NOW, THEREFORE

In consideration of the mutual covenants and for the purpose of initiating an internal inquiry, the Reporting Party submits the following information and agrees to the terms set forth in this form.

1. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this form, "Protected Disclosure" means a good-faith report of suspected or actual wrongdoing, including fraud, theft, corruption, health or safety violations, environmental noncompliance, or other violations of law or policy. "Confidential Information" means information provided by the Reporting Party that the Reporting Party reasonably requests be kept confidential.

3. CONTACT PREFERENCES & CONFIDENTIALITY

The Reporting Party may indicate contact preferences and confidentiality requests below. The Authorized Recipient will make reasonable efforts to respect requests for confidentiality consistent with legal obligations and the needs of an effective investigation.

I prefer to remain anonymous.

I request that the information I provide be treated as confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4. INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE

Upon receipt of this report, Authorized Recipient will review the submission and, where warranted, initiate a prompt, fair, and objective investigation. Investigations may include interviews, review of documents, and coordination with legal or regulatory authorities when required. Authorized Recipient may take interim measures to protect witnesses, preserve records, or prevent ongoing harm.

Reporting Party acknowledges that investigation results and corrective actions may be subject to disclosure as necessary to effectuate remedial measures and comply with legal obligations, provided that reasonable efforts will be made to limit disclosure of identifying information consistent with the Reporting Party's confidentiality request.

5. NON-RETALIATION

The organization prohibits retaliation against any individual who makes a Protected Disclosure in good faith, cooperates in an investigation, or assists in related proceedings. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, termination, demotion, harassment, or other adverse employment or contractual actions. If Reporting Party believes retaliation has occurred, Reporting Party should notify Authorized Recipient immediately.

6. FALSE OR MALICIOUS REPORTS

Making a report knowingly containing false information or for an improper purpose is prohibited and may subject the Reporting Party to disciplinary action or legal liability. Good-faith reporting that is later proven incorrect will not be considered malicious solely because it is unsubstantiated.

Access to investigative records will be limited to those with a demonstrable need to know, subject to legal obligations to disclose information to regulators, law enforcement, or tribunals.

9. AMENDMENTS; WAIVER; COUNTERPARTS

This form may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both the Reporting Party (where identity is known) and Authorized Recipient. Failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement. This form may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

10. GOVERNING LAW; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This form shall be governed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction as determined by the organization's internal policies and any controlling legal requirements.
