SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE    
  

        This Separation Agreement and Release ("Agreement") is entered into by and between QRS Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents,
attorneys, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (the "Company"), and Sean Salehi, his/her heirs, executors, representatives and
assigns ("Employee"). 

        WHEREAS,
Employee has been employed by the Company; 

        WHEREAS,
the Employee's employment with the Company will terminate on the date set forth herein; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and Employee (collectively referred to as the "Parties") hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Termination.    The Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that Employee's separation from the Company is
effective May 10, 2002 (the "Termination Date"). Until the Termination Date, Employee agrees to perform such duties and responsibilities as directed by the CEO and President of the Company. The
Company may immediately terminate this Agreement without any further liability to Employee if Employee: (1) materially breaches any obligation under any confidential or proprietary information
agreements with the Company or violates his fiduciary duties as an officer of the Company, (2) fails to follow in a material respect any reasonable policies established on an
employee-wide basis by the Company, (3) engages in willful misconduct having a detrimental effect on the Company, or (4) engages in unauthorized activity creating a material
conflict of interest between Employee and the Company after notice and a reasonable opportunity to refrain from that conduct. 

        2.    Consideration.    In consideration for Employee's release of claims set forth below and other obligations under
this Agreement, the Company and Employee agree as follows: 

	(a)
	Severance
Pay in the amount of your targeted total annual compensation, totaling $300,000, less applicable withholdings (including without limitation withholding on account of any
restricted stock awards) aware, payable as follows: $100,000 less applicable withholdings shall be paid on or before May 17, 2002; $100,000 less applicable withholdings shall be paid on or
before July 5, 2002; and $100,000 less applicable withholdings shall be paid on or before October 4, 2002.

	(b)
	If
Employee elects COBRA coverage, the Company will pay for the first twelve (12) months of COBRA coverage. 

        Employee
acknowledges and agrees that but for his execution of this Agreement, he would not otherwise have an unqualified right to the benefits described in paragraph 2(a) and
2(b) above. 

        3.    Stock Option.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that any unvested stock options and/or restricted stock
presently issued and outstanding will cease to vest on Termination Date. Employee agrees that he shall have no further rights to any shares which remain unvested as of Termination Date. 

        4.    No Other Payments Due.    Employee acknowledges and agrees that he/she has received all salary, accrued
vacation, bonuses, or other such sums due to Employee other than amounts to be paid and benefits provided pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement. In light of the payment by the Company of all
wages due, or to become due to the Employee, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that California Labor Code section 206.5 is not applicable to the Parties hereto. That section provides in
pertinent part as follows: 

No
employer shall require the execution of any release of any claim or right on account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance on wages to be earned, unless payment of such wages has
been made. 

 

        5.    Employee Release of Claims.    In consideration for the obligations of both parties under this Agreement,
Employee hereby fully and forever releases the Company from any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that
he/she may possess arising from any omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement including, without limitation: 

	(a)
	any
and all claims relating to or arising from Employee's employment relationship with the Company and termination of that relationship;

	(b)
	any
and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee's right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company;

	(c)
	any
and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied;
negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage and
defamation;

	(d)
	any
and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act;

	(e)
	any
and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination; and

	(f)
	any
and all claims for attorney's fees and costs. 

Employee
agrees that the release set forth in the section shall be and will remain in effect in all respects as a complete and general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend
to any obligations incurred under this Agreement nor does it abrogate any rights of Employee pursuant to California Labor Code section 2802. 

        6.    Waiver of Unknown or Future Claims.    Employee represents that he/she is not aware of any claim other than the
claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he/she is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows: 

A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS/HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM/HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS/HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 

        Employee,
being aware of such code section, agrees to waive any rights either party may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. 

        7.    Nondisclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information.    Employee agrees that he/she shall continue to
maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and propriety information of the Company as provided by the agreement regarding confidential information and ownership of inventions (the
"Confidentiality Agreement") between the Company and the Employee. Employee agrees that at all times hereafter, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable state and
federal law, Employee shall not divulge, furnish or make available to any party any confidential information, trade secrets, patents, patent applications, price decisions or determinations,
inventions, customers, proprietary information or other intellectual property rights of the Company, until after such time as such information has become publicly known otherwise than by act of
collusion of Employee. Employee further agrees that for a 12-month period commencing on the Termination Date, he/she will not solicit, recruit, or induce any employee of QRS Corporation to
terminate or alter his/her 

2

 

employment or consulting relationship with the Company. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that he/she has returned or will have returned all the Company's property and confidential and
proprietary information in his/her possession to the Company as of the Termination Date. 

