(C) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; provided, however, a Competitive Business shall not include a Permitted Company, or

Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all the Company Inventions made by Executive (solely or jointly with others) during the term and within the scope of Executive’s employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be specified to Executive or within the Company’s policies, manuals or procedures by the Company. The records will be available to and remain the sole property and intellectual property of the Company at all times.

Executive covenants to take all requested actions and execute all requested documents to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every way; consistent with applicable law, (1) to secure the Company above rights in the Prior Intellectual Property and Company Inventions and any of the Company Copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, and (2) to pursue any patents or registrations with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable efforts, to secure Executive’s signature on any document for this purpose, then Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney in fact, for the limited purpose of acting for and in Executive’s behalf and stead to execute such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in connection with the execution of such documents.
