Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of May 12, 2011 (the
“Date of this Agreement”), is made by and between Local.com Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the “Employer” or “Company”), and Michael Sawtell (the “Executive” and together with the Company,
the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, Employer and Executive previously entered into the Employment Agreement dated May
5, 2011 (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Employer and Executive now wish to amend and restate such agreement, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the Parties as follows:

1. Term.

     The Employer hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment,
for an initial term commencing as of the Date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary
of such date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5;
with such employment to continue thereafter for successive one-year periods in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement beginning on each anniversary of the Date of this Agreement (subject to
termination as aforesaid) unless either party notifies the other party in writing not less than
thirty (30) days before expiration of the initial term and each annual renewal thereof (the period
during which the Executive is employed hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the “Term”) of an
intent not to renew this Agreement.

2. Duties.

     During the Term, the Executive shall be employed by the Employer as its Chief Operating
Officer, and as such, the Executive shall faithfully perform for the Employer the duties and have
the powers customary for such position, including general oversight, including financial oversight,
of the Employer’s operations and preservation of the Employer’s assets. During the Term, the
Executive shall be required to report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Employer (the “CEO”).
The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and effort to the performance of
his duties hereunder, and shall work primarily at the Employer’s main business offices. Executive
shall not be prohibited from engaging in such personal, charitable, or other nonemployment
activities as do not interfere with full time employment hereunder and which do not violate the
other provisions of this Agreement, including specifically, providing oversight in connection with
any transition of services required by his former employer, DigitalPost Interactive, Inc., provided
such services are secondary to the performance of his duties hereunder and do not constitute more
than ten (10) hours per month outside of the Company’s normal business hours, and provided further
that in no case will such services last more than 60 days from the date of this agreement.

 

 

3. Compensation.

     3.1 Salary. In consideration of the services to be rendered under this Agreement, the
Employer shall pay the Executive during the Term a salary at the rate of Two Hundred Eighty Seven
Thousand Dollars ($287,000) per annum, in accordance with customary payroll practices of the
Employer applicable to senior executives, provided the payments are no less frequent than monthly
(or, if there is no such policy, payments shall be semi-monthly). The Annual Salary shall be
annually reviewed by the Employer for possible increases. The Annual Salary shall be subject to
possible further increase from time to time at the discretion of the CEO, the Board of Directors of
the Employer (“Board”), or a committee of the Board designated for such purpose. Any increased
Annual Salary shall thereupon be the “Annual Salary” for the purposes hereof. The Executive’s
Annual Salary shall not be decreased without his prior written consent at any time during the Term.
In the event the Company shall employ any person other than Executive and the CEO at an Annual
Salary equal to or greater than the Executive’s then-current Annual Salary, exclusive of
commissions paid to employees engaged primarily in sales, the Board or a committee of the Board
designated for such purpose will undertake a comprehensive review of Executive’s compensation and
where appropriate, recommend revisions to Executive’s compensation as appropriate.

     3.2 Incentive Compensation.

          (a) The Executive shall be eligible to receive, in addition to his Annual Salary, a bonus (the
“Retention Bonus”) for so long as Executive is employed by Company and has achieved the criteria
set forth below, payable in accordance with the following schedule:

               (i) $25,000 payable within five (5) days of the Date of this Agreement (if such amount has not
already been paid to Executive in accordance with the terms of the Original Agreement);

               (ii) $25,000 payable three (3) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (iii) $25,000 payable six (6) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (iv) $75,000 payable twelve (12) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (v) $37,500 payable fifteen (15) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (vi) $37,500 payable eighteen (18) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (vii) $37,500 payable twenty-one (21) months from the Date of this Agreement;

               (viii) $112,500 payable twenty-four (24) months from the Date of this Agreement;

The Retention Bonus shall be earned provided Executive shall have achieved in each of the two (2)
quarters immediately preceding the date of payment of a Retention Bonus an average score of 3 out
of a total possible of 4 with respect to the measurement of performance standards or goals mutually
agreed upon by Executive and the CEO, provided that at least fifty percent (50%) of such
performance standards or goals will be based upon the achievement of the quarterly

2

 

Revenue and quarterly Net Income targets (the “Targets”) set forth in the Operating Plan, attached
hereto as Exhibit A. With respect to the achievement of the Targets, a score of “4” will be
awarded for hitting 100% of the Targets, with the opportunity to achieve over a “4” for achieving
over the Targets and an opportunity to earn less than a “4” but more than a “0” or “-1” for partial
achievement of the Targets, as determined by the CEO in good faith. The score for Executive with
respect to quarterly performance standards and goals will be set by CEO, in consultation with
Executive. Executive and Company agree that achievement of the Targets is dependent upon certain
funding and operational commitments by Company, as set forth in the Operating Plan, and that if
Company should determine to alter or abandon those commitments in its sole and absolute discretion,
the parties will work together in good faith to develop alternative targets upon which achievement
of the Retention Bonus may be measured and earned.

