    SEPARATION
      AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

    (Matthew
      Rowley)

    

    This
      Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
      between Matthew Rowley (“Employee”) and Onvia, Inc. (the
“Company”).

    

    Both
      parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions of Employee’s departure from
      his employment with the Company. The parties agree as follows:

    

    1.
      Separation
      Date.
      Employee’s employment with the Company is ending effective May
      31, 2007
      (the
“Separation Date”). Employee will be paid his salary through the Separation
      Date, less all required or agreed upon withholding. Employee will not be
      entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits from the Company except
      as described in the balance of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that
      following the Separation Date, Employee will have no authority to bind the
      Company to any contract or agreement, or to act on behalf of the Company or
      any
      of its affiliates, and the Company will not have any obligation to reimburse
      Employee for any expenses incurred by Employee on or after the Separation
      Date.

    

    2.
      Severance
      Payment. 
      The Company will pay Employee a total sum of Eighty
      Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000.00) as
      a
      severance payment (“Severance Payment”).  The Severance Payment will be
      subject to all lawful or required deductions and will be paid as salary
      continuation through November 30, 2007, following the same direct deposit
      instructions authorized by Employee for payroll purposes.  Employee and the
      Company agree that the Severance Payment represents sufficient consideration
      for
      the potential claims being released.

    

    3.
      Accrued
      Paid Time Off.
      Employee
      will be paid for all accrued but unused paid time off (PTO) as of the Separation
      Date, less all lawful and required deductions. PTO will cease to accrue after
      the Separation Date.

    

    4.
      Stock
      Options Vesting and Acceleration. As
      of the
      Separation Date, Employee has Seventy
      Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Two (70,822)
      fully
      vested and exercisable stock options granted under the Onvia, Inc. Amended
      and
      Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). Further, Six
      Thousand (6,000)
      additional stock options will be accelerated pursuant to Employee’s Employment
      and Noncompetition Agreement dated as of September 24, 2001, so that such
      options will be fully vested and exercisable as of the Separation Date,
      contingent on Employee’s execution of this Agreement and the expiration of the
      revocation period. Employee acknowledges that accelerated stock options will
      not
      qualify for preferential income tax treatment as an incentive stock option
      under
      the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the terms of the 1999 Plan relating
      to
      termination of employment, Employee will have three (3) months from the
      Separation Date (until August 31, 2007) to exercise each stock option to the
      extent such stock option is or becomes vested as of the Separation Date,
      provided, however that no stock option will remain exercisable beyond its
      maximum stated term. Nonvested stock options will be forfeited upon the
      Separation Date.

     

    5.
      Retirement
      Plans.
      Employee
      will continue to be eligible as an “employee” of the Company through the
      Separation Date for employer contributions made to the Company’s 401(k) Plan,
      according to the terms of that plan. Severance payments payable under this
      Agreement are not included for the purpose of calculating contributions made
      on
      Employee’s behalf to the Company’s 401(k) Plan. In addition, Employee will be
      entitled to receive all accrued and vested benefits from the 401(k) Plan,
      according to the terms of that plan. Nonvested benefits will be forfeited upon
      the Separation Date. 

    

    6.
      Medical
      Benefits/COBRA Coverage.
      The
      Company will continue to provide coverage under any group medical benefits
      plan
      under which Employee and Employee’s dependents were covered on the date of this
      Agreement, through and including the Separation Date.  Employee will be
      responsible to pay any amounts chargeable as “employee premium contribution”
amounts with respect to any such coverage.  Employee and Employee’s covered
      dependents may be eligible to elect a temporary extension of group health plan
      coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985,
      as
      subsequently amended (“COBRA”).  In
      the
      event that Employee elects to extend his group health plan coverage, the
      Employee will be solely responsible for costs associated with such continuation
      coverage for Employee and Employee’s covered dependents. The
      Company will pay Employee a total sum of Six
      Thousand Two Hundred Thirteen Dollars and Forty Eighty Cents
      ($6,213.48),
      which
      Employee may use to pay for such continuation coverage costs. From
      and
      after the Separation Date, the Company will have no responsibility to provide
      medical benefits coverage to Employee.

