Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) in the event an assignment or purported assignment to the Purchaser of any Contract or Permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, without the consent of other parties thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or would not result in the Purchaser receiving upon and after the Closing all of the rights of the Company thereunder, and (ii) if any such consent has not been obtained by the Closing and the Purchaser nevertheless has elected to proceed with the Closing, such Contract or Permit shall be deemed not to have been assigned by the Company to the Purchaser (provided, however, that the obligations thereunder shall be deemed to have been assumed by the Purchaser, as between the Purchaser and the Company). In those circumstances, if requested by the Purchaser, the Company will use its reasonable efforts after the Closing to obtain any such consent. If such consent is not obtained and is required to effectively assign a Contract or Permit to the Purchaser, the Company will cooperate with the Purchaser in any reasonable arrangement to provide the Purchaser with the full claims, rights and benefits under any such Contract or Permit, including without limitation, enforcement at the cost and for the benefit of the Purchaser of any and all rights of the Company against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or otherwise, and any amount received by the Company in respect of such unassigned Contract or Permit shall be held for and paid over to the Purchaser.

The term “Taxes” means taxes, duties, charges or levies of any nature imposed by any taxing or other Governmental or Regulatory Authority, including without limitation income, gains, capital gains, surtax, capital, franchise, capital stock, value-added taxes, taxes required to be deducted from payments made by the payor and accounted for to any tax authority, employees’ income withholding, back-up withholding, withholding on payments to foreign Persons, social security, national insurance, unemployment, worker’s compensation, payroll, disability, real property, personal property, sales, use, goods and services or other commodity taxes, business, occupancy, excise, customs and import duties, transfer, stamp, and other taxes (including interest, penalties or additions to tax in respect of the foregoing), and includes all taxes payable by the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulations §1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law. All Taxes shown on said returns to be due and all other Taxes due and owing (whether or not shown on any Tax return) have been paid and all additional assessments received prior to the date hereof have been paid or are being contested in good faith, in which case, such contested assessments are set forth on Schedule 3.11.

The tax accrual workpapers on which such accrual for Taxes (accruing separately for each type of Tax, Taxing jurisdiction and Taxable year, each such separate liability being a “Specific Tax Liability”) is based are attached hereto on Schedule 3.11 and each specific accrual reflected in such workpapers is sufficient for payment of all Taxes with respect to each Specific Tax Liability. Since the Balance Sheet Date, the Company has not incurred any liabilities for Taxes other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company consistent with past custom and practice, except such Taxes as arise from the transactions contemplated hereby. No shareholder, member, manager, director or officer (or employee responsible for Tax matters) of the Company expects any authorities to assess the Company or any shareholder thereof for any additional Taxes for any period for which Tax returns have been filed. The Company has delivered to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of all federal, state and local income tax returns filed with respect to the Company for all taxable periods that are requested by the Purchaser. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, none of the federal, state or local income tax returns of the Company have ever been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any other Governmental or Regulatory Authority. No examination of any return of the Company is currently in progress, and the Company has not received notice of any proposed audit or examination. No deficiency in the payment of Taxes by the Company for any period has been asserted in writing by any taxing authority and remains unsettled at the date of this Agreement. The Company has not received notice of a claim by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority in any jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax returns that the Company is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The Company has not made any agreement, waiver or other arrangement providing for an extension of time with respect to the assessment or collection of any Taxes against it. The Company has not been a member of an affiliated group filing consolidated federal income tax returns nor has it been included in any combined, consolidated or unitary state or local income tax return. The Company will not be required as a result of a change in accounting method for any period ending on or before the Closing Date to include any adjustment under Section 481 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign income tax law) in income for any period ending after the Closing Date, excluding any change which may be required by law in connection with this transaction. The Company has not entered into any Tax sharing or indemnification agreement with any party. At no point has the Company held any interests in real property that might be subject to tax, or might subject the transfer of the shares of such entity to tax under Section 897 of the Code. The Company has not taken any Tax position that could give rise to a penalty under any of Sections 6662, 6662A or 6663 of the Code. Neither the Purchaser nor the Company will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any: (i) “closing agreement” as described in Code Section 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or foreign income tax law); (ii) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (iii) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.

Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under, arising out of or by operation of Section 302(c)(11) or Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) arising in the ordinary course), including, without limitation, any liability in connection with the termination of any employee benefit plan

19


 

subject to Title IV of ERISA (a “Title IV Plan”); and, no fact or event has occurred or condition exists which could give rise to any such liability. No complete or partial termination has occurred within the five years preceding the date hereof with respect to any Plan maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, and no reportable event (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA), notice of which has not been waived by the PBGC, has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to any Plan maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in liability to the Company or the Purchaser under Section 4069 of ERISA. No Title IV Plan or Plan subject to Section 302 of ERISA maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate had an accumulated funding deficiency (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, as of the most recently ended plan year of such Plan.

All contributions, premiums or payments (including all employer contributions and, if applicable, all employee salary reduction contributions) required to be made, paid or accrued with respect to any Plan have been made, paid or accrued on or before their due dates, including extensions thereof. All such contributions have been fully deducted or in the case of the current year will be deducted for income tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, and no fact or event has occurred or condition exists which could give rise to any such challenge or disallowance.
     3.17.9 409A. With respect to each Plan (and any other arrangement involving the Company or any ERISA Affiliate) that is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “409A Plan”), no event has occurred and no condition exists, that could subject anyone, including any Person, to any tax, fine, penalty or other liability under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Liability”). None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement could, directly or indirectly, subject anyone or any Person to any 409A Liability. No 409A Plan has been materially modified within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1, except as permitted under IRS rulings and pronouncements and each 409A Plan has been operated and administered in good faith in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Affected Employees shall be employees at will (unless a written employment agreement to the contrary has been entered into with such Affected Employee or expressly assumed by the Purchaser) and nothing express or implied in this Agreement will obligate the Purchaser to provide continued employment to any such Affected Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing Date. The Purchaser will be the sole judge of the number, identity and qualifications of employees necessary for the conduct of its business operations and reserves the right to take any personnel action it deems necessary or desirable with respect to Affected Employees.

Each party hereto shall file their respective Tax returns consistently with such allocation.

accountants and other authorized representatives sufficient access to the Company’s facilities, properties, books, records and current and prior accountants and their respective work papers, in order for the Purchaser to reasonably conduct an audit of the Company’s financial statements for each of the financial periods for which such disclosure will be required of the Purchaser pursuant to Item 2.01 of Form 8-K, and to be able to complete such audits within the time period required for filing such statements under such Item.

Any claim for indemnity made under this Section 8.2.2 shall not be construed as a claim under Section 8.2.1 hereof even if a Purchaser Indemnified Party could have made a claim under Section 8.2.1 hereof in respect of the same matters.
     8.2.3 Losses. The term “Losses” as used in this Agreement is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against a Purchaser Indemnified Party but includes Losses incurred or sustained by a Purchaser Indemnified Party in the absence of third party claims.

     Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.
     8.4.1 Non-Third Party Claims.
     (a) If any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification which does not involve a Third Party Claim (as defined in Section 8.4.2) (a “Non-Third Party Claim”), against which a Person is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the “Non-Third Party Claim Notice”), which Non-Third Party Claim Notice shall (i) describe the claim in reasonable detail, and (ii) indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party.
     (b) The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by written notice (the “Non-Third Party Acknowledgement of Liability”) to the Indemnified Party to satisfy the Non-Third Party Claim within 30 days of receipt of the Non-Third Party Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying

30


 

