 Exhibit 10.4.25 

AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 16th day of July 2012, by and between Enzo Micali (“Micali”) and Harris Interactive
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 
 RECITALS 

A. Micali and the Company entered into a “Separation from Employment” agreement, dated June 22, 2011 (the
“Separation Agreement”), a true and correct copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”. 
 B. In connection with the Separation Agreement, Micali’s employment as Global Executive Vice President, Technology, Operations and Panel, and Chief Information Officer of the Company was terminated
by mutual agreement, effective June 24, 2011 (the “Separation Date”). 
 C. Pursuant to
Section 19 of the Separation Agreement, the Effective Date of the Separation Agreement was June 30, 2011. 
 D.
Section “3(a)” of the Separation Agreement provided that the Company would continue to pay Micali his bi-weekly salary through the month of January 2012, in the same manner and frequency as he was compensated prior to the Separation Date.

 E. Section “3(b)” of the Separation Agreement provided that the Company would pay Micali, on a bi-weekly basis, the
cash equivalent of the Company’s share of his health (including dental) coverage premiums at his active employee rate on the Separation Date through the month of January 2012. 

 F. The Company did not pay Micali certain of the amounts under Sections “3(a)” and
“3(b)” of the Separation Agreement when due, and a dispute between the parties arose over the Company’s obligation to make such payments. 
 G. The parties hereto desire to finally resolve all disputes and claims arising out of the Separation Agreement and out of Micali’s employment and service as the Company’s Global Executive Vice
President, Technology, Operations and Panel, and Chief Information Officer, on the following terms and conditions. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Micali acknowledges and affirms that (a) in connection with the
Separation Agreement, his employment as Global Executive Vice President, Technology, Operations and Panel, and Chief Information Officer of the Company terminated by mutual agreement, effective June 24, 2011, and (b) by reason of this
Agreement, he will not be entitled to any severance compensation or benefits from the Company beyond that which is provided for under this Agreement. 
 2. In satisfaction of all severance and other consideration due to Micali by the Company under the Separation Agreement (or otherwise), the Company agrees to pay Micali the sum of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($20,000.00), subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings (the “Settlement Amount”). 
 3. The Settlement Amount shall be paid by the Company to Micali by direct deposit into the bank account into which Micali’s salary payments were made while he was employed by the Company within five
(5) business days of the execution and delivery by Micali of this Agreement and the “General Release” in the form annexed hereto as Exhibits “B” (as required by Paragraph “4” below). 

4. In consideration of the mutual promises and obligations agreed to by the parties

  
 2 

 
pursuant to this Agreement, Micali agrees that upon (i) the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and a “General Release” in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
“C”, and (ii) the Company’s payment of the Settlement Amount in accordance with subparagraph “3” above, Micali and all of his agents, attorneys, representatives, heirs, executors, successors and assigns (collectively,
the “Micali Releasors”) shall be deemed to have released (i) the Company and all of its present and former affiliates, divisions, associates, owners, predecessors, principals, agents, servants, employees,
shareholders, members, partners, officers and directors, attorneys, representatives, successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators (collectively, the “Harris Releasees”) of and from any and all
claims, demands, causes of action, indebtedness and obligations of any kind, nature or description, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, at law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, that the Micali Releasors ever had,
now have, or hereafter can, shall, or may have, against any of the Harris Releasees, from the beginning of time through the effective date of this Agreement. WITHOUT IN ANY WAY LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IT IS SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS
RELEASE INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RELEASE OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS UNDER TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, AS AMENDED, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1991, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1866 (42 U.S.C. § 1981), THE EMPLOYEE
RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT, AS AMENDED, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT, THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, THE NEW YORK STATE HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND THE NEW YORK LABOR
LAW; and all other federal, state or local fair employment practices statutes, ordinances, regulations or constitutional provisions; provided, however, that this release shall not prohibit Micali from enforcing his rights under this Agreement.
Micali shall confirm such release by his execution and 