          (b) During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, in addition to his Annual
Salary, an annual bonus (the “Bonus”) of up to sixty percent (60%) of the Annual Salary. Any
increase in the bonus target shall thereupon be the “Bonus” for the purposes hereof. The amount of
such Bonus and any performance standards or goals required to be attained in order to receive such
Bonus shall be mutually agreed upon by Executive and the CEO or such committee of the Board as they
shall designate for such purpose from time to time and memorialized in a writing executed by
Executive and Employer, as may be amended from time to time by the mutual written agreement of
Employer and Executive. The Bonus shall be declared and paid according to the Company’s payroll
policies and practices as of the date first set forth above. Any actual Bonus paid shall be
determined by achievement of mutually agreed goals and company performance.

     3.3 Stock Options. The Executive received stock option grants under the Employer’s
Equity Incentive Plans for shares of common stock of the Employer pursuant to the terms of the
Original Agreement. In addition, the Executive shall be granted options to purchase One Hundred
Twenty Thousand (120,000) shares of the common stock of the Employer pursuant to the Employer’s
Equity Incentive Plans as of the Date of this Agreement and at the closing price of the Company’s
stock on the Dates of this Agreement as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (all of the foregoing
options, including those previously granted, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Options”).
Upon either (i) a Change of Control, defined below, of the Employer, or (ii) a termination of the
executive by Employer without Cause (defined in Section 5.1(a) below), or a termination by
Executive for Good Reason (defined in Section 5.2(a) below), if such event of termination without
cause or for good reason occurs within 120 days prior and/or subsequent to the execution and
delivery of an acquisition, merger, consolidation or other agreement which results in a Change of
Control, any Options that Employee receives from Employer shall become fully vested immediately and
shall remain exercisable during the term of each such option as if the Executive were still
employed by Employer. For purposes of this Agreement “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence
of any one of the following events:

          (a) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing thirty-five percent (35%) or more, excluding in the calculation of
Beneficial Ownership securities acquired directly from the Company, of the combined voting power of
the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

3

 

          (b) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing over fifty percent (50.00%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

          (c) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of
directors of the Company then serving: individuals who, as of the Date of this Agreement,
constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and any new director (other than a
director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election
contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors
of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of the at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the directors then still in office who either were directors on the Date of this Agreement or whose
appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended;

          (d) there is a consummated merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
securities of the surviving or parent entity) more than fifty percent (50.00%) of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving or parent equity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to
implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person, directly
or indirectly, acquired twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such
person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates); or

          (e) the stock holders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or
there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (or any transaction having a similar effect), other than
a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an
entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which
are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

     The terms of this Section 3.3 shall be included in the applicable stock option agreements
between Employer and Executive relating to the issuance of the Options. For purposes of this
Section 3.3, the following terms used above shall have the following meanings:

     “Affiliate” shall mean an affiliate of the Company, as defined in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time (the “Exchange Act”);

     “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act; and

4

 

     “Person” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as
modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term shall not
include (1) the Company, (2) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company, (3) an underwriter temporarily holding securities
pursuant to an offering of such securities or (4) a corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     3.4 Benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Executive shall be entitled to
participate in any group life, medical or disability insurance plans, health programs, retirement
plans, fringe benefit programs and similar benefits that may be available to other senior
executives of the Employer generally, on the same terms as such other executives, to the extent
that the Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs as they may be in effect
from time to time. Employer will provide coverage for the Executive under the Employer’s health
benefits plan and will pay 100% of the cost of spouse or dependent coverage up to a total of $1,500
per month. Coverage under the health benefits plan is currently in effect.

     3.5 Expenses. The Employer shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred (and, in the case of reimbursement, paid) by
the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement,
provided that (i) such expenditure is of a nature qualifying it as a proper business expense
deduction on the Employer’s federal and state income tax returns and (ii) the Executive submits
proof of such expenses, with the properly completed forms as prescribed from time to time by the
Employer, no later than 30 days after the end of the monthly period in which such expenses have
been so incurred.

     3.6 Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; Short-Term Deferral
Exemption. This Agreement is not intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject
to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, accordingly, any compensation
provided pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be paid not later than the later of: (i) the
fifteenth day of the third month following Executive’s first taxable year in which such benefit is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and (ii) the fifteenth day of the third
month following the first taxable year of the Employer in which such benefit is no longer subject
to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and
any Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder. The date determined under this
subsection is referred to as the “Short-Term Deferral Date.” Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, in the event that any benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement are not
actually or constructively received by the Executive on or before the Short-Term Deferral Date, to
the extent such benefit constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A, then
such benefit shall be paid upon the Executive’s separation from service, with respect to the
Employer and its affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Executive and the Company shall in good faith
amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements under Section 409A of
the Code and any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder, in order to ensure that any
amounts paid or payable hereunder are not subject to the additional 20% income tax thereunder while
maintaining to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of this Agreement.