Party disputes the Non-Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute (the “Non-Third Party Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of the Non-Third Party Claim Notice (the “Non-Third Party Dispute Period”), setting forth a reasonable basis of such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to deliver the Non-Third Party Acknowledgement of Liability or Non-Third Party Dispute Notice within the Non-Third Party Dispute Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay the Non-Third Party Claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute the Non-Third Party Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay any Non-Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4.1, or once any dispute under this Section 8.4.1 has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Non-Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of the date of acknowledgement or resolution, as the case may be, to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified Party.
     8.4.2 Third-Party Claims.
     (a) If any Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement in respect of which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement by an Indemnifying Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) within 20 days after asserting or learning of such Third Party Claim (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such claim). The Third Party Claim Notice shall (i) describe the claim in reasonable detail, and (ii) indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party must provide written notice to the Indemnified Party that it is either (i) assuming responsibility for the Third Party Claim or (ii) disputing the claim for indemnification against it (the “Indemnification Notice”). The Indemnification Notice must be provided by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within 20 days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim (the “Indemnification Notice Period”).
     (b) If the Indemnifying Party provides an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnified Party within the Indemnification Notice Period that it assumes responsibility for the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnification Notice shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim (“Defense Counsel”); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnification Notice within the Indemnification Notice Period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and subject to the provisions of Section 8.6, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

31


 

     (c) If the Indemnifying Party provides in the Indemnification Notice that it disputes the claim for indemnification against it, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim, without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party. Once such dispute has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1, the Indemnifying Party shall within 10 days of the date of such resolution or agreement, pay to the Indemnified Party all Losses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.
     (d) If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnification Notice pursuant to which it elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party will not settle the Third Party Claim or cease to defend against any Third Party Claim as to which it has (x) delivered an Indemnification Notice and (y) assumed responsibility for the Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, if, as a result of such settlement or cessation of defense, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
     (e) If an Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offer of settlement which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, which provides for a full release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates relating to the Third Party Claims underlying the offer of settlement and solely for a monetary payment, the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such an event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept plus the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party of the offer of settlement.
     (f) Notwithstanding clause (d) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim (i) if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (ii) that if unsuccessful, would set a precedent that would have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle

32


 

the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     (g) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section 8.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including anything contained in Section 8.6.5), the maximum aggregate liability of the Senior Lender for indemnity payments under Section 8.2.1 shall be an amount equal to $650,000, except with respect to any indemnity given with respect to the License Agreement or the TriplePoint Lease, in which case the maximum aggregate indemnification liability of the Senior Lender hereunder shall be increased to $850,000.

Subject to Section 8.6.5, the obligation of the Company or the Senior Lender to indemnify under Section 8.2 hereof shall terminate on June 30, 2013, except as to matters as to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date, in which case the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive the expiration of such period until such claim for indemnification is finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.
     8.6.3 Termination of Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser. Subject to Section 8.6.5, the obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify under Section 8.3 hereof shall terminate on June 30, 2013, except as to matters as to which any Company Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification on or prior to such date, in which case the right to indemnification with respect thereto shall survive such period until such claim for indemnification is resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.

Any claims for indemnification made on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party which are not in excess of the Escrow Amount (or any remaining portion thereof), shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Any such claims which are in excess of the Escrow Amount (or any remaining portion thereof), shall not be subject to resolution pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event of any successful claim for indemnification made on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder, payment shall be satisfied (i) first, by release of the Escrow Amount to the Purchaser on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parties, pursuant to a joint written direction to the Escrow Agent from the Senior Lender and the Purchaser, and (ii) second, by the Senior Lender pursuant to a wire payment to the Purchaser on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Party or Parties.

     1. In consideration of my employment by Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”), I hereby agree to certain restrictions placed by the Company on my use and development of information and technology of the Company, as more fully set out below.
     2. I acknowledge that the Company is an “at-will” employer and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to imply that the term of my employment is of any definite duration. Unless specifically provided differently in a separate written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the Company, my employment with the Company is at-will, and can be terminated at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause, by the Company.
     3. Proprietary Information.
               (a) I understand that the term “Proprietary Information” in this Agreement means any and all information, ideas and materials, in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by me, pertaining in any manner to the business of or used by the Company (including, without limitation, any person or entity owned by, controlled by or affiliated with the Company or to any other person or entity to whom or which the Company owes a duty of confidentiality), including, but not limited to, any trade secret, technical know-how, information, knowledge or data relating to the Company’s past, present, planned or foreseeable business.
               (b) Proprietary Information may be stamped or otherwise marked “Confidential, “Proprietary,” or with some similar designation. If any information or material is not so marked, however, and it meets the definition in the foregoing Section (3)(a) above, it is still Proprietary Information. If I am uncertain as to whether particular information or materials are Proprietary Information, I will request the Company’s written opinion as to their status. I understand that Proprietary Information does not include any information, idea or material that (i) is or becomes publicly known through lawful means and without breach of this Agreement by me; (ii) was rightfully in my possession or part of my general knowledge prior to my employment by the Company; or (iii) is disclosed to me without confidential or proprietary restrictions by a third party who rightfully possesses the information, ideas or materials (without confidential or proprietary restrictions) and I did not learn of it, directly or indirectly, from the Company. Any information, idea or material will not be considered to be publicly known or in the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general information in my prior possession or the possession of others, or merely because it is expressed in public literature in general terms. Proprietary Information also does not include my general knowledge and skill obtained during the course of my employment.