  
 3 

 
delivery of a separate “General Release” in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit “B”, it being understood that any failure by Micali to execute or deliver such separate
“General Release” shall not diminish the effectiveness of the release granted by the Micali Releasors to the Harris Releasees pursuant to this Paragraph “4”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without admitting that Micali has
any rights to indemnification under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, nothing herein contained (or in the release being delivered by Micali pursuant to this Agreement) shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of
indemnification that Micali may have pursuant thereto or to seek enforcement thereof in the Delaware Court of Chancery. 
 5. In
consideration of the mutual promises and obligations agreed to by the parties hereto, the Company agrees that upon Micali’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and a “General Release” in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
“B”, the Company and all of its present and former affiliates, divisions, associates, owners, predecessors, principals, agents, servants, employees, shareholders, members, partners, officers and directors, attorneys, representatives,
successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators (collectively, the “Harris Releasors”) shall be deemed to have released Micali and all of his agents, attorneys, representatives, heirs, executors,
successors and assigns (collectively, the “Micali Releasees”) of and from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, indebtedness and obligations of any kind, nature or description, whether known or unknown,
liquidated or unliquidated, at law or in equity, whether sounding in tort or contract, that the Company ever had, now has, or hereafter can, shall, or may have, against the Micali Releasees, from the beginning of time through the effective date of
this Agreement; provided however that this release shall not prevent the Company from enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The Company shall confirm such release by its execution and delivery of a separate “General Release” in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit “C”, it being understood that any failure by the Company to 

  
 4 

 
execute or deliver such separate “General Release” shall not diminish the effectiveness of the release granted by the Harris Releasors to the Micali Releasees pursuant to this Paragraph
“5”. 
 6. Micali shall not issue, authorize, or condone any disparaging comments or statements to present or former
employees of the Company (or of its subsidiaries or affiliates), or to any individual or entity with whom or which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has a business relationship, or to others, which could have a material adverse
effect on the conduct of the Company’s business or its reputation or the conduct of the business or reputation of any of the Company’s current or former subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, or employees. Likewise, neither the
Company nor any of its executive officers or directors shall issue, authorize or condone any disparaging comments or statements about Micali that could have a material adverse effect on his reputation. Nothing herein shall prevent Micali or the
Company from making such truthful disclosures as shall be required by law. 
 7. (a) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or
restrict Micali or the Company from (i) making any disclosure of information required by law or legal process; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise participating in or assisting in any investigation or proceeding
brought by, any federal or state regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization; or (iii) testifying, participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act or any federal, state, or municipal law relating to fraud or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. 

(b) To the extent permitted by law, Micali agrees to give the Company timely and prompt written notice (in the manner provided for
herein) of the receipt of any subpoena, court order or other legal process compelling the disclosure of any information and/or documents described so as to allow the Company reasonable opportunity to take such action as may be

  
 5 

 
necessary in order to protect such information and/or documents from disclosure. 
 8. Micali agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel, and at the Company’s expense as specified in the last sentence of this Paragraph “8”, in connection with any
investigation, administrative proceeding or litigation relating to any matter in which he was involved or of which he has knowledge as a result of his employment by the Company. Pre-approved expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation by
Micali shall be reimbursed by the Company. 
 9. This Agreement may be specifically enforced in court and may be used as
evidence in a subsequent proceeding in which any of the parties allege a breach of this Agreement. In the event any action, suit or other proceeding is brought to interpret, enforce or obtain relief from a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall recover all such party’s costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in each and every such action, suit or proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom. 

10. All notices in connection with, or contemplated by, this Agreement shall be validly given or made only if made in writing and

shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt in the case of personal delivery and upon the date of receipt indicated on the return receipt in case of mail. 

11. Micali and the Company each acknowledge and represent to each other that he or it (as the case may be) has been fully advised by his

or its behalf). 
 12. Micali and the Company each acknowledge that he or it (as the case may be) has participated through his
or its counsel in the drafting of this Agreement, and that this Agreement is the product of arms’-length negotiations. Accordingly, it is mutually agreed by each of the parties hereto that the language of this Agreement shall not be
presumptively construed either in favor of, or against, any party on the grounds that such party is the “drafter” of this Agreement. Additionally, no prior drafts of this Agreement, any of the exhibits annexed hereto, or any of the various
documents to be executed and delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement, shall be admissible in any dispute or proceeding to construe the intent or the meaning of any provision herein or of any of the documents (including the “General
Releases”) that the parties have agreed to execute and pursuant hereto. 
 13. Each of the parties hereto expressly agrees
that he or it (as the case may be) will execute and deliver such additional documents as may reasonably be requested in the future by the other party hereto in order to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Agreement. 

14. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regards to
conflicts of law principles. Any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, or involving this Agreement, shall be filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, which jurisdiction and venue both Micali and the

  
 7 

 
Company hereby irrevocably and absolutely consent to, and with respect to which each waives any and all defenses or objections based on jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum. 

15. This Agreement, and the rights of the respective parties hereto, shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto, their
heirs, successors, and assigns. Any assignment of the obligations imposed on the respective parties by this Agreement shall be ineffective, and shall not release the original obligor of such obligations, unless such assignment and release of
obligations is consented to in writing by the party to whom such obligations are owed. 
 16. This Agreement has been negotiated
and entered into as a settlement and compromise that shall inure to the benefit of all parties hereto, but shall not constitute or be construed as an admission by any party hereto as to the validity, invalidity or extent of any claims that existed
prior to the parties entering into this Agreement, or as a waiver or admission by any party as to any other matter. 
 17. The
parties hereto shall each bear his or its (as the case may be) own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. 
 18. Except as provided for in Paragraph “19” below, this Agreement, together with the documents to be executed and delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement, represent the sole and
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, negotiations and discussions between the parties hereto and/or their respective counsel with respect to the subject matter covered
hereby. No party to this Agreement has relied in any way upon any prior representations or statements of any kind not found in this Agreement. 
 19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, or in the “General Releases” to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto, it is hereby understood, agreed and

  
 8 

 
acknowledged by the parties hereto that Micali’s confidentiality obligations with regard to the Company’s information shall remain in full force and effect. 

20. Micali represents and warrants that he has fully complied with Paragraph “7” of the Separation Agreement, and has
previously returned to the Company all documents and other items as required thereby. 
 21. This Agreement may not be changed
orally, and no modification, amendment or waiver of any of the provisions contained in this Agreement, nor any future representation, promise or condition in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be binding upon any party
hereto unless made in writing and signed by such party. 
 22. If, at any time after the effective date of this Agreement, any
provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court or other forum of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however,
shall have no effect upon, and shall not impair the enforceability of, any other provision of this Agreement. 
 23. Each of the
parties hereto represents and warrants that he or it (as the case may be) has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and to perform the obligations required hereunder, and that no other action, consent, resolution or
authority is necessary to either enter into this agreement or have all of the obligations hereunder be enforceable against such party 
 24. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single agreement. This Agreement and
each of the “General Releases” contemplated hereby may be executed by facsimile transmission, the parties hereto agreeing that their fax (or email in .pdf) signature shall constitute original signatures.

 2EX-10.4.28

 Exhibit 10.4.28 

Employment Agreement Amendment No. 1 
 This Employment Agreement Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is made September 20, 2012 between Harris Interactive Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Todd Myers
(the “Executive”). 
 This Amendment amends the Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) made
between Company and the Executive effective as of March 27, 2012. All terms of the Employment Agreement, except as amended hereby, remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to
them in the Employment Agreement. 
 1. Section 3.1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
new second sentence: 
 Effective February 19, 2012, Company shall pay to Executive Base Compensation in the amount of
$275,000 per annum. 
 2. The first sentence in Section 3.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows: 
 As additional cash compensation for the services rendered by Executive to Company, Executive shall be
eligible to receive a target annual performance bonus as part of the Corporate Bonus Plan (“Performance Bonus”) of up to 40% of Base Compensation for fiscal 2012 and up to 60% of Base Compensation for subsequent fiscal years, payable in
full at the same time as payment of other executive bonuses by Company in accordance with the terms of the Corporate Bonus Plan. 
 3. Section 3.3 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 
 3.3 Retention Bonus. As additional cash compensation for the services rendered by Executive to Company, Executive shall be eligible to receive the following retention bonuses (each, a
“Retention Bonus”): (a) $75,000, if Executive is employed by Company (or a successor in interest of Company) on June 30, 2013 (the “Fiscal 2013 Retention Bonus”), (b) $25,000, if Executive is employed by Company
(or a successor in interest of Company) on December 31, 2013 (the “First Half Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus”), and (c) $75,000, if Executive is employed by Company (or a successor in interest of Company) on June 30, 2014 (the
“Second Half Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus”). The aggregate of the First Half Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus and the Second Half Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus are together referred to herein as the “Total Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus”.
Company shall pay to Executive each earned Retention Bonus in the first available pay period on or after the applicable Retention Bonus date; provided, however, in the event that a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs prior to June 30,
2013, the Fiscal 2013 Retention Bonus shall be deemed earned and paid to Executive within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control regardless of whether Executive remains employed by the successor in

