        In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and in
consideration of the continuing employment of the Employee by the Company, the
parties agree as follows:

    1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Company shall employ the Employee in
the position of Executive Vice-President, Business Development, reporting to the
Company's Executive Vice President, CFO and assuming and discharging such
responsibilities as are commensurate with such position. The Employee shall
comply with and be bound by the Company's operating policies, procedures and
practices from time to time in effect during his employment. During the
Employee's employment with the Company, the Employee shall devote his full time,
skill and attention to his duties and responsibilities, and shall perform them
faithfully, diligently and competently, and the Employee shall use his best
efforts to further the Company's business.

    2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement shall become effective as of the
Effective Date, and shall supersede and replace the Letter Agreement, which
shall be void and of no further effect. This Agreement and the Employee's
employment with the Company shall continue until terminated by reason of the
Employee's death or by either party at any time, with or without notice, for any
or no reason. The parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is an "at
will" agreement and that no implied covenant or standard of practice will cause
this Agreement to have any minimum period of employment.

    3. BASE COMPENSATION. For all services to be rendered by the Employee to the
Company while this Agreement is in effect, the Employee shall receive a minimum
annual base salary of $200,000, payable in accordance with the Company's
standard payroll practices. Currently the Employee's salary is reduced as a
result of a company-wide salary reduction program. The Employee's base salary
shall be

<PAGE>

reviewed at least annually by the Company's Executive Vice President, CFO. The
annual base salary specified in this Section 3, as such base salary may be
increased during the term of this Agreement, is referred to herein as "Base
Compensation."

    4. ANNUAL INCENTIVE. For each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement,
the Employee shall be eligible to receive additional cash compensation ("Annual
Incentive") under the Company's annual variable compensation plan based upon
specific financial and/or other targets approved by senior management and/or the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Unless the Company determines
otherwise, the Employee's Annual Incentive shall be an amount equal to a
predetermined percentage of his Base Compensation. Any Annual Incentive
compensation that becomes payable to the Employee shall be paid in accordance
with the Company's standard practices and policies.

    5. OTHER BENEFITS. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in the
employee benefit plans and programs that the Company makes available to its
senior executives, subject to the rules and the regulations applicable thereto.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and
programs it offers to its senior executives at any time. The Employee will be
eligible for vacation and sick leave in accordance with the policies in effect
for senior executives during the term of this Agreement. The Company shall
reimburse the Employee for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by
the Employee in the performance of his services on behalf of the Company,
subject to and in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policy as
from time to time in effect.

    6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

           (a) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR FOR CONSTRUCTIVE REASON. If the
Company terminates the Employee's employment other than for "Cause," or if the
Employee terminates his employment for a "Constructive Reason" (as those terms
are defined in Section 8), then, in addition to any other amounts to which the
Employee is entitled: (i) the Company shall continue to pay the Employee his
Base Compensation for a period of six (6) months after the termination date;
(ii) the Company shall continue to provide the Employee with the same health,
dental and vision benefits as provided to the Employee immediately prior to such
termination or the after-tax cash equivalent, (provided that such amount is
sufficient for the Employee to purchase his own policy), for so long as the
Employee is entitled to continuation of Base Compensation as provided herein,
provided that such coverage shall become secondary if the Employee receives
coverage from a subsequent employer, (iii) the Company shall pay to the Employee
all amounts of unpaid Base Compensation and prorate any earned but unpaid Annual
Incentive, reimburse all reasonable business-related expenses and pay all other
benefits required by law or by the terms of the applicable plan or benefit
program, and (iv) except as otherwise provided under Section 7(a) below with
respect to a termination in connection with a Change of Control, the Employee
shall immediately vest an additional 12 months of his then unvested Company
stock and Company stock options. All options and grants, to the extent
unexercised and exercisable by the Employee on the date on which the Employee's
Service is terminated, may be exercised by the Employee within six (6) months
(or such other longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its sole
discretion) after the date on which the Employee's Service terminated, but in
any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

           (b) TERMINATION AS A RESULT OF DEATH; DISABILITY. In the event of the
Employee's death or by reason of the Employee's "Disability," (as such terms are
defined in Section 8), during the term of this Agreement, then (i) the Company
shall pay the Employee or to the representative of the Employee's estate all
amounts of unpaid Base Compensation and any earned but unpaid Annual Incentive,
reimburse

<PAGE>

all reasonable business-related expenses and pay all other benefits required by
law or by the terms of the applicable plan or benefit program, (ii) 12 months of
the Employee's then unvested Company stock and Company stock options shall vest,
and (iii) in the event of disability, the Company shall continue to pay the
Employee his Base Compensation for a period of six (6) months after the
termination date, less any disability payments made by the Company or its
insurance carriers. All options, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on
the date on which the Employee's Service is terminated, may be exercised by the
Employee's guardian or legal representative at any time prior to the expiration
of 12 months after the date on which the Employee's Service terminated, but in
any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

           (c) VOLUNTARY TERMINATION; TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event the
Employee's employment with the Company terminates either (i) voluntarily by the
Employee without a "Constructive Reason," (ii) involuntarily by the Company for
"Cause," then the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder except to
pay to the Employee all amounts of unpaid Base Compensation and any earned but
unpaid Annual Incentive, reimburse all reasonable business-related expenses and
pay all other benefits required by law or by the terms of the applicable plan or
benefit program.

