Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the date signed below, between Knemonik LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company ("Knemonik"), and the individual or entity identified above ("Client," and together with Knemonik, the "Parties").

1. Definition of Confidential Information

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one Party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other Party (the "Receiving Party"), whether orally, in writing, electronically, or by any other means, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes but is not limited to:

• Knemonik's Confidential Information: Proprietary analytical methodologies, software, algorithms, AI models, data sources, investigation techniques, pricing structures, client lists, business strategies, and any non-public operational details.
• Client's Confidential Information: The Client's identity (if provided), the nature and subject matter of the engagement, case details, wallet addresses, entity information, documents, and all information submitted to Knemonik in connection with any investigation or service request.

2. Obligations of Receiving Party

Each Receiving Party agrees to:

• Hold the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no case less than reasonable care.
• Not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent, except as expressly permitted herein.
• Use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating or conducting the engagement described herein, and for no other purpose.
• Limit access to Confidential Information to those of its employees, contractors, or professional advisors (including licensed US Attorneys) who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Agreement.

3. Exceptions

Obligations under this Agreement do not apply to information that:

• Is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party;
• Was rightfully known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party;
• Is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information; or
• Is required to be disclosed by applicable law, court order, or government authority — provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice (where legally permitted) and reasonable cooperation to seek a protective order.

4. Special Provisions — Whistleblower Cases

Where the Client engages Knemonik for Whistleblower Support Services, additional protections apply:

• All case materials and the Client's identity are additionally protected under attorney-client privilege through Knemonik's coordinating US Attorney network.
• Knemonik will not voluntarily disclose the Client's involvement in any government submission to the subject of the investigation, any media, or any third party under any circumstances.
• Government agencies receiving submissions may be informed of the tip but not the Client's identity, unless required by law or at the Client's express written direction.

5. Term

This Agreement is effective from the date of execution and continues for a period of five (5) years from the date of last disclosure of Confidential Information, or for the duration of any ongoing engagement plus three (3) years following its conclusion, whichever is longer. Obligations with respect to trade secrets survive indefinitely.

6. Return or Destruction of Information

Upon written request by the Disclosing Party, or upon termination of the engagement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or certifiably destroy all tangible materials embodying Confidential Information. One copy may be retained by each Party's legal counsel for record-keeping purposes.

7. No License

Nothing in this Agreement grants either Party any license, right, or interest in the other Party's Confidential Information, intellectual property, or proprietary systems beyond what is expressly stated herein.

8. Remedies

Each Party acknowledges that a breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, either Party may seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedy in addition to any other remedies available at law, without the requirement of posting a bond.

9. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America. Any dispute arising hereunder shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware, except that either Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

10. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications regarding confidentiality. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both Parties.
