Executive agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company disclose to any person, firm or corporation any "Confidential Information," of the Company which is now known to the Executive as a result of the Executive's employment or association with the Company, unless such disclosure is compelled by law or appropriate legal process or is made by Executive through proper initiation of, participation in or cooperation with a government agency’s investigative or enforcement process pursuant to the rights and protection of an applicable whistleblower law or in a related judicial proceeding. The foregoing shall not prohibit or impede the Executive from reporting an act or event, that the Executive in good faith believes is a violation of law, to a relevant law-enforcement agency (such as a federal, state or local law enforcement agency or official), or to a federal, state or local government agency, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the Department of Labor, or from cooperating in an investigation conducted by or communicating with such a government agency, or otherwise making disclosures to such an agency that are protected under federal, state or local whistleblower laws (“Permissible Disclosures”).
