Company for any reason, he will not, within the United States, participate,
engage or have any interest in, directly or indirectly, any person, firm,
corporation, or business (where as an employee, officer, director, agent,
creditor, or consultant or in any capacity which calls for the rendering of
personal services, advice, acts of management, operation or control) which
carries on any business or activity competitive with the Company or any
affiliated company (including, without limitation, any products or services
sold, investigated, developed or otherwise pursued by the Company or any
affiliated company at any time or from time to time) without the prior written
consent of the Chief Executive Officer. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(a), the
“Noncompetition Period” shall be deemed to be the period during which Executive
is receiving salary continuation payments hereunder. Should Executive violate
his obligations under this Paragraph 7(a), any further salary continuation
payments or other severance benefits shall immediately cease. This Paragraph
7(a) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
               (b) Unauthorized Use of Confidential Information. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that (i) during the course of his employment Executive
will have produced and/or have access to Confidential Information (as defined in
subparagraph (c) hereof), of the Company and its affiliated companies, and
(ii) the unauthorized use or sale of any of such

3

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

 

confidential or proprietary information at any time would harm the Company and
would constitute unfair competition with the Company either during or after the
term of this Agreement. Therefore, during and subsequent to his employment by
the Company and its affiliated companies, Executive agrees to hold in confidence
and not, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy or make lists of any such
information, except to the extent expressly authorized by the Company in writing
or as required by law. All records, files, drawings, documents, equipment, and
the like, or copies thereof, relating to the Company’s business, or the business
of any of its affiliated companies, which Executive shall prepare, use, or come
into contact with, shall be and remain the sole property of the Company, and
shall not be removed (except to allow Executive to perform his responsibilities
hereunder while traveling for business purposes or otherwise working away from
his office) from the Company’s or the affiliated company’s premises without its
prior written consent, and shall be promptly returned to the Company upon
termination of employment with the Company and its affiliated companies. This
Paragraph 7 (b) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
               (c) Confidential Information Defined. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information (whether reduced to
written, electronic, magnetic or other tangible form) acquired in any way by
Executive during the course of his employment with the Company or any of its
affiliated companies concerning the products, projects, activities, business or
affairs of the Company and its affiliated companies, or the Company’s or any of
its affiliated company’s customers, including without limitation, (i) all
information concerning trade secrets of the Company and its affiliated
companies, including computer programs, system documentation, special hardware,
product hardware, related software development, manuals, formulae, processes,
methods, machines, compositions, ideas, improvements or inventions of the
Company and its affiliated companies, (ii) all sales and financial information
concerning the Company and its affiliated companies, (iii) all customer and
supplier lists of the Company and its affiliated companies, (iv) all information
concerning products or projects under development by the Company or any of its
affiliated companies or marketing plans for any of those products or projects,
and (v) all information in any way concerning the products, projects,
activities, business or affairs of customers of the Company or any of its
affiliated companies which was furnished to him by the Company or any of its
agents or customers; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not
include information which (A) becomes available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by Executive, (B) was available to him on a
non-confidential basis outside of his employment with the Company, or
(C) becomes available to him on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Company or any of its agents, creditors, suppliers, lessors, lessees or
customers.
               (d) Nonsolicitation of Employees. Executive recognizes and
acknowledges that it is essential for the proper protection of the business of
the Company and its affiliated companies that Executive be restrained for a
reasonable period following the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company and its affiliated companies from (i) soliciting or inducing any
employee of the Company or any of its affiliated companies to leave the employ
of the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and (ii) hiring or attempting
to hire any employee of the Company or any of its affiliated companies.
Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the term of his employment hereunder,
and for the Nonsolicitation Period thereafter following the termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliated companies for any
reason, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, hire, solicit, aid in

4

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

 

