Consultant may perform the Services at his home office, at his discretion.  Company shall provide Consultant with reasonable notice if Company would like Consultant to be present at any meeting.  While it is expected that Consultant shall not be required to render more than 15 hours of Services each calendar month, Consultant understands and acknowledges that the time required for the performance of the Services hereunder will vary from week to week, and that Consultants time commitment hereunder may vary depending upon the demands of Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall not be obligated to perform consulting services at a level exceeding 20% of the average level of bona fide services that Consultant performed for the Company as an employee over the 36 month period immediately preceding the Effective Date.

(b)Compensation.  Company shall pay Consultant at a rate of $275,000 per year for the Services provided by Consultant to the Company (irrespective of the number of hours of Services Consultant renders in a month), commencing on the Effective Date and prorated for the applicable calendar month if the Effective Date is after the first of the applicable calendar month or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the end of a calendar month.

not withhold any taxes from any amounts paid to Consultant.

Nothing in this Agreement shall cause either party to be responsible for any action, omission, or inaction of the other party.  (c)Equitable Remedies.  Because the Services are personal and unique and because Consultant will have access to Confidential Information of Company, Company is entitled to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach of this Agreement, without the need for the posting of security and even if injunctive relief is sought to remedy a past, existing or threatened breach of contract.  (d)Attorneys Fees.  If any action is necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled.  (e)Governing Law; Venue; Severability.  This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California excluding that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.  Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought, if at all possible, in the state or federal courts within California, and the parties irrevocably agree to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such purposes.  If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.  (f)Notices.  All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and be sent by facsimile or electronic mail, with confirmed transmission and receipt or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger to the address specified on the signature page of this Agreement or such other address as the receiving party specifies in writing, and will be effective upon its mailing as specified.
