THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION
("Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase Fifty Five Thousand Nine
Hundred and Forty Four (55,944) shares of the fully paid and nonassessable
Common Stock (the "Shares" or the "Stock") of CYBERKINETICS NEUROTECHNOLOGY
SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the Warrant Price (as
hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

1. Warrant Price. The Warrant Price shall be One dollar and 79/100 dollars
($1.79) per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below.

anniversary of the date of this Warrant.

3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant.

(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented
by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by
the surrender of this Warrant (with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the
form attached hereto) at the principal office of the Company (as set forth in
Section 18 below) and by payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to
the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of shares
then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be in the
name of, and delivered to, the Holder hereof, or as such Holder may direct
(subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such
Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made

surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with
notice of such election, in which event the
<PAGE>
Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
computed using the following formula:

      X = Y (A-B)
          -------
             A

      Where X = the number of shares of Stock to be issued to Holder.

      Y = the number of shares of Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the
             date of such calculation).

      A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company's Common Stock (at
             the date of such calculation).

      B = Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 3, Fair Market Value of one
share of the Company's Stock shall mean:

      (i) In the event of an exercise in connection with an Initial Public
      Offering, the per share Fair Market Value for the Stock shall be the
      Offering Price at which the underwriters initially sell Common Stock to
      the public multiplied by the number of shares of Stock; or

      (ii) The average of the closing bid and asked prices of Common Stock
      quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary, the last reported sale
      price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM") or on any exchange on
      which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in
      the New York City Edition of the Wall Street Journal for the ten (10)
      trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value,
      multiplied by the number of shares of; or

      (iii) In the event of an exercise in connection with a merger, acquisition
      or other consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity,
      the per share Fair Market Value for the Stock shall be the value to be
      received per share of Common Stock by all holders of the Common Stock in
      such transaction as determined by the Board of Directors; or

      (iv) In any other instance, the per share Fair Market Value for the Stock
      shall be as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.

      In the event of 3(c)(iii) or 3(c)(iv), above, the Company's Board of
      Directors shall prepare a certificate, to be signed by an authorized
      officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
      and method of determination of the per share Fair Market Value of the
      Stock. The Board will also certify to the Holder that this per share Fair
      Market Value will be applicable to all holders of the Company's Common
      Stock. Such certification must be made to Holder at least thirty (30)
      business days prior to the proposed effective date of the merger,
      consolidation, sale, or other triggering event as defined in 3(c)(iii) or
      3(c)(iv).

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and the Company

(a) Representations and Warranties by Holder. The Holder represents and warrants
to the Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
      (i) The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in
      private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to the
      Company so that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
      of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
      interests.

      (ii) Except for transfers to a Holder's affiliates, the Holder is
      acquiring the Warrant and the Shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of
      the Warrant (collectively the "Securities") for investment for its own
      account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
      distribution thereof. The Holder understands that the Securities have not
      been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")
      by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
      Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
      investment intent as expressed herein.

      (iii) The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held
      indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption
      from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions
      of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

      (iv) The Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
      Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

      (v) The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business,
      management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to
      review the Company's facilities. The Holder understands that such
      discussions, as well as the written information issued by the Company,
      were intended to describe the aspects of the Company's business and
      prospects which the Company believes to be material but were not
      necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description.

(b) Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that, except as set forth
in the schedule attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (the "Disclosure
Schedule"), the statements in the following paragraphs of this Section 4(b) are
true and correct (a) as of the date hereof and (b) except where any such
representation and warranty relates specifically to an earlier date, as of the
date of any exercise of this Warrant.

            ( i ) Corporate Organization and Authority. Company (a) is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing in its
jurisdiction of incorporation, (b) has the corporate power and authority to own
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted; and (c) is qualified as a foreign corporation in all
jurisdictions where such qualification is required, except where the failure to
qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

            ( ii ) Corporate Power. Company has all requisite legal and
corporate power and authority to execute, issue and deliver the Warrant, to
issue the Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant, and
to carry out and perform its obligations under the Warrant and any related
agreements.

