4.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until the third  (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date. 

4.2 Renewal The term of this Agreement will automatically renew and be extended for three (3) additional  years, commencing on the last day of the immediately preceding expiration date, unless earlier terminated as  expressly permitted herein, or unless one party notifies the other party in writing of cancellation not less than  sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date. 

4.2 Suspension. If PURCHASER fails to pay any invoiced amounts (other than any portion of an invoice  that is subject to a bona fide dispute) within thirty (30) days of date of invoice, without limitation of its other  remedies hereunder, CIRCLEBLACK may, at its option and in its sole discretion, suspend in whole or in part,  provision of the BlackLogix Service to PURCHASER, and furthermore shall be excused from and relieved of  all of CIRCLEBLACK’s obligations under this Agreement. 

4.3 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach  of this Agreement by the other party, provided that the nonbreaching party has provided written notice to the  other party of the material breach, describing the breach in reasonable detail, and such breach remains  uncured for a period of (i) five (5) days with respect to a monetary or payment breach, or (ii) thirty (30) days  with respect to a non-monetary breach.

For purposes hereof, the “high water mark” means and refers to the highest monthly invoiced  amount. PURCHASER shall pay the Early Termination Fee to CIRCLEBLACK within thirty (30) days of the  termination date.

Neither party will have any right, power or authority, express or  implied, to bind or make representations on behalf of the other.
  2. Confidentiality.

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public,  confidential information and materials disclosed or made available by or through either party (each, a  “Disclosing Party”), whether in writing, electronically, orally or by another means, to the other party or its  Representatives (defined below) (each, a “Recipient”) including, without limitation: (i) information expressly  or implicitly marked or disclosed as confidential, including, without limitation, any information regarding  PURCHASER’s clients, all forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or  engineering information including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices, formulas, designs,  prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs or codes, whether tangible or  intangible, and whether or how stored, compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically, graphically,  photographically, or in writing; (ii) information customarily recognized as proprietary trade secrets; and (iii)  all embodiments or copies of any of the foregoing or any analyses, studies or reports that contain, are  based on, or reflect any of the foregoing.

7.2 Duties. At all times the Recipient shall protect and preserve the Confidential Information as  confidential, using no less care than that with which it protects and preserves its own highly confidential  and proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care). The Recipient may  disclose, distribute or disseminate the Confidential Information to any of its officers, directors, members,  managers, partners, employees, agents or other persons (its “Representatives”) provided that the Recipient  reasonably believes that those Representatives have a need to know and such Representatives are bound  by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. The Recipient shall not  disclose, distribute or disseminate, the Confidential Information to any third party, nor use for any  unauthorized purpose any Confidential Information, without the express prior written consent of the  Disclosing Party. The Recipient shall at all times remain responsible for any violations of this Agreement  by any of its Representatives.

7.3 Return of Confidential Information. Promptly following the request of the Disclosing Party, the  Recipient and its Representatives shall return to the Disclosing Party, or, at the Disclosing Party’s option,  destroy all materials that are in written, electronic or other tangible form (including, without limitation, all  written or printed documents, notes, memorandum, email, computer disks or tapes (whether machine or  user readable), or computer memory, (whether or not prepared by Recipient) that contain, summarize or  abstract any portion of the Confidential Information, including, without limitation, all copies, extracts and  derivations of such materials. In addition, upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient shall  certify to the Disclosing Party in writing the Recipient’s and its Representatives’ compliance with its  obligations pursuant to this Section 7. 

7.4 Ownership of Confidential Information. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, as between  the Recipient and the Disclosing Party, the Confidential Information, together with all intellectual property  rights embodied therein (including, but not limited to, all patent rights, inventions (whether patentable or  not), concepts, ideas, algorithms, formulae, processes, methods, techniques, copyrights, copyrightable  works, trade secrets, know-how, and trademarks), are the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing  Party. The Disclosing Party shall retain all rights and title to all proprietary rights in the Confidential  Information and to any other intellectual property owned or otherwise provided by the Disclosing Party. 

7.5 Exclusions from the Definition of “Confidential Information”. The term “Confidential Information”  does not include information which: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a  result of disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives (or any person to whom the Recipient or its  Representatives disclosed such information); (b) was known by the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the

 Page 3 of 15 11365871_3

Disclosing Party; (c) was independently developed by Recipient without use of the Confidential Information;  or (d) becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the  Disclosing Party, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement, confidentiality  obligation or fiduciary duty which prohibits disclosure and the Recipient has no reason to believe that such  source may be restricted from making such disclosure. 

7.6 Compelled Disclosure. In the event the Recipient becomes or may become legally compelled to  disclose any Confidential Information (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents,  subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process or otherwise), the Recipient shall provide to the  Disclosing Party prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek a  protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In  the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Disclosing Party waives  compliance with the provisions hereof, the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential  Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and shall use its best efforts to  ensure that confidential treatment shall be afforded such disclosed portion of the Confidential Information.

