Employee further covenants and agrees with Employer that any Work created or developed in whole or in part by Employee (whether alone or in cooperation with others) during the term of Employee's employment, even if wholly developed or created off Employer's premises, on Employee's own time, and without use of Employer's resources or Confidential Information, if related to Employer's or any of the other Companies' businesses, shall immediately be disclosed by Employee to Employer and is and shall be solely Employer's property. In all such cases, Employee agrees that Employer is the "person for whom the work was prepared" for the purposes of determining authorship of any copyright in the Work, and all of the Work shall be deemed "work made for hire" as that term is defined in Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act. In addition, all inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, know-how, names, ideas and other proprietary rights and intellectual property rights, whether or not patentable, embodied in, represented by, incorporated in, part of, or relating to any of the Work (collectively, "Other Intellectual Property Rights") are, and shall be, as between Employer and Employee, the property of solely Employer, and, so there will be no doubt, Employee hereby assigns to Employer and its successors and assigns all of Employee's right, title and interest in and to all Other Intellectual Property Rights. If, for any reason, any of the Work is determined not to be a "work made for hire" under U.S. law or the law of any other jurisdiction, Employee agrees to assign, and does hereby assign, to Employer and its successors and assigns all of Employee's right, title and interest in and to all copyrights in all of the Work. Employee shall execute and deliver to Employer from time to time upon Employer's request such confirmatory assignments, instruments and other documents so as to evidence and confirm full record and beneficial ownership of Employer in all such Work. Employee hereby irrevocably appoints Employer as Employee's attorney-in-fact for the purpose of signing and delivering such assignments, instruments and other documents, such appointment being coupled with an interest. "Work" does not include works or inventions which do not relate to Employer's business and are wholly created or developed by Employee off Employer's premises, on Employee's own time and without use of Employer's resources or Confidential Information.