            ( iii ) Authorization; Enforceability. All corporate action on the
part of Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the
authorization, execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under this
Warrant and for the authorization, issuance

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
and delivery of the Warrant and Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant has
been taken and this Warrant constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation
of Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            ( iv ) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Common Stock. The Warrant has
been validly issued and is free of restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer set forth herein and under applicable state and federal
securities laws. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, when
issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Warrant for the
consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than
restrictions on transfer under this Warrant and under applicable state and
federal securities laws. Subject to applicable restrictions on transfer, the
issuance and delivery of the Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Warrant are not subject to any preemptive or other similar
rights or any liens or encumbrances except as specifically set forth in
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or this Warrant. The offer, sale and
issuance of the Warrant and Common Stock, as contemplated by this Warrant, are
exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable United
States federal and state security laws, and neither Company nor any authorized
agent acting on its behalf has or will take any action hereafter that would
cause the loss of such exemption.

            ( v ) No Conflict with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery,
and performance of this Warrant will not result in any violation of, be in
conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of
time or the giving of notice (a) any provision of Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or by-laws; (b) any provision of any judgment, decree, or order to
which Company is a party or by which it is bound or an event which results in
the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material
assets of Company; (c) any contract, obligation, or commitment to which Company
is a party or by which it is bound; or (d) any statute, rule, or governmental
regulation applicable to Company.

            ( vi ) Capitalization. As of recent date, the authorized capital
stock of Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001par value,
of which 27,157,997 were issued and 25,897,997 were outstanding, and 50,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value, of which none were issued and
outstanding. The outstanding shares have been duly authorized and validly issued
(including, without limitation, issued in compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws), are fully paid and nonassessable. Company has reserved
55,944 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. Except
as set forth in Section 4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no
outstanding warrants, options, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other
rights or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire or issue any equity
securities or convertible Securities of Company, nor has the issuance of any of
the aforesaid rights to acquire securities of Company been authorized.

            ( vii ) Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of
Company is required in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of the
Warrant (and the Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant), or the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, except for the
following: (a) the filing of a notice on Form D under the Act and b) the
compliance with other applicable state securities laws, which compliance will
have occurred within the appropriate time periods therefore. The offer, sale and
issuance of the Warrant and the shares of Stock in conformity with

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
the terms of this Warrant are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Act and any applicable state laws.

5. Legends.

(a) Each certificate representing the Securities shall be endorsed with the
following legend:

            THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
            OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE
            REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, A "NO ACTION" LETTER FROM THE
            SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER, A
            TRANSFER MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES AND
            EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR (IF REASONABLY REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY) AN
            OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY
            SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

The Company need not enter into its stock records a transfer of Securities
unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. The
Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to allow the transfer of any of
the Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are
satisfied.

(b) Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act
endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 5(a) of this Warrant shall be
removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the
Holder of the Securities if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and
a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available or
(ii) the Holder provides to the Company an opinion of counsel for the Holder
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, a no-action letter or interpretive
opinion of the staff of the SEC reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that public sale,
transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and
without compliance with any restriction such as Rule 144.

6. Condition of Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. It shall be a condition to any
transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or
exercise, the Holder shall provide the Company with a representation in writing
that the Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Stock
to be issued upon exercise for investment purposes only and not with a view to
any sale or distribution, or will provide the Company with a statement of
pertinent facts covering any proposed distribution. As a further condition to
any transfer of this Warrant or any or all of the shares of Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, other than a transfer registered under the Act, the
Company may request a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company and its counsel, reciting the pertinent circumstances surrounding the
proposed transfer and stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration
and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. The Company shall not require
Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of
Holder. Each certificate evidencing the shares issued upon exercise of the
Warrant or upon any transfer of the shares (other than a transfer registered
under the Act or any subsequent transfer of shares so registered) shall, at the
Company's option, if the Shares are not freely saleable under Rule 144(k) under
the Act, contain a legend in form

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, restricting the
transfer of the shares to sales or other dispositions exempt from the
requirements of the Act. As further condition to each transfer, at the request
of the Company, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company and the
transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like tenor and date, executed
by the Company.

