(11)Intellectual Property Rights. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all material, documentation, deliverables, and other tangible expressions of information including but not limited to, software programs and software documentation, designs, technical data, formulae, and processes, whether in final production or draft, which result from any work performed by Employee, providing the Services under this Agreement, or any extension or renewal thereof, shall be deemed to belong to the Employer, and all rights, title, and interest, including any copyright, patent rights, and all other intellectual property rights, shall belong exclusively to the Employer (the “Work Product”).

(12)Ancillary activities. During employment with the Employer, the Employee shall devote substantially all of the Employee’s business time and attention to the performance of the Employee’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation which would materially interfere with the performance of such services without the prior written consent of the Employer.
(a) The Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment and for a period of 12 months following the date of termination of this Agreement (or any other engagement by the Employer or its affiliates) (“Termination Date”), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for or with a business that competes with the business of the Employer and any of its affiliates (“Competitors”), engage, in Europe or the United States, in any activity (as employee, owner, consultant, partner, or in any other capacity) that is the same as or similar to the business of the Employer and its affiliated enterprises and with which the Employee was involved to a material extent in the twelve (12) months before the Termination Date.

(b) The Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Employee will not (either directly or indirectly) solicit, recruit, or encourage [any employees] of the Employer or any enterprise affiliated with Employer (or any employee who has terminated their relationship with the Employer or such affiliated enterprise within the six (6) months prior to the date of the action prohibited hereunder) that Employee had knowledge of or contact with due to Employee’s Position or access to Confidential Company Information during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Termination Date, to provide to a Competitor the same or substantially similar services they provided to the Employer.
(15)Severance; Reasonableness of restraints.
(a) The Employee acknowledges that the Employer enters this Agreement, makes payment of the Salary and provides the Employee with access to Company Property and the Confidential Company Information in reliance on, and in consideration for, amongst other things, the restrictive covenants set out in the articles 10, 11, 12 13 and 14. In the Employee’s Position, the Employee's work may involve, amongst other things, (i) contact with the Employee’s other employees, contracts, agents, customers and suppliers, (ii) policy-making, strategic work, development and planning for key products or service offerings of the Employer, (iii) work with certain systems that are by their nature Confidential Company Information and of material market value to the Employer. The Employee will, by performing the Position, have relevant knowledge and confidential information that is highly valuable to a Competitor. For example, Employee may have an understanding of any one or more of the following:(i) quotations/margins/purchasing prices of key assets of the Employer or other budgeting and financial matters, (ii) marketing/sales strategies, (iii) customer database and/or customer knowledge, (iv) suppliers, (v) components of certain products or services offered by the Employer, (vi) due diligence report(s) and/or prospective material transactions of the Employer, (vii) knowledge of systems, (viii) contract terms, (ix) new products/services to be developed and (x) market research or other strategic market inquiries.

(b) The Employee expressly warrants and represents that the Company Confidential Information (including any Trade Secrets) that Employer has agreed to provide Employee give rise to the Employer’s interest in restraining Employee from competing with the Employer and its affiliated enterprises or soliciting its customers, prospective customers, and employees; that the above restrictions against competition and solicitation are designed to enforce such consideration; and that these restrictions with respect to time, scope of activity, and geographic territory are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of Employer. The Employee also warrants and represents that employment opportunities outside the scope of the restrictions exist and remain available to Employee, and that Employee’s skill sets are transferable to other industries and businesses not in competition with Employer.
(c) Each of the restrictions in Sections 13 and 14 are intended to be separate and severable. If any of the restrictions shall be held to be void but would be valid if part of their wording were deleted, such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid or effective.
(d) The periods for which the restrictions in Sections 13 and 14 apply shall be reduced by any period that the Employee spends on Garden Leave immediately before the Termination Date
(e) In consideration of Employee’s covenants not to compete and solicit in Section 13 and Section 14, Employer agrees to pay Employee, in the same amounts and on the same schedule, Employee’s salary as set forth in Exhibit A, Item 4 for the duration of the Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Period, except if this Agreement is terminated by the Employer for Cause (in which case, no such payment shall be made).
(16)Non-Disparagement. The Employee agrees that during his/her employment and at all times thereafter, the Employee shall not disparage the reputation of the Employer or any of its affiliates, its products or services, or any of its officers, directors, employees, or representatives.
(17)Data protection. The Employee consents to the Employer collecting, using or disclosing the Employee’s Personal Data for purposes of entering into, managing or terminating the Employee’s employment relationship with the Employer. During the Employee’s employment, the Employee may be engaged in the processing of a significant amount of Personal Data belonging to clients, other employees and other data subjects. In dealing with Personal Data, the Employee must at all times comply with the Employer’s data protection policies, information security policies and electronic communications policies (as they may be in place and amended from time to time) or otherwise directed by the Employer. For purposes of this Section 17, “Personal Data” shall bear the meaning it does under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012.

(a) Disciplinary and grievance procedures. The Employee is subject to the Employer’s disciplinary rules and procedure, and grievance procedure, copies of which are available from the Employee’s line manager. These rules and procedures do not form part of the Employee’s employment contract.
(b) Amendments. The Employer is authorized to unilaterally amend the provisions of this agreement if the Employer has such a substantial interest in doing so that the Employee's interests must reasonably give way, provided such amendment does not materially adversely impact the Employee’s rights under this Agreement. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be notified in writing to the Employee.
(c) Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void part were deleted.
(d) Waiver. The failure or delay by any party hereto to insist upon or to enforce any of its rights shall not constitute a waiver thereof, and nothing shall constitute a waiver of such party’s right to insist upon strict compliance with the provisions hereof.
(e) Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may reasonably be required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
(f) Agreement. This Agreement replaces all previous agreements between the
Parties.
(g) Assignment. The Employee may not assign, transfer, or convey this Agreement, in whole or in part, except with the prior written consent of the Employer.
(h) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore. Each party consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore, in connection with any claim or dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
(i) Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute but a single document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
