5. Reimbursement of Expenses. Subject to compliance with any applicable policies of the Company, as amended from time to time, Employee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement, within ten (10) days of submission to the Company of all reasonable supporting documentation, for all reasonable business expenses incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.
6. Confidentiality. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Proprietary Information (as hereinafter defined) is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. As a result, both during the Term and thereafter, Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, for any reason either directly or indirectly divulge to any third-party or use for his own benefit, or for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, any confidential, proprietary, business and technical information or trade secrets of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (“Proprietary Information”) revealed, obtained or developed in the course of his employment with the Company, unless and to the extent the Proprietary Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Employee’s acts or omissions. In the event that the Employee is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for Proprietary Information or documents in a court or administrative proceeding, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Employee will provide the Company prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may, at the Company’s expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other similar remedy or the receipt of a waiver from the Company, the Employee reasonably determines that disclosure of Proprietary Information is required to comply with such process or applicable law, the Employee may, without liability under this Agreement, disclose to the appropriate authority only that portion of the Proprietary Information which, on advice of counsel, he reasonably believes he is required to disclose.

All rights, title and interest in and to Proprietary Information and intellectual property developed by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates prior to, or during, the Term of Employment shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. During the term of employment, Employee shall not remove from the Company’s offices or premises any documents, records, notebooks, files, correspondence, reports, memoranda or similar materials of or containing Proprietary Information, or other materials or property of any kind belonging to the Company unless reasonably necessary or appropriate in accordance with the duties and responsibilities required by or appropriate for his Position and, in the event that such materials or property are removed, all of the foregoing shall be returned to their proper files or places of safekeeping as promptly as possible after the removal shall serve its specific purpose. Employee shall not make, retain, remove and/or distribute any copies of any of the foregoing for any reason whatsoever except as may be necessary in the discharge of his assigned duties and shall not divulge to any third person the nature of and/or contents of any of the foregoing or of any other oral or written information to which he may have access or with which for any reason he may become familiar, except as disclosure shall be necessary in the performance of his duties; and immediately following the termination of his employment with the Company, he shall return to the Company, or destroy at the Company’s direction, all originals and copies of the foregoing then in his possession, whether prepared by Employee or by others.
