7. Payments and Other Entitlements As a Result of Termination. Employee’s sole entitlements as a result of a termination under Paragraph 6 shall be as set forth below.

(a) Death or Disability. Following termination due to death or Disability, Employee (or Employee’s estate, as applicable) shall be entitled to payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination and for a period of three (3) months thereafter (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, and an amount on account of the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (pro-rated through the date of termination, and assuming achievement of performance targets at 100%) (in the case of each of the last two amounts, payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such death or Disability). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee (or Employee’s estate, as applicable) pursuant to this subparagraph (a) shall be paid no later than the 90^th day following the date of termination. In addition, Employee’s stock options and restricted stock grants shall automatically vest in full, and the stock options shall remain exercisable for the balance of their remaining terms.

(b) Termination With Cause by the Company or Termination Without Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment terminates as a result of a Termination With Cause or Termination Without Good Reason, then subject to the provisions of subparagraph 8(c), Employee shall be entitled only to payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices), amounts accrued or payable under any Other Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein), any accrued but unused vacation time, any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses, and any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant (payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such termination). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall be paid no later than the 90^th day following the date of termination.

(c) Termination Without Cause by the Company or Termination With Good Reason by Employee. If Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Termination Without Cause or Termination With Good Reason, and subject to Employee’s entering into an agreement containing a release by Employee of the Company with respect to all matters relating to Employee’s employment and the termination thereof (other than rights under this Agreement which by their express terms continue following termination of employment and any vested rights under any compensation or benefit plan or program) within thirty (30) days following the date of termination, in a form and containing terms as the Company customarily requires of terminated employees receiving salary continuation payments:

(i) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment or receipt thereof, Employee shall be entitled to: (A) receive Employee’s then-current Base Salary in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and (B) participate in the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans and programs at the same cost to Employee as is applicable to active employees; in each case for the period of time set forth on Schedule 1 following the date of termination. Employee’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”) shall run concurrently with Employee’s participation during such period of time. To the extent the provision of health and welfare benefits to Employee pursuant to subparagraph (B) above constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and its implementing regulations and guidance, the provision of such benefits shall be subject to the terms and conditions of subparagraph 13(a).

(ii) Employee shall also receive payment of Employee’s then-current Base Salary through the date of termination (payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices); amounts accrued or payable under any Benefit Plans (payable at such times as provided therein); any accrued but unused vacation time; any amounts payable for any unreimbursed business expenses; and any amount that otherwise would have been payable in the current year on account of the prior year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant payable at such time as otherwise applicable absent such termination). Except as otherwise provided herein, any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall be paid no later than the 90^th day following the date of termination.

(iii) Employee shall be obligated to seek reasonable other employment during the period in which Employee receives salary continuation payments under subparagraph (i) above, and the Company may request reasonable periodic written reports evidencing Employee’s efforts to obtain such employment. Such salary continuation payments shall be subject to reduction in the amount of any salary, bonus, vested equity or other compensation earned or received by Employee for services through employment or self-employment during or on account of the period of time of salary continuation. Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such employment and amounts. The Company’s obligation to continue health and welfare benefits shall cease upon Employee’s eligibility for health and welfare benefits from any subsequent employer.

(iv) Provided Employee is alive at the time of payment, Employee shall be entitled to receive payment on account of: (A) the current year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, without proration; and (B) the following year’s Cash Bonus Plan grant, pro-rated based on the number of full months of employment in the year of termination; in each case, assuming achievement of performance targets at 100% (payable at such times as otherwise applicable absent such termination).

(v) Provided Employee is alive at the time of vesting, Employee shall have the right to continued vesting of Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1, as if there had been no termination of employment (subject to the achievement of any performance conditions in Restricted Stock Plan grants). Provided Employee is alive at the time of exercise, Employee shall have the right to exercise any vested Stock Option Plan grants through the period of time set forth on Schedule 1.

8. Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition; Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges and agrees that: Employee’s skills, experience, knowledge and reputation are of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company; Employee is and will continue to be privy to confidential and proprietary information, processes and know-how of the Company, the confidentiality of which has significant value to the Company and its future success; and the restrictions on Employee’s activities as set forth below are necessary to protect the value of the goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Based upon the foregoing, Employee agrees as follows:

(a) While employed by the Company (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of one year after termination of Employee’s employment for any reason (whether during the Term or thereafter), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) hire any employee of the Company (other than as a result of a general solicitation); (ii) solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to influence any employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, service provider or supplier of the Company to cease to do business or terminate the employment or other relationship with the Company; or (iii) assist any other person, firm or entity in doing or performing any of the acts that Employee is prohibited from doing under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above.

(b) (i) WHILE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY (WHETHER DURING THE TERM OR THEREAFTER), AND FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO THE REGULAR END DATE BY EMPLOYEE (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH GOOD REASON) OR BY THE COMPANY AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH CAUSE, EMPLOYEE SHALL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE OR BE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED IN (AS AN AGENT, CONSULTANT, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, OFFICER, OWNER, PARTNER, MEMBER, PRINCIPAL OR OTHERWISE), ANY ACTIVITIES FOR A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS. A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS MEANS A BUSINESS (WHETHER CONDUCTED BY AN ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL, INCLUDING EMPLOYEE IN SELF-EMPLOYMENT) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH ANY ENTITY CONTROLLING, CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH SUCH BUSINESS, WITH ANY OF THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES CARRIED ON BY THE COMPANY OR BEING PLANNED BY THE COMPANY WITH EMPLOYEE’S PARTICIPATION.

(ii) TO APPROPRIATELY TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESSES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY BUSINESS ENGAGED IN ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 2 SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS UNDER SUBPARAGRAPH (i) ABOVE.

(iii) THIS RESTRICTION SHALL APPLY IN ANY GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN THE WORLD IN WHICH THE COMPANY CARRIES OUT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT NOT SPECIFYING A MORE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC AREA IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE BROAD GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE COMPANY IN THE WORLD.

(iv) For purposes of clarification of their intent, the parties agree that subparagraph (i) above restricts Employee from working on the account, or otherwise for the benefit, of a Competitive Business as a result of Employee’s working as an employee, consultant or in any other capacity for a company or other entity that provides consulting, advisory, lobbying or similar services to other businesses.

(v) Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from owning for investment up to one percent (1%) of any class of equity security of an entity whose securities are traded on a national securities exchange or market.

(c) IF EMPLOYEE TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF A TERMINATION WITH GOOD REASON) AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING THE REGULAR END DATE, THEN PROVIDED THE COMPANY SO ELECTS BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO EMPLOYEE GIVEN WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF SUCH TERMINATION: (i) THE PROVISIONS OF SUBPARAGRAPH (b) ABOVE SHALL APPLY TO EMPLOYEE FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING SUCH TERMINATION, PROVIDED THAT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH THE TERM COMPETITIVE BUSINESS SHALL MEAN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES (OR THEIR SUCCESSORS) THAT IS ENGAGED IN COMPETITION WITH THE COMPANY’S BUSINESSES, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH ANY PARENT, SUBSIDIARY, AFFILIATE, JOINT VENTURE, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHERWISE: AT&T INC.; CENTURYLINK, INC.; DIRECTTV, INC.; DISH NETWORK CORPORATION; ECHOSTAR HOLDING CORPORATION; AND VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC.; AND (ii) THE COMPANY SHALL PROVIDE TO EMPLOYEE, FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING SUCH TERMINATION, THE PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED IN SUBPARAGRAPHS 7(c)(i) AND 7(c)(iv) ON THE TERMS SET FORTH THEREIN (INCLUDING SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SUBPARAGRAPH 7(c)(iii)), AS IF EMPLOYEE HAD TERMINATED WITHOUT CAUSE.