4. Termination upon Death or Disability.

     If the Executive dies during the Term, the Term shall terminate as of the date of death, and
the obligations of the Employer to or with respect to the Executive shall terminate in their
entirety upon such date except as otherwise provided under this Section 4. If the Executive
becomes disabled for purposes of the long-term disability plan of the Employer for which the
Executive is eligible, or, in the event that there is no such plan, if the Executive by virtue of
ill health or other disability is unable to perform substantially and continuously the duties
assigned to him for more than 180 consecutive or non-consecutive days out of any consecutive
12-month period, then the Employer shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to
terminate the employment of the Executive upon notice in writing to the Executive. Upon
termination of employment due to death or disability, (i) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate
or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall be entitled to receive any Annual
Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination
(and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination),
including, but not limited to a pro-rata Bonus for the year of termination (which in no event shall
be less than a similar pro-rata portion of the Executive’s bonus for the preceding year) to be paid
at such time as Bonuses are ordinarily paid; (ii) in the case of termination due to disability, the
Executive shall be entitled to receive his Annual Salary paid over twelve (12) months following
such termination less any amounts for which Executive is eligible to receive from long term
disability insurance benefits under disability coverage furnished by the Employer to the Executive
during such twelve (12) month period; (iii) the Executive (or, in the case of his death, his spouse
and/or dependents) shall continue to receive all applicable benefits elected by Executive for which
he received reimbursement for pursuant to Section 3.4 herein for a period of twelve (12) months
following such termination and Company shall continue to pay for the foregoing in accordance with
Section 3.4 herein as if no such termination had occurred; and (iv) the Executive (or, in the case
of his death, his estate and beneficiaries) shall have no further rights to any other compensation
or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder,
except as otherwise provided in the plans and policies of the Employer.

5. Certain Terminations of Employment.

     5.1 Termination for Cause; Termination of Employment by the Executive without Good
Reason.

          (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s:

               (i) conviction of (or pleading nolo contendere to) a felony involving the crime of theft or a
related or similar act of unlawful taking, or a felony involving the federal or California
securities or pension laws, or any felony, which results in material economic harm to the Employer;

               (ii) engagement in the performance of his duties hereunder or otherwise to the material and
demonstrable detriment of the Employer, in willful misconduct, willful or gross neglect, fraud,
misappropriation or embezzlement;

6

 

               (iii) After notice from the Board, and, if requested by Executive, the opportunity to be heard
by the Board, the failure to adhere to the lawful and reasonable directions of the Board that are
consistent with the terms of this Agreement (so long as the directive does not give the Executive
Good Reason (as defined below) to terminate his employment as described in Section 5.2), or the
failure to devote substantially all of the business time and effort to the Employer (except for any
activities expressly authorized by the Employer);

               (iv) material breach of any of the provisions of Section 6, other than inadvertent breaches;
or

               (v) breach in any material respect of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and failure
to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice from the Employer specifying
such breach; provided however, if Executive delivers written notice to Employer during the 30 day
cure period requesting to be heard at a meeting of the Board, his termination under this Section
5.2(a)(v) shall not be effective until such Board meeting at which Executive had an opportunity to
be heard.

provided that Cause shall not exist except on written notice given to the Executive at any time not
more than 60 days following the later of either the occurrence of any of the events described above
or Employer’s actual knowledge thereof, which events in any case must have occurred after the
effective date of this Agreement.

          (b) The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, and the
Executive may terminate his employment for any or no reason on at least 30 days’ and not more than
60 days’ written notice given to the Employer. If the Employer terminates the Executive for Cause,
or the Executive terminates his employment and the termination by the Executive is not covered by
Section 4 or 5.2, (i) the Executive shall receive Annual Salary and other benefits earned and
accrued under this Agreement prior to the termination of employment (and reimbursement under this
Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the termination of employment); and (ii) the Executive
shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the
termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder, except as otherwise provided in the plans
and policies of the Employer.

     5.2 Termination by the Employer without Cause; or by the Executive for Good Reason.

          (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, unless otherwise consented to in
writing by the Executive;

               (i) a reduction in Annual Salary or in benefits of the Executive, or the failure of the
Employer timely to make any Annual Salary payment due to the Executive, provided that such deferral
or failure to pay continues unremedied for more than thirty (30) days;

               (ii) any action by the Employer that results in a material diminution in the Executive’s
title, authority, duties, reporting relationship or responsibilities, whether occurring before or
after a Change of Control, including a reduction in Executive’s title, authority, duties, reporting
relationship or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a
larger entity, whether as a subsidiary, business unit or otherwise and

7

 

Executive not assuming a similar role at the resulting parent entity (as, for example, when
the Chief Operating Officer of the Company remains the Chief Operating Officer of the Company
following a Change of Control where the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiror,
but is not made the Chief Operating Officer of the resulting successor or parent entity);

               (iii) a material breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Employer;

               (iv) a failure of the Employer to have any successor entity specifically assume this
Agreement;

               (v) a relocation of the Executive to offices other than those set forth herein, or a
relocation of the offices set forth herein to a location more than 25 miles from its current
location, without Executive’s prior written consent;

               (vi) a change in Executive’s reporting so that he no longer reports directly to the CEO; or

