 3.3 EXCLUDED INVENTIONS
OF EMPLOYEE. Employee warrants and represents to the Company that Employee has no proprietary rights in any inventions, patents, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets or secret processes related to

therefor, on any document reasonably necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, trademark or other right or protection relating to any Invention, whether by reason of Employee’s mental or physical incapacity,
Employee’s unavailability, or any other cause whatsoever, then Employee agrees and hereby irrevocably appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers as the Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in
Employee’s behalf to execute and file any such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections, with the same force and effect as

Company cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages, (b) therefore agrees that in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to such preliminary or other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and any
other equitable relief that a court may determine to be appropriate, without any need for the Company to post any bond or other collateral in connection with any such order, (c) further agrees that such equitable relief shall be in addition to
any damages or other remedies provided by law and otherwise available to the Company by reason of Employee’s breach, and (d) waives any requirement that the Company post a bond or other assets as a condition of obtaining any injunction or
other equitable relief.