or encourage the hiring and/or solicitation of, contract with, aid in or
encourage the contracting with, or induce or encourage to leave the employment
of the Company or any its affiliated companies any employee of the Company or
any of its affiliated Companies. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(d), the
“Nonsolicitation Period” shall be deemed to be the longer of (i) two (2) years
following termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, or (ii) the
period during which Executive is receiving salary continuation payments
hereunder. Should Executive violate his obligations under this Paragraph 7(d),
any further salary continuation payments or other severance benefits shall
immediately cease. This Paragraph 7(d) shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.
               (e) Nonsolicitation of Customers. Executive recognizes and
acknowledges that it is essential for the proper protection of the business of
the Company and its affiliated companies that Executive be restrained for a
reasonable period following the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company and its affiliated companies from soliciting the trade of or trading
with the customers of the Company or any of its affiliated companies for any
competitive business purpose. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the term
of his employment hereunder, and for the Nonsolicitation Period thereafter
following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its
affiliated companies for any reason, Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, solicit, aid in or encourage the solicitation of, contract with, aid
in or encourage the contracting with, service, or contact any person or entity
which is, or was, within three years prior to the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company and its affiliated companies, a customer or client
of the Company or any of its affiliated companies for the purpose of offering or
selling a product or service competitive with any of those offered by the
Company or any of its affiliated companies. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(e),
the “Nonsolicitation Period” shall be deemed to be the longer of (i) two
(2) years following termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, or
(ii) the period during which Executive is receiving salary continuation payments
hereunder. Should Executive violate his obligations under this Paragraph 7(e),
any further salary continuation payments or other severance benefits shall
immediately cease. This Paragraph 7(e) shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement
               (f) Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Paragraph 7, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged
and agreed that any material breach of any of the covenants will cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company.
               (g) Blue-Penciling. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions contained herein are reasonable
and valid in geographic, temporal and subject matter scope and in all other
respects, and do not impose limitations greater than are necessary to protect
the goodwill, Confidential Information and other business interests of the
Company. Nevertheless, if any court determines that any of said noncompetition
and other restrictive covenants and agreements, or any part thereof, is
unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision,
such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
provision, as the case may be, and, in its

5

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

 

reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law.
               (h) Mutual Dependence. Executive understands and agrees that her
full compliance with Section 7 of this Agreement is an express condition for and
mutually dependent upon the obligations of the Company to pay Executive her
compensation and benefits, including severance pay, during the remainder of the
Term. Executive further understands and agrees that in the event that any
provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement are rendered void, invalid, illegal or
otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in substantial part, as a result of actions
not initiated by the Company or its agent, the Company’s obligations to pay
Executive her Base Salary, bonus or any other compensation and benefits,
including severance pay, may be terminated immediately.
          8. Termination.
               (a) For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company may, without liability, terminate Executive’s employment hereunder
for Cause (as defined below) at any time upon written notice from the Board (or
any duly authorized Committee thereof) specifying such Cause, and thereafter,
the Company’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate; provided,
however, that such written notice shall not be delivered until after the Board
(or any duly authorized Committee thereof) shall have given Executive written
notice specifying the conduct alleged to have constituted such Cause and
Executive has failed to cure such conduct, if curable, within fifteen (15) days
following receipt of such notice. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean
negligent or willful engagement in misconduct which, in the sole determination
of the Chief Executive Officer (or his designee), is injurious to the Company,
its employees, or its customers.
               (b) Arbitration Required to Confirm Cause. In the event of a
termination for Cause pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the Company shall
continue to pay Executive’s then current compensation as specified in this
Agreement until the issuance of an arbitration award affirming the Company’s
action. Such arbitration shall be held in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 12(d) below. In the event the award upholds the action of the Company,
Executive shall promptly repay to the Company any sums received pursuant to this
subparagraph 8(b), following termination of employment.
               (c) Other than For Cause, Performance, Reorganization.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may also terminate
Executive’s employment (without regard to any general or specific policies of
the Company relating to the employment or termination of its employees)
(i) should Executive fail to perform his duties hereunder in a manner
satisfactory to the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) should Executive’s position be
eliminated as a result of a reorganization or restructuring of the Company or
any of its affiliated companies, or (iii) for any other reason or reasons, in
the Company’s sole discretion.
               (d) Obligations of the Company on Termination of Employment.
                    (i) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment
pursuant to subparagraph 8(a) above and the Company’s action is affirmed as
specified in subparagraph 8(b) above or Executive terminates his employment with
the Company other than

6

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

 

