        the
        Board, during the Employment Term, render services of a business, professional
        or commercial nature to any other person, firm or corporation, whether for
        compensation or otherwise, except that Executive may engage in civic,
        philanthropic and community service activities so long as such activities
        do not
        materially interfere with Executive’s ability to comply with this Agreement and
        are not otherwise in conflict with the policies or interest of the Company,
        and
        Executive may serve on the board of directors of two companies without Company
        approval.

        plan, liability insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, dental

        or officer of the Company or serves or served any other entity in any capacity
        at the Company's request, Executive shall be indemnified by the Company,
        and the

        During the

        respect to Executive, the Severance Plan (or an applicable successor plan),
        as
        amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. The Severance
        Plan shall control the compensation and benefits to be received by Executive

        option or restricted stock grant was granted.

       

      6.3 Supplemental
        Retirement Program.
        The Company shall
        establish for Executive and make contributions to fund an additional defined
        contribution supplemental retirement program (the “SRIP”),
        designed to
        provide Executive with a retirement annuity, at age 65, in an amount, taken
        together with other pension, retirement and social security benefits to which
        Executive may be entitled at age 65, equal to the greater of: (i) 35% of
        his
        average compensation from Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the three years
        prior
        to Executive reaching age 65, or (ii) 40% of his average compensation from
        Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the three years prior to December 31, 2010
        (which average shall in no event be less than his average compensation from
        Base
        Salary and Annual Bonus for the three years prior to Executive reaching age
        65).
        The SRIP shall be based on the assumptions set forth on Schedule 1 to this
        Agreement. The annual contribution shall be calculated each year, and Executive
        acknowledges that the amount of the contribution will likely be different
        from
        the amounts shown in Schedule 1. Executive further acknowledges that the
        contribution will vary based on the performance of the Company and whether
        Executive meets or exceeds targeted bonus levels under the Annual Bonus Plan.
        LTIP participation shall not be included in calculating average compensation
        above.

        in accordance with the terms of the LTIP, accrued benefits under the SRIP

        the event that Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to this
        Section 7.2, Executive shall receive payment for any earned and unpaid Base
        Salary, a pro-rata amount of the annual bonus that Executive would be

        Except
        as required by law,
        after
        the Date of Termination, no other compensation of any kind or severance or
        other
        payment of any kind or payment in lieu of notice shall be payable by the

      7.3 Voluntary
        Termination.
        Executive
        may
        voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company at any time upon 90
        days'
        prior written notice. The Company may accelerate the termination of Executive's
        employment and the right to any further compensation to a date prior to the
        90th
        day upon written notice thereof being delivered to Executive by the Company.
        In
        the event that Executive's employment is terminated under this Section 7.3,
        Executive shall receive payment for any earned and unpaid Base Salary, and
        benefits the Executive is entitled to receive under the employee benefit
        plans
        of the Company, but excluding bonuses otherwise payable under the Company's
        Annual Bonus Plan, less standard withholdings for tax and social security
        purposes, through the Date of Termination. Except
        as required
        by law,
        after
        the Date of Termination the Company shall have no further obligation to pay
        any
        compensation of any kind or severance payment of any kind nor to make any
        further payment in lieu of notice to Executive. 

       

      7.4 Termination
        for
        Cause.
        The Board may
        terminate Executive's employment with the Company at any time for Cause.
        In the
        event that Executive's employment is terminated under this Section 7.4,
        Executive shall receive payment for all earned but unpaid Base Salary, and
        benefits the Executive is then entitled to receive under the employee benefit
        plans of the Company, but excluding bonuses otherwise payable under the
        Company's Annual Bonus Plan, less standard withholdings for tax and social
        security purposes, through the Date of Termination. Except
        as required
        by law,
        after
        the Date of Termination the Company shall have no further obligation to pay
        any
        severance or compensation of any kind nor to make any payment in lieu of
        notice
        to Executive. Except as required by law, all benefits provided by the Company
        to
        Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall cease as of the Date of
        Termination. 

