Compensation and Benefits Assurance Agreement

     This COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ASSURANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
made, entered into, and is effective as of this XX day of XXXX (the "Effective
Date") by and between Jack in the Box Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the
"Company") and the eligible Executive (hereinafter referred to as the
"Executive").

     WHEREAS, the Executive is presently employed by the Company in a key
management capacity as Senior Vice President or above, which includes Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or President or both, Chief Financial
Officer and Executive Vice President; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive possesses considerable experience and knowledge of
the business and affairs of the Company concerning its policies, methods,
personnel, and operations, and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires assuring the continued employment of the
Executive in a key management capacity, and the Executive is desirous of having
such assurances.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreement of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of other
good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound agree as follows:

Section 1. Term of Agreement

     This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in
effect for two full calendar years (through XXXX) (the "Initial Term").

     The Initial Term of this Agreement automatically shall be extended for two
additional calendar years at the end of the Initial Term, and then again after
each successive two-year period thereafter (each such two-year period following
the Initial Term a "Successive Period"). However, either party may terminate
this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term, or at the end of any Successive
Period thereafter, by giving the other party written notice of intent not to
renew, delivered at least six (6) months prior to the end of such Initial Term
or Successive Period. If such notice is properly delivered by either party, this
Agreement, along with all corresponding rights, duties, and covenants shall
automatically expire at the end of the Initial Term or Successive Period then in
progress.

     In the event that a "Change in Control" of the Company occurs (as such term
is hereinafter defined) during the Initial Term or any Successive Period, upon
the effective date of such Change in Control, the term of this Agreement shall
automatically and irrevocably be renewed for a period of twenty-four (24) full
calendar months from the effective date of such Change in Control. This
Agreement shall thereafter automatically terminate following the twenty-four
(24) month Change-in-Control renewal period. Further, this Agreement shall be
assigned to, and shall be assumed by, the purchaser in such Change in Control,
as further provided in Section 4 herein.

                                       2

Section 2.  Severance Benefits

     2.1. Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to
receive from the Company Severance Benefits as described in Paragraph 2.3
herein, if during the term of this Agreement there has been a Change in Control
of the Company (as defined in Paragraph 2.4 herein) and if, within twenty-four
(24) calendar months immediately thereafter, the Executive's employment with the
Company shall end for any reason specified in Paragraph 2.2 herein as being a
Qualifying Termination. The Severance Benefits described in Paragraphs 2.3(a),
2.3(b), 2.3(c), and 2.3(d) herein shall be paid in cash to the Executive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Severance Benefits, which become due pursuant to
Paragraphs 2.2(c) and 4.1, shall be paid immediately [see notes in 4.1].

     The Severance Benefits described in Paragraphs 2.3(a), 2.3(b), 2.3(c), and
2.3(d), herein shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company.

     2.2. Qualifying Termination. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events (i.e., a "Qualifying Termination") immediately following a
Change in Control of the Company shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits
to the Executive, as such benefits are described under Paragraph 2.3 herein:

          (a)  The Company's involuntary termination of the Executive's
               employment without Cause (as such term is defined in Paragraph
               2.6. herein);

          (b)  The Executive's voluntary termination of employment for Good
               Reason (as such term is defined in Paragraph 2.5 herein); and

     A Qualifying Termination shall not include a termination of the Executive's
employment within twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change in Control by
reason of death, disability (as such term is defined under the Company's
governing disability plan, in effect immediately prior to a Change in control,
the Executive's voluntary termination without Good Reason, or the Company's
involuntary termination of the Executive's employment for Cause.

     I. Death or disability within the qualifying period (twenty-four months)
will be treated within the Company's standard severance policy.

     2.3. Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive
becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Paragraphs 2.1
and 2.2 herein, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide the
Executive, within 90 days or to the extent that a six (6) month delay is
required by the "specified employee" rules of section 409A, with the following:

     (a)  A lump-sum cash amount equal to the Executive's unpaid Base Salary (as
          such term is defined in Paragraph 2.7 herein), accrued vacation pay,
          un-reimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by and
          owed to the Executive through and including the date of the Qualifying
          Termination. Such payment shall constitute full satisfaction for these
          amounts owed to the Executive.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (b)  A lump-sum cash amount equal to the following multiple of the
          Executive's annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the date of the
          Qualifying Termination or, if greater, by the Executive's annual rate
          of Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the
          Change in Control: 3.0x for Chief Executive Officer, 2.5x for
          President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and
          General Counsel and 1.5x for Senior Vice Presidents.

