AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is
entered into as of January 3, 2007, by and among Oxford Global Resources, Inc.
(the “Company”), On Assignment, Inc. (“OA”) and Michael J.
McGowan (“Executive”).

RECITALS

A.            Concurrently
with the execution of this Agreement, OA, the Company and certain other parties
will enter into that certain agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of OA (the “Merger”);

B.            In
connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing,” and the
date on which the Closing occurs, the “Effective Date”), the Company and
Executive desire that, immediately as of the Closing, the Company shall employ Executive,
and Executive shall accept such employment, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein; and

C.            This
Agreement will become effective only if the Closing occurs and shall be null
and void and of no force or effect if the Closing does not occur for any
reason.

AGREEMENT

1.             Employment Term.  Subject to the provisions for earlier
termination hereinafter provided, Executive’s employment shall continue for a
term commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2009 (the “Initial
Termination Date”); provided,
that this Agreement shall be automatically extended for one additional year on
the Initial Termination Date and on each subsequent anniversary of the Initial
Termination Date unless either Executive or the Company elects not to so extend
such term by notifying the other party, in accordance with Section 8 below, of
such election not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Initial Termination
Date, or any anniversary thereof, as applicable (in any case, the “Employment
Period”).

2.             Position and Duties.

(a)           Position.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
serve as President of the Company and shall perform such employment duties as
are usual and customary for such position. 
Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of OA (currently
Peter Dameris).  OA shall retain full
direction and control of the means and methods by which Executive performs the
above services.  At OA’s reasonable
request, Executive shall serve OA, the Company and/or their Affiliates in such
other offices and capacities in addition to the foregoing as the Company shall
designate, consistent with Executive’s position, without additional
compensation beyond that specified in this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate”
shall mean each entity in any chain of parent entities or subsidiary entities
with either of OA or the Company, as well as each majority-owned entity of any
such parent entity or subsidiary entity, and their respective successors.

(b)           Place
of Employment.  During the Employment
Period, Executive shall perform the services required by this Agreement at the
Company’s principal offices in Beverly, MA, unless otherwise mutually agreed
upon by the parties.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive may from time to time be required to travel temporarily to
other locations on the Company’s or its Affiliates’ business, as may be
reasonably requested.

(c)           Right
to Attend Board Meetings.  Executive
shall be entitled, during the Employment Period, to attend in-person meetings
of the Board of Directors of OA (the “Board”), attend telephonic Board
meetings and receive Board packages, in each case, to the same extent as other
Company Division Presidents, provided,
that nothing herein shall or shall be construed so as to entitle Executive to
be elected to serve on the Board or to participate (beyond being present in
person or telephonically, as applicable) in any such meeting.

(d)           Exclusivity.  During the Employment Period, except for such
other activities as the Board’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”)
shall approve in writing in its sole discretion, Executive shall devote his
entire business time, attention and energies to the business and affairs of the
Company and its Affiliates, to the performance of Executive’s duties under this
Agreement and to the promotion of the Company’s interests, and shall not (i)
accept any other employment, directorship or consultancy, or (ii) engage,
directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued
for pecuniary advantage) that is or may be competitive with, or that might
place Executive in a competing position to, that of the Company or its
Affiliates.

3.             Compensation.

(a)           Base
Salary.  During the Employment
Period, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”),
(i) initially set at $320,000 per year, and (ii) beginning in calendar year
2008, at no less than $345,000 per year, subject thereafter to annual review
and increase (but not decrease) in the sole discretion of the Committee and
payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures applicable
to similarly situated executives of the Company, as in effect from time to
time.

(b)           Annual
Bonus.  In addition to the Base
Salary, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus in respect of each
calendar year during the Employment Period beginning in calendar year 2007, as
described below (each, an “Annual Bonus”), subject in each case to
Executive’s continued employment through the date on which annual bonuses are
paid generally to the Company’s senior executives or, if earlier, March 30th of
the year immediately following that in which such Annual Bonus is earned (if
March 30th precedes the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the
Company’s senior executives for any year, then the Annual Bonus for such year
shall, to the extent payable, be paid to Executive as soon as practicable after
such March 30th).  In respect of calendar
year 2007, Executive shall be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus of up to
$320,000, determined as follows: (i) if, during 2007, the Company attains
earnings before income, tax, depreciation and amortization as reported on its
consolidated financial statements for such period (“EBITDA”) of no less than
$21,681,000 (“2007 Target EBITDA”), the 2007 Annual Bonus shall equal no
less than $160,000, and (ii) for each dollar by which the Company’s 2007 EBITDA
exceeds 2007 Target EBITDA (up to actual EBITDA of $28,300,000), the 2007
Annual Bonus shall be increased by no less than 

 2
 

$.02417284, up to an additional Annual Bonus  amount of $160,000 (for a total 2007 Annual
Bonus of up to $320,000), provided,
that if the Company does not attain 2007 Target EBITDA, an Annual Bonus shall
only become payable to Executive in respect of calendar year 2007 if the Committee,
in its sole discretion, so determines. 
In respect of calendar years during the Employment Period beginning
after 2007, any Annual Bonus shall be determined by reference to the attainment
of objective performance criteria, which criteria shall be determined by the
Committee within sixty days after the start of the applicable calendar
year.  The potential amount of each such
subsequent Annual Bonus shall range from 0 — 100% of the then-applicable Base
Salary, with payouts structured substantially similar to the 2007 Annual Bonus
payouts (e.g., cliff payout of
50% of Base Salary upon attainment of target(s) and then incremental payout to
100% of Base Salary for above-target performance; for the avoidance of doubt,
the performance criteria and targets applicable to such subsequent Annual
Bonuses may vary from those applicable to the 2007 Annual Bonus).

