Pursuant to the Employment Agreement Ms. Hansen is bound by a perpetual confidentiality covenant with regards to Company Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement), one-year post-termination non-competition and customer non-solicitation covenants, and a two-year post-termination employee non-recruitment covenant.
