The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Consultant hereinabove shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Company seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Company hereby engages Consultant and Consultant hereby accepts such engagement, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, for the period commencing [ September 23, ] , 2004 and ending on [ September 22, 2007 ] unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or as provided in Section IV herein (such period is referred to as the "Consulting Term"). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, this Consulting Agreement shall be null and void if Consultant revokes the Separation Agreement during the seven (7) day period following the execution of that agreement.

II. Service .

A. Consultant shall perform consulting services during the Consulting Term which shall include providing advice to and consultation with Company and such of its affiliates as Company may reasonably request from time to time on matters with which Consultant was familiar and/or about which Consultant acquired knowledge, expertise and/or experience during the time that Consultant was employed by Company.

CA#14

B. Consultant shall report exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer of Company or his designee (the "CEO") and, except as expressly authorized by the CEO from time to time, shall not have contact with any other employee of Company or its affiliates. Consultant shall provide in writing to and as requested by the CEO a detailed summary of all business contacts involved in any consulting activity performed hereunder and report on services performed.

C. The consulting services that Consultant may be required to perform during the Consulting Term may include, without limiting other consulting services that the CEO may request from time to time, advice, research, planning and similar services as to business strategy, marketing, litigation, finance, and administration.

III. Compensation .

A. Monthly Consulting Fee . As consideration for Consultant's services each month during the Consulting Term, Company shall pay Consultant a consulting fee (the "Monthly Consulting Fee").

As to any month during the Consulting Term after the eighteenth (18 th ) month of the Consulting Term, the Monthly Consulting Fee shall be $28,511.00 for such month. The Monthly Consulting Fee shall be proportionately adjusted as to any partial calendar month that occurs during the Consulting Term. (For purposes of clarity, assuming that the entire intended thirty-six month Consulting Term is completed, the aggregate of the Monthly Consulting Fee payments to Consultant pursuant to the foregoing shall equal $972,396.00 ((18 x $25,511.00) + (18 x $28,511.00).)

B. Benefits . Consultant shall not be entitled to participate in any vacation, medical, retirement, or other fringe benefit of Company and shall not make claim of entitlement to

CA#14

any such employee program or benefit. For purposes of clarity, the preceding sentence does not limit or supersede any express rights that Consultant may have under and pursuant to Section III of the Separation Agreement.

IV. Termination .

A. Termination . Company may terminate Consultant's engagement at any time, with or without cause, upon fourteen (14) days' written notice.

B. Obligations of Company Upon Termination .

1. Termination for Cause. If Consultant's engagement is terminated by Company for Cause, this Consulting Agreement, save and except Sections VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII, shall terminate without further obligations to Consultant under this Consulting Agreement, other than for payment of Consultant's Monthly Consulting Fee through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid (with the Monthly Consulting Fee for the month of such termination pro-rated for the number of days in the month completed prior to such termination).

For purposes of this Consulting Agreement and except as provided in the next sentence, "Cause" shall mean any time the Company Board of Directors determines, based on its reasonable belief at the time based on the information then known to it, that any of the following events or contingencies exists or has occurred: (i) Consultant has been negligent in the discharge of Consultant's responsibilities and obligations hereunder; (ii) Consultant has refused to perform Consultant's responsibilities and obligations hereunder; (iii) Consultant has failed to perform his responsibilities and obligations hereunder in a reasonably satisfactory manner; (iv) Consultant has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of moral turpitude, theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; or (v) Consultant has breached any of the provisions of any agreement with Company or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, a breach by Consultant of any provision of this Consulting Agreement or the Separation Agreement).

