WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, MEMS is desirous of offering employment to the Executive on
the Effective Date pursuant to the terms and conditions and for the
consideration set forth in this Agreement, and Executive is desirous of being
employed by MEMS pursuant to such terms and conditions and for such
consideration.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual
promises, covenants, and obligations contained herein, MEMS and Executive agree
as follows:
Article 1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES
1.1 MEMS agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be
employed by MEMS, beginning as of the Effective Date and continuing until the
date of termination of Executive's employment pursuant to the provisions of
Article 3 (the "Term"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.2 Beginning as of the Effective Date, Executive shall be employed as
Chief Financial Officer. Executive agrees to serve in the assigned position or
in such other executive capacities as may be requested from time to time by the
Employer and to perform diligently and to the best of Executive's Abilities the
duties and services pertaining to such positions as reasonably determined by
MEMS, as well as such additional or different duties and Services appropriate to
such positions which Executive from time to time may be reasonably directed to
perform by MEMS.
1.3 Executive shall at all times comply with and be subject to such
policies and procedures as MEMS may establish from time to time, including,
without limitation, the MEMS Company Code of Business Conduct (The "Code of
Business Conduct").
1.4 Executive shall, during the period of Executive's employment,
devote Executive's full business time, energy, and best efforts to the business
and affairs of MEMS. Executive may not engage, directly or indirectly, in any
other business, investment, or activity that is in competition with the Business
of MEMS or interferes with Executive's performance of Executive's duties
hereunder, is contrary to the interest of MEMS or any of MEMS subsidiaries and
divisions collectively, the "MEMS Entities" or, individually, a "MEMS Entity"),
or requires any significant portion of Executive's business time. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the parties agree that Executive may engage in passive personal
investments and other business activities which do not conflict with the
business and affairs of the MEMS Entities or interfere with Executive's
performance of his duties hereunder; provided that Executive may own up to 2% of
any public company that competes with MEMS. Executive may not serve on the board
of directors of any entity other than a MEMS Entity during the Term without the
approval thereof in accordance with MEMS policies and procedures regarding such
service. Executive shall be permitted to retain any compensation received for
approved service on any unaffiliated corporation's board of directors.
1.5 Executive agrees that Executive owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty
and care to MEMS and must act at all times in the best interests of MEMS and the
other MEMS Entities and not act in a manner which would, directly or indirectly,
injure any such entity's business, interests or reputation. Executive
acknowledges that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or
benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which
interest might in any way adversely affect MEMS, or any MEMS Entity involves a
possible conflict of interest. Accordingly, Executive agrees that Executive will
not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with MEMS or the MEMS
Entities, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue.
Moreover, Executive shall not engage in any activity that might involve a
possible conflict of interest without first obtaining approval in accordance
with MEMS's policies and procedures.

employment following a termination of employment pursuant to which a severance
benefit payment under Section 3.3 is owing and the amounts due Executive
pursuant to Section 3.3 shall not be reduced or suspended if Executive accepts
subsequent employment or earns any amounts as a self-employed individual.

against MEMS or its Affiliates and MEMS' sole and exclusive liability to
Executive under this Agreement, in contract, tort or otherwise, for the
termination of his employment relationship with MEMS.

