CONFIDENTIALITY OF MR. BLACK'S INFORMATION. Mr. Epstein and STC (for purposes of this Section 3 and Sections 4, 5, and 6 hereof, the terms "Mr. Epstein" and "STC" being deemed to include all employees, representatives, agents, and entities affiliated with Mr. 3 EFTA00585601 Epstein and/or STC) agree that any and all information concerning Mr. Black or any Affiliates obtained in performing the Proprietary Services will be held in strictest confidence and will not be used by Mr. Epstein or STC or disclosed to any person or entity, except in the course of performing the Proprietary Services in furtherance of the Estate Planning. Mr. Epstein and STC further agree that they have been retained to assist Mr. Black's lawyers, Paul, Weiss, Rificind, Wharton & Garrison LLP ("Paul, Weiss") and McDermott, Will, & Emery ("McDermott"), in providing legal advice to Mr. Black in connection with the Estate Planning.

In connection with this retention, all communications between Mr. Epstein or STC, on the one hand, and any lawyer from Paul, Weiss or McDermott or Mr. Black, on the other hand, regarding the Estate Planning shall be regarded as confidential and made solely for the purpose of assisting Paul, Weiss and McDermott in giving legal advice to Mr. Black. In order for Mr. Epstein and STC to carry out their responsibilities, it may be necessary for Paul, Weiss, McDermott or Mr. Black to disclose to Mr. Epstein and STC privileged information and lawyers' work product, and other confidential information regarding Mr. Black and his Affiliates. Mr. Epstein and STC agree that, except as authorized by Paul, Weiss, McDermott or Mr. Black during and after the period of this retention, neither Mr. Epstein nor STC will disclose to any person or entity any such privileged or confidential information, lawyers' work product, opinions, facts, data or other confidential information so disclosed to Mr. Epstein or STC in connection with the Estate Planning. 4. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES. Mr. Black, for and on behalf of himself, and for and on behalf of his Affiliates, hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows: (a) Neither Mr. Epstein nor STC has any authority to, nor shall Mr. Epstein or STC, bind Mr. Black or any of his Affiliates, in contract or otherwise, or make any decisions or take any actions whatsoever on behalf of Mr. Black or any of his Affiliates under this Agreement, and neither Mr. Epstein nor STC is serving in any fiduciary capacity whatsoever to, for or on behalf of Mr. Black or any of his Affiliates. (b) The use of any and all information and materials obtained from Mr. Epstein or STC in connection with the Proprietary Services (which information and materials are proprietary to STC and the use of which is subject to the conditions, restrictions and other provisions set forth in Section 7 hereof) is at the sole risk of Mr. Black and his Affiliates, and each of Mr. Black and each of his Affiliates assumes the full risk and responsibility for any and all actions and decisions taken, or omitted to be taken, by or on behalf of Mr. Black or such Affiliates in connection with the Proprietary Services and any and all information and materials obtained from Mr. Epstein or STC in connection with the Proprietary Services. (c) The Services are provided without warranty of any kind, and each of Mr. Epstein and STC hereby expressly disclaim all representations, warranties, and guarantees with respect to the Proprietary Services and all information and materials provided by Mr. Epstein and STC in connection therewith, whether express or implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, of satisfactory quality, of fitness for a particular purpose and of accuracy. (d) Neither Mr. Epstein nor STC will under any circumstances be liable to Mr. Black or any of his Affiliates for any loss that Mr. Black or any of his Affiliates may incur as a result 4 EFTA00585602 of any decisions or actions taken, or omitted to be taken, in connection with the Proprietary Services and any and all information or materials obtained in connection with the Proprietary Services, other than as a result of Mr. Epstein's or STC's gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. Mr. Black agrees that the amount involved with respect to the Estate Planning, in and of itself, does not elevate Mr. Epstein's or STC's standard of care so that any type negligence would equate to gross negligence. (e) In no event shall Mr. Epstein or STC be liable for any injury, or any incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever, arising out of or related to the Proprietary Services or the use or failure to use any information or materials provided in connection with the Proprietary Services, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort or otherwise), and even if Mr. Epstein or STC has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 5. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Indemnity. Mr. Black agrees to indemnify Mr. Epstein and STC and hold Mr. Epstein and STC harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and third party costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, but excluding the business and operating expenses incurred by STC in performing the Proprietary Services) arising out of, or relating to, or connected with the Proprietary Services (except for any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost, fee or expense arising out of, or resulting from, any action or failure to act by Mr. Epstein or STC that constitutes fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of Mr. Epstein or STC). Mr. Black agrees that the amount involved with respect to the Estate Planning, in and of itself, does not elevate Mr. Epstein's or STC's standard of care so that any type negligence would equate to gross negligence. (b) Notice of Claim for Indemnity. Mr. Epstein and/or STC, as the case may be, shall advise Mr. Black of any such claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, fees or expenses promptly after receipt of notice thereof, specifying, to the extent known, the facts constituting the basis therefor and the amount asserted to be owed with respect to the same; provided, however, that Mr. Epstein's and STC's right to indemnification hereunder shall not be limited by their failure to promptly advise Mr. Black of any such liability or claim, except to the extent that Mr. Black is materially prejudiced by such failure. (c) Coverage of Indemnity. The coverage of the indemnification and hold harmless provided for in this Section 5 includes, without limitation, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and third party fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) in connection with claims, causes of action or liabilities asserted against Mr. Epstein and/or STC by any of Mr. Black and/or any of his Affiliates arising out of, relating to, or connected with, the Proprietary Services. The indemnification provided in this Section 5 shall survive the death, disability or incompetency of Mr. Black and shall be binding upon his estate and his personal representatives. (d) Defense of Indemnified Claims. Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) may, at his option, assume and take over the control of the defense and settlement of any such liability or claim, at his sole cost and expense with counsel of his choice (subject to any reasonable objections to such choice of counsel asserted by Mr. Epstein and STC); provided, however, that Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) shall not be entitled to assume or control the defense of a liability or claim if the interests of Mr. Epstein and/or STC, on the one hand, and of Mr. Black and/or any of his Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to such liability or claim are in 5 EFTA00585603 conflict with one another and, as a result, one firm or attorney could not represent both the interests of Mr. Epstein and/or STC and the interests of Mr. Black and/or such Affiliates, in connection with such liability or claim. If Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) assumes the defense of such liability or claim, Mr. Epstein and STC may participate in the settlement or defense thereof, at their sole expense through counsel chosen by them. Mr. Black agrees that Mr. Epstein and STC shall have the right to be consulted in connection with Mr. Black's (or the personal representatives of his estate's) settlement or defense of such liability or claim. In all events, Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) shall control the defense and settlement of such liability or claim. Neither Mr. Epstein nor STC may pay, settle or compromise any liability or claim for which either or both of them may claim an indemnification right hereunder without Mr. Black's (or the personal representatives of his estate's) consent. Each of Mr. Epstein, STC and Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) shall act towards each other in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with any such claim or liability, and reasonably cooperate with each other in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto. Any settlement of a claim or liability by Mr. Black (or the personal representatives of his estate) for which Mr. Epstein and/or STC have sought indemnification shall contain an unconditional release of such claim against Mr. Epstein and STC. 6. NO INVESTMENT ADVICE. Mr. Black acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the Proprietary Services, neither Mr. Epstein nor STC is acting in any way as an "investment advisor' (as such term is defined in and interpreted in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the interpretive releases issued in connection therewith) to Mr. Black or to any of the Affiliates, and neither Mr. Epstein nor STC is holding himself or itself out in any way whatsoever as being engaged in any business which directly or indirectly provides advice, recommendations, publications, writings, reports or analyses regarding any matter or thing which might cause either of them to be deemed an "investment advisor" as such term is so defined. Mr. Black further acknowledges and agrees that no part of the Proprietary Services constitutes or will constitute any advice, recommendations, publications, or writings whatsoever regarding: (a) the value of securities or the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities, (b) the relative advantages or disadvantages of investing in securities in general as compared to other investments; (c) any other matters relating to any specific securities or securities in general; (d) the selection of investment managers, or investment funds or entities; or (e) the allocation of certain percentages of assets to specific classes of securities, investment funds, or investment managers; or (f) any other activities or matters similar to those set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above. 7.

