The Executive shall not at any time during the Term hereof or at any time thereafter communicate, divulge, disclose, take, or use for himself any information, knowledge, data, or materials that were disclosed or obtained by the Executive during the Term (including, without limitation, any information and knowledge that was conceived, created, or developed by the Executive during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company) which is related to the Business and the Products and is not already generally known in the Company’s trade by competitors. This restriction on confidential information disclosure and use shall apply to knowledge or information which relates to the Business or the business of the Company’s customers and is in the nature of a business secret of the Company or the Company’s customers. Included within the scope of this restriction shall be the specific items identified in Section 11(h) hereof and any other information and matters designated by the Company (verbally or in writing) to be confidential during the Term hereof. The Company’s customers are third-party beneficiaries of the aforestated covenants in this Section 11(f) and shall have standing to enforce its terms and seek whatever equitable or legal remedy that is necessary to repay or avoid harm to them, including, but not limited to, any remedy available to the Company under this Agreement. The obligations of the Executive with respect to the disclosure and use of confidential information under this Section 11(f) shall cease to the extent such information becomes generally known in the Company’s trade by competitors through a means other than a breach of this Agreement by the Executive. In the event the Executive is required by any legal proceedings to disclose confidential information, the Executive shall provide the Company with prompt notice thereof so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive compliance by the Executive with the provisions hereof.
