	a Change in Control shall have occurred after December 31, 2011 and a similar position is not available for the Executive; or 
	any material breach of this Agreement by the Company. 

In no event shall the Executive be considered to have terminated his employment for "Good Reason" unless and until (i) Parent or
the Company receives written notice from the Executive identifying in reasonable detail the acts or omissions constituting such "Good
Reason" and the provision of this Agreement relied upon by the Executive for such termination, and (ii) such acts or omissions are not
cured by Parent or the Company within 30 days of the Company's receipt of such notice. As used in this section (d), "Change in

more of the voting power of Parent's capital stock; or (B) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction that will result in
the transfer of ownership of more than 50% of voting power of Parent's capital stock or that will result in the issuance of new shares of
Parent's capital stock with voting power equal to more than 50% of the amount of the voting power of Parent capital stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance; or (C) liquidation or dissolution of Parent or sale of substantially all of Parent's assets.

illness or incapacity for a period of three consecutive months, or for a period of six months, whether or not consecutive, during
any 12-month period. The Executive's employment hereunder shall be deemed terminated by reason of Disability on the last day of the
applicable period, provided the Executive receives written notice from Parent or the Company, at least 30 days in advance of such
termination, stating its intention to terminate the Executive's employment by reason of Disability. 
	Mutual Agreement. The Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated at any time by mutual written agreement
between the Executive, Parent and the Company. 

	Rights Upon Termination 


In the event the Executive's employment by Parent or the Company is terminated during the Agreement Term, the Executive
shall have the rights provided below.




	Resignation for Good Reason. In the event the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment hereunder for Good

	Two (2) months if such resignation occurs within the first year of employment, Four (4) months if such resignation occurs within the
first day of the second year and the last day of the second year of employment or Six (6) months if such resignation occurs after the last
day of the second year (or, in the case of a Change of Control,twelve months) salary at the Executive's rate of pay at the time of
termination, including all benefits payable monthly for the applicable number of months; and 
	in respect of his Annual Bonus, the then current amount due, if any, shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the calendar year up to the effective date of termination and the denominator of which is 365. 








                                              -3-

	Termination without Cause. In the event the Executive is terminated by Parent or the Company other than for Cause,

	Two (2) months if such termination occurs within the first year of employment, Four (4) months if such termination occurs within the

Section 7 hereof, the Executive shall immediately forfeit all rights to payments made or to be made pursuant to this paragraph (b).

	Resignation without Good Reason: Termination for Cause; Death or Disability. In the event the Executive's employment
hereunder is terminated voluntarily other than for Good Reason, by Parent or the Company for Cause, or on account of death, the
Executive shall not be entitled to receive, and the Company shall have no obligation to provide, any severance payments or benefits
under this Agreement. 
	Other Obligations. The benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement are not in lieu of any benefits
payable under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent or the Company except as specifically provided herein,
and upon termination of employment, the Executive will receive such benefits or payments, if any, as he may be entitled to receive
pursuant to the terms of such plans, programs and arrangements. Except for the obligations of Parent or the Company provided by this
Section 6, Parent and the Company shall have no other obligations to the Executive upon his termination of employment. 
	Release of Claims. As a condition of the Executive's entitlement to any of the termination rights provided in this Section 6,

terminations of employment, subject to such modifications as are necessary to reflect the obligations of the parties under this
Agreement. 

	Restrictive Covenants 


	Nondisclosure of Information. The Executive agrees to receive confidential and proprietary information of Parent and
the Company in confidence and not to disclose such information to others except as authorized by Parent and the Company.
Confidential and proprietary information shall mean information not generally known to the public that is disclosed to the Executive as a
consequence of employment by Parent and the Company, whether or not pursuant to this Agreement. If the Board determines that it is
necessary, the Executive will execute a separate non-disclosure agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the
Company and the Executive. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement by either party.