Holder shall not have any right to transfer any portion of this Warrant to: (A)
any person or entity organized or domiciled outside the United States; (B) any
person or entity with a primary business activity involving the life sciences or
the research, development or sale of pharmaceutical or medical device products;
or (C) any person or entity whose primary business purpose is the buy-out or
acquisition of operating companies.

7. Adjustment for Certain Events. The number and kind of securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

      (a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change
of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with
another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of
outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of
any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company,
or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall make
appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the Holder
shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that
payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in
lieu of the shares of Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant,
the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a Holder of the
number of shares of Stock then purchasable under this Warrant, or in the case of
such a merger or sale in which the consideration paid consists all or in part of
assets other than securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the
option of the Holder, the securities of the successor or purchasing corporation
having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the value of the
Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the transaction.
Any new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 7. The
provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

      (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while
this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately
decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately
increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.

      (c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at any time
while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend with
respect to Common Stock

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and
after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction
(A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any
other distribution with respect to Common Stock (except any distribution
specifically provided for in Sections 7(a) and 7(b)), then, in each such case,
provision shall be made by the Company such that the Holder of this Warrant
shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such
dividend or distribution as though it were the Holder of the Common Stock as of
the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of the Company
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

      (d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant
Price, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the
nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to
such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price
immediately thereafter.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Warrant Price or the kind or number of
securities issuable under this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7
hereof, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of the
Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment,
the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was
calculated, and the Warrant Price and number or kind of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause
copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return
receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to
the Holder of this Warrant as set forth in Section 17 hereof.

9. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of the
Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender
of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 6 and
applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall issue and
deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred.
Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new
Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred. Holder shall not have
any right to transfer any portion of this Warrant to any direct competitor of
the Company.

10. Registration Rights. If at any time the Company determines to register under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (including pursuant to a demand of any
security holder of the Company exercising registration rights), any of its
Common Stock (except securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business, shares issuable solely upon exercise of
stock options, shares issuable solely pursuant to employee benefit plans or
shares to be registered on any registration form that does not permit secondary
sales), it must give Holder written notice of such determination at least 30
days prior to each such filing. If, within 15 days after receipt of such notice,
Holder so requests in writing, the Company must include in such registration
statement (to the extent permitted by applicable regulation) all or any part of
Holder's warrants and shares of Common Stock (or other securities representing
Common Stock)

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
purchasable or purchased from time to time under Holder's warrants (collectively
"Registrable Securities") that Holder requests to be registered. Any Registrable
Securities that are included in any underwritten offering under this Section 10
will be sold upon such terms as the managing underwriters reasonably request,
which may include without limitation a cutback in the Registrable Securities to
be registered. If Holder disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, Holder
may elect to withdraw from such underwriting by written notice to the Company
and the underwriter.

11. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share the
Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price
then in effect.

12. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax
or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate,
all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such
certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder.

13. No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof.

14. Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name
and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be
surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such
office or agency of the Company, and the Company and Holder shall be entitled to
rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such
registry.

15. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or
destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this
Warrant, in lieu hereof.

16. Miscellaneous.

      shall be given effect in all respect as if it had been issued and

      assigns of the Company.

      taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted

      fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a
      trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising
      out of, under or in connection with this Warrant or the Shares.

      (g) Attorney's Fees. In the event of any dispute between the parties

     6) Restrictions.

          a) Non-solicitation. During the Term and for a one (1) year period after the
termination of the Term for any reason, the Vice Chairman shall not directly or indirectly, for
himself or for any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity, other
than in connection with the performance of the Vice Chairman’s duties under this Agreement, (i)
solicit for employment or attempt to employ or enter into any contractual arrangement with any
employee, consultant or independent contractor or former employee, consultant or independent
contractor of the Company, unless such employee, consultant or independent contractor, has not been
employed or engaged by the Company for a period in excess of six (6) months or (ii) call on or
solicit any of the operating units of the clients doing business with the Company as of the
termination of the Term or potential clients with which the Company is conducting negotiations at
the termination of the Term for any reason on behalf of any person or entity in connection with any
business competitive with the business of the Company.

