 Berry Plastics
Corporation 
 RE:     Berry Stock Options 
 Dear Ira: 
 Reference is made to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Corporate Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, between Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Berry”) and Covalence Specialty Materials Holding Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”) and (ii) the
Management Agreement, dated September 20, 2006, among Berry, Berry Plastics Corporation, Apollo Management VI, L.P. (“Apollo”) and Graham Partners, Inc. (together with Apollo, the “Sponsors”) (as such agreement may be
amended or superseded, the “Management Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. 

This letter sets forth our agreement with respect to the following matters: 

 

	 	1.	Dividends. The Berry Incentive Plan (and any similar Berry plan) and all Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that are issued thereunder shall be amended,
effective as of and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, to provide (or shall provide, if issued after the Closing) that, upon the date (the “Dividend Date”) of payment of any extraordinary cash dividend or other extraordinary
dividend on Berry Common Stock to Berry shareholders generally (the amount payable on each share shall be referred to herein as a “Dividend”), Berry shall, with respect to each Berry Stock Option and Berry SAR that is outstanding as of the
Dividend Date, distribute to the holder thereof (the “Optionee”), with respect to the Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that are vested on or before the Dividend Date, an amount in cash (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”) equal
to the Dividend multiplied by the number of shares subject to such vested Berry Stock Option or Berry SAR. 

 With
respect to the Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that are not vested on or before the Dividend Date, Berry shall credit to a deferred compensation or similar account an amount (the “Deferred Dividend Amount”) equal to the Dividend
multiplied by the number of shares of Berry Common Stock subject to such unvested Berry Stock Option or Berry SAR. The Deferred Dividend Amount and earnings thereon will be distributed to the Optionee on the second anniversary of the Dividend Date
or, if earlier, upon the death, Disability or Retirement (each as defined in the Berry Incentive Plan) or termination by Berry Plastics Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) without Cause (as defined in the

 
Berry Incentive Plan) or by the Optionee for Good Reason (each of the above events, collectively, a “Good Termination”) or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Berry Incentive
Plan) of the Surviving Corporation (but only with respect to that number of Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that vest as a result of the occurrence of such Change in Control); provided, however, that the Deferred Dividend Amount payable to the
Optionee shall be forfeited in the event that Optionee’s employment is terminated other than in a Good Termination. 
 For
purposes of this letter, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) the Optionee’s reassignment to an office location greater than 25 miles from the office location Employee utilized as of the date hereof, or (ii) a material breach by
Berry or the Company of any agreement between the Optionee and Berry or the Company that is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice to Berry or the Company, as applicable, of such breach. 

 

	 	2.	Transaction Fees. The Berry Incentive Plan (and any similar plan) and all Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs issue thereunder shall be amended, effective as of
and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, to provide (or shall provide, if issued after the Closing) that, upon the date (the “Transaction Payment Date”) of payment to the Sponsors or their affiliates of any compensation pursuant
to Section 6 of the Management Agreement or of any similar fee relating to a Change in Control of Berry or the Company, any recapitalization of Berry, any refinancing of Berry’s debt or other financing event involving Berry, or any similar
transaction (other than a payment pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Management Agreement) (a “Transaction Fee”), Berry shall, with respect to each Berry Stock Option and Berry SAR that is outstanding as of the Transaction Payment Date
and each share of Berry Common Stock held by the Employee Stockholders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement dated September 20, 2006, among Berry and the stockholders of Berry (the “Stockholders Agreement”)) as of the Transaction
Payment Date, distribute to such Optionee or Employee Stockholder, with respect to the Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that are vested on or before the Transaction Payment Date and the shares of Berry Common Stock held on the Transaction Payment
Date, an amount in cash (the “Transaction Fee Amount”) equal to the amount, calculated on a fully diluted basis, that a holder of Berry Common Stock would have been entitled to receive had the Transaction Fee been paid to all shareholders
of Berry on a pro rata per-share basis. 

