4.2    Representations and Warranties of Employer Group. Employer Group
represents and warrants that
a.    to its knowledge, each of the (i) Stock Purchase Agreement as amended by
the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, (ii) Promissory Note (as defined
in the Second Amendment), and (iii) Tax Indemnity Agreement (collectively,
“Employer Group Arrangements”) remains in full force and effect on the date

and the Consulting Agreement will not terminate, impair, or adversely impact (i)
any rights of Employee under any of the Employer Group Arrangements, (ii)

Arrangements, and (iii) any of the Employer Group Arrangements.
5.    Release of Age Discrimination Claims. Employee understands that the
general release in Section 4 above includes a waiver of any and all rights and
claims Employee had or may claim to have against Employer Group as well as any
of the other Releasees, including any rights and claims which Employee may claim
to have arising under the ADEA. Employee admits that this Agreement satisfies
the requirements of 29 U.S.C. § 626(f). Employee also acknowledges and agrees

represents that Employee has been advised in writing by this Agreement to
consult with an attorney of his choosing regarding the waiver of rights and
claims under the ADEA. Employee also acknowledges that Employee has obtained and
considered such legal counsel as Employee deems necessary, such that Employee is
entering into this Agreement freely, knowingly, and voluntarily. Employee

in which to consider whether or not to enter into this Agreement. Employee
understands that, at Employee’s option, Employee may elect not to use the full

6.    Waiver. Employee understands and agrees that all of Employee’s rights
under California Civil Code Section 1542 are expressly waived. Employee
understands that Section 1542

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.
Employee understands that waiving Employee’s rights under Civil Code Section
1542 means that even if Employee should eventually suffer some damage arising
out of his employment and/or separation from employment with Employer Group or
any of the other Releasees, that Employee will not be able to make any claims
for those damages, even as to claims which may now exist, but which Employee
does not know exist, and which if known would have affected Employee’s decision
to sign this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the discovery of facts or law
different from, or in addition to, the facts or law that Employee knows or
believes to be true with respect to the claims released in this Agreement and
agrees, nonetheless, that this Agreement and the releases contained in it shall
be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or
additional facts or the discovery of them. Employee further declares and
represents that Employee intends this Agreement to be complete and not subject
to any claim of mistake, and that the releases herein express full and complete
releases by Employee and the other Releasors, and that Employee intends that the
general release by Employee herein shall be final and complete with respect to
Employer Group as well as all other Releasees. Employee has executed this
Agreement with the full knowledge that the general release in Section 4 combined
with Employee’s waiver of any rights under Civil Code Section 1542 cover all
possible claims against Employer Group and any of the other Releasees, to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
7.    No Assignment. Employee warrants and represents that Employee has not
assigned or transferred to any person any released matter or any right to the
payment or other consideration provided by this Agreement. Employee agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold Employer Group and any of the other Releasees
harmless from any and all claims based on or in connection with or arising out
of any such assignment or transfer made, purported or claimed.
8.    No Wrongdoing. Employee understands that, by signing this Agreement,
Employer Group does not admit any wrongdoing and makes no admission that it or
any of the other Releasees has engaged, or is now engaging, in any unlawful
conduct. Employee is also admitting no wrongdoing by signing this Agreement.
Employer Group and Employee agree that this Agreement may never be treated as an
admission of liability by any party for any purpose. Employer Group and Employee
also agree that no use of this Agreement or any comments made by either party
during the discussions or negotiations regarding this Agreement will be used by
a party or their representatives in connection with any subsequent legal action
except for an action to enforce this Agreement.
9.    Confidential Information. Employee understands that obligations under any
confidentiality agreement signed by Employee during his employment with Employer
Group remain in effect and survive the termination of Employee’s employment with
Employer Group, provided that, Employer Group agrees as follows:
a.    The following information shall not be deemed to be confidential or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

proprietary information of Employer Group under any confidential agreement
signed during my employment: (i) information known to Employee prior to its
disclosure by Employer Group; (ii) information that is or that thereafter
becomes generally known or part of the public domain without breach of or
violation by Employee of any such confidentiality agreement; or (iii)
information that was received by or disclosed to Employee from a third party

