Instructor  shall  be  obligated  to  comply  with  this  covenant  and  obligation.  
   
B.   Instructor   will   not   take   the   intellectual   property,   which   includes   the   materials  
that   are   copyrighted   or   subject   to   trade   secrets,   and   use   such   intellectual  
property  in  any  other  employment,  or  to  provide  such  intellectual  property  to  
any   other   person   or   entity   not   connected   with   University   insofar   as   such  
materials  are  either  not  publicly  distributed,  or  are  protected  by  copyright,  or  
other  intellectual  property  protections.    
 
C.   Instructor   agrees   to   comply   with   the   requirements   in   the   Confidentiality  
Agreement   attached   hereto   and   also   incorporated   herein   as   Exhibit   "A"

problems  and  answer  any  questions.  If  there  are  any  issues,  Instructor  has  the  
obligation  to  communicate  with  University  in  advance  to  ensure  that  there  will  
be   no   violation   of   the   provisions   of   this   Agreement,   including   the   intellectual  
property  provisions.  University  will  endeavor  to  work  in  good  faith  to  minimize  
any  problems  so  that,  in  University's  discretion,  arrangements  may  be  made,  if  
deemed   possible   by   University   in   its   discretion,   to   minimize   restrictions   and  
grant   Instructor   the   ability   to   seek   such   arrangements.   It   is   understood   and  
agreed  that  the  waiver  of  any  one  obligation  by  University  of  Instructor  will  not  
be  construed  to  waive  other  applicable  obligations  of  Instructor,  or  any  other  
Instructor,  and  exceptions  that  may  be  made  for  Instructor,  just  as  exceptions  
that  may  be  made  for  others  by  University,  will  not  set  a  precedent  or  entitle  
Instructor,  or  any  other  individual  or  entity,  to  maintain  that  there  was  a  waiver  
of  the  rights  of  University.  
 
10.  University   and   Instructor   also   agree   that   there   are   appropriate   educational  
requirements   and   regulations   that   the   State   of   Florida   has   imposed   and   may  
impose,  and  the  Parties  will  ensure  that  they  recognize  such  obligations  as  those  
additional  obligations  are  and  may  be  imposed  by  law  as  long  as  such  obligations  
are  consistent  with  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement.