(c)           Additional
Synergy Incentive Bonus.  In addition
to the Base Salary and any Annual Bonuses, during each of the first two years
of the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to earn an additional
synergy incentive bonus of up to $100,000 per year (the “Synergy Bonus”)
in respect of certain synergy savings relating to the post-Merger integration
of OA and the Company, as follows: (i) the Synergy Bonus shall become payable
as to $20,000 on each quarterly anniversary of the Effective Date during the
first two years of the Employment Period, subject to Executive’s continued
employment through each such quarterly anniversary (“Component A”), and
(ii) if, during the first two years of the Employment Period, the Company
attains synergy performance objectives established by the Committee, the
Synergy Bonus may become payable with respect to up to an additional $20,000
for each such year (“Component B”), at such time or times as the
Committee shall determine, subject to Executive’s continued employment through
date on which the Committee determines that Component B has been attained,
which shall be the payment date of such Component B.  Determinations as to whether and when
Component B performance objectives have been attained shall be made in the sole
discretion of the Committee.  No Synergy
Bonus shall become payable with respect to employment beyond the second anniversary
of the Effective Date.

(d)           Stock
Option.  Subject to approval by the
Committee, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, OA shall grant
to Executive a nonqualified option to purchase one hundred twenty thousand
(120,000) shares of OA common stock (the “Option”).  The Option shall be granted to Executive at
an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share
of OA common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Committee.  Subject to Executive’s continued employment
with the Company through each such date, the Option shall vest and become
exercisable with respect to seven thousand, five hundred (7,500) of the shares
subject thereto on each quarterly anniversary of the date of grant of the
Option (the “Option Grant Date”), such that the Option shall be vested
and exercisable with respect to all shares subject thereto (subject to
Executive’s continued employment) on the fourth anniversary of the Option Grant
Date.  Consistent with the foregoing, the
terms and conditions of the Option, including the applicable vesting
conditions, shall be set forth in an Option grant agreement to be entered into
by OA and Executive in a form prescribed by OA which shall evidence the grant
of the Option (the “Option Agreement”). 
The Option shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 3(d), be
governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable Option Agreement.  If the Committee fails to approve such Option
within ninety (90) days after the 

 3
 

Effective Date, this Agreement shall be null and void.  Subject to approval by the Committee,
Executive shall be eligible during subsequent years of the Employment Period to
receive additional grants of options to purchase OA common stock.

(e)           Restricted
Stock Units.  Subject to approval by
the Committee, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, OA shall
grant to Executive sixty thousand (60,000) restricted stock units (the “RSUs”)
under the OA Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated April 7,
2006 (the “Equity Plan”).  The RSU
grant shall vest as to three thousand, seven hundred and fifty (3,750) RSUs on
each quarterly anniversary of the date of grant of the RSUs (the “RSU Grant
Date”), subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company
through each such vesting date, such that all of the RSUs shall be vested
(subject to Executive’s continued employment) on the fourth anniversary of the
RSU Grant Date.  Consistent with the
foregoing, the terms and conditions of the RSUs shall be set forth in a RSU
grant agreement to be entered into by OA and Executive in a form prescribed by
OA which shall evidence the grant of the RSUs (the “RSU  Agreement”).  The RSUs shall, subject to the provisions of
this Section 3(e), be governed in all respects by the terms of the Equity Plan
and the applicable RSU Agreement.  If the
Committee fails to approve such RSUs within ninety (90) days after the
Effective Date, this Agreement shall be null and void.  Subject to approval by the Committee,
Executive shall be eligible during subsequent years of the Employment Period to
receive additional grants of RSUs.

(f)            Benefit
Plans.  During the Employment Period,
Executive and Executive’s legal dependents shall be eligible to participate in
the welfare benefit plans, policies and programs (including, if applicable,
medical, dental, disability, life and accidental death insurance plans and
programs) maintained by the Company for its senior executives.  In addition, Executive shall be eligible to
participate in such incentive, savings and retirement plans, policies and
programs as are made available to similarly situated executives of the Company,
provided, that the Company shall
have no obligation, in any case, to adopt, maintain or continue any such plans,
policies or programs.

(g)           Additional
Perquisites.  In addition to the compensation
and benefits described above in this Section 3, during the Employment Period,
the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for actual, properly substantiated
expenses incurred by Executive in connection with (i) the lease or purchase of
an automobile, not to exceed $500 per month; (ii) an annual physical
examination, not to exceed $1,500 per calendar year; and (iii) tax preparation
and financial planning, not to exceed $2,500 per calendar year.  On all international and all transcontinental
North American airplane flights, Executive shall be entitled to fly business
class or, if any flight offers only two classes of service, first class.

(h)           Vacation.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per calendar year, pro rated for any
service by Executive during any partial calendar year, provided, that Executive shall not accrue
any vacation time in excess of four weeks (for the avoidance of doubt, vacation
shall stop accruing at four weeks and accrual shall not re-commence until
accrued vacation falls below four weeks, but up to four weeks of accrued
vacation may be carried forward to any succeeding calendar year).

(i)            Expenses.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to 

 4
 

receive prompt reimbursement of all reasonable business
expenses incurred by Executive in accordance with the Company expense
reimbursement policy applicable to senior executives of the Company, as in
effect from time to time, provided that Executive properly substantiates such
expenses in accordance with such policy.

(j)            Insurance
and Indemnification. For the period from the Effective Date through at
least the tenth anniversary of the Date of Termination, the Company shall
maintain Executive as an insured party on all directors’ and officers’
insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and
officers on at least the same basis as all other covered individuals and
provide Executive with at least the same corporate indemnification as it
provides to its similarly situated executives.

4.             Termination of Employment.

Either the Company or Executive may terminate
Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or no reason.  The following provisions shall control any
such termination of Executive’s employment.