(d) During the Term and at all times thereafter, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use for Employee’s personal benefit, or disclose to or use for the direct or indirect benefit of anyone other than the Company (except as may be required within the scope of Employee’s duties hereunder), any secret or confidential information, knowledge or data of the Company or any of its employees, officers, directors or agents (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: the terms and conditions of this Agreement; sales, marketing and other business methods; policies, plans, procedures, strategies and techniques; research and development projects and results; software and firmware; trade secrets, know-how, processes and other intellectual property; information on or relating to past,

present or prospective employees or suppliers; and information on or relating to past, present or prospective customers, including customer lists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is generally available to the public; (ii) is available to Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided such source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to Employee by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) has been independently developed by Employee, as evidenced by written records. Employee agrees that Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company, and agrees that, immediately upon Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (including after the Term), Employee shall deliver to the Company all correspondence, documents, books, records, lists and other materials containing Confidential Information that are within Employee’s possession or control, regardless of the medium in which such materials are maintained. Employee shall retain no copies thereof in any medium. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees neither to prepare, participate in or assist in the preparation of any article, book, speech or other writing or communication relating to the past, present or future business, operations, personnel or prospects of the Company, nor to encourage or assist others to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion). Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from: (A) complying with a valid subpoena or other legal requirement for disclosure of Confidential Information, provided that Employee shall use good faith efforts to notify the Company promptly and in advance of disclosure if Employee believes Employee is under a legal requirement to disclose Confidential Information otherwise protected from disclosure under this subparagraph; or (B) disclosing the terms and conditions of this Agreement to Employee’s spouse or tax, accounting or legal advisors, or as necessary to enforce this Agreement.

(e) Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, in light of the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged and Employee’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation of these restrictions would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Employee therefore agrees that, in the event of Employee’s violation or threatened violation of any of these restrictions: (i) the Company shall have the right to suspend or terminate any unaccrued payment obligations to Employee hereunder and/or Employee’s unaccrued rights under any compensation or benefit plans and programs hereunder or thereunder (including in each case any arising following termination of employment); and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction: (A) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against Employee; (B) damages from Employee (including the Company’s reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses); and (C) an equitable accounting of all compensation, commissions, earnings, profits and other benefits to Employee arising from such violation; all of which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the Company may be entitled as set forth herein or as a matter of law.

(f) Employee agrees that if any part of the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 8, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of such restrictions or the application thereof shall not be affected and the remaining restrictions

shall have full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions. If any restriction is held to be unenforceable because of the area covered, the duration thereof or the scope thereof, Employee agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the area and/or the duration, and/or limit the scope thereof, and the restriction shall then be enforceable in its reduced form.

(g) If Employee violates any such restrictions, the period of such violation (from the commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation shall be cured by Employee) shall not count toward or be included in any applicable restrictive period.

(h) Employee agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity at any time during the one-year period following termination of employment referred to in subparagraph (b)(i) or (c)(i) above, Employee will provide the prospective employer with written notice of the provisions of this Paragraph 8, with a copy of such notice provided simultaneously to the Company.

9. Non-Derogatory Statements. During the period of Employee’s employment (whether during the Term or thereafter), and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, neither party shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any communication with any person or entity, including: (i) any actual or potential employer of Employee; (ii) any actual or potential employee, customer, consultant, independent contractor, investor, lender, service provider or supplier of the Company; or (iii) any media outlet; which constitutes a derogatory or disparaging statement – orally, written or otherwise – against the other party or, in the case of the Company, any of its employees, officers or directors. The foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict either party’s obligation to testify truthfully in any proceeding or cooperate in any governmental investigation.

10. Company Property.

(a) To the extent any Company Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) is not already owned by the Company as a matter of law or prior written assignment by Employee to the Company, Employee hereby assigns to the Company, and agrees to assign the Company in the future (to the extent necessary), all right, title and interest that Employee now has or acquires in the future in and to any and all Company Intellectual Property. Employee shall further cooperate with the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing its interests in Company Intellectual Property. Such cooperation shall be at the Company’s expense, and shall include, at the Company’s election, without limitation, signing all documents reasonably requested by the Company for patent, copyright and other Intellectual Property (as defined in subparagraph (e) below) applications and registrations, and individual assignments thereof, and providing other reasonably requested assistance. Employee’s obligation to assist the Company in obtaining, protecting and enforcing Intellectual Property rights shall continue following Employee’s employment with the Company, but the Company shall be obliged to compensate Employee at a then prevailing reasonable consulting rate for any time spent and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the Company’s request for providing such assistance. Such compensation shall be paid irrespective of, and is not contingent upon, the substance of any testimony Employee may give or provide while assisting the Company.

