in the law of the State
of California.

I. There shall be one dispute resolver, regardless of the
amount in controversy. The dispute resolver will be empowered to render an award
and interim decisions and shall be a member of the bar of any of the fifty
States of the United States or of the District of Columbia. The dispute resolver
shall be promptly appointed pursuant to Rule 13 of the Commercial Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the dispute resolver has not been
appointed within forty-five (45) days of the AAA's initial transmission of lists
of potential arbitrators, then the AAA shall unilaterally designate the dispute
resolver.

J. At the time of appointment and as a condition thereto, the
dispute resolver will be apprised of the time limitations and other provisions
of this Arbitration Agreement and shall indicate such dispute resolver's
agreement to the Tribunal Administrator to comply with such provisions and time
limitations.

K. During the 30-day period following appointment of the
dispute resolver, either party may serve on the other a request for limited
numbers of documents directly related to the dispute. Such documents will be
produced within seven (7) days of the request.

L. Following the 30-day period of document production, there
will be a forty-five (45) day period during which limited depositions will be
permissible. Neither party will take more than five (5) depositions, and no
deposition will exceed three (3) hours of direct testimony.

M. Disputes as to discovery or prehearing matters of a
procedural nature shall be promptly submitted to the dispute resolver pursuant
to telephone conference call or otherwise. The dispute resolver shall make every
effort to render a ruling on such interim matters at the time of the hearing (or
conference call) or within five (5) business days thereafter.

N. Following the period of depositions, the arbitration
hearing shall promptly commence. The dispute resolver will make every effort to
commence the

20

hearing within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the deposition period
and, in addition, will make every effort to conduct the hearing on
consecutive business days to conclusion.

O. An award will be rendered, at the latest, within nine (9)
months of the date of the Notice of Arbitration and within thirty (30) days of
the close of the arbitration hearing. The award shall set forth the grounds for
the decision in reasonably specific detail and shall also specify whether any
claim (or defense or counterclaim) of Executive is found to be frivolous or
without merit and what proportion, if any, of his legal fees and expenses which
have been paid by the Company Executive shall be required to repay to the
Company in accordance with Section 6.3(b). The award shall be final and
nonappealable.

P. THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE
WAIVING THEIR RIGHTS TO A TRIAL IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND ARE ALSO WAIVING
THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
