Executive’s obligations under this Section 7.1 shall apply to the United States of America and any other geographic area in which the Company (i) has engaged in business during the term of this Agreement through production, promotional, sales or marketing activity, or otherwise, or (ii) has otherwise established its goodwill, business reputation or any customer or supplier relations.

 

7.2 

Post-Termination Employment. Executive acknowledges that (i) in the event this Agreement terminates for any reason, Executive will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the above restrictions; and (ii) that Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition to employment with the Company.

 

7.3

Scope of Restraint Post-Termination Competition. The parties have attempted to limit Executive’s right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect the Company from unfair competition. The parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in making such a determination. Consequently, the parties hereby agree that if the scope or enforceability of the restrictive covenant is in anyway disputed at any time, a court or trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time.

 

8.

Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges that during his employment or consultancy with the Company he will develop, discover, have access to and/or become acquainted with technical, financial, marketing, personnel and other information relating to the present or contemplated projects or the conduct of business of the Company which is of a confidential and proprietary nature ("Confidential Information").  Executive agrees that all files, records, documents and the like relating to such Confidential Information, whether prepared by him or otherwise coming into his possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, and Executive hereby agrees to promptly disclose such Confidential Information to the Company upon request and hereby assigns to the Company any rights which he may acquire in any Confidential Information.  Executive further agrees not to disclose or use any Confidential Information and to use his best efforts to prevent the disclosure or use of any Confidential Information either during the term of his employment or consultancy or at any time thereafter, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing his duties under this Agreement.  Upon termination of Executive's employment or consultancy with the Company for any reason, (a) Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all materials, documents, data, equipment and other physical property of any nature containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information, and (b) Executive shall not take from the Company's premises any such material or equipment or any reproduction thereof.

Disclosure of Inventions.  Executive hereby agrees that if he conceives, learns, makes or first reduces to practice, either alone or jointly with others, any "Employment Inventions" (as defined in Section 9.3 below) while he is employed by the Company, either as an employee or as a consultant, he will promptly disclose such Employment Inventions to the Board or to any other Company officer designated by the Board.

 

9.2

Ownership, Assignment, Assistance and Power of Attorney.  All Employment Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the Company shall have the right to use and to apply for patents, copyrights or other statutory or common law protection for such Employment Inventions in any country.  Executive hereby assigns to the Company any rights which he may acquire in such Employment Inventions.  Furthermore, Executive agrees to assist the Company in every proper way at the Company's expense to obtain patents, copyrights and other statutory or common law protections for such Employment Inventions in any country and to enforce such rights from time to time.  Specifically, Executive agrees to execute all documents as the Company may desire for use in applying for and in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights and other statutory or common law protections together with any assignments thereof to the Company or to any person designated by the Company.  Executive's obligations under this Section 9 shall continue beyond the termination of his employment under this Agreement, but the Company shall compensate Executive at a reasonable rate after any such termination for the time which Executive actually spends at the Company's request in rendering such assistance.  In the event the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Executive's signature (after reasonable attempts to do so) to any lawful document required to apply for or to enforce any patent, copyright or other statutory or common law protections for such Employment Inventions, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agents and attorneys-in-fact to act in his stead to execute such documents and to do such other lawful and necessary acts to further the issuance and prosecution of such patents, copyrights or other statutory or common law protection, such documents or such acts to have the same legal force and effect as if such documents were executed by or such acts were done by Executive.

 

9.3

Employment Inventions.  The definition of “Employment Invention” as used in this Section 9 is the definition found in Section 2 of the Utah Employment Inventions Act (Utah Code Ann. § 34-39-2) as follows:  "Employment Invention" means any invention or part thereof conceived, developed, reduced to practice, or created by an employee which is:  (a) conceived, developed, reduced to practice, or created by the employee: (i) within the scope of his employment; (ii) on his employer's time; or (iii) with the aid, assistance, or use of any of his employer's property, equipment, facilities, supplies, resources, or intellectual property; (b)  the result of any work, services, or duties performed by an employee for his employer; (c) related to the industry or trade of the employer; or (d) related to the current or demonstrably anticipated business, research, or development of the employer.

If no inventions are listed on Exhibit A, Executive represents that he has made no such inventions at the time of signing this Agreement.

 

9.5

Inventions of Third Parties.

11.

No Conflicts.  Executive hereby represents that, to the best of his knowledge, his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and his work as an employee or consultant of the Company does not breach any oral or written agreement which he has made prior to his employment with the Company.

 

12.

Equitable Remedies.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the breach or threatened breach by him of certain provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7, 8, 9, or 10 above, would cause irreparable harm to the Company for which damages at law would be an inadequate remedy.

13.

