Inventions and Assignment. Executive agrees that he will promptly disclose to the Company any and all Company Inventions and that Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company all ownership rights in and to any and all Company Inventions. During Executive's employment or at any time thereafter, upon request of the Company, Executive will sign, execute and deliver any and all documents or instruments, including, without limitation, patent applications, declarations, invention assignments and copyright assignments, and will take any other action which the Company shall deem necessary to perfect in the Company trademark, copyright or patent rights with respect to Inventions, or to otherwise protect the Company's trade secrets and proprietary interests.. The term "Inventions" means discoveries; developments; trade secrets; processes; formulas; data; lists; software programs; graphics; artwork; logos, and all other works of authorship, ideas, concepts, know-how, designs, and techniques, whether or not any of the foregoing is or are patentable, copyrightable, or registrable under any intellectual property laws or industrial property laws in the United States. The term "Company Inventions" means all Inventions that # relate to the business or proposed business of the Company or any of its predecessors or that are discovered, developed, created, conceived, reduced to practice, made, learned or written by Executive, either alone or jointly with others, in the course of Executive's employment; # utilize, incorporate or otherwise relate to Confidential Information; or # are discovered, developed, created, conceived, reduced to practice, made, or written by him using property or equipment of the Company or any of its predecessors. Executive agrees to promptly and fully communicate in writing to the Company (to such department or officer of the Company and in accordance with such procedures as the Company may direct from time to time) any and all Company Inventions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any work of authorship by Executive or others comprising Company Inventions shall be deemed to be a "work made for hire," as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 (2000)). To the extent that any such work of authorship may not be deemed to be a work made for hire, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns any ownership rights Executive may have in and to such work to the Company. This Agreement does not apply to any Inventions Executive made before Executive's employment with the Company. To clearly establish Executive's rights, Executive has listed on Exhibit B any Inventions, whether or not patentable or copyrightable and whether or not reduced to practice, made by him prior to Executive's employment with the Company that are owned by Executive ("Prior Inventions"), together with the approximate dates of their creation. If no such list is attached, Executive represents that there are no Prior Inventions.

The Executive agrees that any and all discoveries, inventions, works of authorship, improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining thereto), whether or not patentable, or copyrightable, or reduced to writing (collectively, “Inventions”), which during the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive conceived or made, or conceives or makes, either alone or in conjunction with others, which are related to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its Affiliates, except for those inventions and discoveries conceived by the Executive prior to commencement of the Executive’s employment by the Company which are disclosed on [Schedule A] of this Agreement. The Executive shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company conceived during the period of the Executive’s employment. At the request of the Company and at any time during or after the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall execute any assignments or other documents the Company and its Affiliates may deem necessary to protect or perfect its rights in the Inventions, and shall assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Company’s and its Affiliates’ rights therein. The Executive hereby appoints the Company as the Executive’s attorney-in-fact to execute on the Executive’s behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions.

Patents and Inventions. Executive agrees that any Inventions made, conceived, or completed by Executive during the term of Executive's service, solely or jointly with others, which are made with the Company's equipment, supplies, facilities, or Confidential Information, or which relate at the time of conception or reduction to purpose of the Invention, to the business of the Company, or the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, or which result from any work performed by Executive for the Company, will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and all Trade Secrets, Confidential Information, copyrightable works, works of authorship, and all patents, registrations, or applications related thereto, all other intellectual property or proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable and copyrightable and whether or not reduced to tangible form or practice) which relate to the business, research and development, or existing or future products or services of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and which are conceived, developed, or made by Executive during Executive's employment with the Company ("Work Product") will be deemed to be "work made for hire" (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §101 et seq., as amended) and owned exclusively by the Company. To the extent that any Work Product is not deemed to be a "work made for hire" under applicable law, and all right, title, and interest in and to such Work Product have not automatically vested in the Company, Executive hereby # irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys, and will assign, transfer, and convey, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all right, title, and interest in and to the Work Product on a worldwide basis to the Company (or such other person or entity as the Company may designate), without further consideration; and # waives all moral rights in or to all Work Product, and to the extent such rights may not be waived, agrees not to assert such rights against the Company or its respective licensees, successors, or assigns. In order to permit the Company to claim rights to which it may be entitled, Executive agrees to promptly disclose to the Company in confidence all Work Product which Executive makes arising out of Executive's employment with the Company. Executive will assist the Company in obtaining patents on all Work Product patentable by the Company in the United States and in all foreign countries, and will execute all documents and do all things reasonably necessary to obtain letters patent, to vest the Company with full and extensive title thereto, and to protect the same against infringement by others.

Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees that during the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and for a period of 12 months following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, any and all inventions, discoveries, innovations, writings, domain names, improvements, trade secrets, designs, drawings, business processes, secret processes and know-how, whether or not patentable or a copyright or trademark, which the Executive may create, conceive, develop or make, either alone or in conjunction with others and related or in any way connected with the Company, its strategic plans, products, processes, apparatus or business now or hereafter carried on by the Company (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the Company and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company (as the Board shall determine) as against the Executive or any of the Executive’s assignees. Regardless of the status of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives hereby assigns, or shall promptly assign, to the Company any and all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions made during the term of the Executive’s employment by the Company. There are no Inventions with respect to the Company conceived of, developed or made by the Executive before the Effective Date which have not been disclosed to and assigned to the Company. The Executive further agrees that at the request of and without charge to the Company, but at the Company’s expense, the Executive shall execute a written assignment of any Inventions to the Company and shall assign to the Company any application for letters patent or for trademark registration made thereon, and to any common-law or statutory copyright therein; and the Executive shall do whatever may be necessary or desirable to enable the Company to secure any patent, trademark, copyright, or other property right therein in the United States of America and in any foreign country, and any division, renewal, continuation, or continuation in part thereof, or for any reissue of any patent issues thereon. In the event that the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, and in any event after 10 business days, to secure the Executive’s signature on a written assignment to the Company of any application for letters patent or to any common-law statutory copyright or other property right therein, whether because of the Executive’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, the Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to act on Executive’s behalf to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of such letters patent, copyright or trademark.

