Preserved Rights of Employee This Agreement does not waive or release any rights or claims that Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that arise after the execution of this Agreement. In addition, this Agreement does not prohibit Employee from challenging the validity of this Agreement’s waiver and release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended.
No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, or has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person. The conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has not infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person or constituted unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction, and when conducted in substantially the same manner after the date of this Agreement will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person, including patents issuing on patent applications filed as of the date of this Agreement, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (except to the extent due to Company’s ownership by Buyer or its affiliates). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) no product or service ever produced, distributed, used, provided or sold by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person; (ii) no infringement, misappropriation or similar Action, or any Action alleging unfair competition or trade practices, is pending or has been threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or against any other Person who may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to such Action; (iii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise) relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person, or any actual, alleged or suspected engagement by the Company or any Subsidiary in unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction; (iv) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is bound by any Contract to indemnify, defend, hold harmless or reimburse any other Person with respect to any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right (other than as set forth in Section 3.13(h) of the Disclosure Schedule); and (v) no Action involving any Licensed IP is pending or has been threatened, except for any such Action that, if adversely determined, would not adversely affect (A) the use or exploitation of such Licensed IP by the Company or any Subsidiary or (B) the distribution, hosting, delivery or sale of any Company Product. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever sought or obtained an opinion of counsel regarding any possible infringement, misappropriation, violation or unlawful use of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights or the validity or enforceability of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights.
Unassigned or Nonassignable Inventions I recognize that this Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any Invention that I developed entirely on my own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secrets, or Proprietary Information, except for those Inventions that either (i) relate to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, or (ii) result from or are connected with work performed by me for the Company. In addition, this Agreement does not apply to any Invention which qualifies fully for protection from assignment to the Company under any specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule, or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”).
Protected Rights The Company and the undersigned agree that nothing in this Separation Agreement and Release is intended to or shall be construed to affect, limit or otherwise interfere with any non-waivable right of the undersigned under any Federal, state or local law, including the right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or to exercise any other right that cannot be waived under applicable law. The undersigned is releasing, however, his/her right to any monetary recovery or relief should the EEOC or any other agency pursue Claims on his/her behalf. Further, should the EEOC or any other agency obtain monetary relief on his/her behalf, the undersigned assigns to the Company all rights to such relief.
Nonassignable Inventions This Agreement does not apply to an Invention which qualifies fully as a nonassignable Invention under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter “Section 2870”). I have reviewed the notification on Exhibit A (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agree that my signature acknowledges receipt of the notification.
Sublicense Consideration Company shall pay to JHU a percentage of consideration received for sublicenses under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit A. This sublicense consideration shall be due, without the need for invoice from JHU, within forty-five (45) days of Company’s receipt. Such consideration shall mean consideration of any kind received by the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES from a SUBLICENSEE(S) for the grant of a sublicense under this Agreement, such as upfront fees or milestone fees, running royalties and including any premium paid by the SUBLICENSEE(S) over Fair Market Value for stock of the Company or an AFFILIATED COMPANY in consideration for such sublicense. However, not included in such sublicense consideration are amounts paid to the Company or an AFFILIATED COMPANY by the SUBLICENSEE(S) for product development, research work, clinical studies and regulatory approvals performed by or for the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES (including third parties on their behalf), each pursuant to a specific agreement including a performance plan and commensurate budget. The term “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average price that the stock in question is publicly trading at for twenty (20) days prior to the announcement of its purchase by the SUBLICENSEE(S) or if the stock is not publicly traded, the greater of (a) the value of such stock as determined by the most recent private financing through a financial investor (an entity whose sole interest in the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY is financial) of the Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY that issued the shares, or (b) the value of such stock as determined by the most recent appraisal conducted by an independent appraiser regularly engaged in the business of valuing businesses of the nature of Company or AFFILIATED COMPANY, as applicable. In the event of a sublicense under both this Agreement and any other license agreement between Company and JHU, the sublicensing consideration payable to JHU under this Agreement and such other license agreement(s) shall be capped such that the aggregate amount payable to JHU shall not exceed the percentage set forth in Exhibit A of all sublicensing consideration.
No Implied Rights Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to the Confidential Information of the other Party.
