      release of claims with Mr. Viegas. Under this agreement, Mr. Viegas will

      exchange, the Company will pay Mr. Viegas&#8217; current salary and group
      health coverage premiums through May&#160;30, 2009. The Company will also
      allow Mr. Viegas to continue using his company laptop, email address and

      months from the date he ceases to serve as member of the board of
      directors to exercise any stock options that remain unexercised as of
      such date. Mr. Viegas will also be entitled to receive a prorated bonus
      under his 2008 variable compensation plan to the extent that the Company
      reaches the minimum GAAP adjusted revenue and GAAP adjusted operating
      profit (loss) and corporate initiatives, and Mr. Viegas achieves his

    </p>
    <p>
      SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR),
      a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology (<u>http://www.immersion.com/corporate/</u>),
      announced today the appointment of Clent Richardson to president and
      CEO, effective April 28, 2008. The Company also expects that Richardson
      will be appointed to the Company's Board of Directors at its next board
      meeting.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Clent brings strong industry knowledge, proven global business
      development, sales, and marketing accomplishments, as well as
      team-building and executive management skills,&#8221; said Victor Viegas,
      Immersion chairman of the board and current president and CEO. &#8220;He also
      brings proven experience in establishing business relationships with
      leading OEMs, developers, and service providers to create industry-wide
      support for products and technologies that will help Immersion
      accelerate the capture of its significant upside potential. I look
      forward to working with Clent in the transition to his new leadership
      role and to supporting Immersion&#8217;s growth as chairman of the board.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Most recently, Richardson, 46, was chief marketing officer of TiVo, and
      earlier, of Nortel Networks. Prior to these positions, he was chief
      sales and marketing officer and a member of the board of directors of
      T-Mobile U.K., where, leading a 1,300-person team, he architected the
      company&#8217;s rebranding and go-to-market strategy resulting in increased
      operational efficiency and double-digit revenue growth. In addition, he
      was concurrently chairman of T-Mobile Retail, Ltd. where he provided
      guidance for 130 retail locations and over 400 team members across the
      U.K. Previously, at Apple, he reported to the co-founder and CEO as vice
      president of worldwide developer relations and worldwide solutions
      marketing and built and led a global team that established and
      strengthened developer and customer relationships around the world.
      During his more than five years with Apple, Richardson was also senior
      manager of evangelism, responsible for building and leading a worldwide
      team that managed global strategic relationships with Adobe, AOL, IBM,
      Microsoft, Motorola, Sun, and other industry leaders for all Apple
      divisions. Earlier in his career, Richardson worked at GTE (now part of
      Verizon), where he advanced through a number of sales and management
      positions that included P&amp;L responsibility for all wireless major
      account management and sales in California. He holds a Bachelor of Arts
      in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University.

      &#8220;Immersion&#8217;s global leadership in innovation, development, and
      deployment of haptics technology is nearing a tipping point,&#8221; said
      Immersion president and CEO elect Clent Richardson. &#8220;Now is the time to
      build upon and take advantage of the company&#8217;s strong financial footing,
      growing intellectual property portfolio, and global opportunities in the
      medical, mobility, touch-interface, and gaming markets. With the
      successful adoption of Immersion&#8217;s technology by leading brands in
      markets around the world, our focus will be to execute growth plans and
      accelerate customer adoption of our haptics technology worldwide. I look
      forward to leading Immersion to the next level and beyond and to working
      with Vic and the board of directors to grow value for our shareholders,
      customers, and employees.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The Board and I thank Vic for his many years of service, which have
      prepared Immersion with a sound strategy and the financial means for its
      next phase of growth. We now look forward to his guidance and active
      involvement as chairman of the board,&#8221; said Jack Saltich, lead
      independent director of Immersion&#8217;s Board of Directors. &#8220;We are
      confident that Clent&#8217;s management experience on top-tier global
      executive teams and his solid record of accomplishments in
      telecommunications, consumer electronics, software, hardware, and
      technology markets around the world will provide the knowledge and
      leadership Immersion needs to aggressively pursue its numerous and
      sizeable opportunities.&#8221;