       

      7.5 Termination
        Without Cause.
        The Company may,
        at any time and without prior written notice, terminate Executive without
        Cause.
        In the event that Executive's employment with the Company is terminated without
        Cause, Executive shall receive payment for all earned but unpaid Base Salary,
        and benefits the Executive is then entitled to receive under benefit plans
        of
        the Company, if any, less standard withholdings for tax and social security
        purposes, through the Date of Termination. In addition, provided that Executive
        executes a release of claims against the Company (in a form reasonably
        satisfactory to the Company) and such release becomes effective, Executive
        shall
        receive (i) within 75 days payment in a lump sum of an amount equal to the
        then current Base Salary through December 31, 2010; (ii) payment of the
        amount of the Annual Bonus that Executive would be eligible to receive under
        the
        Company's Bonus Plan for the year in which the termination occurs; (iii)
        payment
        of amounts accrued under the LTIP in accordance with the terms of the LTIP;
        (iv)
        assuming Executive is eligible and elects COBRA, payment on Executive's behalf
        of monthly continuation premiums for health insurance under Federal or State
        COBRA for a period of 18 months following the Date of Termination; (v)
        acceleration of the vesting of a portion of any unvested stock options in
        the
        amount that would
        have become
        vested on or before December 31, 2010; (vi) payment to Executive’s account under
        the SRIP of the annual contribution to the SRIP for the calendar year in
        which
        the termination occurs; and (vii) payment of an additional contribution to
        the SRIP in an amount necessary to ensure that the anticipated target benefit
        provided to Executive under the SRIP (i.e.
        the greater of
        35% of his average compensation from Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the
        three
        years prior to Executive reaching age 65 or 40% of his average compensation
        from
        Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the last three years prior to December 31,
        2010
        (which average compensation shall in no event be less than his average
        compensation from Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the three years prior
        to
        Executive reaching age 65)) is fully funded as of the date of such termination.
        No other compensation of any kind or severance or other payment of any kind
        shall be payable by the Company to Executive after such Date of Termination.
        Except as specifically provided in this Section 7.5 and except as required
        by
        law, all benefits provided by the Company to Executive under this Agreement
        or
        otherwise shall cease as of the Date of Termination.

      7.6 Termination
        for
        Good Reason.
        Notwithstanding
        anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, Executive may voluntarily terminate
        his employment with the Company and receive the benefits detailed in Section
        7.5
        (as if there had been a termination by the Company without Cause) upon or
        within
        180 days following the occurrence of an event constituting Good Reason, subject
        to, as applicable, Executive’s execution of the effective release of claims
        described in Section 7.5.

       

      7.7 Termination
        Following a Change in Control.
        If the employment
        of Executive is terminated within the period commencing 3 months prior to
        a
        Change in Control and ending 3 years following a Change in Control, the
        provisions of this Section 7 shall not apply and all payments shall be made
        in
        accordance with the provisions of the Severance Plan, except that in the
        event
        such termination occurs as a result of a termination of employment by the
        Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, provided that Executive
        executes a release of claims against the Company (in a form reasonably
        satisfactory to the Company) and such release becomes effective, Executive
        shall
        also be entitled to (i) payment of the annual contribution to the SRIP for
        the calendar year in which the termination occurs and (ii) payment of an
        additional contribution to the SRIP in an amount necessary to ensure that
        the
        anticipated target benefit provided to Executive under the SRIP (i.e.
        the greater of
        35% of his average compensation from Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the
        three
        years prior to Executive reaching age 65 or 40% of his average compensation
        from
        Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the last three years prior to December 31,
        2010
        (which average compensation shall in no event be less than his average
        compensation from Base Salary and Annual Bonus for the three years prior
        to
        Executive reaching age 65)) is fully funded as of the date of such termination.
        For the avoidance of any doubt, the vesting of any stock option or restricted
        stock grant shall be governed by the award agreement pursuant to which such
        stock option or restricted stock grant was granted.

       

      7.8 Certain
        Definitions.
        For purposes of
        this Agreement, the following term shall have the meanings set forth
        below.

       

      (a) “Cause”
shall
        mean that
        Executive shall: (i) commit an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation
        involving the Company; (ii) be convicted by a court of competent
        jurisdiction of, or enter a plea of guilty of no contest to, any felony
        involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; (iii) commit an act, or fail to
        commit
        an act, involving the Company which amounts to, or with the passage of time
        would amount to, willful misconduct, gross negligence or a breach of this
        Agreement and which results or will result in material harm to the Company,
        if
        such act is not corrected within 30 days following receipt written notice
        thereof from the Company; or (iv) willfully fail to perform the responsibilities
        and duties specified herein for a period of 30 days following receipt of
        written
        notice from the Company which specifically describes past instances of willful
        failure of performance; provided that in the case of (iv) above, during the
        30-day period following receipt of such notice, Executive shall be given
        the
        opportunity to take reasonable steps to cure any such claimed past failure
        of
        performance; provided, however, that Executive shall not be deemed to have
        been
        terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
        Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of
        not
        less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting
        of
        the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive
        and an opportunity for Executive, together with Executive 's counsel, to
        be
        heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board
        Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth above and specifying the
        particulars thereof in detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall
        have the right to contest his termination for Cause (for purposes of this
        Agreement) by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this
        Agreement.

