 Dear Marty, 
  
 In connection with our
offer to you of the position of President, reporting to Mike Ramsay, TiVo Inc. is pleased to offer you the following employment terms in addition to the employment terms described in the offer letter we provided to you on April 28, 2003 (the
“Offer Letter”). 
  
 For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2004, TiVo
guarantees a payment of 50% of your bonus under the Executive Incentive Plan as described in the Offer Letter. Further, there will be no pro-ration due to your mid-year start date so you have the opportunity to earn the full year’s bonus.

  
 For the first two full years of your employment, TiVo will establish a
milestone based incentive plan that will pay you $75,000 per year based on achievement of pre-agreed milestones. The milestones for this individualized incentive plan will be mutually agreed to by yourself and Mike Ramsay, and will be paid when the
milestones are achieved. 
  
 A further executive benefit, in addition to
TiVo’s benefit package described in the Offer Letter, for your first 12 months of employment, will be an expense allowance that will not exceed $50,000. This allowance is intended to reimburse you for personal travel costs, living expense and
transportation associated with your commute between New York and Alviso. This allowance will also cover expenses such as broadband access and telecopier service at your Bay Area residence. TiVo will approve and then pay your Bay Area hotel costs for
the first month of your employment. 
  
 TiVo will also reimburse the legal
expenses you incur in the review and preparation of this agreement and the other agreements referred to herein and in the Offer Letter. The total fees associated with legal review shall not exceed $5,000.00. 
  
 In addition to the three stock option awards under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan described
in the Offer Letter, TiVo further commits to award a stock option renewal of at least 100,000 shares during your third year of employment. 
  
 Starting from February 1st 2004, and if mutually agreed to by yourself and the Company that a relocation is required, you and your family will receive a relocation
package from your current home to the Bay Area. Details of this package are to be finalized but would include home finding trips, sale and purchase costs and movement of your household goods. The total expense of this package is not to exceed
$400,000, plus gross up for income tax purposes. This relocation package will be available to you for up to eighteen months from your start date. 
  
 If your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for cause and such termination does not qualify you for severance benefits under the separate
executive agreement 

 Mr. Martin J. Yudkovitz 
 Page 2 
  
  
 between yourself and TiVo referred to in the Offer Letter, you will receive a severance package comprised of the following elements: a) your then-current base salary paid bi-monthly over a 12 month period following
the date of termination; b) your most recently established annual bonus target paid at 100%, in a lump sum at the time of termination; c) the remainder of your Sign-On Bonus (as defined in the Offer Letter), or four quarterly payments of your
Sign-On Bonus, whichever is less; d) medical, dental, and vision benefits equivalent to those in place at the time of termination will continue for the 12 month period following the date of termination; and e) effective as of the date of
termination, such number of your outstanding stock options as would have vested, simply as a result of the passage of time, during the 12 month period following the date of termination if you had remained continuously employed with the Company will
vest and become immediately exercisable as of the date of termination and will remain exercisable for ninety (90) days following the date of termination. The conditions under which the Company may terminate your employment for cause shall be the
same as those set forth in the executive agreement referred to above. 
  
 This
letter, together with the Offer Letter, supersedes any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether written or oral. Please sign and date this letter and the Offer Letter, and return them to me if you wish to accept employment at TiVo
under the terms described above and in the Offer Letter.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                INDEMNIFICATION

     8.1     Indemnification  from Taurus to Rick's.  Taurus agrees to and shall
             --------------------------------------
indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Rick's), and hold
Rick's,  its  officers,  directors, shareholders, employees, agents, affiliates,
and  assigns  harmless  at  all times after the date of this Agreement, from and
against  and  in  respect  of,  any  liability, claim, deficiency, loss, damage,
penalty  or  injury, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys'  fees  and costs of any suit related thereto) suffered or incurred by
Rick's  arising  from (a) any misrepresentation by, or breach of any covenant or
warranty  of  Taurus  contained  in  this Agreement, or any exhibit or schedule,
certificate,  or  other  instrument  furnished  or  to  be  furnished  by Taurus
hereunder,  or  (b)  any  nonfulfillment  of any agreement on the part of Taurus
under  this  Agreement.

     8.2     Indemnification from Rick's.  Rick's agrees to and shall indemnify,
             ---------------------------
defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Taurus) and hold Taurus, its
officers,  directors,  shareholders,  employees,  agents, affiliates and assigns
harmless at all times after the date of Closing from and against, and in respect
of any liability, claim, deficiency, loss, damage, or injury, and all reasonable
costs  and  expenses (including reasonably attorneys' fees and costs of any suit
related  thereto) suffered or incurred by Taurus, from (a) any misrepresentation
by, or breach of any covenant or warranty of, Rick's contained in this Agreement
or  any  exhibit  or  schedule,  certificate,  or  other agreement or instrument
furnished  or to be furnished by Rick's hereunder, (b) any nonfulfillment of any
agreement  on  the  part  of  Rick's  under  this  Agreement,  or  from  any
misrepresentation  in  or  omission  from, any certificate or other agreement or
instrument  furnished or to be furnished to Taurus hereunder; or (c) the Assumed
Liabilities.

     8.3     Defense  of  Claims.  If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed
             -------------------
against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice
thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and
in  any event not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any hearing date or other
date  by  which  action  must  be  taken);  provided  that  the  failure  of any
indemnified  party  to  give  timely  notice  shall  not  affect  rights  to
indemnification  hereunder  except  to  the  extent  that the indemnifying party
demonstrates  actual  damage  caused by such failure.  After such notice, if the
indemnifying  party  shall acknowledge in writing to such indemnified party that
this  Agreement  applies  with  respect  to  such  lawsuit  or  action, then the
indemnifying  party  shall  be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the
defense  and  investigation  of  such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage
attorneys  of  its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying
party's  cost,  risk  and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in
all  reasonable  respects,  at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying
party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit
or  action  and  any  appeal  arising  therefrom;  provided,  however,  that the

                                        8
<PAGE>
indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial
and  defense  of  such  lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.  The
indemnifying  party  shall  not,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  the
indemnified  party,  effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which
any  indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless
such  settlement  of  a  claim,  investigation,  suit,  or other proceeding only
involves  a  remedy  for  the  payment  of  money  by the indemnifying party and
includes  an  unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on  claims  that  are  the  subject  matter  of  such  proceeding.

     8.4     Default  of Indemnification Obligation.  If an entity or individual
             --------------------------------------
having  an  indemnification,  defense  and  hold  harmless  obligation, as above
provided,  shall  fail  to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or
both,  as  the  case  may  be,  to  whom  such indemnification, defense and hold
harmless  obligation  is  due  shall  have the right, but not the obligation, to
assume and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of
any  suit  related  thereto)  and  to make any settlement or pay any judgment or
verdict  as  the  individual  or  entities deem necessary or appropriate in such
individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any
such  settlement,  payment,  expense  and costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees,  to  the  entity  or  individual  that  had the obligation to provide such
indemnification,  defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute
an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case
may  be.