    7. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

           (a) ACCELERATED VESTING. Upon a "Change of Control" (as defined in
Section 8), the Employee shall immediately vest an additional 12 months of his
then unvested Company stock and Company stock options. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, in the event (i) the Company terminates the Employee's employment
other than for Cause, or (ii) the Employee terminates his employment for a
Constructive Reason, in either case during the period beginning three (3) months
prior to a Change of Control, then upon such termination the Employee shall vest
an additional 12 months of his then unvested Company stock and Company stock
options.

    8. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

           (a) CAUSE. "Cause" means: (i) the Employee's willful and repeated
failure to comply with the lawful written direction of Management; (ii) the
Employee's gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance his duties,
after receiving written notice; or (iii) the conviction of/or entry of a plea of
nolo contendre or guilty to a felony or a crime causing demonstrable material
harm to the Company.

           (b) CHANGE OF CONTROL.  "Change of Control" means:

               (i) Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or
more of the total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding
voting securities; or

               (ii) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a
three-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors
are "Incumbent Directors." "Incumbent Directors" shall mean directors who either
(A) are directors of the Company as of January 1, 2002, or (B) are elected, or
nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a
majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination
(but shall not include an individual

<PAGE>

whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy
contest relating to the election of directors of the Company); or

               (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately
prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity (or parent
thereof)) at least sixty percent (60%) of the total voting power represented by
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity (or parent)
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided, however,
that any person who acquired securities of the Company prior to the occurrence
of a merger or consolidation in contemplation of such transaction, and who after
such transaction possesses direct or indirect beneficial ownership of at least
ten percent (10%) of the securities of the Company or the surviving entity (or
parent) immediately following such transaction, shall not be included in the
group of shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; or

               (iv) The consummation of the sale, lease or other disposition by
the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

           (c) CONSTRUCTIVE REASON. "Constructive Reason" means the occurrence
of any one or more of the following without the Employee's prior written
consent: (i) A material adverse change in the Employee's position that causes it
to be of less stature or of less responsibility; provided, however, that if
after a Change of Control the Employee is still a senior business development
executive of the Company and the Company continues to operate as an independent
subsidiary or independent controlled affiliate, then no Constructive Reason
shall have occurred; (ii) A change in the position to whom the Employee reports;
provided, however, that if after a Change of Control the Employee reports to the
Company's Business Development Vice President or Operations General Manager
and/or the Company continues to operate as an independent subsidiary or
independent controlled affiliate, then no Constructive Reason shall have
occurred; (iii) A reduction of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Employee's

               This provision applies only if the Employee elects to terminate
his employment within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Constructive
Reason.

           (d) DISABILITY. "Disability" means that the Employee has been unable
to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement as a result of his
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least 90
days after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a
physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Employee
or the Employee's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not
to be unreasonably withheld).

    9. SUCCESSORS.

           (a) COMPANY'S SUCCESSORS. Any successor, whether direct or indirect
and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise,
to all or substantially all of the Company's business and/or assets shall assume
the obligations under this Agreement and shall perform the obligations under
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would

<PAGE>

be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. Other
than for purposes of Section 8(c) (the definition of "Constructive Reason"), the
term "Company" shall include any such successor to the Company's business and/or
assets.

           (b) EMPLOYEE'S SUCCESSORS. The terms of this Agreement and all rights
of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,

        4. Intellectual Property Rights.

            4.1 Disclosure and Assignment of Innovations.

                (a) Innovations; Company Innovations. "Innovations" includes
processes, machines, compositions of matter, improvements, inventions (whether
or not protectable under patent laws), works of authorship, information fixed in
any tangible medium of expression (whether or not protectable under copyright
laws), moral rights, mask works, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, trade
secrets, know-how, ideas (whether or not protectable under trade secret laws),
and all other subject matter protectable under patent, copyright, moral right,
mask work, trademark, trade secret or other laws, and includes without
limitation all new or useful art, combinations, discoveries, formulae,
manufacturing techniques, technical developments, discoveries, artwork,
software, and designs. "Company Innovations" are Innovations that Consultant,
solely or jointly with others, conceives, reduces to practice, creates, derives,
develops or makes within the scope of Consultant's work for Company under this
Agreement.

