with all surviving provisions of any confidentiality or proprietary rights
agreement signed by Employee; and (b) Employee executes a full general release,
in a form acceptable to JNI, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that

amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement, when considered together with
any other amounts payable to Employee as a result of a Change in Control, cause
such payments to be treated as excess parachute payments within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, JNI shall reduce the amount payable
to Employee under this section 1.1 (to the least extent possible) to an amount
that will not subject Employee to the imposition of tax under Section 4999 of
the Internal Revenue Code.</font></p>

acquisition by an individual person or entity or a group of individuals or
entities acting in concert, directly or indirectly, through one transaction or
a series of related transactions, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities of JNI; (ii) a merger or consolidated of JNI with or into another
entity after the stockholders of JNI immediately prior to such transaction hold
less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity; or (iii) a sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of JNI.</font></p>

termination for &#147;Cause&#148; occurs if Employee is terminated for any of the
following reasons: (i) theft, dishonesty, or falsification of any JNI records;
(ii) improper disclosure of JNI&#146;s confidential or proprietary information;
(iii) Employee&#146;s failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties
after written notice from JNI of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such
failure or inability; or (iv) Employee&#146;s conviction of any criminal act which
impairs his ability to perform his duties as an employee of JNI.&#160; Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (iii),
Employee may not be terminated for Cause as a result of his failure or inability
to perform assigned duties which are substantially inconsistent with&#160; his duties and responsibilities in effect
during the year preceding the Change in Control (or such shorter period of time
as Employee was employed by JNI).</font></p>

terminate Employee&#146;s employment with JNI for &#147;Good Reason&#148; by serving notice of
resignation to JNI with a description of the circumstances giving rise to the
Good Reason.&#160; For purposes of this Agreement,
&#147;Good Reason&#148; means: (i) Employee&#146;s compensation, including salary, bonus and
equity compensation, are reduced from the compensation level in effect for
Employee during the year preceding the Change in Control (or such shorter
period of time as Employee was employed by JNI); (ii) a material diminution of
Employee&#146;s title or duties with JNI; or (iii) JNI relocates Employee&#146;s
principal place of work to a location more than sixty (60) miles from 10945
Vista Sorrento Parkway, San Diego, CA 92130, without Employee&#146;s prior written