               (vii) the assignment to Executive of any duties or responsibilities which are inconsistent
with his status, position or responsibilities as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist unless notice of
termination on account thereof (specifying a termination date no later than 30 days from the date
of such notice) is given no later than the later of either (1) 60 days after the time at which the
event or condition giving rise to Good Reason first occurs or arises or (2) Executive’s actual
knowledge thereof; and (ii) if there exists (without regard to this clause (ii)) an event or
condition that constitutes Good Reason, the Employer shall have 30 days from the date notice of
such a termination is given to cure such event or condition and, if the Employer does so fully cure
such event or condition, such event or condition shall not constitute Good Reason hereunder, unless
the same or similar events or conditions occur again, in which case no further opportunity to cure
will be afforded Employer and Good Reason will exist as if all applicable notice requirements had
been met in their entirety.

          (b) The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no
reason and the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Employer for Good
Reason. A notice of non-renewal, as provided for pursuant to Section 1 above, shall constitute a
termination of employment by the Employer without Cause.

          (c) If the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment and the termination is not covered
by Section 4 or 5.1, or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the Executive
shall receive:

               (i) Annual Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the
termination of employment (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to
the termination of employment);

               (ii) one (1) times the Annual Salary payable in accordance with standard payroll practices of
the Company (unless the termination occurs as a result of or in

8

 

connection with a Change of Control, in which case the amount will be one and one-quarter
(1.25) times the Annual Salary payable in a lump sum within five (5) days of such termination);

               (iii) an amount equal to all Bonuses earned during the four quarters immediately prior to the
termination date (unless the termination occurs as a result of or in connection with a Change of
Control, in which case the amount will be equal to one and one-quarter (1.25) times the greater of
the amount of all Bonuses earned during the four quarters immediately prior to the termination date
or all Bonuses earned during the four quarters immediately prior to the Change of Control), payable
(A) in accordance with standard bonus payment practices of the Company, or (B) immediately, if and
to the extent the same will be used by Executive to exercise his stock options as provided in
clause (v) below and/or following a Change of Control;

               (iv) reimbursement for COBRA payments equal to employee’s regular monthly contributions toward
the Executive’s health insurance benefits for the one (1) year period (or one and one-quarter
(1.25) year period following a Change of Control) following the termination date if the Executive
elects COBRA benefits, and;

               (v) the right to exercise any or all vested Options for a period of twelve (12) months after
the effective date of termination of Executive’s employment; provided however, (A) in the event the
termination occurs within 120 days of the execution of a Change of Control agreement as provided in
Section 3.3 above, vesting and exercisability of all options shall be in accordance with Section
3.3 above, and (B) in the event the termination occurs at a time not within such 120 day period,
for purposes of this provision, all unvested options that would have vested had this Agreement
remained in force through the end of the initial Term, shall be fully vested immediately prior to
the termination under this Section 5.2(c). The provisions of this subparagraph (v) shall be
included in any stock option agreement between the Employer and the Executive.

     In order to be eligible to receive the benefits specified under sections 5.2(c)(ii) — (iv),
the Executive must execute a general release of claims in a form acceptable to the Employer, which
shall not apply to the Employer’s obligations described above in this Section 5.2(c).

6. Invention, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition.

     6.1 Inventions and Patents.

          (a) The Executive will promptly and fully disclose to the Employer any and all inventions,
discoveries, improvements, ideas, developments, designs, products, formulas, software programs,
processes, techniques, technology, know-how, negative know-how, data, research, technical data and
original works of authorship (whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright or
similar statutes and including all rights to obtain, register, perfect and enforce those
proprietary interests) that are related to or useful in the Employer’s present or future business
or result from use of property owned, leased, or contracted for by the Employer and which the
Executive develops, makes, conceives or reduces to practice during the Executive’s employment by
the Employer, either solely or jointly with others (collectively, the “Developments”). All such
Developments shall be the sole property of the Employer, and the

9

 

Executive hereby assigns to the Employer, without further compensation, all of the Executive’s
right, title and interest in and to such Developments and any and all related patents, patent
applications, copyrights, copyright applications, trademarks, service marks and trade names in the
United States and elsewhere.

          (b) The Executive shall disclose promptly to an officer or to attorneys of the Employer in
writing any inventions, discoveries, improvements, ideas, developments, designs, products,
formulas, software programs, processes, techniques, technology, know-how, negative know-how, data,
research, technical data and original works of authorship, whether or not patentable or registrable
under patent, copyright or similar statutes that are related to or useful in the Employer’s present
or future business, the Executive may conceive, make, develop or work on, in whole or in part,
solely or jointly with others during the Executive’s employment, for the purpose of permitting the
Employer to determine whether they constitute Developments. The Employer shall receive such
disclosures in confidence.

          (c) The Executive will keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all
Developments (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and as may be specified by the Employer),
which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Employer at all times.

          (d) The Executive will assist the Employer in obtaining and enforcing patent, copyright,
trademark, service marks and other forms of legal protection for the Developments in any country.
Upon request, the Executive will sign all applications, assignments, instruments and papers and
perform all acts necessary or desired by the Employer to assign all such Developments fully and
completely to the Employer and to enable the Employer, its successors, assigns and nominees, to
secure and enjoy the full and exclusive benefits and advantages thereof.