41


 

               (c) I acknowledge that all non-public information generated, received or maintained by or for me on the premises or equipment of Company (including, without limitation, computer systems and electronic or voice mail systems) is Proprietary Information and the sole property of the Company, and I hereby waive any property or privacy rights I may have with respect to such information.
     4. Restrictions on Proprietary Information.
          (a) I will not, during or at any time after the termination of my employment with the Company, use or reproduce any Proprietary Information, except in the course of performing my duties as an employee of the Company. I also will not disclose or deliver, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Information to any person or entity, except in the course of performing my duties as an employee of the Company and with the Company’s consent. I will use my best efforts to prevent the unauthorized reproduction, disclosure or use of Proprietary Information by others.
          (b) I agree to maintain at my work station and/or any other place under my control only such Proprietary Information as I have a current “need to know.” I agree to return to the appropriate person or location or otherwise properly dispose of Proprietary Information once that need to know no longer exists. I agree not to remove Proprietary Information from the Company’s premises except as required in the course of my employment with the Company.
          (c) I recognize that the Company has received and will receive Proprietary Information from third parties to whom or which the Company owes a duty of confidentiality. In addition to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4, I will not use, reproduce, disclose or deliver such Proprietary Information except as permitted by the Company’s agreement with such third party.
     5. Protection of Personal Information.
          (a) During my employment with the Company and thereafter, I shall hold Personal Information in the strictest confidence and shall not disclose or use Personal Information about other individuals, except in connection with my work for the Company, or unless expressly authorized in writing by an authorized representative of the Company. I understand that there are laws in the United States and other countries that protect Personal Information, and that I must not use Personal Information about other individuals other than for the purposes for which it was originally used or make any disclosures of other individuals’ Personal Information to any third party or from one country to another without prior approval of an authorized representative of the Company.

42


 

          (b) “Personal Information” means personally identifiable information about employees, independent contractors or third party individuals, including names, addresses, telephone or facsimile numbers, Social Security Numbers, background information, credit card or banking information, health information, or other information entrusted to the Company.
     6. Creations.
          (a) I hereby assign, and agree to assign, to the Company, without additional compensation, my entire right, title and interest (including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights as such term is defined below) in and to (i) all Creations, and (ii) all benefits, privileges, causes of action and remedies relating to the Creations, whether before or hereafter accrued (including, without limitation, the exclusive rights to apply for and maintain all such registrations, renewals and/or extensions; to sue for all past, present or future infringements or other violations of any rights in the Creation; and to settle and retain proceeds from any such actions).
          (b) The term “Creations” includes, but is not limited to, creations, inventions, works of authorship, ideas, processes, technology, formulas, software programs, writings, designs, discoveries, modifications and improvements, whether or not patentable or reduced to practice and whether or not copyrightable, that relate in any manner to the actual or demonstrably anticipated business or research and development of the Company or its affiliates, and that are made, conceived or developed by me (either alone or jointly with others), or result from or are suggested by any work performed by me (either alone or jointly with others) for or on behalf of the Company or its affiliates, (i) during the period of my employment with the Company, whether or not made, conceived or developed during regular business hours or (ii) after termination of my employment if based on Proprietary Information. I agree that all such Creations are the sole property of the Company or any other entity designated by it, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any copyrightable Creation will be deemed a work made for hire.
          (c) The term “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all (i) patents, utility models, industrial rights and similar intellectual property rights registered or applied for in the United States and all other countries throughout the world (including all reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, renewals, extensions and reexaminations thereof); (ii) rights in trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, domain names, rights of publicity, trade names and corporate names (whether or not registered) in the United States and all other countries throughout the world, including all registrations and applications for registration of the foregoing and all goodwill related thereto; (iii) copyrights (whether or not registered) and rights in works of authorship, databases and mask works, and registrations and applications for registration thereof in the United States and all other countries throughout the world, including all renewals, extensions, reversions or restorations associated with such copyrights, now or hereafter provided by law, regardless of the medium of fixation or means of

