Employment Agreement - Hurray! Holding Co. Inc. and Jieqiang Li

Employment Forms

  • Employment Agreement. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

Exhibit B

         Key Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement
         ---------------------------------------------------------------

     In consideration of, and as a condition of my continued employment with
Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (as contemplated in the
employment agreement between Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd. and me (the "Employment
Agreement")), or with any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as defined in the
Employment Agreement, Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, collectively, the "Company"), I hereby represent to, and agree with,
                               -------
the Company as follows:

     I hereby represent to, and agree with the Company as follows:

1.   Purpose of Agreement. I understand that the Company is engaged in a
     --------------------
     continuous program of research, development, production and marketing in
     connection with its business and that it is critical for the Company to
     preserve and protect its Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 3
     below), its rights in Inventions (as defined in Section 2 below) and in any
     other intellectual property rights. Accordingly, I am entering into this
     Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement (this
     "Agreement") as a condition of my continued employment with the Company,
      ---------
     whether or not I am expected to create inventions of value for the Company.

2.   Disclosure of Inventions. I will promptly disclose in confidence to the
     ------------------------
     Company all inventions, improvements, designs, original works of
     authorship, derivative works, formulas, processes, compositions of matter,
     techniques, know-how, computer software programs, databases, mask works and
     trade secrets (the "Inventions") that I make or conceive or first reduce to
                         ----------
     practice or create, either alone or jointly with others, during the period
     of my employment, whether or not in the course of my employment, and
     whether or not such Inventions are patentable, copyrightable or protectible
     as trade secrets or mask works.

3.   Proprietary Information. I understand that my employment by the Company
     -----------------------
     creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to any
     information of a confidential or secret nature that may be disclosed to me
     by the Company that relates to the business of the Company or to the
     business of any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, customer or supplier of the
     Company or any other party with whom the Company agrees to hold information
     of such party in confidence (the "Proprietary Information"). Such
                                       -----------------------
     Proprietary Information includes but is not limited to any confidential
     and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information, any past, present or
     future Inventions, marketing plans, product plans, business strategies,
     financial information (including budgets and unpublished financial
     statements), licenses, prices and costs, forecasts, personal information,
     suppliers, customers and lists of either, information, trade secrets,
     patents, mask works, ideas, confidential knowledge, data or other
     proprietary information relating to new and existing products, processes,
     know-how, designs, formulas, developmental or experimental work,
     improvements, discoveries, designs and techniques, computer programs, data
     bases, other original works of authorship, employee information including
     the skills and compensation of other employees of Company, or other subject
     matter pertaining to any business of Company. I agree that Company may from
     time to time create a list of specific Proprietary Information and I will
     acknowledge any such lists in writing upon request.

4.   Confidentiality. At all times, both during my employment and after its
     ---------------
     termination, I will keep and hold all such Proprietary Information in
     strict confidence and trust. I will not use or

                                       12

<PAGE>

     disclose any Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of
     the Company, except as may be necessary to perform my duties as an employee
     of the Company for the benefit of the Company. Upon termination of my
     employment with the Company, I will promptly deliver to the Company all
     documents and materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the
     Company. I will not take with me any documents or materials or copies
     thereof containing any Proprietary Information.

5.   Work for Hire; Assignment of Inventions. I acknowledge and agree that any
     ---------------------------------------
     copyrightable works prepared by me either alone or jointly with others,
     within the scope of my employment are "works for hire" under the United
     States Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and
     owner of such copyrightable works. In the event that any such copyrightable
     works are not deemed to be "works made for hire," I hereby irrevocably
     assign all of my right, title and interest in and to such copyrightable
     works to Company. I agree that all Inventions that (i) are developed using
     equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company, (ii)
     result from work performed by me for the Company, or (iii) relate to the
     Company's business or current or anticipated research and development
     (collectively, "Company Inventions"), will be the sole and exclusive
                     ------------------
     property of the Company and are hereby irrevocably assigned by me to the
     Company.