 
interest of Company on June 30, 2013; provided, further, to the extent that a Change in Control occurs prior to June 30, 2014, a prorated portion of the Total Fiscal 2014 Retention
Bonus shall be paid to Executive within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control and the remaining portion shall be paid to Executive in the first available pay period on or after the applicable Retention Bonus date(s) if Executive remains
employed by the successor in interest of Company on such Retention Bonus date(s). The prorated portion of the Total Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus shall be calculated by multiplying the Total Fiscal 2014 Retention Bonus (but only that portion which
remains unpaid) at the time of the Change in Control by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in fiscal 2014 prior to the Change in Control and the denominator of which is 365. 

4. A new Section 3.10 is hereby added to the Employment Agreement to read as follows: 

3.10 Potential Restricted Stock Award. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board, Company shall grant the
Executive an equity award of 50,000 restricted Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) if the U.S. business of Company achieves 100% of its fiscal 2013 management revenue and sales budget (the “Fiscal 2013 Milestone”), under the
condition that Executive is employed by Company on June 30, 2013. If the award is granted, the Restricted Shares will vest on June 30, 2014, under the condition that Executive is employed by Company on such date; provided, however, if
Executive’s employment is terminated by Company without Cause (as defined herein) or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined herein) on or prior to June 30, 2014, or if there is a Change in Control prior to
June 30, 2014, then all shares will immediately vest on the date of termination. If a Change in Control occurs prior to June 30, 2013, then, if Company achieves the Fiscal 2013 Milestone and Executive is employed by Company on
June 30, 2013, rather than receiving the award of Restricted Shares, Executive will be entitled to receive a cash award, calculated by multiplying 50,000 by the price per share paid by the acquirer of Company in the Change in Control
transaction. 
 5. Section 4.5(c)(vii) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 (vii) a severance amount equal to the sum of twelve (12) months of Executive’s then-current Base Compensation and
the equivalent of twelve (12) months of Company’s share of health and medical premiums at Executive’s then-active employee rate, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments commencing thirty (30) days after the
Termination Date; provided, however, if Executive is terminated without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, in each such case in contemplation of, or during the twelve (12) month period following, a Change in Control,
then the severance amount shall equal the sum of eighteen (18) months of Executive’s then-current Base Compensation and the equivalent of eighteen (18) months of Company’s share of health and medical premiums at Executive’s
then-active employee rate, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. 
 6. Section 5
of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

  
 2 

	 	5.	NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY 

  

	 	5.1	Non-Competition. 

 (a)
Consideration for this Section. Executive acknowledges and agrees that: 
 (i) the advance commitment of Company to
provide the benefits afforded by this Agreement are over and above those otherwise afforded by Company policy, and in making its decision to offer Executive the benefits afforded by this Agreement and bind itself in advance to the obligations
hereunder Company relied upon and was induced by the covenants made by Executive in this Section 5; 
 (ii) in accepting
the benefits evidenced by this Agreement Executive is receiving an asset of significant value, and Company’s entry into this Agreement and its incurrence of the related payment and other obligations hereunder are fair and adequate consideration
for Executive’s obligations under this Section 5; 
 (iii) Executive’s position with Company places Executive in
a position of confidence and trust with the clients and employees of Company; 
 (iv) Company’s business (including its
acquisitive activity) is carried on throughout the world and accordingly, it is reasonable that the restrictive covenants set forth below are not limited by specific geographic area; 

(v) the course of Executive’s employment with Company necessarily requires the disclosure of confidential information and trade
secrets related to Company’s relationships with clients (such as, without limitation, pricing information, marketing plans, budgets, designs, methodologies, products, client preferences and policies, and identity of appropriate personnel of
clients with sufficient authority to influence a shift in suppliers) as well as other confidential and proprietary information, (such as databases, methodologies, and technologies); 

