1. Retention.  During the term of this engagement, and as mutually agreed upon by MSC and the Client, MSC shall provide Client with project management, technology, administrative services and assistance with and introductions to resources needed to conduct Reg A+ Reg D and Reg S offering campaigns, (any of the foregoing, a “Financing”). Client agrees to be bound by the MSC Platform standard terms and conditions in connection with any actions and obligations specifically arising from Company’s use of the MSC Platform, (the “Platform Terms”) which are attached hereto. Access to the MSC Platform will not be provided without Client’s acceptance of the Platform Terms.

2. Cooperation. The Client shall furnish MSC and/or upload to the MSC Platform all current and historical materials and information regarding the business and financial condition of the Client that are in its possession and relevant to, and reasonably required for, the Financing, and all other information and data, and access to the Client’s officers, directors, employees and professional advisors, which MSC reasonably requests in connection with MSC’s activities hereunder.  All such materials, information and data shall be to the Client’s knowledge, complete and accurate in all material respects and not misleading. Client understands that MSC is not and does not provide any assurance that the contemplated Financing(s) will succeed, or that they will achieve any particular performance level or cost efficiency.  The Client agrees to promptly advise MSC of all developments materially affecting the Client, any proposed Financing or the completeness or accuracy of the information previously furnished to MSC, and agrees that no material initiatives relating to the proposed Financing will be taken without MSC having been consulted in advance thereof.

MSC undertakes, warrants and represents that (i) it will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances in connection with the services provided under this Agreement; (ii) it possesses the necessary expertise, experience, and resources to provide the services outlined in this Agreement; (iii) it will take reasonable steps to provide the Client with timely and accurate information regarding any material changes to applicable regulations or the status of compliance that impact the services or the Client’s obligations recognizing that MSC is not a securities attorney; and (iv) it will facilitate necessary guidelines to support the Client's offerings

3. Compensation. The Client agrees to promptly pay MSC the MSC Fees (the “Fees”), listed below:

 

a) Project management retainer fee of $10,000 USD paid monthly in advance. The first 3-month period from the Effective Date will be paid in advance upon execution of the agreement, and the same value (i.e. $10,000 USD) of ten-year cashless exercise warrants for Preferred Class A1 non-voting shares (the “Warrant Shares”) will be paid at the end of each 3-month period (for such 3 month period based on the warrant amount that was earned during such period), at a price of $5.55 per share.

 

The monthly fee will be paid from the Effective Date and will continue while the offering is active in any of these formats; Reg D, Reg A+ or Reg S. The warrant fee will be paid from January 1st 2025.

b) MSC technology admin and service fees;

$25.00 USD per investment in the Reg A+ Financing made through the MSC Platform, and the same value of ten-year cashless exercise warrant for Warrant Shares with a price per share of $5.55. The MSC technology admin and service fee is constant regardless of the investment amount, and it is not dependent on the total size of the capital raised. For purposes of calculating this fee, an “investment” is defined as a transaction where a person or entity invests money as part of the Financing through the MSC platform. The number of Warrant Shares will be determined by dividing the product of $25.00 and the total number of investments in this offering, by $5.55.


For investments made in the Reg A+ Financing through the MSC Platform by US IRA accounts, Trusts or by US companies, LLCs or LPs, MSC charges a per investment technology, admin, and service fee of $100 instead plus warrants defined and calculated as described above using the $100 fee.

 

For investments made in the Reg A+ through the MSC Platform by US Investment Entities (VC firms, Private Equity firms, Family Offices, investment management companies and similar), MSC charges a per investment technology, admin, and service fee of $5,000 instead plus warrants defined and calculated as described above using the $5000 fee

The MSC technology admin, verification and service fee is constant regardless of the investment amount, and it is not dependent on the total size of the capital raised. For purposes of calculating this fee, an investment is defined as a transaction where a person or entity invests money as part of this Financing through the MSC Platform. The number of warrant shares will be determined by dividing the product of $250.00 and the total number of investments made by these individuals in this offering, by $5.55.  The $250 plus $50 MSC technology admin, verification and service fee includes fees for accreditation verification of US Reg D investors, which may be paid to third-party service providers on behalf of the Client.

 

For investments made in the Reg D Financing through the MSC Platform by US IRA accounts Trusts or by US companies, LLCs or LPs, MSC charges a per investment technology, admin, and service fee of $1,000 instead plus warrants defined and calculated as described above using the $1000 fee.