6.   Assignment of Other Rights. In addition to the foregoing assignment of
     --------------------------
     Company Inventions to the Company, I hereby irrevocably transfer and assign
     to the Company: (i) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights,
     mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in any
     Company Invention; and (ii) any and all Moral Rights (as defined below)
     that I may have in or with respect to any Company Invention. I also hereby
     forever waive and agree never to assert any and all Moral Rights I may have
     in or with respect to any Company Invention, even after termination of my
     work on behalf of the Company. "Moral Rights" mean any rights to claim
                                     ------------
     authorship of a Company Invention, to object to or prevent the modification
     of any Company Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or control the
     publication or distribution of any Company Invention, and any similar
     right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the
     world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is
     denominated or generally referred to as a "moral right".

7.   Assistance. For no consideration in addition to my salary or wages during
     ----------
     my employment, I agree to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain
     for the Company and enforce patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade
     secret rights and other legal protections for the Company's Inventions in
     any and all countries. I will execute any documents that the Company may
     reasonably request for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents,
     copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. My
     obligations under this paragraph will continue beyond the termination of my
     employment with the Company, provided that the Company will compensate me
     at a reasonable rate after such termination for time or expenses actually
     spent by me at the Company's request on such assistance. I appoint the
     Secretary of the Company as my attorney-in-fact to execute documents on my
     behalf for this purpose. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and
     all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for
     infringement of any proprietary rights assigned hereunder to Company.

8.   No Breach of Prior Agreement. I represent that my performance of all the
     ----------------------------
     terms of this Agreement and my duties as an employee of the Company will
     not breach any invention assignment, proprietary information,
     confidentiality or similar agreement with any former employer or other
     party. I represent that I did not bring with me to the Company or use in
     the performance of my duties for the Company any documents or materials or
     intangibles of a

                                       13

<PAGE>

     former employer or third party that are not generally available to the
     public or have not been legally transferred to the Company.

9.   Efforts; Duty Not to Compete. I understand that my employment with the
     Company requires my undivided attention and effort during normal business
     hours. While I am employed by the Company, I will not, without the
     Company's express prior written consent, provide services to, or assist in
     any manner, any business or third party which compete with the current or
     planned business of the Company.

10.  Notification. I hereby authorize the Company to notify my actual or future
     employers of the terms of this Agreement and my responsibilities hereunder.

11.  Non-Solicitation of Employees/Consultants. During my employment with the
     Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, I will not directly or
     indirectly solicit away employees or consultants of the Company for my own
     benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity. "Solicit" shall
     not include the placement of an advertisement in a publication of general
     circulation.

12.  Non-Solicitation of Suppliers/Customers. During my employment with the
     Company and after termination of my employment, I will not directly or
     indirectly solicit or take away suppliers or customers of the Company if
     the identity of the supplier or customer or information about the supplier
     or customer relationship is a trade secret or is otherwise deemed
     confidential information within the meaning of Chinese law.

13.  Injunctive Relief. I understand that in the event of a breach or threatened
     breach of this Agreement by me the Company may suffer irreparable harm and
     will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement,
     without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Company may have for
     a breach of this Agreement.

14.  Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be governed by and
     construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without giving effect to
     that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this
     Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent
     jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
     provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent
     of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced,
     such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of
     this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or
     unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never
     been contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the
     value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain
     for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the
     presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding,
     then this Agreement will not be enforceable against such affected party and
     both parties agree to renegotiate such provision(s) in good faith.

15.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
     each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original,
     and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

16.  Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and headings of this Agreement
     are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in
     interpreting or construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically
     stated, all references herein to "sections" and "exhibits" will mean
     "sections" and "exhibits" to this Agreement.

                                       14

17.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein
     ----------------
     constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with
     respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior
     understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among
     the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.

18.  Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
     ---------------------
     agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. No amendment of or waiver
     of, or modification of any obligation under this Agreement will be
     enforceable unless set forth in a writing signed by the party against which
     enforcement is sought. Any amendment effected in accordance with this
     section will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their
     respective successors and assigns. No delay or failure to require
     performance of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of
     that provision as to that or any other instance. No waiver granted under
     this Agreement as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent
     waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein, nor shall it
     constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance
     specifically waived.