relationship does not terminate those obligations imposed by this Agreement
which are continuing obligations, including, without limitation, Executive's
obligations under Article 4.
3.6 In the event that MEMS or any Subsequent Employer should file for
bankruptcy under 11 U.S.C. Section 701, et. seq., commonly known as a Chapter 7
Liquidation proceeding, Employee shall be released from the requirements of
Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereunder.
Article 4. OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
4.1 Executive acknowledges that the businesses of MEMS and MEMS
Affiliates are highly competitive and that their strategies, methods, books,
records, and documents, their technical information concerning their products,
equipment, services, and processes, procurement procedures and pricing
techniques, the names of and other information (such as credit and financial
data) concerning their customers and business affiliates, all comprise
confidential business information and trade secrets which are valuable, special,
and unique assets which MEMS or MEMS Affiliates use in their business to obtain
a competitive advantage over their competitors. Executive further acknowledges
that protection of such confidential business information and trade secrets
against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to MEMS and
MEMS Affiliates in maintaining their competitive position. Executive hereby
agrees that Executive will not, at any time during or after his employment by
MEMS, make any unauthorized disclosure of any confidential business information
or trade secrets, or make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of his
employment responsibilities hereunder. Confidential business information shall
not include information in the public domain (but only if the same becomes part
of the public domain through a means other than a disclosure prohibited
6
hereunder). The above notwithstanding, a disclosure shall not be unauthorized if
(i) it is required by law or by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) it is
in connection with any judicial, arbitration, dispute resolution or other legal
proceeding in which Executive's legal rights and obligations as an Executive
under this Agreement are at issue; provided, however, that Executive shall, to
the extent practicable and lawful in any such events, give prior notice to MEMS
of his intent to disclose any such confidential business information in such
context so as to allow MEMS or its affiliates an opportunity (which Executive
will not oppose) to obtain such protective orders or similar relief with respect
thereto as may be deemed appropriate.
4.2 All records, files, lists, including computer generated lists,
drawings, documents, equipment and similar items related to MEMS business that
Executive shall prepare or receive from MEMS or from a third party as a result
of employment by MEMS shall remain MEMS' sole and exclusive property. Executive
will not copy or cause to be copied, print out, or cause to be printed out any
software, documents or other materials originating with or belonging to MEMS
other than in connection with performing his duties. Upon termination of his
employment with MEMS, Executive shall promptly return to MEMS all property of
MEMS in his possession or control and will not retain in his possession or
control any software, documents or other materials originating with or belonging
to MEMS.
Article 5. NON SOLICITATION; NON DISPARAGEMENT
5.1 During Executive's employment by MEMS hereunder and during a period
of two (2) years following the date of termination of his employment with MEMS,
Executive will not, directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, partner,
shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, or through
any other "person" (which, for purposes of this subsection, shall mean an
individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock company,
a trust, any unincorporated organization, or a government or political
subdivision thereof), (1) hire or attempt to hire any employee of MEMS or any
Affiliate of MEMS or any person who was an employee of MEMS or any Affiliate of
MEMS at any time during the twelve months immediately prior to the termination
of Executive's employment with MEMS, assist in such hiring by any other person,
encourage any such employee to terminate his relationship with MEMS or any
Affiliate of MEMS; and (2) directly or indirectly, request or cause customers,
suppliers or other parties with whom MEMS or any of its Affiliates has a
business relationship to cancel or terminate any such business relationship with
MEMS or any of its Affiliates.
Executive covenants and agrees that during his employment by MEMS he
will not directly or indirectly receive any remuneration from MEMS or anyone
connected with MEMS except as provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise approved by the Board of Directors in writing. Executive further
covenants and agrees that at no time during or after his employment by MEMS will
the Executive disparage MEMS or any of its affiliates, shareholders, directors,
officers, employees, or agents.

Article 6. INVENTIONS
6.1 MEMS has hired Executive to work full time so anything
Executive produces during the period of his employment with MEMS and applicable
to the business of MEMS is the property of MEMS. Any writing, invention, design,
system, process, development or discovery (each a "Development") conceived,
developed, created or made by Executive, alone or with others, during the period
of his employment with MEMS and applicable to the business of MEMS, whether or
not patentable, registerable or copyrightable, shall become the sole and
exclusive property of MEMS. Executive shall disclose the same promptly and
completely to MEMS, and shall, during the period of his employment with MEMS,
and any time and from time to time thereafter, (1) execute all documents
reasonably requested by MEMS for the purpose of vesting in MEMS the entire
right, title and interest in and to the same, (2) execute all documents
reasonably requested by MEMS for filing such applications for and procuring all
patents, trademarks, service marks or copyrights as MEMS, in its sole
discretion, may desire to prosecute, and (3) give MEMS all assistance it may
reasonably require, including the giving of testimony in any suit, action,
investigation or other proceeding, in order to obtain, maintain, and protect
MEMS's right therein and thereto; provided, however, that, in accordance with
California Labor Code Sections 2870 and 2872, the provisions of this Section 6.1
shall not apply to any Development that the Executive developed entirely on his
own time without using MEMS equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret
information except for those Developments that either:
6.1.1 relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the Development to MEMS' business, or
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development of MEMS; or
6.1.2 result from any work performed by Executive for MEMS.
If such assistance is requested after Executive's employment has
terminated, MEMS shall pay Executive reasonable compensation in respect of, and
reimburse Executive for Executive's reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with, rendering such assistance and performing such acts. Executive shall not
have or claim any right, title or interest in any trade name, trademark,
copyright or other similar rights belonging to or used by MEMS.

time.
7.5 Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the
transfer of Executive's employment to another MEMS Entity ("Subsequent

hereof; provided, however, that, effective with such transfer, all of Employer's
obligations hereunder shall be assumed by and be binding upon, and all of
Employer's rights hereunder shall be assigned to, such Subsequent Employer and
