apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: 

  
 Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention
to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
  
 Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 
  

	 	(b)	To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision

and restrain the breach of the provisions of paragraphs 7 through 13. Said availability to obtain injunctive relief will not prevent the Company or Employee from pursuing any other equitable or legal relief, including the recovery of damages from
such breach or threatened breach.

Embarcadero Technologies, Inc is at will. This means that employment may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time by either the Employee or by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. Nothing in this or any other document or

 APPENDIX B 
  

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY 
  

	I.	AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE 

  
 In the event that any employment dispute arises between Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) and Robert Lamvik (“Employee”), the
parties involved will make all efforts to resolve any such dispute through informal means. If these informal attempts at resolution fail and if the dispute arises out of or is related to the parties’ Employment And Confidentiality
Agreement, the termination of Employee’s employment or alleged unlawful discrimination, including but not limited to unlawful harassment, the Company and Employee will submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration, except as set forth in
paragraph 14 of the Employment Agreement. 
  
 The parties
expressly understand and agree that arbitration is the exclusive remedy for all such disputes; with respect to such disputes, no other action may be brought in court or any other forum (except actions to compel arbitration hereunder). THIS
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (“ADR”) AGREEMENT IS A WAIVER OF THE PARTIES’ RIGHTS TO A CIVIL COURT ACTION FOR A DISPUTE RELATING TO BREACH OF THE PARTIES’ EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, TERMINATION OF THAT EMPLOYMENT OR ALLEGED UNLAWFUL
DISCRIMINATION, WHICH INCLUDES RETALIATION OR SEXUAL OR OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT; ONLY AN ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, WILL DECIDE THE DISPUTE. 
  
 Employment disputes arising out of or related to termination of employment or alleged unlawful discrimination, including retaliation or sexual or other
unlawful harassment, shall include, but not be limited to, the following: alleged violations of federal, state and/or local constitutions, statutes or regulations; claims based on any purported breach of contractual obligation, including breach of
the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and claims based on any purported breach of duty arising in tort, including violations of public policy. Disputes related to workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance is not arbitrable
hereunder. Claims for benefits covered by a separate benefit plan that provides for arbitration are not covered by this ADR Agreement. Also, nothing in Employment Agreement or in the ADR Policy shall be construed as precluding Employee from filing a
charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) or other federal, state or local agencies, seeking administrative assistance in resolving claims. However, any claim
that cannot be resolved administratively through such an agency shall be subject to the Employment Agreement and the ADR Policy.

	 	A.	Attempt At Informal Resolution Of Disputes 

  
 Prior to submission of any dispute to arbitration, Employee and the Company shall attempt to resolve the dispute informally as set forth below.

  
 Employee and the Company will select a mediator from a list
provided by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service or other similar agency who will assist the parties in attempting to reach a settlement of the dispute. The mediator may make settlement suggestions to the parties but shall not have the
power to impose a settlement upon them. If the dispute is resolved in mediation, the matter shall be deemed closed. If the dispute is not resolved in mediation and goes to the next step (binding arbitration), any proposals or compromises suggested
by either of the parties or the mediator shall not be referred to in or have any bearing on the arbitration procedure. The mediator cannot also serve as the arbitrator in the subsequent proceeding unless all parties expressly agree in writing.

will not be able to bring his claims to this or any other forum. The requesting party may use a “Request for Arbitration” form supplied by the Company (Appendix C). Alternatively, the requesting party may create a “Request for
Arbitration” form that, unless otherwise required by law, clearly states “Request for Arbitration” at the beginning of the first page and includes the following information:
