6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND
COMPETITION BY THE EMPLOYEE.
(a) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The
terms and conditions of the Employee Intellectual Property and Confidential
Information Agreement, including its Schedules
5
appropriately completed (together, the "IP Agreement"), are attached as EXHIBIT
B and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if written herein verbatim.
(b) SPECIAL EMPLOYEE COVENANTS. Because the Employee will have
access to and possesses Confidential Information, as defined in the IP
Agreement, including detailed customer lists and information relating to the
operations and business requirements of those customers, the Employee is willing
to enter into the covenants described in this paragraph 6(b) in order to provide
the Company with what the Employee considers to be reasonable protection of the
Company's interests. For the period from the Effective Date to and, if this
Agreement is terminated by the Employee without Good Reason, until the first
anniversary of the date of Employee's termination from employment, the Employee
shall not, directly or indirectly:
(1) enter into or engage in the manufacture, sale or
distribution of, or assist in any way any business competitive with the business
of the Company in the manufacture, sale or distribution of, Competitive Products
(as defined below) either on the Employee's own account, or as a partner or
joint venturer, or as an employee, agent, consultant or salesman for any
individual or other entity, or as an officer, director, or stockholder of a
corporation, or as a lender, or otherwise, within the United States of America
or within any foreign country in which the Company actually competes or in which
the Company has during the Term adopted plans to compete, of which Employee had
actual knowledge; PROVIDED THAT, the ownership, in the aggregate, of less than
1% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or
more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or
publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not, by itself, constitute
a violation of this paragraph 6(b)(1). For purposes of this paragraph 6(b)(1),
the term "Competitive Products" shall mean any and all products that are the
same as, or which are competitive with, products that were under development,
manufactured or sold by the Company during the two-year period immediately
preceding the termination of the Employee's employment.
(2) employ, solicit for employment or cause or assist
any person or other entity to employ or solicit for employment, any of the
present or future employees or agents of the Company, or (ii) solicit or induce
the customers of the Company to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business with
the Company.
Nothing in this paragraph 6(b) shall be deemed (i) to limit, or to relieve the
Employee from, legal duties owed by the Employee to the Company after
termination of employment, including fiduciary duties, duties of loyalty, or
other requirements of law applicable to the Employee as a result of the
Employee's employment, directorship, officership or otherwise, or (ii) to limit,
or to relieve the Employee from, the Employee's obligations under this Agreement
or under law relating to Intellectual Property of the Company.
(c) COVENANTS SEVERABLE. The covenants contained in paragraph
6(b) are intended to be separate and severable and enforceable as such.
(d) COVENANTS REASONABLE. The parties agree and acknowledge
that the duration, scope and geographic area of the covenants described in
paragraph 6(b) are fair, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the
goodwill and other legitimate interests of the Company, that adequate
consideration has been provided to the Employee by and under this Agreement for
such obligations and that such obligations do not prevent the Employee from
earning a livelihood. If, however, for any reason any court of competent
jurisdiction (the "Court") determines that the provisions of paragraph 6(b)
pertaining to duration, scope and/or geographic area are too broad or otherwise
unreasonable (together, such provisions being hereinafter referred to as
"Restrictions"), such Restrictions shall be interpreted, modified or
6
rewritten to include the maximum Restrictions as are valid and enforceable under
applicable law. The Court is hereby requested and authorized by the parties to
revise the Restrictions to include the maximum Restrictions allowed under
applicable law and the Restrictions as so revised shall be binding upon the
Employee. If the Court determines that the Restrictions should not be enforced
for want of consideration, the Company may, at its option, provide the Base
Salary to the Employee for the period from the date of the Employee's
termination until the first anniversary of the Employee's termination from
employment to support the Restrictions.
(e) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. In the event of breach of any of the
Employee's obligations under this paragraph 6, the Company shall have the right
to have such obligation specifically enforced by a court of competent
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to entry of restraining
orders and injunctions, whether preliminary, mandatory, temporary, or permanent,
against a violation, threatened or actual, and whether or not continuing, of
such obligation, without the necessity of showing any particular injury or
damage, and without the posting of any bond or other security, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach would cause
immediate and irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages alone
would not provide an adequate remedy. The reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs of the prevailing party in any such proceeding shall be borne by the other
party. A "prevailing party" shall be deemed to be a party that prevails on all
substantive issues. In the absence of a prevailing party, each party shall bear
its own costs if the Court has not otherwise ordered.
