     procedures at any time upon reasonable notice. (Also see Adjustments and

          consistent with the needs of the business; provided that any of the
          foregoing changes shall be subject to his rights under this Agreement.

                Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement

     6.   Mr. Wilson agrees that he is bound by the terms of the Company's

                                  Severability

     10.  If any term of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void or
          unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full
          force and effect and shall in no way be affected, and the parties
          shall use their best efforts to find an alternative way to achieve the
          same result. This Agreement shall be governed by California law.

     Mr. Wilson and the Company agree to and accept the terms expressed in this
     Agreement. Mr. Wilson acknowledges that this is not an employment contract
     for any fixed period, and that either party may end the employment
     relationship at any time for any reason subject to the terms set forth