    

    7.
      Release of Claims. In
      exchange for the Severance Payment and other benefits under this Agreement,
      which are in addition to the benefits that Employee is otherwise entitled to
      receive, Employee and Employee’s successors and assigns forever release and
      discharge the Company and its affiliated companies, and the employees, agents,
      officers, directors and shareholders of any of them, from all claims, demands,
      actions or causes of action, rights or damages, including costs and attorneys’
fees, (collectively,

    8.

      understands and acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute an
      admission by the Company of any wrongdoing or liability. 

    

    9.

    9.1.
      Non-Disclosure.
      Employee acknowledges that by virtue of his employment with the Company,
      Employee has access to and acquired knowledge of trade secrets and information
      relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates that are not
      generally known outside of the Company (“Confidential Information”). At all
      times during and after employment, Employee agrees to hold the Confidential

      of the Company.

    9.3.
      Injunctive
      Relief.
      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to obtain an
      injunction to restrain Employee from disclosing Confidential Information and

    10.
      Non-Compete/Non-Solicitation
      and Other Obligations.

      Information and Inventions Agreement, the Onvia Nondisclosure Agreement, and
      any
      other documents and agreements that the Employee signed during his employment
      with Onvia and with which Employee is familiar. Such agreements remain in full
      force and effect, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to supersede those
      agreements.

    

    11. 
      Arbitration.

     

    11.1.
      Notice
      and Selection of Arbitrator. 
      The parties agree that, with the exception of injunctive and other relief that
      the Company may seek to enforce Employee’s confidentiality obligations under of
      this Agreement, any dispute arising under this Agreement must be submitted
      to
      arbitration in King County, Washington before a disinterested arbitrator. 
Arbitration will be commenced by service on the other party to the dispute
      of a
      written request for arbitration, containing a brief description of the matter
      at
      issue and the names and addresses of three arbitrators acceptable to the
      petitioner.  Within thirty (30) days after receiving the request, the other
      party must either select one of the proposed arbitrators or provide the names
      and addresses of three other arbitrators acceptable to the proposing
      party.  If the parties are unable to select an arbitrator from those
      proposed, an arbitrator will be chosen impartially by the American Arbitration
      Association.

    

    11.2.
      Rules
      of Proceeding. 
      Arbitration proceedings will be conducted under the commercial rules then
      prevailing of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator is not
      bound to any formal rules of evidence or procedure, and may consider such
      matters as a reasonable businessperson would take into account in
      decision-making.

     

    11.3.
      Decision
      Final and Binding. 
      The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and
      may
      be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    11.4.
      Expenses. 
      Each party will share equally the expenses of the arbitrator and other
      arbitration expenses.  Attorneys’ fees, witness fees and other expenses
      incurred by a party in preparing for the arbitration are not “arbitration
      expenses” and will be paid by the party incurring them,
      subject to any right to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, which
      shall include arbitration expenses.

    12.
      Non-Disparagement. Employee
      and the Company (including its officers, directors, employees or agents) agree
      not to make any disparaging, derogatory, defamatory or slanderous remarks of
      any
      nature whatsoever at any time about the other.

    

    13.
      No Claims.
      Employee
      represents that he has not filed any Claim that was released in this Agreement
      and that he will not do so at any time in the future; provided, however, that
      this will not limit Employee from filing a Claim to enforce the terms of this
      Agreement. 

    

    14.
      Agreement Confidential. Employee
      will keep the fact and terms of this Agreement completely confidential and

      not disclose the existence of this Agreement or its terms, except as required
      by
      law or court order. Employee may, however, disclose the existence and terms
      of
      this Agreement with Employee’s attorney, accountant, financial advisors, and
      spouse or domestic partner. Any such third persons informed of the terms of
      this
      Agreement will in turn be advised by Employee of this confidentiality provision
      and requested to maintain it.

    

    15.
      Informed
      Agreement. Employee
      has read and fully understands the terms of this Agreement and its significance
      and consequences. Employee acknowledges that the Company has advised him to

      signing, but may sign it in less than 21 days at Employee’s option. Employee
      will have a period of seven days after signing in which to revoke this
      Agreement. This Agreement will not become effective or enforceable until the

      by
      delivering a written notice to Jill Boyle at 1260 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA
      98109 no later than the seventh day after signing this Agreement. 

    

    17.
      Continued
      Cooperation. Although
      no longer employed by the Company, Employee will make himself reasonably
      available upon request to answer questions that may arise from time to time
      regarding matters he handled or was familiar with during his
      employment.

