	Re:	  	Separation and Release Agreement

 We have made the difficult decision to terminate your position as Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales effective
October 5, 2007. 
 You will be paid your base pay through October 31, 2007 in lieu of notice, and for any unused, accrued vacation. Your earned
MIP bonus will be paid on the October 31, 2007 payroll. Your medical benefits will be paid through October 31, 2007, as well. You will be notified of your rights to continue benefits for up to eighteen (18) months under COBRA. You
have ninety (90) days from your termination date to exercise any vested stock options. 
 In addition, if you sign this Separation and Release
Agreement, you will receive a lump sum payment of twelve months severance pay calculated on your base salary less required deductions, including deductions for applicable state and federal taxes. This lump sum payment will be made on
January 15, 2008. The company will also continue your medical, dental, and vision (as applicable) by paying your COBRA premiums for twelve months. Following IRS rules, these costs will be added as income on your W2. If you become employed
within this 12 month period and are entitled to equal or better benefits with your new employer, you agree to notify the company to terminate the continuation of COBRA benefits. You can continue your COBRA coverage at your own expense per federal
guidelines. In addition, your stock options and/or restricted stock awards shall continue to vest during the six month period commencing November 1, 2007. You will have ninety (90) days from April 30, 2008 to exercise any vested stock
options. In the event that an “Event” is announced (as defined in the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan) prior to April 30, 2008, and subsequently closes, your shares shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable effective as of
immediately prior to and contingent upon consummation of the Event. 
 You also agree to preserve as confidential all trade secrets, confidential knowledge,
data or other proprietary information relating to products, processes, know-how, designs, formulas, developmental or experimental work, computer programs, data bases, other original works of authorship, customer lists, business plans, financial
information or other subject matter pertaining to any business of Secure Computing or any of its employees, clients, consultants or licensees. Moreover, you agree for a period of twelve (12) months after your termination not to, directly or
indirectly through others, solicit, recruit, or encourage any Secure Computing employees to leave their employment. 
 Immediately prior to your termination,
please return to (and not keep in your possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment
(including your laptop and hard drive), other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by you during the course of your employment with Secure Computing or otherwise belonging to Secure. Please give the above
items to Renee Kirk. You may keep your laptop provided that it is scrubbed of Secure Computing confidential and proprietary information. 
 Your signature
below indicates that you hereby fully and completely release and waive any and all claims, complaints, causes of action or demands of whatever kind which you have or may have against the Company and all its predecessors, successors, assigns,
subsidiaries, officers, employees, and agents arising out of any action, conduct, decision, behavior, or events occurring to the date of your signature on this letter, except as is set forth below, including, but not limited to, the terms,
conditions, and circumstances of your employment and the termination of your employment. 

 This letter extends to but is not limited to all claims, whether based on statutory or common law claims, for age,
disability, or other forms of employment discrimination, including claims arising under or based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1967 as amended, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Equal
Pay Act as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as amended, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Civil Code, the California
Fair Employment and Housing Act and Labor Code section 201, et seq. and section 970, et seq., or any other applicable federal, state or local employment discrimination statute or ordinance. You further understand that this Release
extends to but is not limited to all claims that you may have for wrongful discharge, defamation, assault, battery, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, promissory estoppel, fraud, impairment of economic
opportunity, or any other theory, whether legal or equitable. 
 You understand that California law includes Civil Code Section 1542 which says that
releases usually do not apply to certain unknown claims. Specifically, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code states as follows: 
 “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.” 
 You, being aware of this Code section, agree to waive any rights you may have under this Section, as well as under any other statutes or
common law principles of similar effect. 
 This letter will not and does not impair or apply to any existing rights you have under present existing employee
benefit plans of the Company or pursuant to this letter. 
 By signing below, you acknowledge that you fully understand and accept the terms of this letter
and Release and represent and agree that your signature is freely, voluntarily and knowingly given. The terms of this letter and Release shall be open for acceptance by you for a period of forty-five (45) days after the date set forth above,
during which time you may consider whether or not you accept the terms of this letter and Release and have had the opportunity to obtain the advice of legal counsel of your choice, and you are hereby advised to do so, with respect to the meaning and
effect of the terms herein. You further understand that you have a right to rescind the terms of the Release for any reason within fifteen (15) days after the date you sign below. If you elect to rescind the terms of the Release, you shall
provide written notice of this election to the Vice President of Human Resources, Secure Computing Corporation, Paul G. Hawes. 
 You are signing this
Separation and Release Agreement in consideration of the severance the Company is providing. 
 I appreciate the contributions you have made to Secure
Computing Corporation. I wish you success in all your future endeavors. 
 I understand and accept the terms of this Separation and Release Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A 
 SECOND CONSENT TO LICENSE 
 AGREEMENT AND USE OF COLLATERAL 
 This Second Consent to License Agreement and Use of Collateral (“Second Consent”) is made as of September 9, 2008, by and between
Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) and Durect Corporation (“Durect). 
 RECITALS

