          provisions of the Glove Agreement.

     2.3  Without affecting the generality of Clause 2.2, IT and IT PLC agree
          that the said waiver and release by IT and IT PLC will include and

          Agreement they have had access to and have been entrusted with
          information that is secret and confidential as defined in Clause 1 of
          the Glove Agreement as "Confidential Information" and that disclosure
          of such information (whether directly or indirectly) to actual or
          potential competitors of Wilshire or IT or their associates
          respectively could place it or them a serious competitive disadvantage
          and could do serious damage (whether financial or otherwise) to its or
          their business. Each of Wilshire and IT accordingly agrees that for a
          period of five (5) years from the date of this Agreement it will keep
          secret and not disclose either directly or indirectly to any third
          party nor use for its own purposes, and will use its reasonable
          endeavors to prohibit any unauthorized disclosure of, any Confidential
          Information provided to it by IT or Wilshire (as the case may be) save
          that the above provisions of this Clause 2.4 shall not apply to any
          information which: -

          2.4.1     is as the date of this Agreement or at any time after the
                    date of this Agreement comes into the public domain other
                    than through breach of this Clause 2.4 by Wilshire or its
                    employees or contractors or by IT or its employees or
                    contractors; or

          2.4.2     can be shown by Wilshire to the reasonable satisfaction of
                    IT to have been known by Wilshire before disclosure to IT by
                    Wilshire, and vice versa; or

          2.4.3     Subsequently comes lawfully into the possession of Wilshire
                    or IT from a third party.