(vi) Executive’s employment affords Executive the opportunity to develop a personal acquaintanceship and relationship with
Company’s employees and clients, which in some cases may constitute Company’s primary or only contact with such employees and clients, and to develop a knowledge of those clients’ and employees’ affairs and requirements;

 (vii) Company’s relationships with its established clients and employees are placed in Executive’s hands in
confidence and trust; 
 (viii) it is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the goodwill and business of Company that
Executive make the covenants contained in this Agreement; and 
 (ix) Executive understands that the provisions of this
Section 5 may limit Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar or related to the business of Company, but nevertheless agrees and acknowledges that (A) the provisions of this Section 5 are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of Company, and do not impose a greater restraint 

  
 3 

 
than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of Company, (B) such provisions contain reasonable limitations as to the time and the scope of activity to be restrained,
and (C) Company’s advance agreement to make payments under the various circumstances set forth in this Agreement provide Executive with benefits adequate to fully compensate Executive for any lost opportunity due to the operation of this
Section 5. 
 In consideration of the foregoing and in light of Executive’s education, skills and abilities, which are sufficient to
enable Executive to earn a living in way that is not competitive with Company’s business, Executive agrees that all defenses by Executive to the strict enforcement of such provisions are hereby waived by Executive. 

 

	 	5.2	Restricted Activity. 

(a) During the period that Executive is employed by Company, and for the period twelve months after the Termination Date (the
“Non-Competition Period”), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner (collectively, “Be Involved
With”), including, without limitation, as an officer, director, employee, distributor, independent contractor, independent representative, partner, consultant, advisor, agent, proprietor, trustee or investor, any Competing Business (defined
below); provided, however, that ownership of 4.9% or less of the stock or other securities of a corporation, the stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange or otherwise publicly traded shall not constitute a breach of this
Section 5, so long as Executive does not in fact have the power to control, or direct the management of, or is not otherwise engaged in prohibited activities with, such corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may Be Involved With
an entity (including its affiliates), twenty percent (20%) or more of the business of which is not in material competition with Company but that engages in some business (“Limited Business”) substantially similar to the whole,
or at least twenty percent (20%) of the business conducted by Company, provided, however, that Executive in not personally involved in the day to day operations of the Limited Business, and the Limited Business either does not report to
Executive or, if it does, it is less than twenty percent (20%) of the business that reports to Executive, and Executive complies with Sections 5.2(c) and 5.3. The foregoing is not intended to limit Executive’s ability as an outside vendor
to provide goods or services of a non-competitive nature to any entity or person. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 5.2,
the term “Competing Business” shall mean any business or venture which is substantially similar to the whole, or any part of the business that is at least twenty percent (20%) of, the business conducted by Company (prior to any
Change in Control of Company), and which is in material competition with Company, and the term “affiliate” of any person or entity shall mean any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common
control with such particular person or entity, where “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of a person or entity whether through the ownership of voting securities,
contract, or otherwise. 
 (c) During the Non-Competition Period, Executive shall not (including without limitation on behalf
of, for the benefit of, or in conjunction with, any other person or entity) directly or indirectly, except in the good faith performance of his duties for Company: 

  
 4 

 (i) solicit, induce or otherwise encourage in any way, any employee of Company to terminate
such employee’s relationship with Company for any reason, or assist any person or entity in doing so, 
 (ii) employ,
assist, engage or otherwise contract or create any relationship with any employee or former employee of Company in any business or venture of any kind or nature, in the case of a former employee unless such person shall not have been employed by
Company for a period of at least one year and no solicitation prohibited hereby shall have occurred prior to the end of such one year period, or 
 (iii) interfere in any manner with the relationship between any employee and Company. 
  