(a)           Termination
by the Company Without Cause.  The
Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below)
at any time during the Employment Period upon written notice to Executive
provided in accordance with Section 8 below (for purposes of this Section 4(a),
the date specified in any such notice provided in accordance with this Section
4(a) shall constitute the “Date of Termination”).  If Executive’s employment is terminated as
provided in this Section 4(a), the Company shall, upon the Date of Termination,
or in the case of obligations described in clause (iv) below, as such
obligations become due to Executive, pay or provide to Executive, (i) Executive’s
earned but unpaid Base Salary accrued through such Date of Termination, (ii)
accrued but unpaid vacation time through such Date of Termination, (iii)
reimbursement of any business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the Date
of Termination that are reimbursable under Sections 3(g) or 3(i) above, and
(iv) any vested benefits and other amounts due to Executive under any plan,
program or policy of the Company (together, all of these benefits shall be
referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).  In addition, subject to Sections 4(g) and
4(i) below, Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a binding Release (as
defined below) in accordance with Section 4(h) below and Executive’s continued
compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below), Executive
shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits from the Company
(together, all of these benefits shall be referred to as the “Severance”):

(1)                                  continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in
effect as of the Date of Termination for a period of twelve (12) months
following the Date of Termination, in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll procedures applicable to senior executives of the Company, as in effect
from time to time;

(2)                                  continuation of healthcare coverage for Executive and his
legal dependents for a period of twelve months from the Date of Termination, to
the extent each such 

 5
 

individual
received healthcare coverage provided by the Company immediately prior to such
termination of employment, at the same cost to Executive as such coverage cost
immediately prior to such termination (subject to premium increases affecting
participants in such plan(s) generally), provided that Executive properly
elects continuation healthcare coverage under applicable law and as may be
required by the terms of any applicable benefit plan; following such twelve-month
continuation period, any further continuation of such coverage under applicable
law shall be at Executive’s sole expense; and

(3)                                  a pro-rated portion of Component A of the Synergy Bonus that
would otherwise become payable in respect of the quarter in which the Date of
Termination occurs (if any), had Executive remained employed by the Company
through the last day of such quarter, determined by multiplying $20,000 by a
fraction, the numerator of which equals number of days elapsed in such quarter
through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which equals 91.25.

(b)           Death;
Disability.  If Executive dies during
the Employment Period or Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s
Disability (as defined in Section 2.14 of the Equity Plan), Executive or
Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive the Accrued
Obligations upon the Date of Termination, or, in the case of benefits described
in Section 4(a)(iv), as such obligations become due to Executive.  In addition, subject to Sections 4(g) and
4(i) below, Executive’s (or Executive’s estate’s) execution and non-revocation
of a binding Release in accordance with Section 4(h) below and Executive’s
continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (upon a Disability
termination), Executive (or Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive
the Severance (as defined above).  For
purposes of this Section 4(b), “Date of Termination” shall mean the date
of Executive’s death or the date on which the Committee notifies Executive, in
accordance with Section 8 below, that Executive’s employment has terminated due
to Executive’s Disability, as applicable.

(c)           Change
In Reporting Relationship; Relocation. 
If, during the Employment Period, the Company changes the terms of
Executive’s employment such that (i) Executive is required to report directly
to any person that is subordinate to OA’s Chief Executive Officer, or (ii)
Executive’s principal work location is relocated more than fifty (50) miles
from Beverly Massachusetts, upon Executive’s written notification to the
Company in accordance with Section 8 below of either such change and the
Company’s failure, within ten days of the Company’s receipt of such notice to
remedy such change, Executive may terminate his employment due to such
change.  If Executive terminates
Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section 4(c), Executive shall be
entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations upon the Date of Termination or, in
the case of benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such obligations become
due to 

 6
 

Executive.  In
addition, subject to Sections 4(g) and 4(i) below, Executive’s execution and
non-revocation of a binding Release in accordance with Section 4(h) below and
Executive’s continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement, Executive
shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Severance benefits described
in each of Section 4(a)(1) and Section 4(a)(2) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall
not be entitled to receive any other component of the Severance (as defined
above) upon a termination in accordance with this Section 4(c).  For purposes of this Section 4(c), “Date
of Termination” shall mean the tenth day after the Company fails to remedy
any change described in Section 4(c)(i) or (ii).

(d)           Voluntary
Termination.  Executive may
voluntarily terminate Executive’s employment (for any reason other than that
described in Section 4(c) above) upon ninety (90) days’ notice to OA provided
in accordance with Section 8 below, subject to the Company’s right to waive any
or all of such notice period.  If
Executive so terminates Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to
receive the Accrued Obligations upon the Date of Termination or, in the case of
benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such obligations become due to
Executive.  If the Company elects to
waive all or any portion of the notice period provided for in this Section
4(d), Executive shall, subject to Sections 4(g) and 4(i) below, Executive’s
execution and non-revocation of a binding Release in accordance with Section
4(h) below and Executive’s continued compliance with the Confidentiality
Agreement, be entitled to payment of the Base Salary that would otherwise
become payable in respect of such waived period absent the Company’s waiver,
but shall, for all other purposes, be treated as having terminated employment
prior to such waived notice period.  For
purposes of this Section 4(d), “Date of Termination” shall mean the date
properly specified in the notice required by this Section 4(d) or such earlier
date as the Company may determine.

(e)           Cause.  If Executive’s employment becomes terminable
by the Company for Cause (as defined below), then the Company shall provide
Executive with written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of
such Cause and, to the extent capable of cure, Executive shall have a period of
fifteen (15) days to cure such Cause (or such longer period as may be permitted
under the definition of Cause below).  If
Executive has not cured such Cause within fifteen (15) days of the Company’s
provision of such notice (to the extent capable of cure), then the Company may
terminate Executive’s employment immediately and Executive shall be entitled to
receive the Accrued Obligations upon the Date of Termination or, in the case of
benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such obligations become due to
Executive.  For purposes of this Section
4(e), “Date of Termination” shall mean the date on which the Company
provides Executive notice in accordance with this Section 4(e), or such later
date as an applicable cure period expires.

(f)            Non-Renewal
of Employment Period.  If the Company
elects not to renew the Employment Period (or any extension thereof), Executive
shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations upon the Date of
Termination or, in the case of benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such
obligations become due to Executive.   In
addition, subject to Sections 4(g) and 4(i) below, Executive’s execution and
non-revocation of a binding Release in accordance with Section 4(h) below and
Executive’s continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined
below), Executive shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Severance
benefits described in each of Section 4(a)(1) and Section 4(a)(2) above for a 

 7
 

period of six (6) months (instead of twelve (12)
months).  For the avoidance of doubt,
Executive shall not be entitled to receive any other component of the Severance
(as defined above) upon a termination in accordance with this Section 4(f).