     (c)  A lump-sum cash amount equal to multiples outlined in Paragraph 2.3(b)
          multiplied by the greater of: (i) the bonus percentage used to
          determine the executive's bonus in the prior fiscal year, times the
          executive's annualized Base Salary determined in (b) above or (ii) the
          bonus amount paid for the fiscal year immediately prior to the fiscal
          year of the occurrence of the Change in Control. Such payment shall
          constitute full satisfaction for these amounts owed to the Executive.

     (d)  At the exact same cost to the Executive, and at the same coverage
          level as in effect as of the Executive's date of the Qualifying
          Termination (subject to changes in coverage levels applicable to all
          employees generally), a continuation of the Executive's (and the
          Executive's eligible dependents") health insurance coverage for the
          following time periods from the date of the Qualifying Termination: 36
          months for Chief Executive Officer, 30 months for President and Chief
          Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, and 18
          months for Senior Vice Presidents. This will run concurrently with any
          coverage provided as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
          Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). If this requires a monthly payment
          to the Plan, the Company will pay the required amount, adjusted on a
          pre-tax basis. For this purpose, the executive shall be deemed to be
          at the highest marginal rate of federal and state taxes.

          The providing of these health insurance benefits by the Company shall
          be discontinued prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month
          continuation period to the extent that the Executive becomes covered
          under the health insurance coverage of a subsequent employer which
          does not contain any exclusion or limitation with respect to any
          preexisting condition of the Executive or the Executive's eligible
          dependents. For purposes of enforcing this offset provision, the
          Executive shall have a duty to inform the Company as to the terms and
          conditions of any subsequent employment and the corresponding benefits
          earned from such employment. The Executive shall provide, or cause to
          provide, to the Company in writing correct, complete, and timely
          information concerning the same.

     (e)  The Executive shall be entitled, at the expense of the Company, to
          receive standard outplacement services from a nationally recognized
          outplacement firm of the Executive's selection, for period of up to
          one (1) year from the Executive's date of Qualifying Termination.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     (f)  Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, all
          unvested stock options will become fully vested.

     2.4. Definition of "Change in Control." "Change in Control" of the Company
means, and shall be deemed to have occurred upon, the first to occur of any of
the following events:

     (a)  Any Person (other than those Persons in control of the Company as of
          the Effective Date, or other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding
          securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or a
          corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the
          Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
          stock of the Company) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
          indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent
          (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
          outstanding securities; or

     (b)  During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any
          period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning
          of such period constitute the Board (and any new Director, whose
          election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at
          least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who
          either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose election
          or nomination for election was so approved), cease for any reason to
          constitute a majority thereof; or

     (c)  The stockholders of the Company approve: (i) a plan of complete
          liquidation of the Company; or (ii) an agreement for the sale or
          disposition of all or substantially all for the Company's assets; or
          (iii) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with
          or involving any other corporation, other than a merger,
          consolidation, or reorganization that 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 entity) at least
          forty percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the voting
          securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding
          immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization.

          However, in no event shall a "Change in Control" be deemed to have
          occurred, with respect to the Executive, if the Executive is part of a
          purchasing group which consummates the Change-in Control transaction.
          The Executive shall be deemed "part of a purchasing group" for
          purposes of the preceding sentence if the Executive is an equity
          participant in the purchasing company or group (except for: (i)
          passive ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the stock of the
          purchasing company; or (ii) ownership of equity participation in the
          purchasing company or group which is otherwise not significant, as
          determined prior to the Change in Control by a majority of the
          nonemployee continuing Directors).

                                       5
<PAGE>

     2.5. Definition of "Good Reason." "Good Reason" shall be determined by the
Executive, in the exercise of good faith and reasonable judgment, and shall
mean, without the Executive's express written consent, the occurrence of any one
or more of the following within two (2) years immediately following a Change in
Control:

          (i)  The assignment of the Executive to duties inconsistent with the
               Executive's authorities, duties, responsibilities, and status as
               an executive of the Company, or a reduction or alteration in the
               nature or status of the Executive's authorities, duties, or
               responsibilities, from those in effect as of ninety (90) calendar
               days prior to the Change in Control, other than an insubstantial
               and inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly
               after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

          (ii) The Company's requiring the Executive to be based at a location
               in excess of fifty (50) miles from the location of the
               Executive's principal job location or office immediately prior to
               the Change in Control; except for required travel on the
               Company's business to an extent consistent with the Executive's
               then present business travel obligations;

