Incorporation of Software Code. I agree that I will not incorporate into any Company software or otherwise deliver to Company any software code licensed under the GNU General Public License or Lesser General Public License or any other license that, by its terms, requires or conditions the use or distribution of such code on the disclosure, licensing, or distribution of any source code owned or licensed by Company except in strict compliance with Company’s policies regarding the use of such software. 10. No License. I understand that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant me any license or right of any nature with respect to information made available to me by the Company, including any Company Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights. 11. Return of Information. Prior to leaving employment with the Company or upon Company’s request at any time during the my employment, I agree to promptly (i) deliver, provide, or return to the Company the original and all copies of any and all Confidential Information that I may have obtained, as well as any and all documents, records, property, files, drawings, tapes, plans, tools, and equipment that are in the my possession or control and that are Company’s property; and (ii) delete or destroy all copies of any
Confidential Information, documents, and materials not returned to the Company that remain in my possession or control, including those stored on any non‐Company devices, networks, storage locations, and media in my possession or control. 12. General Provisions. a. Representations and Acknowledgements. I represent that I have not entered into, and agree not to enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict with this Agreement. I agree and acknowledge that all restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable under the circumstances of my employment and hereby waive any argument that this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable. b. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions, subsections, or sentences contained in this Agreement are, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Agreement. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it will be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law. c. Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Arizona. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona for any lawsuit filed arising from or related to this Agreement. d. Waiver. The waiver by Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by me shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by me. Company will not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement. e. Legal and Equitable Remedies. I agree that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by my breach of this Agreement or any of its terms. I agree that any threatened or actual breach of this Agreement or any of its terms will cause immediate and irreparable injury to Company, and Company will have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. f. Attorney Fees and Costs. In the event of a legal action or other proceeding arising under this Agreement, or a dispute regarding any alleged breach, default, claim, or misrepresentation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether or not a lawsuit or other proceeding is commenced, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and costs, whether incurred before suit, during suit, or at the appellate level. The prevailing party shall also be entitled to recover any attorney fees and costs incurred in litigating the entitlement to attorney fees and costs, as well as determining or quantifying the amount of attorney fees and costs due to it. g. Assignment. The Company may assign this Agreement to any subsidiary, affiliate, or successor. I agree that I may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by me shall be null and void from the initial date of purported assignment. h. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents my entire understanding with the Company with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that I acknowledge that I have also entered into a Non‐Disclosure, Non‐Solicitation and Non‐Competition Agreement with Company, which shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of both me and Company. No oral waiver, amendment, or modification shall be effective under any circumstances whatsoever.
