SECTION 1. Confidentiality.

Confidential Information. In addition to all duties of loyalty imposed on Executive by law, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and for 18 moths following the termination of such employment for any reason, Executive shall maintain Confidential Information in confidence and secrecy and shall not disclose Confidential Information or use it for the benefit of any person or organization (including Executive) other than the Company without the prior written consent of an authorized officer of the Company (except for disclosures to persons acting on the Company’s behalf with a need to know such information), under any circumstances where any Confidential Information so disclosed or used is reasonably likely to be used anywhere on behalf of any Competitive Business.

(b) Trade Secrets.

(c) Procedures. In the event that Executive is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, Executive will give the Company prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement, and Executive will cooperate with the Company’s efforts to obtain such protective order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Company waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement, Executive is permitted to furnish that Confidential Information or Trade Secrets which is legally required to be disclosed and will use