(g)           Change
in Control Benefits.  During the
Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the On
Assignment, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”) at
the level of “Division President,” as such plan may be amended from time to
time in accordance with its terms.  In
the event that Executive actually receives benefits under the CIC Plan, such
benefits shall be in lieu and full replacement of any benefits to which
Executive would otherwise become entitled under this Section 4 and Executive
shall not be entitled to receive any of the benefits described in this Section
4.

(h)           Release;
Exclusivity of Benefits. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall be
a condition to Executive’s right to receive the Severance (as defined above)
that Executive (or his estate) execute, deliver to the Company and not revoke a
general release of claims in a form prescribed by the Company and attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”). 
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and/or by applicable law,
upon the termination of Executive’s employment, the Company shall have no
obligation to Executive in connection with Executive’s employment with the
Company or the termination thereof.

(i)            Six-Month
Delay.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without
limitation any Severance payments, shall be paid to Executive during the
6-month period following Executive’s “separation from service” (within the
meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”)) if the Committee determines that paying such
amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would cause Executive
to incur additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code.  If the payment of any such amounts is delayed
as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first day following the end
of such 6-month period, the Company shall pay Executive a lump-sum amount equal
to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Executive
during such 6-month period.

(j)            Definition
Of “Cause”.

“Cause”
means Executive’s willful breach of duty unless waived by the Company (which
willful breach is limited to Executive’s deliberate and consistent refusal to
perform Executive’s duties or Executive’s deliberate and consistent refusal to
conform to or follow any reasonable policy adopted by the Company provided
Executive has had prior written notice of such refusal and an opportunity of at
least thirty (30) days to cure such refusal); Executive’s unauthorized use or
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company;
Executive’s breach of an applicable non-competition or non-solicitation
agreement; Executive’s conviction of a felony under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof; or Executive’s gross negligence.

5.             Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation
and Non-Competition Agreement.  Concurrently herewith, Executive agrees to
execute and comply with the terms of the Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and
Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A 

 8
 

(the “Confidentiality Agreement”).  The compensation and benefits provided under
this Agreement, together with compensation and benefits provided under the
Merger Agreement, any Severance obligations arising hereunder and other good
and valuable consideration are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto to
constitute adequate consideration for Executive’s entering into the
Confidentiality Agreement.

6.             Land Trust Agreement Withholding and Indemnification.  The parties hereto acknowledge that, pursuant
to that certain Land Trust Agreement between Oxford Global Resources, Inc. and
Executive, dated June 13, 2001 (the “Land Trust”), in connection with
the Closing, Executive will become entitled to purchase the Property (as
defined in the Land Trust) within five days after the Closing for a purchase
price of $1.  Executive agrees and
acknowledges that, upon such purchase, the fair market value of the Property
(less $1) will constitute ordinary income to Executive, subject to all
applicable income and employment taxes. 
Accordingly, Executive agrees, as a condition to Executive’s right to
purchase the Property pursuant to the Land Trust, to remit to the Company,
concurrently with the consummation of Executive’s purchase of the Property, an
amount in cash or cash equivalents sufficient to satisfy the Company’s
withholding obligations with respect to such ordinary income, as determined in
the sole discretion of the Committee.

7.             Representations.

(a)           No
Violation of Other Agreements.  Executive hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that (i) he is entering into this Agreement voluntarily
and that the performance of his obligations hereunder will not violate any
agreement between him and any other person, firm, organization or other entity,
including without limitation, any agreements with the Company or Barton and
Associates, Inc., or any of the respective Affiliates thereof, and (ii) he is
not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other
party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of
such previous employer or other party that would be violated by his entering
into this Agreement and/or providing services to the Company pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

(b)           No
Disclosure of Confidential Information.   Executive’s performance of his duties under
this Agreement will not require him to, and he shall not, rely on in the
performance of his duties or disclose to the Company or any other person or
entity or induce the Company in any way to use or rely on any trade secret or
other confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any
previous employer of Executive.

8.             Notice.

of the provisions hereof, rather they are included for convenience only and
shall have no force or effect.

(c)           Amendment.  The terms of this Agreement may not be
amended or modified other than by a written instrument executed by the parties
hereto or their respective successors.

(d)           Withholding.  The Company shall withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and/or foreign taxes, as
the Company determines to be legally required pursuant to any applicable laws
or regulations.

(e)           No
Waiver.  Failure by either party
hereto to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or
to assert any right such party may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this
Agreement.

(f)            Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement.

(g)           Construction.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision.  Accordingly, the rule of construction to the
effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.  Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be
construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either
party by the rule of construction abovementioned.

 10
 

(h)           Assignment.  This Agreement is binding on and for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  Neither this Agreement nor any right or
obligation hereunder may be assigned by Executive, except as provided in this
Agreement.

(i)            Entire
Agreement.  As of the Effective Date,
this Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, any applicable
Stock Option Agreement and RSU Agreement and applicable provisions of each of
the CIC Plan and the Equity Plan, constitute the final, complete and exclusive
agreement and understanding between Executive and the Company with respect to
the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any and all other
agreements, offers or promises, whether oral or written, made to Executive by
the Company or any representative thereof.  
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this agreement
expressly supersedes and replaces in its entirety the employment agreement
between Michael J. McGowan, Oxford & Associates, Inc. and Centennial
Associates, Inc. dated May 15, 1997, as such agreement has been amended from
time to time, and all rights and obligations arising under or in connection
with such agreement shall be extinguished upon the Effective Date.

(j)            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

 11
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set his
hand and, pursuant to the authorization from the Committee, the Company has
caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the
day and year first above written.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 1, 2007 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between On Assignment, Inc. (the “Company”) and James
Brill (“Executive”).

AGREEMENT

1.             Employment
Term.  Subject to the
provisions for earlier termination hereinafter provided, Executive’s employment
shall continue for a term commencing on January 1, 2007 and ending on December
31, 2008 (the “Initial Termination Date”); provided, that this Agreement shall be automatically
extended for one additional year on the Initial Termination Date and on each
subsequent anniversary of the Initial Termination Date unless either Executive
or the Company elects not to so extend such term by notifying the other party,
in accordance with Section 7 below, of such election not less than sixty days
prior to the Initial Termination Date, or any anniversary thereof, as
applicable (in any case, the “Employment Period”).

