(b) Non-Disparagement. The Executive shall not, at any time during the Term and in perpetuity thereafter, directly or indirectly, knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding the Company and its officers, the members of the Board, and the respective Affiliates of any of the foregoing. At the end of the Term, the Company will instruct its executive officers and members of the Board to not, directly or indirectly, knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding the Executive, at any time (provided, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit the executive officers and members of the Board from responding truthfully to inquiries from shareholders or otherwise complying with its disclosure obligations under appliable regulatory or securities law).

(c) Intellectual Proprietary Rights.
(i) The Executive agrees that the results and proceeds of the Executive’s services for the Company (including, but not limited to, any trade secrets, products, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments, innovations, analyses, drawings, reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes, programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative nature, writings and other works of authorship) resulting from services performed for the Company and any works in progress, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that were made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by the Executive, either alone or jointly with others (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret, patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to the Executive whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not legally be a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of the Executive’s right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its Affiliates), and the Company or such Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such Affiliates without any further payment to the Executive whatsoever. As to any Invention that the Executive is required to assign, the Executive shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to the Executive concerning such Invention. The Executive hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Executive now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company. In accordance with applicable law, this Section 7(c) does not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets or other Confidential Information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time unless (a) the Invention relates to the Company’s business or the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development; or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Company.
