		b.	During the Term, the Company agrees that it will disclose to the Employee its confidential information
(“Confidential Information”) to the extent necessary for the Employee to carry out his obligations to the Company.
The Employee hereby covenants and agrees that he will not during the Term or thereafter disclose to any person not employed by
the Company and, then, only for the purpose of carrying out his and such employee’s obligations to the Company, or use in
any manner, any Confidential Information of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information”

or generally known to persons engaged in businesses similar or related to those of the Company).

 

Confidential
Information will include specifically, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’ s financial matters,
customers, employees, industry contracts, business plans, project development or work plans and all other information of a confidential
or proprietary nature, including that which is protected by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. For purposes of this Section 6, the
term “Company” will also include any Affiliate (collectively, the “Restricted Group”).

 

The
foregoing obligations imposed by this Section 6 will not apply (i) during the Term, in the course of the business of and for the
benefit of the Company, (ii) if such Confidential Information has become, through no fault of the Employee, generally known to

Employee hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term and for two year thereafter the Employee will not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, on behalf of the Employee or on behalf of any person, firm or company, directly or indirectly,

the circumstances, and further agree that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any such covenant is not reasonable
in any respect, such court will have the right, power, and authority to excise or modify any provision or provisions of such covenants
as to the court appear not reasonable in a manner acceptable to the Parties and to enforce the remainder of the covenants as so
amended.

 

		e.	The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for breach of
any of his obligations under this Section 6 would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach may not readily be
susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, the Employee acknowledges, consents, and agrees that, in addition
to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at law, in equity, or under this Agreement, upon adequate proof of his
violation of any such provision of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a
temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach, without the necessity of proof of actual damage.

any successor to the Company including, without limitation, any persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all
of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise (and such successor
will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable,
transferable, or delegable by the Company.

 

		b.	This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Employee and, upon the Employee’s
personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, and legatees. During the Term, this

by the Employee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer
contrary to this