7. EMPLOYEE'S REPRESENTATIONS; MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) REPRESENTATION. The Employee represents and warrants that
(i) the Employee is not under any duty or obligation, including a covenant not
to compete, that would interfere with the performance of the Employee's duties
under this Agreement or would be beached by such performance, and (ii) the
performance of the Employee's duties hereunder will not conflict with any
obligation or undertaking of the Employee, legal, fiduciary or otherwise. These
representations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) MISCELLANEOUS. This is a contract for unique personal
services. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation arising hereunder
may be assigned by the Employee without the prior written consent of the
Company, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and
void. Otherwise, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
representations, warranties and understandings, either oral or written, between
the parties with respect thereto, except for rights of the parties under benefit
plans, arrangements and schemes between the Company and the Employer in place on
the Effective Date relating to the employment relationship between the parties.

accordingly, no presumption or burden of proof will arise with respect to any

EXHIBIT B
TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CATCHER, INC.
AND JOHN SUTTON
EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT RELATING TO
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
THIS AGREEMENT is between Catcher, Inc. ("Catcher") and the
person named in the signature block at the end of this Agreement (referred to in
this Agreement as "you" or "your").
In consideration of your employment by Catcher, or if you are
an employee of Catcher at the time you sign this Agreement, your continued
employment, and your regular compensation for as long as you remain an employee
of Catcher, you acknowledge, represent and agree to the following:
I. CATCHER'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
1.1. You acknowledge that as a result of your
employment by Catcher, you will gain access to and knowledge of confidential,
proprietary and/or trade secret information of Catcher regarding financial,
planning, manufacturing and customer matters, technological data, methods, and
processes, as well as other proprietary and confidential information, both oral
and written (collectively referred to in this Agreement as "Confidential
Information"). You further acknowledge that all Confidential Information is the
exclusive property of Catcher and that disclosure of Confidential Information
would cause Catcher to suffer serious competitive disadvantage as well as
immediate and irreparable injury and damages. Accordingly, you will not, either
during your employment by Catcher, or at any time thereafter, use for any
purpose (other than for the benefit of Catcher during your employment) or
disclose to any person, firm or entity any Confidential Information unless
required by law in which case the Employee shall give prompt notice to Catcher.
1.2. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, you will not download or copy any Confidential Information into any
computer or media not owned by Catcher and permanently located on Catcher's
premises unless authorized by Catcher to do so in writing.
1.3. Confidential Information does not include
any information that is or becomes generally available to the public, other than
as a result of disclosure by or through you inadvertently or on purpose.
1.4. You shall not without the prior written
consent of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Catcher either directly
or indirectly publish any opinion, fact or material or deliver any lecture or
address or participate in the making of any film, radio broadcast or television
transmission or communicate with any representative of the media or any third
party relating to the business or affairs of Catcher or to any of its officers,
employees, customers/clients, suppliers, distributors, agents or shareholders or
to the development or exploitation of the Company's Intellectual Property
(defined below). For the purpose of this paragraph, "media" shall include
television (terrestrial, satellite and cable) radio, newspapers and other
journalistic publications.
19
II. INVENTIONS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The following
paragraphs 2.1 through 2.5 shall apply to works of authorship (which shall be
deemed to be "works for hire"), copyrightable material, inventions, improvements
and discoveries (whether patentable or not), trademarks, trade dress or other
intellectual property that has been or will be made, conceived or generated by
you during your employment by Catcher, whether or not made, conceived or
generated within the course of your employment or wholly or partially on your
own time, relating in any way to the business of Catcher, or resulting directly
or indirectly from your employment by Catcher (collectively referred to as
"Intellectual Property"). In no event shall Intellectual Property include any
intellectual property that you develop entirely within your own time WITHOUT
using Catcher's equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information
unless such intellectual property either (1) relates at the time of conception
or reduction to practice to Catcher's business or to Catcher's actual or
demonstrable research or development, or (2) results from any work performed by
you for Catcher. Catcher shall have the right to require disclosure by you in
confidence of all Intellectual Property made, conceived or generated by you,
solely or jointly with others, during your employment by Catcher, to determine
whether or not such intellectual property is Intellectual Property covered by
this Agreement.
2.1. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
2.1.1. All Intellectual Property (including,
without limitation, works of authorship to which the "works for hire" doctrine
is found inapplicable) and all rights therein, will be and are hereby deemed to
be, assigned and transferred by this Agreement to Catcher, its successors and
assigns (including any third party assignee of Catcher pursuant to the terms of
a license). Catcher, its successors and assigns will have the exclusive right to
obtain copyright, patent and/or trademark registrations or other protection of
the Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, maintaining such
Intellectual Property as trade secrets) in Catcher's own name, or in the names
of Catcher's successors or assigns, as inventor, author and/or owner, and to
secure any renewals and extensions of such protection, throughout the world. If
Catcher chooses to maintain any part or all of the Intellectual Property as a
trade secret, Catcher shall so inform you and you will maintain such
Intellectual Property as Confidential Information in accordance with paragraph
1, above.