Reg S:

 

For Reg S investments made by individuals through the MSC Platform, a fee of $25.00, and the same value of ten-year cashless exercise warrants for Warrant Shares at a price of $5.55 per share. The MSC technology admin, verification and service fee is constant regardless of the investment amount, and it is not dependent on the total size of the capital raise. For purposes of calculating this fee, an investment is defined as a transaction where a person or entity invests money as part of the Financing through the MSC’s platform. The number of warrants will be determined by dividing the product of $25.00 and the total number of investments made by these individuals in this Financing, by $5.55.

For investments made in Reg S Financing through the MSC Platform by non-US corporate entities and Trusts, MSC charges a per investment technology, admin, and service fee of $100 instead plus warrants defined and calculated as described above applied to the $100 amount.

To clarify, the fee obligations described in Section 3b will only apply to investments initiated as part of Financing through the MSC Platform during the term of this Agreement. These fee obligations will not apply to any investments in that Financing that were initiated or presented to their respective investors after this Agreement has terminated or expired or that were initiated or presented to investors during this agreement outside of the MSC platform.

c) Listing fee of $5,000 USD per month while the offering is live for investment or reservations, including TestTheWaters (TM), and the same value of ten-year cashless exercise warrants for Warrant Shares priced at $5.55 per share.

MSC fees above do not include costs for marketing agency, legal service provider, broker-dealer or transfer agent. Reasonable direct expenses incurred by MSC on behalf of Client will be reimbursed by Client, subject to the receipt of Client’s prior written approval before such expenses are incurred.

 

It is expressly understood that all MSC Fees are not contingent on the success of reaching the total fundraising amount of the Financing. The Fees are an obligation of the Client regardless of the final outcome of the Financing.

 

It is expressly understood that a separate MSC Service Fee shall be payable in respect to each Financing in the event that more than one Financing occurs. Examples may include the addition of a Reg D convertible note offering proceeding or in parallel with the Reg A+ offering, or a simultaneous regional Reg A+ offering in another region. In the event of an additional Financing, the rates listed above shall apply on such additional Financing, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Delivery of warrants.

During the course of the Financing there will be two separate issuances of Warrants as described below:

a) The first Warrant will represent the amount earned as Project management retainer fees up front for the first three months, as defined in section 3a above, and will be delivered upon the initial execution of this Agreement in the form approved by both parties, and attached to this Agreement as Appendix 1 - Warrant Agreement.[ For purposes of the earning of Warrant Project Management Fees, the date of commencement of the Project Management monthly and subsequent months is January 1st 2025, at the rate of $10k per month consistent with the temporary engagement of MSC that began Jan 1st 2025.

b) The second and subsequent Warrant deliveries will be earned during the course of the Financing, and will represent warrants earned as Project Management, MSC technology admin and service fees and Listing fees, as defined in


3



Sections 3a, 3b and 3c above. The Client commits to deliver these warrants quarterly from the Effective Date within 15 days of the completion of each Quarter, or the termination of the Financing, in the form, approved by both parties, and attached to this Agreement as Appendix 1 - Warrant Agreement.

It is expressly understood that warrants are not contingent on the success of the offering. The delivery of warrants are an obligation of the Client regardless of the outcome of the offering.

The Warrants will have an exercise price per share of $5.55, and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the lapse of 10 years from the date of the issuance of each warrant; or (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below in the Warrant agreement – Appendix 1).

4.  Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that, in the course of evaluating the Financing and in connection with this Agreement, it (the “Receiving Party”) may obtain information relating to the other party’s business (the “Disclosing Party”) (all such information the “Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall belong solely to the Disclosing Party. For sake of clarity, information is considered Confidential Information for so long as it has not been made known to the general public by the Disclosing Party or through the rightful actions of a third party, and for so long as the information holds value, as reasonably determined by the Disclosing Party, by virtue of remaining confidential.  During the Term and after its termination, the Receiving Party: (a) shall not use, other than as required for the Financing, or disclose Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, or unless such Confidential Information becomes part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party, its officers, directors, employees or agents; (b) agrees to take all reasonable measures to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, but not less than those it takes to safeguard its own confidential information; and (c) will disclose the Confidential Information only to those of its employees and consultants as are necessary for the uses licensed hereunder and are bound by obligations of confidentiality.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information, as requested by the Disclosing Party.

