If such work is neither prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment nor a work specially ordered that is deemed to be a work made for hire, then Executive hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to Company all of Executive’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.
Noncompetition and Confidentiality (a) The parties recognize that the employment of Executive with the Company has been and will continue to be special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and in connection with such employment Executive has and will continue to acquire special skill and training. The parties also recognize that the covenants of Executive contained in this Section 9 are an essential part of Executive’s engagement by the Company and that, but for the agreement of the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Executive accordingly agrees that, during the Term, (i) Executive shall not act or serve, directly or indirectly, as a principal, agent, independent contractor, consultant, director, officer, executive, employee or advisor or in any other position or capacity with or for, or acquire a direct or indirect ownership interest in or otherwise conduct (whether as stockholder, partner, investor, joint venturer, or as owner of any other type of interest), any Competing Business (defined below); provided, however, that this clause shall not prohibit the Executive from being the owner of (A) up to 5% of any class of outstanding securities of any entity if such class of securities is publicly traded or (B) any other securities owned by Executive on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) Executive shall not, in connection with or for the benefit of any person or entity engaged in the non-hazardous solid waste business, solicit, induce, divert or take away, any officer, employee or consultant of the Company.
Non Competition and Confidentiality The Executive agrees that:
Indemnification by Company In connection with each Registration Statement relating to disposition of Registrable Securities, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter of Registrable Securities and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter (within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including any reasonable investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter (or any person controlling such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act) on account of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the sale of the Registrable Securities if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or underwriter specifically for use therein; provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to such Holder or any underwriter (or any person controlling such Holder or underwriter) with respect to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary Prospectus that is corrected in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased shares of the Common Stock from such Holder or underwriter but was not given a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) in any case where such delivery of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was required by the Securities Act. The Company shall also indemnify selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities, if requested. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
Nondisclosure Except as required by the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not, at any time during the term of employment by the Company, or at any time thereafter, directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, communicate, disclose, disseminate, lecture upon or publish articles relating to any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company. The Executive understands that the Company will be relying on this Agreement in continuing the Executive’s employment, paying the Executive’s compensation, granting the Executive any promotions or raises, or entrusting the Executive with any information that helps the Company compete with others.
Nondisclosure Covenant The parties acknowledge that Employer and its affiliates are enterprises whose success is attributable largely to the ownership, use and development of certain valuable confidential and proprietary information (the “Proprietary Information”), and that Employee’s employment with Employer will involve access to and work with such information. Employee acknowledges that his relationship with Employer is a confidential relationship, and agrees that (i) he shall keep and maintain the Proprietary Information in strictest confidence, and (ii) he shall not, either directly or indirectly, use any Proprietary Information for his own benefit, or divulge, disclose or communicate any Proprietary Information in any manner whatsoever to any person or Entity other than to employees or agents of Employer having a need to know such Proprietary Information to perform their responsibilities on behalf of Employer, and to other persons or Entities in the normal course of Employer’s business. This nondisclosure obligation shall apply to all Proprietary Information, whether or not Employee participated in the development thereof. Upon termination of his employment with Employer for any reason, Employee will return to Employer all Proprietary Information in any medium and all other documents, data, materials or property of Employer (including any copies thereof) in his possession. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” shall include any and all proprietary information related to the business of Employer and its affiliates and stockholders, or to any of their products, services, sales or operations, which is not generally known to the public, specifically including (but without limitation): trade secrets, processes, formulae, compounds and properties thereof, data, files, research results, computer programs and related source codes and object codes, improvements, inventions, techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, copyrightable material, suppliers, methods and manner of operations; information relating to the identity, needs and location of all past, present and prospective customers; and information with respect to the internal affairs of Employer and its affiliates. Such Proprietary Information may or may not contain legends or other written notice that it is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The parties stipulate that, as between them, the above-described matters are important and confidential and gravely affect the successful conduct of the business of Employer and its affiliates and that any breach of the terms of this Section 5(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
Indemnity by Company Without limitation of any other indemnity provided to SCG, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless SCG and its officers, directors and each Person, if any, who controls SCG (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse SCG and its officers, directors and any controlling person thereof for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by SCG or any officer, director or controlling person thereof.
Confidentiality and Nondisclosure (a) Employee understands and agrees that he will be given Confidential Information (as defined below) and Training (as defined below) during his employment with Employer relating to the business of Employer and/or its Affiliates (as defined below). Employee hereby expressly agrees to maintain in strictest confidence and not to use in any way (including without limitation in any future business relationship of Employee), publish, disclose or authorize anyone else to use, publish or disclose in any way, any Confidential Information relating in any manner to the business or affairs of Employer and/or its Affiliates. Employee agrees further not to remove or retain any figures, calculations, letters, documents, lists, papers, or copies thereof, which embody Confidential Information of Employer and/or its Affiliates, and to return, prior to Employee's termination of employment, any such information in Employee's possession. If Employee discovers, or comes into possession of, any such information after his termination he shall promptly return it to Employer. Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph are consistent with Employer's Code of Conduct with which Employee, as an employee of Employer, is bound.
