Directors to nominate the Executive for reelection as a director of the Company and as Chairman of the Board and any failure by the stockholders of the Company to reelect Executive as a director of and as Chairman of the Board of the Company and any removal by the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Executive from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, President, or as director of and as Chairman of the Board of the Company, other than for Cause.

(f) Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than termination pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 7) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

In the event of such termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive any unpaid Base Salary to the Date of Termination, the earned but unpaid Incentive Bonus for any completed fiscal year and any amounts due to Executive pursuant to Section 6(d) through the Date of Termination. Executive’s rights to receive any additional salary or payments under this Agreement shall terminate but Executive shall have the right to continue to receive any and all payments made by an insurance company under any and all policies of disability insurance purchased by the Company. Executive’s rights under any Company benefit plan will be those rights accorded to any terminated employee under the plan provisions and applicable law.

(d) Termination by the Company without Cause (other than for death or Disability) or Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for death, Disability, or Cause, or the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then:

(iv) The obligations of the Company to make any payments to Executive required under Section 8(d) hereof shall be conditioned on the execution and delivery by the Executive of a general release of claims in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

9. Nondisclosure. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. The agreement made in this Section 9 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any obligations otherwise imposed by law or by separate agreement upon the Executive in respect of confidential information of the Company.

10. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Executive shall not, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, persons, company, firm, partnership, corporation, business, group or other entity (each, a “Person”), work in the principal line of business engaged in, or planned to be engaged in, by the Company at the Date of Termination within any state where the Company is doing business or has plans for commencing business as of the Date of Termination. The Executive’s passive ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an action in competition with the Company.

(a) Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that his employment with the Company places him in a position of trust and confidence with respect to the business operations, customers, prospects and personnel of the Company. He agrees that, due to his position and knowledge, his engaging in any business that competes in the principal line of business as the Company will cause the Company significant and irreparable harm.

(b) In consideration of the compensation and benefits extended to him under this Agreement, Executive agrees that, during the term of Executive’s employment by the Company and for twelve (12) months following the Executive’s Date of Termination, the Executive shall not, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person with whom the Executive works or is affiliated:

(i) solicit and/or hire any Person who is on the Date of Termination, or has been within six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination, an employee of the Company or its affiliates;

(ii) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any Person who is, at the Date, of Termination, or has been within six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination, an actual customer, client, business partner, or a prospective customer, client, business partner (i.e., a customer, client or business partner who is party to a written proposal or letter of intent with the

Company, in each case written less than six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination) of the Company, for the purpose or with the intent of (A) inducing or attempting to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates, (B) enticing or attempting to entice such Person to do business with Executive or any affiliate of Executive, or (C) in any way interfering with the relationship between such Person and the Company or its affiliates; or

(iii) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any Person who is or that is, at the time of the Date of Termination, or has been within six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination, a supplier, licensee or consultant of, or provider of goods or services to the Company or its affiliates, for the purpose or with the intent of (A) inducing or attempting to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or its affiliates or (B) in any way interfering with the relationship between such Person and the Company or its affiliates.

(c) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Company for which it would have no other adequate remedy, Executive agrees that the foregoing covenants in this Section 10, in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to the Company at law, in equity or under this Agreement, shall be enforced by the Company in the event of the breach or threatened breach by Executive, by injunctions and/or restraining orders.

(d) It is agreed by the parties that the covenants contained in this Section 10 impose a fair and reasonable restraint on Executive in light of the activities and business of the Company on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of the Company; but it is also the intent of the Company and Executive that such covenants be construed and enforced in accordance with the changing activities, business and locations of the Company and its affiliates throughout the term of these covenants. Executive also acknowledges that this restraint will not prevent him from earning a living in his chosen field of work.

(e) The covenants in this Section 10 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth herein are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent that such court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed to reflect the same.

(f) All of the covenants in this Section 10 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants. It is specifically agreed that the duration of the period during which the agreements and covenants of Executive made in this Section 10 shall be effective shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which Executive is in violation of any provision of this Section 10.

(g) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any applicable law, judicial ruling or order shall reduce the time period during which Executive shall be prohibited from engaging in any

competitive activity described in Section 10 hereof, the period of time for which Executive shall be prohibited pursuant to Section 10 hereof shall be the maximum time permitted by law.

11. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of successors and permitted assigns of the parties. This Agreement may not be assigned, nor may performance of any duty hereunder be delegated, by either party without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, the Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to its business, including but not limited to in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation.

