Confidential Information:

 

6.1. The parties hereto
recognize that a major need of the Company and the Consultant is to preserve their respective specialized knowledge, trade secrets,

trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the activities undertaken by the Company and Consultant
and their subsidiaries and Consultant’s affiliates. The disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would
be beneficial to them and detrimental to the Company or Consultant as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices,

the Company and Company being a client of Consultant, Consultant and/or Company has or will have access to, and will obtain, specialized
knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information (but not necessarily “insider” information) about the Company's

affiliates, sources or service providers without the specific written consent of Consultant for each such individual event, person,
entity or occurrence.
