3.2
Severance:


 


3.2.1

(2) as may be required by subpoena or a Court; (3) as may be necessary in the preparation for any state or federal tax returns;

that include Confidential Information belonging to the Employer in addition to all other property of the Employer in the Employee’s
possession. Under no circumstance shall Employee use the Confidential Information for the Employee’s personal benefit or
gain or for the benefit or gain of any other person other than the Employer.


 


4.2
Duty to Disclose Agreement. Employee (a) shall disclose and make available this Agreement
to any employer, or potential employer, or other business in which Employee may hereafter render services, and (b) shall, upon

Definitions.

any information or compilation of information, not generally known, which is provided to the Employer by its customers or potential
customers under an agreement of confidentiality, is proprietary to the customer or potential customer and relates to the customer’s
or potential customer’s existing or reasonably foreseeable business. Information provided to the Employer by a customer
or potential customer shall be treated as Customer Confidential Information.


 


4.3.2
Supplier/Vendor Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement “Supplier/Vendor Confidential Information”

4.3.3
Employer’s Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement “Employer’s Confidential Information”

to the Employer, and is not generally known, and relates to the Employer’s existing or foreseeable business including, but
not limited to: (i) trade secrets, (ii) computer programs (including all algorithms, codes and documentation relating thereto),
(iii) any and all information relating to the Employer’s marketing techniques, mailing lists, customer and prospective customer

technique or process that derives independent economic value, actual or potential from not being generally known to, and not being

as being “confidential” or “trade secret” and which is not generally known pursuant to the Colorado Trade

comparable to those of this Agreement.


 


4.4
Enforcement; Prevailing Party Attorneys’ Fees. It is recognized that damage in the event of breach of the Employee’s
covenants under this Agreement will be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. It is therefore agreed that the Employer, in
addition to or without limiting any other remedy or right that it might have pursuant to statute, shall have the right to:


 


4.4.1
An injunction against Employee issued by a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining such breach. Employee hereby consents to
the issuance of any preliminary or permanent injunction without limitation and without bond;


 


4.4.3
Any other remedy provided by law which is not inconsistent with the remedies set forth above; and


 





4.4.4 All provisions in

in protecting its interests under and enforcing or attempting to enforce this Agreement, shall be entitled to reimbursement of
its costs in such enforcement or legal action including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in litigation,

(and does hereby assign) to Employer all of Employee’s rights to such Inventions and to applications for letters, patent
and/or copyright in all countries and to all letters patent and/or copyrights granted upon such Inventions in all countries. Employee

property rights against forfeiture, abandonment or loss and to obtain and maintain letters patent and/or copyrights and to vest
the entire right and title thereto in the Employer. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Inventions made, authored
or conceived by Employee after termination of this Agreement or if such Inventions do not relate directly to the Employer’s
business or to the Employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development and do not result from any work
performed by Employee for the Employer and no Employer Confidential Information is used in the making, authorship or conception
of the Invention or discovery. For purposes of this Agreement, “Inventions” means discoveries, concepts, ideas and
works of authorship, whether or not patentable or subject to copyright including but not limited to processes, methods, formulas,
and techniques, as well as improvement or know-how concerning any present or prospective activities of the Employer with which
the Employee becomes acquainted as a result of his employment by the Employer or which are conceived by Employee during the Employment
Term.


 


4.6
Proprietary Rights. Ownership of, and all rights in, any work product that Employee is providing
to the Employer under this Agreement, which includes, but is not limited to designs, inventions, developments and improvements
relating to the business of 7GENx LLC (the “Work”), including trademarks, patents and copyrights applicable to the
same, shall belong exclusively to the Employer, which the Employee hereby assigns to the Employer. The parties to this agreement
agree to consider as a “work made for hire” any work requested by the Employer that qualifies as such under the United
States copyright laws. To the extent that the Work cannot be a “work made for hire” or when necessary for any other
reason, Employee will provide the Employer with all such assignments of rights, covenants and other assistance, and do all necessary
acts that may be required for the Employer through trademark, patent or copyright applications or otherwise, to enforce and obtain
the full benefit of the rights provided herein. If the Work contains materials previously developed or copyrighted by the Employee
or others, the Employee grants to the Employer, or agrees to obtain for the Employer an unrestricted, royalty- free license to
use and copy such materials. Any license so granted or obtained shall include the right for the Employer to grant an unrestricted,
royalty-free license to any affiliate of the Employer. The Employee shall place a copyright notice on the Work at the Employer’s
request.

4.7
Severability of Covenants. The covenants contained in this Agreement constitute a series of separate but ancillary covenants.
If in any judicial proceeding a court shall hold that any of the covenants set forth herein exceed the time, geographic, or occupational
limitations permitted by applicable laws, Employee and the Employer agree that such provisions shall and hereby are reformed to
the reflect the maximum time, geographic, or occupational limitations permitted by such laws. Further, in the event a court shall
hold unenforceable any of the separate covenants deemed included herein, then such unenforceable covenant or covenants shall be
deemed eliminated from the provisions of this Agreement for the purpose of such proceeding to the extent necessary to permit the
remaining separate covenants to be enforced in such proceeding. Employee and Employer further agree that the covenants herein
shall each be construed as a separate agreement independent of any other provisions of this Agreement, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action by Employee against the Employer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute
a defense to the enforcement by Employer of any of the covenants herein.