        8.    Breach of this Agreement.    Employee acknowledges that breach of the confidential and proprietary information
provision contained in Section 8 of this Agreement would cause the Company to sustain irreparable harm from such breach, and, therefore, Employee agrees that in addition to any other remedies
which the Company may have for any breach of this Agreement or otherwise, including termination of the Company's obligations to provide Severance Pay and benefits to Employee as described in
Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief including specific performance and injunctions, restraining Employee from committing or continuing any such
violation of this Agreement. 

        9.    Authority.    The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the
Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that he/she has the capacity to act on his/her own
behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or
assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein. 

        10.    No Representations.    Each party represents that it has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of
the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement. 

        11.    Costs.    The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys' fees and other fees incurred in connection
with this Agreement. 

        12.    Severability.    In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. 

        13.    Arbitration.    The Parties shall attempt, to settle all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement
through good faith consultation. In the event no agreement can be reached on such dispute within fifteen (15) days after notification in writing by either Party to the other concerning such
dispute, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration to be conducted in San Francisco before the American Arbitration Association under its National Employment Dispute Resolution Rules, or by
a judge to be mutually agreed upon. The arbitration decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on both Parties and any arbitration award or decision may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The Parties
further agree that the prevailing party in any such proceeding shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury in regard to
claims arising out of this Agreement or the enforcement of this Agreement. 

        14.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and
Employee concerning Employee's separation from the Company and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning Employee's relationship with the Company and his/her
compensation by the Company other than the Confidentiality Agreement described above in Section 8. 

        15.    No Oral Modification.    This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by Employee and the Company.

        16.    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to
its conflict of laws provisions. 

        17.    Effective Date.    This Agreement shall be effective on the eighth day after it has been signed by the Employee
and the Employee has not revoked the Agreement as provided in Section 21 herein below. 

        18.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force
and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 

        19.    Assignment.    This Agreement may not be assigned by Employee or the Company without the prior written consent
of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company without the
consent of Employee. 

        20.    Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA.    Employee acknowledges that he/she is waiving and releasing

Exhibit 10.36  

 
 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT    
  

This
Consulting Agreement (this "Agreement") is effective as of May 14, 2002 (the "Effective
Date"), by and between QRS Corporation, a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at 1400 Marina Way South, Richmond, California 94804
("QRS" or "Company"), and Tania Amochaev (the
"Consultant"). 

	1.
	Nature of Engagement.    Consultant agrees to use her best efforts to perform, to the reasonable satisfaction of QRS, the
consulting and advisory services as reasonably requested, from time to time, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Services"). This
Agreement shall take effect immediately upon expiration of Consultant's term as a Director of the Company such that there will be no gap between Consultant's service to the Company as a Director and
her service to the Company as a Consultant. During the term of this Agreement and for six months thereafter, Consultant agrees not to perform similar services on behalf of any entity that is a direct
competitor of QRS.

	2.
	Compensation.    QRS and Consultant anticipate that Consultant will spend no more than four (4) hours per month
providing Services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that Consultant spends in excess of four hours during anyone month providing Services pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall be
compensated at an hourly rate of $150.00 per hour for any time spent in excess of four (4) hours per month. QRS and Consultant agree that the hourly rate or consulting fee for any significant
project or engagement (including any project or engagement requiring in excess of 10 hours per month) shall be separately negotiated by the parties.

	3.
	Medical Benefits.    During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will continue to be eligible for medical, dental and vision
insurance benefits under the Company-sponsored health insurance plan. Consultant shall reimburse QRS for the actual cost incurred by QRS for Consultant's participation in the Company-sponsored
medical, dental and vision insurance benefits. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to receive any benefits that may be available to her pursuant to
COBRA. The present monthly cost to QRS of making available medical, dental and vision benefits to Consultant is $1291.45.

	4.
	Stock Options.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Company's 1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan
(as amended and restated through May 14,2002, the "Plan") or in any stock option agreement by and between the Company and Consultant dated as of
the date of each grant of stock options by QRS to Consultant (collectively, the "Option Agreements"), for any and all stock options granted by QRS to
Consultant pursuant to the Plan (the "Options") that have not been exercised, the following shall govern as of the Effective Date:

	a)
	Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan or in any of the Option Agreements, the vesting of Consultant's option to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, pursuant to the Options dated January 2, 2001, July 26, 2001 and January 2, 2002 (collectively, the "Accelerated
Options"), shall be accelerated such that she shall be entitled to exercise such Accelerated Options for that number of shares that would have been vested if she had continued
to remain as an employee of QRS until August 31, 2003. For the sake of clarity, effective upon the execution of this Agreement (i) Consultant shall be entitled to purchase up to 19,166
shares of the Common Stock granted pursuant to the Accelerated Options, and (ii) the option to purchase the remaining 10,834 unvested shares shall immediately terminate as of the Effective
Date. The Allocation of the Accelerated Shares shall be as indicated on Exhibit "B" to this Agreement;

	b)
	Consultant
shall be entitled to exercise her vested Options up until and including ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the termination date of this Agreement or
(ii) August 20, 2003; and 

 

	c)
	Consultant
agrees to surrender and cancel: (i) the Options received by her in May 1999 to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$43.166667 and (ii) the Options received by her in January 2000 to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of$103.00. Consultant agrees to execute any
further documents required by the Company in order to effectuate the surrender and cancellation of such Options. 

