(express or implied) as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any Confidential
Information; Recipient will conduct Recipient’s own independent investigation and
analysis and will rely solely on Recipient’s own review and the advice of
Recipient’s professional advisors; Recipient has been advised to consult an EB-5
immigration attorney regarding all USCIS/EB-5 matters and other qualified advisors regarding
legal, tax, financial, and investment matters; and neither the Disclosing Party nor any of

to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any offering, if made, will be
made only pursuant to definitive offering documents and applicable securities laws. Nothing
in this Agreement obligates the Disclosing Party, any Affiliate, or Recipient to proceed
with any transaction or relationship.
8. Exclusions

or becomes publicly available through no fault of Recipient; is lawfully received from a
third party without restriction and without breach of any obligation to the Disclosing Party
or its Affiliates; is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to
Confidential Information; or is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order,

Disclosing Party and cooperates with efforts to limit the scope of disclosure.
8.2 If disclosure is required by law, regulation, or court order, Recipient will disclose
only that portion of the Confidential Information that Recipient is legally required to
disclose and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for
any Confidential Information so disclosed (including, where appropriate, seeking a
protective order), at the Disclosing Party’s expense if required by the applicable
authority.
9. Return / Destruction; Certification
Upon the Disclosing Party’s request, or upon Recipient’s decision not to proceed

and certify such destruction in writing if requested. Recipient may retain one archival copy
only to the extent required by applicable law or bona fide professional recordkeeping
requirements, provided such retained copy remains subject to this Agreement.
10. Remedies; Injunctive Relief
Recipient acknowledges that unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may
cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. Recipient

consistent with the applicable offering and subscription documents. Recipient’s
confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations under this Agreement shall survive (including
after any termination of discussions, withdrawal, rejection of a subscription, or completion
of the investment and/or immigration process) and shall continue for so long as the
Confidential Information remains nonpublic, except to the extent such information becomes
publicly available through no fault of Recipient. Without limiting the foregoing,
Recipient’s obligations with respect to any trade secret shall continue for so long as
such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

otherwise) are granted to Recipient under any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or

limited right to use Confidential Information solely for the Permitted Purpose in accordance
with this Agreement.

may collect, store, and process Recipient’s personal information and documents
submitted through the portal (including, as applicable, identification documents and
source-of-funds documentation) for purposes of onboarding, compliance, subscription
processing, investor relations, and administration of the offering and investment. Recipient
consents to such processing and to cross-border transfers of such information to the United
States and other jurisdictions where the Disclosing Party, its Affiliates, or their service

administration. Recipient acknowledges that additional privacy notices, consents, and terms
of use may apply to the portal and related services.
