Amendment of Solicitation/Modification to Subcontract—QSF 4.6.24Exhibit 10.16  

December

Mr.
Douglas Alexander

1200 Fairview Road

Villanova, PA 19085 

Dear
Doug: 

        On
behalf of the Board of Directors of Mobility Technologies, Inc. ("Mobility" or the "Company"), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The
purpose of this letter is to confirm the terms of our offer to you. 

        You
agree to devote your full business-time and efforts to serving as Mobility's CEO and will perform those duties as assigned to you, from time to time, by the Company's Board of
Directors as the Board determines to be in the best interest of Mobility including providing services to Internet Capital Group under any leased employee agreement between Mobility and Internet
Capital Group. Your employment in this position will begin December 26, 2002. 

        In
consideration for your services to the Company, you shall receive a base salary of $14,583.33 paid twice per month, less taxes required by applicable law and deductions authorized by
you. You will be eligible for a bonus, if declared, under the terms and conditions of the ICG bonus plan. Your target bonus award will be 100% of your base salary. 

        Upon
meeting all applicable eligibility requirements, you will be entitled to participate in all generally available fringe benefit programs offered by Mobility. These benefits currently
include company-paid basic medical, dental, disability, and life insurance, and are subject to change or elimination at any time at Mobility's discretion. In addition, the Company currently sponsors a
401(k) plan. All reasonable business expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with standard Company procedures, subject to the submission of an approved expense report. 

        The
Company will make available to you equipment deemed necessary for your business use. Such equipment shall be installed and maintained by Mobility subject to the Company's normal
business practices. Please note these items and all other business materials including, but not limited to, files, e-mails, disks, correspondence, and any other related information, shall be returned
to Mobility upon the termination of your employment. 

Mr.
Douglas Alexander

December 20, 2002

Subject
to finalizing the terms of your employment as set forth in this letter, a stock option grant for 997,000 shares of common stock of Mobility, representing four percent (4%) of the
outstanding shares of the Company, have been approved by the Board of Directors. These shares are being offered subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the stock option grant attached. 

        If
Mobility is split up into different entities, the percentage of your holdings in Mobility will be transferred to the new entity or entities. For example, if you hold 4% of the shares
of Mobility, and the media and telematics operations are split off into different corporations, a stock option grant representing 4% of the outstanding shares of the new corporations will be prepared. 

        If
Mobility completes another round of financing that retires the outstanding balance under the $20 million senior secured credit facility or the $11 million license
agreement, an additional stock option grant will be submitted for approval at the following Board meeting. That grant will be for the number of shares required to render the portion of the transaction
used to retire the debt to be non-dilutive. 

        If
Mobility, or some entity split or spun off from Mobility in which you have received stock options as set forth above, is sold within the next forty eight months, you shall be paid a
bonus of 4% of the net proceeds from such sale, less the value of the shares represented by options exercised by you prior to or at the time of such sale, plus the exercise price of said options
multiplied by the number of options exercised by you prior to or at the time of such sale. The bonus shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Company of the sale proceeds.
In addition, the bonus shall be paid in the same form as the sale proceeds received by the Company. In other words, to the extent that cash is received by the Company, you shall receive your relative
percentage of the cash and, to the extent that securities or other consideration are received by the Company, you shall receive your relative
percentage of such other consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the bonus exceed the maximum of $4.7 million if the sale occurs in the first year, $5.2 million
if the sale occurs in the second year, $6.2 million if the sale occurs in the third year, and $7.2 million if the sale occurs in the fourth year or beyond. For purposes of this
paragraph, the 'value' of shares represented by options exercised by you shall be determined based upon the amount a holder of common stock without preferences would be entitled to receive as a result
of the sale. Options in the stock of the sold entity not exercised prior to said sale and not considered in the calculation of "value" shall be forfeited. 

