Executive agrees that any material breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Article V may cause irreparable harm to the Company that could not be made whole by monetary damages and that, in the event of such a breach, the breaching party shall waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate, and the other party shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Article V without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or providing prior notice, in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy such party may obtain through arbitration in accordance with Section 6.06.

SECTION 5.11. Proprietary Rights.

(a) Work Product. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and interest in and to all writings, works of authorship, technology, inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, materials, and all other work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived, or reduced to practice by Executive individually or jointly with others during Executive’s employment with or other service to the Company and that specifically relate to the Business or specifically result from work performed by Executive for the Company, all rights and claims related to the foregoing, and all printed, physical and electronic copies, and other tangible embodiments thereof (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as any and all rights relating thereto in and to U.S. and non-U.S. (i) patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not), (ii) trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names, and domain names, and other similar designations of source or origin, together with the goodwill symbolized by any of the foregoing, (iii) copyrights and copyrightable works (including computer programs), mask works, and rights in data and databases, (iv) trade secrets, know-how, and other confidential information, and (v) all other intellectual property rights relating thereto, in each case whether registered or unregistered and including all registrations and applications for, and renewals and extensions of, such rights, all improvements thereto and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection in any part of the world (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Work Product” may include, but is not limited to, Company information, including plans, publications, research, strategies, techniques, agreements, documents, contracts, terms of agreements, negotiations, know-how, computer programs, computer applications, software design, web design, work in process, databases, manuals, results, developments, reports, graphics, drawings, sketches, market studies, formulae, notes, communications, algorithms, product plans, product designs, styles, models, audiovisual programs, inventions, unpublished patent applications, original works of authorship, discoveries, experimental processes, experimental results, specifications, customer information, client information, customer lists, client lists, manufacturing information, marketing information, advertising information, and sales information.

(b) Work Made for Hire; Assignment. Executive acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by the Company at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is “work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 and such copyrights are therefore owned by the Company. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional consideration, Executive’s entire right, title, and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to xxx, counterclaim, and recover for all past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s rights, title, or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights therein so as to be less in any respect than that the Company would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

(c) Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. During and after the Term, Executive agrees, upon reasonable request and subject to such reasonable conditions as Executive may reasonably establish, to cooperate with the Company to (i) apply for, obtain, perfect, and transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as any and all Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (ii) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation, giving testimony and executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments, and other documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. Executive hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on Executive’s behalf in Executive’s name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, prosecution, issuance, and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if Executive does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by Executive’s subsequent incapacity.

(d) No License. Executive understands that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant Executive any license or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product, Intellectual Property Rights therein, software, or other tools made available to Executive by the Company.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 5.10 with respect to certain claims for injunctive relief, any dispute or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement, Executive’s employment hereunder or any termination thereof (whether based on contract or tort or upon any U.S. federal, state or local statute or any non-U.S. statute) shall be submitted to the Dubai International Financial Centre – London Court of International Arbitration (“DIFC-LCIA”) and resolved through confidential arbitration in accordance with the rules of the DIFC-LCIA.

If at the time any dispute or controversy arises with respect to this Agreement, DIFC-LCIA is not in business or is no longer providing arbitration services, then the parties hereto shall select another internationally-recognized arbitral institution based in Dubai; provided that the selection of such arbitral institution shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

SECTION 6.07. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provision, covenant or condition shall, as to such jurisdiction, be modified or restricted to the extent necessary to make such provision valid, binding and enforceable, or, if such provision cannot be modified or restricted, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed to be excised from this Agreement and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability with respect to such provision shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

SECTION 6.08. Survival. The rights and obligations of the Company and Executive under the provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 1.02, 3.03 and 3.04 and Articles IV, V and VI, shall survive and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding any termination of the Term, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts, and to provide the benefits, hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company.
