2.2.4       Executive will not directly or indirectly impair or seek to impair the reputation of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, nor any
relationship that the Company or any affiliate of the Company has with its employees, customers, suppliers, agents or other parties with which the Company or any other affiliate of the Company does business or has contractual relation;
and,


2.2.5       Executive will not receive or accept for his own benefit, either directly or indirectly, any commission, rebate, discount, gratuity or profit from

subsequent termination of Executive's employment. 


3.                 COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE.


3.1       The Company shall pay Executive a base salary of One Hundred Ten Thousand Pounds Sterling
(110,000)(the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company policy. Such salary shall be pro rated for any partial year of employment on the basis of a 365-day fiscal year.
Executive will be eligible for bonuses from time to time as determined by the Board. 



3.2       Executive's Base Salary and other compensation may be changed from time to time by mutual agreement of Executive and
the Board.


3.3      
All of Executive's compensation shall be subject to customary withholding taxes and any other employment taxes applicable to Executive’s jurisdiction of employment as are commonly required to be collected or
withheld by the Company.


3.4      
During the Employment Period, the Company agrees to reimburse Executive for all reasonable and
necessary business expenses subject to the Company's standard requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses.


 	3.5       Executive shall, in accordance with the Company policy and the terms of the applicable plan documents, be eligible to participate in benefits under any Executive benefit plan

 	 3.6       Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its insurers as reasonably required for the Company to acquire and keep in force key-man life insurance on Executive. 


 	3.7       Executive shall be granted stock options for 250,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the "Options") pursuant to an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") issued

events. The exercise price of the Options will be $2.21 for 100,000 shares; $3.75 for 100,000 shares and $5.00 for 50,000 shares. The options as granted shall provide for an "early exercise" right (i.e., the right of Executive to exercise options
prior to their vesting date and to receive restricted stock subject to the same vesting requirements as the options exercised). In addition, the options as granted shall permit Executive (or, where applicable, his personal representative) up to
eighteen (18) months following termination of employment for any reason to exercise any options which were vested at the time of such termination (including options vesting as the result of such termination, where applicable).


 	3.9.       The Company and Executive shall enter into an Indemnity Agreement to provide indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Executive to the fullest extent (whether
partial or complete) permitted by law, and, to the extent the Company maintains insurance, for the coverage of Executive under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

 	4.3       Termination by Mutual Agreement of the Parties. Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated at any time upon a mutual agreement in writing of the

4.4       Compensation Upon Termination.


4.4.1       Death or Complete Disability. If Executive's employment shall be terminated by death or Complete
Disability as provided in Section 4.4.1, the Company shall (i) pay Executive his accrued Base Salary and accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination at

Page 3




 	 	4.4.2       Cause or Without Good Reason. If Executive's employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Executive terminates employment hereunder without Good Reason,
the Company shall pay Executive his accrued Base Salary and accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time of the notice of termination, and the Company shall thereafter have no further
obligations to Executive under this Agreement. 


 	 	4.4.3       Without Cause or Good Reason. If Executive shall terminate Executive's employment with the Company for Good Reason or the Company shall terminate Executive's employment
without Cause, Executive shall be entitled to the following: 

(i)       Executive's Base Salary, and accrued and unused vacation earned through the date of
termination;

(ii)       Continuation of Executive's annual Base Salary, in effect at the time of termination, for a
period of thirty-six (36) months after the termination date subject to standard deductions and withholding;


 	 	 	(iii)       Continuation of Executive's medical, disability and other benefits for a period of six (6) months after the termination date, as if Executive had continued in employment
during said period, or in lieu thereof, cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued
(or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the benefit is being provided) under applicable law or regulation;


 	 	 	(iv)       100% vesting of all of Executive's Options, all other options granted to Executive and all restricted stock received upon early exercise; and, 


 	 	 	(v)       in the event such termination occurs within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, the Company shall pay Executive (a) a one-time payment equal to the product of
2.99 and Executive’s salary for the previous twelve (12) months and (b) a one-time payment equal to the higher of (i) Executive’s bonus for the previous year and (ii) one percent of the Company’s consolidated gross revenues for the
previous twelve (12) months (the “Change of Control Termination Payment”). 

4.5       Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


4.5.1       Complete Disability. "Complete Disability" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform
Executive's duties under this Agreement because Executive has become permanently disabled within the meaning of any policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the
Company then in force. In the event the Company has no policy of disability income insurance covering employees of the Company in force when Executive becomes disabled, the term "Complete Disability" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform
Executive's duties under this Agreement by reason of any incapacity, physical or mental, which the Board, based upon medical advice or an opinion provided by a licensed physician acceptable to the Board, determines to have incapacitated Executive
from satisfactorily performing all of Executive's usual services for the Company for a period of at least 120 days. Based upon such medical advice or opinion, the determination of the Board shall be final and binding and the date such determination
is made shall be the date of such Complete Disability for purposes of this Agreement.

 4.5.2       Good Reason. "Good Reason" shall be limited to the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)       If the Company is in material breach of any provision of this Agreement; or

(ii)       If the Company asks Executive to perform any act which is illegal, including commission
of any crime involving moral turpitude; or,


 	 	 	(iii)       If there shall be a material diminution in Executive's position, status, offices, authority, duties or responsibilities as set forth in the Agreement; or 


 	 	 	(iv)       If there shall be a relocation or transfer of Executive's office to a location of more than 30 miles from
Calabasis, California. 