Executive will promptly disclose to the Company any idea, invention, discovery or improvement, whether patentable or not (“Creations”), conceived or made by him alone or with others at any time during his employment. Executive agrees that the Company owns any such Creations conceived or made by Executive alone or with others at any time during his employment, and Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company all moral or other rights he has or may acquire therein and agrees to execute any and all applications, assignments and other instruments relating thereto which the Company deems necessary or desirable. These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of his employment with respect to Creations and derivatives of such Creations conceived or made during his employment with the Company. The Company and Executive understand that the obligation to assign Creations to the Company shall not apply to any Creation which is developed entirely on his own time without using any of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or Confidential Information unless such Creation # relates in any way to the business or to the current or anticipated research or development of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities; or # results in any way from his work at the Company.

Disclosure and Assignment. Executive must immediately disclose to the Company any and all improvements and inventions that Executive has conceived or reduced to practice, or may conceive or reduce to practice, individually or jointly or commonly with others while Executive has been or is employed with the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to # any methods, processes or apparatus concerned with the development, use or production of any type of products, goods or services sold or used by the Company or its Affiliates, and # any type of products, goods or services sold or used by the Company or its Affiliates. Any such improvements and inventions will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and Executive hereby immediately assigns, transfers and sets over to the Company Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to any and all of such improvement and inventions as are specified in this Section 5(a), and in and to any and all applications for letters patent that may be filed on such inventions, and in and to any and all letters patent that may issue, or be issued, upon such applications. In connection therewith and for no additional compensation therefor, but at no expense to Executive, Executive will sign any and all instruments deemed necessary by the Company for:

Inventions, Discoveries and Improvements. Executive hereby agrees to assign and transfer to the Corporation, its successors and assigns, Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions, discoveries, trade secrets and improvements thereto which Executive may discover to develop, either solely or jointly with others, during Executive’s employment and for a period of one year after termination of such employment, which would relate in any way to the business of the Corporation, together with all rights to letters patent, copyrights or trademarks which may be granted with respect thereto. Immediately upon making or developing any invention, discovery, trade secret or improvement thereto, Executive shall notify the Corporation thereof and shall execute and deliver to the Corporation, without further compensation, such documents as may be necessary to assign and transfer to the Corporation Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to such invention, discovery, trade secret or improvement thereto, and to prepare or prosecute applications for letters patent with respect to the same in the name of the Corporation. Executive’s obligations under this Section 6 shall continue in effect, as to inventions, discoveries and improvements covered by this Section 6, notwithstanding any termination of employment or this Agreement.

Executive hereby assigns to Company all right, title and interest in and to all inventions, developments, ideas, methods, processes, designs, analyses, reports and all similar or related information (in each case whether or not patentable), all copyrightable works, all trade secrets, confidential information and know-how, and all other intellectual property rights that # are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or made by Executive during the Employment Period, and # either: # relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or # result from any work performed by Executive for the Company (“Company IP”).

Any invention, improvement, design, process, information, copyright work, computer program, trade mark, trade name or get-up, work, output or other works of authorship (collectively, “Developments”) made, created or discovered by Executive during the employment, whether capable of being patented or registered or not and whether or not made or discovered in the course of Executive’s employment, in conjunction with or in any way affecting or relating to the business of the Company Group (or its predecessors), or capable of being used or adapted for use in or in connection with such business, together with all Intellectual Property subsisting therein (the “Intellectual Property Rights”), shall be disclosed immediately to the Company and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed “work made for hire” and belong to and be the absolute property of the Company and each member of the Company Group, and Executive hereby assigns to the Company and each member of the Company Group, all such copyright, database rights, design rights, moral rights, contract and licensing rights, and any other Intellectual Property capable of assignment by way of present assignment of future rights, which may fall within the definition of the Intellectual Property Rights absolutely for the full term of those rights. If, in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive incorporates any Developments that Executive has, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of Executive’s employment with the Company or any member of the Company Group (or their predecessors) that Executive considers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to be his property (“Prior Invention”) into a Company product, process or other work done for the Company (“Company-Related Developments”), Executive hereby grants to the Company and each member of the Company Group a nonexclusive, royalty-free, paid up, irrevocable, worldwide license (with the full right to sublicense) to make, have made, modify, use, sell, offer for sale and import such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company-Related Development without the Company’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate Executive to assign to the Company or any member of the Company Group any Development which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, reasonably exercised, is developed entirely on Executive’s own time and does not relate to the business efforts or research and development efforts in which, during the period of Executive’s employment, the Company or any member of the Company Group actually is engaged or reasonably would be engaged, and does not result from the use of premises or equipment owned or leased by the Company or any member of the Company Group; provided, however, that Executive agrees that Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company any such Developments for the purpose of determining whether they qualify for such exclusion. Executive understands that, to the extent this Agreement is required to be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this Section 7(b) will be interpreted not to apply to any invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes.

Assignment of Inventions. Employee agrees that Employee will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all his right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time in which Employee is employed by the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”), except as provided in [Section 10(e)] below. Employee further acknowledges that all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of employment with the Company are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by the compensation provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, unless regulated otherwise by the mandatory law of the state of California.