5. Termination. The Agreement has a term of 24 months from execution, unless terminated by either party for any or no reason by providing the other party with forty five (45) days prior written notice. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the following: (a) Company shall remain obligated to pay the service fees set forth in Sections 3b, but only for investments made by investors who were introduced to the Company through MSC’s Platform prior to the termination date. (b) Company shall have no obligation to continue paying project management retainer fee under Section 3a after the effective date of termination; (c) the obligations set forth in Section 3c (for the period prior to termination), 4 and 7-9 (inclusive), which shall survive termination of this Agreement.. The agreement will automatically renew at its end date unless one or both parties indicate in writing within 30 days of the end date that they want to prevent auto renewal. Each renewal term shall be for a period of 12 months and subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth herein, unless otherwise agreed in writing. For purposes of this Agreement, an investor shall be deemed 'introduced' to the Company through MSC's Platform when such investor first registers interest in the Company's offering through the MSC Platform or is otherwise directly connected to the Company by MSC prior to the termination date.

6. Exclusivity. Notwithstanding else to the contrary in the Platform Terms, during the term of this Agreement, the Client will not, and will not permit any security holder, affiliate, advisor or representative of the Client to engage any other party to perform any services or act in any capacity which is related to, or comparable, to the Financing without the prior written approval of MSC. For the avoidance of doubt, the Client may engage founders or its internal representatives to directly approach investors outside of the MSC platform during the offering.

 

7. Indemnification. Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MSC and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and agents, and any other persons controlling MSC or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (or any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, related to or arising out of or in connection with MSC services (whether occurring before, at or after the date hereof) under the Agreement, the Financing or any proposed Financing contemplated by the Agreement or any Indemnified Person’s role in connection therewith (“Losses”), provided, however, that the Client shall not be responsible for any Losses that arise out of or are based on any action of or failure to act by MSC to the extent such Losses are determined, by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court, to have resulted primarily and directly from MSC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 3, CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR CLIENT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM OR LIABILITY IS BASED UPON ANY CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.

EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 3, CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR CLIENT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID TO MSC.  THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL FINANCING OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

9. Independent Contractor. The Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) MSC will act as an independent contractor hereunder, its responsibility is solely owed to the Client and contractual in nature, and MSC does not owe the Client, or any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any security holders, affiliates, creditors or employees of the Client), any fiduciary or similar duty as a result of its engagement hereunder or otherwise; (ii) MSC and its affiliates will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the actions taken, omissions of or advice given by other parties who are providing services to the Client; (iii) MSC is not an advisor as to legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; (iv) the Client has consulted, and will consult, as appropriate, with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of this Agreement and the Financings contemplated hereby, and that MSC and its affiliates shall have no responsibility or liability with respect thereto; and (v) the Client is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Financings and the fees payable in connection therewith and that it understands and accepts the terms, conditions, and risks of such Financings and fees.

10. Dispute Resolution, Mediation, and Arbitration:   MSC and the Client shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between MSC and a representative of the Client who has authority to settle the controversy on behalf of the Client. Either party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within five (5) days after delivery of notice of any dispute, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and the response shall include a statement of each party’s position, a summary of arguments supporting that position and shall include a reference to any authority available to support the position. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the disputing party’s notice, the parties shall meet in person at a mutually acceptable time and place, or by phone, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored.

a)   Mediation. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days of the disputing party’s first notice, or if the parties fail to meet within fifteen (15) days, either party may initiate mediation of the controversy or claim before a mediator appointed by the mediation service JAMS. In any event, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle any dispute by negotiation and mediation before resorting to arbitration or any other dispute resolution procedure.  

b)  Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve the matter through mediation within 15 (days) of beginning mediation, then any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any alleged breach thereof shall be settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator appointed by the arbitration service JAMS, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration shall be final and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to bar any party hereto from seeking injunctive relief with respect to any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.) The arbitrators shall comply with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted, unless the parties otherwise agree, in San Diego, California, United States of America.

11. Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware and all claims shall be exclusively commenced in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that if Client agrees to the Platform Terms, the Platform Terms shall govern Client’s use of the MSC Platform and to the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Platform Terms, this Agreement shall control and take precedence.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Client hereto without the prior written consent


5



of MSC.  Any attempted assignment of this Agreement made without such consent shall be void and of no effect.  This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Client and MSC.  If any provision hereof shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect, or against public policy, such determination shall not affect such provision in any other respect nor any other provision hereof.  Headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in facsimile or other electronic counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same document.  This Agreement has been reviewed by each of the signatories hereto and its counsel.  There shall be no construction of any provision against MSC because this Agreement was drafted by MSC, and the parties waive any statute or rule of law to such effect.

Please sign below and return to MSC to indicate the Client’s acceptance of the terms set forth herein, and once executed by each of MSC and the Client, this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement between the Client and MSC as of the date first written above.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.  While then warrants are exercisable, this Company shall reserve a sufficient number of securities to provide for the delivery of stock pursuant to this and other warrants. 

