10.    No Employment Contract; Right to Terminate Employment. The grant of the Awarded Shares to the Grantee is a voluntary, discretionary award being made on a one-time basis and it does not constitute a commitment to make any future awards. The grant of the Awarded Shares and any payments made hereunder will not be considered salary or other compensation for purposes of any severance pay or similar allowance, except as otherwise required by law. Nothing in this Agreement will give the Grantee any right to continue employment or to Continuous Status as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time.

11.    Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit‑sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company.

12.    Protected Information. In consideration of the Awarded Shares, the Grantee agrees:

(a)    That all Innovations, as hereinafter defined, shall belong to and be the exclusive property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (for the purposes of this Section 12, the “Company”). “Innovations” shall mean all discoveries, developments, designs, ideas, innovations, improvements, inventions, formulas, processes, techniques, and know-how (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright, trademark or similar statutes) made, conceived, reduced to practice or learned by the Grantee either alone or jointly with another while in the employ of the Company, or disclosed to a third party by the Grantee within one (1) year of leaving its employ, that

(iii)    result from the use of premises or equipment owned, leased, or otherwise acquired by the Company.

The Grantee will promptly disclose all Innovations to the Company and will assign all of the Grantee’s right, title and interest to such Innovations, whether in the United States and any foreign country, to the Company and its successors and assigns. The Grantee will from time to time, upon request and at the expense of the Company, sign all instruments necessary for the filing and prosecution of any copyrights, patents, mask works, and applications for letters patent of the United States or any foreign country which the Company may desire to file upon such inventions without additional compensation. The Grantee will render all reasonable assistance to the Company and its agents in preparing applications and other documents and do all things that may be reasonable and necessary to protect the rights of the Company and vest in it all such inventions, discoveries, applications, and patents, even if the Grantee is no longer employed by the Company, provided that the Company compensates the Grantee at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by the Grantee on assistance occurring after termination of employment.

(b)    That the Grantee is not subject to any agreement which in any way prohibits the Grantee from rendering any services to the Company for which the Grantee is or has been employed.

financial data (together, the "Confidential Information"). The Grantee recognizes that the Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of Company, and the Company depends on the exclusive possession of Confidential Information to maintain a competitive advantage. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to maintain for all time the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and any confidential information of third parties that the Grantee receives in the course of performing the Grantee’s duties for the Company. The Grantee further agrees not to copy, use or disclose such information except in the performance of the Grantee’s authorized duties for the Company, unless permitted in writing by the President of the Company to do so.

(c)    That upon termination of employment with the Company for any reason, the Grantee will immediately deliver to the Company all drawings, blueprints, sketches, notebooks, formulae, notes, manuals and other documents reflecting Confidential Information or Innovations, and the Grantee will not retain copies of such information. During and for one year immediately following the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Grantee, either on his or her own account or for any other party, will not interfere with the business of the Company in any manner and will not engage in any activity that is designed to, would, or in fact does cause, encourage or entice any supplier, customer, employee or consultant of the Company with whom the Grantee interacted while employed with the Company to end, reduce or breach its business relationship with the Company.

The Company shall have the right to injunctive relief to restrain any actual or threatened breach of this Section 12, in addition to all of the remedies otherwise available to the Company, which shall be cumulative. The Grantee has read and understood all of the provisions in this Section 12 and agrees that they are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of the Company.