          (e) The Executive understands that the Executive’s obligations under this section will
continue after the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer and that during the
Executive’s employment the Executive will perform such obligations without further compensation,
except for reimbursement of expenses incurred at the request of the Employer. The Executive
further understands that if the Executive is not employed by the Employer as an employee at the
time the Executive is requested to perform any obligations under this section, the Executive shall
receive for such performance a reasonable per diem fee, as well as reimbursement of any expenses
incurred at the request of the Employer.

          (f) Any provision in this Agreement requiring the Executive to assign the Executive’s rights
in all Developments shall not apply to an invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of
California Labor Code section 2870, the terms of which are set forth below:

               (i) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall
assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer
shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time
without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information
except for those inventions that either:

10

 

                    (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the
employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
employer; or

                    (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

               (ii) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an
employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under
subdivision (i), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is
unenforceable.

     6.2 Proprietary Information.

          (a) The Executive recognizes that the Executive’s relationship with the Employer is one of
high trust and confidence by reason of the Executive’s access to and contact with the trade secrets
and confidential and proprietary information of the Employer including, without limitation,
information not previously disclosed to the public regarding current and projected revenues,
expenses, costs, profit margins and any other financial and budgeting information; marketing and
distribution plans and practices; business plans, opportunities, projects and any other business
and corporate strategies; product information; names, addresses, terms of contracts and other
arrangements with customers, suppliers, agents and employees of the Employer; confidential and
sensitive information regarding other employees, including information with respect to their job
descriptions, performance strengths and weaknesses, and compensation; and other information not
generally known regarding the business, affairs and plans of the Employer (collectively, the
“Proprietary Information”). The Executive acknowledges and agrees that Proprietary Information is
the exclusive property of the Employer and that the Executive shall not at any time, either during
the Executive’s employment with the Employer or thereafter disclose to others, or directly or
indirectly use for the Executive’s own benefit or the benefit of others, any of the Proprietary
Information.

          (b) The Executive acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary
Information would be detrimental to the Employer and would reasonably be anticipated to materially
impair the Employer’s value.

          (c) The Executive’s undertakings and obligations under this Section 6.2 will not apply,
however, to any Proprietary Information which: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public
through no action on the Executive’s part, (b) is generally disclosed to third parties by the
Employer without restriction on such third parties, (c) is approved for release by written
authorization of the Board, (d) is known to the Executive other than as a result of work performed
for the Employer, or (e) is required to be disclosed by law or governmental or court process or
order.

          (d) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer or at any other time upon
request, the Executive will promptly deliver to the Employer all notes, memoranda, notebooks,
drawings, records, reports, written computer code, files and other documents (and all copies or
reproductions of such materials) in the Executive’s possession or

11

 

under the Executive’s control, whether prepared by the Executive or others, which contain
Proprietary Information. The Executive acknowledges that this material is the sole property of the
Employer.

     6.3 Covenant Not to Compete.

          (a) During the time that this Agreement is in effect, the Executive shall not directly or
indirectly:

               (i) own, engage in, conduct, manage, operate, participate in, be employed by, be connected in
any manner whatsoever with, or render services or advice to (whether for compensation or without
compensation), any other person or business entity which, in the sole judgment of the Employer,
directly or indirectly competes with the Business of the Employer (as hereinafter defined); or

               (ii) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee of the Employer to terminate his or
her employment with, or otherwise cease his or her relationship with, the Employer in order to join
any person or entity which, in the sole judgment of the Employer, competes with the Business of the
Employer.

          (b) For a period of twelve (12) months after the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
the Executive shall not directly or indirectly recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee
of the Employer to terminate his or her employment with, or otherwise cease his or her relationship
with, the Employer in order to join any person or entity which, in the sole judgment of the
Employer, competes with the business of the employer as engaged in at the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.

          (c) The obligations set forth in paragraphs 6.3(a) and (b) above shall not restrict the
Executive’s right to invest in the securities (not to exceed 1% of the outstanding securities of
any class) of any publicly-held corporation in the management of which the Executive does not
participate.

          (d) For purposes of Section 6.3(a), “Business of the Employer” means the business of Employer
as engaged in from time to time during the term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
paid search.

          (e) The Executive hereby represents that, except as the Executive has disclosed in writing to
the Employer on Exhibit A attached hereto, the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement
with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or
confidential or proprietary information in the course of the Executive’s employment with the
Employer or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous
employer or any other party.

          (f) The Executive further represents that the Executive’s performance of all the terms of this
Agreement and as an employee of the Employer does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in
confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by the Executive in confidence or in
trust prior to his employment with the Employer, and the

12

 

Executive will not disclose to the Employer or induce the Employer to use any confidential or
proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

     6.4 Other Obligations. The Executive acknowledges that the Employer from time to time
may have agreements with other persons or with the U.S. Government or agencies thereof, which
impose obligations or restrictions on the Employer regarding inventions made during the course of
work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Executive agrees
to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions which are made known to the Executive and to
take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Employer under such agreements.

