Of course, we also expect that you will honor your obligation not to ever use or disclose the Company’s Confidential Information and trade secrets (Section 3) or make any disparaging statements about the Company and/or its officers and employees (Section 6).

Please also note that pursuant to Section 7 of your Confidentiality Agreement, you are required to immediately return to the Company upon termination all Company property and information within your possession, including Company credit cards, Company-owned and issued computers, cellular telephones, computer software, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), building passes, Company files, manuals, entry cards, keys, etc. Please immediately provide all such property and other information that is in your possession at this time, and make arrangements for the immediate return of all such property and information (including but not limited to electronically-stored information) that is at your office, residence, or some other location.

For your reference and convenience, we are providing you with copies of your Letter of Appointment, Stock Option Agreement, and Confidentiality Agreement. Please note that your resignation will be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Company and to your continuing obligations under your Letter of Appointment, Stock Option Agreement, and Confidentiality Agreement.
