Exhibit 6.145

 

EQUINE CO-OWNERSHIP

 

This Equine Co-Ownership Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of the Effective Date set forth in Schedule 1 by and between David Ingordo (“Minority Owner”), and MyRacehorse CA, LLC (“MRH”, and together with Minority Owner, the “Parties” or individually as, “Party”) with reference to the following facts:

 

A. MRH is a Nevada series limited liability company managed by Experiential Squared, Inc., a Delaware corporation registered in California.

 

B. The Parties have each purchased an ownership interest in that certain horse where such ownership interest and a description of such horse is more particularly described in Schedule I attached hereto (the "Horse").

 

C.  By jointly purchasing the Horse, a tenancy in common shall be formed amongst the Parties with respect to the Horse, such that each Party shall be a co-owner of the Horse.

 

D. As co-owners of the Horse, the Parties may collectively be referred to herein as the “Co-Owners”, or individually as a “Co-Owner”.

 

E.  MRH and Minority Owner shall own and manage the Horse pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

F.  It is MRH's intent that its members shall be provided with the experience of racehorse ownership including, but not limited to: stable visits of the Horse, updates regarding the Horse's health, training and race progress, access to the winner's circle in the event Horse wins a race, access to owner's clubs at applicable tracks, and access to the stabling paddock when Horse is running in a race all to the extent allowed by the applicable track.

 

G. Minority Owner acknowledges and agrees that dilution of MRH's interest or the sale of an interest in the Horse to any other person or entity by Minority Owner for less than the pro rata purchase price set forth herein constitutes a direct conflict of interest with the interests of MRH.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits and undertakings set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.  Formation of Co-Ownership. The business of the Co-Ownership shall be conducted under the name set forth in Schedule I of this Agreement and the Horse shall race under the Racing Silks identified in Schedule 1 of this Agreement. The use of the term "Co-Ownership" to refer to the aggregate of persons owning the Horse as tenants in common pursuant to this Agreement is solely for convenience, and is not intended, and shall not be deemed to imply that such Co-Ownership constitutes a partnership, association, legal person or jural entity. Each person or entity which acquires a fractional interest in the Horse pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall become a Co-Owner of the Co-Ownership. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, FRACTIONAL INVESTORS IN THE SERIES ON MYRACEHORSE.COM ARE NOT “CO-OWNERS” UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

2.  Relationship of the Co-Owners Amongst Themselves and Manager. For purposes of this Agreement, the Manager of the Horse is that individual or entity so designated in Schedule 1 of this Agreement. The relationship of the Co-Owners amongst themselves shall be that of tenants in common of the Horse, the right to possession of which shall be vested in the Manager, subject only to the right of the Co-Owners to remove the Manager as set forth herein. The relationship of the Co-Owners to the Manager shall be that of principals and agent as limited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The agency of the Manager is one coupled with an interest in the subject matter of the agency during any period in which Horse is maintained under the care of the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall be expressly permitted to conduct other business activities and to accept other engagements, including, without limitation, the management of other horses, the purchase, sale, racing and breeding of other horses, or any one or more of them provided that such other business activities do not create a direct conflict of interest for the Manager.

17. Management. Manager may be removed by a vote of the holders of a majority interest in the Horse. Manager shall communicate regularly with the Parties regarding any and all decisions made in relation to the Horse. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Manager shall have the responsibility for the overall management of the Horse and shall have the authority to decide all matters relating to the management, care, training and racing of the Horse, however, Manager will need the prior written consent of all Co-Owners if the Horse is to be entered into a claiming race or prior to Gelding the Horse (if the Horse is a colt). Manager will require the prior written consent of a majority of the Co-Owners to do any of the following: Trainer selection, Selling the Horse, Breeding the Horse, and any vet procedure that would cost more than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

 

a. Manager shall employ the degree of care customarily employed by persons who race, maintain and breed horses of the same quality as the Horse.

 

18. Principal Office. The principal office and place of business of the Co-Ownership is set forth in Schedule I.

 

19. Subsequent Contributions. Each Co-owner shall be responsible for the timely payment of their pro-rata portion of all expenses incurred in connection with the Horse. If any vendor bills MRH directly for expenses for the Horse and MRH pays any of the other Party’s share of such expenses, such Party shall reimburse MRH for its pro-rata share of such invoice within ten (10) days of receipt of such Invoice.

 

 

a. Expenses include, but are not limited to the costs of board, feed, training, medications and supplements, veterinary costs, farrier costs, transportation, training, entry fees, jockey and trainer commissions, legal, accounting and professional fees.

 

b. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as an impairment of a challenge to any expense for billing irregularities, services that were not performed correctly, defective goods, late delivered goods, or any other good cause. In the event of a refund, the Co-Owners shall receive their pro-rata share of such refund.

 

c. Payments of expenses shall be made pro-rata in accordance with each Co-Owner's respective interest as set forth in Schedule 1.

 

d. If any Co-Owner (the "Defaulting Co-Owner") shall fail to pay all or any part of its share of an expense when due (the "Defaulting Co-Owner's Share") and MRH pays the Defaulting Co-Owner's share (the "Default Payment"), MRH shall give Defaulting Co-Owner a 10-day period within which to reimburse MRH. At the end of the 10-day period referred to above, the fractional interests of each Co-Owner shall be adjusted pro rata to make up for the payment made by MRH as though the Defaulting Co-Owner's initial Capital Contribution had been an amount that equals the original Capital Contribution less the amount of the Default Payment. Similarly, MRH's fractional interest shall be adjusted upwards by the same amount. Such readjustment of Participating Percentages shall be the sole remedy of the Co-Owners and the Co-Ownership in the event that a Co-Owner fails to contribute their share of a Default Payment. The adjustment shall be made regardless of whether, and regardless of the extent to which, MRH makes an additional contribution toward the Defaulting Co- Owner's Share.

 

20. Distributions. Distributions shall be made in a timely manner in the amounts or percentages set forth in Schedule 1.

 

21. Co-Owners. No Co-Owner shall have the power or authority to bind the Co-Ownership unless the Co-Owner has been authorized in writing by the Manager to act as an agent of the Co-Ownership. Meetings of Co-Owners shall be held annually, and special meetings may be held as set forth in Schedule I.

 

22.  Restrictions on Transfer. No Co-Owner shall sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, bequeath, give away or transfer by operation of law or otherwise all or any part of such Co-Owner's interest in the Horse (collectively "Transfer") except as set forth in Schedule 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not be construed to prohibit MRH from selling series interests in the Horse to its investors.
