Confidentiality.  In the course of the performance of Executive's duties hereunder, Executive recognizes and acknowledges that Executive may have access to certain confidential and proprietary information of Company or any of its affiliates.  Without the prior written consent of Company, Executive shall not disclose any such confidential or proprietary information to any person or firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, and shall not use such information, directly or indirectly, for Executive's own behalf or on behalf of any other party.  Executive agrees and affirms that all such information is the sole property of Company and that at the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement, at Company's written request, Executive shall promptly return to Company any and all such information so requested by Company.

The provisions of this Section 5 shall not, however, prohibit Executive from disclosing to others or using in any manner information that:

(iii)

(iv)
is required to be disclosed by law.

 
(b)
Non-Competition.  Executive agrees that he will not, for himself, on behalf of, or in conjunction with any person, firm, corporation or entity, either as principal, employee, shareholder, member, director, partner, consultant, owner or part-owner of any corporation, partnership or any other type of business entity, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any establishment which has live female nude or semi-nude entertainment (“Adult Entertainment Business”) or is in any business similar to or competitive with the Adult Entertainment Business presently conducted by the Company anywhere in the United States within a twenty (20) mile radius of any Adult Entertainment Business of the Company or any Adult Entertainment Business of the Company under construction, under contract, in development or leased by or to the Company, for a period of one (1) year (the “Non-Compete Period”) from the termination of this Agreement.  However, in the event of the termination of Executive's employment pursuant to Section 7(d) or 7(f), the Non-Compete Period shall be six months.

(i)
Due to the nature of the Company's business, the foregoing covenants place no greater restraint upon Executive than is reasonably necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Company;

 
(ii)
These covenants protect the legitimate interests of the Company and do not serve solely to limit the Company's future competition;