Assignment.  This Agreement is for the unique personal services of Executive and is not assignable or delegable in whole or in part by either party without the consent of the other party.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain enforceable in full force and effect, and the court making such determination shall modify, among other things, the scope, duration, or geographic area of such affected provision to preserve the enforceability thereof to the maximum extent then permitted by law.

Executive hereby agrees that if he conceives, learns, makes or first reduces to practice, either alone or jointly with others, any "Employment Inventions" (as defined in Section 9.3 below) while he is employed by the Company, either as an employee or as a consultant, he will promptly disclose such Employment Inventions to the Board or to any other Company officer designated by the Board.

 

9.2

Ownership, Assignment, Assistance and Power of Attorney.  All Employment Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the Company shall have the right to use and to apply for patents, copyrights or other statutory or common law protection for such Employment Inventions in any country.  Executive hereby assigns to the Company any rights which he may acquire in such Employment Inventions.  Furthermore, Executive agrees to assist the Company in every proper way at the Company's expense to obtain patents, copyrights and other statutory or common law protections for such Employment Inventions in any country and to enforce such rights from time to time.  Specifically, Executive agrees to execute all documents as the Company may desire for use in applying for and in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights and other statutory or common law protections together with any assignments thereof to the Company or to any person designated by the Company.  Executive's obligations under this Section 9 shall continue beyond the termination of his employment under this Agreement, but the Company shall compensate Executive at a reasonable rate after any such termination for the time which Executive actually spends at the Company's request in rendering such assistance.  In the event the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Executive's signature (after reasonable attempts to do so) to any lawful document required to apply for or to enforce any patent, copyright or other statutory or common law protections for such Employment Inventions, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agents and attorneys-in-fact to act in his stead to execute such documents and to do such other lawful and necessary acts to further the issuance and prosecution of such patents, copyrights or other statutory or common law protection, such documents or such acts to have the same legal force and effect as if such documents were executed by or such acts were done by Executive.

 

9.3

Employment Inventions.  The definition of “Employment Invention” as used in this Section 9 is the definition found in Section 2 of the Utah Employment Inventions Act (Utah Code Ann. § 34-39-2) as follows:  "Employment Invention" means any invention or part thereof conceived, developed, reduced to practice, or created by an employee which is:  (a) conceived, developed, reduced to practice, or created by the employee: (i) within the scope of his employment; (ii) on his employer's time; or (iii) with the aid, assistance, or use of any of his employer's property, equipment, facilities, supplies, resources, or intellectual property; (b)  the result of any work, services, or duties performed by an employee for his employer; (c) related to the industry or trade of the employer; or (d) related to the current or demonstrably anticipated business, research, or development of the employer.

9.4

Exclusion of Prior Inventions.  Executive has identified on Exhibit A attached hereto a complete list of all inventions which Executive has conceived, learned, made or first reduced to practice, either alone or jointly with others, prior to employment with the Company and which Executive desires to exclude from the operation of this Agreement.  If no inventions are listed on Exhibit A, Executive represents that he has made no such inventions at the time of signing this Agreement.

 

9.5

Inventions of Third Parties.  Executive shall not disclose to the Company, use in the course of his employment, or incorporate into the Company's products or processes any confidential or proprietary information or inventions that belong to a third party, unless the Company has received authorization from such third party and Executive has been directed by the Board to do so.

 

10.

Non-Solicitation.  Executive shall not during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year following termination of employment with the Company, employ, solicit for employment, or advise or recommend to any other person that they employ or solicit for employment or retention as a consultant, any person who is, or was at any time within one (1) year prior to the Executive’s date of termination of employment with the Company, an employee of, or exclusive consultant to, the Company.

 

11.

No Conflicts.  Executive hereby represents that, to the best of his knowledge, his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and his work as an employee or consultant of the Company does not breach any oral or written agreement which he has made prior to his employment with the Company.

 

12.

Equitable Remedies.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the breach or threatened breach by him of certain provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7, 8, 9, or 10 above, would cause irreparable harm to the Company for which damages at law would be an inadequate remedy.  Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that in any such instance the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled.

 

13.

Assignment.  This Agreement is for the unique personal services of Executive and is not assignable or delegable in whole or in part by either party without the consent of the other party. 

 

14.

Waiver or Modification.  Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if in writing in a document that specifically refers to this Agreement and such document is signed by the parties hereto.

 

15.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter covered herein and therein and supersede all prior oral or written understandings and agreements with respect to such specific subject matter.

 

16.

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain enforceable in full force and effect, and the court making such determination shall modify, among other things, the scope, duration, or geographic area of such affected provision to preserve the enforceability thereof to the maximum extent then permitted by law.

Attorneys' Fees.  In the event an action or proceeding is brought by any party under this Agreement to enforce or construe any of its terms, the party that prevails by enforcing this Agreement shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other amounts and relief, its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such action or proceeding.