 With respect to the Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that are not
vested on or before the Transaction Payment Date, Berry shall credit to a deferred compensation or similar account an amount (the “Deferred Transaction Fee Amount”) in cash equal to the Transaction Fee Amount that would have been
distributed to the Optionee pursuant to this paragraph 2 had such Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs been vested. The Deferred Transaction Fee Amount and earnings thereon will be distributed to the Optionee on the second anniversary of the
Transaction Payment Date or, if earlier, upon a Good Termination or a Change in Control of the Surviving Corporation (but only with respect to that 

  
 -2-

 
number of Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs that vest as a result of the occurrence of such Change in Control); provided, however, that the Deferred Dividend Amount payable to the Optionee or
Employee Stockholder shall be forfeited in the event that Optionee’s employment is terminated other than in a Good Termination. 
 If the Sponsors or their affiliates become entitled to receive any distributions under the Management Agreement (or any similar agreement) to which they would not otherwise have been entitled pursuant to
the terms of the Management Agreement as in effect on the date hereof (a “New Fee”), the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this letter and/or the plans, agreements and trusts adopted or amended pursuant hereto to
provide the Optionees with the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the amount, calculated on a fully diluted basis, that a holder of Berry Common Stock would have been entitled to receive had the New Fee been paid to all shareholders of
Berry on a pro rata per-share basis. 
  

	 	3.	Adjustment of Berry Stock Options in connection with the Merger. In addition to the adjustments provided for pursuant to Section 5.4(a) of the Merger
Agreement, effective as of and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing: (i) Berry shall cause each Berry Stock Option and each Berry SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to vest as to an additional twenty
percent (20%) of the total number of shares underlying such Berry Stock Option (pro rata across all remaining unvested tranches); (ii) each Escalating Priced Option (as defined in the Berry Incentive Plan) shall be converted into a Fixed
Priced Option (as defined in the Berry Incentive Plan), with no increase in the exercise price as of the date of grant of such Escalating Priced Option; and (iii) with respect to each Berry Stock Option and Berry SAR, the vesting of which is
contingent upon the achievement of performance goals (“Performance Awards”), all such performance goals shall be deemed to be achieved as of the Effective Time. 

Following the Effective Time, each outstanding Berry Stock Option and each Berry SAR (including the Performance Awards) shall thereafter
vest as to 4% of the total number of underlying shares of Berry Common Stock on the last day of each calendar quarter during the five years immediately following the Initial Vesting Date (as such term is defined in the applicable grant agreement
governing such Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs). 
  

	 	4.	IPO. Upon the occurrence of an IPO (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the provisions of Section 1 of this letter agreement shall no longer apply.

  

	 	5.	Funding. Upon each Dividend Date or Transaction Payment Date, as applicable, Berry shall contribute to an irrevocable rabbi trust on behalf of each Optionee an
amount equal to the applicable Deferred Dividend Amount and Deferred Transaction Fee Amount. 

  
 -3-

	 	6.	Applicable Securities. All references herein to “Berry Common Stock” shall include Surviving Corporation Common Stock, as appropriate. All references
herein to Berry Stock Options and Berry SARs shall include all stock options and stock appreciation rights issued under the Berry Incentive Plan (and any similar plan). 

 

	 	7.	Tax Matters. This letter is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations
and guidance issued thereunder, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. In the event the parties determine in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that any portion of this letter does not comply with final regulations
or other guidance under Section 409A, the parties agree to amend this letter and/or the plans, agreements and trusts adopted or amended pursuant hereto to bring them into compliance with Section 409A, but in such manner as will preserve
the terms and intent of this letter to the extent reasonably possible and in such a manner that will not result in a negative economic impact to Berry, the Company, the Optionee or Employee Stockholder. 

