Non-Disclosure Agreements

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT: PROSPECTIVE SELLER
LiNQ Ventures, LLC | Sarasota, Florida

This Confidentiality Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into between LiNQ Ventures, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("LiNQ"), and the individual or entity accepting this Agreement electronically (the "Owner"). It is effective on the date the Owner submits the acceptance form below (the "Effective Date").

1. Purpose. The Owner is exploring a potential sale, recapitalization, or other transition of a business the Owner owns or controls (the "Company"). In connection with that evaluation, each party may disclose non-public information to the other. This Agreement protects that information in both directions.

2. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by either party, in any form, including: financial statements, tax returns, customer and supplier information, employee information, contracts, valuation analyses, deal terms, the identity of prospective buyers or counterparties, and the fact that the Owner is considering a transaction. Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, (b) was lawfully known to the receiving party before disclosure, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation, or (d) is independently developed without use of the disclosing party's information.

3. Obligations. Each party agrees to (a) hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence, (b) use it solely to evaluate and pursue the potential transaction, (c) not disclose it to anyone except representatives who need it for that purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this Agreement, and (d) be responsible for any breach by its representatives.

4. LiNQ's Specific Commitments to the Owner. LiNQ will not disclose the Company's identity, financial information, or the fact that the Owner is considering a transaction to any prospective buyer or other third party until that party has signed a non-disclosure agreement and, where appropriate, provided a buyer profile. LiNQ markets businesses on a blind basis until an NDA is in place.

5. Non-Solicitation. For two years following the Effective Date, neither party will solicit for employment any employee of the other party with whom it had contact through this engagement, except through general solicitations not targeted at such employees.

6. Return or Destruction. Upon written request, each party will promptly return or destroy the other party's Confidential Information and certify destruction upon request, except for copies retained automatically in routine electronic backups or as required by law, which remain subject to this Agreement.

7. Term. This Agreement remains in effect for three years from the Effective Date. Obligations regarding trade secrets continue for as long as the information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

8. No Obligation to Transact. Nothing in this Agreement obligates either party to enter into an engagement agreement or any transaction. No agency, brokerage, or advisory relationship is created by this Agreement alone.

9. Remedies. Each party acknowledges that a breach may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, and that the non-breaching party is entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies.

10. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Sarasota County, Florida.

11. General. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties.

12. Electronic Acceptance. By completing the required fields, checking the acceptance box, and submitting this form, the Owner intends to sign and be bound by this Agreement. The Owner agrees that this electronic acceptance has the same force and effect as a handwritten signature under the Florida Electronic Signature Act and the federal E-SIGN Act, and represents that they have authority to bind the entity on whose behalf they are accepting.

7. No Representations. Neither LiNQ nor any Company makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information.
