(i) solicit or hire, or attempt to recruit, persuade, solicit or hire, any employee, or independent contractor of, or consultant to, the Company, or its Affiliates, to leave the employment (or independent contractor relationship) thereof, whether or not any such employee or independent contractor is party to an employment agreement; or
招揽、雇佣或试图招募、劝说、招揽或雇佣本公司或其关联公司的任何员工、独立承包商或顾问离开本公司或其关联公司的雇佣关系(或独立承包商关系),无论该等员工或独立承包商是否是雇佣协议的一方;或
(ii) attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any customer or client of the Company or any of its Affiliates, with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates had significant contact during the term of this Agreement, business of the kind or competitive with the business done by the Company or any of its Affiliates with such customer or to persuade or attempt to persuade any such customer to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which such customer has customarily done or is reasonably expected to do with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if any such customer elects to move its business to a person other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, provide any services (of the kind or competitive with the Business of the Company or any of its Affiliates) for such customer, or have any discussions regarding any such service with such customer, on behalf of such other person.

(c) The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by the Executive of his obligations under this Section will cause irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult to quantify and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation, without the necessity of posting a bond.
CEO认识到并同意,由于CEO违反其在本条项下的义务,将对公司造成难以量化且金钱损害不足以弥补的不可弥补的损害,公司应有权获得禁令救济,以防止或限制任何此类违反行为,而无需缴纳保证金。
(d) The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and scope of the covenant not to compete are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist at the date upon which this Agreement has been executed. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention of the Executive, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, that the covenant not to compete shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of the Executive which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and necessary to assure the Company of the intended benefit of the covenant not to compete. CEO明确同意,根据本协议签署之日存在的情况,不竞争契约的性质、期限和范围是合理的。然而,如果有管辖权的法院在以后作出决定,认为不竞争契约的性质、期限或地域范围根据当时存在的情况是不合理的,那么高管一方和公司一方的意图是,不竞争契约应由法院解释为只对CEO的行为施加限制,而这些限制在当时的情况下是合理的,并且是确保公司从不竞争契约中获得预期利益所必需的。
9. Inventions and Patents. The Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, know-how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which related to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by the Executive during the Executive’s past or future employment by the Company or any Affiliates, or any predecessor thereof (“Work Product”), belong to the Company, or its Affiliates, as applicable. Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” and ownership of all right title and interest shall rest in the Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the full extent permitted by law, all right, title and interest in the Work Product, on a worldwide basis, to the Company to the extent ownership of any such rights does not automatically vest in the Company under applicable law. The Executive will promptly disclose any such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or after employment) to establish and confirm ownership of such Work Product by the Company (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).
发明和专利:CEO承认,所有与本公司任何实际或拟议的业务活动有关的、被创造、设计或构思的发明、创新、改进、专有技术、计划、开发、方法、设计、分析、规格、软件、图纸、报告和所有类似或相关信息(无论是否可申请专利或简化为实践),CEO在过去或未来受雇于本公司或任何关联公司或其前身(“工作产品”)期间开发或制作的,属于本公司或其关联公司(视情况而定)。在工作成果定义范围内的任何有版权的作品均应被视为“雇佣作品”,所有权利、所有权和利益的所有权属于公司。在法律允许的范围内,CEO在此不可撤销地将工作成果的所有权利、所有权和利益在全球范围内转让、转让和转让给本公司,但任何此类权利的所有权在适用法律下不自动归属于本公司。CEO将立即向公司披露任何该等工作成果,并执行公司要求的所有行动(无论是在受雇期间还是受雇后),以确立和确认公司对该等工作成果的所有权(包括但不限于转让、同意、授权书和其他文书)。
11
