3.    POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a)    Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for the Initial Term, the Executive shall be employed as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and be responsible for the general management of the affairs of the Company.  During the remainder of the Employment Period, the Executive shall be employed as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company and shall have such duties and responsibilities for the management of the Company as shall be assigned to him from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided that such duties and responsibilities shall not be inconsistent with those that could reasonably be expected to be performed by a part-time senior executive of a major corporation; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding the termination of the Initial Term, the Company shall 

3

continue to provide to the Executive executive office space and secretarial support comparable to that made available to the Executive during the Initial Term.  The Executive has heretofore been elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Executive, in carrying out his duties under this Agreement, shall report to the Board.  During the Initial Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and shall use his best efforts, skills and abilities to promote its interests. During the remainder of the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote one-half of his business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and shall use his best efforts, skills and abilities to promote its interests.  It is the intent of the Company and the Executive that there shall not occur a Separation from Service (as defined in Section 9(i) hereof) with respect to the Executive until the end of the Employment Period.  To that end, and notwithstanding the end of the Initial Term, the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 2 or the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, the Executive agrees to use his best efforts to continue to provide to the Company until the end of the Employment Period, and the Company agrees to use its best efforts to utilize, such services of the Executive as may be necessary to ensure that there will not be a Separation from Service with respect to the Executive prior to the end of the Employment Period.  The Company hereby agrees that so long as the Executive, members of his immediate family (including his wife, his children and their spouses and his grandchildren) or entities controlled by the Executive and/or the members of his immediate family are the beneficial owners of at least 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, any policy of the Company requiring the resignation of a director or the termination of the services of a person as a director of the Company at age 72 shall not apply to the Executive. 
(b)    Nothing herein shall preclude the Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of other corporations subject to the approval of the Board in each case (which approval has been given as to the boards on which the Executive is currently serving as a director), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) serving, to the extent consistent with past practice, on the boards of a reasonable number of educational and/or charitable organizations, (iii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iv) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities set forth in this Section 3(b) do not materially interfere with the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities under Section 3(a).
4.    BASE SALARY.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be paid the Base Salary, which shall be payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company.  The Base Salary shall be reviewed annually for increase in the discretion of the Board.  
5.    ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARD.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall participate in the Company’s Management Performance Incentive Plan (MPIP) or any successor annual incentive award plan of the Company. Under such plan, the Executive shall have a target bonus opportunity each year equal to at least 100% of his then Base Salary, payable in that amount if the performance goals established for the relevant year are met.  If such performance goals are not met, the Executive shall receive a lesser amount (or nothing) as determined in accordance with applicable plan guidelines.  If such 

4

performance goals, are exceeded, the Executive may receive a greater amount as determined in accordance with applicable plan guidelines.  The Executive shall be paid his annual incentive awards no later than other senior executives of the Company are paid their annual incentive awards.
6.    SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION.
Subject to Section 9(i) hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, during his lifetime, a supplemental pension benefit equal to $500,000 per annum, which amount shall be payable in four equal quarterly installments each year.  To provide for the payment of such annuity, the Company has established a so-called “rabbi trust” in customary form for the benefit of the Executive and has contributed to such trust a single life annuity insurance policy that insures the payment of such annuity, as aforesaid.  
7.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee pension and welfare benefit plans and programs made available to the Company’s senior level executives or to its employees generally, as such plans or programs may be in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, pension, profit sharing, savings and other retirement plans or programs, 401(k), medical, dental, hospitalization, life insurance plans, accidental death and dismemberment protection, travel accident insurance, and any other pension or retirement plans or programs and any other employee welfare benefit plans or programs that may be sponsored by the Company from time to time, including any plans that supplement the above-listed types of plans or programs, whether funded or unfunded.

The Company shall pay all reasonable financial consultant and legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the negotiation of the Executive’s employment arrangements with the Company.
(b)    During the Employment Period, the Company will (i) provide a car and driver for the Executive’s use, consistent with past practice, (ii) make available a portion of the Company’s executive office space (or the equivalent), consistent with past practice, for use by The Goergen Foundation, The Ropart Group Limited and their Affiliates and (iii) permit the Executive to use the Company’s aircraft (subject to the obligation to reimburse the Company for the value of the personal use thereof determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.61-21(g)).
(c)    During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation per year of employment, which shall accrue and otherwise be subject to the Company’s vacation policy for senior executives.