    

    18.
      Entire Agreement.  This

      supersedes and replaces all prior written and oral agreements between the
      parties with respect to its subject matter. The Company has not made any
      promises to Employee other than those included within this
      Agreement. No
      supplement or modification of this Agreement will be valid, unless it is made
      in
      writing and signed by both parties.

      any
      provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid,

      principles.

    Exhibit
      10.11

     

    SEPARATION
      AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

     (Peter
      W. Noble)

     

    This
      Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
      between Peter W. Noble (“Employee”) and Onvia, Inc. (the
“Company”).

     

    Both
      parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions of Employee’s departure from
      Employee’s employment with the Company.  In consideration of the mutual
      promises contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

     

    1. 
      Separation
      Date.  Employee’s
      employment with the Company is ending effective
      May 16, 2007 (the
      “Separation Date”).  Employee will be paid Employee’s salary through the
      Separation Date, less all required or agreed upon withholding.  Employee
      will not be entitled to receive any further compensation or benefits from the
      Company, except as described in the balance of this Agreement.  Employee
      acknowledges that following the Separation Date, Employee will have no authority
      to bind the Company to any contract or agreement, or to act on behalf of the
      Company or any of its affiliates, and the Company will not have any obligation
      to reimburse Employee for any expenses incurred by Employee on or after the
      Separation Date.

    

    2.
      Severance Payment. 
      The Company will pay Employee a total sum of ONE
      HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000.00) as
      a
      severance payment (“Severance Payment”).  The Severance Payment will be
      subject to all lawful or required deductions and will be paid in a lump sum,
      following the same direct deposit instructions authorized by Employee for
      payroll purposes, if applicable.  Employee and the Company agree that the
      Severance Payment represents sufficient consideration for the potential claims
      being released.

    

    3. 
      Accrued
      Paid Time Off. 
      Employee will be paid for any earned but unused paid time off (approximately
      176
      hours), less all lawful and required deductions.

     

    4. 
      Stock Options. 
As
      of the Separation Date, Employee has 73,334
      fully
      vested and exercisable stock options granted under the Onvia, Inc. Amended
      and
      Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). Employee acknowledges that as
      a consequence of Employee’s termination as an Onvia employee on the Separation
      Date, and pursuant to the terms of each stock option that has been granted
      to
      Employee under the 1999 Plan, Employee will have three (3) months from the
      Separation Date (until August 16, 2007) to exercise each stock option to the
      extent each stock option was vested on the Separation Date. Nonvested stock
      options will be forfeited upon the Separation Date.

     

    5. 
      The
      Company’s 401(k) Plan. 
      Employee will continue to be eligible as an “employee” of the Company through
      the Separation Date for employer contributions made to the Company’s 401(k)
      Plan, according to the terms of the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Severance payments
      payable under this Agreement are not included for the purpose of calculating
      401(k) contributions made on Employee’s behalf.  In addition, Employee will
      be entitled to receive all accrued and vested benefits from the 401(k) Plan,
      according to the terms of that plan.  Nonvested benefits will be forfeited
      upon the Separation Date. 

     

    6. Medical
      Benefits/COBRA Coverage.
      The
      Company will continue to provide coverage under any group medical benefits
      plan
      under which Employee and Employee’s dependents were covered on the date of this
      Agreement, through and including the Separation Date.  Employee will be
      responsible to pay any amounts chargeable as “employee premium contribution”
amounts with respect to any such coverage.  Employee and Employee’s covered
      dependents may be eligible to elect a temporary extension of group health plan
      coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985,
      as
      subsequently amended (“COBRA”).  In
      the
      event that Employee elects to extend his group health plan coverage, the
      Employee will be solely responsible for costs associated with such continuation
      coverage for Employee and Employee’s covered. The
      Company will pay Employee a total sum of TWO
      THOUSAND SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS AND SEVENTY SIX CENTS ($2,075.76),
      which Employee may use to pay for such continuation coverage costs. From
      and
      after the Separation Date, the Company will have no responsibility to provide
      medical benefits coverage to Employee.

