- 6 - 

(c) Except as set forth in the NOTICE below, all Inventions which Executive conceives, develops or first actually reduces to practice either alone or with others during the Term of this Agreement shall be the exclusive property of the Company. Executive will disclose all such Inventions to the Company promptly and in writing and will comply with applicable Company procedures, if any, or as otherwise requested of Executive by the Company. When requested, and at the Company’s expense, Executive will assist the Company in efforts to protect such Inventions, including without limitation by taking any of the following actions:

(i) making application for a patent on any such Invention specified by the Company;

(ii) executing documents of assignment to the Company of all his right, title and interest in and to any such Inventions, all patent applications relating thereto, and all patents granted thereon; and (iii)from time to time, at the request of the Company, executing all instruments and rendering all such assistance as may reasonably be required in order to protect the rights of the Company and to vest in the Company all rights to any such Invention, patent application, and patent.

Each of Executive’s duties specified in this paragraph (c) shall survive termination of his employment to the extent such duties relate to Inventions made or conceived by him during his employment.

(d) The Company will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether an application for a patent will be filed on any Invention which is the exclusive property of the Company, as set forth above, and whether such an application will be abandoned prior to issuance of a patent.

NOTICE: This Agreement does not apply to any Invention: (i) for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used, which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, and (ii) which does not relate directly to the business of the Company or to Executive’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development.

15.         Remedies. Executive recognizes the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the Company’s business is involved and acknowledges that his services to the Company will be special and unique; his work for the Company will allow him access to the Company’s highly proprietary and confidential information; the Company’s business is conducted throughout the world; the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 13 and 14 hereof; and the agreements and covenants in Sections 13 and 14 are essential to protect the business and goodwill of the Company. Executive understands and agrees that the Company will be irreparably damaged in the event that Sections 13 and 14 of this Agreement are violated and that such restrictions are necessary to protect the business and interests of the Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that a remedy at law for any breach of such covenants would be inadequate. Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity) to a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction to redress actual or threatened breaches of said Sections 13 and 14 and specifically to enforce the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of proving actual damage, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other or additional judicial remedies available to it for any actual or threatened breach, including monetary damages or other remedies.

Accordingly, in the event that any such restriction or provision shall be found to be void or invalid but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, such restriction or provisions shall apply with such modification as shall be necessary to make it valid and effective.

26.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and both of which together shall be one (1) and the same agreement.
