COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT PAGE 1
2.5. The Lawsuit and the Labor Complaint arise from that certain Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "PTI Merger Agreement") dated on or about October 6, 2000,
between Portsmith, an entity known as Portable Technologies, Inc. ("PTI"), and

employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") and a noncompetition agreement
(the "Noncompetition Agreement").

was effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Mobility Merger Agreement") dated as of February 20, 2002.
2.8. Liggitt and the Defendants have denied all liability to each other in
response to the respective claims made in the Lawsuit.
2.9. While continuing to deny liability and acting solely for the purposes of
compromising and settling their disputes and the Lawsuit, and in order to avoid
the risk, cost, and burden of further litigation and participation therein, the
Parties desire to settle all matters in controversy between them.
2.10. The Parties intend for this Agreement, and all of their obligations
hereunder, to be contingent and expressly conditioned upon an order from the
court presiding over the Lawsuit (the "Court") that this settlement is
reasonable and in good faith under and pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure section 877.6.
2.11. The "Effective Date" of this Agreement shall be the date upon which the
Court enters its determination that this settlement is reasonable and in good
faith under and pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 877.6.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the obligations in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

of section 1542 and of any comparable statutory or common law provision of any
other jurisdiction.