for Good Reason (as defined in subparagraph (d)(iii) below), then all of the
Company’s obligations hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Executive
shall thereupon have no further right or entitlement to additional salary,
incentive compensation payments or awards, or any perquisites from the Company
whatsoever, and Executive’s rights, if any, under the Company’s employee and
executive benefit plans shall be determined solely in accordance with the
express terms of the respective plans.
                    (ii) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment
pursuant to subparagraph 8(c) above or Executive terminates his employment with
the Company for Good Reason prior to the expiration of the Term, then in lieu of
any benefits payable pursuant to the Company’s Executive Severance Policy (so
long as the compensation and benefits payable hereunder equal or exceed those
payable under said Policy) and in complete satisfaction and discharge of all of
its obligations to Executive hereunder, the Company shall, provided Executive is
not in breach of the provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof and except as provided in
Paragraph 9 below, and conditioned upon Executive’s execution of a full release
of claims, (A) provide Executive with monthly cash payments equal to Executive’s
final monthly base salary (“Severance”) for the remainder of the Term (the
“Severance Period”); provided that, if such payment is deferred in accordance
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
it shall accrue interest at the Deferred Compensation Administration Plan III
Rate (the “DCAP Rate”) for the period of such deferral, which interest shall be
paid together with such payment, and further provided that the Company’s
obligation to make such Severance payments shall be reduced by any compensation
received by Executive from a subsequent employer during the Severance Period,
(B) consider Executive for a bonus under the terms of the Company’s MIP for the
fiscal year in which termination occurs (but not for any subsequent year)
provided that any such bonus, if earned, shall be pro-rated to reflect the
portion of the year for which Executive was actively employed, and shall be made
at the time and in the manner applicable to MIP payments for current employees;
provided, however, that, if such payment is deferred in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), it shall accrue interest at the DCAP
Rate for the period of such deferral, which interest shall be paid together with
such payment, (C) continue Executive’s Executive Medical Plan benefits until the
end of the Severance Period, (D) subject to the express special forfeiture and
repayment provisions of the respective plans (or the terms and conditions
applicable thereto), continue the accrual and vesting of Executive’s rights,
benefits and existing awards for the remainder of the Severance Period for
purposes of the EBRP, ESBP, and the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (or
any other similar plan or arrangement); provided, however, that (unless
otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable plan; or unless the Board, or
any duly authorized Committee thereof, in its sole discretion determines
otherwise) Executive shall in no event receive or be entitled either to
additional grants or awards subsequent to the date of termination, nor “Approved
Retirement” status, under the foregoing plans, and (E) terminate Executive’s
participation in the Company’s tax-qualified profit-sharing plans, long-term
incentive plan, and stock purchase plans, pursuant to the terms of the
respective plans, as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment.
                    (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall
mean any of the following actions, if taken without the express written consent
of Executive: (A) any material change by the Company in Executive’s functions,
duties or responsibilities as Executive Vice President and Group President,
which change would cause Executive’s position

7

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

 

with the Company to become of less dignity, responsibility, importance, or scope
as compared to the position and attributes that applied to Executive as of the
Effective Date; (B) any reduction in Executive’s base salary, other than a
proportional reduction effected as part of an across-the board reduction
affecting all executive employees of the Company; (C) any material failure by
the Company to comply with any of the provisions of the Agreement; (D) the
Company’s requiring Executive to be based at any office or location more than 25
miles from the office at which Executive is based as of the Effective Date,
except for travel reasonably required in the performance of Executive’s
responsibilities; or (E) in the event of a Change in Control, any change in the
level of officer within the Company to whom Executive reports, as this reporting
relationship existed immediately prior to a Change in Control.
          9. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Paragraph 8(d), in the event of an occurrence of a Change in
Control, the following provisions shall apply in the event of Executive’s
termination of employment (i) within two (2) years following such Change in
Control, or (ii) within the six (6) month period immediately preceding such
Change in Control if such termination of employment occurs at the direction of
the person or entity that is involved in, or otherwise in connection with, such
Change in Control:
               (a) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment pursuant to
Paragraph 8(c) above or otherwise without Cause or Executive terminates his
employment with the Company for Good Reason, then the Company shall, in lieu of
the benefits payable under Paragraph 8(d)(ii) above, immediately pay to
Executive in a cash lump sum an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by Executive’s
Earnings and shall take all actions described in clauses (C) through (E) in
Paragraph 8(d)(ii) hereof; provided that, if such payment is deferred in
accordance with Section 409A, it shall accrue interest at the DCAP Rate for the
period of such deferral, which interest shall be paid together with such
payment. For purposes of this Section 9(a), “Earnings” shall mean the sum of
(i) Executive’s annual base salary and (ii) the greater of Executive’s target
bonus under the MIP or the average MIP bonus paid Executive over the prior three
fiscal years.
               (b) Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change
in Control” of the Company shall mean the occurrence of any change in ownership
of the Company, change in effective control of the Company, or change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v), the regulations thereunder, and any other published
interpretive authority, as issued or amended from time to time.
          10. Excise Tax Payment
               (a) If, as a result of Executive’s employment with the Company or
termination thereof, the benefits received by Executive under Section 9 above
(the “Total Payments”) are subject to the excise tax provision set forth in
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to Executive
an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained
by Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the benefits received
hereunder and any Federal, state and local income and employment taxes and
Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments.

