                    (A)  While Employee is employed by Employer and for a period
                         of three years after termination of such employment for
                         reasons other than those set forth in subsections  7(B)
                         or (C) of this Agreement, Employee shall not divulge or

                         acquired by him while  employed by Employer  concerning
                         the  policies,   plans,   procedures  or  customers  of
                         Employer to any person, firm or corporation, other than
                         Employer or upon its written  request,  or use any such
                         trade secret or  confidential  information  directly or
                         indirectly  for  Employee's  own  benefit  or  for  the
                         benefit of any person,  firm or corporation  other than
                         Employer,  since such trade  secrets  and  confidential
                         information  are  confidential  and  shall at all times
                         remain the property of Employer.

                  (B)      If Employee's employment by Employer is
                           terminated for reasons other than those set forth in
                           subsections 7(B) or (C) of this Agreement, Employee
                           will turn over immediately thereafter to Employer all
                           business correspondence, letters, papers, reports,
                           customers' lists, financial statements,  credit
                           reports or other confidential information or
                           documents of Employer or its affiliates in the
                           possession or control of Employee, all of which
                           writings are and will continue to be the sole and
                           exclusive property of Employer or its affiliates.

                  If Employee's employment by Employer is terminated during the
                  Term of this Agreement for reasons set forth in subsections
                  7(B) or (C) of this Agreement, Employee shall have no
                  obligations to Employer with respect to trade secrets or
                  confidential information under this section 9."