 

	 	8.	Governing Law. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict
of law principles.

 Exhibit 10.21 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of 

August 1, 2010, between BERRY PLASTICS 

CORPORATION a Delaware corporation (the 

“Corporation”), and the individual listed on 

Schedule 1 hereto (the “Employee”). 
 The Employee is an employee of the Corporation and as such has substantial experience that has value to the Corporation. The Corporation desires to employ the Employee, and the Employee desires to accept
such employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and of the mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Employment; Effectiveness of Agreement. Effective August 14, 1997 (the “Commencement Date”), the
Corporation shall employ the Employee, and the Employee shall accept employment by the Corporation, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 2. Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided herein, the employment of the Employee hereunder shall commence on the Commencement Date and terminate on December 31, 2011
(the “Expiration Date”). Such period of employment is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Period.” 

3. Duties. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be initially employed by the Corporation at the position
set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, and shall perform such duties and services, regardless of location, consistent with such position as may reasonably be assigned to the Employee by the officers of the Corporation or their designees. 

4. Time to be Devoted to Employment. Except for vacation, absences due to temporary illness and absences resulting
from causes set forth in Section 6, the Employee shall devote the Employee’s business time, attention and energies on a full-time basis to the performance of the duties and responsibilities referred to in Section 3. The Employee shall
not during the Employment Period be engaged in any other business activity which, in the reasonable judgment of the officers of the Corporation, would conflict with the ability of the Employee to perform his or her duties under this Agreement,
whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. 
 5. Compensation;
Benefits; Reimbursement. 
 (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Corporation shall pay to the
Employee an annual base salary in the amount set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, which shall be subject to review and, at the option of persons having authority regarding such matters at the Corporation, subject to adjustment (such salary, as the same
may be adjusted from time to time as aforesaid, being referred to herein as the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable in such installments (but not less frequent than monthly) as is the policy of the Corporation with respect to
employees of the Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as the Employee. 
 (b) Bonus. During
the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in all bonus and incentive programs of the Corporation (the “Programs”) generally available from time to time to employees of the Corporation at substantially the same
level of employment as the Employee, such participation to be in substantially the same manner as the participation therein by such employees.

 (c) Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to
such benefits (together with the Programs, the “Benefit Arrangements”) as are generally made available from time to time to other employees of the Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as the Employee. 

(d) Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Corporation shall reimburse the Employee, in accordance
with the policies and practices of the Corporation in effect from time to time with respect to other employees of the Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as the Employee, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and
other disbursements incurred by him or her for or on behalf of the Corporation in connection with the performance of his or her duties hereunder upon presentation by the Employee to the Corporation of appropriate documentation therefor. 

(e) Deductions. The Corporation shall deduct from any payments to be made by it to the Employee under this Section 5 or
Section 8 any amounts required to be withheld in respect of any Federal, state or local income or other taxes. 
 (f)
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Any bonus or incentive payment described herein shall be paid no later than two and a half months after the end of the fiscal year in respect of which such payment is
awarded, unless the Employee shall elect to defer the receipt of such payment pursuant to an arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

6. Disability or Death of the Employee. 
 (a) If, during the Employment Period, the Employee is incapacitated or disabled by accident, sickness or otherwise (hereinafter, a “Disability”) so as to render the Employee mentally or
physically incapable of performing the services required to be performed under this Agreement for ninety (90) days in any period of three hundred and sixty (360) consecutive days, the Corporation may, at any time thereafter, at its option,
terminate the employment of the Employee under this Agreement immediately upon giving the Employee notice to that effect, it being understood that upon such termination the Employee shall be eligible for the disability benefits provided by the
Corporation. 
 (b) If the Employee dies during the Employment Period, the Termination Date (as defined below) shall be deemed to
be the date of the Employee’s death. 
 7. Termination. 

