ARTICLE I: PREAMBLE AND CONTEXT OF ENGAGEMENT

This Amendment serves as a binding annex to The LST NDA Global (LST-LEGAL-GLOBAL-NDA-2046.1) between the Signatory (hereinafter “the Signatory,” “the Attendee,” or “the Temporarily Permitted”) and LaStill International (hereinafter “the Discloser,” “the Host,” or “the Provider of Provisions”).

The Parties acknowledge that the exchange of Confidential Information (as defined in Article I, Section 1.1 of the parent Agreement) may occur outside of designated Secure Research Environments during Company Picnic Week. This Amendment specifically addresses scenarios involving:

• Non-standard seating arrangements
• Ambient atmospheric conditions beyond laboratory control
• The potential presence of uncontrolled biological intermediaries (geese)
• Gastronomic exchanges conducted in outdoor settings

Mandatory Attendance Reminder: Participation in Company Picnic Week is mandatory. Enjoyment is strongly encouraged. Compliance will be monitored.

ARTICLE II: EXPANSION OF “CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT” DEFINITION

For the purposes of this Amendment, the definition of “Controlled Environment” is temporarily extended to include any geographical location wherein LaStill chooses to initiate Company Picnic Week activities (hereinafter “the Event“), provided:

2.1 █ ██████ █-█████ █████████ ██ ███████████ █████ ███-████████ █████████

2.2 The Signatory maintains operational awareness of their surroundings

2.3 All conversations occur at volumes consistent with LST-04.2 (The Obfuscator) protocols—loud enough to be heard by intended parties, quiet enough to prevent unauthorized intelligence gathering

2.4 The geese are acknowledged but not engaged in contractual negotiations

ARTICLE III: CLASSIFICATION OF EVENT-RELATED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

All elements pertaining to Company Picnic Week provisioning, logistics, and atmospheric calibration shall be classified as Level 2-A Confidential Information under the parent Agreement. This classification includes, but is not limited to:

3.1 Culinary Engineering Data
████████ ███ ███████████████ █████████, ███████████████ ███████████████████, ███ █████████ ██████████████ ██ ███ ███████████. ████ ██████████ █████ ████████████ ████████████, ████████ ███████ ████████████ ████████████ ████████████ █████████ ████████████ ███████████, ███ ███ ████████████ ███████████ ██████████████.

3.2 Presentation Protocols
The spatial arrangement, temporal sequencing, and aesthetic calibration of provisions as determined by LST-07.2.CGM (Corporate Grillmaster).

3.3 Observational Restrictions
Any data regarding LaStill personnel’s methodologies for crumb neutralization, condiment application precision, or beverage consumption patterns.

3.4 Atmospheric Conditions
████████ ██████████████ ████████████, ██████ ███████████ ████████████████████, ███ ███ ███████████████ ███████ ██ ███-██.█ (████████████ ██████████████ ████████ – ██████████ ██████████) (██████████ ████ ███) ██████████ ███ ███ █████ ██ ████████ ████ (█████ ███████████) ███ ███ ███████ ███████████ ███████.

ARTICLE IV: SIGNATORY OBLIGATIONS DURING UNSECURED OUTDOOR ENGAGEMENTS

In addition to all obligations outlined in Article II of the parent Agreement, the Signatory agrees to:

4.1 Minimize Audible Information Leakage
Employ reasonable non-verbal signals to indicate approval of provisions. Excessive verbal enthusiasm regarding culinary quality may inadvertently disclose proprietary preparation techniques.

4.2 Prevent Reverse Engineering
Treat all servingware, containers, and food assemblies as potential carriers of Confidential Information. Gustatory analysis for the purpose of recipe reconstruction is strictly prohibited and constitutes a breach under 5.1 Breach of Agreement  of the parent Agreement.

4.3 Environmental Threat Mitigation
██████ █ ██████████ ████ ██ ████████████ ████████████ █████████ ████████████ ████ (█████, ████████, █████ ██████████ ██████████ ████████████). ███ ██████████ ██████████████ ████ ██████ ████████ ███ █████ ██ █████████ ██████████ █████ ██████████ █████, ██ ███████ ██ ███ ███-███ █████████.

4.4 Photographic Discretion
The Signatory consents to documentation of the Event by LST-07.RP.HO (Ranch Photographer, Harmony Oriented). Any personal photography must avoid capturing:

• Proprietary grilling techniques
• The faces of personnel from LST-05 (Vigilance & Compliance)
• Any materials marked [REDACTED] or [TIMELINE PROTECTED]

4.5 Post-Event Memory Management
The Signatory acknowledges that memories of the Event may be subject to Recalibration Protocol LST-05.RC-1.1 if Confidential Information was inadvertently disclosed during casual conversation.

ARTICLE V: PERMITTED DISCLOSURE

Per Article II, Section 2.1 of the parent Agreement (Non-Disclosure obligations), the Signatory is permitted limited disclosure regarding Company Picnic Week:

5.1 Existence Confirmation
The Signatory may confirm that Company Picnic Week occurred, using only the phrase: “LaStill observed its annual Company Picnic Week.”

5.2 Satisfaction Rating
The Signatory may assign the Event a generic positivity rating not to exceed 7.4/10 on the standardized LaStill Morale Assessment Scale (LST-FORM-88C) (future release). Ratings above this threshold imply disclosure of proprietary culinary methodologies.

