For purposes of this Settlement Agreement only, the Settling Entity stipulates that the Superior Court of California shall have personal jurisdiction over it for the limited and sole purpose of an action to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement, brought without joinder of other claims.

Interpretation and Enforcement; Governing Law This Agreement and its interpretation and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be performed entirely within this state and without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed by an authority of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law to effect the Parties’ intentions hereunder, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Neither the failure to insist upon strict compliance with Agreement nor any course of conduct, including without limitation failure on any Party’s part to exercise or delay in exercising any rights, shall constitute a waiver by such Party of any of its rights hereunder. No single or partial exercise by any Party of any right shall preclude any other or future exercise by any Party of any such right or the exercises by such Party of any other single or partial right. Any waiver by any party must be in writing and signed by such Party and shall be effective only for the purpose and in the specific instance for which it is given.
Interpretation and Enforcement (a) The benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns and to the indemnified parties hereunder and their respective successors and assigns and representatives, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement by the parties hereto shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Each of the Company and Consultant (and, to the extent permitted by law, on behalf of their respective equity holders and creditors) hereby knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Consultant hereby certify that no representative or agent of the other party has represented expressly or otherwise that such party would not seek to enforce the provisions of this waiver. Further, each of the Company and Consultant acknowledges that each party has been induced to enter this Agreement by, inter alia, the provisions of this Section.
(c) If it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable provision or term shall be replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
(d) This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understanding relating to the matters provided for herein. No alteration, waiver, amendment, change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
(e) This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, rights enforceable by any person or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled thereto by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that with respect to the services to be rendered by Consultant, Consultant is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement and the retention of Consultant hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived. The Company also agrees that Consultant shall not have any liability (including without limitation, liability for losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from any act or omission of Consultant, whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company or to any person (including, without limitation, equity holders and creditors of the Company) claiming through the Company for or in connection with the engagement of Consultant, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for liabilities which arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant. The Company acknowledges that Consultant was induced to enter into this Agreement by, INTER ALIA, the provisions of this Section.
Severability; Enforcement If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other persons, places, and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.
Audits, Inspection and Enforcement Within ten (10) days of a request by CE, BA and its agents and subcontractors shall allow CE or its agents or subcontractors to conduct a reasonable inspection of the facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures relating to the use or disclosure of Protected Information pursuant to this Addendum for the purpose of determining whether BA has complied with this Addendum or maintains adequate security safeguards; provided, however, that (i) BA and CE shall mutually agree in advance upon the scope, timing, and location of such an inspection, (ii) CE shall protect the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of BA to which CE has access during the course of such inspection; and (iii) CE shall execute a nondisclosure agreement, upon terms mutually agreed upon by the parties, if requested by BA. The fact that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect, BA’s facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies, and procedures does not relieve BA of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE’s (i) failure to detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify BA or require BA’s remediation of any unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE’s enforcement rights under the Contract or Addendum. BA shall notify CE within five (5) days of learning that BA has become the subject of an audit, compliance review, or complaint investigation by the Office of Civil Rights or other state or federal government entity.
ENFORCEMENT AND GOVERNING LAW The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as divisible and separate; if any of said provisions should be declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be construed and the legal relations of the parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to the law regarding conflicts of law.
Remedies and Enforcement Secured Party shall have and may exercise any and all rights of enforcement and remedies afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in force in the State of Michigan, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on the date of this Stock Pledge or the date of Company's default together with any and all other rights and remedies otherwise provided and available to Secured Party by law unless such application would result in the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof, in which case the law of the state in which any of the Collateral is located shall apply to the extent necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable; and, in conjunction with, in addition to, or substitution for those rights, at Secured Party's discretion, Secured Party may:
(1) Apply any of the Collateral against any of the Indebtedness secured hereby;
(2) Waive any default, or remedy any default in any reasonable manner, without waiving its rights and remedies upon default and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default;

I have read and accept this employment offer: /s/ Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Signature of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Dated: May 8, 2008 Exhibit A: Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that Marketo, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and I (Xxxxxxx Xxxxx) have had since the commencement of my employment with the Company in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Company:
1. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with Company. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Company in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.
2. Company shall own all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, sui generis database rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with Company to and only to the fullest extent allowed by California Labor Code Section 2870 (which is attached as Appendix A) (collectively “Inventions”) and I will promptly disclose all Inventions to Company. I will also disclose anything I believe is excluded by Section 2870 so that the Company can make an independent assessment. I hereby make all assignments necessary to accomplish the foregoing. I shall further assist Company, at Company’s expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my employment that relates to Company’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of the foregoing assignment, I have listed it on Appendix B in a manner that does not violate any third party rights. Without limiting Section 1 or Company’s other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company, I use or (except pursuant to this Section 2) disclose my own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Company will have and I hereby grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights.
3. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.
4. I agree that all Inventions and all other business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment that relate to Company or the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute “Proprietary Information.” I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon termination of my employment, I will promptly return to Company all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to shareholders generally and (iii) this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.
5. Until one year after the term of my employment, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of Company to leave Company for any reason (except for the bona fide firing of Company personnel within the scope of my employment).
6. I agree that during the term of my employment with Company (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company, and I will not assist any other person or organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company.
7. I agree that this Agreement is not an employment contract for any particular term and that I have the right to resign and Company has the right to terminate my employment at will, at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause. In addition, this Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Company, I have obligations to Company which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any inconsistent terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by the President of Company.
8. I agree that my obligations under paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and that Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of Company, it subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

If any provision of this Contract or any application of this Contract to the School is found contrary to law, such provision or application will have effect only to the extent permitted by law.
