 Exhibit B

  
 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT
AGREEMENT 
 FOR CONSULTANT 
  
 This CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made between Irvine Sensors Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) and the CTC Aero, LLC, a limited liability company (“CTC”) and Chris Toffales, the manager of CTC (“Toffales”). CTC and Toffales are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Consultant.”

  
 In consideration of my relationship with the Company (which
for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any subsidiaries or Affiliates* of the Company), the receipt of confidential information while associated with the Company, and other good and valuable consideration, I, the undersigned
individual, agree that: 
  
 1. Term of Agreement. This
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of my relationship with the Company and shall continue thereafter until terminated through a written instrument signed by both parties. 
  
 2. Confidentiality. 
  
 (a) Definitions. “Proprietary Information”
is all information and any idea whatever form, tangible or intangible, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company, or any of its Affiliates, or its employees, clients, consultants, or business associates, which was produced by any
employee or consultant of the Company in the course of his or her employment or consulting relationship or otherwise produced or acquired by or on behalf of the Company. All Proprietary Information not generally known outside of the Company’s
organization, and all Proprietary Information so known only through improper means, shall be deemed “Confidential Information.” By example and without limiting the foregoing definition, Proprietary and Confidential Information shall
include, but not be limited to: 
  
 (1) formulas, research and
development techniques, processes, trade secrets, computer programs, software, electronic codes, mask works, inventions, innovations, patents, patent applications, discoveries, improvements, data, know-how, formats, test results, and research
projects; 
  
 (2) information about costs, profits, markets,
sales, contracts and lists of customers, and distributors; 
  
 (3) business, marketing, and strategic plans; 
  
 (4)
forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets, projections, and customer identities, characteristics and agreements; and 
  
 (5) employee personnel files and compensation information. 
  
 Confidential Information is to be broadly defined, and includes all information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business
in which the Company is engaged or contemplates engaging, and all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be 


	*	For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that shall directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
the Company. 










 detrimental to the interests of the Company, whether or not such information is identified as Confidential Information by
the Company. 
  
 (b) Existence of Confidential
Information. The Company owns and has developed and compiled, and will develop and compile, certain trade secrets, proprietary techniques and other Confidential Information which have great value to its business. This Confidential Information
includes not only information disclosed by the Company to me, but also information developed or learned by me during the course of my relationship with the Company. 
  
 (c) Protection of Confidential Information. I will not, directly or indirectly, use, make
available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any third party, other than in my assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, any of the Company’s Confidential Information, either during or after my relationship with the Company.
In the event I desire to publish the results of my work for the Company through literature or speeches, I will submit such literature or speeches to the President of the Company at least 10 days before dissemination of such information for a
determination of whether such disclosure may alter trade secret status, may be prejudicial to the interests of the Company, or may constitute an invasion of its privacy. I agree not to publish, disclose or otherwise disseminate such information
without prior written approval of the President of the Company. I acknowledge that I am aware that the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of the Company may be highly prejudicial to its interests, an invasion of privacy, and an
improper disclosure of trade secrets. 
  
 (d) Delivery of Confidential Information. Upon request or when my relationship with the Company terminates, I will immediately deliver to the Company all copies of any and all materials and writings received from, created for, or
belonging to the Company including, but not limited to, those which relate to or contain Confidential Information. 
  
 (e) Location and Reproduction. I shall maintain at my workplace only such Confidential Information as I have a current “need
to know.” I shall return to the appropriate person or location or otherwise properly dispose of Confidential Information once that need to know no longer exists. I shall not make copies of or otherwise reproduce Confidential Information unless
there is a legitimate business need of the Company for reproduction. 
  
 (f) Prior Actions and Knowledge. I represent and warrant that from the time of my first contact with the Company I held in strict confidence all Confidential Information and have not disclosed any Confidential
Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside the Company, or used, copied, published, or summarized any Confidential information, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Third-Party Information. I acknowledge that the
Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I
agree that I will at all times hold all such confidential information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform my obligations hereunder and as is consistent with the Company’s agreement with such
third parties. 
  
 (h) Third Parties. I
represent that my relationship with the Company does not and will not breach any agreements with or duties to a former employer or any other third party. I will not disclose to the Company or use on its behalf any confidential information belonging
to others and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any confidential information belonging to any such party unless consented to in writing by such party. 









 3. Proprietary Rights, Inventions and New Ideas. 
  
 (a) Definition. The term “Subject Ideas or
Inventions” includes any and all ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, inventions, designs, technologies, computer hardware or software, original works of authorship, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, copyrightable works
products, marketing and business ideas, and all improvements, know-how, data, rights, and claims related to the foregoing that, whether or not patentable, which are conceived, developed or created which: (1) relate to the Company’s current or
contemplated business; (2) relate to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; (3) result from any work performed by me for the Company; (4) involve the use of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities
or trade secrets; (5) result from or are suggested by any work done by the Company or at the Company’s request, or any projects specifically assigned to me; or (6) result from my access to any of the Company’s memoranda, notes, records,
drawings, sketches, models, maps, customer lists, research results, data, formulae, specifications, inventions, processes, equipment or other materials (collectively, “Company Materials”). 
  
 (b) Company Ownership. All right, title and interest
in and to all Subject Ideas and Inventions, including but not limited to all registrable and patent rights which may subsist therein, shall be held and owned solely by the Company, and where applicable, all Subject Ideas and Inventions shall be
considered works made for hire. I shall mark all Subject Ideas and Inventions with the Company’s copyright or other proprietary notice as directed by the Company and shall take all actions deemed necessary by the Company to protect the
Company’s rights therein. In the event that the Subject Ideas and Inventions shall be deemed not to constitute works made for hire, or in the event that I should otherwise, by operation of law, be deemed to retain any rights (whether moral
rights or otherwise) to any Subject Ideas and Inventions, I agree to assign to the Company, without further consideration, my entire right, title and interest in and to each and every such Subject Idea and Invention. 
  
 (c) Disclosure. I agree to disclose promptly to the
Company full details of any and all Subject Ideas and Inventions. 
  
 (d) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Subject Ideas and Inventions and their development made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term
of my relationship with the Company. These records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified by the Company. These records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all
times. 
  
 (e) Determination of Subject Ideas
and Inventions. I further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer hardware or software, original work of authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent,
copyright, product, and all improvements, know-how, rights, and claims related to the foregoing (“Intellectual Property”), that I do not believe to be a Subject Idea or Invention, but that is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by
the Company (alone by me or with others) during my relationship with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter, shall be disclosed promptly by me to the Company. The Company shall examine such information to determine if in fact the Intellectual
Property is a Subject Idea or Invention subject to this Agreement. 
  
 (f) Access. Because of the difficulty of establishing when any Subject Ideas or Inventions are first conceived by me, or whether it results from my access to Confidential Information or Company Materials, I
agree that any Subject Idea and Invention shall, among other circumstances, be deemed to have resulted from my access to Company Materials if: (1) it grew out of or resulted from my work with the Company or is related to the business of the Company,
and (2) it is made, used, sold, exploited or reduced to practice, or an application for patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary protection is filed thereon, by me or with my significant aid, within one year after termination of my
relationship with the Company. 









 (g) Assistance. I further agree to assist the Company in every proper way (but at
the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights or registrations on said Subject Ideas and Inventions in any and all countries, and to that end will execute all documents necessary: 

 
 (1) to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of the Company alone
(unless the Company otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and 
  
 (2) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and
any opposition proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection; and 
  
 (3) to cooperate with the Company (but at the Company’s expense) in any enforcement or infringement proceeding on such letters patent, copyright or
other analogous protection. 
  
 (h)
Authorization to Company. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to a Subject Idea and Invention, whether because of my physical or
mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on my behalf and stead to execute and file any
such application, applications or other documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of letters patent, copyright or other analogous rights or protections thereon with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me. My obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents and copyrights for Subject Ideas and Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my relationship with the
Company, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance. 
  
 (i) Acknowledgement. I acknowledge that there are no currently existing ideas, processes, inventions,
discoveries, marketing or business ideas or improvements which I desire to exclude from the operation of this Agreement. To the best of my knowledge, there is no other contract to assign inventions, trademarks, copyrights, ideas, processes,
discoveries or other intellectual property that is now in existence between me and any other person (including any business or governmental entity). 
  
