I shall keep GSM's Confidential Information, whether or not prepared or developed by me, in the strictest confidence. I will not disclose such information to anyone outside GSM without GSM's prior written consent. Nor will I make use of any Confidential Information for my own purposes or the benefit of anyone other than GSM.

However, Volunteer/Intern shall have no obligation to treat as confidential any information which:

Volunteer/Intern's obligation to maintain the confidentiality and security of Confidential Information remains even after Volunteer/Intern's employment with GSM ends.

I release and hold harmless the Participating Entities and their employees from liability for any injury or illness I may sustain, including the aggravation of any prior existing injuries, except where such injury or illness was caused by the willful misconduct of a Participating Entity.
