Such determination to pay the Severance Payment in lieu of Employee’s Salary and Incentive Compensation shall be made in the reasonable judgment of the President and/or CEO.  If Employer elects to make a payment to Employee of the Severance Payment, the Parties hereto agree that such payment and the payment provided by Section 6.6 shall be Employee’s complete and exclusive remedy for such a termination for Cause.

I will promptly disclose to Employer in writing all discoveries, concepts and ideas, whether patentable or unpatentable, including but not limited to processes, designs, innovations, inventions, formulas, methods, and techniques, as well as improvements and know-how related thereto, made, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by me while in Employer’s employ, either solely or jointly with others during my employment (“Employer Inventions”).  This Agreement shall not apply to any Invention developed entirely on my own time without using Employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information, except for those items and inventions that either: (i) relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, to Employer’s business or any of the products or services being developed, manufactured or sold by Employer or which may conveniently be used in relation therewith, or actual, or demonstrably anticipated research or development of Employer, or (ii) result from any work performed by me for Employer.




THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INVENTION WHICH QUALIFIES FULLY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE.

(b)           I will acknowledge and deliver promptly to Employer such written instruments and do such other acts, such as giving testimony in support of my inventorship as may be necessary in the opinion of Employer to obtain and maintain United States and/or foreign letters patent and to vest the entire right and title thereunto in Employer.




(c)           I agree that, except for works listed on the attached Schedule 1, which list the Employer and I may jointly add to from time to time, title to any and all copyrights, copyright registrations and copyrightable subject matter which occurs as a result of my employment by Employer shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer, and that such works comprise works made for hire.

13





2.           As a direct or indirect consequence of my employment with Employer, I have been and will/may be exposed to highly sensitive and confidential information (some of which I may in the past have, or may in the future, develop or contribute to) not generally, if at all, known or available to persons or entities not in some way affiliated with Employer and/or affiliates  (“Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all: (i) information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which Employer and its affiliates are engaged or contemplate engaging in; and (ii) all information the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of Employer and/or its affiliates, whether or not such information is identified as Confidential Information by Employer.  By example, and without limitation, Confidential Information includes:  financial statements and records, illustrations, prototypes, models, whether patentable or unpatentable, trade secrets, know-how, concepts and other data, trademarks, copyrights, design features, or configurations of any kind, procedures, demonstrations, methods, processes, uses, manufacturing information, techniques, formulas, improvements, research and development data, pamphlets, books, reports or other documents, inspection procedures, apparatuses, compounds, compositions, combinations, programs, software and works of authorships, whether discovered, conceived, developed, made or produced, research and development projects; strategic alliances; confidential information of other entities or companies with whom Employer or its affiliates may enter into joint ventures, strategic alliances or other business relationships; the identity of consultants and assistants; future advertising and marketing methods and plans; detailed sales and pricing information and formulas; budgets; product performance; sources of products; production and distribution methods or procedures; business methods, procedures and plans; licensing arrangements; customer product preferences and requirements; and, additional information relating to financial, marketing, technical, developmental and/or other business aspects, of Employer and/or Employer’s affiliates.  I agree and understand that any and all of the foregoing is considered by Employer to be of a highly confidential nature and as a trade secret.  The term “Confidential Information” shall not include any information obtained by me through (i) industry publications which are disseminated to or can be acquired by businesses in the industry, (ii) Dodge Reports and Dun & Bradstreet and any similar information services, (iii) any Chamber of Commerce or other trade association reports, or (iv) reports from governmental agencies.  In furtherance of the foregoing, I agree as follows:




(a)           To refrain from reproducing or making any summary, extract or abridgement of, other than in the regular course of business, or removing, any business record, document, schematic, drawing, instrument, component or any other item dealing with the Confidential Information without prior written consent therefor.




(b)           To refrain from discussing with any other person or persons, whether or not said persons are in the employ of Employer, any aspect of the Confidential Information, except as said discussions directly relate to completion of the particular task at hand and/or in compliance with instructions to do so.




(c)           To accept and maintain the Confidential Information on a confidential basis and to protect and safeguard same against unauthorized publication or disclosure.  I will not be justified in disregarding the obligation of confidentiality by selecting individual pieces of public information and fitting them together by use of integrated disclosure to contend that such Confidential Information is in the public domain.




(d)           Other than in furtherance of my employment with Employer, not to use, directly or indirectly, for my own or for my future employer’s advantage, any Confidential Information learned during my employment with Employer and which is not made publicly known (through no fault of mine).




(e)           Not to disclose, publicize, reveal or make available, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential Information to any firm, person, or entity whatsoever, except for a disclosure which is required, if at all, by statute, order of court or otherwise by law, and then only after first advising Employer of such demand with reasonably sufficient advance notice, if possible, so as to afford Employer an opportunity to seek a protective order.




(f)           Upon termination of my employment, to turn over to a designated individual employed by Employer all property then in my possession, custody or immediate control belonging to Employer.  I will not retain any original, copy, summary or abridgement of any document which contains Confidential Information, including correspondence, memoranda, reports, calendars, contracts, notebooks, drawings, photos or other documents relating in any way to the affairs of Employer or to the affairs of its affiliated companies and which are entrusted to me or developed by me at any time during my employment with Employer, all of which, will be delivered to Employer immediately upon termination of my employment.




(g)           Not to interfere with the relationship between and/or among Employer and its consultants, agents, employees or others working on research and development projects or providing services or products to or for Employer, nor disclose the identity of said individuals and/or entities so long as not otherwise generally known in the trade.





14




3.           Notwithstanding the definition of “Confidential Information,” I understand that I shall not be liable for disclosure to any third party or use of any Confidential Information which: (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission by me; (ii) has been independently generated, discovered or perfected by me and is listed on the attached Schedule 2; (iii) is subsequently and lawfully disclosed to me by a third party, which third party did not acquire the information under an obligation of confidentiality from or through Employer; or (iv) is required to be disclosed as a matter of law.




4.           I acknowledge and agree that the Confidential Information, and the strict confidentiality thereof, materially affects the successful conduct of Employer’s business and its goodwill; therefore, any breach of the terms of this Agreement by me is a material breach thereof, and may result in termination of my employment, the imposition of injunctive relief, and liability for damages sustained by Employer.  In furtherance of the foregoing, I agree to pay all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees as incurred by Employer in the enforcement of this Agreement.




5.           No modification or waiver of this Agreement or any of its provisions shall be binding upon Employer unless made in writing and signed on behalf of Employer by one of its officers (other than me).  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the extent possible in order to give its intended effect and/or meaning.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona.




6.           This Agreement together with my Employment Agreement with Employer supersedes any and all agreements between me and Employer with respect to the subject matter hereof.




7.           In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Employer and I agree as follows:




(a)           I acknowledge and agree that any breach by me of this Agreement, including but not limited to, disclosure of any information that, at law or in good conscience or equity, should remain confidential, may give rise to irreparable injury to Employer which will not be adequately compensable by damages.  Accordingly, Employer may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to all other legal remedies, if any, that may be available.