2.             Position and
Duties.

(a)           Position.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and
shall perform such employment duties as are usual and customary for such
position, including without limitation, oversight and management of the Company’s
Finance and Accounting, Risk Management and Investor Relations
departments.  Executive shall report to
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”).  The Company shall retain full direction and
control of the means and methods by which Executive performs the above
services.  At the Company’s request,
Executive shall serve the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates in
such other offices and capacities in addition to the foregoing as the Company
shall designate, consistent with Executive’s position, without additional
compensation beyond that
specified in this Agreement.

(b)           Place of Employment.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
perform the services required by this Agreement at the Company’s principal
offices in Calabasas, California, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the
parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive may from time to time be required to travel temporarily to other
locations on the Company’s business.

(d)           Exclusivity.  During the Employment Period, except for such
other activities as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”)
shall approve in writing in its sole discretion and as otherwise provided in
this Section 2(d), Executive shall devote his entire business time, attention
and energies to the business and affairs of the Company, to the performance of
Executive’s duties under this Agreement and to the promotion of the Company’s
interests, and shall not (i) accept any other employment, directorship or
consultancy, or (ii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business
activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that is or may be
competitive with, or that might place Executive in a competing position to,
that of the Company.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) 

for a period not to exceed ninety days from and after the Effective
Date, Executive may provide the consulting services described on Schedule A
hereto to Diagnostic Products Corporation and the provision of such consulting
services shall not constitute a breach of this Section 2(d), and (ii) provided that such activities do not
interfere with the fulfillment of Executive’s obligations hereunder, Executive
may (A) serve as an officer, director or trustee of any charitable or
non-profit entity; (B) own a passive investment in any private company and own
up to 5% of the outstanding voting securities of any public company; or (C)
with the prior approval of the CEO, serve as a director of up to two other
companies so long as such companies do not compete with the Company and
Executive notifies the CEO in advance of accepting any such position.

3.             Compensation.

(a)           Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Company
shall pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) set at $275,000
per year for calendar year 2007 and subject thereafter to annual review and
increase (but not decrease) in the sole discretion of the Committee.  The Base Salary shall be payable in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures applicable to senior
executives of the Company, as in effect from time to time.

(b)           Annual Bonus.  In addition to the Base Salary, Executive
shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus in respect of each calendar year
during the Employment Period beginning in calendar year 2007, as described below
(each, an “Annual Bonus”), subject in each case to Executive’s continued
employment through the date on which annual bonuses are paid generally to the
Company’s senior executives.  In respect
of calendar year 2007, Executive shall be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus
ranging from $0 - $275,000, determined by reference to the Company’s earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization as reported on its
consolidated financial statements for such period (“EBITDA”).  The EBITDA targets applicable to Executive’s
2007 Annual Bonus shall be consistent with those applicable to the
determination of the CEO’s 2007 annual bonus and shall be determined by the
Committee, after consultation with the CEO and Executive, no later than March
31, 2007.  In respect of calendar years
during the Employment Period beginning after 2007, any Annual Bonus shall be
determined by reference to the attainment of objective performance criteria,
which criteria shall be determined by the Committee within sixty days after the
start of the applicable calendar year. 
Each Annual Bonus shall be paid to Executive, to the extent that any
such Annual Bonus becomes payable, within thirty days after the date on which
the Committee conclusively determines the extent to which the applicable
performance criteria have (or have not) been met.

(c)           Stock
Option.  Subject to approval by the
Committee, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the Company
shall grant to Executive a nonqualified option to purchase 100,024 shares of
Company common stock (the “Option”).  The Option shall be granted to Executive at
an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share
of Company common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Committee.  Subject to Executive’s continued employment
with the Company through each such date, the Option shall vest and become
exercisable with respect to 25,000 of the shares subject thereto on the first
anniversary of the date of grant of the Option (the “Option Grant Date”)
and with respect to 2,084 of the shares subject thereto on each monthly
anniversary of the Option Grant Date thereafter, such that the Option shall be
vested and exercisable with respect to all shares subject thereto (subject to
Executive’s continued employment) on the fourth anniversary of the Option 

 2
 

Grant Date. 
Consistent with the foregoing, the terms and conditions of the Option,
including the applicable vesting conditions, shall be set forth in an Option
grant agreement to be entered into by the Company and Executive in a form
prescribed by the Company which shall evidence the grant of the Option (the “Option
Agreement”).  The Option shall,
subject to the provisions of this Section 3(c), be governed in all respects by
the terms of the applicable Option Agreement.

(d)           Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to approval by the Committee, as soon
as practicable following the Effective Date, the Company shall grant to
Executive, under the OA Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan (the “Equity Plan”), 60,000 restricted stock
units (the “RSUs”).  Subject to
Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each such date, the
RSU grant shall vest with respect to 15,000 RSUs on the first anniversary of
the date of grant of the RSUs (the “RSU Grant Date”) and with respect to
1,250 of the RSUs on each monthly anniversary of the RSU Grant Date thereafter,
such that the RSU grant shall be vested with respect to all RSUs (subject to
Executive’s continued employment) on the fourth anniversary of the RSU Grant
Date.  Consistent with the foregoing, the
terms and conditions of the RSUs, including the applicable vesting and share
delivery conditions, shall be set forth in a RSU grant agreement to be entered
into by the Company and Executive which shall evidence the grant of the RSUs and,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be consistent with the
terms and conditions contained in RSU grant agreements provided to other key
executives of the Company (the “RSU Agreement”). The RSUs shall, subject
to the provisions of this Section 3(d), be governed in all respects by the
terms of the Equity Plan and the applicable RSU Agreement.

(e)           Additional Incentive Bonus.  In addition to the Base Salary, any Annual
Bonuses and the RSU and Option grants, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
pay to Executive a one-time additional bonus of up to $50,000 (the “Additional
Bonus”) upon the attainment of performance objectives relating to the
post-transaction integration of the Company with each of Vista Staffing
Solutions, Inc. and Oxford, Inc., including synergy savings and other criteria
selected by the Committee (the “Additional Bonus Objectives”).  The Additional Bonus Objectives shall be
established, after consultation with Executive, in the sole discretion of the
Committee, and the Additional Bonus shall become payable, if at all, at such
date or dates as are determined by the Committee, subject to Executive’s
continued employment through any such date(s). 
Determinations as to whether the Additional Bonus performance objectives
have been attained shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee.

(f)            Benefit Plans.  During the Employment Period, Executive and
Executive’s legal dependants shall be eligible to participate in the welfare
benefit plans, policies and programs (including, if applicable, medical,
dental, disability, life and accidental death insurance plans and programs)
maintained by the Company for its senior executives.  In addition, Executive shall be eligible to
participate in such incentive, savings and retirement plans, policies and
programs as are made available to senior executives of the Company, provided, that the Company shall have no obligation, in any
case, to adopt, maintain or continue any such plans, policies or programs.

(g)           Additional Perquisites.  In addition to the compensation and benefits
described above in this Section 3, during the Employment Period, the Company
shall (i) pay to Executive an automobile allowance of $450 per month and, (ii)
pay or reimburse Executive for 

 3
 

actual, properly
substantiated expenses incurred by Executive in connection with (A) an annual
physical examination, not to exceed $1,500 per calendar year; and (B) tax
preparation and financial planning services, not to exceed $2,500 per calendar
year.

(h)           Vacation.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per calendar year, pro rated for any
service by Executive during any partial calendar year, provided,
that Executive shall not accrue any vacation time in excess of four weeks.

(i)            Expenses.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall
be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses
incurred by Executive in accordance with the Company expense reimbursement
policy applicable to senior executives of the Company, as in effect from time
to time, provided that Executive properly substantiates such expenses in
accordance with such policy.

4.             Termination of Employment.

Either the Company
or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason or
no reason.  The following provisions
shall control any such termination of Executive’s employment, subject to
Section 8 below.

(a)           Termination
Without Cause.  The Company may
terminate Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below) at any time
during the Employment Period upon written notice to Executive provided in
accordance with Section 7 below (for purposes of this Section 4(a), the date
specified in any such notice provided in accordance with this Section 4(a)
shall constitute the “Date of Termination”).  If Executive’s employment is terminated as
provided in this Section 4(a), the Company shall promptly, or in the case of
obligations described in clause (iv) below, as such obligations become due to
Executive, pay or provide to Executive, (i) Executive’s earned but unpaid Base
Salary accrued through such Date of Termination, (ii) accrued but unpaid
vacation time through such Date of Termination, (iii) reimbursement of any
business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the Date of Termination that
are reimbursable under Sections 3(g) or 3(i) above, and (iv) any vested
benefits and other amounts due to Executive under any plan, program or policy
of the Company (together, the “Accrued Obligations”).  In addition, subject to Section 4(h) below,
Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a binding Release (as defined
below) in accordance with Section 4(f) below and Executive’s continued
compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below), Executive
shall be entitled to continued payment of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate
in effect as of the Date of Termination for a period of twelve months following
the Date of Termination, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll
procedures applicable to senior executives of the Company, as in effect from
time to time (the “Severance”).

(b)           Death; Disability.  If Executive dies during the Employment
Period or Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s total and
permanent disability (as determined by the Committee), Executive or Executive’s
estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations
promptly or, in the case of benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such
obligations become due to Executive.  In
addition, subject to Section 4(h) below, Executive’s (or Executive’s estate’s)
execution and non-revocation of a binding Release 

 4
 

in accordance with Section 4(g) below and
Executive’s continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement (upon a
disability termination), Executive (or Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to
receive the Severance.  For purposes of
this Section 4(b), “Date of Termination” shall mean the date of
Executive’s death or the date on which the Committee notifies Executive, in
accordance with Section 7 below, that Executive’s employment has terminated due
to Executive’s Disability, as applicable.

(c)           Cause.  If Executive’s employment becomes terminable
by the Company for Cause, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment
immediately and Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations
promptly or, in the case of benefits described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such
obligations become due to Executive.

(d)           Resignation.  Executive may terminate Executive’s
employment upon sixty days’ notice to the Company provided in accordance with
Section 7 below, subject to the Company’s right to waive any or all of such
notice period.  If Executive so
terminates Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to receive the
Accrued Obligations promptly, or, in the case of benefits described in Section
4(a)(iv), as such obligations become due to Executive.  If the Company elects to waive the notice
period provided for in this Section 4(d), Executive shall not be entitled to
any compensation in respect of such period.

(e)           Other
Terminations.  If Executive’s
employment terminates for any reason other than those specified in Sections
4(a), (b), (c) or (d) above (including without limitation, the Company’s
election not to extend the Employment Period), the Company shall promptly, or in
the case of items described in Section 4(a)(iv), as such obligations become due
to Executive, pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations.

(f)            Release;
Exclusivity of Benefits. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall be
a condition to Executive’s right to receive the Severance that Executive (or
his estate) execute, deliver to the Company and not revoke a general release of
claims in a form prescribed by the Company (the “Release”).  Except as expressly provided in this Section
4, upon the termination of Executive’s employment, the Company shall have no
obligations to Executive in connection with his employment with the Company or
the termination thereof.

(g)           Definitions.

“Cause”
shall mean (i) a material breach of this Agreement by Executive; (ii) the
willful or repeated failure or refusal by Executive substantially to perform
Executive’s duties hereunder; (iii) the indictment of Executive for any felony
or other crime involving moral turpitude, (iv) fraud, embezzlement or
misappropriation by Executive relating to the Company or its funds, properties,
corporate opportunities or other assets to the extent that the Company
reasonably determines such act to be materially injurious to the Company, or
(v) Executive repeatedly acting in a manner or repeatedly making any
statements, in either case, which the Company reasonably determines to be
detrimental or damaging to the reputation, operations, prospects or business
relations of the Company.