      (b) “Date
        of
        Termination”
shall
        mean
        (i) if Executive is terminated by the Company for Disability, thirty (30)
        days after written notice of such termination is given to Executive (provided
        that Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on
        a
        full-time basis during such 30-day period); (ii) if Executive's employment
        is terminated by the Company for any other reason, the date on which a written
        notice of termination is given, provided that, in the case of a termination
        for
        Cause, Executive shall not have cured the matter or matters stated in the
        notice
        of termination within the 30-day notice period provided in Section 7.8(a)
        above;
        (iii) if Executive terminates employment for Good Reason, the date of
        Executive's resignation, provided that the notice and cure provisions in
        Section
        7.8(d) have been complied with; (iv) if Executive terminates employment for
        other than Good Reason, the date specified in Executive's notice in compliance
        with Section 7.3; or (v) in the event of Executive's death, the date of
        death.

       

      (c) “Disability”
shall
        mean a
        physical or mental disability that renders Executive unable, as determined
        in
        good faith by a licensed physician, to perform the essential functions of
        his
        position, even with reasonable accommodation, for 180 days within any 12-month
        period. The Company and Executive or his legal representative shall use their
        best efforts to agree on the physician to determine disability. If they cannot
        agree within ten (10) days after the first party makes a written proposal
        stating the name of a physician, then the other party shall select a physician
        within 10 days and within 10 days thereafter the two physicians shall select
        a
        third physician. All such physicians must be board certified in the medical
        area
        giving rise to the alleged disability. The determination of the third physician
        shall be final and binding. If one party fails to select a physician within
        the
        10-day period, the physician named by the other party shall make the
        determination of disability.

      (d) “Good
        Reason”
shall
        mean
        Executive's resignation from employment within 180 days after the occurrence
        of

        Executive’s express written consent, provided, however, that Executive must
        provide written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days after the
        occurrence of the event allegedly constituting Good Reason, and the Company
        shall have thirty (30) days after such notice is given to cure: 

       

      (i)
        a change of
        Executive's title as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or a material

        Company of duties inconsistent with his position as Chairman and Chief Executive
        Officer; 

       

      (ii)

        Bonus
        Plan or a material reduction in the benefits provided under other employee
        benefit plans described in this Agreement;

        by Executive, except for reasonably required travel by Executive on the
        Company's business; 

       

      (iv)
        any material
        breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any other material
        agreement between the Company or any subsidiary and Executive; or 

       

      (v)
        the failure by
        the Company or by any successor or assign of the Company (whether by operation
        of law or otherwise, including any surviving company in a merger or similar
        transaction involving the Company), within ten business days following a
        Change
        in Control, to deliver to Executive an agreement expressly reaffirming its
        obligations under or agreeing to assume and comply with the obligations of
        the
        Company under this Agreement.

       

      7.9 Code
        Section
        409A.
        Notwithstanding
        anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Board determines,
        in its
        sole discretion, (a) at the time of Executive’s termination of employment
        with the Company, he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
        and
        (b) that any payment or benefit to be provided under Section 7 to or for
        the benefit of Executive would be subject to the additional tax imposed under
        Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or a successor or comparable provision
        if paid
        at the time such payments and benefits are otherwise required under this
        Agreement, the commencement of such payments and/or benefits shall be delayed
        until the earlier of (i) the date that is six months following the Date of
        Termination or (ii) the date of Executive's death; provided, however, that
        an amount equal to the lesser of two times (x) annual compensation or (y)
        the
        limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) shall not be subject to the delay described
        in the previous clause and instead shall be paid out as otherwise
        scheduled.

        and Representations.
        Executive hereby
        represents and warrants to the Company that he is not now under any obligation
        of a contractual or quasi-contractual nature known to him that is inconsistent

        the
        performance by Executive of his obligations hereunder; and has been or has
        had

        modification or waiver shall be agreed to in writing and signed by Executive
        and
        a duly authorized officer of the Company.

       

      10.3 Severability.
        The provisions of
        this Agreement are severable and in the event that a court of competent
        jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is in violation
        of any
        law or public policy, in whole or in part, only the portions of this Agreement
        that violate such law or public policy shall be stricken. All portions of
        this
        Agreement that do not violate any statute or public policy shall not be affected
        thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Further, any court order
        striking any portion of this Agreement shall modify the stricken terms as
        narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible to the intentions
        of the
        parties under this Agreement.