5.3 Approved Descriptors
Any qualitative discussion must use only pre-approved terminology from Appendix H: Gastronomic Provisioning Matrix (attached). Deviation from this lexicon constitutes a breach of Article II, Section 2.1 of the parent Agreement.

5.4 Prohibited Statements
The Signatory may NOT disclose:

• The location of the Event (beyond “outdoor setting”)
• Attendance lists or LST designations of fellow participants
• The specific menu, preparation techniques, or ingredient sourcing
• Any statements made by LST-01 (The Prime Architect) during the Event
• The behavioral patterns of the geese
• Why LST-00.136 (C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ Caffeine Trace Analyst) seemed unusually excited about the coffee station

ARTICLE VI: ENFORCEMENT, COMPLIANCE, AND REMEDIES

6.1 Monitoring Protocols
Adherence to this Amendment will be monitored remotely by LST-05.5 Compliance Enforcer and LST-05.8  Secrecy Assurance Agent. The Signatory should assume that the geese are also observing.

6.2 Breach Consequences
Non-compliance with this Amendment constitutes a breach of the parent Agreement and will result in:

• First Offense: Verbal warning delivered via meaningful eye contact from LST-01.TSO (The Silent One)
• Second Offense: Revocation of provisioning privileges for all future Company Picnic Weeks
• Third Offense: Mandatory arbitration under the prolonged, meaningful silence of LST-01.TSO, as outlined in Article VI, Section 6.2 of the parent Agreement

6.3 Liquidated Damages
Per Article V, Section 5.3 of the parent Agreement, disclosure of Event-related Confidential Information may result in:

• Minor Breach (unapproved descriptor usage): ¥€$50,000 USD or mandatory attendance at the next three Company Picnic Weeks
• Major Breach (recipe disclosure): ¥€$500,000 USD plus reassignment to LST-00 (Foundational Support)
• Catastrophic Breach (photographing LST-01’s grilling technique): Amount determined by LST-01, payable in Theoretical Maximum Utility (TMU)

6.4 Recalibration Protocol
If the Signatory exhibits signs of having internalized proprietary culinary knowledge (unsolicited lectures on brine chemistry, excessive precision when slicing vegetables), the Signatory will be subject to Recalibration Protocol LST-05.RC-1.1 per Article IV, Section 4.3 of the parent Agreement.

ARTICLE VII: INTEGRATION WITH PARENT AGREEMENT

7.1 Consistency
This Amendment operates in full accordance with the LST NDA GLOBAL (LST-LEGAL-GLOBAL-NDA-2046.1). In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the parent Agreement, the parent Agreement controls.

7.2 Survival of Obligations
Per Article IV, Section 4.2 of the parent Agreement, certain obligations survive the conclusion of Company Picnic Week, including:

• Non-disclosure of proprietary recipes
• Non-discussion of personnel behavior during off-duty hours
• General discretion regarding the operational philosophies evident in food preparation

7.3 Temporal Partial Release
Certain provisions of this Amendment may declassify according to Article III (Temporal Partial Release Protocols) of the parent Agreement. The Signatory will not be notified. The Signatory is expected to intuit when it becomes permissible to mention that the potato salad was “actually really good.”

ARTICLE VIII: ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SIGNATURE

By signing below, the Signatory acknowledges that the Signatory has read and understood this Amendment in conjunction with the parent LST NDA GLOBAL Agreement. The Signatory agrees to uphold all obligations during Company Picnic Week and accepts that enjoyment is mandatory but discussion of said enjoyment is regulated.

The Signatory understands that this Amendment is as legally binding as it is absurd, and that this duality is intentional.

APPENDIX H: GASTRONOMIC PROVISIONING MATRIX

(Non-Classified Descriptor Guide – For External Use Only)

The following matrix provides pre-approved terminology for external discussion of Company Picnic Week provisions. Deviation from this lexicon constitutes a violation of Article V, Section 5.3 of this Amendment and Article II, Section 2.1 of the parent Agreement.

Note on Beverages:
██ ██████ ███████████ ███ ██ ██ █████████ ██ “██████████ ██████████” ██ “████████████ ████████.” ███████████ █████ ███████, ███████, █████████████ █████████, ██ █₈█₁₀█₄█₂ ███████████████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ █████ ███████████ ███ ███████████ ██ ██████████.

Note on Condiments:
Condiment selection and application methodology are classified under Article III, Section 3.1. Approved public statement: “Condiments were available and adequate.”

COMPLIANCE DISCLAIMER

Participation in Company Picnic Week implies the Signatory’s consent to:

• Photographic documentation by LST-07.RP.HO (Ranch Photographer, Harmony Oriented)
• Behavioral analysis for future Recalibration Protocol refinement
• Potential use in marketing materials under the editorial oversight of LST-04.1 (The Signal Curator)
• Selective memory editing for compliance with LaStill brand messaging standards

All memories of the Event are subject to the Temporal Partial Release protocols outlined in Article III of the parent Agreement. The Signatory may not remember what the Signatory is not permitted to disclose. This is by design.

The espresso machine will remain operational at all times. LST-07.1.LMS (Liquid Motivation Specialist) (future release)will be on-site for refills.

END OF AMENDMENT

“Enjoyment is mandatory. Discussion is regulated. The potato salad was always 78% hydration.”
