The Parties desire to establish additional terms concerning the termination of Executive's employment relationship with the Company, as set forth herein. In consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Executive's employment relationship with the Company shall terminate at the end of business on May 3, 2002, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, and as modified by the terms of this Second Amendment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Executive's employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company terminated on April 8, 2002 and Executive's service as a member of the Company's Board of Directors terminated on April 8, 2002. 2.

The Company shall pay Executive the sum of $170,000 (the "CASH SEVERANCE"). The Company shall make such payment in installments as follows: $70,000 of the Cash Severance shall be paid on or before the 15th day following the Separation Date and the remaining $100,000 shall be paid in six (6) equal monthly installments pursuant to the Company's regular payroll schedule and policies commencing with the first pay day following Executive's execution of the Continuing Representations Certificate. Executive acknowledges that the Cash Severance exceeds, and will be paid in lieu of, the cash severance benefits set forth in Section 1(c) of the Agreement, as amended by Sections 2(a) and 3 of the First Amendment. An additional $30,000 that would otherwise be payable to Executive as cash severance will be satisfied through the issuance of stock as set forth in Section 2(c) below.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company is not obligated to utilize Executive's services during the consulting period. (c) Series F Shares. At such time that the Company effects the final closing of its Series F Preferred Stock Financing (the "SERIES F FINANCING"), the Company will issue to Executive, pursuant to the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement executed by other investors in the Series F Financing (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), 47,016 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, against delivery of signature pages to the Purchase Agreement and the other related agreements duly executed by Executive. The Parties agree that the Company will withhold from any cash payments made to Executive such amounts as are required to be withheld and paid to the applicable taxing authorities as a result of income recognized by Executive from the issuance of shares pursuant to this Section 2(c). (d) All Other Benefits. Executive's rights to all other severance benefits as described in Section 2 of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms described therein; provided, however, that Executive acknowledges that he previously has been paid any and all 2002 Cash Bonuses that the Company was obligated to pay to Executive pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Agreement. 3. Repricing Rights. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration for the benefits described herein, he shall have no further rights to the benefits described in Section 2(b) of the First Amendment and shall have no other rights to have the exercise price of his Options reduced or to receive a cash bonus or grant of securities in lieu of a reduction in the exercise price of his Options under any prior agreement with the Company, whether oral or written. Executive acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Second Amendment shall entitle Executive to any additional equity interest in the Company (other than to the limited extent that vesting of Executive's Options is continued during the term of the Consulting Agreement) and that Executive shall have no right, title or interest in or to any shares of the Company's capital stock or other securities other than as set forth in the Agreement. 4. Use of Promissory Notes.

The terms of this Second Amendment may be modified only by written agreement of the Parties. -2- 7. This Second Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. 8. Any payments made or consideration provided pursuant to this Second Amendment shall be subject to reduction to reflect taxes or other charges required to be withheld by law or otherwise authorized to be withheld by Executive. 9. The Agreement (as revised by the First Amendment and this Second Amendment), and the exhibits hereto and thereto, represent the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning Executive's separation from the Company, and supersede and replace any and all prior agreements and understandings on the matters addressed herein and therein, including but not limited to the Offer Letter (with the exception of Sections 1 and 5 thereof, which shall survive until the Separation Date, and the definitions set forth in Section 10(e) thereof, which are incorporated in the Agreement and this Second Amendment by reference).
