Further, as a condition of employment, during the time Employee is employed by the Company and continuing after any termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee agrees to protect and hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all Confidential Information, as defined below, unless the Employee is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or a governmental authority.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information shall not include information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Employee.

(b) The Employee shall promptly notify the Company if he or she has reason to believe that the unauthorized use, possession, or disclosure of any Confidential Information has occurred or may occur.

The Employee further agrees to return copies of any Confidential Information contained on Employee’s home computer, portable computer or other similar device. Employee also agrees to allow the Company, upon reasonable notice and for just cause, access to any home computer, portable computer or other similar device maintained by Employee, including but not limited to, for the purpose of determining whether said Confidential Information has been misappropriated. The Employee further agrees to promptly return all other property belonging to the Company upon the termination of Employee’s employment.

2. Ownership of Works for Hire.

The Employee will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all such Works for Hire. The Company shall own all rights to any Works for Hire, including all copyrights and the right to market (or not to market) any such property, and the Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his or her right, title and interest in and to all Works for Hire and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications.

(b) The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after his or her employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights and patents (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Works for Hire. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignment of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Works for Hire.

7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and may not be modified except in a written

document signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other breach of that or any other provision hereof.