          (iii) A reduction by the Company of the Executive's Base Salary in
               effect on the Effective Date, or as the same shall be increased
               from time to time;

          (iv) The failure of the Company to keep in effect any of the Company's
               compensation, health and welfare benefits, retirement benefits,
               or perquisite programs under which the Executive receives value,
               as such program exists immediately prior to the Change in
               Control. However, the replacement of an existing program with a
               new program will be permissible (and not grounds for a Good
               Reason termination) if the value to be delivered to the Executive
               under the new program is at least as great as the value delivered
               to the Executive under the existing programs; or

          (v)  Any breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 4 of
               this Agreement or any failure of a successor company to assume
               and agree to perform the Company's entire obligations under this
               Agreement, as required by Section 4 herein.

     The Executive's right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be
affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

     The Executive's continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a
waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason
herein.

     2.6. Definition of "Cause". "Cause" shall be determined by the
Administrative Committee of the Board of Directors, in the exercise of good
faith and reasonable judgment, and shall mean the occurrence of any one or more
of the following:

     (a)  A demonstrably willful and deliberate act or failure to act by the
          Executive (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or
          mental illness) which is committed in bad faith, without reasonable
          belief that such action or inaction is in the best interests of the

                                       6
<PAGE>

          Company, which causes actual material financial injury to the Company
          and which act or inaction is not remedied within fifteen (15) business
          days of written notice from the Company; or

     (b)  The Executive's conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction for
          committing an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any other act
          constituting a felony involving moral turpitude or causing material
          harm, financial or otherwise, to the Company.

     2.7. Other Defined Terms. The following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below:

     (a)  "Base Salary" means, at any time, the then-regular annualized rate of
          pay which the Executive is receiving as a salary, excluding amounts
          (i) designated by the Company as payment toward reimbursement of
          expenses; or (ii) received under incentive or other bonus plans,
          regardless of whether or not the amounts are deferred.

     (b)  "Beneficial Owner" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
          Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act
          (as such term is defined below).

     (c)  "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
          from time to time, or any successor act thereto.

     (d)  "Person" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section
          3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)
          thereof, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d) thereof.

Section 3. Excise Tax - Gross Up

     3.1. Conditional Gross Up & Tax Reimbursement Payment

     (a)  Conditional Gross Up. In the event that the 280G parachute limit is
          exceeded by an amount greater than 10%, a gross up, as defined by
          section 3.2, will apply. If the excess payment is 10% or less, then
          the payments to be made to the Executive under this agreement shall be
          reduced such that the value of the aggregate total payments that the
          executive is entitled to receive shall be one dollar ($1) less than
          the maximum amount which the Executive may receive without becoming
          subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the code or which the
          Company may pay without loss of deduction under 280G(a) of the code.
          Payments in excess of 10% shall be deemed Qualified Payments.

     (b)  Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that an amount greater than
          10% excess as defined in Section 3.1(a) is paid or distributed to
          Executive by the Company or any affiliate (collectively, the "Covered
          Payments"), are or become subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax")
          imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, or any similar tax that may
          hereafter be imposed, the company shall pay to Executive at the time

                                       7
<PAGE>

          specified in this Section an additional amount (the "Tax Reimbursement
          Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Executive with
          respect to such Covered Payments, after deduction of any Excise Tax on
          the Covered Payments and any Federal, state and local income tax and
          other tax on the Tax Reimbursement Payment provided for by this
          Section, but before deduction for any Federal, state or local income
          or employment tax withholding on such Covered Payments, shall be equal
          to the amount of the Covered Payments.

     3.2 Applicable Rules. For purposes of determining whether any of the
Covered Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise
Tax:

     (a)  Such Covered Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments" within
          the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and qualified "parachute
          payments" (refer to Section 3.1(a)) in excess of the "base amount" (as
          defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as
          subject to the Excise Tax, unless, and except to the extent that, in
          the good faith judgment of the Company's independent certified public
          accountants appointed prior to the Effective Date or tax counsel
          selected by such accountants (the "Accountants"), the Company has a
          reasonable basis to conclude that such Covered Payments (in whole or
          in part) either do not constitute "parachute payments" or represent
          reasonable compensation for personal services actually rendered
          (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of
          the "base amount," or such "parachute payments" are otherwise not
          subject to such Excise Tax; and

     (b)  The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit
          shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the
          principles of Section 280G of the Code.

     3.3 Additional Rules. For purposes of determining the amount of the Tax
Reimbursement Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay (A) Federal income
taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of Federal income taxation for the
calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment is to be made, and (B) any
applicable state and local income and other taxes at the highest applicable
marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes
which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid
in such year.

