endorsement of Contracting Employee by (or affiliation with) Blackstone. Furthermore, Contracting

affiliated or endeavors to establish, nor any other employee, agent or representative of such firm or fund,
use any Blackstone Work Product or other IPR, including the names of any Blackstone Entities,
trademarks, logos, trade dress and other source identifiers, or other matters pertaining to the branding of
Blackstone, to impersonate, misrepresent or otherwise misappropriate the name or brand of Blackstone.