(a) The Corporation may terminate the employment of the Employee and all of the Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement
(except as hereinafter provided) at any time for “cause” by giving the Employee notice of such termination, with reasonable specificity of the grounds therefor. For the purposes of this Section 7, “cause” shall mean
(i) willful misconduct with respect to the business and affairs of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, insubordination or willful neglect of duties (other than neglect due solely to Employee’s illness or other
involuntary mental or physical disability), including the Employee’s violation of any material Corporation policy, (ii) material breach of any of the provisions of Agreement or (iii) conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude or
fraud. A termination pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall take effect immediately upon the giving of the notice contemplated hereby.

 (b) The Corporation may terminate the employment of the Employee and all of the
Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement (except as hereinafter provided) at any time during the Employment Period without “cause” (hereinafter, a “Termination Without Cause”) by giving the Employee written notice of
such termination, to be effective thirty (30) days following the giving of such written notice. 
 (c) The Employee may
terminate the employment of the Employee hereunder at any time during the Employment Period by giving the Corporation at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such termination (hereinafter, a “Voluntary Termination”),
such termination to be effective on the date specified in such notice, whereupon all of the Corporation’s obligations hereunder shall terminate (except as hereinafter provided). For convenience of reference, the date upon which any termination
of the employment of the Employee pursuant to Section 6 or 7 hereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Termination Date occur until the Employee experiences
a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and the date on which such separation from services takes place shall be the “Termination Date.” 

8. Effect of Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Upon the effective date of termination of the Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 6, Section 7(a) or Section 7(c) hereof, neither the Employee nor the Employee’s
beneficiaries or estate shall have any further rights under this Agreement or any claims against the Corporation except the right to receive, within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date: 

(i) the unpaid portion of the Base Salary provided for in Section 5(a), computed on a pro rata basis to the
Termination Date; payable in such installments as the Base Salary was paid prior to the Termination Date; and 

(ii) reimbursement for any expenses for which the Employee shall not have theretofore been reimbursed, as provided in
Section 5(d); and 
 (iii) the unpaid portion of any amounts earned by the Employee prior to the Termination
Date pursuant to any Benefit Arrangement; provided, however, unless specifically provided otherwise in this Section 8, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any benefits under a Benefit Arrangement that have accrued during
a fiscal year if the terms of such Benefit Arrangement require that the beneficiary be employed by the Corporation as of the end of such fiscal year. 
 (b) Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 7(b) or Resignation for Good Reason (as defined in Section 8(e) below), neither the Employee nor the
Employee’s beneficiaries or estate shall have any further rights under this Agreement or any claims against the Corporation arising out of this Agreement except the right to receive: 

(i) the payments, if any, referred to in Sections 8(a)(i)(ii) and (iii); and 

(ii) the applicable bonus provided for in Section 5(b) computed on a pro rata basis to the Termination Date,
payable at the same time and in the same manner only as, if and when bonuses are paid to other employees of the Corporation of comparable level; and 

  

					
		  	-3-	  	 Employment Agreement
 Randall J. Becker

 (iii) any other benefits, including, without limitation, any accrued
vacation payable in accordance with the policies of the Corporation from time to time in effect for the officers of the Corporation, and 
 (iv) provided, however, that if the termination of employment is pursuant to a Termination Without Cause (as defined by Section 7(b) herein) or a Resignation For Good Reason, then, the
Employee shall have the right to receive as severance compensation an amount equal to the greater of (A) one hundred percent (100%) of one year’s Base Salary (as of the Termination Date) to be paid until the first anniversary of the
Termination Date and (B) 1/12th of one year’s
Base Salary (as of the Termination Date) for each year (not to exceed thirty (30) years in the aggregate) that the Employee was employed by the Corporation (and its predecessors-in-interest), the amount referred to in clause (A) or (B), as
the case may be, to be payable at the same times at which and in the same manner in which the Base Salary would have been payable to the Employee had the Termination Without Cause not occurred; provided further, however, in the event
that, at any time after the Expiration Date, there occurs a Termination of Employment pursuant to a Termination Without a Cause, the Corporation shall pay the Severance Compensation to the Employee as if the Expiration Date had not occurred.

