                                    AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is made by and between SCM Microsystems, Inc. ("SCM"),
and you, Brian Campbell, as of May 22, 2003 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). References
herein to the term "AGREEMENT" include Exhibit A hereto.

         1.       Employment; Term. During the term of this Agreement, you will
serve as Special Advisor to SCM. The term of this Agreement (the "EMPLOYMENT
TERM") shall expire on the earlier of July 31, 2003, or the date that you or SCM
terminates the Employment Term by giving the other party written notice of such
termination. The last day of the Employment Term is referred to as the "END
DATE". As of the Effective Date, you resign as Executive Vice President of
Retail Brands and, although you will remain an employee of SCM, you relinquish
all other officer and director positions with SCM and its affiliates. You will
render such business and professional services in the performance of your
duties, consistent with your position within SCM, as shall reasonably be
assigned to you by SCM's Board of Directors (the "BOARD") or its Chief Executive
Officer ("CEO"). You will devote your business efforts and time to SCM and such
of its subsidiaries as the Board or CEO may designate. It is understood that you
will continue to provide operational services to SCM's Digital Media and Video
("DMV") division on a basis consistent with your previous responsibilities. Your
primary managerial focus will be on the Guilford, Connecticut facilities and
operations. You will also provide assistance in connection with the controlled
exit or sale of the DMV business (including dealing with DMV customers, vendors
and employees and assisting in the closing of the DMV facilities in Connecticut
and Japan). However, in connection with any sale of the DMV business, you will
only be required to provide information related to the DMV business to SCM's
representatives and will not be required to directly meet with, or provide
information to, potential third party DMV acquirers.

         2.       Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, you will be
eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all SCM employee benefit
plans that are generally applicable to other U.S. employees of SCM who are
Executive Vice President level or below, as such plans and terms may exist from
time to time, provided you are determined to be an employee of SCM according to
the terms of such plans. In the event you are determined to be ineligible to
participate in SCM's employee benefit plans and subject to compliance with the
terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit A), SCM shall provide you with the
same level of SCM subsidized health (i.e., medical, vision and dental) coverage
and executive benefits as in effect for you on the day of such determination
through the End Date. You will continue to have the right to use the SCM company
car you are currently using until the End Date, at which time you will deliver
the car to an SCM designee in Connecticut.

         3.       COBRA. After the End Date, you agree to elect continued health
coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as
amended ("COBRA"). Subject to you making such election and executing and not
revoking and delivering to the Company, on or around such date, a release in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit A, the Company will reimburse you for
the amount of such COBRA premiums from the End Date until December 31, 2003
relating to the SCM-paid coverage provided by SCM prior to the End.

         4.       Compensation.

                  (a)      Base Salary. During the Employment Term and beginning
on the Effective Date, SCM will pay you as compensation for your services at a
monthly rate of $25,000 (the "BASE SALARY"); provided, however, that for the
month of May 2003 you will receive a pro rata portion of your current monthly
base salary with SCM ($________) for the period from May 1 to the Effective Date
and a pro rata portion of the Base Salary from the Effective Date until May 31,
2003. The Base Salary will be paid through payroll periods that are consistent
with SCM's normal payroll practices, assuming that you are in compliance with
all of your obligations under this Agreement.

                  If SCM terminates the Employment Term prior to June 1, 2003,
the entire pro rata amount of the Base Salary will be paid to you during the
month of May 2003, but SCM will not be obligated to pay you the Base Salary or
any other salary, bonus or other compensation for the month of June or
thereafter. If you terminate the Employment Term prior to June 1, 2003, you will
only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Base Salary earned from the
Effective Date through the End Date. If SCM terminates the Employment Term
during the month of June 2003, SCM will pay you the entire amount of the Base
Salary for the month of June 2003 (together with any earned but unpaid Base
Salary from May 2003), but SCM will not be obligated to pay you the Base Salary
or any other salary, bonus or other compensation for the month of July or
thereafter. If you terminate the Employment Term during the month of June 2003,
you will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Base Salary earned from
June 1, 2003 through the End Date (together with any earned but unpaid Base
Salary from May 2003). If SCM terminates the Employment Term during the month of
July 2003, SCM will pay you the entire amount of the Base Salary for the month
of July 2003 (together with any earned but unpaid Base Salary from May or June
2003). If you terminate the Employment Term during the month of July 2003, you
will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Base Salary earned from July
1, 2003 through the End Date (together with any earned but unpaid Base Salary
from May or June 2003).