          b) Acknowledgment by the Vice Chairman. The Vice Chairman acknowledges and confirms
that (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6 are reasonably necessary to protect
the legitimate business interests of the Company and (ii) the restrictions contained in this
Section 6 (including without limitation the length of the term of the provisions of this Section 6
are not over broad, over long, or unfair and are not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion
of any kind). The Vice Chairman further acknowledges and confirms that his full, uninhibited and
faithful observance of each of the covenants contained in this Section 6 will not cause him any
undue hardship, financial or otherwise, and that enforcement of each of the covenants contained
herein will not impair his ability to obtain employment commensurate with his abilities and on
terms fully acceptable to him or otherwise to obtain income required for the comfortable support of
him and his family and the satisfaction of the needs of his creditors. The Vice Chairman
acknowledges and confirms that his special knowledge of the business of the Company is such as
would cause the Company serious injury or loss if he were to use such ability and knowledge to the
benefit of a competitor of the Company in violation of the terms of this Section 6. The Vice
Chairman further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6 are intended to be,
and shall be, for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns.

          c) Reformation by Court. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall
determine that any provision of this Section 6 is invalid or more restrictive than permitted under
the governing law of such jurisdiction, then only as to enforcement of this Section 6 within the
jurisdiction of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced as if it provided for
the maximum restriction permitted under such governing law.

          d) Extension of Time. If the Vice Chairman shall be in violation of any provision of
this Section 6 then each time limitation set forth in this Section 6 shall be extended for a period
of time equal to the period of time during which such violation or violations occur. If the
Company seeks injunctive relief from such violation in any court, then the covenants set forth in
this Section 6 shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceeding
including all appeals by the Vice Chairman.

          e) Survival. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, as applicable.

     7) Termination. The Company and the Vice Chairman shall each have the right to
terminate the Term and the Vice Chairman’s engagement hereunder for any reason upon providing the
other party with thirty (30) days written notice. The Company’s sole obligation will be to pay the
Vice Chairman his monthly fee through date of termination.

     8) Waivers. It is understood that either party may waive the strict performance of
any covenant or agreement made herein; however, any waiver made by a party hereto must be duly made
in writing in order to be considered a waiver, and the waiver of one covenant or agreement shall
not be considered a waiver of any other covenant or agreement unless specifically in writing as
aforementioned.

     9) Savings Provisions. The invalidity, in whole or in part, of any covenant or
restriction, or any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word, or other provisions of
this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions thereof.

     10) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its choice of law provision.

     11) Notices. If either party desires to give notice to the other in connection with
any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, said notice must be in writing and shall be
deemed given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) sent by
facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by registered
mail, return receipt requested, or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), in each case addressed to the party for
whom it is intended at the address specified above.

     12) Default. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of section 14, in the
event either party defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the
non-defaulting party may, after giving 30 days’ notice to the defaulting party to provide a
reasonable opportunity to cure such default, proceed to protect its rights by suit in equity,
action or law, or, where specifically provided for herein, by arbitration, to enforce performance
under this Agreement or to recover damages for breach thereof, including all costs and attorneys’
fees, whether settled out of court, arbitrated, or tried (at both trial and appellate levels).

     13) No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is
intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the Company, the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

     14) Waiver of Jury Trial. All parties knowingly waive their rights to request a trial
by jury in any litigation in any court of law, tribunal or legal proceeding involving the parties
hereto or any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement. Any controversy or claim
arising out of this Agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or alleged breach, default or
misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, shall be submitted to binding
arbitration before JAMS-Endispute in accordance with its rules and procedures for commercial
arbitration of disputes with arbitrators knowledgeable in the computer consulting/information
technology industry. The non-prevailing party shall pay the cost of the arbitration, provided,
however, each party shall bear the expenses of its own attorneys. Notwithstanding the foregoing
and the provisions of Section 12, the Company may proceed immediately to litigation to enforce its
rights under Sections 5 and 6 hereof.

     15) Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