     6.5 Rights and Remedies upon Breach. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any
breach by him of any of the provisions of Section 6 (the “Restrictive Covenants”) would result in
irreparable injury and damage for which money damages may not provide an adequate remedy.
Therefore, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 6, the Employer shall have
the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the
other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Employer under law or in equity
(including, without limitation, the recovery of damages) the right and remedy to have the
Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the need to prove
damages) by any court having equity jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to an
entry against the Executive of restraining orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory,
temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then
continuing, of such covenants.

7. Other Provisions.

     7.1 Severability. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) he has had an
opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement and (ii) the Restrictive
Covenants are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If it is
determined that any of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without
regard to the invalid portions.

     7.2 Duration and Scope of Covenants. If any court or other decision-maker of
competent jurisdiction determines that any of the Executive’s covenants contained in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is
unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision, then, after such
determination has become final and unappealable, the duration or scope of such provision, as the
case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form,
such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

     7.3 Resolution of Differences Over Breaches of Agreement. The parties shall use good
faith efforts to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or
the breach thereof. If, despite their good faith efforts, the parties are unable to resolve such
controversy or claim through the Employer’s internal review procedures, then such controversy

13

 

or claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single, mutually acceptable
arbitrator under the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service in Orange County,
California and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. If any contest or dispute shall arise between the Employer and the
Executive regarding any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party, as determined by the
Arbitrator, shall be entitled to an award of all legal fees, costs, and expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with such contest or dispute.

     7.4 Notices. All notices or deliveries authorized or required pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been given when in writing and when (i) deposited in the U.S.
mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) otherwise delivered by hand or
by overnight delivery, against written receipt, by a common carrier or commercial courier or
delivery service addressed to the parties at the following addresses or to such other addresses as

supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

     7.6 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled,
renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the
parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any
party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege nor any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

     7.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

     7.8 Assignment. This Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder,
may not be assigned by the Executive; any purported assignment by the Executive in violation hereof
shall be null and void. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Employer’s assets or business, whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, the Employer may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder, subject at all times

14

 

to Executive’s rights with respect to a Change of Control as set forth elsewhere herein; provided
that such assignment shall not limit the Employer’s liability under this Agreement to the
Executive.

     7.9 Withholding. The Employer shall be entitled to withhold from any payments or
deemed payments any amount of tax withholding required by law.

     7.10 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors and legal
representatives.

     7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate

counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may consist
of two copies hereof each signed by one of the parties hereto.

     7.12 Survival. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
the provisions of Sections 4 through 8, and the other provisions of this Agreement to the extent
necessary to effectuate the survival of Sections 4 through 8, shall survive termination of this
Agreement and any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder.

     7.13 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not
affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

     7.14 Indemnification; Directors and Officers Insurance. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Employer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Executive from and
against all actual or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil or criminal,
administrative or investigative, together with all attorneys’ fees and costs, fines, judgments or
settlements imposed upon or incurred by the Executive in connection therewith, that arise from the
Executive’s employment by, or serving as an officer of, the Employer, so long as the Executive
acted or refrained from acting legally and in good faith or reasonably believed that his actions or
refraining from acting were legal and performed or omitted in good faith. Employer currently has
directors and officers liability insurance and will use all reasonable efforts to maintain such
insurance coverage during the term of this Agreement, but if it is unable to do so, it will
immediately notify Executive of this fact. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained
herein shall continue during the period Executive is a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall
continue thereafter so long as Executive shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by
reason of the fact that Executive was an officer or director of the Company or serving in any other
capacity referred to herein.

Exhibit 10.2

SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

          This Separation and General Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) is being entered into by and
between Local.com Corporation (“Employer” or the “Company”) and Stanley Crair (“Employee”)
(collectively the “Parties”) as of the date of Employee’s execution of this Agreement (the “Date
of this Agreement”).

          WHEREAS, the Parties previously entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated April 26, 2010;

          WHEREAS, Employer is now providing notice to Employee that Employer is terminating the
employment of Employee without Cause pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Employment Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, Employee is entitled to receive a portion of his salary and other benefits pursuant
to Section 5.2(c) of the Employment Agreement, provided Employee signs this Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the terms and conditions set
forth below, the Parties agree as follows:

          1. Acknowledgment. Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of this Agreement on May 11,
2011 (the “Acknowledgment Date”). Employee hereby acknowledges that Employer is terminating the
employment of Employee without Cause pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Employment Agreement
effective as of the Acknowledgement Date. Employee understands that should he agree to this
release, he would give up any right or claim to compensation or benefits of employment with the
Company beyond the Acknowledgment Date, except as set forth in this Agreement. On the
Acknowledgment Date, Employee will be paid all unpaid, earned wages, including without limitation,
any accrued, unused vacation pay.