8

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

 

               (b) For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments
will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of
the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” (within the meaning
of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax
Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to Executive and selected by the accounting firm
which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company’s independent
auditor (the “Auditor”), such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not
constitute parachute payments, including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of
the Code, (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax
unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole
or in part) represent “reasonable compensation” for services actually rendered
(within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the Base
Amount (as defined in Section, 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such
reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and
(iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall
be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of
Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount
of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at
the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in
which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the
highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s
residence on the date of termination (or if there is no date of termination,
then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this
Paragraph 10(b)), net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which
could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
               (c) In the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be
less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up
Payment, Executive shall repay to the Company, within five (5) business days
following the time that the amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is
finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such
reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise
Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the
Gross-Up Payment being repaid by Executive, to the extent that such repayment
results in a reduction in the Excise Tax and a dollar-for-dollar reduction in
Executive’s taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and local
income and employment taxes, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at
120% of the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event
that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account
hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the
Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in
respect of such excess plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by
Executive with respect to such excess) within five (5) business days following
the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. Executive and the
Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any
administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of
liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments.
               (d) Notwithstanding anything else herein, this Paragraph 10 shall
survive any termination of employment, any payments hereunder or any termination
of obligations hereunder; provided, however, that this Paragraph 10 shall not
survive any

9

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

 

termination of employment for Cause that occurs prior to a Change in Control or
any payments or termination of obligations in connection with such termination
for Cause.
          11. Compliance with Section 409A
     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
shall administer and construe this Agreement in accordance with Section 409A,
the regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other published interpretive
authority, as issued or amended from time to time, so as not to subject
Executive to the additional tax and interest imposed under Section 409A. To the
extent that the Company and/or Executive reasonably determine that any amount
payable under this Agreement would trigger the additional tax imposed by
Section 409A, the Company and Executive shall promptly agree in good faith on
appropriate modifications to the Agreement (including delaying or restructuring
payments) to avoid such additional tax yet preserve (to the nearest extent
reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to Executive. If Executive
incurs liability under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) as a direct result of the Company’s
failure to fulfill the foregoing obligations, the Company will indemnify and
hold Executive harmless from such liability; provided, however, that the Company
shall have no obligation under this provision for any such failures that are
attributable to Executive’s own willful acts or omissions or to Executive’s
demand for a distribution of benefits notwithstanding a recommendation of the
Company against the distribution.
          12. General Provisions
               (a) Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be
transferable by assignment or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
the consolidation of the Company with, or its merger into, any other
corporation, or the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its
properties or assets; and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be
binding upon and be enforceable by, any successor surviving or resulting
corporation, or other entity to which such assets shall be transferred. This
Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of
the Company.
               (b) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto in respect of the employment of Executive by the Company. This
Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior oral and written agreements,
understandings, commitments, and practices between the parties including, but
not limited to, the Prior Employment Agreement.
               (c) In the event Executive’s employment with the Company shall
terminate under circumstances otherwise providing Executive with a right to
benefits under both the Company’s Executive Severance Policy and
Paragraph 8(d)(ii) of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive the
greater of the benefits provided therein or herein, calculated individually,
without duplication.
               (d) Executive and the Company agree that any dispute, controversy
or claim between them, other than any dispute, controversy claim or breach
arising under Paragraph 7 of this Agreement, shall be settled exclusively by
final and binding arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the
Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA Rules”). A neutral and impartial arbitrator shall be chosen

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

 

by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree upon
an arbitrator within a reasonable period of time, then a neutral and impartial
arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the arbitrator nomination and
selection procedure set forth in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall apply the
same substantive law, with the same statutes of limitations and remedies, that
would apply if the claims were brought in court. The arbitrator also shall
prepare a written decision containing the essential findings and conclusions
upon which the decision is based. Either party may bring an action in court to
compel arbitration under this Agreement or to enforce an arbitration award.
Otherwise, neither party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit in any way
related to any claim subject to this agreement to arbitrate. Any arbitration
held pursuant to this Paragraph shall take place in San Francisco, California.
Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, unless a party prevails
on a statutory claim and the statute provides that the prevailing party is
entitled to payment of its attorneys’ fees. In that case, the arbitrator may
award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party as provided
by law. The Company agrees to pay any administrative costs and fees of the AAA,
as well as the costs and fees of the arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND
AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
               (e) Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that, in the
event the benefits provided hereunder are subject to the excise tax provision
set forth in Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
(i) Executive shall be responsible for, and (ii) Executive shall not be entitled
to any additional payment from the Company for any Federal, state, and local
income and employment taxes, interest or penalties that may arise in connection
with such benefits.
               (f) The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as
divisible, and if any of said provisions or any part hereof are declared invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and
enforceability of the remainder of such provisions or parts hereof and the
applicability hereof shall not be affected thereby.
               (g) This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a
written instrument executed by the Company and Executive.
               (h) This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.
