The parties agree as follows:
1. Employment. Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such
employment, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2. Duties.
2.1 Position. Executive is employed as Chief Technology
Officer and shall have the duties and responsibilities assigned by Company’s
Chief Executive Officer as may be reasonably assigned from time to time. Executive shall perform faithfully and
diligently all duties assigned to Executive.
Company reserves the right to modify Executive’s position and duties at
any time in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.2 Best
Efforts/Full-time. Executive will
expend Executive’s best efforts on behalf of Company, and will abide by all
policies and decisions made by Company, as well as all applicable federal,
state and local laws, regulations or ordinances. Executive will act in the best interest of Company at all
times. Executive shall devote Executive’s
full business time and efforts to the performance of Executive’s assigned duties
for Company, unless Executive notifies the Chief Executive Officer in advance
of Executive’s intent to engage in other paid work and receives the Chief
Executive Officer’s express written consent to do so.
2.3 Work
Location. Executive’s principal place
of work shall be located in San Diego,
California, or such other location as the parties may agree upon from
time to time.
3. At-Will
Employment Relationship.
Executive’s employment with Company is at-will and not for any specified
period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause, by either
Executive or Company, subject to section 7 below and its subparts. No representative of Company, other than the
Chief Executive Officer, has the authority to alter the at-will employment
relationship. Any change to the at-will
employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by
Executive and Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed
to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.
4. Compensation.
4.1 Base
Salary. As compensation for
Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, Company shall pay to
Executive an initial Base Salary of
$350,000 per year, payable in accordance with the normal payroll
practices of Company, less required deductions for state and federal
withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and payroll
deductions. In the event Executive’s
employment under this Agreement is terminated by either party, for any reason,
Executive will earn the Base Salary prorated to the date of termination.
4.2 Incentive
Compensation. Executive will be
eligible to receive incentive compensation, the terms, amount and payment of
which shall be determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
4.3 Performance

periodically review Executive’s performance on no less than an annual

compensation, if any, will be made by the Company in its sole and absolute
discretion.
5. Customary
Fringe Benefits. Executive will be
eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to
executives of Company subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit
plan documents. Company reserves the
right to change or eliminate the fringe benefits on a prospective basis, at any
time, effective upon notice to Executive.
6. Business
Expenses. Executive will be
reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in the
performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of Company. To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be
submitted promptly with appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with
Company’s policies.
7. Termination
of Executive’s Employment.
7.1 Termination
for Cause by Company. Although
Company anticipates a mutually rewarding employment relationship with
Executive, Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time
for Cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with
respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of
Company; (b) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or Company’s Invention
and Non-Disclosure and Arbitration Agreement; (c) Executive’s conviction
or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or
embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude or dishonesty; (d) Executive’s willful neglect of duties as
determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board of Directors;
(e) Executive’s failure to perform the
essential functions of Executive’s position, with or without reasonable
accommodation, due to a mental or physical disability; (f) misconduct by
Executive that materially jeopardizes the Company’s right or ability to operate
its business; (g) Executive’s violation of any of the Company’s material
policies or procedures, including without limitation, Company’s Equal
Employment Opportunity and Anti-Harassment policies; or (h) Executive’s death. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance
with this subsection 7.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base
Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination. All other Company obligations to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely
extinguished. Executive will not be
entitled to receive the Severance Payment described in subsection 7.2 below.
7.2 Termination
Without Cause by Company/Severance.
Executive’s employment is at-will and Company can terminate the
employment relationship at any time without Cause. In the event of such termination without cause, Executive will
receive the Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination,
and a “Severance Payment” equivalent to one year of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect on the date of termination,
payable in accordance with Company’s regular payroll cycle, provided that
Executive: (a) complies with all
surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 13.8
below; (b) executes a full general release acceptable to Company, releasing all
claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have against Company arising out
of or any way related to Executive’s employment or termination of employment
with Company; (c) agrees to provide transition assistance to
2
Company, without further
compensation, for 3 months following the termination of the employment
relationship; and (d) agrees, without further compensation, to provide
information and assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with
litigation in which Company or Executive is a party.
In addition to the
Severance Payment, Company shall pay for Executive’s COBRA coverage during
payout period of the Severance Payment.
All other Company obligations to Executive will be automatically
terminated and completely extinguished.
7.3 Voluntary
Resignation by Executive. Executive
may voluntarily resign Executive’s position with Company, at any time on sixty
(60) days’ advance written notice. In the event of Executive’s voluntary
resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive the Base Salary and employee
benefits for the 60-day notice period.
All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement
will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, Executive will not be entitled
to receive the Severance Payment described in subsection 7.2 above. Company reserves the right to relieve
Executive of Executive’s duties during the 60-day notice period in which case
Executive will continue to receive salary and benefits as if Executive were
actively working.
8. No
Other Agreements
8.1 No
Prior Agreements Relating to Terms of Employment and Severance. Executive and Company wish to replace and
invalidate any previously agreed upon terms of employment or severance
obligations, and set forth in this Agreement all of Company’s obligations to Executive
concerning the terms of Executive’s employment and severance. By signing this Agreement, Executive agrees
that any prior letters, memoranda, emails, or any other agreements, whether
written or verbal, relating to the terms of Executive’s employment and
Executive’s severance are invalid and superseded by this Agreement.
8.2 Inapplicability to
Option Grants. This Agreement does
not incorporate, supersede, or in any way affect stock option grants between

9. No
Conflict of Interest. During the
term of Executive’s employment with Company and during any period Executive is
receiving payments from Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive must not
engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential
conflict of interest with Company. Such
work shall include, but is not limited to, directly or indirectly competing
with Company in any way, or acting as an officer, director, employee,
consultant, stockholder, volunteer, lender, or agent of any business enterprise
of the same nature as, or which is in direct competition with, the business in
which Company is now engaged or in which Company becomes engaged during the
term of Executive’s employment with Company, as may be determined by the Board
of Directors in its sole discretion. If
the Board of Directors believes such a conflict exists during the term of this
Agreement, the Board of Directors may ask Executive to choose to discontinue
the other work or resign employment with Company. If the Board of Directors believes such a conflict exists during
any period in which Executive is receiving payments pursuant to this Agreement,
the Board of Directors may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other
work or forfeit the remaining severance payments. In addition, Executive agrees not to refer any client or
potential client of Company to competitors of Company, without obtaining
Company’s prior written consent, during the term of Executive’s employment and
during any period in which Executive is receiving payments from Company
pursuant to this Agreement.