 (c) Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of “retirement” (as defined in the
Corporation’s Health and Welfare Plan for Early Retirees (the “Retiree Plan”)), the Employee (and his or her eligible spouse and dependents) shall be entitled to receive post-retirement medical insurance coverage pursuant to
the terms of the Retiree Plan, for which the cost of premiums shall be paid by the Employee (or such spouse and/or dependents). In the event that the Retiree Plan is no longer in effect (or if otherwise necessary for tax and legal purposes), the
Corporation shall make available equivalent coverage to the Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) at substantially the same cost to the Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) as would have been charged under the Retiree Plan as of the
earlier of the date the Retiree Plan is terminated and the time of the Employee’s retirement (“Equivalent Retiree Coverage”); provided, however, that the Corporation may increase the premium charged to the
Employee (and such spouse and/or dependents) based on the increase in cost, if any, to provide the Retiree Plan that may arise after the Employee’s retirement. The Corporation shall take any action necessary to ensure that the Equivalent
Retiree Coverage, if any, shall be provided in such a manner that such benefits are excluded from the Employee’s income for federal income tax purposes and other than pursuant to the terms of a self-insured medical reimbursement plan that does
not satisfy the requirements of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 (d) The
Employee’s obligations under Sections 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement, and the Corporation’s obligations under this Section 8, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Employee’s employment
hereunder. 
 (e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Resignation for Good Reason” means the Employee’s
resignation as a result of Employee’s reassignment to an office location greater than twenty-five (25) miles from the Office/Headquarters location set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. 

9. Disclosure of Information. 
 (a) From and after the date hereof, the Employee shall not use or disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity (other than any officer, director, employee, affiliate or
representative of the Corporation), except as required in connection with the performance of the Employee’s duties under and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and as required by law or

  

					
		  	-4-	  	 Employment Agreement
 Randall J. Becker

 
judicial process, any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Employee make use of any of the Confidential Information for the
Employee’s purposes or for the benefit of any person or entity except the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof. 
 (b) For
purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) the Intellectual Property Rights (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, (ii) all other information of a proprietary nature relating
to the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or the business or assets of the Corporation or any such subsidiary, including, without limitation, books, records, customer and registered user lists, vender lists, supplier lists, distribution
channels, pricing information, cost information, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, financial statements, budgets and projections and (iii) any confidential and proprietary information in the possession of the Corporation of any customer
of the Corporation or any other third party other than information which is generally within the public domain at the time of the receipt thereof by the Employee or at the time of use or disclosure of such Confidential Information by the Employee
other than as a result of the breach by the Employee of the Employee’s agreement hereunder. 
 (c) As used herein, the term
“Intellectual Property Rights” means all industrial and intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, patents, patent applications, patent rights, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, service mark
applications, copyrights, copyright applications, know-how, certificates of public convenience and necessity, franchises, licenses, trade secrets, proprietary processes and formulae, inventions, development tools, marketing materials, trade dress,
logos and designs and all documentation and media constituting, describing or relating to the above, including, without limitation, manuals, memoranda and records. 
 10. Restrictive Covenants. 
 (a) The Employee acknowledges and
recognizes that during the Employment Period he will be privy to Confidential Information and further acknowledges and recognizes that the Corporation would find it extremely difficult to replace the Employee. Accordingly, in consideration of the
premises contained herein and the consideration to be received by the Employee hereunder (including, without limitation, the severance compensation described in Section 8(b), if any), without the prior written consent of the Corporation, the
Employee shall not, at any time during the employer/employee relationship between the Corporation and for the period of time beginning with the termination of such employer/employee relationship for any reason (including a Resignation for Good
Reason by the Employee and/or by the Corporation for Cause) and the date on which the final payment of the severance compensation described in Section 8(b) would have been made to the Employee by the Corporation if such termination had been a
Termination without Cause, (i) directly or indirectly engage in, represent in any way, or be connected with, any Competing Business directly competing with the business of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate
thereof within the state in which Employee is employed or any other state of the United States or any country other than the United States in which the Corporation is doing business, whether such engagement shall be as an officer, director, owner,
employee, partner, affiliate or other participant in any Competing Business, (ii) assist others in engaging in any Competing Business in the manner described in clause (i) above, (iii) induce or solicit individuals who are, or were at
any time in the preceding twelve months, employees of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate thereof to terminate their employment with the Corporation or any such direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate or to engage in
any Competing Business, or hire, or induce or solicit (or assist others to hire or induce or solicit) the hiring of, individuals then employed, or employed at any time in the preceding twelve (12) months, by the Corporation or any subsidiary
thereof, or (iv) induce any entity or person with which the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or any affiliate thereof has a business relationship to terminate or alter such business relationship. As used herein, “Competing
Business” shall mean any business involving the sale of 

