Dear Yongsam:

We are pleased to offer you the position of Network Administrator at a starting salary of $70,000 per year. We shall expect you to start no later than March 1, 1996. Because of the nature of your position, you will occasionally be expected to work during non-standard business hours.

In order for you to meet commitments to your previous employer, UCI, you will be allowed to take unpaid personal time off in half or one day increments for a total time off that is not to exceed two weeks. This time off must be taken during the period from March 1, 1996 to July 1, 1996. Any future time off will be subject to the normal company policy.

As a member of the Team, you will be eligible to receive options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan as may be determined by the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Mr. Joe Kiani, President and CEO, shall recommend to the Board to issue you an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock, vesting over 5 years and exercisable at fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, at the time the option is granted.

This is an exempt position. You will receive group medical and dental care at the Company’s expense in accordance with our group medical plan, with dependent coverage available at your expense. This coverage should begin on the first day of your employment. You will be accorded all of the benefits set forth in our Employee Handbook and you will agree to abide by the policies and procedures set forth in our Employee Handbook. The policies and procedures of the Employee Handbook may be amended from time to time at the direction of the Board of Directors.

This letter sets forth all the terms of our offer, and it supersedes all prior agreements and discussions. These terms cannot be modified or amended by any supervisor or by any action of the Company except a written agreement signed by the President.

To confirm that you agree to these terms, please sign and date the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me before commencing employment. We welcome you as part of the Team and look forward to a mutually satisfactory relationship.
