Separation Date and Consulting Period

 

Dear Ta-Wei,

 

This amended and restated consulting agreement amends and supercedes the prior
consulting agreement between you and TiVo Inc. (the “Company”), dated August 3,
2004. The effective date of this amended and restated agreement is August 3,
2004.

 

Your employment with the Company will terminate on August 3, 2004 (the
“Separation Date”). For the period commencing on the Separation Date and ending
nine (9) months later on May 2, 2005 (the “Consulting Period”), you agree to
provide consulting services to the Company, on such dates and times as the
Company may request and that are reasonably agreeable to you, to complete the
business that you had begun in the areas of manufacturing and licensing based on
the scope of your duties during your term of employment with the Company. In
order to compensate you as a non-employee consultant, your existing stock
options that would have vested according to their original vesting schedules
during the Consulting Period will be accelerated and shall immediately vest as
of your Separation Date and these stock options, along with your currently
vested stock options, shall remain exercisable during the Consulting Period. You
will have the standard ninety (90) days from the date of the end of the
Consulting Period to exercise your vested stock options before they terminate.
