unauthorized disclosure of such information;

5.3 In the event that the Employee is required by law, regulation or court order to
disclose any confidential information, he/she shall notify the Employer in
writing prior to making such disclosure and help the Employer obtain a
protective order or other appropriate remedy from the proper authority. The
Employee agrees that, if any disclosure is required by law, regulation or court
order and the Employer is unable on a timely basis to obtain a protective
order or other applicable remedy from the proper authority, he/she shall
furnish only that portion of the confidential information that is legally
required to be disclosed and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain
reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the
information disclosed;

5.4 All information, data, records, documents and other such items pertaining to
the Employer’s businesses, processes, products, marketing and research
