     In consideration of Employee’s employment or continued employment by Company and any additional compensation or benefits that Company may now or from time to time bestow upon Employee, Employee and Company agree as follows:

     1. Company Shall Provide Confidential Information. To the extent necessary to perform his or her duties hereunder, Company shall provide to and/or will give Employee access to pertinent Confidential Information (defined below) of Company. In addition, because of the nature of Employee’s duties and responsibilities to Company, Employee from time to time will have access or be exposed to certain other Confidential Information of Company.

     2. Employees Who Sell Company’s Products and Services. As used in this Agreement, the word “Employee” shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, Company’s Sales Agents and Sales Managers. In the event Employee deals, in any way, with Company’s customers, Employee agrees that the empathy, rapport and goodwill (collectively “goodwill”) he/she develops with Company’s customers are extremely valuable and necessary for the sale(s) of Company’s products and services to such customers and shall be deemed to be protectable and proprietary interests of Company and not of Employee.

     3. Company’s Confidential Information. Employee agrees that all of Company’s Confidential Information, whatever its nature and/or form and whether obtained by Employee orally, by observation, by exposure to customers or other persons, from written materials or otherwise, shall at all times be the exclusive and confidential property of Company and shall be at all times regarded, treated and protected as such by Employee in accordance with this Agreement. Further, Employee agrees that Company’s Confidential Information of which he/she learns at any time shall be deemed to have been provided by Company to Employee, in confidence, irrespective of whether or not Company provided same to Employee or whether prepared, discovered, developed or contributed to, wholly or in part, by Employee or any other individual or entity during Employee’s employment with Company or prior to such employment with Company. Employee agrees that such Confidential Information is not only the proprietary and protectable property of Company, but that it shall be treated and kept as secret by Employee at all times and any unauthorized use and/or disclosure of same, or any part thereof, will constitute a breach(es) of this Agreement and will constitute a breach(es) of Employee’s fiduciary duty to Company regarding the Confidential Information and will constitute a breach(es) of the confidential relationship between Company and Employee regarding the Confidential Information. Employee agrees that all of Company’s Confidential Information, including but not limited to, the specific items listed in paragraph 3, below, is not known to Company’s competitors and such competitors do not use such specific information in their business.

the secrecy of its Confidential Information items, such as, but not limited to, having its Employees enter into confidentiality agreements such as this Agreement, provided, however, that failure to xxxx any document “confidential,” or with word(s) of similar import, shall not affect the confidential nature of such document or the information contained thereon.