7.7 Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. The Recipient acknowledges that in the event of a  breach of this Agreement by the Recipient or its Representatives, substantial injury could result to the  Disclosing Party and money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the  event that the Recipient or its Representatives engage in, or threaten to engage in any act which violates  any provision of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies  which may be available to it under law, to injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary  restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of this  Agreement. The Disclosing Party shall not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with  the granting of any such relief.

7.8 Confidentiality. The obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use for unauthorized  purposes set forth in this Agreement shall survive the return and/or destruction of Confidential Information  and the termination or expiration of this Agreement for the longer of ten (10) years or for so long as such  Confidential Information, or portions thereof such as trade secrets, is protectible under applicable law. 

  1. Disclaimer.

8.1 Disclaimer. CIRCLEBLACK MAKES NO, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESSED,  IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE BLACKLOGIX SERVICE HEREUNDER,  AND, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CIRCLEBLACK SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES  OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND (SUBJECT TO SECTION 9.1) NON-INFRINGEMENT. CIRCLEBLACK DOES NOT WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE  UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. 

8.2 Limitations of Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY  CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND,  INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR  REPUTATION. Without limiting each party’s obligations under Section 9.1, each party agrees that the other  party’s total liability to the other party hereunder for any damages, regardless of the form, theory or cause of  action, will not exceed the total amount actually paid by PURCHASER for the BlackLogix Service during the  period of six months preceding the date of the event or act giving rise to the claim. The parties agree that  limitations and amounts stated herein are fair and reasonable under the circumstances and the parties’  respective understandings and expectations regarding this Agreement. 

8.3 Data Processing, Historical Data, and Performance Values. Upon receipt of PURCHASER’S  provider (custodian) data, CIRCLEBLACK will endeavor to load and process account data on a go-forward  basis. CIRCLEBLACK will also endeavor to provide performance values from the date the provider’s data is  first received by CIRCLEBLACK. If the PURCHASER has specific requested requirements for historical  data before the date the provider's data is first received by CIRCLEBLACK, the PURCHASER must notify  CIRCLEBLACK in writing and CIRCLEBLACK will endeavor to determine the scope of the project, and  CIRCLEBLACK and PURCHASER shall endeavor in good faith to enter into a separate professional

 Page 4 of 15 11365871_3

services agreement with respect thereto. 

8.4. Items Excluded from Breach. The parties understand, acknowledge and agree that the following list  of items do not constitute material breach by CIRCLEBLACK, as such items are considered ordinary  course system operations issues:

8.4.1 Outside financial institution aggregation re-verification and connection issues.  CircleBlack utilizes Yodlee for the aggregation of investor user’s accounts that are not managed by their  advisor. CircleBlack’s Yodlee integration allows investor users to input the credentials of their financial  institutions within the CircleBlack investor interface, Yodlee’s service retrieves the account data, and  delivers it to CircleBlack which then processes, calculates, and displays the data. Once the connection has  been established, CircleBlack and Yodlee process the account data on a daily basis. Periodically, the  financial institution will require the investor user to re-verify their credentials. Until the investor user re verifies their credentials, the financial institution will not deliver updated account data to Yodlee and then on  to CircleBlack. As a result, account balances will not be updated and performance calculation carries  forward the data from the last available date. When an investor user’s financial institution is in this status,  CircleBlack notifies investor users both via email notification and within the interface that their financial  institution’s credentials require re-verification. Additionally, Yodlee may experience connection issues with  or delays receiving data from a financial institution; this may also result in the delay of data delivery from  the financial institution to Yodlee and then on to CircleBlack. CircleBlack notifies investor users of this  status within the investor interface. 

8.4.2 Custodian data feed delays. On infrequent occasions, CircleBlack will not receive account  data from custodians during the overnight processing. As a result, account data and performance  calculations are carried forward from the previous day. CircleBlack displays delayed data icons on each  account and displays the data “as of” date within the CircleBlack interface. Once the updated data is  received, CircleBlack immediately processes and calculates the data to display the updated data.

8.4.3 Irregular, missing, and mismatched custodian data. On occasion, CircleBlack will receive  either irregular, missing, or mismatched account data. CircleBlack has instituted a number of checks and  protocols that notify the advisor when they attempt to generate a report for an account that has one of  these discrepancies. CircleBlack investigates, resolves the data error, depending on the specific issue, and  then notifies the advisor user of the resolution. 

