directors, officers, managers, employees, accountants, attorneys and professional advisors of the Black
Family Members, McCaffrey, and the Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as "Permitted Black Family

Licensed IP in no way diminishes or alters the trade secret status of such Licensed IP, said copyright
notice serving the sole purpose of identifying STC's copyright in the underlying material.
11. Confidentiality of Trade Secrets.
(a) Due to the importance and sensitivity of the Trade Secrets, each Black Family
Member agrees that the Black Family Members shall: (i) not directly or indirectly sell, alienate, transfer,
assign, disclose or divulge Trade Secrets to any person or entity, nor permit any Permitted Black Family
Recipients or any Third Party to do so, without STC's prior, written permission; (ii) not permit any Third
Party to operate, maintain or have access to the Licensed IP so that such Third Party could receive access
to Trade Secrets, except for those Third Parties who execute confidentiality agreements in accordance

which the Black Family Members receive or create that includes, makes reference to or otherwise
concerns the Licensed IP segregated in a retention area designated solely for the Licensed IP and

Permitted Black Family Recipients and the Permitted Third Parties with a specific need to know or use
the Licensed IP; (iv) provide written notice of the location of such retention area to STC; (v) provide

Licensed Purpose.
(b) The Black Family Members shall notify STC of any information which comes to
the attention of any Black Family Member which does or might indicate that there has been any loss of
confidentiality concerning Trade Secrets. In such event, the Black Family Members shall take all steps
within the power of the Black Family Members to limit the spread of such information in violation of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, taking whatever legal action is necessary to terminate such
spread. STC, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to take over and assume control of any such
litigation, by providing the Black Family Members with written notice of its decision to do so, and the
Black Family Members shall cooperate fully with STC in such litigation.
(c) Each Black Family Member covenants that none of the Black Family Members
shall, directly or indirectly, claim, attack, compromise, file suit against or commit, or permit, assist or

(d) If any of the Black Family Members, any Black Family Recipients, or any
Permitted Third Parties breach any provisions contained in this Section 11, the Black Family Members (in
the case of breaches by any Black Family Members or any Permitted Black Family Recipients) and/or the
breaching Permitted Third Parties shall pay STC's actual, direct, indirect and consequential damages
which arise from or are associated with such breach. In determining the damages identified in this
Agreement, the parties considered: (i) the value, type and quality of the Trade Secrets; (ii) the substantial
amount of time, effort and cost which STC invested to develop and will continue to invest to maintain the
Trade Secrets; and (iii) the confidential and unique nature of the Trade Secrets. In addition to the
aforesaid money damages, if STC prevails in any action or claim based upon a breach of this Section 11
by any of the Black Family Members, any of the Permitted Black Family Recipients or any of the
Permitted Third Parties, the Black Family Members (in the case of breaches by any Black Family
Members or any Permitted Black Family Recipients) and/or the breaching Permitted Third Parties shall
pay STC's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and investigation costs which arise from or are
associated with such breaches or STC's attempts to enforce any provisions of this Section 11. Each Black
Family Member and each Permitted Third Party agrees that the aforesaid stipulated damages solely
constitute a component of STC's monetary damages, and are not to the exclusion of any other damages
STC may suffer.
(e) Each Black Family Member and each of the Permitted Third Parties acknowledges
and agrees that if any of the Black Family Members, any of the Permitted Black Family Recipients or any
Permitted Third Parties breach any provisions contained in this Section 11, it shall cause damage of an
irreparable and continuing nature to STC, for which money damages will not provide adequate relief.
Therefore, in addition to any money damages to which STC is entitled, STC also is entitled to obtain
injunctive relief (including, but not limited to, immediate entry of a temporary restraining order) to
prohibit the continuing breach of the applicable provisions. STC shall have the right to obtain such relief
without having to prove any damages or post any bond.
(f) The obligations of each and all of the Black Family Members and each and all of
the Permitted Third Parties under this Section 11, shall survive the termination of the Ancillary License,
this Agreement or any of this Agreement's provisions, for any reason.

Algorithms, regardless of their nature and the source from which they emanate, shall be confidential and
held by STC subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions contained in the McCaffrey
Letter.

modifications and amendments to this Agreement as the Black Family Representative, in his discretion,