(b) Employee shall use reasonable efforts to promptly disclose to the Company, or any person(s) designated by the Company, all Intellectual Property that is created, conceived or reduced to practice by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether or not patentable or copyrightable or believed by Employee to be patentable or copyrighted, including without limitation any Intellectual Property (to be held in confidence by the Company) that qualifies fully as a nonassignable invention under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (“Nonassignable IP”). If Employee contends that any such Intellectual Property qualifies as Nonassignable IP, Employee will promptly so notify the Company, and Employee agrees to cooperate fully with a review and verification process by the Company. In addition, Employee will promptly disclose to the Company (to be held in confidence) all patent applications filed by Employee or on his or her behalf within six months after termination of employment, and to cooperate fully with a review and determination by the Company as to whether such patent applications constitute or include Company Intellectual Property or Confidential Information. Employee has reviewed the notification on Schedule 3 and agrees that Employee’s execution hereof acknowledges receipt of such notification.

(c) In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Employee’s signature on any lawful and necessary document to apply for, execute or otherwise further prosecute or register any patent or copyright application or any other Intellectual Property application or registration, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee to execute and file such lawful and necessary documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further prosecute, issue and/or register patents, copyrights and any other Intellectual Property rights registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.

(d) To the extent any materials, including written, graphic or computer programmed materials, authored, prepared, contributed to or written by Employee, in whole or in part, during the term of employment by the Company and relating in whole or in part to the business, products, services, research or development of the Company or its suppliers, distributors or customers qualify as “work made for hire,” as such term is defined and used in the copyright laws of the United States, then such materials shall be done by Employee as “work made for hire” under such law.

(e) “Intellectual Property” means any and all ideas, inventions, formulae, know how, trade secrets, devices, designs, models, methods, techniques, processes, specifications, tooling, computer programs, software code, works of authorship, copyrighted and copyrightable works, mask works, trademarks and service marks, Internet domain names, technical and product information, patents and patent applications throughout the world and any other intellectual property rights or applications throughout the world. “Company Intellectual Property” means any

Intellectual Property created, fixed, conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, whether or not such Intellectual Property is patentable or copyrightable, either (i) that relates to the Company’s current or planned businesses or (ii) that is created, etc. during working hours, in the performance of Employee’s duties or using the Company’s information, facilities or equipment or other assets. “Company Intellectual Property” does not include Nonassignable IP.

11. Representations.

(a) Employee represents that:

(i) Employee has had the opportunity to retain and consult with legal counsel and tax advisors of Employee’s choice regarding the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles, this Agreement is enforceable against Employee in accordance with its terms.

(iii) This Agreement, and the performance of Employee’s obligations hereunder, do not conflict with, violate or give rise to any rights of other persons or entities under, any agreement, benefit plan or program, order, decree or judgment to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is bound.

(b) The Company represents that:

(i) Subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles, this Agreement is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

(ii) This Agreement, and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, do not conflict with, violate or give rise to any rights to other persons or entities under, any agreement, order, decree or judgment to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

12. Withholding/Deductions. All compensation under this Agreement is subject to applicable tax withholding requirements and other deductions required by law. Employee agrees that the Company is entitled to deduct from monies payable and reimbursable to Employee hereunder all sums that Employee may owe the Company at any time.

13. Section 409A.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Employee does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses

eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Employee is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(b) For purposes of the application of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision), each payment in a series of payments provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment or benefit described in Paragraph 7 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall only be paid or provided to Employee upon his “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation). To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code to payments due to Employee upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Employee’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Employee in a lump sum immediately following that six month period. In the event Employee dies during that six month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas.Reg.§1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of the Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days following Employee’s death. This provision shall not be construed as preventing payments pursuant to Paragraph 7 equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Employee’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code, being paid to Employee in the first six months following his “separation from service.”

(d) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all benefits or payments provided by the Company to Employee that would be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code or an applicable exemption.

Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or actual demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or
