Exhibit A: Milestones and Share Vesting Plan

 

This exhibit outlines the Milestones that must be achieved by The Partner and the corresponding Share Vesting Plan. It also provides stricter criteria for determining whether a Partner qualifies as a Bad Leaver, as defined in Section 12.

 

Milestones

The following milestones must be met for share vesting:

  • Milestone 1: Completion of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
  • Milestone 2: Completion of a roadmap for hiring engineers in line with the company's growth and funding milestones. This includes defining roles, required skills, and the sequence of hires (e.g., frontend vs. backend, DevOps, etc.).
  • Milestone 3: Create the engineering team structure for the organization structure chart (e.g., creating product-specific teams, specialized teams like DevOps, QA).
  • Milestone 4: Lead or Participate in the recruitment process of optimal recruits to build a high-performing engineering team, which involves interviewing, technical evaluations, and culture fit assessment.

Failure to achieve these milestones with the specified timelines will result in Bad Leaver status, automatically subjecting The Partner’s shares to mandatory transfer at nominal value as outlined in Section 12.

 

Share Vesting Plan

- Vesting Period: 4 years with a 1-year cliff. After the first year, 25% of the shares will vest, with the remaining 75% vesting monthly over the subsequent 36 months.

-Conditional Accelerated Vesting: Accelerated vesting will occur only if The Company is acquired and The Partner has met at least 80% of the milestones prior to acquisition.

If a Partner is deemed a Bad Leaver, all vested and unvested shares will be transferred back to The Company at nominal value.

 

 

Exhibit B: Partner’s Existing Interests and Roles in Other Companies

 

This exhibit lists any existing ownership interests, board roles, advisory positions, or consulting Agreements that The Partner holds in other businesses. These are exempted from the non-compete obligations in Section 9, provided they do not conflict with the business of The Company and do not interfere with The Partner's commitment to The Company.

 

Current Ownership and Roles (If Applicable)

- Eric Thomas holds % equity in a company that operates in (Sector), which does not compete with The Company’s business.

- Eric Thomas serves as an advisor to a startup in (Industry), which has no overlapping interests with The Company.

Any future ownership stakes, advisory roles, or consulting Agreements must be disclosed and pre-approved by the Board. Partners must prioritize their responsibilities to The Company.

 

 

Exhibit C: Incentive Plan

 

This exhibit details the Incentive Plan for The Partner based on both individual and company-wide performance. Incentives will focus on cash bonuses and other forms of compensation, rather than additional equity, to protect against ownership dilution.

 

Cash Incentives

- Upon achieving Milestone 1 (MVP completion), Eric Thomas will be granted a cash bonus of $5,000, provided company reserves permit.

All bonuses are deferred until The Company is financially stable, with reserves permitting, to ensure cash flow is maintained.

 

Revenue-Based Cash Bonuses

- Upon reaching $100,000 in revenue, The Partner will receive a cash bonus of $500, contingent on company profitability.

- Additional bonuses of $2,500 will be awarded for each subsequent $500,000 in revenue, during the first 30 months after signing this Agreement of The Company.

Bonuses will only be awarded if performance and time commitment are met and if The Company’s financial health permits.

 

 

Exhibit D: Revenue Allocation Structure

 

This exhibit outlines how The Company’s revenue will be allocated among The Partners and The Company itself, prioritizing reinvestment into The Company for growth, while profit distributions remain discretionary.

 

Revenue Allocation

Once The Company reaches profitability, revenue will be allocated as follows:

  1. 80% of Net Profits will be reinvested into The Company to fund growth, including product development, marketing, and hiring.
  2. 15% of Net Profits may be distributed to Partners as dividends, at the Board’s discretion and proportional to shareholdings.
  3. The remaining 5% of Net Profits may be distributed and redirected to creators by way of resources and workshops.

Profit Distribution

- Profit distributions will occur at the discretion of the Board, starting only after The Company achieves sustained profitability over at least two consecutive quarters.

- Dividends will be paid out pro rata based on each Partner’s ownership percentage, but only after necessary reinvestments and reserves are met.

 

Expenses

- Operating expenses, including salaries, operational costs, and taxes, will be deducted before profits are calculated.

- Any major expenses (over $50,000) require unanimous Board approval and must be documented in The Company’s financial reports.
