Article
VII.

INVENTIONS


 


7.1       Assignment
of Inventions. Executive shall promptly make full, written disclosure to the Company, and will hold in trust for the sole right and
benefit of the Company, and hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns, and agrees to transfer and assign, to the Company, or its designee,
all his right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions. Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship
which are made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of his employment with the Company
and which may be protected by copyright are “Works Made For Hire” as that term is defined by the United States Copyright
Act. Executive understands and agrees that the decision whether to commercialize or market any Invention developed by Executive (solely
or jointly with others) is within the Company’s sole discretion and the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be
due to Executive as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.


 


Executive
recognizes that Inventions relating to his activities while working for the Company and conceived or made by Executive, whether alone
or with others, within one (1) year after cessation of Executive’s employment, may have been conceived in significant part while
employed by the Company. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that such Inventions shall be presumed to have been conceived
during Executive’s employment with the Company and are to be, and hereby are, assigned to the Company unless and until Executive
has established the contrary.


 


The
requirements of this Section 7.1 do not apply to any intellectual property for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret
information of the Company was used, and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, and (a) which does not relate
(i) directly to the Company’s business or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development
or (b) which does not result from any work the Executive performed for the Company.


 




    	7



    	 



    

 


7.2       Maintenance
of Records. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by Executive (solely
or jointly with others) during his employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any
other format that may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all
times.


 


7.3       Trademark
and Copyright Registrations. Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper
way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, mask works, or any
other intellectual property rights in any and all countries relating thereto, including, but not limited to, the disclosure to the Company
of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and
all other instruments the Company reasonably deems necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and
convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title, and interest in and to such inventions,
and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, mask works, or any other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Executive
further agrees that his obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument or paper
shall continue after termination or expiration of this Agreement or the cessation of his employment with the Company. If the Company
is unable, because of Executive’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason, after reasonably diligent efforts, to
secure Executive’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents, trademarks or
copyright registrations covering inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then Executive hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act
for and on his behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of letters, patents, trademarks or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if
executed by Executive; this power of attorney shall be a durable power of attorney which shall come into existence upon Executive’s
mental or physical incapacity.


 


7.4       Prior
Inventions. Executive has identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement all Inventions relating in any way to the Company’s business
or demonstrably anticipated research and development that were made by Executive prior to employment with the Company, and Executive
represents that such list is complete. Executive represents that Executive has no rights in any such Inventions other than those specified
in Exhibit A. If there is no such list on Exhibit A, Executive represents that Executive has made no such Inventions at the time of signing
this Agreement. Executive shall not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any prior Invention owned by Executive or in which he
has an interest in a Company product, process or machine without the Company’s prior written consent.

GENERAL PROVISIONS


 


8.1       No
Adequate Remedy. The parties declare that it is impossible to accurately measure in money the damages which will accrue to either
party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if either party shall institute any action
or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, other than a claim by Executive for a payment pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement,
the party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy
at law, and such party shall not assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy
at law.

one, or (ii) is underwritten by a commercial insurer which decides claims; (f) concerning discrimination disputes (including, but not
limited to race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, marital status, or disability), including complaints regarding

Notwithstanding
the above, claims that are not arbitrable are those for injunctive and/or other equitable relief, including but not limited to those

and obtain relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. Claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment compensation benefits
are also excluded from this requirement for arbitration.


 


The
aggrieved party must give written notice to the other party of any claim. The written notice shall identify and describe the nature of
