<U><LI>Ideas, Inventions</U>. The Employee recognizes and agrees that all ideas, inventions, enhancements, plans, writings, and other developments or improvements (the "<B>Inventions</B>") conceived by the Employee, alone or with others, during the term of his employment, whether or not during working hours, that are within the scope of the Company's business operations or that relate to any of the Company's work or projects, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Employee further agrees that (1)&nbsp;he will promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company and hereby assigns to the Company all present and future rights he has or may have in those Inventions, including without limitation those relating to patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets; and (2) all of the Inventions eligible under the copyright laws are "work made for hire." At the request of and without charge to the Company, the Employee will do all things deemed by the Company to be reasonably necessary to perfect title to the Inventions in the Company and to assist in obtaining for the Company such patents, copyrights or other protection as may be provided under law and desired by the Company, including but not limited to executing and signing any and all relevant applications, assignments or other instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby notifies the Employee that the provisions of this Section 2)c) shall not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which were developed entirely on the Employee's own time, unless (1)&nbsp;the Invention relates (i)&nbsp;to the business of the Company, or (ii)&nbsp;to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or (2)&nbsp;the Invention results from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.</LI>

<U><LI>Injunction</U>. Employee agrees that it would be difficult to measure damage to the Company from any breach by Employee of Section 2)a), 2)b), 2)c), 2)d) or 2)e) and that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, Employee agrees that if Employee shall breach or take steps preliminary to breaching Section 2)a), 2)b), 2)c), 2)d) or 2)e), the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have at law or in equity, to an injunction or other appropriate orders to restrain any such breach, without showing or proving any actual damage sustained by the Company.</LI>
<U><LI>Injunction</U>. <U>No Release</U>. Employee agrees that the termination of employment with the Company or the expiration of the term of this Agreement shall not release Employee from any obligations under Section 2)a), 2)b), 2)c), 2)d), 2)e) 2)f) or 2)g).</LI>
<U><LI>Enforceability; Severability of Covenants</U><B><I>.</B></I> For purposes of Sections 2)a) and 2)b) above, the covenants in such sections shall be construed as separate and distinct covenants. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds any of such covenants to be so overbroad as to be unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that such covenant be reduced in scope by the court, but only to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render the covenant reasonable and enforceable, keeping in mind that it is the intent of the parties to give the Company the broadest lawful protection.
