2. Confidentiality.
(a) Adviser agrees to take all necessary steps to retain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information, which shall be at least equal to those
measures Adviser takes to protect his, her or its own highly confidential information.
(b) Adviser acknowledges that the Confidential Information obtained
by Adviser pursuant to an Engagement is the property of the Protected Parties.
Therefore, Adviser agrees that Adviser shall not disclose, disseminate or discusss any
Confidential Information with any other person or entity or use for Adviser's own
purposes any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company,
unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters become generally known to and
available for use by the public other than as a result of Adviser's acts or omissions in
violation of this Agreement. Adviser further agrees to use Confidential Information only
for purposes of and in connection with an Engagement.
(c) In the event Adviser is required (by law, regulation, interrogatory,
request for information or documents, court order, subpoena, administrative proceeding,
inspection, audit, civil investigative demand or other legal, govemmantal or regulatory
2
EFTA01093060
process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Adviser may disclose such
Confidential Information but only to the extent necessary to meet such requirement.
Adviser shall, to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulation, notify the Company
prior to such disclosure by Adviser so that the Protected Parties may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy.
3. Return of Confidential Information. If at any time (whether during, or
following the termination of, the Engagement) the Company makes written request for
the return of Confidential Information, Adviser will promptly return the Confidential
Information (together with all copies or reproductions, electronic or otherwise, thereof) to
the Company.
4. Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon the Company's written
request (whether during, or following the termination of, an Engagement), the Adviser
will destroy, and cause its agents and representatives to destroy, all Confidential
Information (including all copies or reproductions, electronic or otherwise, thereof),
except as required to be maintained by law.
5. Breach. The Parties hereby mutually acknowledge that a breach of this
Agreement by Adviser would cause irreparable damage to the Protected Parties for which
no remedy at law would be adequate and, accordingly, in addition to any other remedy
(which in no way is hereby limited), each of the Protected Parties shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this
Agreement.
6. No Waiver. If in one or more instances either of the Parties fails to insist
that the other Party perform any of the terms of this Agreement, such failure shall not be
construed as a waiver by such Party of any past, present or future right granted under this
Agreement and the obligation of both Parties under this Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect.
7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the Parties with respect to the matters referred to herein, and no other agreement,
oral or otherwise, shall be binding between the Parties unless it is in writing and signed
by the Party against whom enforcement is sought. There are no promises,
representations, inducements or statements between the Parties other than those that are
expressly contained herein.
8. Governing Law; Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of New York, and the validity, interpretation, construction, and
performance of this Agreement in all respects shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New York without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. No provision of this
Agreement or any related document will be construed against or interpreted to the
disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority
by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such
provision.

9. Headings. Headings to paragraphs in this Agreement are for the
convenience of the Parties only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning
or interpretation hereof.
10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and subsequently any person or entity which succeeds to the
interests of the Parties (including their heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns). This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of the Protected Parties, their
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. The persons signing this
Agreement represent that they are authorized and empowered to so sign and to bind the
Parties and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, as the case may
be, to the terms of this Agreement.
II. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and
effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Adviser agrees that in the event that any
court of competent jurisdiction shall finally hold that any provision of this Agreement
(whether in whole or in part) is void or constitutes an unreasonable restriction against
Adviser, such provision shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed to be modified to
the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable for the longest
duration and the greatest scope as such court may determine constitutes a reasonable
restriction under the circumstances.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its
duly authorized officer, and Adviser has hereunto set his hand as of the day and year first
above written.