      10.4 Assignment.
        No right to or
        interest in any payments shall be assignable by either party; provided; however,
        that this provision shall not preclude Executive from designating one or
        more
        beneficiaries to receive any amount that may be payable after his death and
        shall not preclude his executor or administrator from assigning any right
        hereunder to the person or persons entitled hereto. Further, the Company
        may
        assign this Agreement: (a) to an affiliate so long as such affiliate assumes
        the
        Company's obligations hereunder, or (b) in connection with a merger or
        consolidation involving the Company or a sale of substantially all its assets
        or
        shares to the surviving corporation or purchaser as the case may be so long
        as
        such assignee assumes the Company's obligations hereunder.

       

      10.5 Successors
        and
        Assigns.
        This Agreement
        and the obligations of the Company and Executive hereunder shall be binding
        upon
        and shall be assumed by their respective successors including, without
        limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring the Company, whether
        by
        merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise.

       

      10.6 Governing
        Law.
        The validity,
        interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed
        by the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of
        conflict of laws thereof.

       

      10.7 Attorney's
        Fees
        and Costs.
        If any action at
        law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this
        Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys'
        fees,
        costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which
        that
        party may be entitled. This provision shall be construed as applicable to
        the
        entire contract.

        employee or representative of the Company has any authority to make any
        representation or promise in connection with this Agreement or the subject
        matter hereto which is not contained herein, and Executive agrees that he
        has
        not executed this Agreement in reliance upon any such representation or
        promise.

       

      10.9 Interpretation
        of Agreement.
        Each of the
        parties has been represented by counsel in the negotiation and preparation
        of
        this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement is to be construed
        as
        jointly drafted. Accordingly, this Agreement will be construed according
        to the
        fair meaning of its language, and the rule of construction that ambiguities
        are
        to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the
        interpretation of this Agreement.

       

      10.10 Headings.
        The headings of
        sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference
        and
        shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions

        Agreement.

       

      10.11 Entire
        Agreement.
        This document
        constitutes the entire understanding and Agreement of the parties with respect
        to the subject matter of this Agreement, and any and all prior agreements,
        understandings and representations are hereby terminated and cancelled in
        their
        entirety and are of no further force or effect.

      10.12 Counterparts.
        This Agreement
        may be executed in two or more counterparts with the same effect as if the
        signatures to all such counterparts was upon the same instrument, and all
        such
        counterparts shall constitute but one instrument.

       

      10.13 No
        Mitigation of
        Damages.
        Executive shall
        not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided
        for
        under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall
        the
        amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any
        compensation earned by Executive as a result of employment by another employer
        or by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination, except as specifically
        provided hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided
        for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any
        way
        diminish the Executive's then existing rights, or rights which would accrue
        solely as a result of the passage of time, under any Company benefit plan
        or
        other contract, plan or arrangement.

       

      10.14 Dispute
        Resolution and Binding Arbitration.
        Executive and the
        Company agree that in the event a dispute arises concerning or relating to
        Executive's employment with the Company, or any termination therefrom, such
        dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the
        employment arbitration rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services
        (“JAMS”)
        by a single
        impartial arbitrator experienced in employment law selected as follows: if
        the
        Company and Executive are unable to agree upon an impartial arbitrator within
        ten (10) days of a request for arbitration, the parties shall request a panel
        of
        employment arbitrators from JAMS and alternatively strike names until a single
        arbitrator remains. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco,
        California, and both Executive and the Company agree to submit to the
        jurisdiction of the arbitrator selected in accordance with JAMS' rules and
        procedures. Executive and the Company further agree that arbitration as provided
        for in this section will be the exclusive and
        binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any court
        action, which is hereby expressly waived, except for any request by either
        party
        hereto for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief pending arbitration
        in
        accordance with applicable law, or an administrative claim with an
        administrative agency. The parties further agree
        that the award of
        the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties. The arbitrator
        shall
        have discretion to award monetary and other damages, or no damages, and to
        fashion such other relief as the arbitrator deems appropriate. The Company
        will
        be responsible for paying any filing fees and costs of the arbitration
        proceeding itself (for example, arbitrators' fees, conference room,
        transcripts), but each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys'
        fees.
        THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE,
        THEY ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN A COURT
        OF
        LAW, EITHER STATE OR FEDERAL, AND ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE CLAIMS AND
        DAMAGES, IF ANY, DETERMINED BY A JURY.