 5
 

(h)           Six-Month Delay.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any
Severance payments, shall be paid to Executive during the 6-month period
following Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”))
if the Committee determines that paying such amounts at the time or times
indicated in this Agreement would cause Executive to incur additional taxes
under Section 409A of the Code.  If the
payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence,
then on the first day following the end of such 6-month period, the Company
shall pay Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would
have otherwise been payable to Executive during such 6-month period.

5.             Confidential
Information and Employee Developments.  Concurrently herewith, Executive agrees to
execute and comply with the terms of the Confidential Information and Employee
Development Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”).  The compensation and
benefits provided under this Agreement, together with any Severance obligations
arising hereunder and other good and valuable consideration are hereby acknowledged
by the parties hereto to constitute adequate consideration for Executive’s
entering into the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.             Representations.

(a)           No Violation of Other Agreements.  Executive hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that (i) he is entering into this
Agreement voluntarily and that the performance of his obligations hereunder
will not violate any agreement between him and any other person, firm,
organization or other entity, and (ii) he is not bound by the terms of any
agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing,
directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or other
party that would be violated by his entering into this Agreement and/or
providing services to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)           No Disclosure of Confidential Information.   Executive’s performance of his duties under
this Agreement will not require him to, and he shall not, rely on in the
performance of his duties or disclose to the Company or any other person or
entity or induce the Company in any way to use or rely on any trade secret or
other confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any
previous employer of Executive.

7.             Notice.  Any notice or other communication required or
permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and
delivered personally or sent by fax, email or registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, addressed as follows (or if it is sent through any other
method agreed upon by the parties):

If to Executive: to the most current home address on
file with the Company’s Human Resources department,

or to such other
address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the other in accordance
with this Section 7, and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt.

8.             Change of Control Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge that Executive and the Company have
entered into an Executive Change of Control Agreement of even date herewith
(the “COC Agreement”) and, that, in the event that Executive becomes entitled
to compensation or benefits under the COC Agreement (as determined solely under
the terms of the COC Agreement), this Agreement shall be superseded by the COC
Agreement and no further compensation or benefits in any form shall become
payable under this Agreement.

9.             Miscellaneous.

(a)           Governing
Law.  The rights and duties of the
parties will be governed by the local law of the State of California, excluding
any choice-of-law rules that would require the application of the laws of any
other jurisdiction.  The parties hereto
consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the
state of California to adjudicate any disputes between such parties.

(b)           Captions.  The captions of this Agreement are not part
of the provisions hereof, rather they are included for convenience only and
shall have no force or effect.

(c)           Amendment.  The terms of this Agreement may not be
amended or modified other than by a written instrument executed by the parties
hereto or their respective successors.

(d)           Withholding.  The Company shall withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and/or foreign taxes, as
the Company determines to be legally required pursuant to any applicable laws
or regulations.

(e)           No
Waiver.  Failure by either party
hereto to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or
to assert any right such party may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

(f)            Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement.

(g)           Construction.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision.  Accordingly, the rule of construction to the
effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement. 
Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both
parties hereto and not in favor or against either party by the rule of
construction abovementioned.

 7
 

(h)           Assignment.  This Agreement is binding on and for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  Neither this Agreement nor any right or
obligation hereunder may be assigned by Executive.

(i)            Entire
Agreement.  As of the Effective Date,
this Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, any applicable
Stock Option Agreement and RSU Agreement and the COC Agreement, constitute the
final, complete and exclusive agreement and understanding between Executive and
the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and replace and supersede
any and all other agreements, offers or promises, whether oral or written, made
to Executive by the Company or any representative thereof.

(j)            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

 

 8

IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set his hand and, pursuant to the authorization
from the Committee, the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its
name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.

In consideration
of my engagement by On Assignment, Inc. (the “Company”) to provide the

given access to certain confidential, secret and proprietary information and
materials owned by the Company or which relate to the Company’s historical,
current or planned business or business activities, including but not limited
to, all information not generally known to the public that relates to the inventions,
processes, formulas, designs, developments, technology, technical data,
research and development, products, policies, practices, supplier information,
markets, marketing plans, subscribers and proposals of the Company, the
identity of all actual and prospective clients, client lists, files and all
information relating to individual clients, and information on all persons for
whom the Company performs services or with whom I have contact during the
course of my employment related to the Company’s current or planned business or
business activities, and all other information the Company designates as “confidential”
(hereafter the “Confidential Information”), provided,
that Confidential Information does not include information which (i) is or
becomes publicly known other than as a result of my actions in violation of
this Agreement; (ii) has been made available by the Company, directly or
indirectly, to a non-affiliated third party without obligation of
confidentiality; or (iii) I am obligated to produce as a result of a court
order or pursuant to governmental action or proceeding, provided that I give
the Company prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure
and assistance in obtaining an order protecting such Confidential Information
from public disclosure.

b.             Use
of Confidential Information.  I
acknowledge and agree that all Confidential Information shall be considered
trade secrets of the Company and shall be entitled to all protections given by
law to trade secrets.  Confidential
Information shall apply to every form in which information shall exist, whether
written, film, tape, computer disk or other form of media, including original
materials and any copies thereof.  I
agree that the Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive
property of the Company.  I will not,
during my employment with the Company or at any time after the termination
thereof for any reason whatsoever, disclose or make known or use for myself or
others (except as required in the course of my employment with the Company or
when otherwise authorized to do so in writing signed by an authorized
representative of the Company) any Confidential Information or information 

 A-1
 

about clients to
any person, firm, corporation or other entity. 
Moreover, I will not directly or indirectly help or assist any other
person to do any of the prohibited acts listed in this section.

2.                                      Documents.  All notes, memoranda, files, records,
writings and other documents, whether on tangible or electronic media (“Documents”),
which I shall prepare, use or come into contact with during my employment with
the Company which relate to or are useful in any manner to the business now or
hereafter conducted by the Company are and shall remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Company.  I shall not
remove from the Company’s premises the original or any reproduction of any such
Documents nor any of the information contained therein except as required in
the course of employment with the Company or otherwise with the prior written
consent of an authorized representative of the Company, and all such Documents
and information in my possession or under my custody or control shall be turned
over to the Company immediately upon the termination of my service relationship
with the Company.  