 A. Hercules is the lender to EpiCept Corporation (“EpiCept”) and Maxim Pharmaceuticals Inc. (together with
EpiCept, the “Borrowers”) pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2006, as amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). 
 B. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Hercules a security interest in and to certain “Collateral,” as that term is
defined in the Loan Agreement. The Collateral includes all of the Borrowers’ personal property, including intellectual property. 
 C.
On December 20, 2006, EpiCept and Durect entered into that certain License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), whereby EpiCept granted to Durect a license in and to certain of EpiCept’s intellectual property (the
“Subject IP”). 
 D. As a condition to its willingness to enter into the License Agreement, Durect required Hercules to
provide assurances that, among other things, Durect’s rights under the License Agreement would be preserved notwithstanding an event of default by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, or in the event of a disposition of the Collateral or
other enforcement of Hercules’ rights as a secured party upon the Borrowers’ default. 
 E. Hercules provided Durect with such
assurances by executing and delivering that certain Consent to License Agreement and Use of Collateral, dated as of November 17, 2006 (the “First Consent”). 
 F. Durect and EpiCept have determined to amend the License Agreement, pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement between EpiCept
and Durect, dated as of an even date herewith and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “License Amendment”), and Durect again requires assurances from Hercules similar to those obtained pursuant to the First Consent, as provided
herein. 
 G. Hercules is willing to provide Durect such assurances by executing and delivering this Second Consent, in view of the potential
benefits to Hercules (including the enhancement of the value of the Collateral) as a result of EpiCept and Durect entering into the License Amendment. 
 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree and covenant as follows: 
 1. Hercules has reviewed the License Amendment and
hereby consents to EpiCept entering into the License Amendment. Hercules acknowledges that the License Amendment modifies the terms of the License Agreement causing, among other things, the license granted by EpiCept to Durect to be exclusive,
royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual and irrevocable upon the occurrence of the Amendment Date (as defined in the License Amendment). Hercules agrees that the License Agreement, as amended by the License Amendment is a “Permitted
Transfer” as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement. 
 2. All of the rights granted to Durect under the License Agreement, as
amended by the License Amendment with respect to the Subject IP are hereby recognized by Hercules, and such rights shall not be cancelled, terminated, diminished, or otherwise interfered with by Hercules so long as Durect is not in breach of any of
the terms contained in the License Agreement, as amended by the License Amendment, and, including on account of (a)

  

 4 

 
a default by either of the Borrowers, or the occurrence of any other “Event of Default,” under and as defined by the Loan Agreement, or
(b) any disposition of, or other enforcement of the security interest in, the Collateral on account of a default under the Loan Agreement. Any such disposition of, or other enforcement of the security interest in, the Collateral shall expressly
be subject to the rights of Durect under the License Agreement, as amended by the License Amendment, including but not limited to the right to enforce any exclusivity provision under the License Agreement, as amended by the License Amendment.

 3. Following a disposition of, or other enforcement of the security interest in, the Collateral on account of a default by any of the
Borrowers, Durect will, if so requested in writing by the party that acquires any portion of the Collateral that includes the Subject IP, and upon the demonstration to the reasonable satisfaction of Durect of the acquiring party’s rights and of
the termination of any rights of the Borrowers in the Collateral, enter into a new license (the “New License”) for the Subject IP with the acquiring party on the same terms as the License Agreement, as amended by the License
Amendment (including the terms of this Second Consent), including, without limitation, the terms that make the license exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual and irrevocable. 
 4. This Second Consent contains the complete agreement between the parties hereto and may not be modified orally or in any other manner other than by an
agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. 
 5. This Second Consent shall be governed in
all respects by the laws of the State of California, irrespective of its choice of law rules. 
 6. This Second Consent may be executed in
identical counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 7. This
Second Consent shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective heirs, successors and assigns, it being expressly understood that all references herein to Hercules shall be deemed to include not only Hercules,
but also its legal representatives, successors and assigns, and all parties subsequently acquiring title in and to the Collateral from or through Hercules. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Second Consent by their proper officers or representatives to be effect as of the day and year first written above.