43


 

expression; (iv) rights in trade secrets2 and other confidential information and know-how in the United States and all other countries throughout the world; (v) other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the United States and all other countries throughout the world, including all neighboring rights and sui generis rights; (vi) rights to apply for, file, register establish, maintain, extend or renew any of the foregoing; (vii) rights to enforce and protect any of the foregoing, including the right to bring legal actions for past, present and future infringement, misappropriation or other violations of any of the foregoing; and (viii) rights to transfer and grant licenses and other rights with respect to any of the foregoing, in the Company’s sole discretion and without a duty of accounting.
          (d) If, under applicable law notwithstanding the foregoing, I retain any right, title or interest (including any Intellectual Property Right) with respect to any Creation, I hereby grant and agree to grant to the Company, without any limitations or additional remuneration, a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable and sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) license to make, have made, use, import, sell, offer to sell, practice any method or process in connection with, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit such Creation and I agree not to make any claim against the Company or its affiliates, suppliers or customers with respect to such Creation.
          (e) I agree that I will, at the Company’s request, promptly execute a written assignment of title for any Creation required to be assigned by this Section 6. I further agree to perform, during and after my employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to assist it (at its expense) in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Creation assigned to the Company pursuant to this Section 6. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. Should the Company be unable to secure my signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Creation, whether due to my mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to undertake such acts in my name as if executed and delivered by me, and I waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims of any nature whatsoever that I may not have or may later have for infringement of any intellectual property rights in the Creations. The Company will compensate me at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance at any time following termination of my employment with the Company.
 
2   The term “trade secrets,” as used in this Agreement will be given its broadest possible interpretation under the laws of the State of New Jersey, and will include, without limitation, anything tangible or intangible or electronically kept or stored, which constitutes, represents, evidences or records or any secret scientific, technical, merchandising, production or management information, or any design, process, procedure, formula, invention, improvement or other confidential or proprietary information or documents.

44


 

          (f) To the extent allowed by applicable law, the assignment of Creations includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights,” “artist’s rights,” “droit moral,” or the like (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby waive and agree not to institute, support, maintain or permit any action or proceeding on the basis of, or otherwise assert, such Moral Rights. I hereby authorize the Company to publish the Creations in the Company’s sole discretion with or without attributing any of the foregoing to me or identifying me in connection therewith and regardless of the effect on such Creations or my relationship thereto. I agree to ratify and consent to any action that may be taken or authorized by the Company with respect to such Creations, and I will confirm any such ratifications and consents from time to time as requested by the Company.
          (g) I shall not, without prior written approval by the Company, make any disclosure to the Company of or incorporate into Company property or Company Creations any Creation owned by me or in which I have an interest (“Employee Creation”) or owned by a third party (“Third Party Creation”). If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I make any disclosure to the Company of or incorporate into Company property or Company Creation an Employee Creation, with or without Company approval, I hereby grant and agree to grant to the Company a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable and sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) license to make, have made, use, import, sell, offer to sell, practice any method or process in connection with, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit such Employee Creation and I agree not to make any claim against the Company or its affiliates, suppliers or customers with respect to any such Employee Creation.
          (h) I represent, warrant and covenant that: (i) I have the right to grant the rights and assignments granted herein, without the need for any assignments, releases, consents, approvals, immunities or other rights not yet obtained; (ii) any Creations that are copyrightable works are my original works of authorship; and (iii) neither the Creations nor any element thereof are subject to any restrictions or to any mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or encroachments.
          (i) I acknowledge that the Creations and the associated Intellectual Property Rights may have substantial economic value, that any and all proceeds resulting from use and exploitation thereof shall belong solely to the Company, and that the salary and other compensation I receive from the Company for my employment with the Company includes fair and adequate consideration for all assignments, licenses and waivers hereunder.
     7. All inventions, works of authorship, ideas, processes, technology, formulas, software programs, writings, designs, discoveries, modifications, improvements or other creations, if any, that I made, conceived or developed (either alone or jointly with others) prior to my employment by the Company (collectively, “Prior Creations”) are excluded from the

