CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT

 

This Annex B is entered into by the Company and I, Rachel Vaknin, the undersigned, as part of my employment agreement with the Company to which this Annex B is attached (the “Agreement”). Any capitalized term not defined in this Annex B shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement.

 

In addition to my undertaking under Section 4.3 of the Agreement, I hereby acknowledge, confirm and undertake to the Company as follows:

 

1.Confidentiality

 

1.1I acknowledge that in the framework and/or as a result of my employment with the Company I may (or may have) receive(d), learn(ed), be(en) expos(ed) to, obtain(ed), or have (or had) access to non-public proprietary and other confidential information relating to the Company, its business and activities, including without limitation any commercial, financial, business, professional, technical, technological information, including information regarding the Company’s (actual or planned) products, services, inventions, discoveries, studies, techniques, research and developments, processes, specifications, data, know-how, improvements, trade secrets, computer programs, software (in source and object code), databases and any intellectual property, information regarding marketing, operations, plans, activities, policies and procedures, employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, etc., including information of third parties (with respect to which the Company may have a duty of confidentiality), all whether or not marked confidential and whether disclosed in written, oral or other format (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), which is highly confidential and of great value to the Company and which may constitute professional and/or commercial secrets. For the sake of clarity, Confidential Information shall be deemed to include all notes, summaries, analyses, studies or other documents prepared by me or any other person which contain, or are based upon, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information.

 

1.2I confirm and agree that, all right, title and interest in and to all Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or the third party providing such Confidential Information to the Company, as the case may be.

 

1.3During my period of employment with the Company and thereafter (without any fixed limitation of time), I undertake to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence at all times and not to, directly or indirectly, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, communicate, publish, reveal, describe, divulge or otherwise disclose or make available any of the Confidential Information or allow its exposure or disclosure, in whole or in part, to any individual or entity, and not to use any of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the performance of my duties and obligations on behalf of the Company under the Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidential Information shall not include information that I prove using documented evidence to be (a) generally available to the public not as a result of any fault of mine or any person acting on my behalf; or (b) furnished to me prior to my association with the Company, without any obligation of confidentiality and/or use restrictions by a third party without breaching a confidential obligation.

1.4In the event that I will be required to disclose pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by applicable law or regulation any Confidential Information, I undertake that: (i) such disclosure will be made only to the extent and solely to the recipient legally required; and (ii) the Company will be provided by me with sufficient prior written notice of such legal requirement so as to have the opportunity to oppose the disclosure or obtain a protective order.

 

1.5I have not and will not improperly or wrongfully use(d) or disclose(d) any non-public proprietary information, documentation, trade secrets or other confidential information of any former employer or any previously approved concurrent employer or other person and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company or otherwise use on behalf of or to the benefit of the Company any such information belonging to any such employer, person or third party unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or third party.

 

1.6Upon the earlier of the Company’s request or upon the termination of this Agreement, I shall return to the Company any and all documents and other tangible materials containing Confidential Information and shall erase or destroy any computer or data files containing such Confidential Information, such that no copies or samples of Confidential Information shall remain with me. I agree that the Company has the right to inspect my property to reasonably ensure that no such materials remain in my possession.

 

2.Intellectual Property Rights

 

2.1Without derogating from the Company’s rights under any law and/or agreement, I confirm and agree that any and all discoveries, ideas, developments, inventions research , formulae, improvements, works of authorship, mask works, trade secrets, modifications, concepts, techniques, specifications, computer software or programs (in source and in object code), data bases, products (actual or planned), methods, technologies, know-how, designs, trademark data, processes and proprietary information, “Service Inventions” under Section 132 of the Patent Law-1967, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or otherwise protectable, (collectively, “Inventions”), which were or shall be made, invented, developed, discovered, conceived, or created by me, in whole or in part, independently or jointly with others: (i) prior to my employment with the Company for the benefit of and/or on behalf of the Company; and/or (ii) as a result of and/or during the period of my employment with the Company; and/or (iii) with the use of any equipment, supplies, facilities, property or proprietary information belonging to the Company, or any intellectual property rights therein, related thereto or associated therewith such as (but not limited to) copyrights and copyrights applications, patents and patent applications (collectively, “IP Rights”), (such Inventions and IP Rights, shall be referred to herein as “Company IP”) are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and I shall have no rights, claims or interest whatsoever in or with respect thereto, and for the removal of doubt, I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assign (and agree to assign in the future upon the vesting of any such rights in me) to the Company any and all rights title and interest, in and to any and all Company IP.

Additionally, I undertake to promptly disclose to the Company and transfer thereto any and all information and details with respect to the Company IP, to keep accurate records relating to the conception and reduction to practice of all Company IP (which records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall be surrendered to the possession of the Company, immediately upon their creation), and to provide the Company with all information, documentation, and assistance, including the preparation or execution, as applicable, of documents, declarations, assignments, drawings and other data.
