Deal Room NDA

Effective date: May 29, 2026

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (this "Agreement") governs confidential information exchanged through the Canady Deal Room and in connection with any potential transaction. It is entered into between Canady Investments & Acquisitions and its affiliates ("Canady") and the individual or entity accessing the Deal Room or to whom Canady provides confidential information ("Counterparty"). Canady and Counterparty are each a "Party." By accessing the Deal Room, submitting or receiving information, or proceeding with a matter, Counterparty agrees to this Agreement. Where a separately signed NDA exists for a specific engagement, that signed agreement controls as to its subject matter.

1. PURPOSE
The Parties wish to exchange confidential information solely to evaluate, structure, and potentially execute a financing, capital placement, acquisition, disposition, or advisory transaction (the "Purpose").

2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by or on behalf of one Party (the "Discloser") to the other (the "Recipient"), in any form, including: deal terms, pricing, and structures; financial statements, projections, tax records, and bank information; business plans, operations, customers, and counterparties; property, asset, and entity information; the identity of lenders, capital sources, principals, and introduced parties; the Platform's proprietary methods, models, and architecture; and the existence and contents of the discussions themselves. Confidential Information includes information of third parties that a Party is permitted to disclose.

3. EXCLUSIONS
Confidential Information does not include information that the Recipient can demonstrate: (a) was or becomes public through no fault of the Recipient; (b) was rightfully known to the Recipient without confidentiality obligation before disclosure; (c) is rightfully received from a third party without breach of any obligation; or (d) is independently developed without use of or reference to the Discloser's Confidential Information.

4. OBLIGATIONS
The Recipient will: (a) use Confidential Information solely for the Purpose; (b) protect it with at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care; (c) not disclose it except to its officers, employees, affiliates, and professional advisors who need to know it for the Purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these (the Recipient remaining responsible for their compliance); and (d) not use it to compete with, reverse engineer, or disadvantage the Discloser.

5. NON-CIRCUMVENTION
For the duration of the discussions and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, Counterparty will not, directly or indirectly, use Confidential Information or any introduction made through the Deal Room to circumvent, bypass, or avoid Canady — including by transacting directly with any lender, capital source, investor, buyer, seller, or other party first introduced or identified to Counterparty by Canady — in a manner that would deprive Canady of fees or compensation it would otherwise be entitled to. This Section does not restrict relationships Counterparty can demonstrate predate and are independent of Canady's introduction.

6. COMPELLED DISCLOSURE
If the Recipient is legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, it will, to the extent legally permitted, give the Discloser prompt notice and reasonable cooperation so the Discloser may seek protection, and will disclose only the portion legally required.

7. NO LICENSE; NO OBLIGATION
All Confidential Information remains the property of the Discloser. No license or other right is granted except the limited right to use it for the Purpose. Nothing in this Agreement obligates either Party to proceed with any transaction, and no binding commitment arises unless and until a separate definitive agreement is executed.

8. NO WARRANTY
Confidential Information is provided "as is." Neither Party makes any warranty as to its accuracy or completeness, and neither Party is liable for the other's reliance on it except as set out in a definitive agreement.

9. RETURN OR DESTRUCTION
Upon the Discloser's written request or the conclusion of the Purpose, the Recipient will return or destroy Confidential Information in its possession, except for copies retained in routine backups or as required by law or recordkeeping policy, which remain subject to this Agreement.

10. TERM
This Agreement applies to Confidential Information exchanged while the Deal Room relationship is active and for three (3) years after the last disclosure; confidential information that constitutes a trade secret remains protected for as long as it qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law.

11. REMEDIES
The Parties agree that a breach may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate, and that the non-breaching Party is entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies, without the necessity of posting a bond.

12. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTES
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved consistent with the dispute-resolution and arbitration provisions of the Canady Terms of Service (binding arbitration seated in Dallas County, Texas), except that either Party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a state or federal court located in Dallas County, Texas, to protect Confidential Information.

13. GENERAL
This Agreement, together with the Canady Terms of Service and any signed engagement agreement, is the entire agreement of the Parties regarding confidentiality of information exchanged through the Deal Room. It may not be assigned without consent, except to an affiliate or successor. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. Electronic acceptance and signatures are valid and binding.
