6.2.7 | save as required by applicable law or regulation or in fulfilment of her duties as an employee of any Group Company, she will not communicate or divulge to any person or make use of and shall use her reasonable endeavours to prevent the publication, disclosure or unauthorised use of any Confidential Information concerning the business, finances or affairs of the Company or of any of the Subsidiaries or of any of their respective customers or suppliers; |
