Salary”), payable twice monthly in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll
practices.

     (b) In addition to your Base Salary, you will be entitled to receive a bonus
(“Performance Bonus”) to be calculated at the completion of each calendar quarter
upon closing of the accounting records and reporting results to the Board for such quarter
and according to the following formula:

     (i) EBITDA for the quarter in question will be compared to the average EBITDA
for each of the four (4) quarters immediately preceding the quarter in question;

     (ii) Net sales for the quarter in question will be compared to the average net
sales for each of the four (4) quarters immediately preceding the quarter in
question;

added together and divided by two (2) (the “ Combined Percentage”).
The following bonus structure will apply and be paid: Negative to 0 growth in the
Combined Percentage = no bonus; (ii) 0% to 4% growth in the Combined Percentage = a
bonus of 6% of quarterly base salary; (iii) more than 4% up to 8% growth in the
Combined Percentage =  a bonus of 12% of quarterly base salary; (iv) more than 8% up
to 12% growth in the Combined Percentage =  a bonus of 30% of quarterly base salary;
and (v) more than 12% up to 20% growth in the Combined Percentage = a bonus of 50% of
quarterly base salary; and (vi) more than
20% growth in the Combined Percentage = a bonus of 70% of quarterly base
salary.

You will submit a computation of the calculations used in computing the above bonuses,
which computations will be reviewed by the Board before such bonuses are paid.

     (c) In addition to your Base Salary and Performance Bonus, you will receive options

be based upon a ten million dollar ($10,000,000) valuation of the equity of the Company and

($20,000,000) valuation of the equity of the Company All of the options will vest over four
(4) years with cliff vesting after first year and quarterly vesting after that. All of the
options described above will vest immediately upon a Change in Control (as defined below)
of the Company.

(i) As used in this Section 3(c), the term “Change in  Control”
means:

     (A) Any merger or statutory plan of exchange involving the Company
(“Merger”) in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving
entity or pursuant to which Common Units would be converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than a Merger involving the Company in
which the holders of Common Units immediately prior to the Merger have the
same proportionate ownership of Common Units of the surviving entity after
the Merger;

     (B) Any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction
or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or the adoption of any plan or proposal for
liquidation or dissolution; or

securities convertible into Common Units) and such offer results in a
portion of those securities being purchased and the offer or after the
consummation of the offer is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly,

power of outstanding securities of the Company.

     (d) At the time that you and the Company agree as to the final form of this Agreement,
the Company will issue to you a lump-sum payment in the gross amount of twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000) to cover expenses associated with the relocation of yourself and your
family to a home in Northern California. Following (i) your execution of a final employment
agreement and (ii) your delivering to your current employer a formal resignation, effective
immediately, on or prior to August 1, 2007, the relocation expense amount will be

executed a final employment agreement and you have not delivered an immediate
resignation to your current employer prior to such date, then the amount in escrow
immediately shall be returned to the Company. If you do not receive the stock options that
you expect to receive from your current employer based upon your continued employment

thereof upon receipt of documentation of their value; provided, that the Company will not
be required to pay you an amount in excess of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000).

expenses actually incurred or paid by you in the performance of your services on behalf of the
company, upon prior authorization and approval in accordance with the Company’s expense
reimbursement policy as from time to time in effect.

execution of, and delivery to, the Company of an agreement that covers non-compete,

to which you may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan or program, and if
upon such termination you promptly execute a general release in form reasonably acceptable
to the Company, you shall be entitled to payment of your Base Salary for the applicable
severance period, as set forth below (the “Severance Period”), or until a breach by
you of your obligations under Sections 5 hereof; provided, however, that such
payments shall be reduced to the extent of any other compensation that you receive or earn
in the event you obtain a full-time senior management position with a subsequent employer.

time of such termination you have not yet relocated your home as provided in Section 3
(d) and means six (6) calendar months if, at such time, you have relocated your home as
so provided.

     (b) In the event that your employment terminates for any reason other than as
described in Section 6(a) above, including by reason of your death, Disability or
resignation other than for Good Reason, then you shall be entitled to receive severance and
any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company’s existing severance
and benefit plans and policies at the time of such termination.

     (c) For the purposes of this Section 6, the following shall apply:

Page 4

 

     (i) Cause. The Company may terminate your employment for cause immediately upon delivery
to you of notice thereof in writing. For all purposes under this letter, “Cause” shall mean (A)
failure by you to substantially perform your duties hereunder or your failure to perform such
duties as are reasonably expected by the Company, other than failure resulting from your complete
or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or impairment, (B) violation by you of the
provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, (C) an act by you which constitutes gross
misconduct and which is injurious to the Company, or which constitutes a felony (other than with
respect to the operation of a motor vehicle), (D) a breach by you of a material provision of this
letter or (E) a material violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the
business of the Company. No compensation or benefits will be paid or provided to you under this
letter on account of a termination for Cause, or for periods following the date when such a
termination of employment is effective. Your rights under the benefit plans of the Company shall be
determined under the provisions of those plans.

     (ii) Disability. The Company may terminate your employment for Disability by giving you
thirty (30) days’ advance notice thereof in writing. For all purposes under this letter,
“Disability” shall mean that you, at the time notice is given, have been unable to substantially
perform your duties under this letter for a period of not less than six (6) consecutive months as
the result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness. In the event that you resume the
performance of substantially all of your duties hereunder before the
termination of your employment under this Section 6(c)(ii) becomes effective, the notice of termination shall
automatically be deemed to have been revoked. No compensation or benefits will be paid or provided
to you under this letter on account of termination for Disability or for periods following the date
when such a termination of employment is effective. Your rights under the benefit plans of the
Company shall be determined under the provisions of those plans.

     (iii) Good Reason. Employment with the Company may be regarded as having been constructively
terminated by the Company, and you may therefore terminate your employment, for Good Reason and
thereupon become entitled to the benefits of Section 6(a) above (subject to your promptly
executing a general release in form reasonably acceptable to the Company), if, during the course of
your employment with the Company, one or more of the following events shall occur (unless such
event(s) applies generally to all management of the Company):
(A) a material reduction by the Company in your Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such
reduction; (B) the relocation of you to a facility or a location more than one hundred (100) miles
from the Company headquarters in Concord, California without your express written consent; (C) the
failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this letter by any successor; or (D) any
material breach by the Company of any material provision of this letter.