12. Additional Payments by the Company.

(a) If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any option, share appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment or payments (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

(b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 12, including whether an Excise Tax is payable by Executive and the amount of such Excise Tax and whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, will be made by the Company’s then current outside auditors; provided that if that firm is unwilling or unable to provide such services, another accounting firm may be selected by the Company (such accounting firm the “Accounting Firm”). The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and Executive within 30 calendar days after the date of the change in control or the date of Executive’s termination of employment, if applicable, and any other such time or times as may be requested by the Company or Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that any Excise Tax is payable by Executive, the Company will pay the required Gross-Up Payment to Executive no later than five calendar days prior to the due date for Executive’s income tax return on which the Excise Tax is included. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it will, at the same time as it makes such determination, furnish Executive with an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on Ms federal, state, local income or other tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment will be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and the possibility of similar uncertainty

regarding applicable state or local tax law at the time of any determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Section 12(f) hereof and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, Executive shall so notify the Company, which will direct the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and Executive as promptly as possible. Any such Underpayment will be promptly paid by the Company to, or for the benefit of, Executive within five business days after receipt of such determination and calculations.

(c) The Company and Executive will each provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of the Company or Executive, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determination contemplated by Section 12(b) hereof.

(d) The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by Executive will be prepared and filed on a consistent basis with the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax payable by Executive. To the extent the Excise Tax has not been previously withheld from amounts paid to the Executive, Executive will make proper payment of the amount of any Excise Tax, and at the request of the Company, provide to the Company true and correct copies (with any amendments) of his federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service and corresponding state and local tax returns, if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing authority, and such other documents reasonably requested by the Company, evidencing such payment. If prior to the filing of Executive’s federal income tax return, or corresponding state or local tax return, if relevant, the Accounting Firm determines that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment should be reduced, Executive will within five business days pay to the Company the amount of such reduction.

(e) The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by Sections 12(b) and 12(d) hereof will be borne by the Company. If such fees and expenses are initially advanced by Executive, the Company will reimburse Executive the full amount of such fees and expenses within five business days after receipt from Executive of a statement therefore and reasonable evidence of his payment thereof.

(f) Executive will notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification will be given as promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) business days after Executive actually receives notice of such claim and Executive will further apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid (in each case, to the extent known by Executive). Executive will not pay such claim prior to the earlier of (x) the expiration of the 30-calendar-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company and (y) the date that any payment of amount with respect to such

claim is due. If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive will:

(i) provide the Company with any written records or documents in his possession relating to such claim reasonably requested by the Company;

(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company reasonably requests in writing from time to time, including without limitation accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney competent in respect of the subject matter and reasonably selected by the Company;

(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim; and

(iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company will bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and will indemnify and hold harmless Executive, on an after-tax basis, for and against any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(f), the Company will control all proceedings taken in connection with the contest of any claim contemplated by this Section 12(f) and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim (provided that Executive may participate therein at his own cost and expense) and may, at its option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company will determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund, the Company will advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and will indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest or penalties with respect thereto, imposed with respect to such advance; and provided further, however, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which the contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of any such contested claim will be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive will be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

(g) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 12(1) hereof, Executive receives any refund with respect to such claim, Executive will (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 12(f)) hereof) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after any taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 12(f) hereof, a determination is made that Executive will not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not

notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial or refund prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days after such determination, then such advance will be forgiven and will not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance will offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid pursuant to this Section 12. If, after the receipt by Executive of a Gross-Up Payment but before the payment by Executive of the Excise Tax, it is determined by the Accounting Firm that the Excise Tax payable by Executive is less than the amount originally computed by the Accounting Firm and consequently that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment is larger than that required by this Section 12, Executive shall promptly refund to the Company the amount by which the Gross-Up Payment initially made to Executive exceeds the Gross-Up Payment required under this Section 12.

13. Continued Performance. Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder if so provided herein or if necessary or desirable fully to accomplish the purposes of such provisions, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Executive under the terms and conditions of Sections 9 and 10. Any obligation of the Company to make payments to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 8 is expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued performance of the Executive’s obligations under Sections 9 and 10 for the time periods stated in Sections 9 and 10. The Executive recognizes that, except to the extent, if any, provided in Section 8, the Executive will earn no compensation from the Company after the Date of Termination.