3.                                      Developments.

a.             Property
of the Company.  I agree that all
Developments (as defined below) shall be at the instant of creation or
expression the sole property of the Company, to the greatest extent possible
shall be deemed “works made for hire” and that I shall retain no rights or
interest of any kind therein.  The
Company shall own all right, title and interest of any kind in and to all
Developments and all related intellectual property, ownership and other rights
and I shall have no claims, interest, rights or title in and to each of the
Developments and all related intellectual, ownership and other rights thereto.

b.             Waiver
of Rights; License.  In the event
that, by operation of law or otherwise, I retain any rights to any Developments
or any related intellectual property, ownership or other rights, I hereby
transfer and assign to the Company, without further consideration, my entire
right, title and interest in and to such Developments and all related
intellectual property, ownership and other rights, and I hereby waive any and
all rights or interest of any kind therein including any moral rights; and to
the extent any right, title or interest in and to any Developments or any
related intellectual property, ownership or other rights cannot fully be assigned
by me to the Company, I hereby grant to the Company an exclusive, royalty-free,
transferable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to
sublicense) to use, exploit and practice such non-assignable right, title and
interest.

c.             Cooperation.  I agree to assist the Company in protecting
the Company’s sole interest in the Developments, and to execute any and all
documents required to ensure that all intellectual property rights in the
Developments are owned solely and exclusively by the Company.  I hereby irrevocably appoint the Company as
my true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled
with an interest to act for and on my behalf to execute, verify and file any
such documents and to do all other acts to 

 A-2
 

further the
purposes of this Section 3 with the same legal force and effect as if executed
by me (including without limitation the right to execute assignments of and to
register any and all rights to the Developments), and this appointment shall
survive termination of this Agreement.  I
agree to promptly and fully disclose in writing to the Company all Developments
during the term of the Employment Agreement and for a period of one year
immediately following the termination of my service relationship with the
Company for any reason (the “Restricted Period”).

d.             Limited
Scope.  This Section 3 shall not
apply to any inventions that I have made prior to my service relationship with
the Company (all of which are listed on Annex A, attached hereto), or to any
inventions that I develop entirely on my own time without use of the Company’s
equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information and which do not
relate to the Company’s present, future or prospective business, products,
research and development, processes or the work I perform for the Company.  If, in the course of my employment with the
Company, I incorporate an invention identified on Annex A into a Development, I
hereby grant the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual,
worldwide license (with rights to sublicense) to make, have made, modify, use,
distribute and sell such prior invention. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or
permit to be incorporated, prior inventions in any Developments without the
Company’s prior written consent.

e.             Developments
Definition.  As used in this Section
3, “Developments” means any and all: (i) ideas, designs, designations,
concepts, inventions, products, discoveries, improvements, processes, machines,
manufacturing, marketing, service methods and techniques, formulae, designs,
composition of matter, styles and specifications, (ii) works of authorship or
information fixed in any tangible medium of expression or mask works, (iii)
trademarks, service marks or trade names, (iv) trade secrets and know-how
(including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to formulae,
patterns, compilations, programs, methods, techniques or processes), (v)
subject matter otherwise protectable under patent, copyright, moral right, mask
work, trademark, trade secret or other laws, and (vi) products, systems,
equipment, or devices which are conceived, reduced to practice, created,
derived, developed or made from any of the foregoing clauses, and with respect
to such foregoing clauses other than clause (v), whether or not protectable
under patent, copyright, moral right, mask work, trademark, trade secret or
other laws, which are conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived,
developed, improved or made by me (whether at the request or suggestion of
Company or otherwise, whether alone or in conjunction with others, and whether
during regular hours of work or otherwise) during the period of my employment
with the Company, which may pertain to the present, future or prospective
business, products, research and development, or processes of the Company.

4.                                      Employee
Non-Solicitation.  I acknowledge that
I have or will gain valuable information about the identity, qualifications and
on-going performance of the employees of the Company.  During the Restricted Period, I agree that I
will not 

 A-3
 

directly or
indirectly solicit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to seek or
accept employment with me or any other person or entity, or disclose any
information about any such employee to any prospective employer.

5.                                      Injunctive
Relief.  I agree that it is
impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Company in
the event that I breach any of the restrictions provided in this
Agreement.  Accordingly, in the event
that I breach any such restriction, the Company shall be entitled to an
injunction restraining me from further violating such restriction without the
need to post any bond therefor.  If the
Company shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce any such
restrictions, I hereby waive the claim or defense that the Company has an
adequate remedy at law and agree not to assert such claim or defense.  The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s
right to require me to account for and pay over to the Company, and I hereby
agree to account for and pay over to the Company, the compensation, profits,
monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received by me as a result of any
transaction constituting a breach of any of the restrictions provided in this
Agreement and, if so determined, I hereby agree to account for and pay over to
the Company such amounts.

6.                                      Severability.  If any portion of this Agreement is held to
be invalid or unenforceable, or excessively broad, the remaining covenants and
restrictions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect to the
fullest degree possible to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and to afford
the Company the maximum protections allowed by law and, if with respect to any
of the covenants contained in Section 4 above, the invalidity or
unenforceability is due to the deemed unreasonableness of time or geographical
restrictions, such covenants and restrictions shall be effective for such
period of time and for such area as may be determined to be reasonable by a
court of competent jurisdiction.  The
parties agree that the Court shall construe any invalid or unenforceable
provisions in the manner that most closely reflects the effect and intent of
the original language.

7.                                      Governing
Law.  The rights and duties of the
parties will be governed by the local law of the State of California, excluding
any choice-of-law rules that would require the application of the laws of any
other jurisdiction, and I consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts located in the State of California to adjudicate any disputes between me
and the Company.  I acknowledge that I
cannot amend, terminate or otherwise modify this Agreement, except with the
prior written consent of the Company.

8.                                      Captions.  The captions of this Agreement are not part
of the provisions hereof, rather they are included for convenience only and
shall have no force or effect.