 

2.  Any changes in the structure of this Company or in its outstanding securities that affect the rights and participation to which the holder of this warrant would be entitled as of the date of exercising this warrant shall result in the proportionate adjustment of the shares that may be purchased pursuant to this Warrant. 

 

3.  Until the valid exercise of this Warrant, the holder shall not be entitled to any shareholder rights. 

 

4.  To exercise this Warrant, the exercise form below must be completed and delivered to the warrant agent, together with the exercise price. 

 

5.  This Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated without the prior written consent of the Company.  .  

 

6. Term. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date which is the earlier of (i) ten (10) years following the date of this Warrant;; or (b) immediately prior to the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below)

 

“Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) the closing of a transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity, as a result of which the stockholders of the Company prior to such event do not own, by virtue of their shareholdings in the Company prior to such event, a majority of the shares of the surviving entity (which surviving entity may be the Company), or (iii) sale, assignment or disposal by the Company of all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company; or (iv) the transfer, sale, lease, grant or other disposition of or the grant of an exclusive license over all or substantially all of its assets with the same economic effect to that of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (v) any other transaction, except for a financing round, following which the stockholders of the Company prior to the closing of such transaction own, directly and indirectly, by virtue of their shareholdings in the Corporation prior to such transaction, less than 50% (fifty percent) of the voting power of the surviving entity; in each case other than a sale to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or a reorganization for the purpose of change of domicile that does not affect the percentage ownership interest of the stockholders

 

7. Cashless Exercise.  The Holder of this Warrant may also exercise this Warrant as to any or all of the Securities and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Purchase Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise a reduced number of Securities (the “Net Number”) determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):      

 

Net Number = A x (B - C) 

     --------- 

         B 


8



For purposes of the foregoing formula:  

 

A= the total number of Securities with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised in a Cashless Exercise. 

 

B= the Market Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise of the warrants.      

 

C= the Exercise Price for the applicable Securities at the time of such exercise. 

 

There cannot be a Cashless Exercise unless “B” exceeds “C.”

 

Illustrative Example: For the avoidance of doubt, the following example demonstrates the calculation of the Net Number of shares to be issued upon a cashless exercise of the warrants. If MSC elects to exercise 10,000 warrants on a cashless basis when the Market Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the exercise is $8.00 per share and the Exercise Price is $5.00 per share, the Net Number of shares to be issued shall be calculated as follows:

 

Net Number = 10,000×(8−5)/8=10,000×3/8=3,750 shares

 

Accordingly, upon the exercise of 10,000 warrants, MSC shall receive 3,750 common shares without any cash payment required.

 

(a)For the purpose of this Warrant, the term “Trading Day” means (x) if the Securities are not listed on the NYSE Euronext or NYSE AMEX but sale prices of the Securities are reported on Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or another automated quotation system, a day on which trading is reported on the principal automated quotation system on which sales of the Securities are reported, (y) if the Securities are listed on the NYSE Euronext or NYSE AMEX, a day on which there is trading on such stock exchange, (z) if clauses (x) and (y) are both inapplicable, a day on which quotations are reported by National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or, if clauses (x), (y) and (z) are each inapplicable, any day which is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the State of New York.  

(b)For the purpose of this Warrant, the term “Market Price” means, of any date, the value of the Security determined as follows: 

(i)If the Security is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the NYSE Euronext, NYSE AMEX, Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Market Select or the Nasdaq Capital Market, its Market Price will be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the parties hereto mutually agree; 

(ii)If the Security is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Market Price will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Security on the day of determination (or, if no bids and asks were reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such bids and asks were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the parties hereto mutually agree; or 

(iii)In the absence of an established market for the Security, the Market Price will be determined in good faith by the Board, and agreed upon by both parties.

You may withdraw your reservation of investment at any time until a qualified offer of the sale of securities is made and accepted after the SEC offering qualification date. While you keep a reservation, you will be notified if a filing with the SEC is made for a company that you reserved an investment possibility in, when it is amended and when it is qualified. If a preliminary or final offering statement is filed with the SEC, it will be made available to you and you are encouraged to read the offering in full as it will provide you with more detailed information about the company, the terms and conditions of any potential offering and the risk, uncertainties and timing associated with any potential offering.

Indemnification Terms

 

By using the Platform for Offerings to seek investments or loans on or through use of the Platform software, or to seek feedback, including reservations on a potential fundraising and the potential offering of securities for purchase Company representatives individually and on behalf of their Company hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Manhattan Street Capital, shareholders, investors, officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, service providers, suppliers, vendors, advertisers, agents (“Related Parties”) and its affiliates and their Related Parties in accordance with these Indemnification Terms. The Indemnification Terms constitute Agreed Terms hereunder. You are cautioned and advised to review the Indemnification Terms in full.