	 	5.3	Confidential Information. 

 (a) “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary or confidential records and information, including, but not limited to, information related to Company’s relationships with
clients (such as, without limitation, pricing information, marketing plans, budgets, designs, methodologies, products, client preferences and policies, and identity of appropriate personnel of clients with sufficient authority to influence a shift
in suppliers), information related to development, marketing, purchasing, acquisitions, organizational matters, strategic matters, financial matters, managerial and administrative matters, production, distribution and sales, distribution methods,
data, specifications, technologies, methods and methodologies, and processes (including the Transferred Property as hereinafter defined) presently owned or at any time hereafter developed by Company, or its agents, consultants, or otherwise on its
behalf, or used presently or at any time hereafter in the course of the business of Company, that are not otherwise part of the public domain. 
 (b) Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to Company, or to any person or entity designated by Company, all of Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to all inventions, ideas,
methods, developments, disclosures and improvements (the “Inventions”), whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, and all trademarks, trade names, all goodwill associated therewith and all federal and state
registrations or applications thereof, made, adopted or conceived solely or jointly, in whole or in part, while an employee of Company which (i) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices sold, leased, used or under
construction or development by Company or (ii) otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, products, services, functions or operations of Company (collectively, the “Transferred Property”). Executive shall make adequate
written records of all Inventions, which records shall be Company’s property and shall communicate promptly and disclose to Company, in such forms Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned Inventions.
Whether during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, Executive shall execute and deliver to Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of Executive to permit Company, or any person or
entity designated by Company, to file and prosecute patent applications (including, but not limited to, records, memoranda or instruments deemed necessary by Company for the prosecution of the patent application or the acquisition of letters patent
in the United states, foreign counties or otherwise) and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyrights thereon, and as to trademarks, to record the transfer of ownership of any federal or state registrations or applications. 

  
 5 

 (c) All Confidential Information is considered secret and will be disclosed to Executive in
confidence, and Executive acknowledges that, as a consequence of Executive’s employment and position with Company, Executive may have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information. Except in the performance of Executive’s
duties as an employee of Company, Executive shall not, during the term and at all times thereafter, directly or indirectly for any reason whatsoever, disclose or use any such Confidential Information. All records, files, drawings, documents,
equipment and other tangible items (whether in electronic form or otherwise), wherever located, relating in any way to or containing Confidential Information, which Executive has prepared, used or encountered or shall in the future prepare, use or
encounter, shall be and remain Company’s sole and exclusive property and shall be included in the Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, or whenever requested by Company, Executive shall promptly deliver to Company any
and all of the Confidential Information and copies thereof, not previously delivered to Company, that may be in the possession or under the control of Executive. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the use, divulgence, disclosure or grant
of access to Confidential Information to the extent, but only to the extent, (i) expressly permitted or required pursuant to any other written agreement between Executive and Company, (ii) such Confidential Information has been publicly
disclosed (not due to a breach by Executive of Executive’s obligations hereunder, or by breach of any other person, of a fiduciary or confidential obligation to Company), or (iii) Executive is required to disclose Confidential Information
by or to any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority or instrumentality of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, in the case of (iii) that Executive shall, prior to any such disclosure,
immediately notify Company of such requirements and provided further, however, that Company shall have the right, at its expense, to object to such disclosures and to seek confidential treatment of any Confidential Information to be so disclosed on
such terms as it shall determine. 
  

	 	5.4	Acknowledgement; Remedies; Survival of this Agreement. 

 (a) Executive acknowledges that violation of any of the covenants and provisions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement may cause Company irreparable damage and agrees that Company’s remedies
at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 5 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement, it
is agreed that, in addition to the remedies at law or in equity, Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond, to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or
any other equitable remedy which may then be available for the purposes of restraining Executive from any actual or threatened breach of such covenants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Executive breaches Section 5.2 in any
material respect, such breach will entitle Company (i) to terminate its obligations to make further payments otherwise required under this Agreement, provided, however, that such termination shall occur only after Company has provided Executive
at least ten (10) business days notice of the circumstances of such breach and, only if such breach is curable, Executive has failed to cure such breach within such ten (10) business day period, (ii) to enjoin Executive from
disclosing any Confidential Information to any Competing Business, in the case of a breach of Section 

  
 6 

 
5.2(a) to enjoin any Competing Business from retaining Executive or using any such Confidential Information, and to enjoin Executive from rendering personal services to or in connection with any
Competing Business in violation of the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) and to seek to recover damages. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and shall not be exclusive, and Company shall be entitled to pursue all legal and
equitable rights and remedies and to secure performance of the obligations and duties of Executive under this Agreement, and the enforcement of one or more of such rights and remedies by Company shall in no way preclude Company from pursuing, at the
same time or subsequently, any and all other rights and remedies available to it. 
 (b) The provisions of this Section 5
shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with Company.