 (j) No Use of Name. I shall not at any time use the Company’s name or any the Company trademark(s) or trade name(s) in any
advertising or publicity without the prior written consent of the Company. 
  
 4. Competitive Activity. 
  
 (a) Acknowledgment. I acknowledge that the pursuit of the activities forbidden by Section 4(b) below would necessarily involve the use, disclosure or misappropriation of Confidential Information. 
  
 (b) Prohibited Activity. To prevent the
above-described disclosure, misappropriation and breach, I agree that during my relationship and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, without the Company’s express written consent, I shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) employ, solicit
for employment, or recommend for employment any person employed by the Company (or any Affiliate); and (ii) engage in any present or contemplated business activity that is or may be competitive with the Company (or any Affiliate) in any state where
the Company conducts its 










 
business, unless I can prove that any action taken in contravention of this subsection (ii) was done without the use in any way of Confidential Information.

  
 5. Representations and Warranties. I represent and
warrant (i) that I have no obligations, legal or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with my undertaking a relationship with the Company; (ii) that the performance of the services called for by this Agreement do not and will
not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or any proprietary or other right of any third party; (iii) that I will not use in the performance of my responsibilities for the Company any confidential information or trade secrets of any other
person or entity; and (iv) that I have not entered into or will enter into any agreement (whether oral or written) in conflict with this Agreement. 
  
 6. Termination Obligations. 
  
 (a) Upon the termination of my relationship with the Company or promptly upon the Company’s request, I shall surrender to the
Company all equipment, tangible Proprietary Information, documents, books, notebooks, records, reports, notes, memoranda, drawings, sketches, models, maps, contracts, lists, computer disks (and other computer-generated files and data), any other
data and records of any kind, and copies thereof (collectively, “Company Records”), created on any medium and furnished to, obtained by, or prepared by myself in the course of or incident to my relationship with the Company, that are in my

Agreement in the form reasonably requested by the Company. 
  
 7.
Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge that my failure to carry out any obligation under this Agreement, or a breach by me of any provision herein, will constitute immediate and irreparable damage to the Company, which cannot be fully and
adequately compensated in money damages and which will warrant preliminary and other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and other equitable relief. I further agree that no bond or other security shall be required in obtaining such
equitable relief and I hereby consent to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of specific performance. I also understand that other action may be taken and remedies enforced against me. 
  
 8. Modification. No modification of this Agreement shall be valid
unless made in writing and signed by both parties. 









 9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns and
administrators and is for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

Integration. This Agreement sets forth the parties’ mutual rights and obligations with respect to proprietary information, prohibited competition, and intellectual property. It is intended to be the final, complete, and exclusive
statement of the terms of the parties’ agreements regarding these subjects. This Agreement supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and statements on these subjects, and it may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or
contemporaneous statements or agreements. To the extent that the practices, policies, or procedures of the Company, now or in the future, apply to myself and are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control unless changed in writing by the Company. 
  
 12. Not
Employment. This Agreement is not an employment agreement as I am an independent consultant. I understand that the Company may terminate my association with it at any time, with or without cause, subject to the terms of any separate written
consulting agreement executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
  
 13. Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not in favor of or against any party. By way of example and not limitation, this Agreement shall not be

 14. Attorneys’ Fees. Should either I or the Company, or any heir,
personal representative, successor or permitted assign of either party, resort to legal proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party (as defined in California statutory law) in such legal proceeding shall be awarded, in addition to
such other relief as may be granted, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such proceeding. 
  
 15. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place or circumstance,
shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such term, provision, covenant or condition as applied to other persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 16. Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided by this
Agreement are cumulative, and the exercise of any right or remedy by either the Company or me (or by that party’s successor), whether pursuant hereto, to any other agreement, or to law, shall not preclude or waive that party’s right to
exercise any or all other rights and remedies. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. 
  
 17. Nonwaiver. The failure of either the Company or me, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, power or privilege, nor of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance. Any waiver by the Company or by me must be in writing and signed by either
myself, if I am seeking to waive any of my rights under this Agreement, or by an officer of the Company (other than me) or some other person duly authorized by the Company. 
  
 18. Notices. Any notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under this Agreement or
pursuant to law shall be sufficient if it is in writing, and if and when it is