                following:

            

    

     

    7.4 Termination
      Without Cause.
      The Company may,
      at any time and without prior written notice, terminate Executive without Cause.
      In the event that Executive's employment with the Company is terminated without
      Cause, Executive shall receive payment for all earned but unpaid Base Salary,
      and benefits the Executive is then entitled to receive under benefit plans
      of
      the Company, if any, less standard withholdings for tax and social security
      purposes, through the Date of Termination. In addition, provided that Executive
      executes a release of claims against the Company (in a form reasonably
      satisfactory to the Company) and such release becomes effective, Executive
      shall
      receive (i) within 75 days payment in a lump sum of an amount equal to the
      then current Base Salary through December 31, 2010; (ii) payment of the
      amount of the Annual Bonus that Executive would be eligible to receive under
      the
      Company's Bonus Plan for the year in which the termination occurs; (iii) payment
      of amounts accrued under the LTIP in accordance with the terms of the
      LTIP, as
      modified by
      Section 3.4(d) hereof; (iv) assuming Executive is eligible and elects COBRA,
      payment on Executive's behalf of monthly continuation premiums for health
      insurance under Federal or State COBRA for a period of 18 months following
      the
      Date of Termination; (v) acceleration of the vesting of a portion of any
      unvested stock options in the amount that would
      have become
      vested on or before December 31, 2010; (vi) benefits under the SERP,
      provided that Executive shall become fully vested in his benefits under the
      SERP
      upon termination pursuant to this Section 7.4; (vii) the benefits provided
      for
      in Sections 3.7 and 3.8 hereof; (viii) payment of the Equity Bonus as provided
      in Section 3.4 hereof, provided that Executive shall become fully vested in
      his
      benefits under Section 3.4 upon termination pursuant to this Section 7.4, and
      (ix) any other benefits that Executive is entitled to receive as of the
      Date of Termination under applicable benefit plans of the Company, less standard
      withholdings for tax and social security purposes. No other compensation of
      any
      kind or severance or other payment of any kind shall be payable by the Company
      to Executive after such Date of Termination. Except as specifically provided
      in
      this Section 7.5 and except as required by law, all benefits provided by the
      Company to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall cease as of the
      Date of Termination.

                of the Agreement is hereby amended to add to the end thereof the
                phrase “,
                subject to, as applicable, Executive’s execution of the effective release
                of claims described in Section
                7.4.”

    (d) "Good
      Reason"
      shall mean
      Executive's resignation from employment within 180 days after the occurrence
      of
      one of the following events enumerated in this Section 7.6(d) without
      Executive’s express written consent, provided, however, that Executive must
      provide written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days after the
      occurrence of the event allegedly constituting Good Reason, and the Company
      shall have thirty (30) days after such notice is given to cure:

                11.15
                of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with

                First
                Amendment):

            

    

     

    12.14 Dispute
      Resolution and Binding Arbitration.
      Executive and the
      Company agree that in the event a dispute arises concerning or relating to
      Executive's employment with the Company, or any termination therefrom, such
      dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the
      employment arbitration rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services
      ("JAMS")
      by a single
      impartial arbitrator experienced in employment law selected as follows: if
      the
      Company and Executive are unable to agree upon an impartial arbitrator within
      ten (10) days of a request for arbitration, the parties shall request a panel
      of
      employment arbitrators from JAMS and alternatively strike names until a single
      arbitrator remains. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco,
      California, and both Executive and the Company agree to submit to the
      jurisdiction of the arbitrator selected in accordance with JAMS' rules and
      procedures. Executive and the Company further agree that arbitration as provided
      for in this section will be the exclusive and
      binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any court
      action, which is hereby expressly waived, except for any request by either
      party
      hereto for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief pending arbitration in
      accordance with applicable law, or an administrative claim with an
      administrative agency. The parties further agree
      that the award of
      the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties. The arbitrator shall
      have discretion to award monetary and other damages, or no damages, and to
      fashion such other relief as the arbitrator deems appropriate. The Company
      will
      be responsible for paying any filing fees and costs of the arbitration
      proceeding itself (for example, arbitrators' fees, conference room,
      transcripts), but each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys' fees.
      THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE,
      THEY ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO BRING AN ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER IN A COURT
      OF
      LAW, EITHER STATE OR FEDERAL, AND ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE CLAIMS AND
      DAMAGES, IF ANY, DETERMINED BY A JURY.

                in this
                Second Amendment, remain in full force and
