regulation or pursuant to any administrative court order. The term “Confidential Information” shall not include (i) information which is generally available to the public or those in the Company’s industry as of the date of execution

Company or such subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company or any subsidiary. 
  
 (c) If, at the time of enforcement of this paragraph 6, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions
stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be
allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.
