---

### 3. OBLIGATIONS OF RECIPIENT

**3.1 Standard of Care.** Recipient agrees to hold Discloser's Confidential Information in strict confidence and to exercise the same degree of care to prevent unauthorized disclosure, publication, or dissemination as Recipient uses for its own confidential information of like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care (and highest commercial diligence with respect to proprietary source code, model weights, and patent specifications).

**3.2 Permitted Purpose & Access.** Recipient shall use Discloser's Confidential Information solely and exclusively for the Purpose set forth herein. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party, except to its directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, and financial advisors (**"Representatives"**) who:
- (a) Have a bona fide need to know such information in connection with the Purpose;
- (b) Have been informed of the confidential and proprietary nature of the information; and
- (c) Are bound by written confidentiality agreements or professional ethical rules at least as protective of Discloser as this Agreement.

**3.3 Liability for Representatives.** Recipient shall remain strictly liable for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives.

- (a) Provide Discloser with immediate written notice (within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt) prior to making any disclosure, to enable Discloser to seek a protective order or appropriate remedy;
- (b) Reasonably cooperate with Discloser at Discloser's expense in resisting or narrowing such disclosure; and
- (c) If disclosure remains required, disclose only that portion of Confidential Information strictly legally mandated, and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure confidential treatment.

---

### 6. RETURN OR DESTRUCTION OF MATERIALS

Upon the written request of Discloser or upon termination of the Purpose, Recipient shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) business days):

---

### 8. TERM AND SURVIVAL

**8.1 Term.** This Agreement shall remain in effect for three (3) years from the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier by either Party upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice.

**8.2 Survival.** The obligations of confidentiality, non-use, and non-circumvention with respect to all Confidential Information disclosed during the term shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years from the date of disclosure; provided, however, that:
- (a) Any **Trade Secrets** of Discloser shall remain protected for as long as such information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law; and
- (b) Any **Patent Pending Inventions** and technical architectures disclosed by ManyMoats shall remain protected perpetually or until such inventions are published by the USPTO or Discloser without breach of this Agreement.
