2.     Confidentiality.

        I acknowledge that due to the nature of my employment and the position of trust that I hold with Hershey, I will have special access to, learn, be provided with, and in some cases will prepare and create for Hershey, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information relating to Hershey’s business, including, but not limited to, information about Hershey’s manufacturing processes; manuals, recipes and ingredient percentages; engineering drawings; product and process research and development; new product information; cost information; supplier data; strategic business information; marketing, financial and business development information, plans, forecasts, reports and budgets; customer information; new product strategies, plans and project activities; and acquisition and divestiture strategies, plans and project activities. I acknowledge and agree


that such information, whether or not in written form, is the exclusive property of Hershey, that it has been and will continue to be of critical importance to the business of Hershey, and that the disclosure of it to, or use by, competitors or others will cause Hershey substantial and irreparable harm. Accordingly, I will not, either during my employment or at any time after the termination (whether voluntary or involuntary) of my employment with Hershey, use, reproduce or disclose any trade secrets or other confidential information relating to the business of Hershey which is not generally available to the public, except as may be specially authorized and necessary in discharging my assigned duties as an employee of Hershey. I understand and agree that my obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any obligations I may already have under any Confidentiality Agreement or other agreement with Hershey relating to confidential information or under any applicable statute or at common law.
