The Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove

damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Executive to return any portion of the severance payments and benefits set forth in Sections 4(a)(ii) or 5(c)(ii), as applicable, paid by the Company to the Executive.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement, the Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Non-Compete Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B or any policy or procedure of the Company, shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required or permitted by applicable law or regulation; especially with respect to a federal or state administrative agency (e.g., Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, equivalent state employment agency, Securities and Exchange Commission, etc.) and including as part of filing a charge or complaint with such federal or state administrative agency, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required or permitted by such law, regulation, or order. The Executive does not need the prior authorization of, or to provide notice to, any representative of the Company to file a charge or complaint with, or otherwise participate in an investigation or proceeding that may be commenced by, a federal or state administrative agency. With respect, specifically, to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Executive will promptly provide the General Counsel of the Company with written notice of any such order. If the Company chooses to seek a protective order or other remedy, Executive will cooperate fully with the Company. If the Company does not obtain a protective order or other

remedy or waives compliance with certain provisions of this Agreement, Executive will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will use its best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed Confidential Information. In addition, nothing in this Agreement in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede, and shall not be interpreted or understood as restricting or impeding, Executive from exercising Executive’s rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) or otherwise disclosing information as permitted by law. Nothing in this Agreement in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede, the Executive’s right to receive an award from any federal or state administrative agency for information provided under any protected whistleblower or similar program.

If the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever, including the Company’s inability after expending reasonable efforts to locate Employee or the Employee’s mental or physical incapacity, to secure Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations or other intellectual property rights (or on any document transferring ownership thereof) covering Inventions, Prior Inventions, or Creative Works assigned to the Company under this Agreement, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and in Employee’s stead to

execute and file any such applications and documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents or copyright registrations or transfers thereof with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. This appointment is coupled with an interest in and to the Inventions and Creative Works and shall survive Employee’s death or disability.

6.5.Duty to Disclose Information and Maintain Records. Employee agrees that while employed and for two (2) years following the Last Day, to promptly disclose to the Company in writing all Inventions and Creative Works authored or conceived by Employee, alone or jointly with others, along with all attempts to register, patent, or otherwise claim ownership over or alienate such Inventions and Creative Works.

9.Tolling. The Company reserves the right to request, and Employee will not object, that a court of competent jurisdiction extend the Restricted Period for any period of time that Employee is in breach of this Agreement as a form of equitable relief so that the Company receives the full benefit of Employee’s promises in the restrictive covenants.

10.Relief, Remedies and Enforcement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee will cause serious and irreparable injury to the Company that will be difficult to quantify and that money damages alone will not adequately compensate the Company.

Employee further agrees that should Employee breach this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to it, including the recovery and return of any amount paid to Employee to enter into this Agreement, the disgorgement of any profits, commissions, or fees realized by Employee, any subsequent employers, any business owned or operated by Employee, or any of Employee’s agents, heirs, or assigns.