45


 

scope of this Agreement. Set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is a complete list of all such Prior Creations that are owned by me, either alone or jointly with others. I represent and covenant that such list is complete, and I understand that by not listing an invention, work of authorship, discovery, modification, improvement or other creation I am acknowledging that such creation was not made, conceived or developed before commencement of my employment with the Company. I agree to notify the Company in writing before I make any disclosure to, or perform any work on behalf of, the Company that appears to conflict with proprietary rights I claim in any Prior Creation. If I fail to give such notice, I agree that I will make no claim against the Company with respect to any such Prior Creation.
     8. I will not use, disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or material belonging to others which comes into my knowledge or possession at any time, nor will I use any such information or material in the course of my employment with the Company. Additionally, I will not bring any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or material belonging to others onto the Company’s premises. Except as disclosed on Schedule A to this Agreement, I have no other agreements or relationships with or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict with my obligations to the Company as an employee of the Company or under this Agreement, and I represent that my employment will not require me to violate any obligation to or confidence with another. In the event I believe that my work at the Company would make it difficult for me not to disclose to the Company any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or materials belonging to others, I will immediately inform my supervisor. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict with this Agreement.
     9. Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit Customers or Employees.
          (a) I acknowledge that based on my access to and use of Proprietary Information during my employment, the provisions set forth in this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to the continued protection of the Proprietary Information. I agree that for the period of my employment by the Company and for the twelve (12) months after the date my employment ends for any reason, I will not, without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly (i) engage in any competitive activity or venture, or be engaged by any competitive venture or business, whether as an employee, an independent contractor or otherwise; provided that this shall not prohibit me from working in another business area of a company that also is involved in a competitive activity; (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or entity, or to otherwise diminish their relationship with the Company; (iii) solicit or attempt to solicit any Company customer for the purpose of offering or providing to that customer any products or services that are competitive with products or services provided or offered in the marketplace by the Company as of the date

46


 

of my termination; or (iv) otherwise encourage a customer not to purchase products or services from the Company or to reduce the scope or amount of products or services the customer purchases from the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit me from acquiring, solely as an investment, not more than one percent (1%) of the shares of capital stock of any public corporation.
          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “competitive activity” means the development, manufacture, servicing, sale or marketing of online and/or social video games, whether for purchase or free to play, offered via the Internet, social networks or mobile platforms. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, a “customer” is any person or entity to which the Company has provided goods or services at any time during the period commencing prior to my employment with the Company and ending on the date my employment with the Company is severed, and with whom I had contact or whose identity I became aware of during my employment with the Company.
          (c) If a court determines that any of the restrictions contained in this Section 9 are unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration, scope, or otherwise, the court or arbitrator may modify the restriction, but only to the extent necessary to render it enforceable, and, in its modified form, may enforce the restriction. Alternatively, if the court or arbitrator declines to modify the restriction, the court or arbitrator may sever the portions of the restriction that the court or arbitrator determines are unenforceable and enforce the remainder of the restriction. I understand that my agreement to follow the terms of this Section 9 is a material part of the consideration set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.
     10. Duty of Loyalty.
          (a) I understand that my employment with the Company requires my full attention and effort. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company’s express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity other than for the Company, including but not limited to employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with or distract me from, my employment by the Company.
          (b) While employed by the Company, I will not undertake any planning for any competitive activity or prepare to engage in any competitive activity.
     11. I understand that the Company has or may enter into contracts with other persons or entities, including the United States government or its agents, under which certain intellectual property rights will be required to be protected, assigned, licensed, or otherwise transferred. I hereby agree to be bound by all such agreements, and to execute such other documents and agreements as are necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations under any such contracts.

