Executive shall perform such duties and responsibilities as are normally related to such position in accordance with the standards of the industry and any additional duties now or hereafter assigned to Executive (“Services”) by Executive’s supervisor and/or the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”). Executive shall abide by the rules, regulations, and practices as adopted or modified from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion. Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

b. Other Activities. Except upon the prior written consent of the Company, Executive will not, during the term of this Agreement: (i) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that might interfere with Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder or create a conflict of interest with the Company; or (ii) acquire any interest of any type in any other business which is in competition with the Company, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit the Executive from acquiring solely as an investment up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity interests of any publicly-held company.

c. No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive’s execution of this Agreement and performance of Services under this Agreement will not violate any obligations Executive may have to any other employer, person or entity, including any obligations to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to becoming an employee of the Company.

The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of (i) four (4) years after the Effective Date of this Agreement; or (ii) the date upon which Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with Section 3 (the “Term”).

a. Base Salary. In consideration of the Services to be rendered under this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive a gross salary at the rate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) per year, less applicable withholdings (“Base Salary”).

Thereafter, all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease other than those set forth in Section 4.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) material breach of this Agreement by the Company; or (ii) a change in Executive’s position under this Agreement from Chief Executive Officer (other than a result of termination for Cause).

Such delay shall last six (6) months from the date of Executive’s termination.

b. Resignation and Cooperation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships then held with the Company. Following any termination of employment, Executive shall cooperate with the Company in the winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company and the orderly transfer of work to other employees. Executive shall also cooperate with the Company in the defense of any action brought by any third party against the Company that relates to Executive’s employment by the Company.

c. Continuing Obligations. Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s obligations under Sections 6 and 7 herein (including Exhibit A and Exhibit B) shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason and the termination of this Agreement.

Executive has signed and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit B (“Proprietary Information Agreement”).

The Company and Executive agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, severance of Executive’s employment with the Company, this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof shall be settled by arbitration to be held in San Diego, California, in accordance with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service/Endispute, Inc.

This Agreement may not be amended or waived except by a writing signed by Executive and by an officer or director authorized by the Company’s Board. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breaches. All rights or remedies specified for a party herein shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies of the party hereunder or under applicable law.

a. Assignment. The performance of Executive is personal hereunder, and Executive agrees that Executive shall have no right to assign and shall not assign or purport to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company; and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of the Company or a sale of any or all or substantially all of its assets.
