1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Survey, "Confidential Information" means all non-public information, documents and materials provided by Client to Assessor for the purpose of the Assessment, including but not limited to contracts, corporate records, financial statements, intellectual property information and litigation materials. "Assessment" means the preliminary review, analysis and written summary performed by Assessor pursuant to Section 2.

2. SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT

Assessor will conduct a limited, non-exhaustive review of the Matters described by Client and will prepare a written assessment summarizing identified legal risks, potential exposures, and suggested next steps. The Assessment is preliminary in nature and is not a legal opinion or a substitute for a comprehensive legal investigation or formal legal advice.

3. CLIENT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Client represents and warrants that (a) it has the authority to disclose the Confidential Information furnished for the Assessment; (b) to the best of Client's knowledge, the Confidential Information is true, complete and accurate in all material respects; and (c) no disclosure of the Confidential Information to Assessor is prohibited by any contractual obligation or court order, except as disclosed to Assessor in writing.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

Assessor will maintain the Confidential Information in confidence and will not disclose such information to third parties except (i) as reasonably necessary to perform the Assessment, (ii) to professional advisors who are bound by confidentiality obligations, or (iii) as required by law or court order. This confidentiality obligation will continue for two (2) years from the date of this Survey, except for information that qualifies as legally privileged, trade secret or is otherwise protected under applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assessor may use aggregated, de-identified data derived from the Assessment for internal quality control, training and benchmarking so long as no Client-identifying information is disclosed.

7. FEES, LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER

The parties acknowledge that the Assessment is limited in scope and that Assessor's findings are based solely on materials and information provided by Client. Assessor makes no guarantees as to outcome or completeness. Client agrees that Assessor's liability for any claim arising out of or related to this Survey shall be limited to direct damages not to exceed the fees actually paid by Client for the Assessment.