19.  Successors and Assigns; Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this
     ----------------------------------
     Agreement, this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties
     hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their
     respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal
     representatives. The Company may assign any of its rights and obligations
     under this Agreement. No other party to this Agreement may assign, whether
     voluntarily or by operation of law, any of its rights and obligations under
     this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

20.  Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further documents and
     ------------------
     instruments and to take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary
     to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

21.  Not Employment Contract. I understand that this Agreement does not
     -----------------------
     constitute a contract of employment or obligate the Company to employ me
     for any stated period of time.

                                       15

Exhibit C

                              Non-Compete Agreement

Dear Jieqiang Li,

     As an employee of Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (as
contemplated in the employment agreement between Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd. and
you (the "Employment Agreement")), or with any of its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates (as defined in the Employment Agreement, Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd.
and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, collectively, the "Company"), you must
execute and deliver a covenant not to compete with the Company during your
employment and for 12 months thereafter. The terms and conditions set forth
below, as applicable, shall, upon your acceptance thereof, become an agreement
between you and the Company.

Covenant Not to Compete

     It is hereby agreed that, from the date hereof and so long as you are an
employee, consultant or serve in a similar capacity with the Company, you shall
devote substantially all of your professional time to the Company and shall not
participate in any manner in the management or operation of any business other
than that of the Company or serving on the board of directors of the Company.

     If you are no longer employed by or acting as a consultant for the Company,
you shall not be employed by or participate in any manner in the management or
operation of any business or entity that is or may reasonably become a
competitor of the Company until 12 months after the date of termination of
employment with the Company.

Company Rights if You Violate this Agreement

     In the event that you do not comply with the terms of this Agreement, any
profit sharing or stock options to which you would otherwise be entitled will be
forfeited.

     In the event you do not comply with the terms of this Agreement, we also
reserve the right to discharge you as an employee. Furthermore, we reserve the
right to recover monetary damages from you, and we may also recover punitive
damages to the extent permitted by law. In the event that monetary damages are
an inadequate remedy for any harm suffered by us as a result of a breach of this
Agreement by you, we may also seek other relief, including an order of specific
performance or injunctive relief. You will not seek, and you agree to waive any
requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with our
seeking or obtaining such relief.

     You further agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any damages,
losses, costs or liabilities (including legal fees and the costs of enforcing
this indemnity agreement) arising out of or resulting from your failure to abide
by the terms of this Agreement.

                                       17

<PAGE>

At-Will Employment

     You agree and understand that, except as may be provided in any employment
agreement between you and the Company, your employment with the Company is
"at-will," meaning that it is not for any specified period of time and can be
terminated by you or by the Company at any time, with or without advance notice,
and for any or no particular reason or cause. You agree and understand that it
also means that job duties, title and responsibility and reporting level,
compensation and benefits, as well as the Company's personnel policies and
procedures, may be changed at any time at-will by the Company. You understand
and agree that nothing about the fact or the content of this Agreement is
intended to, nor should be construed to, alter the at-will nature of your
employment with the Company. You also understand and agree that the at-will
nature of employment with the Company can only be changed by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company in an express writing signed and dated by him and by you.

Acknowledgment

     You agree that, in light of the substantial benefits you will receive as
our employee, the terms contained in this Agreement are necessary and reasonable
in all respects and that the restrictions imposed on you are reasonable and
necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. Additionally, you hereby
acknowledge and agree that the restrictions imposed on you by this Agreement
will not prevent you from obtaining employment in your field of expertise or
cause you undue hardship.

Governing Law

     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the New York, without regard to any conflicts of laws provision thereof.

     By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that, given the nature of the
Company's business, the provisions contained in this Agreement contain
reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be
restrained, and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect
and preserve the Company and to protect the Company's legitimate interests. If,
however, the provisions of this Agreement are determined by any court of
competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator to be unenforceable by reason of its
extending for too long a period of time or over too large a geographic area or
by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, or for any other
reason, it will be interpreted to extend only over the longest period of time
for which it may be enforceable and over the largest geographical area as to
which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other aspects as to
which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court or arbitrator in
such action.

     Please confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning
directly to the undersigned the duplicate copy of this letter enclosed herewith.