     3.4 Repayment or Additional Payment in Certain Circumstances.

     (a)  Repayment. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined
          by the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding or negotiations with
          the Internal Revenue Service to be less than the amount taken into
          account hereunder in calculating the Tax Reimbursement Payment made,
          Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of
          such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of
          such prior Tax Reimbursement Payment that would not have been paid if
          such lesser Excise Tax had been applied in initially calculating such
          Tax Reimbursement Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event

                                       8
<PAGE>

          any portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment to be repaid to the
          Company has been paid to any Federal, state or local tax authority,
          repayment thereof shall not be required until actual refund or credit
          of such portion has been made to Executive by the applicable tax
          authority. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the
          course of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the
          expenses thereof) if Executive's good faith claim for refund or credit
          is denied.

     (b)  Additional Tax Reimbursement Payment. In the event that the Excise Tax
          is later determined by the Accountants or pursuant to any proceeding
          or negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount
          taken into account hereunder at the time the Tax Reimbursement Payment
          is made (including, but not limited to, by reason of any payment the
          existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the
          Tax Reimbursement Payment), the Company shall make an additional Tax
          Reimbursement Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or
          penalty payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the
          amount of such excess is finally determined.

     3.5 Timing for Tax Reimbursement Payment. The Tax Reimbursement Payment (or
portion thereof) provided for in this Section shall be paid to Executive not
later than ten (10) business days following the payment of the Covered Payments;
provided, however, that if the amount of such Tax Reimbursement Payment (or
portion thereof) cannot be finally determined on or before the date on which
payment is due, the Company shall pay to Executive by such date an amount
estimated in good faith by the Accountants to be the minimum amount of such Tax
Reimbursement Payment and shall pay the remainder of such Tax Reimbursement
Payment (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of
the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined, but in no event later
than 45 calendar days after payment of the related Covered Payment. To the

amount subsequently determined to have been due, Executive shall pay such excess
to the Company on the fifth business day after written demand by the Company for
payment.

Change in Control, direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the
obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place.

and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and

Executive hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all such amounts,
unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if
there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

                                       9

administration of this Agreement.

     In fulfilling its administrative duties hereunder, the Administrative

Section 6.  Contractual Rights and Legal Remedies

     6.1. Contractual Rights to Benefits. This Agreement establishes in the
Executive a right to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled hereunder.
However, except as expressly stated herein, nothing herein contained shall
require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the
Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets
in trust or otherwise to provide for any payment to be made or required
hereunder.

     6.2. Legal Fees, Compensation and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal
fees, costs of litigation, prejudgment interest, and other expenses which are
incurred in good faith by the Executive. Additionally, the Company should be
required to continue to pay and provide the Executive's compensation and
benefits pending resolution of conflict. The aforementioned payments are a
result of the Company's refusal to provide the Severance Benefits to which the
Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or as a result of the Company's
(or any third party's) contesting the validity, enforceability, or
interpretation of the Agreement, or as a result of any conflict between the
parties pertaining to this Agreement.

                                       10

     6.3. Arbitration. The Executive shall have the right and option to elect
(in lieu of litigation) to have any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement settled by arbitration conducted before a panel
of three (3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the Executive within
fifty (50) miles form the location of his or her job with the Company, in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Associations then in
effect. The Executive's election to arbitrate, as herein provided, and the
decision of the arbitrators in that proceeding, shall be binding on the Company
and the Executive.

     Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court having
jurisdiction. All expenses of such arbitration, including the fees and expenses
of the counsel for the Executive, shall be borne by the company.

     6.4. Unfunded Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be an unfunded
general asset promise for a select, highly compensated member of the Company's
management and, therefore, is intended to be exempt from the substantive
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended.

     6.5 Exclusivity of Benefits. Unless specifically provided herein, neither
the provision of this Agreement nor the benefits provided hereunder shall reduce
any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive's rights as
an employee of the Company, whether existing now or hereafter, under any
compensation and/or benefit plans, programs, policies, or practices provided by
the Company, for which the Executive may qualify.

     Vested benefits or other amounts which the Executive is otherwise entitled
to receive under any plan, policy, practice, or program of the company (i.e,
including, but not limited to, vested benefits under the Company's 401(k) plan),
at or subsequent to the Executive's date of Qualifying Termination shall be
payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice, or program except as
expressly modified by this Agreement.