For purposes of this Consulting Agreement upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (as such term is defined in the Company.Software Corporation 2001 Stock Option Plan, as amended) of Company that occurs after the Effective Date, "Cause" shall mean any time the Company Board of Directors determines, based on its reasonable belief at the time based on the information then known to it, that any of the following events or contingencies exists or has occurred: (i) Consultant has willfully refused to perform Consultant's responsibilities and obligations hereunder;

CA#14

(ii) Consultant has willfully been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of moral turpitude, theft, embezzlement or fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information that, in any event either alone or together, has (or have) a material adverse effect on Company; or (iii) Consultant has willfully breached any of the provisions of any agreement with Company or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, a breach by Consultant of any provision of this Consulting Agreement or the Separation Agreement) that (alone or together with any other such breaches) has a material adverse effect on Company. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two sentences to the contrary, if Consultant's conduct or actions (or lack thereof) would otherwise constitute Cause and a cure by Consultant is reasonable in the circumstances, Cause shall not exist for purposes of this Consulting Agreement unless Company gives notice to Consultant of the conduct or actions (or lack thereof) at issue and, after a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, Consultant has failed to remedy the situation to the reasonable satisfaction of Company; provided that in the case of any reoccurring conduct or actions (or lack thereof), Company shall be required to provide only one notice to Consultant of the reoccurring conduct or actions (or lack thereof) at issue during any six-month period of time.

If Consultant's engagement is terminated by Company without Cause (and other than due to Consultant's death), this Consulting Agreement, save and except paragraphs VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII , shall terminate without further obligations to Consultant under this Consulting Agreement, other than for continued payment of Consultant's Monthly Consulting

Fee through the Consulting Term. Such payments, if any, shall be payable at the time they would have become due if Consultant's engagement had continued under this Consulting Agreement for the balance of the Consulting Term.

This Consulting Agreement does not authorize Consultant to act as an agent of Company or any of its affiliates or to make commitments on behalf of Company or any of its affiliates. Consultant and Company intend that an independent contractor relationship be created by this Consulting Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as creating an employer/employee relationship, partnership, joint venture, or other business group or concerted action. Consultant at no time shall hold himself out as an agent of Company or

any of its affiliates for any purpose, including reporting to any governmental authority or agency, and shall have no authority to bind Company or any of its affiliates to any obligation whatsoever.

A. Right to Control . Consultant shall have the right to control and determine the method and means of performing the above services; Company shall not have the right to control or determine such method or means, being interested only in the results obtained, and having the general right of inspection and supervision in order to secure the satisfactory completion of such services.

B. Taxes . Consultant and Company agree that Consultant is not an employee for state or federal tax purposes. Consultant shall be solely responsible for any taxes due as a result of the payment of the Monthly Consulting Fee, and Consultant will defend and indemnify Company and each of its affiliates from and against any tax liability that any of them may have with respect to any such payment and against any and all losses or liabilities, including defense costs, arising out of Consultant's failure to pay any taxes due with respect to any such payment. If Company reasonably determines that applicable law requires that taxes should be withheld from any payment of the Monthly Consulting Fee, Company reserves the right to withhold, as legally required, and to notify Consultant accordingly.

Company F, Inc. (the "Company")and Mr.G ("Mr. G").

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Mr.G serves as an executive Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement dated as of December 18, 2008 (the "Employment Agreement"); WHEREAS, Mr.G desires to retire from his position as an officer and employee of the Company (but not as Chairman of the Board) at the end of the Company's current fiscal year on January 28, 2012 (the effective date of such retirement is referred to as the "Retirement Date") and to provide consulting services to the Company following the Retirement Date as the Board may reasonably consider appropriate; and WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth their respective rights and obligations regarding Marciano's consulting arrangement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Consulting Period . On the Retirement Date, the Company agrees to retain Mr.G as a consultant to provide the services described in Section 2 below from the Retirement Date until the second (2 nd ) anniversary of the Retirement Date (the "Consulting Period"), as provided in this Consulting Agreement.

2. Consulting Services . Mr.G shall provide such consulting services to the Company as reasonably requested by the Board from time to time; provided that Mr.G and the Company agree that in no event will the Company require, nor will Mr.G perform, a level of services during the Consulting Period that would result in Mr.G not having a "separation from service" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A")) from the Company and its subsidiaries on the Retirement Date. These services may include but are not limited to actively participating in major marketing or sales initiatives, performing any transition and integration services related to the Company's business and cooperating with the Company regarding any litigation initiated involving matters of which Mr.G has particular knowledge (the "Consulting Services"). Mr.G agrees to be available up to seven days per month during the Consulting Period to perform the Consulting Services. The Consulting Services will be performed at such times as are reasonably requested by the Company after reasonable consultation with Marciano. Mr.G shall provide these services in Los Angeles, California, provided that Mr.G shall be required to travel for business and client meetings as reasonably requested by the Company.

