For a period of eighteen months immediately following the termination of this Agreement, Employee shall not open, start or begin any printing, duplicating, mailing, direct mail marketing, or similar service company, or serve in a managerial or supervisory capacity in any such business, within the State of Arizona.

1. Employee further covenants and agrees that for a period of eighteen months immediately following the expiration or termination of employment, that he or she will not in any way, directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or on behalf of, or in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or any other entity, solicit, entice, hire, employ, or endeavor to hire or employ, any of Sunshine’s employees.

2. Employee hereby assigns to Sunshine, free of encumbrances or restrictions, all inventions, discoveries, designs, methods, systems, improvements, trade secrets, ideas, and all other intangible property, whether patentable or not, conceived or originated by Employee solely or jointly with others, at Sunshine’s facility or Sunshine’s request, in the course of Employee’s employment or based on knowledge or information obtained from Sunshine or gained by Employee during the course of employment. Employee acknowledges that each such item of property, whether tangible or intangible, is the sole property of Sunshine, with or without this assignment. Employee agrees to communicate promptly and disclose without additional compensation, to execute all documents necessary to assign to Sunshine or its nominees, free of encumbrances or restrictions, all such property.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that, due to the nature of the business of Sunshine and/or the nature of the services performed by the Employee, any breach by Employee of the covenants contained herein will cause immediate and irreparable damage and injury to Sunshine, which damage and injury is not readily measurable, and that the amount of such loss or damages to Sunshine as a result of the breach by Employee of the covenants contained herein may be impossible to compute with certainty.