Except
as modified herein, the terms of the Option Agreements remain in full force and effect. The provisions of this section 4 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

	5.
	Term and Termination.    This Agreement will terminate on August 20, 2003 and may thereafter be renewed or extended
only in a writing signed by Consultant and the Chief Executive Officer of QRS. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, upon thirty
(30) days written notice to the other party. All remedies available hereunder or in law or equity shall survive any termination.

	6.
	Independent Contractor Relationship.    In connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, Consultant shall not be
an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of QRS or any of its affiliates or any other person, entity or business with respect to which Consultant may render any consulting or advisory services
hereunder, but will act solely in the capacity of an independent contractor. Consultant shall not hold herself out as, or give any person, entity or business any reason to believe that Consultant is,
an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of QRS. Consultant shall not have any authority to negotiate or enter into any contract, or incur any obligation or otherwise make any binding agreement,
on behalf of or with respect to QRS.

	7.
	Consultant Responsible for all Taxes.    QRS will not withhold or make payments for state or federal income tax or social
security contributions, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers' compensation insurance on the Consultant's behalf. Consultant agrees to accept exclusive
liability for complying with all applicable laws governing self-employed individuals, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social security, disability and other contributions
based on the compensation paid to Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to indemnity, defend and hold QRS harmless against any and all claims or liabilities with respect to taxes and
contributions, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and attorneys' fees ("Tax Claims"), and such obligation shall survive the termination
or expiration of this Agreement. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in any case in which QRS makes a claim for indemnification hereunder but it is finally judicially determined
that such indemnification may not be enforced, then Consultant shall contribute that amount of the Tax Claims directly resulting from the Consultant's breach of obligations under this Agreement.

	8.
	No Conflicting Obligations.    Consultant represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement will not, directly or indirectly, result in any violation or breach of any agreement or other instrument to which Consultant is a party or by which Consultant is bound, or result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order judgment or decree (including any rule or regulation of a professional society or similar group) to which Consultant is subject. Among other things,
Consultant shall not disclose or otherwise make available to QRS in any manner any confidential information of Consultant or received by Consultant from third parties. Consultant further represents
and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and shall not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing or notification to, any
governmental or professional entity.

	9.
	Confidentiality.    Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of confidentiality and nondisclosure under the
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Agreement executed by Consultant (and attached hereto as Exhibit A) shall apply to any confidential and proprietary
information that Consultant receives or to which Consultant may be exposed during the course of the Consultant's 

2

 

performance
of this Agreement. The obligations of such Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Agreement shall survive any termination, expiration or suspension of this Agreement. 

	10.
	General.    This Agreement shall bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors, permitted assigns, executors and
administrators of both Consultant and QRS, and inure to the benefit of both Consultant and QRS, their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, as the case may be. This Agreement and the related
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Agreement constitute the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Consultant and QRS with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written
instrument executed by each party. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent reasonable and enforceable and the remainder of this Agreement shall
not be impaired or otherwise affected. A failure of either Consultant or QRS to enforce the provisions of the Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or of the right of
Consultant or QRS to enforce each and every such provision. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address set forth above or at such other address
as the party shall specify in writing. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute a11 effective,
binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF,    the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

EXHIBIT A  

         

  

 
 

CONFIDENTIALITY/NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT    
  

        This Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Agreement (this "Agreement") is effective and delivered as of the date set
forth below and is made by the undersigned, both in his or her individual capacity and on behalf of the entity, if any, that such person represents (such individual and entity collectively referred to
in the first person singular, i.e. "I" or "me"), in favor of, and for the benefit of,  QRS CORPORATION("QRS"). 

        In
the course of the discussions between QRS and me regarding a possible business relationship (and thereafter, during the performance of any such relationship), I recognize that certain
non-public, confidential and proprietary information may be furnished to me or my directors, officers, employees, affiliates, representatives (including, without limitation, my financial
advisors, attorneys and accountants) or agents (collectively, "my Representatives") by QRS or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates,
representatives (including, without limitation, QRS's financial advisors, attorneys and accountants) or agents (collectively, "QRS's Representatives").
Such information ("Confidential Information") includes any oral or written non-public information furnished by QRS or QRS's Representatives
(or that may otherwise be obtained by me from a walk-through inspection of QRS's facilities), whether before, on or after the date hereof, regardless of the manner in which it is
furnished, to me or my Representatives, together with all analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by me or my Representatives, which contain or reflect any such
information of a business or technical nature, including, without limitation, inventions, trade secrets, ideas,
processes, formulas, works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques, software designs and development technology, as well as information
regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, and suppliers and customers. 