3. Fees . As compensation for the Consulting Services, the Company shall pay Mr.G five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per annum during the Consulting Period. Fees shall be paid

7

CA#33

monthly in arrears by the 15 th day of the following month. Should Mr.G die or become "disabled" (within the meaning of the Employment Agreement) during the Consulting Period, the Company shall make a lump sum cash payment to Mr.G (or, in the event of his death, to his estate) of an amount equal to the remaining payments owed through the end of the Consulting Period, with such payment to be made as soon as practicable (but in all events within thirty (30) days) following the date of Marciano's death or the date Mr.G becomes "disabled." Mr.G shall not be entitled to participate, and shall not participate in, any employee benefit plan providing benefits to Company employees, whether presently in force or adopted subsequent to this Consulting Agreement, with respect to his Consulting Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr.G shall retain all compensation and benefits that continue past his Retirement Date pursuant to the terms of this Consulting Agreement, the Employment Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, his lifetime retiree medical benefits provided for under the Employment Agreement. All reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by Mr.G in the performance of the Consulting Services shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company in accordance with the Company's standard expense reimbursement policies applicable to independent contractors. However, Mr.G shall not be entitled to receive any home security or other perquisites or benefits (other than the provision of an automobile in a manner consistent with its past practice) following the Retirement Date.

4. FY 2012 Bonus . Mr.G shall receive an annual cash incentive bonus for the Company's current fiscal year (fiscal 2012) (the "FY 2012 Bonus") pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement and the Company's Annual Incentive Bonus Plan (and, if appropriate, the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan), provided that the amount of the FY 2012 Bonus paid to Mr.G shall not be less than Marciano's Target Bonus (within the meaning of the Employment Agreement). During the Consulting Period, Mr.G shall not be eligible to participate in the Company's annual bonus or other cash incentive compensation plans or programs, or to otherwise earn any bonus or cash incentive fees for the Consulting Services.

5. Equity Based Incentive Awards . Mr.G shall not be eligible to receive equity or other non-cash awards under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, any successor plan or otherwise with respect to his provision of the Consulting Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the award agreements evidencing Marciano's stock options, restricted stock awards or other equity awards that are currently outstanding and not otherwise vested or scheduled to vest in accordance with their terms on or before the Retirement Date (the "Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards"), any Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards shall not terminate or be forfeited on the Retirement Date so long as Mr.G continues to serve on the Board immediately following the Retirement Date. Instead, any Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards shall continue to become vested and exercisable based on Marciano's continued service as a member of the Board, on the same basis as if he had remained an employee of the Company for the period of time he continues to serve on the Board, with each installment of such Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards becoming vested and exercisable on the applicable vesting date as long as Mr.G continues to serve as a member of the Board through the applicable vesting date. With respect to any Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards that are stock options, the date Mr.G ceases to serve as a member of the Board shall be treated as Marciano's "Severance Date" for purposes of the applicable award agreements, and Mr.G will be considered to have retired from the Company on such Severance Date for purposes of such award agreements. In addition, and notwithstanding

8

CA#33

anything to the contrary in the Employment Agreement, Mr.G shall not be eligible to receive any performance share, stock option or other awards under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan or any successor plan with respect to his employment by the Company during the Company's current fiscal year (fiscal 2012). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5 is intended as, nor shall be construed as, an amendment to the terms of any of Marciano's stock options, restricted stock awards or other equity awards that are not Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards ( i.e. , equity awards that are currently vested or scheduled to vest in accordance with their terms on or before the Retirement Date).

6. Resignation . Mr.G hereby agrees to resign as an employee and officer of the Company and any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company, and from any board of directors, board of managers or similar positions (other than as a member of the Board) or employee benefit plan or other committee, effective as of the Retirement Date. Marciano's resignation as described above shall be treated as a termination of employment due to "Retirement" under the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall such treatment in any way be interpreted to reduce or otherwise limit his rights as provided hereunder, including, but not limited to, full payment of his FY 2012 Bonus under Section 4 of this Consulting Agreement and continued rights with respect to Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards under Section 5 of this Consulting Agreement based on service with the Board. The parties hereby agree that the Executive will have a "separation from service" (within the meaning of Section 409A) from the Company and its subsidiaries on the Retirement Date, and that payment of the Executive's accrued benefits as of such date shall be made under the Company F, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Company F, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with the terms of each such plan and the Executive's elections thereunder.