          2. Compensation to Employee for General Release. Provided that Employee delivers a
signed copy of this Agreement to the Company within twenty-one (21) days after his receipt of this
Agreement, and does not revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days after he signs it, the Company
will pay to Employee, pursuant to Section 5.2(c) of the Employment Agreement, an amount equal to
$287,000, which represents the Employee’s current Annual Salary, which amount shall be payable over
one (1) year in accordance with the Employer’s standard payroll practices or, at the option of the
Company, in a lump sum (the “Salary Payment”) and if Employee elects to continue his health care
insurance coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay Employee’s health insurance premium for
Employee and any covered dependants for the first twelve (12) months following the Acknowledgment
Date (the “Benefit Continuation”), as such premiums are incurred by Employee. Employee shall also
receive $174,962, which represents Employee’s bonus earned over the previous four quarters of the
Term immediately prior to this Agreement, which amount shall be payable in accordance with the
Company’s standard bonus payment practices (as established by the NCCG Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company from time to time) or, at the option of the Company, in a lump sum (the
“Bonus Payment” and together with the Salary Payment, the “Payment”). Employee shall also have the
right to immediately exercise any or all stock options which are vested as of the Acknowledgement
Date for a period of up to twelve (12) months after the Acknowledgement Date subject to his
delivery of a signed copy of this Agreement. Employee

 

 

understands that the Payment and Benefit Continuation represent the Company’s sole financial
obligation to Employee under this Agreement and the Employment Agreement.

          3. Cooperation. Employee will make himself available at reasonable times upon
reasonable request of the Company to the extent reasonably needed by the Company to complete
documentation or provide information relating to the period during which Employee was employed by
the Company.

          4. Release by Employee.

               a. General Release. In exchange for the Payment, the Benefit Continuation and
the other consideration set forth in this Agreement, Employee does hereby release and
forever discharge the “Company Releasees” herein, consisting of Employer, its parent,
subsidiary and affiliate corporations, and each of their respective past and present
parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, owners, members, stockholders, predecessors,
successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers, partners, representatives,
lawyers, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with them, or any of
them, of and from any and all manner of claims or causes of action, in law or in equity,
of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent (hereinafter called
“Claims”), that Employee now has or may hereafter have against the Company Releasees by
reason of any and all acts, omissions, events or facts occurring or existing prior to the
Date of this Agreement. The Claims released hereunder include, without limitation, any
alleged breach of any express or implied employment agreement; any alleged torts or other
alleged legal restrictions relating to the Employee’s employment and the termination
thereof; and any alleged violation of any federal, state or local statute or ordinance
including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42
USC Section 2000, et seq.; Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, 42
U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29
U.S.C. § 701 et seq.; Civil Rights Act of 1866, and Civil Rights Act of
1991; 42 USC Section 1981, et seq.; Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
as amended, 29 USC Section 621, et seq.; Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 USC
Section 206(d); regulations of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, 41 CFR Section
60, et seq.; The Family and Medical Leave Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 2601
et seq.; the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 201
et seq.; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C.
§ 1001 et seq.; and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act,
California Government Code Section 12940, et seq, as well as all Florida and
Connecticut state laws of a similar nature. This release shall not apply to the
Company’s obligations hereunder, to any vested retirement plan benefits, Employee’s rights
under Labor Code Section 2802 with respect to claims asserted against him, or his rights as
a stockholder of the Company.

               b. Unknown Claims.

               Employee acknowledges that Employee is familiar with the provisions of California civil code
section 1542, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing

2

 

the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his
or her settlement with the debtor.”

Employee being aware of said code section, hereby expressly waives any rights Employee may have
thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.

               c. Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act.

          Employee agrees and expressly acknowledges that this Agreement includes a waiver and release
of all claims which he has or may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as
amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq. (“ADEA”). The following terms and conditions
apply to and are part of the waiver and release of the ADEA claims under this Agreement:

     (1) This Section, and this Agreement are written in a manner calculated to be
understood by him.

     (2) The waiver and release of claims under the ADEA contained in this Agreement does
not cover rights or claims that may arise after the Date of this Agreement.

     (3) This Agreement provides for consideration in addition to anything of value to which
he is already entitled.

     (4) Employee has been advised to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement.

     (5) Employee has been granted twenty-one (21) days after he is presented with this
Agreement to decide whether or not to sign this Agreement. If he executes this Agreement
prior to the expiration of such period, he does so voluntarily and after having had the
opportunity to consult with an attorney, and hereby waives the remainder of the twenty-one
(21) day period.

     (6) Employee has the right to revoke this general release within seven (7) days of
signing this Agreement. In the event this general release is revoked, this Agreement will
be null and void in its entirety, and he will not receive the Payment or the Benefit
Continuation.

