If your\n                  employment with the Companies is terminated for any reason\n                  other than without \"cause\" pursuant to Section 6(b), the\n                  Companies will not pay you a bonus with respect to the\n                  calendar year in which your employment is terminated or\n                  thereafter.

A termination pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall\n                  take effect immediately upon the giving of notice contemplated\n                  hereby (subject to any applicable cure period).\n\n\n\n            (b)   MVSN may terminate your employment hereunder at any time\n                  without \"cause\" by giving you written notice of such\n                  termination, which termination shall be effective as of the\n                  date set forth in such notice, provided that such date shall\n                  not be earlier than the date of such notice (provided that you\n                  shall be afforded a reasonable period of time after such\n                  termination to remove your personal effects from the\n                  Companies' premises).

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to\nconstitute consent to the manner and address for service of process in\nconnection with any legal proceeding (including litigation arising out of or in\nconnection with this Agreement), which service shall be effected as required by\napplicable law.\n\n      42)   Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience\n            only and shall not control or affect the meaning of any provision of\n            this Agreement.\n\n\n\n      43)   Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is\n            determined to be partially or wholly invalid, illegal or\n            unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to\n            such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary\n            to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or if such\n            provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision\n            shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this\n            Agreement; provided, however, that the binding effect and\n            enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, to the\n            extent the economic benefits conferred upon the parties by virtue of\n            this Agreement remain substantially unimpaired, shall not be\n            affected or impaired in any manner and any such invalidity,\n            illegality or unenforceability with respect to such provisions shall\n            not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other\n            jurisdiction.\n\n      44)   Remedies. You acknowledge and understand that the provisions of this\n            Agreement are of a special and unique nature, the loss of which\n            cannot be adequately compensated for in damages by an action at law,\n            and thus, the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this\n            Agreement would cause the Companies irreparable harm. You further\n            acknowledge that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants\n            contained in Section 8, 9, or 10, the Companies shall be entitled to\n            immediate relief enjoining such violations in any court or before\n            any judicial body having jurisdiction over such a claim. All\n            remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other\n            remedies provided for by law and may, to the extent permitted by\n            law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of\n            any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy\n            or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy.\n\n      45)   Representation.\n\n            (a)   You hereby represent and warrant to MVSN that (i) the\n                  execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by you\n                  does not breach, violate or cause a default under any\n                  agreement, contract or instrument to which you are a party or\n                  any judgment, order or decree to which you are subject, and\n                  (ii) you are not a party to or bound by any employment\n                  agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement,\n                  confidentiality agreement or similar agreement regarding your\n                  employment or retention with or by any other person or entity.\n\n            (b)   MVSN hereby represents and warrants to you that the execution,\n                  delivery and performance of this Agreement by MVSN does not\n                  breach, violate or cause a default under any agreement,\n                  contract or instrument to which MVSN is a party or any\n                  judgment, order or decree to which MVSN is subject.\n\n      46)   Benefits of Agreement, Assignment. The terms and provisions of this\n            Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the\n            parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns,\n            representatives, heirs and estate, as applicable. Anything contained\n            herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not be\n            assignable by any party hereto without the consent of the other\n            parties hereto.\n\n      47)   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of\n            counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an\n            original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall\n            constitute but one agreement.\n\n      48)   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in\n            accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California without\n            giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule\n            (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that\n            would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other\n            than the State of California.\n\n      49)   Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION\n            WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED\n            BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE\n            LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE\n            THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE\n\n\n\n            APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST\n            COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF\n            ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN\n            ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY\n            RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED\n            HERETO.\n\n\n\nIN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.\n\n                                      MACROVISION CORPORATION\n\n\n                                      By \/s\/ William A.
