This deed, and the terms contained in it, shall survive the termination of the Contract of Employment for any reason.

a) | The Executive undertakes that he will not either during his employment or at anytime afterwards without the Company's prior written consent: |
(1) | disclose any confidential information concerning the business of the Company or of any customer, supplier or other person having dealings with the Company other than to a person or organisation who has signed a Confidentiality Agreement in favour of the Company and to whom the Company has authorised such confidential information may be disclosed in the ordinary course of the Executive's work with or for the Company; or |
(2) | use any confidential information for any purpose other than in the ordinary course of the executive's work with the Company; or |
(3) | make misleading use of or misrepresentation of the Company's name for publicity or marketing purposes. |

(2) | on request from the Company to return, or destroy all documents, papers or records containing confidential information. |
d) | Each restriction in this clause is enforceable independently of each of the others and its validity is not affected if any of the others is invalid.

f) | The Executive must promptly disclose to the Company all copyright works, inventions, designs or other works incorporating any Intellectual Property Rights originated, conceived, written or made by the Executive either alone or with others (except only those works originated, conceived, written or made wholly outside the course of his employment with the Company and wholly unconnected with his employment) and shall until such rights shall be fully and absolutely vested in the Company in accordance with this clause 3 hold them in trust for the Company. |
