        (&#8220;Confidential Information&#8221;), are valuable, special and unique assets of the

        part,
        disclose such secrets, information or know-how to any Person for any reason
        or
        purpose whatsoever, nor shall Employee make use of any such Confidential
        Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any Person (except

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the term of Employee&#8217;s employment the
        foregoing restrictions shall not apply to such secrets, information and know-how
        which are then in the public domain (provided that Employee was not responsible,
        directly or indirectly, for such secrets, information or know-how entering
        the

        hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the
        extent
        its disclosure is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in
        the
        event disclosure is required by applicable law, the Employee shall provide
        the
        Company with prompt notice of such requirement, prior to making any disclosure,
        so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. Employee agrees
        to
        hold as the Company&#8217;s property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, customer
        lists, processes, computer software, records, financial information, policy

        termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company at any time, to
        deliver the same to the Company. </font></div>
