1.Communication Intelligence Corporation (the "Company" or “CIC”) wishes to
obtain your services as a consultant on projects agreed by you and the Company
in writing.  The initial project on which you are to work is described in
Exhibit A attached hereto.  This letter shall constitute an agreement ("the
Agreement") between you and the Company and contains all the terms and
conditions relating to the services you are to provide.  All work shall be work
made for hire.

 
 
2.Either you or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by at least

5.You shall be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by you in connection with your services under this Agreement, provided
that you provide receipts and obtain prior approval of the officer of the
Company named on Exhibit A (the "Responsible Officer") for such expenses.
Expenses including, but not limited to, professional association membership
fees, education, compensation to subcontractors and the cost of appropriate
business insurance are not reimbursable by the Company as they are considered
expenses incurred in maintaining a consulting business.

 
 
6.Your relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor
and not that of an employee. You will not be eligible for any employee benefits,
nor will the Company make deductions from your fees nor make payment for social
security, state or federal income tax, state or federal unemployment insurance,
or disability insurance, all of which shall be your responsibility. The Company
will not obtain workers' compensation insurance for you. You shall have no
authority to enter into contracts which bind the company or create obligations
on the part of the Company without the express prior written authorization of
the Company.

 
 
7.All services to be performed by you will be as agreed between you and the
Responsible Officer of the Company. There will be no supervision exercised over
the details, means or process of your work and the Company does not retain the
right to control these details. You shall report to the Responsible Officer
concerning your services performed under this Agreement. The nature and
frequency of these reports will be left to the discretion of the Responsible
Officer. This Agreement will have no formal reporting requirements except as to
the progress of the project, which may be subject to a deadline.

8.Consultant acknowledges that in connection with this Agreement it will receive

disclose such information to any other party except for the purposes hereof and

9.Neither Consultant nor any of its Associates shall remove any CIC property
from CIC's premises without the prior written consent of CIC. All Deliverables,
established by this agreement, shall be the sole property of CIC, and Consultant
hereby assigns to CIC all right, titles and interest in and to the Deliverables,
including but not limited to all patent rights, copyrights (including
audio-visual copyrights), trade secret rights and copyrights to future projects.

nominees in every reasonable way, at CIC's expense, to document, secure,

rights and other proprietary rights in and to the Deliverables. Consultant at
CIC's request will execute whatever documents are necessary to secure CIC's
rights in proprietary information including copyrights.

 
 
10.The Company understands that you do not presently perform or intend to
perform, during the term of this Agreement, consulting or other services for any
other companies where your service might represent a conflict of interest to CIC
(except for the companies, if any, listed in Exhibit B attached hereto). If,
however, you decide to do so, you agree to notify the Company in writing in
advance (specifying the organization with which you propose to consult) and
provide information sufficient to allow the Company to determine if such
consulting would conflict with areas of interest to the Company or further
services which the Company might request of you pursuant to this Agreement.

person or entity as a consultant.

 
 
12.You shall obtain business liability insurance and workers' compensation
insurance, if required by law, covering yourself and/or your employees during
the term of this Agreement. You may select the carrier for these insurance
policies. You shall pay the premiums for these insurance policies and these
premiums shall not be reimbursable by the Company.

 
 
13.You are advised to seek independent tax and legal advice concerning this
Agreement and are not relying on any tax, legal or other advice concerning this
Agreement from the Company or from any other firms providing professional
services for the Company.

 
 
14.Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing signed by you and the
Company.

governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to those
provisions related to choice of laws.

 
17.This Agreement supersedes any prior consulting or other agreements between
you and the Company.
