SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained in this offering circular. It is not complete and does not contain all the information that may be important to you. We urge you to read the entire offering circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and the related notes included in this offering circular, before deciding to invest in this offering.

 

The Company

 

ModVans designs and manufactures high-tech multipurpose vehicles with camping features and sells direct to consumers on our website, www.modvans.com.

 

To build our vehicles, we buy vans (“chassis”) wholesale from a large manufacturer, such as Ford, and convert them into motorhomes. Technically, we are a “second stage vehicle manufacturer.” We are also a licensed and certified recreational vehicle (“RV”) manufacturer. Our certifications allow our customers access to RV financing, warranties, and insurance. With long term RV financing and low cost RV insurance, our vehicles have monthly costs similar to a new sport utility vehicle (“SUV”).

 

We offer six (6) vehicle models in three (3) different sizes. Our patented, award winning, uniquely designed vehicles fit the sweet spot between SUVs and traditional RVs. Many of our customers replace their everyday vehicle with a ModVans vehicle. Our base models have traditional RV systems with propane heating, status display, and mechanical control switches. Our /X Series features giant batteries, giant solar charging systems, high efficiency direct current (“DC”) heating and cooling, and high-tech, application-based RV monitoring and control systems.

 

Our current chassis are powered by standard internal combustion engines. We are working aggressively on our plan to develop fully electric E-RV models.

 

ModVans has been in business for five (5) years and has delivered over 160 vehicles to customers all over the United States. We have grown production and revenue every year, had GAAP revenue of $4.6 million in 2022, and upgraded our factory from 8,400 to 22,572 square feet in March 2023.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 530 Constitution Avenue, Camarillo, CA 93012, and our telephone number is 805-856-6588. Our website address is www.modvans.com. The information contained in our website does not constitute part of this offering circular.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Class B Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this offering circular, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could suffer and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We have a history of losses from operations and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

 

The Company has a history of losses from inception and there can be no assurance that we will operate profitably. We cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses will not increase in the future. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We may incur net losses in the future as we increase expense levels on research and development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and administration as we expand our production capacity and develop new products.

 

Our business may be affected by certain external factors beyond our control.

 

Companies within the recreational vehicle industry are subject to volatility in operating results due to external factors, such as general economic conditions, credit availability, consumer confidence, employment rates, prevailing interest rates, inflation, other economic conditions affecting consumer attitudes and disposable consumer income, demographic changes and political changes. Specific external factors that may affect our business include:

 

·Overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;

 

·Raw material and commodity price fluctuations;

 

·Availability of raw materials and components used in production;

 

·Legislative, regulatory and tax law and/or policy developments including their potential impact on our customers or suppliers;

 

·Interest rate fluctuations and the availability of credit;

 

·Success of new and existing products and services;

 

·Consumer preferences;

 

·RV retail consumer demographics;

 

·Employment and wage trends;

 

·Consolidation of RV suppliers;

 

·Relative or perceived safety, cost, availability and comfort of recreational vehicle use versus other modes of travel, such as car, cruise ships, air or rail travel; and

 

·General economic, market and political conditions, including war, terrorism and military conflict.

 

 

 

 3 

 

 

Our operations are dependent upon the services of our executive management and other key individuals, in particular our founder and Chief Executive Officer Peter J. Tezza II, and their loss could materially harm us.

 

We rely upon the knowledge, experience and skills of our executive management and other key employees to manage our operations and grow our business. This is particularly true of our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Peter J. Tezza II. Our future success depends on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain executive management, key employees and other qualified personnel. Upon the departure of such employees, our success may depend upon the existence of adequate succession plans. The loss of our executive management or other key employees or the failure to attract or retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on us in the event that our succession plans prove inadequate.

 

Fuel shortages, or high prices for fuel, could have a negative effect on sales of our recreational vehicles.

 

Gasoline or diesel fuel is required for the operation of our current vehicle models. Shortages or rationing of gasoline and diesel fuel, and significant, sudden increases in the price of fuel have had a material adverse effect on the recreational vehicle industry as a whole in the past and could have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

 

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, and any failure to do so may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

We intend to increase our production capacity and expand our business significantly in the coming years. Growing our business rapidly will present challenges for our management team. It will require the acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities and skilled labor. We have limited experience manufacturing our products at a large scale. If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, we could face delays and costs that would harm our ability to meet our growth targets and have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

 

We expect competition for our products and services.

 

Many of our competitors and potential competitors are well established and have greater financial, research and development, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have today. They may have the manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities to complete research, development and commercialization of products more quickly than we can. As of today, there can also be no assurance that current and future competitors will not develop new, enhanced or more cost-effective vehicles.

 

Changes in consumer preferences for our products, or our failure to gauge those preferences, could lead to reduced sales or otherwise negatively impact our business.

 

We cannot be certain that historical consumer preferences for recreational vehicles in general, and our products in particular, will remain consistent. Recreational vehicles are generally used for recreational purposes, and demand for our products may be adversely affected by competition from other activities that occupy consumers’ leisure time and by changes in consumer lifestyle, usage pattern or taste. Similarly, an overall decrease in consumer leisure time may reduce consumers’ willingness to purchase our products.

 

Consumer preferences in vehicles, automotive manufacturers’ responses to those preferences, and governmental mandates could also result in changes in consumer preferences for recreational vehicles or the types of recreational vehicles preferred. These changes could include shifts to smaller vehicles, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles or other unanticipated changes.

 

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

Our ability to remain competitive depends on our ability to provide innovative product offerings. We believe that the introduction of new features, designs and models will be critical to our future success. Products may not be accepted for a number of reasons, including changes in consumer preferences or our failure to properly gauge consumer preferences. Further, we cannot be certain that new product introductions will not reduce revenues from existing models and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our revenues may be adversely affected if our new models and products are not introduced to the market on time or are not successful when introduced. Finally, our competitors’ new products may obtain better market acceptance or render our products obsolete, and/or new technological advances could disrupt our industry.

