After the Fundraise

Reimbursable Expenses to SeedInvest. Upon a successful Offering, Company shall reimburse SeedInvest $10,000 to cover costs associated with escrow, operational, due diligence, and legal fees (the “Expenses”) at the initial Closing.

Failed Offerings. Company shall not be billed Expenses or owe Compensation to SeedInvest, except with respect to a potential tail fee, if after the Launch Date no Prospects invest in the Offering or Company fails to reach its stated minimum funding goal for the Offering (in each instance, a ”Failed Offering”).

Ongoing Reporting Obligations. Following Closing of the Offering, and until the date at which Company is acquired, conducts its initial public offering and is listed on a national exchange, or completes a formal dissolution,, Company shall be responsible for providing quarterly updates directly to SeedInvest and each Prospect who purchased securities in the Offering (within 60 days following the close of each calendar quarter, or as otherwise specified in the Company's Charter, Investor Rights Agreement, or other similar document) in substantially similar form as can be found here [Include Link of Reporting Form] which may be updated by SeedInvest from time to time. Such updates shall include at least the following information: (i) quarterly net sales, (ii) quarterly change in cash and cash on hand, (iii) material updates on the business, (iv) fundraising updates (any plans for next round, current round status, etc.), and (v) notable press and news. Should Company engage a third party service provider to assist with investor relations, this does not release Company of any of its obligations under these terms, including its ongoing reporting obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, once the Launch Date has occurred, then this section shall survive termination, except in the case of a Failed Offering (as defined below).

Term & Termination

Term. The initial term shall be sixty (60) days following the date on which SeedInvest notifies the Company that it has received SeedInvest’s review and approval by its internal committee to onboard Company onto the Online Platform (the “Initial Term”). The Initial Term shall automatically renew for successive thirty (30) day periods (each a “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).

Termination. The Term will automatically terminate at the earlier of the final Closing or on the one-year anniversary date of the Effective Date (the “Termination Date”). Either party may terminate these terms at any point prior to the date on which the Company agrees to the attached Exhibits by providing written notice (“Early Termination”). Furthermore, if SeedInvest chooses not to serve as Company’s placement agent for the Offering, in its sole discretion, these terms shall automatically terminate, and no Compensation or Expenses shall be due.

Fees Due at Termination or Expiration of Initial Term. Except in the case of a Failed Offering, if subsequent to agreeing to the attached Exhibits, the Launch Date does not occur prior to the end of the Initial Term or Company provides notice of termination prior to a Closing, Company authorizes SeedInvest to charge Company the Expenses of $10,000 as described above, which shall be due immediately.

There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. Additionally, investors may receive illiquid and/or restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for start-up investing, start-ups should only be part of your overall investment portfolio. Further, the start-up portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different start-ups. Investments in startups are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 5-7 years) should not invest.

SI Securities does not provide custody services in connection any investments made through the platform. Customer securities and account balances, not held directly by the customer or in escrow, are held by New Direction Trust Company (“NDTCO”) for the benefit of customers.