  

					
		  	-5-	  	 Employment Agreement
 Randall J. Becker

 
products in any city or county in any state of the United States or any country other than the United States if such business or the products sold by it are competitive, directly or indirectly,
at the time of the Termination of Employment with (A) the business of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof, (B) any of the products manufactured, sold or distributed by the Corporation or any direct or indirect
subsidiary thereof or (C) any products or business being developed or conducted by the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof. 
 (b) The Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, but
he or she nevertheless believes that he or she has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Corporation and as otherwise provided hereunder to justify clearly such restrictions which, in any event
(given his education, skills and ability), the Employee does not believe would prevent him or her from earning a living. 

11. Right to Inventions. The Employee shall promptly disclose, grant and assign to the Corporation for its sole use
and benefit any and all inventions, improvements, technical information and suggestions reasonably relating to the business of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof (collectively, the “Inventions”) which the Employee may
develop or acquire during the period of the employer/employee relationship between the Corporation and the Employee (whether or not during usual working hours), together with all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights and reissues thereof
that may at any time be granted for or upon the Inventions. In connection therewith: 
 (a) the Employee
recognizes and agrees that the Inventions shall be the sole property of the Corporation, and the Corporation shall be the sole owner of all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights and reissues thereof that may at any time be granted for or
on the Inventions; 
 (b) the Employee hereby assigns to the Corporation any rights the Employee may have in or
acquire to the Inventions; 
 (c) the Employee shall, at the expense of the Corporation, promptly execute and
deliver such applications, assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of the Corporation to vest title to the Inventions and any patent applications, patents, copyrights, reissues or other
proprietary rights related thereto in the Corporation and to enable it to obtain and maintain the entire right and title thereto throughout the world; 
 (d) the Employee recognizes and agrees that the Inventions to the extent copyrightable shall constitute works for hire under the copyright laws of the United States; and 

(e) the Employee shall render to the Corporation, at its expense, all such assistance as it may require in the prosecution
of applications for said patents, copyrights, reissues or other proprietary rights, in the prosecution or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any said applications, patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and in any
litigation in which the Corporation may be involved relating to the Inventions. 
 12. Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 (a) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein
contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not

provisions of this Agreement, to the extent the economic benefits conferred upon the parties by virtue of this Agreement remain substantially unimpaired, shall not be affected or impaired in any manner, and any such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability with respect to such provisions shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (i) Remedies. All remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or
separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Employee acknowledges that in the event of a breach of any of the Employee’s covenants
contained in Sections 9, 10 or 11, the Corporation shall be entitled to immediate relief enjoining such violations in any court or before any judicial body having jurisdiction over such a claim. 

(j) Survival. Sections 8 through 11, this Section 12 and the defined terms used in any section referred to in this
Section 12(j), shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment on the Termination Date and the expiration of this Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Employment Agreement as of the date first above written.