7. Non-Employee Director Compensation . During the Consulting Period, Mr.G shall be eligible to receive any compensation provided to the non-employee members of the Board pursuant to the Company's generally applicable non-employee director compensation arrangements, and nothing in this Consulting Agreement shall limit Marciano's rights to receive additional compensation for his services as a member of the Board following the Retirement Date.

8. Status . Mr.G acknowledges and agrees that his status at all times during the Consulting Period shall be that of an independent contractor. Mr.G hereby waives any rights to be treated as an employee or deemed employee of the Company or any of its affiliates for any purpose following his termination of employment at the Retirement Date except as provided under his Employment Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the compensation provided for in Section 3 shall represent fees for Consulting Services provided by Mr.G as an independent contractor, and shall be paid without any deductions or withholdings for taxes. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable with respect to the FY 2012 Bonus and the Outstanding Unvested Equity Awards such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

9. Retained Property . During the Consulting Period, Mr.G shall retain all property of the Company in his possession, including, but not limited to, credit cards, security key cards, telephone cards, car service cards, computer software or hardware, Company identification

9

CA#33

cards, Company records and copies of records, correspondence and copies of correspondence and other books or manuals issued by the Company.

10. Assignability . Mr.G may not assign or transfer this Consulting Agreement or any of Marciano's rights, duties or obligations hereunder. The Company may assign this Consulting Agreement to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets (by merger or otherwise) of the Company so long as such person, entity or affiliate assumes the Company's obligations hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement . This Consulting Agreement constitutes the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to engaging Mr.G as a consultant to the Company on the Retirement Date. This Consulting Agreement may not be changed or amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. Mr.G shall continue to be employed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement until the Retirement Date.

12. Divisibility . If any one or more of the provisions of this Consulting Agreement or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions and other application thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

13. Applicable Law . This Consulting Agreement shall be governed by, and the rights and obligations of the parties determined in accordance with, the laws of the State of California as in effect for contracts made and to be performed in the State of California.

14. Survival . All of the Company's obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of this Consulting Agreement.

15. Counterparts . This Consulting Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, all of which shall together constitute one and the same Consulting Agreement. One or more counterparts of this Consulting Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or photographic copy of the signed counterpart, with the intention that delivery by such means shall have the same effect as delivery of an original counterpart thereof.

16. Section 409A . It is intended that any amounts payable under this Consulting Agreement and the Company's and Marciano's exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply with and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A. This Consulting Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent. Any reimbursement payment due to Mr.G under Section 3 shall be paid on or before the last day of Marciano's taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. Any reimbursement payment due to Mr.G pursuant to Section 3 is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement that Mr.G receives in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement that Mr.G receives in any other taxable year.

An adjustment made pursuant to subparagraph (a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of (i) assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated net income or retained earnings or dividends payable in Common Stock), (ii) evidences of indebtedness or other debt or equity securities of the Company, or any corporation other than the Company (except for the Common Stock of the Company) or (iii) subscription rights, options or warrants to purchase any of the foregoing assets or securities, whether or not such rights, options or warrants are immediately exercisable (hereinafter collectively called Distributions on Common Stock), the Company shall make provisions for the Warrant Holder to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, a proportional amount (depending upon the extent to which this Warrant is exercised) of such assets, evidences of indebtedness, securities or such other rights, as if such Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant on or before such record date.