A voluntary termination under this Section 9(e)(i) shall be effective 30 calendar days after prior written notice is received by the Company.
(ii)    The Executive may retire at any time following the giving of 90 days prior written notice of retirement to the Board (including by the giving of prior written notice of termination of the Employment Period pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii)), in which event he will be entitled to the benefits described in Section 9(d).
(f)    Other Termination Benefits.  In the case of any of the foregoing terminations, the Executive or his estate shall also be entitled to:

(h)    Nature of Payments.  Any amounts due under this Section 9 are in the nature of severance payments considered to be reasonable by the Company and are not in the nature of a penalty.
(i)    Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Executive shall not be paid any compensation or benefits to be provided hereunder upon a separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and herein called a “Separation from Service”) with the Company until the date which is 6 months after the date of such Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Executive) if, and to the extent that interest and/or penalties would be payable in respect of such compensation or benefits pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder if paid prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not pay the Executive compensation or benefits by reason of the provisions of this subparagraph (k), then, on the date which is 6 months after the date of such Separation from Service, it shall pay all of such compensation and benefits as was not so paid together with interest thereon at rate of 6% per annum, compounded quarterly, calculated from the dates that payment thereof was due, but for this Section 9(i), to the date of payment thereof.

9

subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company has given written consent to removal at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment and except for his personal rolodex, phone book and similar items.
(c)    The Executive agrees that the Company’s remedies at law would be inadequate in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 10; accordingly, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its rights at law, to an injunction and other equitable relief without the need to post a bond.
11.    NONCOMPETITION.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 11(b) below and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any and all payments (except those made from Company sponsored tax-qualified pension or welfare plans), benefits or other entitlements to which the Executive or his spouse may be eligible in accordance with the terms hereof, may be forfeited, whether or not in pay status, at the discretion of the Company, if the Executive at any time without the consent of the Company establishes a relationship with a competitor which is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries (a “Competitive Activity”).  For purposes of this Section 11, the term “establishes a relationship with a competitor” shall mean founding, organizing, establishing, becoming associated with, becoming employed by, rendering services to, consulting or acting as a consultant to, serving as a director for, being a partner in or owning a substantial interest in, as shareholder or otherwise, a business, entity or enterprise which designs, develops, manufactures, produces, offers for sale or sells a product or service which can be used as a substitute for, performs substantially the same function as, is a practical alternative for, or is generally intended to satisfy the same customer or client needs for, any product or service which is designed, developed, manufactured, produced, offered for sale or sold by the Company or its subsidiaries and which generates revenues equal to 5% of the consolidated gross revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The payments, benefits and other entitlements hereunder are being made in part in consideration of the obligations of this Section 11 and in particular the post-employment payments, benefits and other entitlements are being made in consideration of, and dependent upon, compliance with this Section 11(a).
(b)    Anything in Section 11(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, no forfeiture shall take place with respect to any payments, benefits or entitlements hereunder or under any other award agreement, plan or practice (i) in the event there is a Constructive Termination Without Cause, or (ii) in all other circumstances, unless the Company shall have first given the Executive written notice of its intent to so forfeit or cancel any such payments, benefits or entitlements, and Executive has not, within 30 calendar days of his receipt of such notice, ceased such unpermitted Competitive Activity.
(c)    Nothing in this Section 11 shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of less than five percent of the outstanding common stock, capital stock and equity of any firm, corporation or enterprise so long as the Executive has no active participation in the management of business of such firm, corporation or enterprise.

10

(d)    If the restrictions stated herein are found by a court to be unreasonable, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.

24.    CODE SECTION 409A.
(a)    The Parties agree that this Agreement and the rights granted to the Executive hereunder are intended to meet the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code (the “409A Requirements”).  Accordingly, the Parties agree that during the period ending on December 31, 2013 (or such later date as set forth by the Internal Revenue Service for good faith compliance with guidance relating to Section 409A of the Code), the Parties agree that they shall negotiate in good faith to revise any provisions of this Agreement that might otherwise fail to meet the requirements of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of Section 409A of Code; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 24 shall be deemed to require the Company to incur any material compensation expense in excess of that which would be incurred by it in the absence of this Section 24.

Accordingly, (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during the Executive’s taxable year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year (except as permitted with respect to medical reimbursement arrangements); (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s 

13

taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit shall not be subject to exchange for another benefit.
(c)    Meaning of “Termination” or “Separation From Service.”  If and to the extent termination of employment, or Separation From Service is required to trigger payment rights hereunder, such phrases shall have the meanings given in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h) as reasonably interpreted by the Company. 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date written above.

