Buyer Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Next Home Experience · Global Petro Advisors, LLC

This agreement is between me, the buyer signing below ("I", "me" or the "Buyer"),                         , and Vasilios "Bill" Michailidis (the "Listing Broker"), Next Home Experience and Global Petro Advisors, LLC (together with the Listing Broker, "GPA"). GPA will reveal to me the names of various sellers and confidential information about businesses and real estate for sale. In exchange, I agree to the following.

One NDA for every listing. This one agreement covers any and all businesses, real estate and listings that GPA shares with me, now or in the future, for three (3) years from the date I sign. I do not need to sign a separate NDA for each listing. My promises about anything GPA shares with me continue as set out in section 10.

1. What is confidential

"Confidential Information" means everything GPA, a seller, or anyone acting for them shares with me about any business, its assets or its real estate that GPA presents to me, now or in the future (each a "Business"), its seller(s) or the deal, in any form: written, verbal, electronic, or seen on a visit. It includes the fact that the Business is for sale, its name and location, the identity of the seller(s), financial statements, tax returns, fuel volumes and margins, leases, supply and franchise agreements, employee information, records, studies and trade practices. It also includes anything GPA supplied to me before I signed, verbally or in writing. It does not include information I can show was already public through no fault of mine or my Representatives.

2. Confidentiality

2.1 I will hold all Confidential Information in SECRECY AND CONFIDENCE and use it only to assess the possible purchase or lease of the Business through GPA.

2.2 I will not disclose it, directly or indirectly, to any third party, except my direct support people (my attorney, accountant, lender, and partners or investors in the purchase) who need it to help me assess the purchase ("Representatives"). Before sharing, I will tell them it is confidential and that they must follow this agreement. I am responsible for any breach by my Representatives.

2.3 I will not use, or help others use, any Confidential Information for competitive trade purposes.

3. Non-circumvention

3.1 I will not circumvent GPA in any transaction or contract with the seller(s). Neither I, my Representatives, my affiliates, my family members, nor any company I own or control will deal with a seller, Business or property introduced by GPA except through GPA.

3.2 "Listing Broker" includes any services rendered as a business broker for a business and/or its assets, as a real estate agent for the purchase or lease of real estate, or a combination of these.

4. No direct contact

4.1 I will not contact the seller(s), or the Business's owners, officers, employees, landlord, suppliers, fuel distributor, franchisor or customers, about the Business or its sale without GPA's prior written consent. I will not visit the Business to ask about the sale.

4.2 All negotiations, inquiries, investigations, offers to purchase and letters of intent must be made through the Listing Broker, Next Home Experience and Global Petro Advisors, LLC.

5. Fee protection (3 years)

5.1 I have been advised that GPA is an agent for the seller(s). If I, my Representatives, my affiliates, or any company I own or control buy, lease or come into possession of the Business or its real estate during the listing term or within three (3) years from the date I sign, I will protect GPA's right to a fee under GPA's agreement with the seller(s).

5.2 If I interfere in any way with GPA's contractual right to fees from the seller(s), I will be personally liable for payment of ten percent (10%) of the purchase price, plus the cost of any and all legal and court costs.

6. No copies; return or destroy

I will not make copies of any of the material provided, except as needed to share it with my Representatives under section 2. If I discontinue interest in the Business, or whenever GPA asks, I will return or destroy all of it (including copies, notes and files on my devices) and confirm that in writing if GPA asks.

7. Proof of funds

I will provide GPA verification of funding or capital, as required, to show the seller(s) that I have the financial qualifications to proceed, in consideration of the seller(s) providing confidential financial information.

8. No warranties; no liability

The material and information furnished is believed to be reliable for the purpose of evaluating the Business, but it is not guaranteed, and I will do my own due diligence. Neither the seller(s), the Business, its officers, directors or employees, nor GPA shall have any liability as a result of furnishing me the material covered by this agreement.

9. Remedies

9.1 I agree that any breach of this agreement, directly or indirectly, will be harmful to GPA and the seller(s), and that money alone may not be enough to make up for it.

9.2 GPA may seek an injunction or other court order to stop or prevent a breach, without posting a bond, in addition to damages, the amount in section 5.2 and any other remedy the law allows. If GPA has to enforce this agreement, I will pay GPA's reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

10. How long this lasts

My confidentiality, non-circumvention and no-contact obligations have no end date. They continue whether or not I buy anything. The fee protection in section 5 runs for three (3) years from the date I sign.

11. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State where the Business or real estate is listed, and all actions that may arise in law and/or equity shall be brought in that State.

12. Electronic signature

I agree to sign this agreement electronically. My typed name, and my drawn signature if I add one, together with the date, time and device details recorded when I sign, are my legal signature and bind me the same as a handwritten signature. GPA will keep a signed copy, and I can ask for one at any time.

13. General

13.1 This agreement covers every Business that GPA discloses to me, now or later, so I only need to sign once. GPA may ask me to sign a fresh copy after three (3) years; until I do, this agreement keeps covering anything GPA shares with me.

13.2 If any part of this agreement cannot be enforced, the rest still applies, and that part will be enforced to the fullest extent the law allows.

13.3 This agreement can be changed only in a writing signed by GPA. If I sign for a company, I am bound personally as well as the company.