(c) In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation, this Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 10 (including provisions with respect to changes in and adjustments of the exercise price) shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(d) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the exercise price or any change in the number of Warrant Shares or in the shares of stock or other securities or property

(f) If at any time:

(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

(ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all Warrant Holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

(iv) the approval of any Stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,

then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Warrant Holder at his last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not taken, the date on which such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that Warrant Holders of Common Stock of record shall be

22

CA#35

entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided , however , that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

(g) In case the Company shall take a record of the Warrant Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution, or the date of the granting of such distribution right, or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

CA#36

(a) Beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of: (i) April 1, 2007, or (ii) the date of termination of Consultant's services with the Company by the Company (the " Non-Competition Period "), Consulting Company and Consultant shall not (other than on behalf of the Company), without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in a Competitive Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere in the Restricted Territory (as defined below). For all purposes hereof, the term " Competitive Business Activity " shall mean: (i) engaging in, or managing or directing persons engaged in any business in competition with the Company's Nixit, Inc. anti-piracy services; (ii) acquiring or having an ownership interest in any entity that derives revenues from any business in competition with the Competitive Business Activity (except for passive ownership of three percent (3%) or less of any entity whose securities are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or market or five percent (5%) or less of any entity whose securities are not publicly traded on a national securities exchange or market); or (iii) participating in the operation or control of any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business (each, an " Entity ") described in clause (ii) of this sentence; provided, however , that Consulting Company or the Consultant shall not be deemed to be engaging in a Competitive Business Activity solely because Consulting Company or the Consultant is employed by, or serves as an independent contractor to, an Entity that engages in a Competitive Business Activity if (i) Consulting Company or the Consultant is employed in, serves as an independent contractor to or is otherwise associated with a division of such Entity other than the division engaged in a Competitive Business Activity (a " Competing Division ") or (ii) the Consulting Company or the Consultant does not provide technical, marketing or other assistance to a Competing Division.

(b) During the Non-Competition Period, neither Consulting Company nor Consultant shall solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage, or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of inducing or encouraging, any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with the Company or its subsidiaries; provided, however , that any general solicitation of employees not specifically targeted to the Company's employees shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8(b).

(c) The covenants contained in Section 8(a) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each country, province, state, city or other political subdivision of the Restricted Territory. The parties acknowledge that the Competitive Business Activity is and will be national and international in scope and thus the covenants in this Section 8 would be particularly ineffective if the covenants were to be limited to a particular geographic area of the United States. If any court of competent jurisdiction at any time deems the Non-Competition Term unreasonably lengthy, or the Restricted Territory unreasonably extensive, or any of the covenants set forth in Section 8 not fully enforceable, the other provisions of Section 8, and this Consulting Agreement in general, will nevertheless stand and to the fullest extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect, and it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Consulting Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent (for example, that the Restricted Term be deemed to be the longest period permissible by law, but not in excess of the length provided for in

4

CA#36

Section 8(a), and the Restricted Territory be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances, but not in excess of the territory provided for in Section 8(a)).

9. Termination .

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon written notice to Consulting Company and Consultant, to immediately terminate this Consulting Agreement and Consultant's services with the Company for "Cause."

For purposes of this Consulting Agreement only, "Cause" shall mean the determination by the Company in the exercise of its sole discretion, of any of the following: (i) Consultant's financial dishonesty, including, without limitation, misappropriation or embezzlement of the funds or property of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, falsification of any Company or subsidiary of affiliate documents or records or any unauthorized attempt by Consultant to take any business or business opportunities of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate for Consultant's own personal gain; (ii) Consultant's unauthorized or improper use or disclosure of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate's confidential or proprietary information; (iii) any action by Consultant that has or is reasonably likely to have a material detrimental or adverse effect on the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate's reputation, business or prospects; (iv) Consultant's failure or inability to perform any material duties contemplated by this Consulting Agreement; (v) negligent, reckless or willful misconduct in performance of Consultant's duties; (vi) any material breach by Consultant of any agreement between Consultant and the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate; (vii) Consultant's conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any felony or the commission of any other material act or material omission involving dishonesty, disloyalty or fraud with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, any customer, supplier or other material business relations; or (viii) a material violation by Consultant of the Company policies, including, without limitation, policies on prohibition of unlawful harassment and insider trading.(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Consulting Agreement and to terminate Consultant's services with the Company after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any "Disability" upon thirty (30) days written notice to Consulting Company and Consultant. For purposes of this Consulting Agreement only, "Disability" means Consultant's incapacity to perform the essential functions of his duties with or without reasonable accommodation as required hereunder for sixty (60) days or more within any period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days because of mental or physical condition, illness or injury, consistent with applicable state and federal law. In the event of any dispute regarding the existence of Consultant's Disability, the matter shall be resolved by the determination of a physician qualified to practice medicine in the State of California, selected by the Company and reasonably approved by Consultant.

