The Company desires to retain Consultant as an independent contractor to perform consulting services for the Company and Consultant is willing to perform such services on terms set forth more fully below. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
     1. SERVICES AND COMPENSATION

     (b) Consultant will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, use the Company’s Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company or disclose the Company’s Confidential Information to any third party. Consultant further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information which (i) is known to Consultant at the time of disclosure to Consultant by the Company as evidenced by written records of Consultant, (ii) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant, or (iii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure.

     (a) This Agreement will terminate on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless extended by written agreement of both parties.