  1. Indemnity.

9.1 Mutual Indemnification. Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) at its own expense, will defend or at its  option settle, any claim, suit or proceeding brought against the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) by a  third party, and will pay any damages and costs awarded in any such suit or proceeding or agreed to  settlement thereof, if the suit or proceeding is based on: (a) a claim of infringement of a trade secret or U.S.  copyright, patent or trademark of any third-party to the extent attributable to any service solution,  information or technology provided by the Indemnifying Party, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.2  below; (b) any use, sale, license, distribution or disclosure of Customer Data by the Indemnifying Party in  violation of this Agreement provided that this Section 9.1 shall not apply to any disclosure of Customer Data  resulting from third party unauthorized access; or (c) the Indemnifying Party’s failure to comply with all  applicable laws, rules and regulation; provided that in each case the Indemnified Party provides the  Indemnifying Party with (i) prompt written notice of such claim, (ii) exclusive control over the defense and  settlement of such claim, and (iii) proper and full information and assistance to settle or defend any such  claim. Notwithstanding any indemnification provision in this Agreement, neither party has a duty to  indemnify or hold harmless the other party and its officers and directors, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and  employees from or against any claim or action for injuries or damage to person or property or any other  damage or loss to the extent caused or contributed to by the act or failure to act of the other party and its  officers and directors, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and employees. All indemnification rights and  obligations under this Agreement are subject to the terms of the first sentence of Section 8.2.

9.2 Additional Remedies. Should any use of the BlackLogix Service be enjoined, or if CIRCLEBLACK  reasonably believes that the BlackLogix Service may be subject to an infringement claim, then  CIRCLEBLACK may, at its sole option and discretion, in satisfaction of its indemnification obligations  hereunder and otherwise: (A) procure the right to use the BlackLogix Service as provided herein; (B)

 Page 5 of 15 11365871_3

replace the BlackLogix Service with other non-infringing service with equivalent functionality; (C) suitably  modify the BlackLogix Service so that is does not infringe; or (D) if CIRCLEBLACK determines that none of  the foregoing is feasible, terminate this Agreement.

9.3 Sole Remedy. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9 STATE THE ENTIRE  LIABILITY AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY  UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTUAL OR  ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. 

  1. Governing Law. This Agreement (together with any and all modifications, extensions and amendments agreed to by the parties) and any and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the state of New Jersey applicable to agreements  made and to be performed entirely in such state, without giving effect to the conflict or choice of law principles  thereof. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce.  Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration  conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.,  Secs. 1-16).

 

  1. Dispute Resolution.

11.1 Mediation. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or  relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is  not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding  arbitration pursuant to Section 11.2 below. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and  the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief  requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from the  JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties agree that they will  participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises,  conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties,  their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are  confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other  proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall  not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may  initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration  at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the  written request for mediation, whichever occurs first ("Earliest Initiation Date"). The mediation may continue  after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date  shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional  remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation  is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to cooperate in the selection of mediators or scheduling  mediation proceedings as required hereunder. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon  the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such  action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

11.2 Arbitration. Subject to Section 11.1 above, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating  to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the  determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding  arbitration in New York City, New York before a single arbitrator, provided any dispute or claim involving a  dollar amount of $50,000 or greater will be before three arbitrators. The arbitration shall be administered by  JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be  entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional  remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties will be entitled to  reasonable discovery of essential matters as determined by the arbitrator(s). 

11.3 Fees and Costs. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) shall  award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing  party, including the arbitrator(s) fees and costs, in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator(s)  determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some  but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator(s) may award the prevailing party an appropriate

 Page 6 of 15 11365871_3

percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with  the arbitration.

11.4 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties agree and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of any  federal or state court located in Mercer County, New Jersey, to interpret and enforce the arbitration  provisions described in this Section 11.

  1. Solicitation and Hiring of Employees. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to not, directly or indirectly, employ or engage (or solicit for the same), whether as an employee, consultant or in any other capacity, any of the  other party’s employees, even if such employment or engagement arises or results from placement of job  advertisements in media of general circulation or other general human resource recruiting efforts. In the event of a  breach of this Section 12 by a party (the “Hiring Party”), the non-Hiring Party may, at its sole option, charge the  Hiring Party a fee (the “Hiring Fee”) equal to one year’s base salary of the subject employee hired or engaged by  the Hiring Party; and the Hiring Party shall pay the Hiring Fee to the non-Hiring Party within thirty (30) days of  written demand from the non-Hiring Party. The non-Hiring Party’s imposition of the Hiring Fee upon the Hiring  Party shall be made in lieu of pursuing any other remedy or relief against the Hiring Party, including equitable or  injunctive relief, and as liquidated damages resulting from such breach, which the parties agree constitutes a fair  and reasonable measure of the damages suffered by the non-Hiring Party in the event of such breach.
  2. General Provisions.

13.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement represents the entire  understanding and agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
