I hereby release them, as well as the Company, from any liability for requesting this information and for any statement they make responding to this request.

  4. I will (A) hold all confidential information, trade secrets and materials or records of a proprietary nature (such as the chop saw miter box, the bid template, the Company contract, all Company computer files, etc) of the company which are not generally known to the public (the "confidential Information") that I may learn and use during my employment with the Company in strictest confidence and not use or disclose the confidential information both during and following my termination of employment, (B) take all actions as the Company may reasonably request to safeguard the Confidential information and protect it from disclosure, misuse, loss or theft, and (C) return to the Company upon termination of my employment, all materials relating to the Company (including the confidential information) in my possession or control.
