Dear Sir,
In connection with the opening and operation of accounts (the “Accounts”) by and

and Customer Firm Associates, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Customer Firm”), and the
investment of funds by Customer Firm with the Dealer, Customer Firm is furnishing to Dealer
certain organizational and financial documentation, and may provide additional information
concerning Customer Firm in the future, all of which are strictly confidential. By accepting such
information, Dealer agrees that any such information furnished to it by the employees or agents
of Customer Firm will be kept strictly confidential. Dealer agrees: (i) to maintain such
information in strict confidence; (ii) to protect the information with the same degree of care as it
would its own confidential information; (iii) to advise those persons to whom the information is
disclosed of their obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the information and require such
persons to be bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement; and (iv) to use the
information solely for purposes of evaluating Customer Firm pursuant to the Master Agreement

Dealer agrees to provide such information only to its officers, employees or
agents who need to know such information for the exclusive purpose of assisting in the

than Customer Firm or Customer Firm’s representatives, which source was itself not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with Customer Firm or Customer Firm’s representatives.
Dealer acknowledges that breach of this Confidentiality Agreement may cause
irreparable damage to Customer Firm, for which a remedy at law may not be adequate.
Accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach, Customer Firm shall be entitled to
2. appropriate injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other
remedies to which Customer Firm would otherwise be entitled.
This Confidentiality Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York.
This Confidentiality Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Customer Firm and
its respective successors and assigns and shall be binding upon Dealer and its agents,
representatives, successors and assigns.
Very truly yours,
