Developer agrees the above transfer of Technology includes the agreement by Developer to transfer to the Company all of Developer’s right, title and interest to any Technology which is developed after January 22, 2007 and Developer expressly acknowledges and agrees (1) that the Company shall have the same rights to such Tecnology as if such Technology was existing and transferred as of January 22, 2007 and (2) that Developer shall have no rights to such Technology except to the extent such rights are expressly provided for herein.
2. | Consideration |
In exchange for the assignment of the Technology by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will issue to Developer shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the provisions of a Founders Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Developer. The Company's willingness to sell to the Developer shares of common stock at founder's prices shall be the only consideration required of the Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
3. | Further Assurances; Moral Rights; Competition; Marketing |
3.1 Developer agrees to assist the Company in every legal way to evidence, record and perfect the Section 1 assignment and to apply for and obtain recordation of and from time to time enforce, maintain, and defend the assigned rights. If the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure the Developer's signature to any document it is entitled to under this Section 3.1, Developer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents, as his agents and attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to act for and on his behalf and instead of Developer, to execute and file any such document or documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Developer.
3.2 To the extent allowed by law, Section 1 includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights," "artist's rights," "droit moral" or the like (collectively "Moral Rights"). To the extent Developer retains any such Moral Rights under applicable law, Developer hereby ratifies and consents to, and provides all necessary ratifications and consents to, any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company; Developer agrees not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. Developer will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.
4. | Confidential Information |
Developer will not use or disclose anything assigned to the Company hereunder or any other technical or business information or plans of the Company, except to the extent Developer (i) can document that it is generally available (through no fault of Developer) for use and disclosure by the public without any charge, license or restriction, or (ii) is permitted to use or disclose such information or plans pursuant to the Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement by and between Developer and the Company of even date herewith. Developer recognizes and agrees that there is no adequate remedy at law for a breach of this Section 4, that such a breach would irreparably harm the Company and that the Company is entitled to equitable relief (including, without limitations, injunctions) with respect to any such breach or potential breach in addition to any other remedies.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any privilege, any power or any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of any other right hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