 

Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Manhattan Street Capital (“MSC”) and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (MSC and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions, including shareholder actions, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or


16



otherwise, which are related to or result from the performance by MSC of the services contemplated by or the engagement of MSC and will promptly reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense arising from any threatened or pending claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions:, (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party affected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from MSC’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of MSC pursuant to, or the performance by MSC of the services contemplated by, the Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from MSC’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company pursuant hereto, promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and an Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Company that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to the Indemnifying Party to conduct the defense of both the Company and the Indemnified Party (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses for more than one firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) representing Indemnified Parties unless the defense of one Indemnified Party is unique or separate from that of another Indemnified Party subject to the same claim or action. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Company, or prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

 

If the indemnification provided for in the Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable by or unavailable to an Indemnified Party, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable or unavailable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and MSC, on the other hand, of the Agreement and any potential offering or, (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason unenforceable or unavailable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and MSC, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and MSC of the Agreement and any potential offering as contemplated shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by the Company or its shareholders, as the case may be, as a result of or in connection with the Agreement and any potential offering bear to the fees paid or to be paid to MSC under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that MSC shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees paid MSC hereunder (excluding reimbursable expenses), exceeds the amount of any damages which MSC has otherwise been required to pay.

 

The Company agrees that without MSC’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under


17



the provisions of the Agreement, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

 

In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse MSC on a monthly basis for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. In addition to any reimbursed fees, expenses or costs outlined hereunder, MSC shall also receive from the Company cash compensation of $2,000.00 per person, per day, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs should MSC be required to provide testimony in any formal or informal proceeding regarding the Company.

 

If multiple claims are brought with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under the Agreement, the Company agrees that any judgment or arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitration award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.

 

Waiver and Severance

 

Failure of Manhattan Street Capital to insist upon strict performance of any provision of the Agreed Terms or the failure of Manhattan Street Capital to exercise any right or remedy to which it is entitled shall not constitute a waiver thereof and shall not affect the validity of the Agreed Terms, or any part, or Manhattan Street Capital's right to enforce each and every provision. If any of the Agreed Terms are deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, but not limited to the exclusions and limitations set out above), then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be severed from the Agreed Terms and the remaining Agreed Terms will continue to apply.

 

Choice of Law, Time Limit and Arbitration

 

The laws of the State of Delaware govern these Agreed Terms. Manhattan Street Capital makes no representation that the Platform is operated in compliance with the laws of any nation but the United States. If you are located outside the United States, you view this website and access the Platform at your own risk and initiative.

 

This Platform and the Content posted on it or made available through it shall not constitute an offer or solicitation and may not be treated as an offer or solicitation: (i) in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation is against the law; (ii) to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation; or (iii) if the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so. Any securities that may be offered on the Platform can only be marketed in certain jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that it is solely your responsibility to be aware of the applicable laws and regulations of your country of residence.

 

You must bring all disputes with Manhattan Street Capital within one year of obtaining knowledge of the cause of action forming the basis of the dispute.

 

By accessing the Platform you agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Manhattan Street Capital and its Related Parties, and its affiliates and their Related Parties, you will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by negotiation between MSC and a representative of the Company who has authority to settle the controversy on behalf of the Company. Either party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within five (5) days after delivery of notice of any dispute, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and the response shall include a statement of each party’s position, a summary of arguments supporting that position and shall include a reference to any authority available to support the position. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the disputing party’s notice, the parties shall meet in person at a mutually acceptable time and place, or by phone, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored.

 

a) Mediation. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) days of the disputing party’s first notice, or if the parties fail to meet within fifteen (15) days, either party may initiate mediation of the controversy or claim before a mediator appointed by the mediation service JAMS. In any event, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle any dispute by negotiation and mediation before resorting to arbitration or any other dispute resolution procedure.


18



b) Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve the matter through mediation within 15 (days) of beginning mediation, then any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any alleged breach thereof shall be settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator appointed by the arbitration service JAMS, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration shall be final and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to bar any party hereto from seeking injunctive relief with respect to any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.) The arbitrators shall comply with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association as then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted, unless the parties otherwise agree, in San Diego, California, United States of America.

 

To the full extent allowable by law, you agree that no arbitration proceeding or other dispute resolution proceeding shall be joined with any other party or decided on a class-action basis.