Page 4






4.5.3       For Cause. "For Cause" shall be limited to the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Executive's engaging or in any manner participating in any activity which is
directly competitive with or intentionally injurious to the Company or which violates any material provision of Section 6 hereof; or the use of alcohol or illegal drugs, materially interfering
with the performance of Executive's obligations under this Agreement, continuing after written warning; 



 	 	 	(ii)           Executive's commission of any fraud against the Company or use or intentional appropriation for his personal use or benefit of any material funds or properties of the
Company not authorized by the Board to be so used or appropriated; 

(iii)       Executive's conviction of any crime involving moral turpitude; or

(iv)        Executive's failure or refusal to materially perform his duties and responsibilities set forth
in this Agreement, if such failure or refusal is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Executive by the Company. 


5.                
CHANGE IN CONTROL.


5.1       A "Change of Control" shall, for purposes of this Section mean: (1) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (2) any sale or transfer of more than 25% of the total assets of the Company; (3) any merger, consolidation or other business reorganization in which the holders of the
Company's outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction do not hold, immediately following such transaction, securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the
surviving entity; (4) the acquisition by any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 or any
successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of the Company; or (5) a majority of the incumbent Board of
Directors has been changed.


 	5.2      
If a Change In Control occurs, Executive shall be entitled to full acceleration of the vesting of the then-unvested portion of the Options granted to Executive under Section
3.9 hereof and of any other options granted to Executive (or any restricted shares received upon early exercise). If Executive is terminated due to a Change In Control, Executive’s medical, disability and other benefits shall continue for a
period of six(6) months, as if Executive had continued in employment during said period, or in lieu thereof, cash (including a tax equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax
bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the benefit is being provided) under applicable law or regulation. 


 	5.3       Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of
Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Change of Control Termination Payment, or otherwise (the "Payment"), would constitute an "excess parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Executive shall be paid an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by Executive after deduction of any
excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and any federal, state and local income and employment tax and excise tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, and any interest and penalties imposed upon Executive, shall be equal to the Payment. For
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment 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 Payment, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from
the deduction of such state and local taxes. 


 	5.4       All determinations to be made under Section 5.3 shall be made by the Company's independent public accountant (the "Accounting Firm"), which firm shall provide its
determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 10 days of the date of Payment. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. Within five days after the
Accounting Firm's determination, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) or distribute (or cause to be distributed) to or for the benefit of Executive such amounts as are then due to Executive.


Page 5







 	5.5       In the event that upon any audit by the Internal Revenue Service, or by a state or local taxing authority, of the Payment or Gross-Up Payment, a change is finally determined to
be required in the amount of taxes paid by Executive, appropriate adjustments shall be made under this Agreement such that the net amount which is payable to Executive after taking into account the provisions of Section 4999 of the Code shall
reflect the intent of the parties as expressed in Section 5.3 above, in the manner determined by the Accounting Firm.


 	5.6       All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the determinations referred to above shall be borne solely by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Accounting Firm of and from any and all claims, damages and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations above, except for claims, damages or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Accounting Firm.

6.                 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION


6.1       Executive recognizes that his employment with the Company will involve contact with information of substantial value to the Company, which is not old and generally known in the trade, and which gives the Company an advantage over its competitors who do not know or use it, including
but not limited to, techniques, designs, drawings, processes, inventions, developments, equipment, prototypes, sales and customer information, and business and financial information relating to the business, products, practices and techniques of the
Company, (hereinafter referred to as "Confidential and Proprietary Information"). Executive will at all times regard and preserve as confidential such Confidential and Proprietary Information obtained by Executive from whatever source and will not,
either during his employment with the Company or thereafter, publish or disclose any part of such Confidential and Proprietary Information in any manner at any time, or use the same except on behalf of the Company, without the prior written consent
of the Company.

7.                 ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT.


7.1       This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and Executive's heirs, executors, personal representatives, assigns, administrators and legal representatives. Due to the unique and personal nature of Executive's duties under this Agreement, neither this Agreement
nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors, assigns and legal representatives. The Company shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.

8.                
NOTICES.


8.1       All notices or demands of any kind required or permitted to be given by the Company or Executive under

14.              

SEVERABILITY.


14.1       The finding by a court of competent jurisdiction of the unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any

invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision which most accurately represents the parties' intention with respect to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

INTERPRETATION; CONSTRUCTION.


15.1       The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in

counsel and tax advisors with respect to the terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel has reviewed and revised, or had an opportunity to review and revise, this Agreement, and the normal rule of construction
to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

17.               LITIGATION COSTS.


Page 7







 	17.1      
Should any litigation, arbitration, or administrative action be commenced between the parties or their personal representatives concerning any provision of this agreement or
the rights and duties of any person in relation to this agreement, the party or parties prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted to a reasonable sum as and for that party's attorney's fees in
such litigation which shall be determined by the court, arbitrator, or administrative agency, in such action or in a separate action brought for that purpose. 

18.              COUNTERPARTS.


18.1       This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

19.              ARBITRATION.


19.1       To ensure rapid and economical resolution of any disputes which may arise under this Agreement, Executive and the Company agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature whatsoever, arising from or regarding the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this
Agreement shall be resolved by confidential, final and binding arbitration (rather than trial by jury or court or resolution in some other forum) to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement shall be
conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Los Angeles under the then existing AAA arbitration rules. If for any reason all or part of this arbitration provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under
any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not effect any other portion of this arbitration provision or any other jurisdiction, but this provision will be reformed, construed and enforced in
such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable part or parts of this provision had never been contained herein, consistent with the general intent of the parties insofar as possible. 



20.                	PAYMENTS. Any amount hereunder not paid when due shall be subject until paid to an interest charge equal to the lesser of (i) one-and-one-half percent of the amount due per month
and (ii) the highest rate allowable by applicable law. The late-paying party shall pay all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) to collect any amount due. 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