     6.5. Includable Compensation. Severance Benefits provided hereunder shall
not be considered "includable compensation" for purposes of determining the
Executive's benefits under any other plan or program of the Company.

     6.6. Employment Status. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create
an employment agreement between the Company and the Executive, providing for the
employment of the Executive by the Company for any fixed period of time. The
Executive's employment with the Company is terminable at will by the Company or
the Executive and each shall have the right to terminate the Executive's
employment with the Company at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the
Company's obligation to provide Severance Benefits as required hereunder.

     In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or
take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the
Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of
any payment hereunder be reduced by an compensation carried by the Executive as
a result of employment by another employer, other than as provided in Paragraph
2.3(e) herein.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     6.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all prior discussions, negotiations, and agreements concerning the subject
matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any prior severance agreement made
between the Executive and the Company.

     6.8. Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement at federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally required
to be withheld.

     6.9. Waiver of Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Executive's
acceptance of Severance Benefits, the Gross-Up Payment (if applicable), and any
other payments required hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of all rights
and claims of the Executive against the Company pertaining to any matters
arising under this Agreement.

     6.10. Severability. In the event any provision of the Agreement shall be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be
construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included.

     6.11. Applicable Law. To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United
States, the laws of the State of Delaware shall be the controlling law in all
matters relating to the Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Agreement, to be
effective as of the day and year first written above.

                  b. In  addition  to the  Retainer,  Consultant  shall  also be

         per year, based on an annual program  established for Consultant by the
         President and Chief Executive Officer of Standard based upon attainment
         of agreed development goals for new vertical markets.

                  c. The Retainer and  Consulting  Fee represent and  constitute
         the  entire  financial  obligation  of  Standard  to  Consultant,   and
         Consultant   agrees  that  it  shall  not  be  entitled  to  any  other
         compensation.

                                       6

         5.   AUTHORIZED   EXPENSES/REIMBURSEMENT.   Standard   will   reimburse
Consultant for reasonable business expenses incurred by Consultant in connection
with  the  performance  of  its  duties  outlined   herein.   Any  such  expense
reimbursement  requested  by  Consultant  during  the term  shall  be  expressly
conditioned upon Consultant  receiving  advance approval from the Executive Vice
President of Standard  then having  operational  responsibility  for the Western

employees in connection  with this  Agreement and shall be  responsible  for all
reports and obligations respecting them relating to social security,  income tax
withholding,  unemployment  compensation,  workers'  compensation,  and  similar
payroll reporting and employment matters.

260.87  shares of  Standard  stock  granted to Stark as a Key  Non-Employee  (as

pursuant to a certain  Non-Statutory  Stock Option Agreement dated May 27, 2004,
and the  Non-Statutory  Stock Option Agreement dated as of May 2, 2006,  neither
Consultant  or Stark shall  acquire any rights under any pension,  stock option,

hereunder are unique and personal and may not be assigned by Stark or any of his
duties delegated,  without the express written consent and approval of Standard.
Standard may assign this  Agreement and the Agreement  shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of any successor or assignee of Standard.

         9. INDEMNIFICATION.  Consultant and Stark shall indemnify,  defend, and
hold harmless Standard from and against all claims and actions, and all expenses

         11. COVENANTS AGAINST UNFAIR COMPETITION AND DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION.

                  a. During the term of this Agreement,  Consultant,  Stark and,
         as  applicable,  its and his  partners,  associates,  employees  and/or
         affiliates  (collectively   hereinafter  referred  to  as  "Responsible
         Parties")  will have access to and will gain  knowledge with respect to
         trade   secrets  and  private  and  secret   processes   of   Standard,
         confidential   information  concerning  the  financial  statements  and
         operations  of  Standard,   its  sales  and  marketing  activities  and
         procedures,   its  bidding  techniques,  its  design  and  construction
         techniques,  product research and engineering  data, its customer lists
         of  owners  of  parking  facilities,   or  credit  and  financial  data
         concerning  such  customers or potential  customers  (in the  aggregate
         referred  to  hereinafter  as "Secret and  Confidential  Information").
         Consultant  and Stark  acknowledge  that the  Secret  and  Confidential
         Information  constitutes  a  valuable,  special  and  unique  asset  of
         Standard,  to which  Standard  has the right to retain and hereby  does
         retain  all  of  its  proprietary  interests.  However,  access  to and
         knowledge of the Secret and  Confidential  Information  is essential to
         the performance of Consultant's and Stark's  services for Standard.  In
         recognition  of this fact,  Consultant and Stark agree that neither the
         Consultant,  Stark nor any of the Responsible  Parties will,  during or
         after the Consulting  Term,  disclose or divulge any of such Secret and
         Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation,  association
         or other  entity  for any  reason  or  purpose  whatsoever  (except  as
         necessary  in  the  performance  of  Consultant's  and  Stark's  duties
         hereunder)  or  make  use  of  any  of  the  Secret  and   Confidential
         Information  for its or his own  purpose  or those  of the  Responsible
         Parties.