        You
are entitled to the full bonus only if you are employed by Mobility at the time of the sale. In the event that you are not employed by Mobility at the time of the sale, your right to
this bonus shall vest ratably, on a monthly basis, over the first forty-eight months of your employment by the Company. If you are terminated after six months of employment, an additional twelve forty
eighths (12/48) of the bonus shall vest immediately. 

Mr.
Douglas Alexander

        It
is our understanding and agreement that this bonus (as well as all other compensation amounts described herein) will constitute reasonable compensation for your services and,
accordingly, that no excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), shall apply. 

        If,
however, all, or any portion, of the payments and benefits described in this letter, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which you receive or are entitled to
receive from the Company, would constitute an excess "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, (whether or not under an existing plan, arrangement, or other agreement) (each
such parachute payment, a "Parachute Payment"), and would result in the imposition on you of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then, in addition to any other benefits to which you are
entitled under this letter or otherwise, the Company (or its successor) shall pay you an amount in cash equal to the sum of the excise taxes payable by you by reason of receiving Parachute Payments
plus the amount necessary to place you in the same after-tax position (taking into account any and all applicable federal, state and local excise, income or other taxes at the highest possible
applicable rates on such Parachute Payments including, without limitation, any payments under this paragraph) as if no excise taxes had been imposed with respect to Parachute Payments (the "Parachute
Gross-up"). Any Parachute Gross-up otherwise required by this paragraph shall not be made later than the time of the corresponding payment or benefit hereunder giving rise to the underlying
Section 4999 excise tax, even if the payment of the excise tax is not required under the Code until a later time. 

        Subject
to the provisions of the following paragraph and except as may otherwise be agreed to by the Company and you, the amount or amounts (if any) payable under the preceding paragraph
shall be as conclusively determined by such firm as mutually agreed to by the Company and you ("Independent Tax Counsel"), whose determination or determinations shall be final and binding on all
parties. You hereby agree to utilize such determination or determinations, as applicable, in filing all of your tax returns with respect to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
if any. If such Independent Tax Counsel fails or refuses to make the required determinations for any reason, then such determinations shall be made by a comparable firm or group of national reputation
to which the parties reasonably mutually agreed. All fees and expenses of the Independent Tax Counsel or its replacement shall he paid by the Company. 

Mr.
Douglas Alexander

December 20, 2002

        As
a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of any initial determination by the Independent Tax Counsel hereunder, it is possible
that Parachute Gross-up payments, if any, which will not have been made by the Company, should have been made, together with any interest, penalties or taxes of any kind thereon, consistent with the
calculations required to be made hereunder (a "Underpayment"). The Company shall pay all such Underpayment to or for your benefit. You shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-up Payment within ten (10) business days after you are informed in writing of such claim. The Company shall
notify you within ten (10) business days of receipt of the notice that the Company (x) will pay the Underpayment and do so on or before the date due, or (y) that it desires to contest such claim. You
will cooperate with the Company in any such contest; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold you harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a
result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-up Payment would be payable
hereunder and you shall be entitled, at your expense, to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 

        This
offer of employment is contingent upon your execution and return of the enclosed 'Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement.' Please read this document carefully.
Among other things, it requires that all disputes between you, the Company, and any of its officers, directors, or employees be submitted to binding arbitration. 

        By
signing this letter, you acknowledge that you are not a party to any instrument, agreement, or other understanding with any person or entity (other than Mobility) that would prevent
you from fully performing your duties as CEO, or that restricts the use or disclosure of any confidential information except related to your employment with or services to Internet Capital Group. If
you are a party to any such agreement or understanding, you agree to identify such agreements in writing and provide them to Mobility before you begin employment. 

        You
further agree that this offer of employment is contingent upon (a) the Board of Directors of the Company reviewing and approving such agreements and (b) obtaining any
consents necessary under existing shareholder agreements. As a legal matter, please note that this offer letter supersedes all previous discussions about the terms of your employment with the Company
and all other discussions that have taken place regarding the Company. In addition, please be advised that you will be employed as an "at will" employee, which means that either you or the Company can
terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. 

Mr.
Douglas Alexander