47


 

     12. I hereby acknowledge and agree that all property, including, without limitation, all source code listings, books, manuals, records, models, drawings, reports, notes, contracts, lists, blueprints, and other documents or materials and all copies thereof, all equipment furnished to or prepared by me in the course of or incident to my employment, and all Proprietary Information belonging to the Company will be promptly returned to the Company upon termination of my employment with the Company for any reason or at any other time at the Company’s request. Following my termination, I will not retain any written or other tangible material containing any Proprietary Information or information pertaining to any Creation. I understand that my obligations contained in this Agreement will survive the termination of my employment and I will continue to make all disclosures required of me by Section 6(e) above. I further agree not to use any Proprietary Information for my benefit or the benefit of others. I recognize that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit any remedy of the Company under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or other federal or state law, and that I could face possible criminal and civil actions resulting in imprisonment and substantial monetary liability if I misappropriate the Company’s trade secrets. In addition, I acknowledge that it may be extremely difficult to measure in money the damage to the Company of any failure by me to comply with this Agreement, that the restrictions and obligations under this Agreement are material, and that, in the event of any failure, the Company could suffer irreparable harm and significant injury and may not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, I agree that if I breach any provision of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to the issuance of an injunction or other restraining order or to the enforcement of other equitable remedies against me to compel performance of the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of showing or proving it has sustained any actual damage. This will be in addition to any other remedies available to the Company in law or equity.
     13. Miscellaneous Provisions.
          (a) Application of this Agreement. I hereby agree that my obligations set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 hereof and the definitions of Proprietary Information and Creations contained therein shall be equally applicable to Proprietary Information and Creations relating to any work performed by me for the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement.
          (b) No Waiver by Conduct or Prior Waiver. A party’s delay, failure or waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement will not impair, preclude, cancel, waive or otherwise affect such right or remedy or any subsequent rights or remedies that may arise.
          (c) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including, without limitation the schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and me relating generally to the same subject matter, replaces any existing agreement entered into by me and the Company relating generally to the same subject matter, and may not be changed or modified, in whole or in part, except by written supplemental agreement signed by me and the

48


 

Company. I agree that any subsequent change in my duties or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.
          (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any parts thereof, are determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement and the remainder of any of the provision so impaired shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and such invalid, void or unenforceable provision or parts thereof shall be severable.
          (e) Continuation; Binding Effect. The obligations of this Agreement will continue beyond the termination of my employment and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, administrators, legal representatives and other successors in interest. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors, assigns and affiliates.
          (f) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to its conflict of law rules. The parties agree that any legal action or other legal proceeding, including any arbitration, relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement may be brought or otherwise commenced or held in the State of New Jersey (the “Forum”). Each Party to this Agreement (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Forum in connection with any such legal proceeding, (ii) agrees that the Forum shall be deemed to be a convenient forum and the exclusive forum for resolution of any and all disputes relating to this Agreement; (iii) agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such legal proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in the Forum, any claim that this Agreement is not to be construed or governed by the law of the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court; and (iv) agrees not to pursue any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any forum other than the Forum. A breach of this Agreement shall not be subject to arbitration pursuant to any separate agreement between me and the Company.
          (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and both of which will constitute one agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall require the Purchaser to pay or discharge any of the Assumed Liabilities owed to a third party expressly assumed hereby so long as the Purchaser shall in good faith contest or cause to be contested the amount or validity thereof as against the third party and the Purchaser shall pay or discharge such Assumed Liabilities once its liability therefor has been finally established. Other than as specifically stated above or in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser assumes no debt, liability or obligation of the Seller, including (without limitation) the Retained Liabilities, by this Agreement, and it is expressly understood and agreed that all debts, liabilities and obligations not assumed hereby by the Purchaser shall remain the obligations of the Seller, its successors and assigns.

54


 

enforcement of this Agreement), shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to any conflicts or choice of laws provisions of the State of New Jersey that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
