Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Except as required in the conduct of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ business or as expressly authorized in writing on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Employee shall not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information during the period of his employment with the Company. In addition, following the termination for any reason of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information. This prohibition does not apply to Confidential Information after it has become generally known in the industry in which the Company conducts its business. This prohibition also does not prohibit Employee’s use of general skills and know-how acquired during and prior to employment by the Company, as long as such use does not involve the use or disclosure of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

Confidential Information of Company. Subject to paragraph 5, Employee will not disclose to anyone or use, directly or indirectly, after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company, except with the written consent of the Company. “Confidential Information” is defined herein to mean trade secrets, know-how, and other information, not generally known, relating to the Company's business which was disclosed to Employee or with which Employee became familiar during Employee’s term of employment with the Company (including information conceived, originated, discovered or developed in whole or in part by Employee). “Confidential Information” includes information relating to the Company's business practices and prospective business interests, including, but not limited to, customer lists, forecasts, business and strategic plans, financial and sales information, products, processes, equipment, manufacturing operations, marketing programs, research, product development, engineering, computer systems and software, and personnel records. This obligation shall continue until such Confidential Information becomes generally known to the public without participation on Employee’s part.

During Employee’s employment and any time thereafter, except as may be required by law, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, disseminate, reveal, divulge, discuss, copy or otherwise use or suffer to be used, any Confidential Information other than in the authorized scope of Employee’s employment. Upon termination of employment, no matter what the reason for such termination, and at any other time upon the request of any Company Group member, Employee shall immediately return any and all Confidential Information, and all other materials, property and information in tangible or electronic form concerning the business and affairs of the Company Group and/or its customers.

Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information: During the Employment Period, Executive agrees to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and trust for the sole benefit of the Company and Executive agrees that Executive will not disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside of the Company, and Executive will not use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from Company premises Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to carry out Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company. After Executive’s employment with the Company ends, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity, except as authorized in advance by an officer of the Company in writing. The restrictions in this subparagraph, however, will not apply to Confidential Information that is or has become known to the public generally through no fault of or breach by Executive, or was previously known to Executive other than as a result of employment with the Company.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Employee shall not at any time during the Employment Period or thereafter disclose to others or use any trade secrets or any other confidential information belonging to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, plans, programs and non-public information relating to customers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, except as may be required to perform the Employee’s duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of the Employee’s employment and consulting with the Corporation, provided that after the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Corporation, the restrictions contained in this Section 8 shall not apply to any such trade secret or confidential information which becomes generally known in the trade.

Confidentiality Restrictions. Employee agrees at all times to use all reasonable means to keep Confidential Information secret and confidential. Employee shall not at any time (including during and after termination of her employment with the Company) use, disclose, duplicate, record, or in any other manner reproduce in whole or in part any Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of the Company. Employee shall not at any time provide services to any person or entity if providing such services would require or likely result in her using or disclosing Confidential Information. Upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or upon Company’s earlier request, Employee shall immediately return to the Company all originals and copies of Confidential Information and other Company materials and property in Employee’s possession. Employee acknowledges that use or disclosure of any of the Company’s confidential or proprietary information in violation of this Agreement would have a materially detrimental effect upon the Company, the monetary loss from which would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.

During the period of Employee’s employment with the Company and for an indefinite period thereafter, the Employee will not use, disclose to others, or publish or otherwise make available to any other party any inventions or any confidential business information about the affairs of the Company, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the Company’s products, methods, engineering designs and standards, analytical techniques, technical information, customer information, employee information, and other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company. Employee agrees to hold and keep as confidential the Company’s books, papers, letters, formulas, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts, software and other documents, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company’s business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company, at any time, to deliver the same to the Company within twenty four (24) hours of such termination or demand. However, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Employee from using such confidential information or disclosing such information to those with a need to know such information to perform his job duties for the Company; from disclosing such confidential information as required by law or subpoena; or from testifying truthfully in any proceeding. Additionally, confidential information shall not include information # that is or shall become generally available to the public other than as a result of the Employee’s unauthorized disclosure, # that was or becomes available to Employee on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company, or # that was developed by or for Employee independently of, and without the use of, any confidential information.