 

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

 

Our reputation and the quality of our brand are critical to our business. Any incident that erodes consumer loyalty for our brand could significantly reduce its 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.

 

We rely on various intellectual property rights in order to operate our business. Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or any claims that our products or technology infringes upon the rights of others may adversely affect our business.

 

The Company relies on certain intellectual property rights to operate its business. We currently have one (1) patent issued to us and have filed six (6) other patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. However, the Company’s intellectual property rights may not be sufficiently broad or otherwise may not provide 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 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 against third parties, such as infringement lawsuits. Also, these third parties may assert claims against us with or without provocation. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these potential suits or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, would be commercially valuable.

 

 

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

We depend on third parties for chassis and other components of our vehicles, and the loss of any of these suppliers or the disruption of the operations of these suppliers could affect our ability to obtain chassis or components timely or at competitive prices, which would have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

 

We depend on timely and sufficient delivery of chassis and other components from our suppliers. Ford Motor Company is our current primary supplier of chassis and we have an established wholesale purchasing relationship with Ford. Many of our component parts and materials are purchased from third parties. While van chassis are available from other manufacturers, our current designs and patterns are specific to the Ford Transit chassis. It would take time to change our designs to a different chassis and establish new wholesale purchasing arrangements with another manufacturer. In contrast, many of the parts and materials we purchase from third parties are available from multiple manufacturers and vendors. Nevertheless, it would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations if we were to lose any of our suppliers or if their operations were disrupted in a manner that resulted in delays in our ability to obtain chassis or other components timely or at competitive prices.

 

We experienced some of these issues in 2021 and 2022, as there was a shortage of available Ford Transit chassis due to the COVID-induced global chip shortage. We received none of the 2021 Transits we ordered wholesale from Ford but maintained and grew production by purchasing Ford Transits on the retail market from Ford dealers throughout the US and by developing a “Bring Your Own Chassis” program for our customers. We received 50% of our ordered 2022 Transits and expect production to return to normal levels in 2024. There can be no assurance that future shortages won’t affect our future production.

 

If customers are unable to obtain financing, we may incur decreased sales.

 

About 85% of all new car purchases are financed and about 90% of RVs are financed. As a certified RV manufacturer, ModVans offers its customers the option to finance their purchase through lenders that offer RV financing. RV financing is a well-established industry. Banks and other lenders typically offer consumers the option to finance RV purchases with terms up to 20 years. Any regulation affecting our ability to offer financing through third party lenders would adversely affect our business, and higher interest rates and decreased availability of consumer credit may adversely affect our sales.

 

If we were to become subject to product liability and other claims against us, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.

 

We may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to litigation involving product liability and other claims against us, including, without limitation, wrongful death, personal injury and warranties. We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future claims against us. Any claims may cause the premium that we are required to pay for insurance to increase significantly.

 

Our products and services may experience quality problems from time to time, including from vendor-supplied parts, that could result in decreased sales and gross margin and could harm our reputation.

 

Our products contain hundreds of parts, many of which are supplied to us by vendors. As with all of our competitors, defects may occur in our products, including from components or materials purchased from our vendors. We cannot assure you that we will detect all such defects prior to distribution of our products. In addition, we cannot assure you that if a defect in a vendor-supplied part were to occur that the vendor would have the ability to financially rectify the defect. Failure to detect defects in our products, including vendor-supplied parts, could result in lost revenue, increased warranty and related costs and could harm our reputation.

 

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 subject to a wide range of federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the manufacture and sale of our products and the conduct of our business in general. We are subject, for example, to consumer protection and unfair trade practice, environmental, health and safety, advertising, intellectual property, tax, privacy, creditor, wage-hour, anti-discrimination, whistleblower and other employment practices laws and regulations. The violation of these or future requirements of laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil, or criminal sanctions against us, which may include fines, a cease-and-desist order against the subject operations, or other actions that could materially adversely affect our operating results. We have incurred and will continue to incur capital and operating expenditures and other costs to comply with these requirements and laws and regulations, and we expect these costs to increase as we expand our operations.

Risks Related to the Offering

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.

 

We have not paid dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.

 

You will not have a significant influence on management of the Company.

 

Our executive officers and directors will make decisions regarding the day-to-day management of the Company. Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, you will not have the ability to vote on the election of directors or any other matter. You will not have the power to take part in the management of the Company and should not purchase shares in this offering unless you are willing to entrust management of the Company to our executive officers and directors.

 

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

 

The Company 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) Company, the Company is currently not subject to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and its financial and disclosure controls and procedures reflect its status as an early-stage non-public company. There can be no guarantee that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of the Company's financial and disclosure controls and procedures. If it were necessary to implement such financial and disclosure controls and procedures, the cost to the Company of such compliance could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

 

There is no established trading market for the shares.

 

There is no currently established trading market for the Company’s Class B Stock and none may develop. As a result, if you want to resell your shares in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer. You also may not be able to pledge the shares as collateral.

 

The Company arbitrarily set the offering price.

 

The offering price for the shares has been determined by us and is not necessarily related to our asset value, net worth, earnings, or other criteria of value. The factors considered in determining the offering price include an evaluation by management of the history and prospects for our industry and our earnings prospects. We cannot guarantee that the Class B Stock can be resold at the offering price or at any other price. The offering price will increase during the offering period based on the passage of time. As a result, later investors will pay more for the same amount of stock.

 

There is no guarantee of a return of your investment or of any specific rate of return.

 

There is no assurance that an investor will realize a return on their investment or that they will not lose their entire investment.

 

 

 

 7 

 

 

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

 

We have raised capital in private placements of our securities and pursuant to the Commission’s Regulation Crowdfunding. These securities were not registered with the Commission or any state agency in reliance upon exemptions from such registration requirements. Such exemptions are highly technical in nature. If a court or regulatory body with the required jurisdiction were to conclude that we violated state or federal securities laws in connection with an offering of our securities, we could be required to offer rescission rights to investors in such offering, or could be subject to enforcement, regulatory or other legal action. In addition, investors would have the right to sue for damages or to rescind their purchases of our securities.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation includes a forum selection provision, which could discourage lawsuits against us and limit investors’ ability to bring claims against us in judicial forums they might find preferable.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the following actions against us may only be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case, provided that the Court of Chancery has personal jurisdiction over any indispensable parties named as defendants in the action. This provision may discourage lawsuits against us and limit investors’ ability to bring these claims against us in forums they might find preferable.

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·Have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

·Submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on- frequency”; and

 

·Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b- 2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our Class B Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class B Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class B Stock and the price of our securities may be more volatile.

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants equity incentives like options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units) to its founders and early employees and advisors at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a larger sum for their shares than the founders, early employees and advisors, and earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares can be viewed as worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier stockholders for your shares.

 

The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis at September 21, 2023 the number of shares of capital stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price per share paid to us by existing stockholders and by investors purchasing shares of Class B Stock in the offering, before deducting estimated offering expenses and assuming all shares are sold in this offering at the initial offering price of $0.40 per share. All share amounts and prices per share have been adjusted to give effect to the 85 to 1 stock split effected by the Company on September 13, 2023.

 

Class of Securities Shares Issued   Total Consideration   Average Price per Share

The table above excludes 12,546,425 shares of Class B Stock underlying restricted stock units awarded under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The following table demonstrates the dilution that new investors in the Company’s Class B Stock will experience upon investment in the Company. Our deficit in net tangible book value on December 31, 2022 was approximately ($853,190), or ($0.0047393) per share of common stock. Deficit in net tangible book value per share of common stock represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Dilution per share as represented below is based upon the difference between the initial offering price of $0.40 per share and the net tangible book value per share of common stock, as adjusted, immediately after this offering, and is based upon 136 million shares of Class A Stock and 44,024,305 shares of Class B Stock outstanding prior to the offering.

Future Dilution

 

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the Company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to that company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the Company issues more shares, the percentage of the Company that you own will go down, even though the value of the Company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger Company.

 

If the Company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early-stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company). Dilution can also occur when a company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings.

 

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the Company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can change by actions taken by the company in the future.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The Company is offering up to $75,000,000 of its Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. The price per share will be determined based upon the date an investor delivers a properly completed subscription agreement and pays the purchase price for the shares subscribed for. The purchase price will be $0.40 for the month in which the offering commences and the two calendar months thereafter. On the first day of the next succeeding month, and after each succeeding two-month period thereafter, the price per share will increase by $0.05 per share. By way of example, if the offering commenced on November 15, 2023, the price per share would be $0.40 through January 31, 2024, $0.45 for February and March 2024, $0.50 for April and May 2024, with similar increases after each two-month period until the Termination Date (as defined below). As a result, the maximum number of shares to be sold in the offering will not exceed 187,500,000. The shares are being sold on a “best-efforts” basis. The minimum purchase per investor is $1,000; provided, however, that we may accept subscriptions for less than this amount in our discretion.

 

We plan to market the securities in this offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media and posting our offering circular or “testing the waters” materials on an online investment platform. We expect the shares offered in the offering will be sold primarily by our officers and directors. We also may sell shares through registered broker-dealers, but have no such arrangements as of the date of this offering circular.

 

Any participation of our officers and directors in selling efforts for all classes of securities in this offering will be conducted in accordance with Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). None of our officers or directors are subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. None of our officers or directors will be compensated in connection with their participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. None of our officers or directors are, or have been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and none of them are, or have been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, our officers and directors will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Officers and directors will be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred by them in connection with the offering.

 

The offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024, (ii) the date at which $75,000,000 of shares has been sold in the offering, or (iii) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its discretion (“Termination Date”).

Process of Subscribing

 

In order to invest, you will be required to complete a subscription agreement (see Exhibit 4.1 to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part). Investment in the offering is suitable only if an investor does not need liquidity in this investment and can afford to lose all or substantially all of the investment. An investor in the offering is not required to be an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If an investor does not meet the definition of an accredited investor, however, the investor may not invest more than: (a) 10% of the greater of his or her annual income or net worth (for natural persons); or (b) 10% of the greater of its annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

 

An “accredited investor” is defined as:

 

(i)A bank as defined in section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

(ii)A private business development company as defined in section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

 

(iii)Any organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or partnership not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the shares, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

 

(iv)An individual whose net worth, individually or in addition to that of his or her spouse, at the present time, exceeds $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such individual’s primary residence);

 

(v)An individual who has had individual income in each of the two most recent years in excess of $200,000 or joint income with his or her spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and who reasonably expects the same income level in the present year;

 

(vi)An entity, all of the equity owners of which are “accredited investors;” or

 

(vii)An individual or entity who may otherwise be deemed an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We will review each subscription and notify each prospective investor of whether his, her or its subscription has been accepted or rejected. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to accept any subscription tendered in connection with this offering. Subscription funds received from prospective investors whose subscriptions we do not accept will be promptly returned to such subscribers, without interest. In the event the offering is oversubscribed, we will, in our discretion, allot a lesser number of shares than are subscribed by any method that we deem proper. Subscriptions will only be accepted for full shares, and no fractional shares will be issued.

 

Upon acceptance of a subscription, the Company will send a confirmation of such acceptance to the subscriber. Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will issue shares to the investor. The Company will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Company has set up an account for the investor. We will not issue shares in physical or paper form. Instead, our shares will be recorded and maintained on our stockholder register.

Provisions of Note in our Subscription Agreement

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the Company based on the agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the subscription agreement. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits that may be brought to enforce contractual rights and obligations under the subscription agreement and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the Company. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the United States Securities & Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision may not be used to bring actions in state courts for suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to this agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the subscription agreement an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The maximum dollar amount of Class B Stock that we will sell in this offering is $75,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering Amount”). We estimate that if we sell the Maximum Offering Amount of shares, our net proceeds from the sale of Class B Stock will be approximately $69,625,000, after deducting estimated offering expenses of $1,625,000 and estimated marketing expenses for the offering of approximately $3,735,000. Such offering expenses are expected to consist of legal, accounting and printing expenses and credit card processing and/or wire transfer fees for online investments. Marketing expenses are expected to consist of advertising and promotional expenses for the offering, including the development and purchase of advertising on social media platforms such as Facebook.

 

The primary purposes of the offering are as follows:

 

  · to lease, buy or build a larger manufacturing facility to expand our production capacity;

The table above represents our best estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds of the offering, based upon the current status of our operations, our current plans and current economic conditions. The amount and timing of expenditures will vary depending upon a number of factors, including progress of our operations, technical advances, terms of collaborative arrangements and changes in competitive conditions. We reserve the right to change the amount of the net proceeds that will be used for any purpose to the extent that management determines that a change is advisable. Accordingly, management will have broad discretion regarding the application of the net proceeds of the offering.

 

Pending application of the net proceeds of the offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing investments, such as bank certificates of deposit, United States government obligations and money market instruments.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

ModVans designs and manufactures high-tech multipurpose vehicles with camping features and sells direct to consumers on our website, www.modvans.com. ModVans is a certified RV manufacturer and is listed in JD Power’s NADA Guides.

 

We are a “second stage vehicle manufacturer.” To build our vehicles, we buy vans (“chassis”) wholesale from a large manufacturer such as Ford and convert them into Class B motorhomes. We are also a licensed and certified recreational vehicle manufacturer, which allows our customers access to RV financing, warranties, and insurance. With long term RV financing and low cost RV insurance, our vehicles have monthly costs similar to new SUVs. Many of our customers replace their everyday vehicle with a ModVans vehicle.

 

We offer six (6) vehicle models in three (3) different sizes. ModVans’ vehicles feature unique designs targeted to large consumer vehicle market segments. Our base models have traditional RV systems with propane heating, status display, and mechanical control switches. Our three (3) /X Series models feature giant batteries, giant solar charging systems, high efficiency DC heating and cooling, and high-tech, application-based RV monitoring and control systems. Our batteries, solar charging system, heating system, circuit boards, firmware, app and cloud servers were developed from the ground up, in-house by full time ModVans employees.

 

Currently the chassis we build on are powered by standard internal combustion engines. We are working aggressively on our plan to develop fully electric E-RV models.

 

In October 2017, ModVans launched with three (3) employees out of a 2,400 square foot industrial warehouse in Ventura, California. We quickly filled the space and maxed out production at two (2) vehicles per month with eight (8) employees. In early 2020, we moved to an 8,400 square foot industrial warehouse in Oxnard, California. Once again, we outgrew this space quickly, and maxed out production capacity at five to ten (5 to 10) vehicles per month with 25 employees and inventory spread out across three (3) locations. In March 2023 we moved to our current facility, a 22,572 square foot industrial warehouse located in Camarillo, California. Since our first sales in 2018, ModVans has delivered over 160 vehicles to customers all over the United States. We have grown revenue every year, generated revenue of approximately $4.6 million in 2022, and believe we are on a pace to achieve $6 million in revenue in 2023.

 

One of the primary factors hindering the growth of ModVans has been insufficient production capacity to meet the current demand for our vehicles. The principal purposes of this offering are to raise funds to lease, buy or build a larger manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada (or another suitable location) to expand our production capacity from five to ten (5-10) vehicles per month to 100 vehicles per month, purchase additional inventory and new manufacturing equipment, and to fund expenditures on research and development, particularly the continued design and development of the E-CV1, our first all-electric model.

 

We are raising money to add an additional production facility in Reno, Nevada, or another suitable location, and establish an RV campground thereon, complete with on-site employee housing (provided we raise at least $50,000,000 in this offering), grow current production from five to ten (5-10) vehicles per month to one hundred (100) vehicles per month by purchasing additional manufacturing equipment and inventory, and continue to develop our new fully electric E-CV1 model.

Our Products

 

ModVans builds six (6) different models in three (3) different sizes. Our base models have traditional RV systems with propane heating, status display, and mechanical control switches. Our /X Series models feature giant batteries (the largest available in any production RV), high efficiency DC heating and cooling, and a high-tech, app-based RV monitoring and control system.

 

CV1. The model CV1 was the first in a planned line of several vehicles. It is a camper van, passenger vehicle, and work truck all in one. It features removable, modular components that allow owners to adjust the layout for their activities. The CV1 is based on the low-roof, medium-length Ford Transit chassis, making it affordable, easy to drive, easy to park, and serviceable by any Ford dealer. Our first CV1 was delivered in June 2018. The CV1 has traditionally been our best-selling model, and our CV1 was chosen the winner of the “Van Life” category at the 2019 RV Experience (“RVX”), an RV industry trade show in Salt Lake City.

This model features a unique floorplan and several innovative features such as a popup top and “popup semi-dry” bathroom. The MH1 shares its modular nature, seating system, and appliances with our CV1 and CV1/M models. In comparison to our CV1 and CV1/M, which are intended to be SUV replacements, the MH1 competes more squarely with Class B RVs such as Winnebago’s Revel and Solis and Thor’s Sanctuary and Tellaro. Customer deliveries of the MH1 started in Q3 2022. The ModVans MH1 was named the “Coolest and most Innovative Camper Van” for 2022 by StrangerPalooza, a website and YouTube channel focused on Class B RVs and tips on RV buying, living and travel.

E-CV1. ModVans plans to develop a line of electric vehicle (“EV”) based multipurpose vehicles. Our first vehicle is under development and is code-named E-CV1. To speed development, minimize risk and costs, and maintain our “second stage” vehicle manufacturing model, we intend to adopt an EV “skateboard” chassis designed and manufactured by a yet to be determined vendor. To meet the unique needs of our customer base, we plan to design our own vehicle bodies and to merge chassis and RV systems such as electrical, cooling and heating.

 

ModVans believes that the future of all vehicles will be fully electric powered at first by lithium batteries, then by fuel cells or other electric storage systems. The /X series was designed so that its electric systems and controls can be easily moved onto an Electric Vehicle platform.

  

We believe that our experience building and delivering our current line of Internal Combustion Engine (“ICE”) vehicles and RV control systems give us a substantial competitive advantage. The E-CV1 will combine all the best designs, features and knowledge gained from delivering our current line of vehicles to paying customers. We believe that our manufacturing capacity and experience will enable us to capitalize on the fast-growing EV market more quickly than competitors with less real-world experience.

In addition to selling completed vehicles, ModVans may sell its systems and parts to third parties. We have an extensive set of custom designed and manufactured parts that we believe are desirable within the camper van community. For example, we have received thousands of sale inquiries about our driver and passenger cargo door accessories, pop-up tops, pop-up bathroom and other unique features. At the present time, we do not sell parts separately from our complete vehicles, but it is a future potential source of revenue.

 

Customer Experience

 

When a customer decides to purchase a ModVans vehicle, they place their order online on our website. They select the vehicle model, choose options and make a deposit, typically between $1,000 and $7,000. Based on the model and options selected and our current production schedule, the reservation system automatically provides a price and estimated delivery date.

 

When an online order is made, a ModVans team member contacts the customer to confirm selections and make any requested changes. A sales order is then generated and electronically signed. The sales order contains all customer selections and converts the customer’s online order payment into a non-refundable deposit.

With the sales order and deposit secured, ModVans either orders the customer’s chassis from a vendor or assigns a matching chassis from our “stock” chassis inventory. Ordering a new chassis typically takes about 12 weeks to arrive at our factory while stock chassis are immediately available for ModVans production. A typical ModVans RV conversion involves over 2,000 parts, including off-the-shelf parts, which are ordered from various manufacturers and distributors, and custom parts, such as the pop-up top, cabinets and /X Series battery modules and circuit boards, which are manufactured in-house by ModVans or custom manufactured by vendors to ModVans’ designs and specifications. It currently takes our team 2-6 weeks to complete a conversion. We are working to implement more efficient production techniques in order to significantly decrease vehicle manufacturing time. For example, we use wiring harnesses manufactured to our specifications by a vendor, but some wiring connections are made during final assembly with hand crimping tools. We are in the process of adding connectors to all wiring harnesses and assemblies so no manual crimping will be required during final assembly.

 

While the customer’s vehicle is being built, we work with them to finalize payment or financing and travel arrangements. Most customers come to the ModVans factory to take delivery of their vehicle so they can meet us in person and receive hands-on training. Shipping is available at an additional cost for customers that prefer to have their ModVans vehicle delivered. Most of our customers are new to RV ownership. In the future, we plan to build an RV campground at our factory so customers taking delivery can stay with us a few days to give them extra time to learn how to use their new ModVans RV with easy access to ModVans sales and support team members. This campground will also include on-site employee housing.

 

Demonstrations

 

A drawback from selling vehicles exclusively online is that potential customers are unable to physically view a vehicle prior to purchase. As such, we provide in-person demonstrations at our manufacturing facility.

 

To expand access to in-person demonstrations, in 2021, ModVans built a set of demo vehicles and exhibited them at “adventure vehicle” consumer shows across the United States, including Adventure Van Expo, and Overland Expo. The show venues are primarily outdoors with minimal exhibit requirements. Since then, we have continued to update our demo vehicles to show new options or models and added new shows to our exhibit events schedule.

 

In the next 12 months, ModVans plans to launch its Vanbassador program. Potential customers will be able to request and schedule in-person or Zoom demos via our website. As part of this program, our nationwide, growing base of ModVans customers can opt to be contacted for hourly pay or a referral fee to meet with potential customers to demo their personally owned ModVans vehicle.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our success and ability to compete will be enhanced by our ability to develop and maintain proprietary aspects of our technology and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect the proprietary aspects of our business.

 

ModVans holds U.S. patent number 11,572,006B2, issued on February 7, 2023, for a “Vehicle with a Slide-Up Roof.” We have six (6) other patent applications pending in the United States for the following inventions:

 

·         Modular, Multi-Purpose Vehicle
·         Boxes to Mount Air Conditioning Appliances Under Vehicle Floor
·         Vehicle Wall Extension Uses Vehicle Windows
·         Modular, Popup, Semi-Dry Bathroom
·         Vehicle Floor Layer Battery
·         Strong, Lightweight, easy to assemble cabinets with curved corners

 

We also hold common law trademark rights in our ModVans trademark and the names of our vehicle models. We operate and own the domain name registration for the website at www.modvans.com, where we provide information about the Company and our vehicles.

Market and Competition

 

ModVans vehicles are considered Class B motorhomes, also known as camper vans. A camper van is the smallest of the three (3) main types of motorhomes and offers a comfortable travel experience without the intimidating size of a larger motor coach. The Class B RVs are compact and can be used as daily drivers, plus they feature amenities like a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. They are the easiest to drive, offer the best fuel economy among motorhomes, and are often less expensive than Class A or Class C motorhomes.

 

In contrast, a Class A motorhome is usually built on a commercial bus or commercial truck chassis. They are significantly larger than camper vans, more expensive, and have worse fuel economy. A Class C motorhome typically features a raised sleeping or storage area that extends over the cab of the RV. Class C motorhomes are less expensive than Class A motorhomes and have gas mileage in between Class A and Class B motorhomes.

 

While in a broad sense we compete with all types of RVs for customers, our primary competition comes from providers of Class B RVs, many of whom also offer Class A and/or Class C motorhomes.

 

Many of our competitors, such as Winnebago and Thor, are well established RV manufacturers and have greater name recognition, financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, technical and other resources than we have today. These competitors may be able to compete effectively with us because in addition to the above-listed factors, they may be able to more quickly introduce new models and technologies, more rapidly address customer requirements, and devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their vehicles than we can. We also may face competition from newly established competitors. There can be no assurance that current and future competitors will not develop new and enhanced or more cost-effective vehicles.

