    7.2           Confidentiality.
The Executive hereby agrees that the Executive will not, during the Term or at
any time thereafter directly or indirectly disclose or make available to any
person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose
whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below). The Executive
agrees that, upon termination of his employment with the Company, all
Confidential Information in his possession that is in written or other tangible

however, that the Executive shall not be obligated to treat as confidential, or
return to the Company copies of any Confidential Information that (i) was
publicly known at the time of disclosure to the Executive, (ii) becomes publicly
known or available thereafter other than by any means in violation of this
Agreement or any other duty owed to the Company by the Executive, or (iii) is
lawfully disclosed to the Executive by a third party.  As used in this
Agreement the term "Confidential Information" means information disclosed to the
Executive or known by the Executive as a consequence of or through his
relationship with the Company, about the owners, employees, business methods,
public relations methods, organization, procedures, property acquisition and
development, or finances, including, without limitation, information of or

a period of two (2) years following the date on which the Executive's employment
hereunder is terminated, the Executive shall not solicit or induce any of the

Company.

     

    7.5           Reasonableness
of Restrictions.  Each of sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 set out above is
acknowledged by Executive to be reasonable in duration, extent and application
and is the minimum protection necessary for the Company in respect of its
goodwill, Confidential Information, trade connections and
business.  Each of the covenants and obligations on Executive’s part
set out in sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 is deemed to be separate and severable and
enforceable by the Company accordingly. If any of the restrictions set out above
are held to be void but would be valid if part of the wording was deleted such
restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid
and effective.

    

    7.6           The
restrictions set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 hereof shall not apply if
the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof or in
the event that any form of compensation due Executive pursuant to the provisions
of Section 4 is not provided as required when due.

    

    7.7           In
the event of a breach by Executive of this Section 7, any obligations for
payment by the Company otherwise due pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be
void.