          If he wishes to revoke this agreement, Employee shall deliver written notice stating his
intent to revoke this Agreement to Scott Reinke, General Counsel at the offices of Employer on or
before 5:00 p.m. on the seventh (7th) day after the Date of this Agreement.

               d. No Assignment. Employee represents and warrants to the Company Releasees
that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim that the
Employee may have against the Company Releasees, or any of them. Employee agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company Releasees from any

3

 

liability, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred as a
result of any person asserting such assignment or transfer of any right or claims under any
such assignment or transfer from Employee.

               e. No Actions. Employee represents and warrants that he is not presently
aware of any injury for which he may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
Employee agrees that if Employee hereafter commences, joins in, or in any manner seeks
relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to any of the Claims
released hereunder or in any manner asserts against the Company Releasees any of the Claims
released hereunder, then Employee will pay to the Company Releasees against whom such
claim(s) is asserted, in addition to any other damages caused thereby, all attorneys’ fees
incurred by such Company Releasees in defending or otherwise responding to said suit or
Claim. Provided, however, that Employee shall not be obligated to pay the Company
Releasees’ attorney’s fees to the extent such fees are attributable to claims under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act or a challenge to the validity of the release of claims
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

          5. Non-Disparagement/Litigation Assistance. Employee agrees to refrain from any
disparagement, defamation, or slander of the Company, its subsidiaries, employees, investors,
officers, directors, shareholders, agents, or partners, and Employee agrees to refrain from any
tortious or wrongful interference with Company’s contracts and relationships. Employer agrees to
refrain from any disparagement, defamation, or slander of Employee. Employee agrees not to assist
in the prosecution of litigation against Company, its officers, directors, or employees, except as
compelled by legal process, and Employee further agrees not to commence, maintain, prosecute or
participate in (except as may be required by law, pursuant to court order, or in response to a
valid subpoena) any action, charge, complaint, or proceeding of any kind (on his own behalf and/or
on behalf of any other person or entity and/or on behalf of or as a member of any alleged class of
persons) in any court, or before any administrative or investigative body or agency (whether
public, quasi-public or private) against Company, its officers, directors, or employees, with
respect to any act, omission, transaction or occurrence arising out of employment or this
Agreement. This provision will not apply to conduct as to which this provision would be unlawful.

          6. No Admission. The Parties further understand and agree that neither the payment of
money nor the execution of this release shall constitute or be construed as an admission of any
liability whatsoever by the Company Releasees.

          7. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part of
it is found to be unenforceable, the other Sections (or portions thereof) shall remain fully valid
and enforceable.

          8. Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement are intended to be confidential by
the parties. Employer would not enter into this Agreement but for Employee’s promise to maintain
the confidentiality of the terms of and existence of this Agreement. Employee may not disclose the
terms of this Agreement to any person, except that Employee may disclose the terms of this
Agreement as may be required by law or to his immediate family, attorneys, tax and financial
advisors, provided that such individuals agree to be bound by the

4

 

confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Company will be required to disclose the terms
of this Agreement, including a copy of this agreement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 8-K.

          9. Arbitration/Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties hereby agree to submit any claim or
dispute between Employee and the Company or any of the Company Releasees, including any dispute
arising out of or relating to the terms of this Agreement, Employee’s employment or the termination
thereof to binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator experienced in employment law.
Subject to the terms of this Section, the arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the rules of
the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) applicable to employment disputes as they
may be in effect from time to time, and shall take place in Orange County, California. The
arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of the Parties hereto or, if no agreement can be
reached, by JAMS pursuant to its rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in
writing and be final and binding on all Parties to this Agreement, and judgment thereon may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. All fees and costs payable to the Arbitrator or JAMS
shall be paid by the Parties in accordance with JAMS rules; provided, however, that Employee shall
not be required to pay any amount to the Arbitrator or JAMS that would be unique to arbitration or
exceed the costs Employee would incur in pursuing the same claim(s) and action(s) in a court of
competent jurisdiction. Any shortfall shall be paid by the Company. Each party shall bear his or
its own attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, witness expenses and other costs; provided, however,
that the Arbitrator may award such costs, fees or expenses in accordance with applicable law. This
arbitration procedure is intended to be the sole and exclusive method of resolving any dispute
between Employee, the Company and/or the Company Releasees, including without limitation any claim
for breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
Employee’s employment, and the Parties hereby waive any rights to a jury trial.

          10. Withholding. All compensation or benefits payable to Employee pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be subject to deduction of all required federal and state withholding
taxes and any other employment taxes the Company may be required to collect or withhold.

          11. Choice of Law and Venue. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement
shall be interpreted in accordance with California law. To the extent any actions arising out of
relating to this Agreement or Employee’s Employment with Employer must be filed in a court, rather
than arbitration, such actions shall be filed in either the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Orange, or the Federal District Court for the Central District of
California.

          12. Sole and Entire Agreement, No Oral Modification. This Agreement represents the
sole and entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, and
discussions between the Parties hereto and/or their respective counsel, excluding any agreements
concerning confidentiality, trade secret information, or assignment of intellectual property
rights. Any agreement amending or superseding this Agreement must be in writing, signed by duly
authorized representatives of the Parties, specifically references this Agreement; and state the
intent of the Parties to amend or supersede this Agreement. Except as

5

 

expressly modified by the terms of this Agreement, any and all outstanding stock options
granted to Employee by the Company shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant
