FAQ

What is a custodian and what is a custodial account?

What is a custodian and what is a custodial account?

A custodian is a qualified third-party entity that acts as a legal holder of securities. An investor will open a custodial account with the qualified custodian, which is used to hold investments, namely the securities in a company. A custodial account allows you to name a beneficiary and accept payments such as dividends distributions or cash payouts. Custodial accounts are not managed or held by Republic; instead, they are managed by the custodian who works with the issuer raising on the platform. The custodian of this offering is Brassica Trust Company LLC.

Why use a custodial account?

Why use a custodial account?

Companies will utilize a custodian to ensure that all securities they offer in their campaign are in one place. This means if a liquidity event or any other material event in respect to the securities occurs, the company can look to the custodian to service the securities, rather than each individual investor.

For investors, utilizing a custodian safeguards their investment, or security interest, with a qualified financial institution. Having a custodial account allows for easier transfers and creates additional layers of protection for your securities. For companies, it can increase efficiency by reducing their cap table management costs and creating a single-line item, making future funding rounds easier. 

Will I have to set up a custodial account? What is the process?

Will I have to set up a custodial account? What is the process?

Yes, since the company is utilizing a custodian, all investors in the offering will be required to create a custodial account with Brassica Trust Company LLC and enter into an omnibus nominee agreement.

The custodial account creation process is hosted in our investment checkout system, meaning you will commit your investment and establish your account with Brassica all at once. During investment checkout, you will be automatically prompted to review and sign certain custodial documents with Brassica. In addition, you may be asked to provide certain information to verify your identity. Once completed, you will receive an email confirming your investment commitment. 

I’m being told my custody account is in manual review, what should I do?

I’m being told my custody account is in manual review, what should I do?

Brassica reviews accounts that require manual review on a daily basis. Please expect to receive confirmation of your account being opened or to hear further guidance from our team within 24-48 hours.

Does it cost me anything to open a custodial account with Brassica Trust?

Does it cost me anything to open a custodial account with Brassica Trust?

Right now, there are no costs for investors to open a custodial account.

Custodial accounts do sometimes have a low annual cost to maintain; however, such costs are covered for the investor in this offering at this time.

Why would a company use a custodian like Brassica?

Why would a company use a custodian like Brassica?

Companies will utilize a custodian to ensure that all securities they offer in their campaign are in one place. This means if a liquidity event or any other material event in respect to the securities occurs, the company can look to the custodian to service the securities, rather than each individual investor.

What are the risks associated with investing in equity securities?

What are the risks associated with investing in equity securities?

Equity security investments are subject to market fluctuations, company-specific risks, and general economic conditions. Prices can be volatile, and there is risk of losing the invested capital. 

Remember, investing always carries risks, and it's essential to conduct thorough research or consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions. 

How do I earn a return?

How do I earn a return?

We are issuing equity in our company. You may realize returns if the company “exits,” meaning it is acquired or goes public at a higher price than you paid for it, or if you sell the securities at a higher price than you purchased them for. There is also a risk that you could lose your entire investment if the company fails. Startup investing is risky, so there’s no guarantee of a return on this kind of investment. It’s always best to refer to the individual offering documents provided by the company to understand your investment risks.

Risks

Global crises and geopolitical events, including without limitation, COVID-19 can have a significant effect on our business operations and revenue projections.

A significant outbreak of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis. Additionally, geopolitical events, such as wars or conflicts, could result in global disruptions to supplies, political uncertainty and displacement. Each of these crises could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States where we principally operate, resulting in an economic downturn that could reduce the demand for our products and services and impair our business prospects, including as a result of being unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all.

The amount of capital the Issuer is attempting to raise in this Offering may not be enough to sustain the Issuer’s current business plan.

In order to achieve the Issuer’s near and long-term goals, the Issuer may need to procure funds in addition to the amount raised in the Offering. There is no guarantee the Issuer will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms or at all. If we are not able to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to execute our business plan, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our remaining assets, which could cause an Investor to lose all or a portion of their investment.

We may face potential difficulties in obtaining capital.

We may have difficulty raising needed capital in the future as a result of, among other factors, the inherent business risks associated with present and future market conditions. If adequate funds are unavailable, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research, development or commercialization programs, product launches or marketing efforts, any of which may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may implement new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business.

We may implement new lines of business at any time. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. We may not be successful in introducing new products and services in response to industry trends or developments in technology, or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. As a result, we could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients or be subject to cost increases. As a result, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

We rely on other companies to provide components and services for our products.

We depend on suppliers and contractors to meet our contractual obligations to our customers and conduct our operations. Our ability to meet our obligations to our customers may be adversely affected if suppliers or contractors do not provide the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services in compliance with customer requirements and in a timely and cost-effective manner. Likewise, the quality of our products may be adversely

impacted if companies to whom we delegate manufacture of major components or subsystems for our products, or from whom we acquire such items, do not provide components which meet required specifications and perform to our and our customers’ expectations. Our suppliers may be unable to quickly recover from natural disasters and other events beyond their control and may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations. The risk of these adverse effects may be greater in circumstances where we rely on only one or two contractors or suppliers for a particular component. Our products may utilize custom components available from only one source. Continued availability of those components at acceptable prices, or at all, may be affected for any number of reasons, including if those suppliers decide to concentrate on the production of common components instead of components customized to meet our requirements. The supply of components for a new or existing product could be delayed or constrained, or a key manufacturing vendor could delay shipments of completed products to us adversely affecting our business and results of operations.

We rely on various intellectual property rights, including trademarks, in order to operate our business.

The Issuer relies on certain intellectual property rights to operate its business. The Issuer’s intellectual property rights may not be sufficiently broad or otherwise may not provide us a significant competitive advantage. In addition, the steps that we have taken to maintain and protect our intellectual property may not prevent it from being challenged, invalidated, circumvented or designed-around, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. In some circumstances, enforcement may not be available to us because an infringer has a dominant intellectual property position or for other business reasons, or countries may require compulsory licensing of our intellectual property. Our failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights that convey competitive advantage, adequately protect our intellectual property or detect or prevent circumvention or unauthorized use of such property, could adversely impact our competitive position and results of operations. We also rely on nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these agreements will adequately protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights and will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or other proprietary rights. As we expand our business, protecting our intellectual property will become increasingly important. The protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter our competitors from using our proprietary information. In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may be required to initiate litigation or arbitration against third parties, such as infringement lawsuits. Also, these third parties may assert claims against us with or without provocation. These lawsuits or arbitrations could be expensive, take significant time and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. The law relating to the scope and validity of claims in the technology field in which we operate is still evolving and, consequently, intellectual property positions in our industry are generally uncertain. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these potential suits, arbitrations, or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, would be commercially valuable.

The Issuer’s success depends on the experience and skill of the board of managers, its executive officers and key employees.

We are dependent on our board of managers, executive officers and key employees. These persons may not devote their full time and attention to the matters of the Issuer. The loss of our board of managers, executive officers and key employees could harm the Issuer’s business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

Although dependent on certain key personnel, the Issuer does not have any key person life insurance policies on any such people.

We are dependent on certain key personnel in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan, however, the Issuer has not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, if any of these personnel die or become disabled, the Issuer will not receive any compensation to assist with such person’s absence. The loss of such person could negatively affect the Issuer and our operations. We have no way to guarantee key personnel will stay with the Issuer, as many states do not enforce non-competition agreements, and therefore acquiring key man insurance will not ameliorate all of the risk of relying on key personnel.

The Issuer has the right to extend the Offering Deadline.

The Issuer may extend the Offering Deadline beyond what is currently stated herein. This means that your investment may continue to be held in escrow while the Issuer attempts to raise the Target Offering Amount even after the Offering Deadline stated herein is reached. While you have the right to cancel your investment in the event the Issuer extends the Offering Deadline, if you choose to reconfirm your investment, your investment will not be accruing interest during this time and will simply be held until such time as the new Offering Deadline is reached without the Issuer receiving the Target Offering Amount, at which time it will be returned to you without interest or deduction, or the Issuer receives the Target Offering Amount, at which time it will be released to the Issuer to be used as set forth herein. Upon or shortly after the release of such funds to the Issuer, the Securities will be issued and distributed to you.

Damage to our reputation could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our reputation and the quality of our brands are critical to our business and success in existing markets, and will be critical to our success as we enter new markets. Any incident that erodes consumer loyalty for our brands could significantly reduce their value and damage our business. We may be adversely affected by any negative publicity,

regardless of its accuracy. Also, there has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar devices, including blogs, social media websites and other forms of internet-based communications that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. The availability of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate as is its impact. Information posted may be adverse to our interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may harm our performance, prospects or business. The harm may be immediate and may disseminate rapidly and broadly, without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.

Our business could be negatively impacted by cyber security threats, attacks and other disruptions.

We continue to face advanced and persistent attacks on our information infrastructure where we manage and store various proprietary information and sensitive/confidential data relating to our operations. These attacks may include sophisticated malware (viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs) and phishing emails that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities. These intrusions sometimes may be zero-day malware that are difficult to identify because they are not included in the signature set of commercially available antivirus scanning programs. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of our customers or other third-parties, create system disruptions, or cause shutdowns. Additionally, sophisticated software and applications that we produce or procure from third-parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the information infrastructure. A disruption, infiltration or failure of our information infrastructure systems or any of our data centers as a result of software or hardware malfunctions, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, employee theft or misuse, power disruptions, natural disasters or accidents could cause breaches of data security, loss of critical data and performance delays, which in turn could adversely affect our business.

Security breaches of confidential customer information, in connection with our electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions, or confidential employee information may adversely affect our business.

Our business requires the collection, transmission and retention of personally identifiable information, in various information technology systems that we maintain and in those maintained by third parties with whom we contract to provide services. The integrity and protection of that data is critical to us. The information, security and privacy requirements imposed by governmental regulation are increasingly demanding. Our systems may not be able to satisfy these changing requirements and customer and employee expectations, or may require significant additional investments or time in order to do so. A breach in the security of our information technology systems or those of our service providers could lead to an interruption in the operation of our systems, resulting in operational inefficiencies and a loss of profits. Additionally, a significant theft, loss or misappropriation of, or access to, customers’ or other proprietary data or other breach of our information technology systems could result in fines, legal claims or proceedings.

The use of Individually identifiable data by our business, our business associates and third parties is regulated at the state, federal and international levels.

The regulation of individual data is changing rapidly, and in unpredictable ways. A change in regulation could adversely affect our business, including causing our business model to no longer be viable. Costs associated with information security – such as investment in technology, the costs of compliance with consumer protection laws and costs resulting from consumer fraud – could cause our business and results of operations to suffer materially. Additionally, the success of our online operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. The intentional or negligent actions of employees, business associates or third parties may undermine our security measures. As a result, unauthorized parties may obtain access to our data systems and misappropriate confidential data. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will prevent the compromise of our customer transaction processing capabilities and personal data. If any such compromise of our security or the security of information residing with our business associates or third parties were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, operating results and financial condition. Any compromise of our data security may materially increase the costs we incur to protect against such breaches and could subject us to additional legal risk.

The Issuer is not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations and may lack the financial controls and procedures of public companies.

The Issuer may not have the internal control infrastructure that would meet the standards of a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. As a privately-held (non-public) issuer, the Issuer is currently not subject to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and its financial and disclosure controls and procedures reflect its status as a non-public company. There can be no guarantee that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of the Issuer’s financial and disclosure controls and procedures. If it were necessary to implement such financial and disclosure controls and procedures, the cost to the Issuer of such compliance could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s results of operations.

The Issuer may also end the Offering early.

If the Target Offering Amount is met after 21 calendar days, but before the Offering Deadline, the Issuer can end the Offering by providing notice to Investors at least 5 business days prior to the end of the Offering. This means your failure to participate in the Offering in a timely manner, may prevent you from being able to invest in this Offering – it also means the Issuer may limit the amount of capital it can raise during the Offering by ending the Offering early.

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and if we are found to be in violation of any of the federal, state, or local laws or regulations applicable to us, our business could suffer.

We are also subject to a wide range of federal, state, and local laws and regulations, such as local licensing requirements, and financing, debt collection, consumer protection, environmental, health and safety, creditor, wage- hour, anti-discrimination, whistleblower and other employment practices laws and regulations and we expect these costs to increase going forward. The violation of these or future requirements or laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil, or criminal sanctions against us, which may include fines, a cease and desist order against our operations or even revocation or suspension of our license to operate our business. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur capital and operating expenditures and other costs to comply with these requirements and laws and regulations.

We operate in a highly competitive developing market and we may be unable to compete successfully against existing and future competitors.

The market in which the Issuer operates is highly competitive. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger client bases, longer relationships with clients, greater brand or name recognition, or significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than we do. As a result, they may be in a position to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, and to develop and promote their products and services more effectively than we can. We may not be able to adapt to such technological changes or offer new products on a timely or cost-effective basis or establish or maintain competitive positions. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products and services, or enhancements to existing products and services, in a timely and successful manner, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected, and the market price of our common stock would likely fall.

If we fail to develop and maintain our reputation and brand recognition our business could be adversely affected.

We believe that establishing and maintaining the identity of our brands is critical in attracting and maintaining the number of customers using our products services. Promotion and enhancement of our brands will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide quality products and services. If users do not perceive our products and services to be of high quality, or if we introduce new products and services or enter into new ventures that are not favorably received by users, the uniqueness of our brands could be diminished. If we cannot provide high quality products and services, fail to protect, promote and maintain our brand, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

Our success depends, in part, upon the continued migration of certain markets and industries online and the continued growth and acceptance of online products and services as effective alternatives to traditional offline products and services.

Through our business, we provide a variety of online products and services that continue to compete with their traditional offline counterparts. We believe that the continued growth and acceptance of online products and services generally will depend, to a large extent, on the continued growth in commercial use of the Internet and the continued migration of traditional offline markets and industries online. If for any reason, our business does not migrate online as quickly as we expect and consumers continue, in large part, to rely on traditional offline efforts to connect with one another, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success depends, in part, on our continued ability to develop digital versions of our products.

As consumers increasingly access our products through digital means, we will need to continue to devote significant time and resources to ensure that our products and services are accessible across. If we do not keep pace with evolving online, market and industry trends, offer new and/or enhanced products in response to such trends that resonate with

consumers, technology and infrastructure in an efficient and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, the success of our digital products depends on their interoperability with various third-party operating systems, technology, infrastructure and standards, over which we have no control. Any changes to any of these things that compromise the quality or functionality of our digital products could adversely affect their usage levels and/or our ability to attract consumers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends, in part, on the ability of our digital and online business, including subscriptions, podcasts and newsletters, to successfully expand the digital reach of our products and our brand.

We intend to continue to focus on our digital business, including subscriptions, podcasts and newsletters. If this focus does not generate increased revenue from our digital business, including subscriptions, podcasts and newsletters, and/or if we otherwise do not successfully execute this strategy generally and/or in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The Issuer has the right to conduct multiple closings during the Offering.

If the Issuer meets certain terms and conditions, an intermediate close (also known as a rolling close) of the Offering can occur, which will allow the Issuer to draw down on seventy percent (70%) of Investor proceeds committed and captured in the Offering during the relevant period. The Issuer may choose to continue the Offering thereafter. Investors should be mindful that this means they can make multiple investment commitments in the Offering, which may be subject to different cancellation rights. For example, if an intermediate close occurs and later a material change occurs as the Offering continues, Investors whose investment commitments were previously closed upon will not have the right to re-confirm their investment as it will be deemed to have been completed prior to the material change.

Risks Related to the Securities

Increases in paper and postage prices are difficult to predict and control.

In the case of our print business, paper and postage represent a significant component of costs. Paper is a commodity and its price can be subject to significant volatility. Paper prices increased during 2022 and reached all time-highs in early 2023. Volatility in paper prices, paper supply chain disruptions and/or USPS rate increases could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Developments in non-print media and changes in consumer habits are expected to continue to adversely affect the demand for some of our products.

Trends in non-print media are expected to continue to adversely affect demand for traditional print media. Neither the timing nor the extent of these trends can be predicted with certainty. Our magazine and catalog compete with, non- print media, including multimedia technologies, electronic storage and communication platforms such as websites and social media, which could further reduce consumers’ consumption of any of our paper printed products.

Developments in alternative media could adversely affect the demand for our products.

Trends in advertising, electronic data transmission and storage and the internet have had and likely will continue to have adverse effects on traditional print media, including the use of and demand for some of our products and those of our customers. Our magazine and catalog customers may increasingly use, and compete with businesses that use, other forms of media and advertising and electronic data transmission and storage, particularly the internet, instead of paper. As the use of these alternative media continues to grow, the demand for some of our print products may decline.

We are not currently registered to conduct business in the State of Florida.

The Issuer is formed in and licensed to do business in the State of Delaware. The Issuer does have its own physical office in the State of Florida; provided, however, there are zero employees that conduct business from the State of Florida. The Issuer has not filed all appropriate documentation, obtained necessary authorizations, paid all fees and any taxes owed or obtained all licensing or approvals necessary to conduct business in Florida. The Issuer intends to engage in all such actions as promptly as possible.

Risks Related to the Offering

State and federal securities laws are complex, and the Issuer could potentially be found to have not complied with all relevant state and federal securities law in prior offerings of securities.

The Issuer has conducted previous offerings of securities and may not have complied with all relevant state and federal securities laws. If a court or regulatory body with the required jurisdiction ever concluded that the Issuer may have violated state or federal securities laws, any such violation could result in the Issuer being required to offer rescission rights to investors in such offering. If such investors exercised their rescission rights, the Issuer would have to pay to such investors an amount of funds equal to the purchase price paid by such investors plus interest from the date of any such purchase. No assurances can be given the Issuer will, if it is required to offer such investors a rescission right,

have sufficient funds to pay the prior investors the amounts required or that proceeds from this Offering would not be used to pay such amounts.

In addition, if the Issuer violated federal or state securities laws in connection with a prior offering and/or sale of its securities, federal or state regulators could bring an enforcement, regulatory and/or other legal action against the Issuer which, among other things, could result in the Issuer having to pay substantial fines and be prohibited from selling securities in the future.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of the Securities or the terms of the Offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any Offering document or literature.

You should not rely on the fact that our Form C is accessible through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR filing system as an approval, endorsement or guarantee of compliance as it relates to this Offering. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed this Form C, nor any document or literature related to this Offering.

Neither the Offering nor the Securities have been registered under federal or state securities laws.

No governmental agency has reviewed or passed upon this Offering or the Securities. Neither the Offering nor the Securities have been registered under federal or state securities laws. Investors will not receive any of the benefits available in registered offerings, which may include access to quarterly and annual financial statements that have been audited by an independent accounting firm. Investors must therefore assess the adequacy of disclosure and the fairness of the terms of this Offering based on the information provided in this Form C and the accompanying exhibits.

The Issuer's management may have broad discretion in how the Issuer uses the net proceeds of the Offering.

Unless the Issuer has agreed to a specific use of the proceeds from the Offering, the Issuer’s management will have considerable discretion over the use of proceeds from the Offering. You may not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.

The Intermediary Fees paid by the Issuer are subject to change depending on the success of the Offering.

At the conclusion of the Offering, the Issuer shall pay the Intermediary the greater of (A) the amount determined pursuant to the following schedule: (1) zero percent (0%) of any amounts raised up to $100,000.00 in the Offering and (2) six percent (6%) of any amounts raised exceeding $100,000.01 but not exceeding $5,000,000.00 in the Offering or (B) a cash fee of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00). The Issuer paid to the Intermediary a non- refundable onboarding fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000). The compensation paid by the Issuer to the Intermediary may impact how the Issuer uses the net proceeds of the Offering.

The Issuer has the right to limit individual Investor commitment amounts based on the Issuer’s determination of an Investor’s sophistication.

The Issuer may prevent any Investor from committing more than a certain amount in this Offering based on the Issuer’s determination of the Investor’s sophistication and ability to assume the risk of the investment. This means that your desired investment amount may be limited or lowered based solely on the Issuer’s determination and not in line with relevant investment limits set forth by the Regulation CF rules. This also means that other Investors may receive larger allocations of the Offering based solely on the Issuer’s determination.

The Custodian shall serve as the legal title holder of the Securities. Investors will only obtain a beneficial ownership in the Securities.

The Issuer and the Investor shall appoint and authorize the qualified third-party Custodian for the benefit of the Investor, to hold the Securities in registered form in the Custodian’s name or the name of the Custodian’s nominees for the benefit of the Investor and Investor’s permitted assigns. The Custodian may take direction from the Lead, who will act on behalf of the Investors, and the Custodian may be permitted to rely on the Lead’s instructions related to the Securities. Investors may never become an equity holder, merely a beneficial owner of an equity interest.

Investors will not have voting rights and will grant a third-party nominee broad power and authority to act on their behalf.

In connection with investing in this Offering to purchase the Securities, Investors will designate the Lead (as defined above) to act on behalf as proxy on behalf of Investors in respects to instructions related to the Securities. The Lead will be entitled, among other things, to exercise any voting rights (if any) conferred upon the holder of the Securities, and to execute on behalf of an investor all transaction documents related to the transaction. Thus, by participating in the Offering, investors will grant broad discretion to a third party (the Lead and its agents) to take various actions on their behalf, and investors will essentially not be able to vote upon matters related to the governance and affairs of the Issuer nor take or effect actions that might otherwise be available to holders of the Securities. Investors should not participate in the Offering unless he, she or it is willing to waive or assign certain rights that might otherwise be afforded to a holder of the Securities to the Lead and grant broad authority to the Lead to take certain actions on behalf of the investor.

Investors will not be entitled to any inspection or information rights other than those required by law.

Investors will not have the right to inspect the books and records of the Issuer or to receive financial or other information from the Issuer, other than as required by law. Other security holders of the Issuer may have such rights. Regulation CF requires only the provision of an annual report on Form C and no additional information. Additionally, there are numerous methods by which the Issuer can terminate annual report obligations, resulting in no information rights, contractual, statutory or otherwise, owed to Investors. This lack of information could put Investors at a disadvantage in general and with respect to other security holders, including certain security holders who have rights to periodic financial statements and updates from the Issuer such as quarterly unaudited financials, annual projections and budgets, and monthly progress reports, among other things.

The Securities will not be freely tradable under the Securities Act until one year from when the Securities are issued. Although the Securities may be tradable under federal securities law, state securities regulations may apply, and each Investor should consult with their attorney.

You should be aware of the long-term nature of this investment. There is not now and likely will not ever be a public market for the Securities. Because the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the

securities laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, the Securities have transfer restrictions and cannot be resold in the United States except pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation CF. It is not currently contemplated that registration under the Securities Act or other securities laws will be effected. Limitations on the transfer of the Securities may also adversely affect the price that you might be able to obtain for the Securities in a private sale. Investors should be aware of the long-term nature of their investment in the Issuer. Each Investor in this Offering will be required to represent that they are purchasing the Securities for their own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof. If a transfer, resale, assignment or distribution of the Security should occur the transferee, purchaser, assignee or distribute, as relevant, will be required to sign a new Omnibus Nominee Trust Agreement (attached as Exhibit D). Additionally, Investors will only have a beneficial interest in the Securities, not legal ownership, which may make their resale more difficult as it will require coordination with the Custodian.

There is no present market for the Securities and we have arbitrarily set the price.

The Offering price was not established in a competitive market. We have arbitrarily set the price of the Securities with reference to the general status of the securities market and other relevant factors. The Offering price for the Securities should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Securities and is not based on our net worth or prior earnings. We cannot guarantee that the Securities can be resold at the Offering price or at any other price.

Each Investor must purchase the Securities in the Offering for Investor’s own account for investment.

Each Investor must purchase the Securities for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and each Investor must represent it has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Each Investor must acknowledge and agree that the Subscription Agreement and the underlying securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor representations.

Investors purchasing the Securities in this Offering may be significantly diluted as a consequence of subsequent financings.

The Securities being offering will be subject to dilution. The Issuer may issue additional equity to third-party financing sources and potential strategic partners in amounts that are uncertain at this time, and as a consequence holders of Securities will be subject to dilution in an unpredictable amount. Such dilution will reduce an Investor’s economic interests in the Issuer. The amount of additional financing that may be needed by Issuer will depend upon several contingencies not foreseen at the time of this offering. Each such round of financing (whether from the Issuer or other investors) is typically intended to provide the Issuer with enough capital to reach the next major corporate milestone. If the funds are not sufficient, Issuer may have to raise additional capital at a price unfavorable to the existing investors, including the purchaser. The availability of capital is at least partially a function of capital market conditions that are beyond the control of the Issuer. There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to predict accurately the future capital requirements necessary for success or that additional funds will be available from any source. Failure to obtain such financing on favorable terms could dilute or otherwise severely impair the value of the purchaser’s Issuer securities.

There is no guarantee of a return on an Investor’s investment.

There is no assurance that an Investor will realize a return on their investment or that they will not lose their entire investment. For this reason, each Investor should read this Form C and all exhibits carefully and should consult with their attorney and business advisor prior to making any investment decision.
