    Key Highlights of the 6th Corporate Counsel ExchangeTM
    Continuing our trend of delivering the leading program for senior corporate legal professionals looking to reinforce
    their role as a strategic business partner to their organizations, we are excited to present the 6th Corporate Counsel
    ExchangeTM. Join your fellow C- and VP-level corporate counsel in deriving, analyzing and debating strategies for
    addressing the increasingly complex challenges in law department management, compliance, litigation, outside
    counsel management, intellectual property, labor relations and compensatory policies, global ethics and securities
    regulations in a forum that emphasizes the continuous evolution of your role from corporate defender to strategic
    business leader.

    Expanding upon the proven success of our acclaimed case study presentations, engaging, topical Brain WeaveTM
    discussions and valuable one-on-one strategy meetings, the 6th Corporate Counsel ExchangeTM introduces new
    avenues for fostering strategic learning, collaborative game plan development and interactive networking.

    Debuting at the upcoming Exchange is our series of Executive Roundtables, which enable participants to engage in
    targeted, close-knit conversations on topics of special relevance to their practices; the roundtables will be
    moderated by some of North America’s most accomplished general counsel. Also debuting will be our All-Star Panel,
    an interactive scenario setting led by past Corporate Counsel ExchangeTM speakers who received exemplary
    feedback for their corporate legal insights.

    This is not a Legal 101 tradeshow—this is an unparalleled, interactive opportunity that links you with a
    distinguished group of senior thought leaders in tackling the issues most important to chief legal officers.

                                   General counsel consistently underscore the value of aligning their legal teams with the strategies of the greater business, but the excess of
               Jeff Christianson   regulatory scrutiny and nuanced, company-specific development plans have spurred a demand for a more profound alignment. In many previous
               Senior Vice         instances, the notion of connecting business and legal has merely referred to an opportunity for executives to “impress” other senior leadership,
               President and       with chief executives and chief legal officers simply seeking seats at each other’s table. Although glamour and executive respect are important, as
               General Counsel     you pursue the real benefits of a transparent forum between the business and legal components of your corporation, your focus must turn to the

                                   •   Remove the “Big Brother” label by establishing the legal department as a peer-level resource that understands the employees’ needs and
                                       speaks the “company language”
                                   •   Assess business expansion plans in the context of the varying business units, identifying the internal legal ramifications of new product

    Tuesday, November 9, 2010   Interactive Roundtable: Pre-Empting Compliance Challenges on the Roadmap to Corporate
    9:15-10:15AM                Success
                                Designed to enhance the level of collaborative, strategic discussion afforded to participants in the Corporate Counsel Exchange, the IQPC Interactive
                                Roundtables allow executives to break off into small groups and engage in intimate conversations about those corporate legal issues of personalized
                                importance. Attendees will select two tables moderated by members of our expert faculty at which to participate over the course of this one hour
                                session (a half hour at each table).

                                Amid a wave of heightened SEC regulation, expanding employee-minded workplace legislation, tighter global ethics scrutiny and expansive
                                environmental and sustainability oversight, your pathway to success involves identifying the regulatory trends and subsequently pre-empting them
                                with wholly compliant operations and a readied legal team. Develop a roadmap for regulatory trends and a game plan for minimizing their impact in
                                our moderated interactive roundtables.
