Executive acknowledges and admits that:
(i)
During the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will obtain, have access and be privy to information important to the Company's business, which information Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees to be confidential.

The Company will suffer substantial damage which will be difficult to compute if, during the period of her employment with the Company or thereafter, Executive should enter a business competitive with the Company or communicate, publish, disclose, divulge, use or authorize anyone else to communicate, publish, disclose, divulge or use, any Confidential Information.
(ii)
Such Customer and Supplier, Marketing, Financial, Technical, Operations and Strategic Information are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Confidential Information.” Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets are worthy of protection and are the sole property of the Company, and that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of the Company.

The Company’s Trade Secrets are also protected by law in addition to this Agreement.

In the event Executive is required to disclose any such information by court order, subpoena or other government process, then Executive shall promptly, but in no event more than three (3) business days after learning of such subpoena, court order, or other government process, notify, by personal delivery or by electronic means, confirmed by mail, the

To further safeguard both the Confidential Information and the business relationships of the Company, Executive acknowledges and admits that the Customer, Supplier, Marketing, Financial, Technical, Operations and Strategic Information as set out in Paragraph 7 above: (A) is provided in confidence, and (B) as between Company and Executive shall constitute “Trade Secrets” (as defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in, and/or as defined by the common law of, the applicable jurisdiction) of Company, and (C) that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure of any of Company’s Trade Secrets as herein defined and obtained by Executive during her employment with Company constitutes unfair competition. Executive promises not to engage in any unfair competition with Company.
c.
Executive agrees that in order to safeguard both the Confidential Information and the business relationships of the Company, Executive agrees as follows: all equipment, notebooks, documents, memoranda, reports, files, samples, books, correspondence, mailing lists, calendars, card files, contact lists and information, keys, identification cards, credit cards, and all other written, electronic and graphic records affecting or relating to the business of Company, regardless of the medium in which such information is stored shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Company.
