Non-Disclosure
Agreement

The parties wish to explore a potential business relationship and, in connection with that exploration, LexCrypta may disclose certain Confidential Information to the Recipient. This Agreement governs the use and protection of that information.

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by LexCrypta to the Recipient, whether oral, written, or in electronic form, including but not limited to:

• Proprietary technology, software, source code, algorithms, and intelligence libraries
• Business strategies, financial projections, pricing, and investment terms
• Client relationships, partnership arrangements, and commercial pipelines
• Product roadmaps, research findings, and forensic methodologies
• Any other information designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the disclosure

The Recipient agrees to:

• Hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence using no less care than it uses for its own confidential information, and in no event less than reasonable care
• Not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of LexCrypta
• Use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating a potential business relationship with LexCrypta
• Notify LexCrypta promptly upon becoming aware of any unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information

The obligations of this Agreement do not apply to information that:

• Is or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of the Recipient
• Was rightfully in the Recipient's possession before disclosure by LexCrypta
• Is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Confidential Information
• Is required to be disclosed by applicable law or court order, provided the Recipient gives LexCrypta prompt written notice and cooperates to obtain a protective order

This Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date. Obligations with respect to trade secrets shall survive indefinitely.

Upon LexCrypta's written request, the Recipient shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information and certify such destruction in writing.

Nothing in this Agreement grants the Recipient any licence, right, title, or interest in or to the Confidential Information or any intellectual property of LexCrypta.

The parties agree that electronic execution of this Agreement — including typed name, captured timestamp, and geo-location data — constitutes a valid, legally binding signature for all purposes. The electronic record of this signature shall be retained by LexCrypta and is admissible as evidence of the Recipient's agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Michigan.
