NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

This Non-Disclosure Agreement (the Agreement), effective 28 April, 2014 (Effective


Date), is entered into by and between nepTune Technologies Inc. (nepTune) and
_______________________ (Recipient). In consideration of the covenants and conditions
contained herein, the parties hereby agree to the following:
1. Purpose: nepTune and Recipient wish to explore a business opportunity of mutual
interest (the Opportunity) and in connection with the Opportunity, nepTune has disclosed,
and may further disclose to Recipient certain confidential technical and business information
that nepTune desires Recipient to treat as confidential.
2. Definition.
(a) Confidential Information means any information disclosed by nepTune to
Recipient, including any information disclosed prior to the Effective Date, either directly or
indirectly in writing, electronically, orally or by inspection of tangible objects (including,
without limitation, research, product plans, products, services, equipment, customers,
markets, software, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, software configuration
information, marketing and finance documents), whether or not designated as confidential
at the time of disclosure. Confidential Information may also include information of a third
party that is in nepTunes possession and is disclosed to Recipient under this Agreement.
(b) Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not, however, include any
information that Recipient can establish (i) was publicly known and made generally available
in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure to Recipient by nepTune; (ii) becomes
publicly known and made generally available after disclosure to Recipient by nepTune
through no action or inaction of Recipient; or (iii) was already in the possession of Recipient,
without confidentiality restrictions, at the time of disclosure by nepTune as shown by
Recipients files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure.
(c) Compelled Disclosure. If the Recipient becomes legally compelled to disclose
the Confidential Information, the Recipient will provide nepTune prompt written notice so
that nepTune may seek a protective order, seek another appropriate remedy, or waive the
Recipients compliance with the Agreement. If nepTune waives the Recipients compliance
with the Agreement or fails to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, the
Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally
NEPTUNE TECHNOLOGIES INC.
required to be disclosed and will use its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for such
Confidential Information.
3. Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Recipient shall not use any Confidential Information
for any purpose except to evaluate and engage in discussions concerning the Opportunity.
Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information or permit Confidential Information to
be disclosed, either directly or indirectly, to any third party without nepTunes prior written
consent. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information or permit the disclosure of
Confidential Information to its employees, except that, subject to Section 4 below, Recipient
may disclose Confidential Information to those employees of Recipient who require the
information in order for Recipient to evaluate or engage in discussions concerning the
Opportunity. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information to any employee of
Recipient unless such employee has signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in
content at least as protective as the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential
Information to such employee. Recipient shall not reverse engineer, disassemble or
decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects that embody the Confidential
Information.
4. Maintenance of Confidentiality. Recipient shall take reasonable measures to protect
the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information.
Without limiting the foregoing, Recipient shall take at least those measures that it takes to
protect its own most highly confidential information. Recipient shall not make any copies of
the Confidential Information unless the same are previously approved in writing by nepTune.
Recipient shall reproduce nepTunes proprietary rights notices on any such approved copies,
in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original. Recipient shall
immediately notify nepTune in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Confidential Information.
5. No Obligation. Nothing herein shall obligate nepTune or Recipient to proceed with
any transaction between them, and each party reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
terminate the discussions contemplated by this Agreement concerning the Opportunity.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict nepTunes use or disclosure of its
own Confidential Information.
6. No Warranty. All confidential information is provided as is. nepTune makes no
warranties, express, implied or otherwise, regarding the accuracy, completeness or
performance of the confidential information and expressly disclaims all warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement of the intellectual
property rights of third parties.

7. Return of Materials. All documents and other tangible objects containing or
representing Confidential Information and all copies thereof that are in the possession or
control of Recipient shall be and remain the property of nepTune and shall be promptly
returned to nepTune or destroyed (with proof of such destruction), each upon nepTunes
request.
8. No License. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant any rights to Recipient
under any patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights of nepTune, nor shall this
Agreement grant Recipient any right in or to the Confidential Information except as
expressly set forth herein.
9. Term. The obligations of Recipient under this Agreement shall survive until such time
as all Confidential Information disclosed hereunder qualifies as one of the exceptions set
forth in Section 2(b) through no action or inaction of Recipient.
10. Remedies. Recipient agrees that any violation or threatened violation of this
Agreement will cause irreparable injury to nepTune, entitling nepTune to obtain injunctive
relief in addition to all legal remedies without showing or proving any actual damage and
without any bond required to be posted.
11. Recipient Information. nepTune does not wish to receive any confidential information
from Recipient, and nepTune assumes no obligation, either express or implied, with respect
to any information disclosed by Recipient.
12. Miscellaneous. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however that
nepTune may assign this Agreement to a party that succeeds to all or substantially all of
nepTunes business or assets relating to this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States
and the State of New York, without reference to conflict of laws principles. All disputes
arising out of this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the
state and federal courts located in Tompkins County, New York, and each party hereby
consents to the personal jurisdiction thereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the Opportunity and supersedes all prior written and oral
agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and neither
party shall have any obligation, express or implied by law, with respect to trade secret or
proprietary information of the other party except as set forth in this Agreement. If any
provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall
remain effective and enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law. No provision of this
Agreement may be waived except by a writing executed by the party against whom the

waiver is to be effective. A partys failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall
neither be construed as a waiver of the provision nor prevent the party from enforcing any
other provision of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or
otherwise modified except by a writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The parties
may execute this Agreement in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of
which together constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be delivered by
facsimile transmission, and facsimile copies of executed signature pages shall be binding as
originals.