 

We believe that we will be able to successfully compete with these competitors because of the superior features of our vehicles described above.

 

Large RV Manufacturers

 

Large RV Manufacturers have traditionally designed camping vehicles for retired individuals and couples. During COVID, the market changed and several manufacturers launched Class B RVs with pop-up tops and two (2) beds. However, the vast majority of these manufacturers do not offer the size, style, and feature combinations of ModVans vehicles, which make our vehicles multipurpose.

 

Custom/Bespoke Camper Van Builders

 

There are many custom camper van builders. For the right price and a long wait time, some builders offer some of the features available in ModVans vehicles. Very few custom builders are certified RV manufacturers. This means that, unlike ModVans, their customers do not have access to RV financing, warranties, and insurance. Long-term RV financing helps make RVs affordable to a much larger market, as over 90% of RVs are financed with long term loans.

 

Minivans, SUVs, and Pickup Trucks

 

Large vehicle manufacturers are focused more towards transitioning to EV platforms, competing with startup EV manufacturers such as Tesla and Rivian, and are not focused on the RV market. We do not expect to see any large vehicle manufacturer currently offer a directly competitive vehicle.

 

Employees

 

ModVans currently has 30 full-time employees and one (1) part-time employee.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

In the normal course of business, we may be subject to litigation. At present, there are no legal proceedings pending against us or our directors or executive officers.

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

We do not own any real property. We lease 22,572 square feet at 530 Constitution Avenue, Camarillo, California 93012, which serves as our principal office as well as the manufacturing facility for ModVan’s products. The initial lease term for this facility expires in April 2028. The current monthly base rent under this lease is $23,000 and is subject to increases of approximately 4% per year. In addition, we are responsible for certain operating expenses, repairs, insurance, and taxes relating to the property, which we currently estimate to be approximately $2,935 per month. The lease required a security deposit of $92,754.

 

We believe that this facility is generally in good condition and suitable to carry on our current business, although our plans are to lease, build or buy a larger manufacturing facility as we grow our business so that we can support increased production of ModVans vehicles. See “Use of Proceeds.” We also believe that, if required, suitable alternative or additional space will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes to the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this offering circular. In addition to historical information, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this offering circular contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking information because of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this offering circular.

 

General

 

We design and manufacture high-tech multipurpose vehicles with camping features and sell directly to consumers on our website, www.modvans.com. Our vehicles include six (6) models in three (3) different sizes. Our patented, award winning, uniquely designed vehicles fit in the sweet spot between SUVs and traditional RVs. We delivered our first ModVans vehicle in 2018. We increased revenue in each of the last five (5) years and have delivered over 160 vehicles to customers all over the United States.

 

Our growth has been limited by production capacity. Revenue growth also was limited in 2021 by a shortage of Ford Transit chassis due to the COVID-induced global chip shortage. We received none of the 2021 Transits we ordered wholesale from Ford but maintained and grew production by purchasing Ford Transits on the retail market from Ford dealers throughout the US and by developing a “Bring Your Own Chassis” program for our customers. We received 50% of our ordered 2022 Transits and expect production to return to normal levels in 2024.

 

We intend to use the proceeds of this offering primarily to lease, buy or build a larger manufacturing facility, to expand our production capacity, to purchase additional inventory and new manufacturing equipment, to fund research and development of our vehicles, predominantly, the E-CV1, and to fund our working capital and for other corporate purposes, we also plan to and establish an RV campground on the site complete with employee on-site housing, provided we raise at least $50,000,000 in this offering.

 

We are a Delaware corporation formed in 2021 in order to effect the reincorporation by merger of WebTez, Inc., a Georgia corporation formed by our founder, Peter J. Tezza II, in 2012.

Financial Condition

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our total assets were $1,790,855 and $1,023,484, respectively. The largest components of our assets were inventory, which was $479,796 and $333,958 at year end 2022 and 2021, respectively, and prepaids and other current assets, which was $652,514 and $322,549 at year end 2022 and 2021, respectively. Inventory consists primarily of parts, materials and vehicles in process but not yet delivered to the customer. Total liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $2,644,045 and $936,698, respectively, consisting primarily of deferred revenue, a small business administration loan, and related party loans. The increase in liabilities from 2021 to 2022 was principally due to an increase in deferred revenue from $543,350 at year end 2021 to $1,802,980 at year-end 2022. We record deferred revenue when we receive a customer deposit but have not yet delivered a vehicle to the customer. Revenue is recognized for an order when we deliver a vehicle to a customer and have satisfied our performance obligations. The significant increase in deferred revenue at year-end 2022 compared to year-end 2021 resulted from increased orders that were still in production and had not yet been delivered to customers. Our total stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was ($853,190) and $86,786, respectively.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues increased from 2021 to 2022, from $3,504,390 to $4,620,686, principally due to increased ModVans vehicles sold. While cost of goods sold increased from $4,023,830 in 2021 to $ 4,417,862 in 2022, for the first time since 2019, we achieved positive gross profit in 2022, when gross profit was $202,824 compared to a negative $519,440 in 2021. Our positive gross profit in 2022 was due primarily to increased sales, tempered by increases in the price of raw parts and materials compared to 2021.

 

Operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, and sales and marketing expenses. Although sales and marketing expenses decreased from $151,134 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $42,829 for the year ended December 31, 2022, our other operating expenses increased over these periods as we grew our business. We increased research and development expenses from $16,994 to $44,088, enabling us to expand our portfolio from one (1) vehicle model, the CV1, to six (6) vehicle models in three (3) different sizes. We also increased general and administrative expenses from $1,229,698 to $1,510,507, mainly due to higher payroll costs.