     

    7. 
      Release of Claims.  In
      consideration of the Severance Payment and other benefits under this Agreement,
      which are in addition to the benefits that Employee is otherwise entitled to
      receive, Employee and Employee’s successors and assigns forever release and
      discharge the Company and its affiliated companies, and the employees, agents,
      officers, directors and shareholders of any of them, from all claims, demands,
      actions or causes of action, rights or damages, including costs and attorneys’
fees (collectively, “Claims”), which Employee may have on Employee’s behalf,
      known, unknown, or later discovered which arose prior to the date Employee

      or regulations prohibiting employment discrimination; Claims under any federal,

      Employee Retirement Income Security Act; and Claims alleging any legal
      restriction on the Company’s right to separate from employment its
      employees. 
      This shall not apply to any claims by or rights of employee (a) for compensation
      for vested benefits arising under any Company employee benefit plan, in
      accordance with the terms of such plans;(b) arising under any company insurance
      plan or policy;(c) with respect to any obligation of the Company under this
      Agreement;(d) for indemnification or defense, including attorney’s fees and
      cost, by the Company, to the extent such rights may arise under law, or be
      provided under  the Company’s Articles, Bylaws or otherwise, with respect
      to Employee’s acts or omissions while employed by the Company.

      familiar. Such agreement(s) remain in full force and effect, and nothing in
      this
      Agreement is intended to supersede those agreements(s).

    

    10. 
      Arbitration.

     

    10.1.
      Notice
      and Selection of Arbitrator. 
      The parties agree that, with the exception of injunctive and other relief that
      the Company may seek to enforce Employee’s confidentiality obligations under of
      this Agreement, any dispute arising under this Agreement must be submitted
      to
      arbitration in either King County, Washington, the county and state for the
      Company’s facility to which Employee was last assigned, or other mutually agreed
      upon venue, before a disinterested arbitrator.  Arbitration will be
      commenced by service on the other party to the dispute of a written request
      for
      arbitration, containing a brief description of the matter at issue and the
      names
      and addresses of three arbitrators acceptable to the petitioner.  Within
      thirty (30) days after receiving the request, the other party must either select
      one of the proposed arbitrators or provide the names and addresses of three
      other arbitrators acceptable to the proposing party.  If the parties are
      unable to select an arbitrator from those proposed, an arbitrator will be chosen
      impartially by the American Arbitration Association.

    

    10.2.
      Rules
      of Proceeding. 
      Arbitration proceedings will be conducted under the commercial rules then
      prevailing of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator is not
      bound to any formal rules of evidence or procedure, and may consider such
      matters as a reasonable businessperson would take into account in
      decision-making.

     

    10.3.
      Decision
      Final and Binding. 
      The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and
      may
      be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    10.4.
      Expenses. 
      Each party will share equally the expenses of the arbitrator and other
      arbitration expenses.  Attorney fees, witness fees and other expenses
      incurred by a party in preparing for the arbitration are not “arbitration
      expenses” and will be paid by the party incurring them,
      subject to any right to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, which
      shall include arbitration expenses.

      will keep the fact and terms of this Agreement completely confidential and

      by
      law or court order.  Employee may, however, disclose the existence and
      terms of this Agreement with Employee’s attorney, accountant, financial
      advisors, and spouse or domestic partner.  Any such third persons informed

      confidentiality provision and requested to maintain it.

    

    14. 
      Informed Agreement.  Employee
      has read and fully understands the terms of this Agreement and its significance
      and consequences.   Employee acknowledges that the Company has advised
      Employee to review the terms of this Agreement with an attorney and that

      Agreement prior to signing, but may sign it in less than 21 days at Employee’s
      option (“Review Period”).  Employee will have a period of seven (7) days
      after signing in which to revoke this Agreement.  This Agreement will not
      become effective or enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has
      expired.  Employee may revoke this Agreement by delivering a written notice
      to Jill Boyle at Onvia,
      Inc., 1260 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA 98109 no later than the seventh day after
      signing this Agreement. 

     

    16. 
      Entire Agreement.  This
      Agreement is the entire agreement between Employee and the Company, and it
      supersedes and replaces all prior written and oral agreements between the
      parties with respect to its subject matter.  The Company has not made any
      promises to Employee other than those included within this
      Agreement. 
      No
      supplement or modification of this Agreement will be valid, unless it is made
      in
      writing and signed by both parties.

     

    17. 
      Severability. If
      any
      provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid,
      the remainder of this Agreement will nevertheless continue to be enforceable
      and
      valid.

     

    18. 
      Governing Law.  This
