We will recommend to the Compensation Committee that you received a grant of an option to purchase 160,000 shares of Catalyst common stock.  Your option will be granted and priced on the day you commence employment or the date the Compensation Committee approves your grant, whichever comes later.  Your option will vest according to Catalyst’s standard new hire vesting schedule in effect on your grant date, and the vesting period shall begin no earlier than the day you begin employment.

You will also participate in the same executive incentive plan as enjoyed by the other Catalyst Semiconductor Vice Presidents.

The customary severance agreement for Catalyst Vice Presidents will become effective for you upon completion of six months of full-time employment.  The portion of this agreement that would grant you six months salary as severance in the case of your being terminated as a result of a change of control of Catalyst will become effect upon your become effective upon your beginning employment with Catalyst.  This will be subject to your standard terms and conditions that define the details for such arrangements.

Your employment with CSI is “at-will” employment.  This simply means that you and CSI have no agreement, expressed or implied, which would control how long you will work for CSI or what circumstances must exist before the relationship can be terminated.  Rather we are both equally free to terminate our employment relationship at any time, whenever you or Catalyst Semiconductor chooses, regardless of the reason that you or CSI might have for so doing.