 

After factoring in other income and interest expense, our net loss for 2022 was $1,410,570 compared to $1,746,672 in 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company held $15,993 in cash and cash equivalents and $322,549 in prepaids and other current assets. By year end December 31, 2022, the Company had increased its cash position to $25,472, and prepaids and other current assets to $652,514. The increase in prepaid and other current assets in 2022 was predominately due to the Company expanding production capacity by purchasing additional chassis parts for vehicles that had not yet been delivered.

 

During the past two years, we have financed our operations principally through capital contributions, loans from our principal stockholder, and a small business administration loan. At December 31, 2022, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of $853,190, a working capital deficiency of $994,075, and an accumulated deficit of $4,902,090. At December 31, 2021, we had total stockholders’ equity of $86,786, a working capital deficiency of $67,647, and an accumulated deficit of $3,486,847.

Net cash used in operating activities was $113,953 for the year ended December 31, 202 2, compared to $1,359,500 for the comparable period of 2021. The decrease in cash used in operations was principally the result of the following items:

 

·A decrease in the net loss, which was $1,410,570 for 2022, compared with $1,746,672 for 2021; and

 

·A $1,259,630 increase in deferred revenue for 2022, compared to an increase of $48,316 for 2021, resulting in a net decrease in cash used of $1,011,314.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $23,718 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $43,854 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in 2022 was due to decreased purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $147,149 for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1,308,839 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2022 was the result of proceeds of $99,992 from the sale of Series Seed Two Preferred Stock, $47,588 from the sale of Class B Stock (net of issuance costs) and $43,000 from stockholder loans, offset by loan repayments totaling $43,430. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2021 was primarily the result of proceeds of $800,000 from the sale of Simple Agreements for Future Equity, $341,752 from the sale of Class B Stock (net of issuance costs), $109,130 from a Small Business Administration loan, and $63,765 from stockholder loans, offset by loan repayments totaling $5,808.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

We have experienced losses from operations, negative cash flow, and liquidity problems. Our independent accountant’s report accompanying our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of reported assets or liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

We have been able to continue based upon our receipt of funds from the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. We have also increased our sales faster than we have increased our cost of goods sold, which enabled us to achieve gross profit from operations in 2022. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to produce and grow revenues, continue to achieve operating profit, and obtain financing from this offering and possibly other sources that are sufficient to meet our current and future obligations and enable our business to expand and achieve profitability. The eventual outcome of this offering or our ability to obtain additional funding cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty.

 

We currently anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering and our operating income will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the next 12 months. If our operating income together with the proceeds of this offering are not sufficient to satisfy our financing needs, we will be required to seek additional funding or revise our business plan to reduce expenses. Additional funding options could include bank and other borrowings and additional sales of our securities, including equity securities. There can be no assurance that such additional funds, if required, will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

If the Company becomes a public reporting company in the future, it will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which the Company refers to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as the Company remains an “emerging growth company,” the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

·not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
·taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;
·being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements; and
·being exempt from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If the Company becomes a public reporting company under the Exchange Act in the future, the Company expects to take advantage of relaxed reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Company would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of its Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the Company would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

 

If the Company does not become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

 

In either case, the Company will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” and its unitholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

The value of the vehicle as of the date of the Vehicle Lease was $244,622. The term of the lease is 240 months and interest accrues at an annual rate of 7.5%. At the conclusion of the lease, if all payments are made, the total cost of the Vehicle Lease will be $444,661, excluding any cost of repairing excess wear and tear to the van. The Company recognized a right-of-use asset and liability pertaining to this related party transaction.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We are offering up to 187,500,000 shares of our Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (“Class B Stock”) to investors in this offering at an initial price of $0.40 per share for the month in which the offering commences and the two calendar months thereafter. On the first day of the next succeeding month, and after each succeeding two-month period thereafter, the price per share will increase by $0.05 per share. By way of example, if the offering commenced on November 15, 2023, the price per share would be $0.40 through January 31, 2024, $0.45 for February and March 2024, $0.50 for April and May 2024, with similar increases after each two-month period until the Termination Date.

With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, all shares of the Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock shall rank (i) in parity with each other; (ii) senior to the Common Stock and any other class or series of Preferred Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation created in the future and specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Series Seed Preferred Stock or Series Seed Two Preferred Stock; and (iii) junior to any other class or series of Preferred Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation created in the future and specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series Seed Preferred Stock or Series Seed Two Preferred Stock.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company or a change in control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock), before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, the holders of the Company’s Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, in parity with each other, an amount in cash equal to the liquidation preference of such shares. The liquidation preferences of the Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock currently are approximately $0.14 per share and $0.34 per share, respectively (in each case as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividends, recapitalizations, or similar transaction with respect to such series).

 

After the payment in full of its respective liquidation preference, holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock are entitled to participate with the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based upon the number of shares held by each such holder, in the distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders after any required distribution have been made with respect to the shares.

 

The Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Two Preferred Stock have no preemptive, conversion, or similar rights, and there are no redemptive or sinking fund provisions applicable to such stock.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S AUDIT REPORT

 

 

To the Board of Directors

Modvans Inc.

Camarillo, California

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the financial statements of Modvans Inc. which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Modvans, Inc. as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Modvans, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Modvans, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for period of twelve months from the end of the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements.

 

 

 

 F-2 

 

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

    Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

     Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

•    Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Modvans, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

•    Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

•    Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Modvans, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

 

 

 

April 24, 2023, except for the forward stock split retrospectively presented in these financial statements and equity financings as described in Note 10, as to which the date is September 21, 2023.

For Years Ended December 31, 2022 AND December 31, 2021

 

 

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

WebTez, Inc. was formed on February 15, 2012 (“Inception”) in the State of Georgia, then reincorporated in Delaware as ModVans Inc. on August 23, 2021 due to a merger into ModVans Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation (which may be referred to as the "Company", "we," "us," or "our". The Company's headquarters are located in Camarillo, California.