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and you hereby agree as follows: 1.

It is a condition of receiving this Award of Restricted Stock that you execute the attached Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement (the "Non-Compete Agreement"). 2. Rights with Respect to the Shares. --------------------------------- With respect to the Shares, you shall be entitled effective as of the Grant Date to exercise the rights of a shareholder of Common Stock of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right, subject to Section 8(b) below, to receive dividends on the Shares, unless and until the Shares are forfeited under Section 5 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 6. Your rights with respect to the Shares shall remain forfeitable at all times prior to the date or dates on which such rights become vested under this Agreement. 3.

Shares that are eligible to be vested are referred to as "Earned Shares." Provided that you satisfy your obligations throughout the period of your Non-Compete Agreement (the "Restricted Period"), Earned Shares vest on the last day of the Restricted Period.

Shares that vest under this Agreement are referred to as "Vested Shares." 4. Change in Control. ----------------- In the event of a Change in Control while you are employed hereunder, all of your Shares, to the extent then unvested, shall immediately prior to such Change in Control become Vested Shares.

CA#39

The Company specifically acknowledges that your resignation from the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not result in the forfeiture of any Earned Shares under this Agreement. Your rights to Shares that are not Vested Shares or Earned Shares shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, upon termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if your employment terminates due to death, your Earned Shares, to the extent not then vested, will immediately become Vested Shares. No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of any Shares which vest by reason of your death shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee administering the Plan shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer and a copy of the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. "Employment" covered under this Agreement shall mean the performance of services for the Company or a Subsidiary as an employee for federal income tax purposes.

Your employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to have terminated if you take any military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company or the Subsidiary, as applicable, regardless of whether pay is suspended during such leave. 6. Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered by you (collectively, the "Transfer Restrictions") during the period commencing on the Grant Date and terminating at the end of the Restricted Period except as otherwise provided herein under Section 4 (with respect to a Change in Control), Section 9 (with respect to the withholding of taxes) or Section 5 (with respect to death). The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the Transfer Restrictions shall lapse with respect to any Shares, or to remove any or all such restrictions, whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of any changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the Restricted Period. 7. Issuance and Custody of Certificates.

(a) The Company shall cause the Shares to be issued in your name, either by book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company.

13

CA#39

The Shares shall be restricted from transfer during the Restricted Period and shall be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order. If any certificate is issued, the certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Shares. (b) If any certificate is issued, you shall be required to execute and deliver to the Company a stock power or stock powers relating to the Shares. (c) Upon vesting, the Company shall promptly cause your Vested Shares (less any Shares that may have been withheld to pay taxes) to be delivered to you, free of the restrictions and/or legend described in Section 7(a) hereof, either by book-entry registration or in the form of a certificate or certificates, registered in your name or in the names of your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as applicable. 8. Distributions and Adjustments. (a) If any Shares vest subsequent to any change in the number or character of the Common Stock of the Company without additional consideration paid to the Company (through any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or otherwise), you shall then receive upon such vesting the number and type of securities or other consideration which you would have received if such Shares had vested prior to the event changing the number or character of the outstanding Common Stock.

You understand that you are responsible for your own tax liability that may arise as a result of this grant of the Shares or any other matters

14

CA#39

related to this Agreement. You understand that Section 83 of the Code treats as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of the Shares as of the date the Shares vest hereunder. Alternatively, you understand that you may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when the Shares vest hereunder by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date. (b) In order to comply with all applicable federal, state or local income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all income and payroll taxes, which are your sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from you at the minimum required withholding rate. (c) In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the Committee administering the Plan, you may elect to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of, or the lapse of restrictions relating to, the Shares (including property attributable to the Shares described in Section 8(b) above) by: (i) delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Vested Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or (iii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The Company will not deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share. Your election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. 10. General Provisions. (a) Interpretations. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the Plan is available upon your request. Terms used herein which are defined in the Plan shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.