14. Notices. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

15. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

(a) Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall deemed to be in an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(i) Arbitrable Claims. All disputes between Executive (and Executive’s attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company (and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner whatsoever to the employment or termination of Executive, including, without (imitation, all disputes arising under this Agreement (“Arbitrable Claims”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. All persons and entities specified in the preceding sentence (other than Company and Executive) shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of the rights and obligations created by this Section 15. Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract (express or implied) and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims under applicable workers’ compensation law and unemployment insurance claims. By way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, Arbitrable Claims shall include any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as well as any claims asserting wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent or intentional misrepresentation, negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage, defamation, invasion of privacy, and claims related to disability. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the

parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims, except that the Company may, at its option, seek interim injunctive relief and other provisional remedies in court as set forth in Section 15 (vi) of this Agreement. The parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury in regard to Arbitrable Claims.

(ii) Procedure. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association, as amended (“AAA Employment Rules”), as augmented in this Agreement. Arbitration shall be initiated as provided by the AAA Employment Rules, although the written notice to the other party initiating arbitration shall also include a statement of the claim(s) asserted and all the facts upon which the claim(s) are based. Either party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative action in any way related to any Arbitrable Claim. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Orange County, California. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15.

(iii) Arbitrator Selection and Authority. All disputes involving Arbitrable Claims shall be decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify the AAA and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Employment Rules. The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claim(s) asserted and any action of the arbitrator in contravention of this limitation maybe the subject of court appeal by the aggrieved party. No other aspect of any ruling by the arbitrator shall be appealable, and, except for being limited to relief that would be available in a court proceeding, all other aspects of the arbitrator’s ruling shall be final and non-appealable. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the Company. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitrable Claims, including, but not limited to, whether any particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this Agreement is void or unenforceable.

(iv) Confidentiality. All proceedings and all documents prepared in connection with any Arbitrable Claim shall be confidential and, unless otherwise required by law, the subject matter thereof shall not be disclosed to any person other than the parties to the proceedings, their counsel, witnesses and experts, the arbitrator, and, if involved, the court and court staff. All documents filed with the arbitrator or with a court shall be filed under seal. The parties shall stipulate to all arbitration and court orders necessary to effectuate fully the provisions of this subsection concerning confidentiality.

(v) Continuing Obligations. The rights and obligations of Executive and the Company set forth in this Section 15 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the expiration of this Agreement.

(vi) Exceptions for Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to provide for interim relief pending the finalization of arbitration proceedings hereunder,

nothing in this Section 15 shall prohibit the Company from pursuing a claim for interim injunctive relief, for other applicable provisional remedies, and for related attorneys’ fees in a court of competent jurisdiction from Executive’s breach of Executive’s obligations set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, Sections 3, 9, 10 and 15 of this Agreement.

(d) Executive’s Legal Expenses. In the event that the Executive institutes any proceeding to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the Executive, if he is the prevailing party, shall be entitled to recover from the Company any actual expenses for attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred by him.

(c) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland (and the law of any other appropriate jurisdiction after any reincorporation of the Company) against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred by Executive, in connection with the defense of, or as a result of any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) in which Executive is made or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of the Company, regardless of whether such action or proceeding is one brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor (or other than by or in the right of the Company); provided, however, that this indemnification provision shall not apply to any action or proceeding relating to a dispute between the Company and the Executive based on any alleged breach or violation of this Agreement.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the date and year first above written.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made this 29th day of August, 2005, by and between People’s Choice Financial Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx (the “Executive”).

The Executive and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement on December 21, 2004 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to nominate the Executive as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Executive and the Company recognize that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders for the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer not to be held by one person. In consideration of the Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Executive and the Company desire to enter into this Amendment (i) to remove the Company’s obligation to nominate the Executive as Chairman of the Board and (ii) require that the Executive tender his resignation as a member of the Board upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

In order to effect the foregoing, the Company and the Executive wish to enter into this Amendment on the terms and conditions set forth below. Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendment to Section 3. Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

The Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as he may have as of the date hereof and as may from time to time be assigned to the Executive by the Board that are consistent with such responsibilities, duties and authority.

2. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of successors and permitted assigns of the parties. This Amendment may not be assigned, nor may performance of any duty hereunder be delegated, by either party without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, the Company may assign this Amendment to any successor to its business, including but not limited to in connection with any subsequent merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or similar transaction involving the Company or a successor corporation.

3. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Amendment may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Amendment to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same

or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in the Agreement or this Amendment. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

(a) Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Amendment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Amendment, which shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall deemed to be in an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(c) Entire Agreement. The Agreement and this Amendment set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

(d) Continuing Effectiveness. Except as herein amended, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without change or modification and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment on the date and year first above written.
