Employee acknowledges and agrees that: the covenants in this section are necessary and essential to protect the Company’s Confidential Information, Trade Secrets and the goodwill in its customers and employees; the area, duration and scope of the covenants in this section are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company; they do not unduly oppress or restrict Employee’s ability to earn a livelihood in Employee’s chosen profession; they are not an undue restraint on Employee’s trade or any of the public interests that may be involved; good and valuable consideration exists for Employee’s agreement to be bound by such covenants; and the Company has a legitimate business purpose in requiring Employee to abide by the covenants set forth in this section.  
4.Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.
4.1Access and Use.  Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of Employee’s employment with the Company and exercise of Employee’s duties for the Company, Employee will have access to and will use certain Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, and that such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets constitute confidential and proprietary business information and/or Trade Secrets of the Company, all of which is the Company’s exclusive property.  Accordingly, Employee agrees that Employee will not, and will not permit any other person or entity to, directly or Indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company: (a) use Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company; (b) remove, copy, duplicate or otherwise reproduce any document or tangible item embodying or pertaining to any of the Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, except as required to perform responsibilities for Company; and (c) while employed and thereafter, publish, release, disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets by any communication, including oral, documentary, electronic or magnetic information transmittal device or media.   
4.2Duration of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.  This obligation of non-disclosure and non-use shall last so long as the information remains confidential.

Employee also understands that Trade Secrets are protected by statute and are not subject to any time limits.  Employee also agrees to contact the Company before using, disclosing, or distributing

Disclosures to attorneys, made under seal, or pursuant to court order are also protected in certain circumstances under said Act.
4.4Additional Legal Exceptions to Non-Disclosure Obligations.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation; especially with respect to a federal or state administrative agency (e.g., EEOC, equivalent state employment agency, etc.), or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order.  With respect to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Employee will promptly provide the General Counsel of the Company with written notice of any such order.  If the Company chooses to seek a protective order or other remedy, Employee will cooperate fully with the Company.  If the Company does not obtain a protective order or other remedy or waives compliance with certain provisions of this Agreement, Employee will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the written opinion of counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and will use its best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed Confidential Information.  In addition, nothing in this Agreement in any way prohibits or is intended to restrict or impede, and shall not be interpreted or understood as restricting or impeding, Employee from exercising Employee’s rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) or otherwise disclosing information as permitted by law.

Employee agrees not to incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Invention or Creative Works owned by Employee, or in which Employee has an interest, into a Company product, process, program, or machine, including any software code created or developed on the Company’s behalf or in which the Company has an ownership interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without the Company’s prior written consent.  “Prior Inventions” means all Inventions that were made by Employee prior to Employee’s employment with the Company, that belong to Employee and which relate to the Company’s current or proposed business, products, services, or

If the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever, including the Company’s inability after expending reasonable efforts to locate Employee or the Employee’s mental or physical incapacity, to secure Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations or other intellectual property rights (or on any document transferring ownership thereof) covering Inventions, Prior Inventions, or Creative Works assigned to the Company under this Agreement, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on Employee’s behalf and in Employee’s stead to execute and file any such applications and documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents or copyright registrations or transfers thereof with the same legal

9.Tolling.  The Company reserves the right to request, and Employee will not object, that a court of competent jurisdiction extend the Restricted Period for any period of time that Employee is in breach of this Agreement as a form of equitable relief so that the Company receives the full benefit of Employee’s promises in the restrictive covenants. 
10.Relief, Remedies and Enforcement.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Employee will cause serious and irreparable injury to the Company that will be difficult to quantify and that money damages alone will not adequately compensate the Company.

Employee further agrees that should Employee breach this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to any and all other legal or equitable remedies available to it, including the recovery and return of any amount paid to Employee to enter into this Agreement, the disgorgement of any profits, commissions, or fees realized by Employee, any subsequent employers, any business owned or operated by Employee, or any of Employee’s agents, heirs, or assigns.