                  b. Consultant and Stark  acknowledge and agree that the remedy
         at law for any breach of this  Section 11 will be  inadequate  and that
         the damages  flowing  from such breach are not  readily  measurable  in
         monetary terms. Accordingly,  it is acknowledged that Standard shall be
         entitled,  among other remedies, to immediate injunctive relief for any
         breach  and,  if the  court so  permits,  to obtain a  temporary  order
         restraining  any  threatened or further  breach.  This  covenant  shall
         nevertheless,  if breached,  give rise to monetary damages,  if any, in
         accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Upon the breach
         or  threatened  breach,  Standard  shall  be  relieved  of any  and all
         obligations to pay any Retainer or Consulting Fee then due and owing or
         to become due and owing to Consultant and/or Stark.

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  c. The covenants on the part of Consultant and Stark set forth
         in this Section 11 shall be construed as agreements  independent of any
         other  provisions of this Agreement,  and the existence of any claim or
         cause of  action  of the  Consultant  and/or  Stark  against  Standard,
         whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute
         a defense to the enforcement by Standard of these covenants.

         12.  DEATH  OR  DISABILITY  OF  STARK.  In the  event  of the  death or
disability (as determined by Standard in its sole discretion) of Stark occurring
during the Consulting  Term,  this  Agreement  shall be deemed  terminated  upon
notice from Standard.  Any Retainer or Consulting Fees earned through he date of
termination shall be paid to Stark or Stark's beneficiaries,  as applicable,  in
accordance with Section 4 hereof.

         13.  REPRESENTATIONS BY CONSULTANT.  In representing  Standard to third
parties,  Consultant,  Stark  or any  of  the  Responsible  Parties,  shall  not
represent  itself,  himself or  themselves  as having any  authority  to bind or
commit Standard to any contract,  to invest funds, or to extend a line of credit
in the name of Standard.

         14.  TERMINATION.  In addition to the  termination  rights set forth in
Section 3 herein,  this Agreement may be terminated by either party if the other
party  defaults  in any of its  obligations  hereunder,  and  fails to cure such
default within fifteen (15) days  following  receipt of written notice  thereof.
Provided,  however,  a violation by  Consultant,  Stark  and/or the  Responsible
Parties of Section 11 herein shall constitute grounds for immediate  termination
of this Agreement by Standard and forfeiture of any Retainer or Consulting  Fees
and/or other sums due or to become due to Consultant hereunder.

         15. INVALID PROVISIONS.  Should any portion of this Agreement,  for any
reason,  be declared by a court of competent  jurisdiction to be unreasonable or
invalid, any such unreasonable portion shall be enforceable to the extent deemed
reasonable by such court and any such invalidity  shall not affect the remaining
portion of this Agreement, which remaining portions shall continue in full force
and effect as if this  Agreement  had been  executed  with the  invalid  portion
thereof  eliminated;  it being the intention of the parties that they would have
executed the  remaining  portion of this  Agreement  without  including any such
invalid portion.

         16.  GOVERNING LAW AND METHOD OF  AMENDMENT.  This  Agreement  shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California
and  contains the entire  understanding  and  agreement  between the parties and
shall not be amended,  modified or supplemented,  except by written agreement by
the parties hereto.

                                       9

         17.  INTEGRATION.  This  Agreement  and the  covenants  and  agreements
contained  in the Second  Executive  Management  Agreement  that by their  terms
survive the termination of the Second Executive Management Agreement,  including
but not limited to Section 2.3 (a) and (b) and  Sections  5.1,  5.2 and 5.3 (the
"Continuing  Covenants")  represent  the entire  agreements  of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.  Consultant and Stark  expressly  reaffirm
the  continued  validity  of the  Continuing  Covenants  and  affirm  that these
covenants  were essential  conditions to the  acquisition by Standard of Stark's
ownership  interest in Executive  Parking and he acknowledges and reaffirms that
the   restrictions  in  Section  2.3  are  reasonable   protections   under  the
circumstances as contemplated in the Second Executive  Management  Agreement and
affirmed by this Agreement.

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