                  (b)      Stock Options. During the Employment Term, your
unexpired stock options will continue to vest and become exercisable pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the stock option plans and the applicable stock
option agreements by and between you and SCM, assuming that you are providing
services to SCM on each vesting date and that you are in compliance with all of
your obligations under this Agreement.

         5.       Indemnification and D&O Insurance. The parties agree that (i)
you will continue to be covered by the terms and conditions of the Indemnity
Agreement entered into between you and SCM on [INDEMNITY AGREEMENT DATE] (the
"INDEMNITY AGREEMENT"), (ii) the parties' rights and obligations thereunder are
unaffected by this Agreement and (iii) the Indemnity Agreement will cover your
activities performed hereunder during the Employment Term.

         6.       Settlement Agreement and Release. On the date you sign this
Agreement, you will sign and deliver to SCM a Settlement Agreement and Release
in the form attached as Exhibit A. SCM's obligation to perform under this
Agreement is contingent upon your signing and not revoking the Settlement
Agreement and Release.

         7.       Removal of Files. Following your termination of employment,
you may remove your personal files from SCM's premises. Any file containing
"Employment Information" (as defined in

                                                                             -2-

Section 11) may not be removed from SCM's premises without the written consent
of the Board or the CEO.

         8.       Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of (a) your heirs, executors and legal representatives upon your
death and (b) any successor of SCM. Any such successor of SCM will be deemed
substituted for SCM under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this
purpose, "SUCCESSOR" means any person, firm, corporation or other business
entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or
indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of SCM.
None of your rights to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of your right to compensation or other benefits will be null and
void.

Information to third parties, and agree that there will be no publicity,
directly or indirectly, concerning any Employment Information. You agree to take
every precaution to disclose Employment Information only to those attorneys,
accountants, governmental entities and family members who have a reasonable need
to know of such Employment Information.

         12.      Non-Disparagement. You and SCM agree to refrain from making
any negative comments about the other concerning their respective business,
products or services, officers, employees and directors and to refrain from any,
defamation, libel or slander of the other and their respective officers,

any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning your employment
relationship with SCM.

         14.      Submission to Jurisdiction; Expenses.. The parties submit to
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Santa Clara, California in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agree
that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such court. Any final judgment in any action or proceeding so
brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by law or in equity. The prevailing party in any such

may reasonably be deemed necessary or desirable by SCM relating to its position
in any such legal proceedings. You also agree to promptly send SCM copies of all
correspondence (for example, but not limited to, subpoenas) received by you in
connection with any such legal proceedings, unless you are expressly prohibited
by law from so doing. You will act in good faith to furnish the information and
cooperation required by this Section 15 and SCM will act in good faith so that
the requirement to furnish such information and cooperation does not create an
undue hardship for you. SCM will reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by you as a result of your cooperation, within ten (10) days
of the presentation of appropriate documentation thereof, in accordance with
SCM's standard reimbursement policies and procedures. The failure by you to
cooperate fully with SCM in accordance with this Section 15 will be a material
breach of the terms of this Agreement, which will result in all commitments of
SCM to make additional payments to you becoming null and void. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section, it is agreed that if possible SCM will provide you
with reasonable advance notice regarding these activities, and that any requests
made hereunder by SCM will be made in good faith and reasonable.

withheld, from any payment or benefit under this Agreement the full amount of
any applicable withholding taxes.

the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions).

         19.      Authority. SCM represents and warrants that the person signing
this Agreement on its behalf has full authority to act for SCM.

Association (the "RULES"). The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief
in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator will be final,
conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's decision in any court having jurisdiction.

                  (b)      The arbitrator will apply California law to the
merits of any dispute or claim (with the exception of its conflict of laws
provisions). You hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in California for any action or proceeding
arising from or relating to this Agreement and/or relating to any arbitration in
which the parties are participants.

