REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of this 25th day of May 2001, by and between Steven Jobs ("Jobs"), and Apple Computer, Inc., a California corporation ("Apple").

        In consideration of the mutual promises, agreements, covenants, warranties, representations and provisions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

        1.    Reimbursement of Aircraft Expense. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, if during the Term (as defined hereafter) Jobs uses his aircraft in connection with his travel on Apple business, Apple agrees to reimburse to Jobs the expense of such use. Jobs' aircraft is identified as a Gulfstream V aircraft, serial number 586, Federal Aviation Administration registration number N2N (the "Aircraft").

        2.    Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the effective date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and end on December 31, 2002 (the "Initial Term Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless this Agreement has earlier been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Term shall continue after the Initial Term Expiration Date on an annual basis. Either party may terminate this Agreement any time during the Term upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the other. This Agreement shall terminate on the termination of Jobs' employment by Apple.

        3.    Base of the Aircraft. Apple acknowledges that Jobs currently bases the Aircraft at Stockton Metropolitan Airport, Stockton, California (the "Base"), and that Job's use of the Aircraft for Apple business travel shall include ferry flights to and from the Base at the beginning and end of such business travel.

        4.    Reimbursement.

        5.    Pilots. For all flights of the Aircraft by Apple pursuant to this Agreement, Jobs shall cause the Aircraft to be operated by pilots who are duly qualified under the Federal Aviation Regulations, including without limitation, with respect to currency and type-rating, whose licenses and certificates


are in good standing, and who meet all other requirements established and specified by the FAA and the insurance policies required hereunder.

        6.    Operation and Maintenance Responsibilities of Jobs. This agreement is not intended to constitute a lease of the Aircraft. Jobs shall be in operational control of the Aircraft at all times during the Term. Jobs shall be solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Aircraft and shall operate and maintain such Aircraft in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

        7.    Insurance. Jobs shall maintain in effect at his own expense throughout the Term, insurance policies containing such provisions and providing such coverages as Jobs deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jobs shall maintain property damage and personal injury aviation liability insurance with coverage in the amount of no less than $100,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence (the "Required Insurance"). Jobs shall cause the policies providing the Required Insurance to (a) name Apple as an additional insured, (b) not be subject to any offset by any other insurance carried by Jobs or Apple, (c) contain a waiver by the insurer of any subrogation rights against Apple, (d) insure the interest of Apple, regardless of any breach or violation by the Jobs or of any other person (other than is solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Apple) of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in such policies, (e) include a severability of interests endorsement providing that such policy shall operate in the same manner (except for the limits of coverage) as if there were a separate policy covering each insured and (f) not be subject to cancellation or material modification without at least 30 days' written notice to Apple. Apple acknowledges that Jobs does not maintain and is not required to maintain insurance against perils covered by "war risk" insurance, including acts of war, hijacking, nuclear detonation, strikes, sabotage, confiscation, and terrorism.
