The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that
may be specified by the Company. The records will be available to the Company and
remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

Patent and Copyright Registrations: I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at
the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the
Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property
rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company
of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all
applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the
Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order

Page 18 of 33
 to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole
and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copy rights,
patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further
agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, any such instrument or
papers shall continue after the termination of my employment. If the Company is unable
to perfect any right, title, interest because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any
other reason to fail to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for
any local or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original
works of authorship assigned to the Company as stated above, then I hereby irrevocably
designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my
agent and attorney in fact, to act for and on my behalf to execute and file any such
applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force
and effect as if they were executed by me.

Exception to Assignments: I understand that the provisions of this Annexure requiring

assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention for which no
equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company was used and
which was developed entirely on my own personal time, unless: (i) at the time the
Invention was conceived or reduced to practice, it related (A) directly to the business of
the Company, or (B) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development; or (ii) the Invention resulted from any work performed by me for the
Company. I understand further that the laws of certain states would prohibit the
assignment of such Inventions. I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any
inventions that I believe meet the criteria of this paragraph.

3. Conflicting Employment: I agree that, during the term of my employment with the
Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other
business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved
or becomes involved during the term of my employment, nor will I engage in any other
activities that conflict with my obligations to the Company.

4. Returning Company Documents: I agree that, at the time of leaving the employment of
the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate
or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals,

databases, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any
aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company
or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns.

grant consent to the Company to notify my new employer about my rights and
obligations hereunder.

access to Company’s and Company customer’s work and computer environment and, as
such undertake not to incorporate into Company’s and any customer deliverables,

likely violation hereof may expose the Company to enormous losses and damages,
including without limitation claims from Company’s customers and as such the Company
will be entitled to recover all such monies from me.

the Company, I understand that great loss and irreparable damage would be suffered by
the Company if I should breach any of the terms in paragraphs 1 through 4, 6 through 8,
or 10 of this Annexure. I acknowledge that each such term is reasonably necessary to
protect and preserve the interests of the Company. Therefore, in addition to all other
remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to,
specific performance, a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to
prevent a breach or the continuation of a breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.

Page 20 of 33
9. Representations: I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement
will not breach any confidentiality agreements prior to my employment by the Company.

10. Integration: I understand and agree that this Attachment is part of my integrated
Employment Agreement with the Company, and that the general provisions in the
Agreement to which this is an attachment including, without limitation, those provisions
concerning reformation and severability, shall be applied when interpreting this
Annexure.