EXHIBIT 10.15

SEVERANCE AND EXECUTIVE CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT
    
THIS SEVERANCE AND EXECUTIVE CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of February 19, 2013 (the "Effective Date"), by and between Mattson Technology, Inc., (the "Company"), and Fusen E. Chen (the "Executive").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company desires to create a greater incentive for the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, particularly in the event of any possible change or threatened change of control of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to memorialize their agreement with respect thereto in the manner set forth herein, 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive's future services to the Company and the mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1.Termination by Company Without Cause.  If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for "Good Cause" as defined in Section 8 herein, and such termination is not within a "Change of Control Period" as defined in Section 8 herein, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:  
(a)Final Paycheck.  Payment, in a lump sum, of any and all base salary due and owing through the date of termination, plus an amount equal to all earned but unused PTO hours through the date of termination and reimbursement for all reasonable expenses, less any deductions required by applicable law; and
(b)Severance Payment.  A cash payment in an amount equal to the Executive's then-current annual base salary; and
(c)Medical and Dental Benefits.  For a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the first day of the calendar month beginning after the date of termination of employment, provided that Executive completes and returns the appropriate enrollment forms to the respective provider in a timely manner, the Company shall reimburse Executive for the cost of Executive's and his or her dependent's (to the extent such dependents were covered under the Company's group plans) medical and dental benefit coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") to the same extent provided for by the Company's group plans at the time of termination.  In the event Executive becomes covered under another employer's group health plan that provides Executive and his or her dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage during this 12-month period, Executive shall notify Company and Company's obligation to reimburse Executive for continued medical and dental benefits coverage shall end.  The period of such Company-reimbursed COBRA coverage shall be considered part of Executive's COBRA coverage entitlement period, and may, for tax purposes, be considered income to Executive.  In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (c), if the Company determines in its sole and reasonable discretion that it cannot reimburse Executive the COBRA premiums without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue his or her (and to the extent applicable, his or her dependents) medical and dental benefit coverage in effect on the date of such termination, which payments will be made regardless of whether the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage. 
2.Termination Following a Change of Control.  If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company for any reason other than for "Good Cause" as defined in Section 8 herein, or (ii) by Executive for "Good Reason" as defined in Section 8 herein, with thirty (30) days written notice to the Company, and either such termination is within the "Change of Control Period" as defined in Section 8 herein, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
(a)Final Paycheck.  Payment, in a lump sum, of any and all base salary due and owing through the date of termination, plus an amount equal to all earned but unused PTO hours through the date of termination and reimbursement for all reasonable expenses, less any deductions required by applicable law; and

1

(b)Severance Payment.  A cash payment in an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of (i) the greater of (A) the Executive's base salary for the twelve (12) months preceding the Change of Control or (B) the Executive's then-current annual base salary, plus (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the Executive's annual target bonus award for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs; and
(c)Accelerated Vesting.  All unvested Awards (as defined in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which shall be referred to as the "Stock Plan") outstanding as of the date of termination of employment shall fully vest in accordance with Award Agreements between the Executive and the Company; and
(d)Medical and Dental Benefits.  For a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the first day of the calendar month beginning after the date of termination of employment, provided that Executive completes and returns the appropriate enrollment forms to the respective provider in a timely manner, the Company shall reimburse Executive for the cost of Executive's and his or her dependent's (to the extent such dependents were covered under the Company's group plans) medical and dental benefit coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") to the same extent provided for by the Company's group plans at the time of termination.  In the event Executive becomes covered under another employer's group health plan that provides Executive and his or her dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage during this 12- month period, Executive shall notify Company and Company's obligation to reimburse Executive for continued medical and dental benefits coverage shall end.  The period of such Company-reimbursed COBRA coverage shall be considered part of Executive's COBRA coverage entitlement period, and may, for tax purposes, be considered income to Executive.  In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (d), if the Company determines in its sole and reasonable discretion that it cannot reimburse Executive the COBRA premiums without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue his or her (and to the extent applicable, his or her dependents) medical and dental benefit coverage in effect on the date of such termination, which payments will be made regardless of whether the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage.
3.Timing of Payments.  
(a)The payments provided for in Sections 1(a) and 2(a) herein, as applicable, shall be payable immediately upon Executive's termination.  
(b)The receipt of any benefits pursuant to Sections 1(b) and (c) and 2(b), (c), and (d) will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a standard release of claims with the Company (in a form acceptable to the Company, the “Release”) and the Release becoming effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date.  The benefits provided for in Sections 1(b) and (c) and 2(b), (c), and (d) herein, as applicable, shall be made within ten (10) days of the date that the Release is effective and irrevocable, subject to the provisions of Section 7.  All such payments will be subject to applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld by the Company.  Benefits provided for in Section 2(c) shall be made in accordance with the Stock Plan, subject to any delay required by Section 7. 
4.Subsequent Employment.  The compensation and benefits payable hereunder, with the exception of those benefits provided for under Sections 1(c) and 2(d), shall not be reduced or offset by any amounts that the Executive earns or could earn from any subsequent employment. 
5.Section 280G Matters.  If the benefits described in Sections 1 and 2 herein, as applicable, (the "Severance Payment") would otherwise constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and but for this Section would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), Executive shall either: (i) pay the Excise Tax, or (ii) have the benefits reduced to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.  Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by a national "Big Four" accounting firm selected by the Company or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the "Accountants"), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes.  For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section.  The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.  Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required by this Section 5 shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) reduction of vesting acceleration of equity awards; and (3) reduction of 