Mr. Black shall obtain STC's prior, written permission before using any Licensed IP and any Trade Secrets for any purpose, or for the benefit of any person, other than as contemplated by the Licensed Purpose. (iv) Solely in connection with the Licensed Purpose, Mr. Black and 7 EFTA00585605 permitted Affiliates may make copies of Licensed IP and Trade Secrets in printed or machine-readable form; provided, however, that any and all copies must include any and all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on any original Licensed IP and Trade Secrets, and Mr. Black shall maintain, and provide to STC upon demand, complete and accurate records of all copies of any and all Licensed IP and Trade Secrets made by Mr. Black and his Affiliates. (v) Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or except with the prior written permission of STC, neither Mr. Black nor any of his Affiliates shall disclose or permit access to, all or any part of the Licensed IP or Trade Secrets to any person or entity (a "Third Party"), other than those of the respective principals, trustees, directors, officers, managers, employees, accountants, attorneys and professional advisors of Mr. Black and his permitted Affiliates who are informed of the provisions of this Agreement and agree to strictly comply therewith (hereinafter referred to as "Permitted Recipients"), unless Mr. Black or the Affiliate seeking to so disclose or permit such access first discloses the identity of such Third Party to STC, receives STC's prior written approval of such Third Party, and causes such Third Party to execute a written acknowledgement in which such Third Party agrees for the benefit of Mr. Epstein and STC to strictly comply with the provisions contained in this Section 7. Mr. Black shall deliver to STC an executed, original version of each such acknowledgement within three (3) days after such Third Party executes the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any of the Licensed IP or any of the Trade Secrets be disclosed, nor shall access to any of the Licensed IP or any of the Trade Secrets be permitted, to any of Mr. Black's partners, any family members of such partners or any entities beneficially owned or controlled by such partners, whether as Permitted Recipients or otherwise, as such disclosure and access are strictly prohibited under this Agreement.

Injunctive Relief. Mr. Black, for and on behalf of Mr. Black, all of his Affiliates and all Permitted Recipients, acknowledges and agrees that if any of Mr. Black, any Affiliates and any Permitted Recipients breach any provisions contained in this Section 7, it shall cause damage of an irreparable and continuing nature to Mr. Epstein and STC, for which money damages will not provide adequate relief.
