	The parties specifically agree that the Consultant will only provide the Services on and in response to a specific, written request for the Services issued to the Consultant by the Company.

	8.
	During the currency of this Agreement and at all times thereafter the Consultant specifically agrees that he will not disparage the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, products, or services; whether verbally, in writing, or otherwise. This clause is in no way intended to impact the Consultant should he be required to provide truthful testimony to any court or other tribunal in response to a subpoena or other legal process.

	In this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall include all confidential and proprietary information with respect to the Company’s businesses or the Services under this Agreement, including any information, written or oral, from one party (whether prepared by such party, its advisors, or otherwise) which is furnished to the other party by or on behalf of the first party or any analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents which reflect or are derived from such information.
