5.2
All patentable or copyrightable subject matter generated or developed by Employee under this Agreement shall be deemed to be work made for hire, and exclusively the Company shall upon creation, own all such copyrightable subject matter.

If an individual does own stock in a company that does business with the Company, the relationship should be disclosed upon employment and all significant business dealings with that company will be reviewed.
6.2
Discussing company information with the press without prior authorization from management is also a conflict of interest.
7.
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Employee from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise (a “Claim”) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any threatened, pending or completed Claim to which the Employee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Employee is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by the Employee in such capacity or capacities, provided that the Employee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

12.
Severability. The invalidity of any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or sections contained in this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law, and, in the event that any one or more of the words, phrases, sentences, clauses or sections contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause or clauses, or section or sections had not been inserted. If such invalidity is caused by duration, geographic scope or both, the otherwise invalid provision will be considered to be reduced to a period or area which would cure such invalidity.