                (b) Disclosure and Ownership of Company Innovations. Consultant
agrees to make and maintain adequate and current records of all Company
Innovations, which records shall be and remain the property of Company.
Consultant agrees to promptly disclose to Company every Company Innovation.
Consultant hereby does and will assign to Company or Company's designee
Consultant's entire worldwide right, title and interest in and to all Company
Innovations and all associated records and intellectual property rights.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the assignment of Company Innovations set forth in
this Agreement does not apply to an Innovation which qualifies as a
nonassignable invention under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California
Labor Code

                (c) Assistance. Consultant agrees to execute upon Company's
request a signed transfer of Company Innovations to Company as reasonably
requested by Company, including but not limited to computer programs, notes,
sketches, drawings and reports. Consultant agrees to assist Company in any
reasonable manner to obtain, perfect and enforce, for Company's benefit,
Company's rights, title and interest in any and all countries, in and to all
patents, copyrights, moral rights, mask works, trade secrets, and other property
rights in each of the Company Innovations. Consultant agrees to execute, when
requested, for each of the Company Innovations (including derivative works,
improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisionals, continuations in
part, or continuing patent applications thereof), (i) patent, copyright, mask
work or similar applications related to such Company Innovation, (ii)
documentation (including without limitation assignments) to permit Company to
obtain, perfect and enforce Company's right, title and interest in and to such
Company Innovation, and (iii) any other lawful documents deemed necessary by
Company to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. If called upon to render
assistance under this paragraph, Consultant will be entitled to a fair and
reasonable fee in addition to reimbursement of authorized expenses incurred at
the prior written request of Company. In the event that Company is unable for
any reason to secure Consultant's signature to any document Consultant is
required to execute under this Paragraph 4.1(c) ("Assistance"), Consultant
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and Company's duly authorized
officers and agents as Consultant's agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and
in Consultant's behalf and instead of Consultant, to execute such document with
the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.

                (d) Out-of-Scope Innovations. If Consultant incorporates into
any Company Innovations any Innovations relating to Company's business or
demonstrably anticipated research or development or business which were
conceived, reduced to practice or created by Consultant either outside of the
scope of Consultant's work for Company under this Agreement or prior to the
Effective Date (collectively, the "Out-of-Scope Innovations"), Consultant hereby
grants to Company or Company's designees a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide,
fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of
sublicensees) to practice all applicable patent, copyright, moral right, mask
work, trade

<PAGE>

secret and other intellectual property rights relating to any Out-of-Scope
Innovations which Consultant incorporates, or permits to be incorporated, in any
Company Innovations. Consultant agrees that Consultant will not incorporate, or
permit to be incorporated, any Innovations conceived, reduced to practice,
created, derived, developed or made by others into any of the Company
Innovations without Company's prior written consent.

            4.2 Confidential Information.

                (a) Definition of Confidential Information. "Confidential
Information" as used in this Agreement shall mean any and all technical and
non-technical information including patent, copyright, trade secret, and
proprietary information, techniques, sketches, drawings, models, inventions,
know-how, processes, apparatus, equipment, algorithms, software programs,
software source documents, and formulae related to the current, future and
proposed products and services of Company, Company's suppliers and customers,
and includes, without limitation, Company Innovations, Company Property, and
Company's information concerning research, experimental work, development,
design details and specifications, engineering, financial information,
procurement requirements, purchasing manufacturing, customer lists, business
forecasts, sales and merchandising and marketing plans and information.

                (b) Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations. Except as permitted in
this paragraph, Consultant shall neither use nor disclose the Confidential
Information. Consultant may use the Confidential Information solely to perform
services hereunder for the benefit of Company. Consultant agrees that Consultant
shall treat all Confidential Information of Company with the same degree of care
as Consultant accords to Consultant's own Confidential Information, but in no
case less than reasonable care. Consultant agrees not to communicate any
information to Company in violation of the proprietary rights of any third
party. Consultant will immediately give notice to Company of any unauthorized
use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Consultant agrees to assist
Company in remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential
Information.

                (c) Exclusions from Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations.
Consultant's obligations under Paragraph 4.2(b) ("Nondisclosure and Nonuse
Obligations") with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information shall
not apply to any such portion which Consultant can demonstrate, (a) was, through
no fault of Consultant, in the public domain at the time such portion was
communicated to Consultant by Company; (b) was rightfully in Consultant's
possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time such portion was
communicated to Consultant by Company; or (c) was developed by Consultant
independently of and without reference to any information communicated to
Consultant by Company. A disclosure of Confidential Information by Consultant,
either (a) in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body,
(b) otherwise required by law, or (c) necessary to establish the rights of
either party under this Agreement, shall not be considered to be a breach of
this Agreement or a waiver of confidentiality for other purposes; provided,
however, that Consultant shall provide prompt prior written notice thereof to
Company to enable Company to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such
disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as
granting a license to Consultant under Company's patents, copyrights or
trademarks, except as necessary to carry out Project Assignment(s) authorized
hereunder.