2

other benefits paid to Executive.  In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for Executive's equity awards.
6.Employment Status.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a contract for employment for any specific period of time.  The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the Executive's employment with the Company shall continue to be "at will."
7.Section 409A.  
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined below) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service”.
(b)Any severance or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's separation from service, or if later, such time as required by Section 7(c).  Any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive's separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's separation from service and the remaining payments will be made as provided in this Agreement.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A") at the time of Executive's termination (other than due to death) or resignation, then the severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the "Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits") that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive's separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive's separation from service.  All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following his separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(d)Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (c) above.
(e)Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (c) above.  "Section 409A Limit" will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive's annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive's taxable year preceding the Executive's taxable year of Executive's termination of employment as determined under, and with such adjustments as are set forth in, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive's employment is terminated.
(f)The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.
8.Definitions.
(a)Good Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Cause" means: (i) performance of any act or failure to perform any act in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company, (ii) dishonesty, material breach of any agreement with the Company, or intentional misconduct, or (iii) commission of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person.

3

(b)Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means any of the following, without Executive's written consent:  (i) a significant reduction  by the Company in Executive's annual base salary; (ii) the failure of the Company to obtain an agreement from any successor to the Company, or purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, to assume this Agreement; (iii) the assignment of Executive to duties which reflect a material adverse change in authority, responsibility or status with the Company or any successor; or (iv) the Company requiring Executive to reside or be based at a location 50 miles or more from the location where Executive was based immediately prior to the Change of Control. 

Executive will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company with (x) written notice within sixty (60) days of the event that Executive believes constitutes "Good Reason" specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason and (y) a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days following the date of such notice.
(c)“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)a change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group ("Person"), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control; or 
(ii)a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.  For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or
(iii)a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company's stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company's stock, (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (iii)(B)(3). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company's incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities immediately before such transaction.
(d)Change of Control Period.  "Change of Control Period" means the period commencing on the Company's public announcement of a proposed Change of Control and ending on the earlier of (A) the twelve (12) month period following the consummation of the proposed Change of Control, or (B) the Company's public announcement that the proposed Change of Control will not occur.
9.Termination.  This Agreement will have an initial term of two (2) years commencing on the Effective Date.  On the second anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one (1) year terms, unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of automatic renewal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, upon commencement of the Change of Control 

4

Period, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Change of Control.  If Executive becomes entitled to benefits under Section 2 during the term of this Agreement, the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.
10.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Company's Stock Plan, stock option agreements, restricted stock units agreements and/or stock repurchase agreements, contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties concerning such subject matter.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Executive and the Chairman of the Board of the Company.  Failure of either party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any rights with respect thereto or failure to exercise any election provided for herein shall in no way be considered to be a waiver of such provisions, rights or elections or in any way effect the validity of this Agreement.  The failure of either party to exercise any of said provisions, rights or elections shall not preclude or prejudice such party from later enforcing or exercising the same or other provisions, rights or elections which it may have under this Agreement.
(b)Successors and Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs, devisees and personal representatives of the parties, including any successor to the Company by merger or combination and any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  In the event that the Executive dies before receipt of all benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, the payment of such benefits will be made, on the due date or dates hereunder had the Executive survived, to the executors or administrators of the Executive's estate.
(c)Governing Law.  This Agreement is made in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of, the State of California.
(d)Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this 
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
