consented to in writing by such employer, person, or entity.
3. Third Party Information: I recognize that the Company has received and
in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or

maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only
for certain limited purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or
proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to
disclose it to any person, firm, or corporation or to use it except as
necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the
Company's agreement with such third party.
RETURNING COMPANY DOCUMENTS

equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned
items developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company or otherwise
belonging to the Company, its successors, or assigns.
REPRESENTATIONS
I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required to
carry out the terms of this Agreement. I represent that my performance of all
the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence
proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my

obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such
breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of
this Agreement. I further agree that no bond or other security shall be required
in obtaining such equitable relief and I hereby consent to the issuance of such
injunction and to the ordering of specific performance.

deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in
full force and effect.