                                              -4-






	Covenant Not to Compete. The Executive agrees to not, during the Employment Period and for a period of 12 months
thereafter, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of parties not parties to
this Agreement, or as a partner, stockholder, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, or in any other capacity or relationship engage
in any business or employment, or aid or endeavor to assist in any legal entity, which is in competition with the products and/or services
of Parent and the Company within the United States of America or any foreign country where Parent and the Company conduct
business. Parent and the Company and the Executive acknowledge the reasonableness of this covenant not to compete and the
reasonableness of the geographic area and duration of time which is part of this covenant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement by either party. 
	Noninterference. The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period of 12 months thereafter, he
shall not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, solicit or in any manner influence or encourage any current or prospective
customer, employee or other Person who has a business relationship with Parent and the Company or any affiliate, to terminate or limit
in any way their relationship with Parent and the Company, or interfere in any way with such relationship. For purposes hereof, (i) the
term "Person" is to be construed in the broadest sense and means and includes any natural person, company, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, corporation, business trust, unincorporated organization or any governmental authority, and (ii) a Person shall
be considered a "prospective" customer or employee if Parent and the Company or any affiliate has entered into discussions or
otherwise made contact with the Person for the purpose of any such engagement within the six-month period prior to any solicitation by
the Executive, and such fact is known or made known to the Executive prior to such solicitation. 
	Moral Duty. Employee understands that the value of Employee's services hereunder would be materially reduced or
impaired to the extent that Employee were to be indicted or arrested (or otherwise accused by a governmental body having proper
jurisdiction) for committing a crime of moral turpitude or for behavior relating to the use or abuse of alcohol or controlled substances. In
the event of such arrest or indictment or accusation, Company shall have the right prospectively and immediately to terminate this
agreement, except that section 7 hereof shall survive such termination. The waiver of any one such incident by Company shall not
constitute a waiver of the provisions of this paragraph.  Employee also understands that the Company is engaged in providing secure
on-line services for the storage of customers' personal medical records and other sensitive customer materials.  Employee understands
that the value of employee's services hereunder would be materially reduced or impaired to the extent that employee accesses
improper or immoral or obscene content using internet equipment provided to employee by employer or accessing such content while
on employer's premises.  In the event of such conduct, the Company shall have the right prospective and immediately to terminate this
agreement, except that section 7 hereof shall survive such termination. The waiver of any one such incident by Company shall not
constitute a waiver of the provisions of this paragraph.
	Enforcement. 

	Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary for the successful
operation of Parent and the Company. Executive further acknowledges that if he breaches any provision of this Section 7, Parent and
the Company will suffer irreparable injury. It is therefore agreed that Parent and the Company shall have the right to enjoin any such
breach or threatened breach, without posting any bond, if ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The existence of this right to
injunctive and other equitable relief shall not limit any other rights or remedies that Parent and the Company may have at law or in
equity including, without limitation, the right to monetary, compensatory and punitive damages. In the event of a breach by the
Executive of his obligations under this Section 7, in addition to all other available remedies, the Executive shall forfeit any rights to
severance compensation as provided in Section 6(a) hereof. If any provision of this Section 7 is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be not enforceable in the manner set forth herein, the Executive and Parent and the Company agree that it is the intention
of the parties that such provision should be enforceable to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. If any provisions of this
Section 7 are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidation 










                                              -5-









or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Section 7 (or any portion thereof).



	The Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that his rights to benefits under any Long-Term Incentive Plan are in
consideration of his covenants under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 7. Therefore, the Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that in the event of a breach by the Executive of his obligations under such covenants, the Executive shall immediately forfeit all
rights under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and shall promptly repay Parent and the Company all amounts previously received
thereunder. 

	Miscellaneous 


	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Parent and the
Company, successors and permitted assignees. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Parent or the Company without the prior
written consent of the Executive. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees
and legatees. 
	Tax Withholding. All compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to reduction by all applicable
withholding, social security and other federal, state and local taxes and deductions. 
	Board Actions. For purposes of this Agreement, any action or determination required or taken by the Board of Parent shall
be made by the vote of a majority of its members other than the Executive. 
	Entire Agreement; Cancellation of Original Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements in all respects,
provided, however that nothing herein shall be construed so as to deprive Executive or the Company of any accrued rights which either
may have under the Original Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the Executive and Parent and the Company
in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements,
communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained
herein. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement shall not be binding unless in writing and signed by Parent and the Company
and the Executive. 
	Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and effect, and any such determination of
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 
	Notices. All notices which may be necessary or proper for either Parent and the Company or the Executive to give to the
other shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by air courier,
and shall be deemed given when sent, to the respective persons at the addresses set forth in Annex A (or such other address as any
party may provide to the other parties after the date hereof). 
	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 
	Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if
