                the
                Executive hereunder shall not include any amount that the Company
                is
                prohibited from deducting for federal income tax purposes by virtue
                of
                Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor
                plan.

              Ownership
                of Developments.

            

    

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              Ownership
                of Work Product.  Company shall own all Work
                Product.  Executive acknowledges that all Work Product is and
                shall be deemed work for hire by Executive as an employee or Consultant
                of
                Company and owned by the Company. To further evidence Company’s ownership
                rights and independent of this Agreement, Executive shall execute
                and
                deliver to Company the Employee Intellectual Property Acknowledgement,
                Assignment and Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.  To the
                extent any Work Product is not, by operation of law, deemed work
                made for
                hire by Executive for Company (or if ownership of all right, title
                and
                interest of the intellectual property rights therein shall not otherwise
                vest exclusively in Company), Executive agrees to assign all such
                Work
                Product to Company as set forth in the Employee Intellectual Property
                Acknowledgement, Assignment and
                Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              Clearance
                Procedure for Developments Not Claimed by Company. In the event
                Executive wishes to create or develop, on his own time and with his
                own
                resources, anything that may be considered Work Product, but Executive
                believes he should or desires to be entitled to the personal benefit
                of
                such development or invention, Executive shall observe the following
                clearance procedure set forth in the Employee Intellectual Property
                Acknowledgement, Assignment and Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
                A.

            

    

     

    
      	
              7.  

            	
              Confidentiality.

            

    

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              Consequences
                of Entrustment with Sensitive Information.  Executive
                recognizes that his position with Company requires considerable
                responsibility and trust. Relying on Executive’s responsibilities
                hereunder and undivided loyalty, Company expects to entrust Executive
                with
                highly sensitive confidential, restricted, and proprietary information
                involving Trade Secrets and other intellectual
                property.  Executive should recognize that it could prove very
                difficult to isolate these Trade Secrets from business activities
                that
                Executive might consider pursuing after termination of employment,
                and in
                some instances, Executive may not be able to compete with Company
                in
                certain ways because of the risk that Company's Trade Secrets might
                be
                compromised.  Executive is responsible for protecting and
                preserving Company's proprietary rights for use only for Company's
                benefit, and these responsibilities may impose unavoidable limitations
                on
                Executive’s ability to pursue some kinds of business opportunities that
                might interest Executive during or after his
                employment.

            

    

     

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              Restrictions
                on Use and Disclosure of Trade Secrets.  Executive agrees
                not to use or disclose any Trade Secrets of Company during his employment
                and for so long afterwards as the pertinent information or data remain
                Trade Secrets, whether or not the Trade Secrets are in written or
                tangible
                form, except as required to perform any duties for
                Company.

            

    

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              Screening
                of Public Releases of Information.  In addition, and without
                any intention of limiting Executive’s other obligations under this
                Agreement in any way, Executive shall not, during his employment,
                reveal
                any nonpublic information concerning the technology pertaining to
                the
                proprietary products and manufacturing processes of Company (particularly
                technology under current development or improvement), unless Executive
                has
                obtained approval from Company in advance.  In that connection,
                Executive shall submit to Company for review any proposed scientific
                and
                technical articles and the text of any public speeches relating to
                work
                done for Company before they are released or delivered.  Company
                has the right to disapprove and prohibit, or delete any parts of,
                such
                articles or speeches that might disclose Company's Trade Secrets
                or
                Confidential Information or otherwise be contrary to Company's business
                interests.

            

    

     

    
      	
              8.  

            	
              Return
                of Materials.  Upon the request of Company and, in any
                event, upon the termination of employment hereunder, Executive must
                return
                to Company and leave at its disposal all memoranda, notes, records,
                drawings, manuals, computer programs, documentation, diskettes, computer
                tapes, and other documents or media pertaining to the business of
                Company
                or Executive’s specific duties for Company (including all copies of such
                materials).  Executive must also return to Company and leave at
                its disposal all materials involving any Trade Secrets of
                Company.  This obligation applies to all materials made or
                compiled by Executive, as well as to all materials furnished to Executive
                by anyone else in connection with employment
                hereunder.

              Benefit.  This
                Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon
                the
                parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns but the
                obligations of the Executive hereunder may not be assigned by the
                Executive and are personal to her.  The Executive agrees that
                the Company may arrange for his employment through an employee-leasing
                firm provided that his rights hereunder are not materially
                reduced.

            

    

     

    
      	
              10.  

            	
              Entire
                Agreement.  This instrument contains the entire agreement of
                the parties and supersedes any prior written or oral understandings
                or
                agreements.  It may not be changed orally but only by an
                agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
                of any
                waiver, change, modification, extension, or discharge is
                sought.

                California.
