NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT INDIVIDUAL

THIS NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (this NDA) is made as of _______________________ (Effective Date) by


and between Riot Games, Inc., located at 2450 Broadway, Santa Monica CA 90404 (Riot), and
__________________________________, whose address is _______________________________________________
(Recipient, and Riot and Recipient each, a Party).
1. Scope of NDA. This NDA governs all disclosures of Confidential Information by Riot or any of its employees to
Recipient that have been made prior to the Effective Date or may be made in the future, including but not limited to,
disclosures made in the course of your visiting any Riot facility or exploring one or more strategic business
transactions with Riot. This NDA does not, however, obligate Riot to enter into any contractual agreement with
Recipient.
2. Term. The terms governing confidentiality in this NDA shall terminate on the date on which the professional
relationship between the Parties ends. However, Recipients obligations under this NDA with respect to Confidential
Information previously received shall survive for a period of three (3) years following the termination date of this NDA.
3. Definition. Confidential Information means, whether disclosed prior to, on or after the Effective Date, any
information transmitted to the Recipient by Riot or any of its employees, including but not limited to, software, all
works of authorship (such as documents, artworks, music, etc.), programs, algorithms, devices, methods, techniques
and processes, financial information and data, business plans, business strategies, marketing plans, customer lists,
price lists, cost information, information about employees, descriptions of inventions, process descriptions,
descriptions of technical know-how, information and descriptions of new products and new product development,
technical specifications and documentation, or any other information that is not generally known to, and cannot be
readily ascertained by others, and which has actual or potential economic value. Confidential Information shall also
expressly include the fact that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Parties, including the status of
such communications.
4. Non-use and Nondisclosure. The Recipient agrees not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other
than in furtherance of Riots objectives in connection with the engagement of Recipient and to further one or more
strategic business transactions with Riot (as applicable). Recipient shall retain all Confidential Information in the
strictest confidence, exercising at least the same standard of care used by Recipient to protect its own confidential or
proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), and take all reasonably necessary
precautions to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to any third party. However, Recipient may disclose
Confidential Information to those employees, consultants, and/or agents of Recipient that have a need to know such
information in order to carry out one or more strategic business transactions with Riot, provided that such persons are
bound by non-disclosure terms at least as stringent as those set forth in this NDA. Recipient shall be responsible to
Riot for any violations of confidentiality by such persons, and agrees to promptly notify Riot of any unauthorized
possession or use of Confidential Information which may come to its attention. Without limiting any of the foregoing,
visitors to any Riot facility are expressly prohibited from using any cameras, video cameras, or any other electronic
and/or digital recording devices without the prior express written permission from an authorized Riot representative.
5. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality under this NDA shall not apply to
Confidential Information that Recipient can prove: (i) is already known to Recipient at the time of disclosure; (ii) has
been independently developed by Recipient without reference to Riots Confidential Information; (iii) becomes or has
become publicly known through no wrongful action of Recipient; (iv) is lawfully obtained from a third party without any
breach of a confidentiality or other legal obligation or duty to Riot; (v) is approved for release by Riot in writing; or (vi)
is required by law, court or administrative order to be disclosed, provided that Recipient limits its disclosures to only
that portion of Confidential Information that its counsel reasonably advises that it is legally required to disclose and
promptly provides prior written notice of the order to Riot so that it may seek legal remedies to maintain the
confidentiality of such Confidential Information.
6. Return of Materials. At the request of Riot, the Recipient shall promptly return or destroy (and subsequently certify
as destroyed) any materials embodying Confidential Information which it received pursuant to this NDA, together with

NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

all copies of such materials. Notwithstanding the return of Confidential Information, Recipient will continue to be
bound by the obligations of confidentiality hereunder.
7. No License Granted. Nothing in this NDA is intended to grant Recipient any rights under any patent, copyright, trade
secret or other intellectual property right, nor shall this NDA grant Recipient any rights in or to Riots Confidential
Information except the limited right to review such Confidential Information solely for the purposes set forth in Section
1 and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4. All Confidential Information disclosed to Recipient under this
NDA shall remain the sole property of Riot. Recipient shall not attempt to derive source code, reverse engineer,
disassemble or decompile any materials that embody the Confidential Information. Further, Recipient shall not sell,
license, sublicense, rent, lease, grant a security interest, or commercially exploit the Confidential Information except
as authorized by Riot in writing. Nothing in this NDA shall limit or restrict the rights of Riot to assert any intellectual
property claims against Recipient.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This NDA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law
of the State of California, without regard to any of its choice-of-law provisions, and shall be binding upon the Parties
hereto. The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the
County of Los Angeles.
9. Remedies. Recipient acknowledges that Riot will suffer irreparable harm in the event that Recipient and/or its agents
fail to comply with the obligations of confidentiality in this NDA. Consequently, in addition to such monetary relief as
may be recoverable at law, Recipient agrees that Riot will be entitled to specific performance or other injunctive relief
as remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this NDA. Additionally, in the event any legal or administrative
action or proceeding (an Action) is brought by either Party in connection with this NDA, the prevailing Party in such
Action shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all costs, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred.
10. Miscellaneous.
10.1. All Confidential Information is provided by Riot AS IS. Riot makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding
the accuracy or completeness of Confidential Information.
10.2. This NDA and all rights and remedies provided herein may be assigned to any third party by Riot without
requiring the consent of Recipient. No other assignments shall be valid. Any assignment in contravention to
the terms herein shall be void.
10.3. Failure to enforce any provision of this NDA shall not constitute a waiver of any term hereof. A waiver given on
any one occasion is effective only in that instance and will not be construed as a waiver of any right on any
other occasion. If any provision of this NDA shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
10.4. This NDA constitutes the complete agreement among the Parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior or
contemporaneous communications between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All
modifications, waivers or amendments to this NDA, or any part hereof, must be in writing and signed on behalf
of each Party. This NDA may be executed in counterparts and each such counterpart shall be an original and
altogether shall constitute but one and the same document. Executed copies of this NDA sent by facsimile or
otherwise transmitted electronically (by either Tagged Image Format Files or Portable Document Format) shall
be treated as originals, fully binding and with full legal force and effect.