2.1.2. You hereby acknowledge that you
retain no rights whatsoever with respect to Intellectual Property, including,
without limitation, any rights to reproduce such Intellectual Property, or to
make, have made, use and/or sell products based upon Intellectual Property, or
otherwise to prepare derivatives thereof, or to file patent, copyright or
trademark applications with respect thereto, or to distribute copies of any
Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever, or to exhibit, use or display
any such Intellectual Property publicly or otherwise, or to license or assign to
any third party the right to do any of the foregoing.
2.2. FILINGS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE. Without
further remuneration (except for out-of-pocket expenses), you will execute and
deliver any document and give any assistance as may be reasonably requested by
Catcher to effect the ownership rights provided in this Agreement or otherwise
to further the purposes of this paragraph 2.
2.3. PROTECTING CATCHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
You will follow the policies and procedures of Catcher issued from time to time
with respect to Catcher's Intellectual Property.
2.4. RETURN OF CATCHER DOCUMENTS. Upon
termination of your employment with Catcher (whether with or without cause or
reason) you will immediately return to Catcher all copies of all written
Confidential Information and all documents relating to or embodying any
Intellectual Property, in your possession or control.
20
2.5. YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. You acknowledge
that you have made no inventions, improvements or discoveries, whether or not
patentable, and have generated no other intellectual property prior to the date
of your employment, except:
2.5.1. None _____ [Employee's Initials];
(IF NONE, INITIAL ABOVE AND CROSS OUT
SUBPARAGRAPH 2.5.2, BELOW);
2.5.2. the inventions, improvements and
discoveries or other intellectual property listed on the attached Schedule 1
signed by you and by an officer of Catcher, a copy of which has been delivered
to you together with this Agreement.
III. SPECIFIC RELIEF. In the event of breach by you of any of
your obligations under paragraphs 1, 2 or 4.3 of this Agreement, Catcher shall
have the right to have such obligation specifically enforced by a court of
competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to entry of
restraining orders and injunctions, whether preliminary, mandatory, temporary or
permanent, against the violation, threatened or actual, and whether or not
continuing, of such obligation, without the necessity of showing any particular
injury or damage, and without the posting of any bond or other security, it
being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach would
cause immediate and irreparable injury to Catcher and that money damages alone
would not provide an adequate remedy. In the event that Catcher commences legal
action or seeks legal advice to enforce your obligations under paragraphs 1, 2
or 4.3 of this Agreement, and is the prevailing party therein, you shall be
responsible for all costs related to such action or advice, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.
IV. POST-EMPLOYMENT MATTERS.
4.1. All of your obligations under this Agreement
that either expressly or by their nature survive the termination of your
employment by Catcher in order for such obligations to have their intended
effect, shall survive such termination.
4.2. Upon termination of your employment by
Catcher, you agree to participate in an "exit" interview with representatives of
Catcher on Catcher's premises to discuss Intellectual Property matters and your
continuing obligations under this Agreement; and
4.3. After termination of employment, the
Employee shall not at any time thereafter make any untrue or misleading oral or
written statement concerning the business and affairs of the Company or any
affiliated company nor represent himself or permit himself to be held out as
being in any way connected with or interested in the business of the Company or
any affiliated company (except as a former employee for the purpose of complying
with any applicable statutory requirements).
V. NO OTHER AGREEMENT. You acknowledge and represent that you
are under no obligation to any other person, firm or entity which obligation
would preclude, conflict with or be an impediment to your obligations under this
Agreement.
VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Neither this Agreement nor any
right or obligation arising hereunder may be assigned by you without the prior
written consent of Catcher, and any purported assignment without such consent
shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
representations, warranties and understandings, either oral or written, between
the
21
parties with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
except by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The captions set forth
in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in
any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The provisions of this
Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party so
waiving. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall finally be
determined to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be
severed from this Agreement and every other provision of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard
to principles of conflicts of law. The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of California, or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the State Courts of the State of California
located in San Diego for all purposes permitted by this Agreement. The parties
hereby expressly waive any and all claims and defenses either may have in
respect to any proceeding in such court based on alleged lack of personal
jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum, or any similar defense, to
the maximum extent permitted by law.
