On June 8, 2006, Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (the “Company”) announced the resignation of James R. Oyler as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, and member of the Board of Directors, effective June 7, 2006.

In connection with the resignation of Mr. Oyler, the Company and Mr. Oyler entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), which provides, in part, that Mr. Oyler will receive his base salary through July 7, 2006; lump sum severance in an amount equal to two times Mr. Oyler’s “Gross Income” (as defined and determined in accordance with Mr. Oyler’s employment agreement) on January 10, 2007; payment of the Company’s obligations to Mr. Oyler under its compensation plans; payment of Mr. Oyler’s medical, dental and vision premiums under COBRA until July 7, 2008; acceleration of the vesting of any stock options issued and not vested as of June 7, 2006; and miscellaneous other terms. The Separation Agreement also includes a mutual general release by and between the Company and Mr. Oyler. Under the Separation and Release Agreement, Mr. Oyler has also agreed to provide consulting services to the Company, upon its reasonable request, until June 7, 2007.

Unless specifically amended or modified by the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Oyler’s Employment Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2000 and amended as of September 22, 2000, shall continue to be binding upon the Company and Mr. Oyler.

In addition to the Separation Agreement, the Company and Mr. Oyler entered into an Agreement and Release of ADEA Claims pursuant to which Mr. Oyler agreed to release and waive any claim he may have under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