Accordingly, Employer Group’s use or disclosure of the foregoing information
shall not be deemed a breach or violation of any confidentiality agreement
signed by Employee during his employment with Employer Group.
b.    To the extent any confidentiality agreement entered into by Employee and
Employer Group conflicts with or is contrary to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 9, any such confidentiality agreement is hereby deemed
automatically amended, modified, and superseded accordingly.
10.    Confidentiality of Agreement. Employee agrees that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are strictly confidential and shall not be
discussed, disclosed or revealed by Employee to any third party, except to
Employee’s attorneys, tax advisors, and spouse, and except insofar as Employee
is compelled by law to disclose it. When releasing this information to any such
person, Employee agrees to advise the person receiving the information of its
confidential nature.
11.    Non-Disparagement. In addition to any other non-disparagement agreement
to which Employee may be bound, Employee expressly agrees that Employee will not
in any way disparage or otherwise cause to be published or disseminated any
negative statements, remarks, comments or information regarding Employer Group
or any of the other Releasees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not
be restrained or prohibited, and it shall not be a breach of this Agreement by
Employee if Employee makes any statements in any letters, legal filings or other
related documents or proceedings in each case in connection with or arising out
of the pursuit of a claim that Employee has not released under this Agreement.

understands the nature of this Agreement, that Employee has been advised to
consult with an attorney of his choosing before executing this Agreement, that
Employee has had the opportunity to consider this Agreement, and that all of
Employee’s questions concerning this Agreement have been answered to his
satisfaction. Employee also agrees that any rule of construction to the effect
that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not apply in
the interpretation of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement together
with the exhibits hereto set forth the entire agreement between Employee and
Employer Group concerning Employee’s severance pay and benefits and Employee’s
termination of employment. Any other contrary promises, written or oral, are
replaced by this Agreement, and are no longer effective unless they are
contained in this document or are expressly deemed to survive the cessation of
Employee’s employment with Employer Group in accordance with the terms of the
written document in which they are contained. The validity, interpretation and
performance of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to
the laws of the State of California. Any action arising out of or relating to

an arbitrator, JAMS shall select the arbitrator. Arbitration shall be located in

Exhibit A
NON-DISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
During the term of the Agreement, the COMPANY may share certain proprietary
information with the Consultant in connection with the Services. Therefore, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definition of Confidential Information.
(a)    For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any data
or information that is proprietary to the COMPANY and not generally known to the
public, whether in tangible or intangible form, whenever and however disclosed,
including, but not limited to: (i) any marketing strategies, plans, financial
information, or projections, operations, sales estimates, business plans and
performance results relating to the past, present or future business activities
of such party, its affiliates, subsidiaries and affiliated companies; (ii) plans
for acquisitions, dispositions, products or services, and investor, customer or
supplier lists; (iii) any scientific or technical information, regulatory
processes, regulatory inquiries, invention, design, process, procedure, formula,
improvement, technology or method; (iv) any concepts, business plans, reports,
data, know-how, works-in-progress, designs, development tools, specifications,
computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions,
information and trade secrets; and (v) any other information that should
reasonably be recognized as confidential information of the COMPANY.
Confidential Information need not be novel, unique, patentable, copyrightable or
constitute a trade secret in order to be designated Confidential Information.
The Consultant acknowledges that the Confidential Information is proprietary to
the COMPANY, has been developed and obtained through great efforts by the
COMPANY and that the COMPANY regards all of its Confidential Information as
trade secrets.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Confidential
Information shall not include information which: (i) was known by the Consultant
prior to receiving the Confidential Information from the COMPANY; (ii) becomes
rightfully known to the Consultant from a third-party source not known (after
diligent inquiry) by the Consultant to be under an obligation to the COMPANY to
maintain confidentiality; (iii) is or becomes publicly available through no
fault of or failure to act by the Consultant in breach of this Agreement; (iv)
is required to be disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or is
otherwise requested or required to be disclosed by law or regulation, although
the requirements of paragraph 4 hereof shall apply prior to any disclosure being
made; and (v) is or has been independently