                  (c)      SCM will pay the direct costs and expenses of the
arbitration. SCM and You each will pay Your own counsel fees and expenses.

                  (d)      SCM or You may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other
interim or conservatory relief, as necessary to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement, without breach of this arbitration agreement and without abridgement
of the powers of the arbitrator.

                  (e)      YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION 12, WHICH
DISCUSSES ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO SUBMIT ANY FUTURE CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF,
RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION,
VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH, OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING
ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT
TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES RELATING TO ALL
ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS:

                           (i)      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;

                                                                               4
<PAGE>

                           (ii)     ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR VIOLATION OF ANY
FEDERAL STATE OR MUNICIPAL STATUTE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AMERICANS
WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT, AND ANY LAW OF ANY
STATE; AND

                           (iii)    ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY OTHER
LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT OR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION.

         13.      Cooperation with SCM. You will, for a period of six (6) months
after the date hereof, cooperate fully with SCM to the extent of your
availability, including, but not limited to, (a) responding to the reasonable
requests of SCM's Board or counsel, in connection with any and all existing or
future litigation, arbitrations, mediations or investigations brought by or
against SCM or any of its affiliates, agents, officers, directors or employees,
whether administrative, civil or criminal in nature, in which SCM reasonably
deems Your cooperation necessary or desirable and, (b) responding to reasonable
requests and providing information reasonably within Your knowledge regarding
SCM's results of operations, financial condition and performance, internal
controls, disclosure controls and procedures, accounting practices and policies,
reporting procedures and practices, other related information and any other
information reasonably within Your knowledge that is necessary or appropriate
for SCM to satisfy its obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. During such period, You agree to provide reasonable advice, assistance
and information, including offering and explaining evidence, providing sworn
statements, participating in discovery and trial preparation and testimony as
may reasonably be deemed necessary or desirable by SCM relating to its position
in any such legal proceedings. During such period, You also agree to promptly
send SCM copies of all correspondence (for example, but not limited to,
subpoenas) received by You in connection with any such legal proceedings, unless
You are expressly prohibited by law from so doing. During such period, You will
act in good faith to furnish the information and cooperation required by this
Section 13 and SCM will act in good faith so that the requirement to furnish
such information and cooperation does not create an undue hardship for You. SCM
will advance to You all out-of-pocket expenses which you reasonably anticipate
You will incur as a result of Your cooperation, provided that You will provide
appropriate documentation thereof within ten (10) days of incurring any such
expenses, and, at the termination of the cooperation period, a reconciliation
shall be completed including appropriate credits or debits as necessary (i) to
reimburse You fully for all such expenses or (ii) to repay SCM any amounts you
owe for previous expense advancements. The failure by You to cooperate fully
with SCM in accordance with this Section 13 will be a material breach of the
terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13, it is
agreed that if possible SCM will provide You with reasonable advance notice
regarding these activities, and that any requests made hereunder by SCM will be
made in good faith and reasonable.

         14.      No Oral Modification, Cancellation or Discharge. This
Agreement may be changed or terminated only in writing (signed by You and the
Chief Executive Officer of SCM (on behalf of SCM)).

                                                                               5

         15.      Waiver of Breach. The waiver of a breach of any term or
provision of this Agreement, which must be in writing, will not operate as or be
construed to be a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach of this
Agreement. No breach of any covenant hereunder by You will relieve SCM of any
obligation to make any payment required hereunder; provided, however, that the
foregoing does not require SCM to make any payment hereunder unless and until
the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the making of such
payment. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 15 limits
SCM's right to take any action against you, whether equitable or legal, as a
result of Your breach of a covenant hereunder.

         16.      Headings. All captions and section headings used in this
Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of this
Agreement.

         17.      Withholding. SCM is authorized to withhold, or cause to be
withheld, from any payment or benefit under this Agreement the full amount of
any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

         18.      Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of
the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions).

         19.      Authority. SCM represents and warrants that the person signing
this Agreement on its behalf has full authority to act for SCM.

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

                                                                               6
