EXHIBIT 10.32

INVENTION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

     This Agreement effective as of May 23, 2000 is made between uDate.com,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to collectively with its
predecessors and its past, current and future subsidiary corporations as the
“Company”), and Melvyn Morris (the “Employee”).

     In consideration of the employment or the continued employment of the
Employee by the Company, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:

     1.     Proprietary Information.

             (a)      The Employee agrees that all information, whether or not in writing,
of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business,
business relationships or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary
Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of
illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include
inventions, products, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions,
compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, clinical data,
financial data, personnel data, computer programs, customer and supplier lists,
and contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the
Company. The Employee will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any
person or entity other than employees of the Company or use the same for any
purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an employee of the
Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company, either during
or after his employment with the Company, unless and until such Proprietary
Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Employee.

             (b)      The Employee agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports,
records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or
other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary
Information, whether created by the Employee or others, which shall come into
his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the
Company to be used by the Employee only in the performance of his duties for
the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of
the Company in the custody or possession of the Employee shall be delivered to
the Company, upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii)
termination of his employment. After such delivery, the Employee shall not
retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.

             (c)      The Employee agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use
information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property, set forth
in paragraph (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials
and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company
or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the
Company or to the Employee.

     2.     Developments.

             (a)      The Employee will make, and has made, full and prompt disclosure to
the Company of all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods,
developments, software, and works of authorship, whether patentable or not,
which are created, made, conceived or reduced to

 

 

 practice by him or under his direction or jointly with others during his
employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the
premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in this
Agreement as “Developments”).

             b)      The Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company
(or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and
interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent
applications, copyrights and copyright applications. However, this paragraph
2(b) shall not apply to Developments which do not relate to the present or
planned business or research and development of the Company and which are made
and conceived by the Employee not during normal working hours, not on the
Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or
Proprietary Information. The Employee understands that, to the extent this
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which
precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of
inventions made by an employee, this paragraph 2(b) shall be interpreted not to
apply to any invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls
within such classes. The Employee also hereby waives all claims to moral
rights in any Developments.

             (c)      The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during
and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement,
maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to
Developments. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without
limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths,
formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney,
which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its
rights and interests in any Development. The Employee further agrees that if
the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the
Employee on any such papers, any executive officer of the Company shall be
entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of
the Employee, and the Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each
executive officer of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute
any such papers on his behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company
may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in
any Development, under the conditions described in this sentence.

     3.     Other Agreements.

     The Employee hereby represents that, except as the Employee has disclosed
in writing to the Company, the Employee is not bound by the terms of any
agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or
disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the
course of his employment with the Company, to refrain from competing, directly
or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party
or to refrain from soliciting employees, customers or suppliers of such
previous employer or other party. The Employee further represents that his
performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the performance of his
duties as an employee of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement
with any prior employer or other party to which the Employee is a party
(including without limitation any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement),
and that the Employee will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to
use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any
previous employer or others.

     4.     United States Government Obligations.

     The Employee acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have
agreements with the other persons or with the United States Government, or
agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company
regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or
regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Employee agrees to be
bound by all such obligations and restrictions which are made known to the
Employee and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the
Company under such agreements.

     5.     No Employment Contract.

     The Employee understand that this Agreement does not constitute a contract
of employment and does not imply that his employment will continue for any
period of time.

     6.     Miscellaneous.

             (a)      The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement.

             (b)      This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
between the Employee and the Company relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in whole
or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the Employee and the
Company. The Employee agrees that any change or changes in his duties, salary
or compensation after the signing of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or scope of this Agreement.

             (c)      This Agreement will be binding upon the Employee’s heirs, executors
and administrators and will inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors and assigns.

             (d)      No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this
Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or
consent given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in that
instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any
other occasion.

             (e)      The Employee expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof
to whose employ the Employee may be transferred without the necessity that this
Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer.

             (f)      The restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the
protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by
the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose. The Employee agrees that any
breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and
irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, the Employee
agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be
available, shall be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive
relief.

             (g)      This Agreement is governed by and will be construed as a sealed
instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
(without reference to

-3-

 

 the conflicts of laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit, or other
legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or
relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court
of the State of Delaware (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within
Delaware), and the Company and the Employee each consents to the jurisdiction
of such a court.

     THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND
UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT.