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

developed by employees, consultants or agents of the Consultant without
violation of the terms of this Agreement or reference or access to any
Confidential Information.
2. Disclosure of Confidential Information.
From time to time, the COMPANY may disclose Confidential Information to the
Consultant. The Consultant will: (a) limit disclosure of any Confidential
Information to its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives
(collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential
Information in connection with the current or contemplated business relationship
between the parties to which this Agreement relates, and only for that purpose;
(b) advise its Representatives of the proprietary nature of the Confidential
Information and of the obligations set forth in this Agreement and require such
Representatives to keep the Confidential Information confidential; (c) shall
keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential by using a reasonable
degree of care, but not less than the degree of care used by it in safeguarding
its own confidential information; and (d) not disclose any Confidential
Information received by it to any third parties (except as otherwise provided
for herein). Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by
any of their respective Representatives.
3. Use of Confidential Information.
The Consultant agrees to use the Confidential Information solely in connection
with the current or contemplated business relationship between the parties and
not for any purpose other than as authorized by this Agreement without the prior
written consent of an authorized representative of the COMPANY. No other right
or license, whether expressed or implied, in the Confidential Information is
granted to the Consultant hereunder. Title to the Confidential Information will
remain solely in the COMPANY. All use of Confidential Information by the
Consultant shall be for the benefit of the COMPANY and any modifications and
improvements thereof by the Consultant shall be the sole property of the
COMPANY. Nothing contained herein is intended to modify the parties' existing
agreement that their discussions in furtherance of a potential business
relationship are governed by Federal Rule of Evidence 408.
4. Compelled Disclosure of Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Consultant may
disclose Confidential Information pursuant to any governmental, judicial, or
administrative order, subpoena, discovery request, regulatory request or similar
method, provided that the Consultant promptly notifies, to the extent
practicable, the COMPANY in writing of such demand for disclosure so that the
COMPANY, at its sole expense, may seek to make such disclosure subject to a
protective order or other appropriate remedy to preserve the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information; provided in the case of a broad regulatory request
with respect to the Consultant’s business (not targeted at the COMPANY), the
Consultant may promptly comply with such request provided the Consultant give
(if permitted by such regulator) the COMPANY prompt notice of such disclosure.
The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultant agrees that it shall not oppose and shall cooperate with efforts by,
to the extent practicable, the COMPANY with respect to any such request for a
protective order or other relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the COMPANY
is unable to obtain or does not seek a protective order and the Consultant is
legally requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information,
disclosure of such Confidential Information may be made without liability.
5. Term.
The parties’ duty to hold in confidence Confidential Information that was
disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely.
6. Remedies.
Both parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information to be disclosed
hereunder is of a unique and valuable character, and that the unauthorized
dissemination of the Confidential Information would destroy or diminish the
value of such information. The damages to the COMPANY that would result from the
unauthorized dissemination of the Confidential Information would be impossible
to calculate. Therefore, both parties hereby agree that the COMPANY shall be
entitled to injunctive relief preventing the dissemination of any Confidential
Information in violation of the terms hereof. Such injunctive relief shall be in
addition to any other remedies available hereunder, whether at law or in equity.
The COMPANY shall be entitled to recover its costs and fees, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in obtaining any such relief. Further, in
the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
7. Return of Confidential Information.
The Consultant shall immediately return and redeliver to the other all tangible
material embodying the Confidential Information provided hereunder and all
notes, summaries, memoranda, drawings, manuals, records, excerpts or derivative
information deriving there from and all other documents or materials (“Notes”)
(and all copies of any of the foregoing, including “copies” that have been
converted to computerized media in the form of image, data or word processing
files either manually or by image capture) based on or including any
Confidential Information, in whatever form of storage or retrieval, upon the
earlier of (i) the completion or termination of the dealings between the parties
contemplated hereunder; (ii) the termination of this Agreement; or (iii) at such
time as the COMPANY may so request; provided however that the Consultant may
retain such of its documents as is necessary to enable it to comply with its
document retention policies. Alternatively, the Consultant, with the written
consent of the COMPANY may (or in the case of Notes, at the Consultant’s option)
immediately destroy any of the foregoing embodying Confidential Information (or
the reasonably nonrecoverable data erasure of computerized data) and, upon
request, certify in writing such destruction by an authorized officer of the
Consultant supervising the destruction).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Notice of Breach.
Consultant shall notify the COMPANY immediately upon discovery of any
unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by the Consultant or
its Representatives, or any other breach of this Agreement by the Consultant or
its Representatives, and will cooperate with efforts by the COMPANY to help the
COMPANY regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent its further
unauthorized use.