        I
agree that any Confidential Information received shall be held in strict confidence by me and my Representatives; shall be used by me and my Representations only in connection with
evaluating the proposed business relationship referred to above; shall not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, by me or my Representatives to anyone except my Representatives who have agreed in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and who need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating the proposed business relationship; and shall not be disclosed,
directly or indirectly, to third parties without the prior written consent of QRS. Among other things, I shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or otherwise use any Confidential Information in
deciding to (or advising others to) buy, sell or otherwise deal in securities of QRS. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I shall exercise no less care to safeguard the Confidential
Information than I exercise in safeguarding my own non-public, confidential and proprietary information. In addition, I shall not, without the prior written consent of QRS, disclose to any
third party the fact that Confidential Information has been made available or that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning a possible business relationship. I will cause my
Representatives to observe the terms of this Agreement, and I will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of my Representatives. I shall promptly notify QRS of any breach of this
Agreement by me or my Representatives of which I become aware, and shall cooperate fully in pursuing any lawful remedies therefor. 

        The
foregoing restrictions on my disclosure and use of Confidential Information shall not apply to the extent that such information: (a) is or becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of a disclosure by me or my Representatives, (b) was available to me on a non-confidential basis 

4

 

prior to its disclosure by QRS or QRS's Representatives, as evidenced by my records, or (c) becomes available to me on a non-confidential basis from a person other than QRS or
QRS's Representatives who is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with QRS or any of QRS's Representatives, or is not otherwise under an obligation to QRS or any of QRS's Representatives not to
transmit the information to me; provided, however, that I shall have the burden of proof respecting any of the aforementioned events on which I rely as
relieving me of any restrictions hereunder, and provided further, that in the case of (a) and/or (c) above, the removal of restrictions shall be effective only as of the date of
occurrence of the applicable event. 

        In
the event that I or any of my Representatives am or is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any Confidential
Information, I agree that I will provide QRS with prompt written notice of such request or requirement in order to enable QRS to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, to consult with
me with respect to QRS's taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement. If no such
protective order or other remedy is obtained or QRS waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, I or my Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which I
am reasonably advised by counsel is legally required and I will use my reasonable best efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information and other information that is so disclosed will be accorded
confidential treatment. 

        The
furnishing of Confidential Information shall not constitute or be construed as a grant of any express or implied license or other right, or a covenant not to sue or forbearance from
any other right of action (except as to permitted activities hereunder), by QRS to me or my Representatives under any of QRS's patents or other intellectual property rights. 

        If
I decide not to proceed with the proposed business relationship, or at any time upon QRS's request, I shall promptly destroy (providing written confirmation of such destruction) or
return all written, graphic or other tangible forms of the Confidential Information and all copies thereof, except for one copy which may be retained for record retention purposes only and shall
remain subject to the disclosure and use restrictions of this Agreement. Any oral Confidential Information will continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

        I
acknowledge and agree that none of QRS or any of QRS's Representatives makes any express or implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential
Information, and I agree that no such person or entity shall have any liability to me as a result of the use of the Confidential Information by me or any of my Representatives, it being understood
that only those specific representations and warranties which may be made in a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed business relationship when, as and if such an agreement is executed
shall have any legal effect. It is similarly understood that this Agreement does not contain all matters upon which agreement must be reached in order for the proposed business relationship to be
consummated and, therefore, QRS is not in any way bound hereunder with respect to the proposed business relationship. 

        I
understand and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that QRS shall be entitled to equitable relief (including, but not limited
to, an injunction or specific performance) without proof of actual damages in the event of any breach by me or my Representatives of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event of litigation
relating to this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that this Agreement has been breached by me or my Representatives, then I will reimburse QRS for its costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such litigation. I hereby (a) submit to the jurisdiction of any federal court sitting in San
Francisco, California or any state court sitting in Contra Costa County, California with respect to all actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (although QRS reserves the
right to bring such action or proceeding in any other jurisdiction to which I am subject), (b) agree that all claims with respect to any 

5

 

such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (c) waive the defense of an inconvenient forum, (d) consent to service of process upon me by mailing or delivering
such service to me at my principal business address as of the date hereof, and (e) agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

        This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. This Agreement contains the entire
