During the term of my employment or engagement as independent contractor and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than the COMPANY personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the COMPANY), use or publish, except in connection with my work for the COMPANY, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized in writing by an authorized officer or manager of the COMPANY prior to such disclosure, use or publication.
1.4 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment or engagement as independent contractor by the COMPANY I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the COMPANY any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person. In the performance of my duties I will use only information which is generally known and used by persons with general skills, knowledge and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided by the COMPANY.

2. ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.
2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term "Proprietary Rights" shall mean all trade secret, patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.
2.2 Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, registered or unregistered, which I made, conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto a complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties (except to the extent that I have assigned all my right, title and interest in such invention to a former employer) and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as "Prior Inventions"). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Item 1 of Exhibit A but am only to disclose, in Item 2 of Exhibit A, a cursory name for each such invention and the party to whom the duty of confidentiality is owed. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY, I incorporate a Prior Invention which I own or have the right to license into the COMPANY product, process or machine (or use such Prior Invention to create a COMPANY product, process or machine), the COMPANY is hereby granted a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any the COMPANY Inventions (or use such Prior Invention to create a COMPANY product, process or machine) without the COMPANY’s prior written consent.
2.3 Assignment of Inventions. To the extent that the COMPANY is not considered the original author pursuant to Section 2.6 or as a matter of law, I hereby assign to the COMPANY or, at the COMPANY’s discretion, to a third party pursuant to Section 2.5, all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto), whether or not patentable, conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY that (i) relate to the actual or anticipated business, activities, products, services, or research of the COMPANY, (ii) result from or is suggested by work performed by me for the COMPANY (whether or not conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice during normal working hours or on the premises of the COMPANY), or (iii) result, to any extent, from use of the COMPANY’s premises or property (the “COMPANY Inventions").
2.4 Obligation to Keep THE COMPANY Informed. During the period of my employment or engagement as independent contractor and for twelve (12) months after termination of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY, I will promptly disclose to the COMPANY, fully and in writing all Inventions conceived, developed, authored or first reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others (except to the extent that such disclosure would violate any confidentiality agreement executed subsequent to the termination of my employment or engagement as independent contractor). In addition, I will promptly disclose to the COMPANY all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment or engagement as independent contractor.
2.5 Government or Third Party. As and to the extent directed by the COMPANY, I hereby assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular COMPANY Invention to any third party designated by the COMPANY.
B-2 |
2.6 Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all the COMPANY Inventions that are or contain original works of authorship which were heretofore or are to be made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment or engagement as independent contractor and which are protectable by copyright are "works made for hire," pursuant to United States Copyright Act as amended (17 U.S.C., Section 101) as to which the COMPANY is to be considered as the author thereof for all purposes. I acknowledge that this provision is included solely for the purpose of determining ownership of COMPANY Inventions, and nothing herein shall be construed to alter my classification as an independent contractor or employee, as applicable, of the COMPANY.
2.7 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the COMPANY in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, Proprietary Rights relating to the COMPANY Inventions in any and all countries. To that end, I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the COMPANY may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and any assignment thereof to the COMPANY. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the COMPANY’s request, I will execute, verify and deliver one or more separate forms of assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the COMPANY or its designee. My obligation to assist the COMPANY with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such COMPANY Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment or engagement as independent contractor with the COMPANY, but the COMPANY shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for documented out-of-pocket expenses and for the time actually spent by me at the COMPANY’s request on such assistance. In the event the COMPANY is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the COMPANY and its duly authorized officers or managers as my agent and attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the COMPANY any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement or other violation of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the COMPANY, and waive any and all rights to be attributed as the author or creator of any COMPANY Invention, and any "droit moral" or similar rights regarding the use or integrity of any COMPANY Invention, as may now or hereafter exist under any applicable law.
3. RECORDS; THE COMPANY DOCUMENTS.
3.1 I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the COMPANY) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all COMPANY Inventions made by me during the period of my employment or engagement as an independent contractor at the COMPANY, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the COMPANY at all times.
3.2 I agree that any property situated on the COMPANY’s premises and owned by the COMPANY, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by the COMPANY personnel at any time with or without notice.
3.3 Upon termination of employment or engagement as an independent contractor with the COMPANY, I will deliver to the COMPANY any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing or describing any COMPANY Inventions or Proprietary Information. I also agree to cooperate with the COMPANY in completing and signing prior to leaving the employment or engagement as an independent contractor of the COMPANY, the COMPANY’s then standard termination statement that, among other things, reaffirms my obligations, acknowledgments, agreements and representations set forth herein. In the event of the termination of the Relationship, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certificate” attached hereto as Appendix A.
B-3 |
4. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES.
I agree that for the period of my employment or engagement as an independent contractor with the COMPANY, as applicable, and for one (1) year after the date of termination of such employment or engagement, as applicable, for any reason whatsoever, I will not, either for myself or any other person or entity, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or lure away (or attempt to solicit or lure away) any customers, licensors, licensees, or vendors of the COMPANY who were serviced by me or whose names became known to me while I was employed or engaged with the COMPANY; or (ii) induce any employee, vendor, licensee, licensor or contractor of the COMPANY to leave the employ or engagement as an independent contractor of the COMPANY or to alter their relationship with the COMPANY.
5. NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION.
I represent and warrant that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement as an employee or independent contractor of the COMPANY does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me prior to my employment or engagement as an independent contractor by the COMPANY. I have not entered into, and I agree that I will not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with my obligations under this Agreement. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the COMPANY from any loss, claim, damage, costs or expenses of any kind (including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) to which the COMPANY may be subjected by virtue of my breaching any of my representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement.
6. LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.
I hereby agree that because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the COMPANY, the COMPANY shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the COMPANY may have for a breach of this Agreement. To the extent that I breach this Agreement with respect to any Third Party Information, I acknowledge that such third party may be assigned the COMPANY’s right to enforce this Agreement.
7. NOTICES.
Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.
8. NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER.
In the event that I leave the employ or engagement as an independent contractor of the COMPANY, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer or other person that engages me of my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
9.1 Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California for any lawsuit filed there against me by the COMPANY arising from or related to this Agreement.
9.2 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing such provision, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under the applicable law as then in effect.
9.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the COMPANY, its successors, and its assigns.
9.4 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment or engagement as an independent contractor and the assignment of this Agreement by the COMPANY to any successor in interest or other assignee.
9.5 Employment/Engagement. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment or engagement as an independent contractor, as applicable, by the COMPANY, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the COMPANY’s right to terminate such employment or engagement, as applicable, at any time, with or without cause.
9.6 Waiver. No waiver by the COMPANY of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the COMPANY of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The COMPANY shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.
9.7 Nonassignable Inventions. This Agreement does not apply to an Invention which qualifies fully as a nonassignable Invention under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter "Section 2870"). I have reviewed the notification on Exhibit B (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agree that my signature acknowledges receipt of the notification.
9.8 Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed or engaged, or am in the future employed or engaged, by the COMPANY as an employee, consultant or otherwise, if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of Inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the amendment or modification is to be enforced to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

9.9 Review of Agreement. I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to seek legal advice prior to signing this Agreement and have either done so or waive the right to do so. I have read this Agreement, including Exhibit B hereto, carefully and understand its terms. I have completely filled out Exhibits A and B to this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be effective as of March 19, 2019.

Limited Exclusion Notification
This is to notify you in accordance with Section 2872 of the California Labor Code that the foregoing Agreement between you and the COMPANY does not require you to assign or offer to assign to the COMPANY any invention that you developed entirely on your own time without using the COMPANY’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those Inventions that either:

business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the COMPANY; |
