Executive agrees that during the course of his employment with Employer, he will have access to and learn trade secrets and other non-public, confidential, and/or proprietary information concerning the business (including but not limited to its employees, services, practices or policies) of Employer and its affiliates (collectively, “ Confidential Information ”). Executive promises never to make use of, disclose, or divulge any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, except to the extent such use or disclosure is (i) necessary to the performance of this Agreement and in furtherance of Employer’s best interests, (ii) lawfully and publicly obtainable from other sources through no fault or breach of Executive, or (iii) authorized in writing by Employer. All records, files, documents, drawings, specifications, software, computerized data and information on any medium, equipment, and similar items or materials containing Confidential Information or otherwise relating to the business of Employer or its affiliates, including without limitation all records relating to customers (collectively, “ Employer Materials ”), whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into Executive’s possession, shall remain the exclusive property of Employer or such affiliates. Upon termination of employment, Executive agrees to promptly deliver to Employer all Employer Materials in the possession or under the control of Executive. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the expiration, suspension or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Executive promises that if he ever becomes legally compelled (for example, by court order or subpoena) to disclose any Confidential Information or Employer Materials, he will notify Employer as soon as possible after learning of the requested disclosure and, prior to disclosing any such information or materials, cooperate fully with Employer in its pursuit of a protective order or other lawful efforts to resist disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include (a) the identity and contact information of Executive’s contacts, including those existing prior to commencement of his employment with Employer or developed during his employment, or (b) information already known by Executive prior to his employment with Employer or its affiliates.
