c. No Conflict. Executive represents and warrants that Executive’s execution of this Agreement and performance of Services under this Agreement will not violate any obligations Executive may have to any other employer, person or entity, including any obligations to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to becoming an employee of the Company.

In the event that any compensation that becomes payable to Executive pursuant to Section 2 or this Section 4 qualifies as a deferral of compensation within the meaning of and subject to 409A, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) such compensation shall be paid to Executive only in the event of Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of 409A (“Separation from Service”) and (ii) payment of that compensation shall be delayed if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and such delayed payment is required by 409A.

On the Company’s first payroll date that occurs after the end of such six-month period, the Company shall make a catch-up payment to Executive equal to the total amount of such payments that would have been made during the six-month period but for this Section 4(h). To the extent applicable, each and every payment to be made pursuant to Section 2(b), 2(c), 2(f), 4(b) or 4(e) shall be treated as a separate payment and not as one of a series of payments treated as a single payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

F. In order to permit Employer to claim rights to which it may be entitled, Employee agrees to disclose to Employer in confidence (1) all inventions that Employee makes, either solely or jointly with others, during the term of his employment, and (2) all patent applications filed by Employee during his employment with the Company. Employee also agrees to submit to a reasonable and confidential review process under which Employer may determine such as issues may arise under this Agreement.

G. Employee shall assist Employer in obtaining patents or copyrights on all inventions, designs, improvements, and discoveries deemed patentable or copyrightable by Employer in the United States and in all foreign countries, and shall execute all documents and do all things necessary to obtain letters of patent, to vest Employer with full and extensive titles to those patents, and to protect the same against infringement by others, from, during and after the termination of this Agreement. In the event that assistance of the employee is needed after the termination of this Agreement, Employee will be paid for that assistance at the hourly rate he earned when this Agreement terminated.

H. For the purpose of this Agreement, an invention is deemed to have been made during the Employee’s period of employment if the invention was conceived or actually first reduced to practice during that period.

D. Employee will not disclose and has not disclosed to Employer and will not use or induce Employer to use any proprietary information or Trade Secrets of others. Employee represents and warrants that Employee has returned all property and confidential or trade secret information belonging to others and is not in possession of any documents or data containing such confidential or trade secret information.

E. Employee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Employer and its officers, directors and employees from any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses or liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with or resulting from any breach or default of the representations and warranties contained in this paragraph.

10. Termination of Employment.

A. Employee’s employment with Employer is at will and Employee’s employment and compensation can be terminated or modified in any way, with or without cause, with or without notice, at any time, subject to the rights and obligations set forth in that certain Employment Agreement between Employer and Employee dated as of October 1, 2013.

B. If Employee’s employment with Employer is terminated for any reason, Employee shall promptly deliver and without request:

(i) Inform Employer of and deliver to Employer all documents and data pertaining to Employee’s employment and the Confidential Information/Trade Secrets, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession or control; and

(ii) Sign the Termination Certificate in Exhibit “C.” Employee shall not retain any written or other tangible material containing any information concerning or disclosing any Confidential Information/Trade Secrets.

11. Injunctive Relief. Employee agrees that breach of the restrictive covenants in this Agreement will irreparably harm Employer for which Employer may not have an adequate remedy at law. As such, Employee agrees that Employer shall be entitled to any proper injunction, including but not limited to temporary, preliminary, final injunctions, temporary restraining orders, and temporary protective orders, to enforce said covenants in the event of breach or threatened breach by Employee, in addition to any other remedies available to Employer at law or in equity. The Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition, and Non-Recruiting restrictive covenants contained in this agreement are independent of any other obligations between the parties, and the existence of any other claim or cause of action against Employer is not a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.

12. Waiver. No waiver by Employer of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by Employer of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right.

13. Tolling and Suspension. In the event of a breach by Employee of any restrictive covenant contained in this Agreement, the running of the period of restriction shall automatically be tolled and suspended for the amount of time the breach continues, and shall automatically commence when the breach is remedied so that Employer shall receive the benefit of Employee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

14. Confidential Information of Others. Employee will not use, disclose to Employer or induce Employer to use any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or material belonging to others which comes into Employee’s knowledge or possession at any time, nor will Employee use any such information or material in the course of my employment with Employer, and Employee will not ask any applicant, employee or other person to engage in such activities, absent written authorization from the third-party that owns the information and Employer. Except as disclosed to Employer in writing, Employee has no other agreements or relationships with or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict with Employee’s obligations to Employer as an employee of Employer or under this Agreement, and Employee represents that Employee’s employment will not require Employee to violate any obligation to or confidence with another. In the event Employee believes that Employee’s work for Employer would make it difficult for Employee not to disclose to Employer any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or materials belonging to others, Employee will immediately inform Employee’s supervisor. Employee has not entered into, and Employee agrees Employee will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict with this Agreement.

15. This is the entire agreement between Employer and Employee regarding confidentiality of Employer’s Confidential Information/Trade Secrets and this agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements regarding these issues. The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. This Agreement consists of a series of separate covenants. If any separate covenant, word or provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable it may be severed from this Agreement with the remainder of the Agreement remaining in full force and effect.
