Salton agrees that any and all information in any form that is provided to Salton or any of its representatives as part of this Agreement is provided and received in confidence, and Salton, shall at all times preserve and protect the confidentiality of such information, and of any other proprietary or non-public information of or relating to Kmart or any of its related companies of which it or any of its representatives becomes aware or acquires during the performance of this Agreement (such information is hereinafter referred to as "Confidential Information"). Salton also agrees that it shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that such Confidential Information will not be disclosed to, or used by any person, association or entity except its own employees, and then only to the extent necessary to permit it to perform this Agreement. Each of Salton and Kmart agrees to keep the Minimum Product Orders, pricing, and Term of this Agreement (including rights of extension and termination) strictly confidential, except that each of Salton and Kmart shall be permitted to disclose any and all information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent it is legally required to do so, whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, provided, that Salton will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable regulator or court a request for confidential treatment of the pricing and other business terms set forth in this Agreement. In the course of performance of this Agreement, Salton may disclose certain information to Kmart which Salton considers proprietary and confidential. In order to be considered as proprietary and confidential and, thus, subject to the following restrictions, Salton must comply with both of the following requirements prior to disclosure of the information: (i) the information must be clearly and conspicuously identified in writing as "PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF SALTON'; and (ii) Salton must limit its dissemination of the information to an authorized representative of Kmart (i.e., one listed on attached Exhibit E) with a need to know such information in furtherance of the performance of this Agreement (the "Authorized Recipient") Provided Salton has complied with (i) and (ii) above, the Authorized Recipient shall maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent Kmart protects its own proprietary information and shall not disclose it to anyone other than Kmart employees, agents and/or consultants with a need to know who shall also be subject to this restriction. Confidential Information shall not include information that a party can demonstrate by written evidence:
Employee Confidentiality Agreements The members of each Group have entered into confidentiality and non- disclosure agreements with their respective employees. To the extent that any employee during or after employment violates any such agreement and such violation is or may in the future be to the detriment of the other Group, at the written request of the affected party, the other party shall, or shall cause the appropriate members of its Group to, promptly bring and diligently pursue an action against such employee if and to the extent reasonable under the circumstances to preserve the value of the assets and Licensed Materials. The Group member employing the employee violating his/her confidentiality and non- disclosure agreement shall have the unilateral right to determine the forum for, the manner of proceeding in, and legal counsel for such action and shall be entitled to any damages or other relief against such employee awarded in such action to the extent related to such Group's assets or business or to the Licensed Materials. Such enforcement against and recovery by a Group member from its breaching employee shall not constitute a release or sole remedy for the members of the other Group injured by such breaching employee's actions, and such members of the other Group may bring a claim against the Group members employing the breaching employee for a breach of this Agreement. Each party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs of pursuing such action and the other party shall cooperate in connection therewith.
Confidentiality Agreements The parties hereto agree that this Agreement supersedes any provision of the Confidentiality Agreements that could be interpreted to preclude the exercise of any rights or the fulfillment of any obligations under this Agreement, and that none of the provisions included in the Confidentiality Agreements will act to preclude Holder from exercising the Option or exercising any other rights under this Agreement or act to preclude Issuer from fulfilling any of its obligations under this Agreement.

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT In consideration of my employment or continued employment by CALIPER TECHNOLOGIES CORP. (the "COMPANY"), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows:
Proprietary Information and Confidentiality Both before and during the term of Executive’s employment, Executive will have access to and become acquainted with Company confidential and proprietary information (together “Proprietary Information”), including but not limited to information or plans concerning the Company’s products and technologies; customer relationships; personnel; sales, marketing and financial operations and methods; trade secrets; formulae and secret developments and inventions; processes; and other compilations of information, records, and specifications.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary Information does not include information that is otherwise publicly known or available, provided it has not become public as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement Executive has to keep information confidential. It is not a breach of this Agreement for Executive to disclose Proprietary Information (i) pursuant to an order of a court or other governmental or legal body or (ii) in connection with Protected Activity (as defined below). Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Executive from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”). Executive understands that in connection with such Protected Activity, Executive is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Proprietary Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Executive further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications. In addition, Executive hereby acknowledges that the Company has provided Executive with notice in compliance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 regarding immunity from liability for limited disclosures of trade secrets. The full text of the notice is attached in Exhibit B.
Confidentiality Agreement As an employee of the Company, you will continue to have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your acceptance of this Agreement confirms that the terms of the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement you previously signed with the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply.
Confidential Information Agreement Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 6 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of Confidential Information Agreement (as defined in Section 10).
Proprietary Information Agreements Each employee and officer of the Company has executed a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, and each consultant to the Company has executed a Consulting Agreement in substantially the forms made available to the Investors. The Company is not aware that any of its employees, officers or consultants are in violation thereof, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any such violation.