            4.3 Ownership and Return of Company Property. All materials
(including, without limitation, documents, drawings, models, apparatus,
sketches, designs, lists, and all other tangible media of expression) furnished
to Consultant by Company, whether delivered to Consultant by Company or made by
Consultant in the performance of services under this Agreement (collectively,
the "Company Property") are the sole and exclusive property of Company or
Company's suppliers or customers, and Consultant hereby does and will assign to
Company all rights, title and interest Consultant may have or acquire in the
Company Property. Consultant agrees to keep all Company Property at Consultant's

<PAGE>

premises unless otherwise permitted in writing by Company. At Company's request
and no later than seven (7) days after such request, Consultant shall destroy or
deliver to Company, at Company's option, (a) all Company Property, (b) all
tangible media of expression in Consultant's possession or control which
incorporate or in which are fixed any Confidential Information, and (c) written
certification of Consultant's compliance with Consultant's obligations under
this sentence.

            4.4 Observance of Company Rules. At all times while on Company's
premises, Consultant will observe Company's rules and regulations with respect
to conduct, health and safety and protection of persons and property.

        5. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of this Agreement,
Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract, or accept an obligation,
inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant's obligations, or the scope of
Services rendered for Company, under this Agreement. Consultant warrants that,
to the best of Consultant's knowledge, there is no other contract or duty on
Consultant's part which conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement.
Consultant agrees to indemnify Company from any and all loss or liability
incurred by reason of the alleged breach by Consultant of any obligation owed by
Consultant to any third party. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that
Consultant is serving as a director of the Humane Society Silicon Valley and
MicroScribe LLC and that these affiliations do not constitute a conflict of
interest under this Agreement.

        6. Term and Termination.

            6.1 Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date set
forth above and will have an initial term of eighteen (18) months, subject to
renewal for additional ninety (90) day periods upon mutual agreement of the

as indicated: (a) by personal delivery, when delivered personally; (b) by
overnight courier, upon written verification of receipt; (c) by telecopy or

registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt. Notice
shall be sent to the addresses set forth above or to such other address as
either party may specify in writing.

            8.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the United States of America and by the laws of the State of
California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be
performed entirely within California between California residents. Each of the
parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the
federal and state courts located in the State of California, as applicable, for
any action brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement, except that in
actions seeking to enforce any order or any judgment of such federal or state
courts located in Maryland, such personal jurisdiction shall be nonexclusive.

            8.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a
court of law to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) that provision shall
be deemed amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as
the original provision, and (ii) the legality, validity and enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.

            8.5 Waiver; Amendment; Modification. No term or provision hereof
will be considered waived by Company, and no breach excused by Company, unless
such waiver or consent is in writing signed by Company. The waiver by Company
of, or consent by Company to, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by
Consultant, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of, consent to, or
excuse of any other or subsequent breach by Consultant. This Agreement may be
amended or modified only by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of
the parties in writing.

            8.6 Injunctive Relief for Breach. Consultant's obligations under
Section 4 of this Agreement are of a unique character that gives them particular
value. Consultant's breach of any of such obligations will result in irreparable
and continuing damage to Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at
law; and, in the event of such breach, Company will be entitled to seek
injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other and
further relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate).

            8.7 Entire Agreement; Prior Employment Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject
matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements
concerning such subject matter. The terms of this Agreement will govern all
services undertaken by the Consultant for the Company after the Effective Date.
The Company and Consultant agree that this Agreement supercedes and replaces the
Employment Agreement dated June 22, 2001 which is hereby terminated and
cancelled such that there is no break in service. This agreement expressly does
not supercede the Indemnity Agreement dated November 9, 1999.

            8.8 Options. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) all
of the option shares granted to Consultant pursuant to options nos. 000250,
000990, 001248 and 001249 under the Company's Amended 1997 Stock Option Plan
(the "1997 Plan") shall become fully vested on the Effective Date and (ii) all
options granted to Consultant under the 1997 Plan shall remain outstanding and
termination of Consultant's Service (as defined in the 1997 Plan) under those
options shall not be deemed to have occurred until termination of this
Agreement; provided, however, Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the
unvested portion of option nos. 000446, 000974 and 000975 granted under the 1997
Plan shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as of the Effective Date.