 

ModVans designs and manufactures high-tech multipurpose vehicles with camping features and sells direct to consumers on our website, www.modvans.com. ModVans offers 6 vehicle models in 3 different sizes. Our award winning, uniquely designed vehicles fit the sweet spot between SUVs and traditional RVs. Many of customers replace their everyday vehicle.

 

To build our vehicles, we buy vans (“chassis”) wholesale from a large manufacturer such as Ford and convert them into motorhomes. Technically, we are a “second stage vehicle manufacturer.” We are also a licensed and certified RV manufacturer, which allows our customers access to RV financing, warranties, and insurance. With long term RV financing, our vehicles have a monthly payment similar to a new SUV. ModVans has delivered over 100 vehicles to customers all over the US.

 

 

2.SUMMARY SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash in banks. The Company’s cash is deposited in demand accounts at financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment on receipt of invoice or within fifteen days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. During the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not record bad debt expense.

For Years Ended December 31, 2022 AND December 31, 2021

 

 

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of parts, materials and vehicles in process but not yet delivered to the customer. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market, using a standard costing and specific identification method. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, inventory was $479,796 and $333,958, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are charged to earnings as incurred and additions and major improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings.

 

Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset type or term of the operating lease using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated service lives for property and equipment is as follows:

 

Category Useful Life
Laguna CNC Router 7 years
Tools and equipment 3 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Vehicle 5 years
Demon vans 7 years

Leasehold improvements

Shorter of useful life or lease term

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We look for indicators of a trigger event for asset impairment and pay special attention to any adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of which there are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a location level. Assets are reviewed using factors including, but not limited to, our future operating plans and projected cash flows. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly related to the assets, compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets does not exceed the carrying value of the assets, full or partial impairment may exist. If the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using an income approach, which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a C corporation for income tax purposes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential income tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense. The Company records tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return based upon the amount that is more likely than not to be realized or paid, including in connection with the resolution of any related appeals or other legal processes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes liabilities for certain unrecognized tax benefits based on the amounts that are more likely than not to be settled with the relevant taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of recreational vehicle models when the vehicle has been delivered to the customer and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company records deferred revenue for any customer deposits received but the model has not yet been delivered. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had deferred revenue of $1,802,980 and $543,350, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value are based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used in valuation techniques. These levels, in order of highest to lowest priority, are described below:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2—Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

Leases

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. The Company adopted the new guidance using a modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company elected to apply the new accounting standard only to the most recent period presented, recognizing the cumulative effect of the accounting change, if any, as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. Accordingly, prior periods have not been recast to reflect the new accounting standard. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of ASC 842 had no material impact on accumulated deficit.

For Years Ended December 31, 2022 AND December 31, 2021

 

 

 

The Company elected transitional practical expedients for existing leases which eliminated the requirements to reassess existing lease classification, initial direct costs, and whether contracts contain leases. Also, the Company elected to present the payments associated with short-term leases as an expense in statements of operations. Short- term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Refer to Note 9 for the Company’s right of use asset and liability.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheets date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 24, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-02, Leases, that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2019-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2019, FASB amended ASU No. 2019-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2019, amendments to existing accounting guidance were issued through Accounting Standards Update 2019-15 to clarify the accounting for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments specify that existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software also applies to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

7.INCOME TAXES

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

 

As of Year Ended December 31,  2022   2021 
Net Operating Loss  $(438,118)  $521,207 
Valuation Allowance   438,118    (521,207)
           
Net Provision for income tax  $   $ 

 

As of Year Ended December 31,  2022   2021 
Net Operating Loss  $(1,449,637)  $1,011,518 
Valuation Allowance   1,449,637    (1,011,518)
           
Total Deferred Tax Asset  $   $ 

 

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the federal and state net deferred tax assets, and, as a result, full valuation allowance has been set against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022. The amount of the deferred tax asset to be realized could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced or increased.

For Years Ended December 31, 2022 AND December 31, 2021

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2022 the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $4,858,000. Utilization of some of the federal and state NOL carryforwards to reduce future income taxes will depend on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforwards. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the NOLs and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the IRS and state tax authorities. NOLs and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three- year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state provisions. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. The Company has not performed a comprehensive Section 382 study to determine any potential loss limitation with regard to the NOL carryforwards and tax credits.

 

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on a tax return upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is subject to examination for its US federal and California jurisdictions for each year in which a tax return was filed.

 

 

8.RELATED PARTY

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has loans from its shareholders in the total amount of $80,000. During 2019, the Company made repayments of $38,387 and one noteholder converted $7,497 of debt for shares of Common Stock. During 2020, a shareholder made additional loans of $49,000 and a noteholder converted $24,996 of debt for shares of Common Stock. During 2022 and 2021, a shareholder made additional advances totaling $43,000 and $63,765, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the outstanding balance of the shareholders loans are $164,887 and $121,887, respectively. The loans do not accrue any interest.

 

During the year 2022, the Company entered into a sales-leaseback transaction with the CEO for a demo van. As a result, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and liability pertaining to the related party transaction. See Note 9.

11.GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred losses from operations and has accumulated deficit of $4,902,090 as of December 31, 2022 and cash of $25,472.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the financial statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results.

Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to generate revenues and raise capital as needed to satisfy its capital needs. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations through debt and/or equity financing.

 

There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development, which could harm its business, financial condition, and operating results. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

2.1.           Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors shall be held at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. In lieu of holding a meeting of stockholders (whether annual or for any other purpose) at a designated place, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall be held solely by means of remote communication, subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt.

 

2.2.           Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which meeting the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

 

2.3.           Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, may be called at any time by order of the Board of Directors and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary at the request in writing of the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of the voting power represented by all the shares issued, outstanding, and entitled to be voted at the proposed special meeting, unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides for a different percentage, in which event such provision of the Certificate of Incorporation shall govern. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed special meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

 

2.4.           Written Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the annual meeting, stating the place (if any), date, and hour of the meeting, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Written notice of a special meeting, stating the place (if any), date, and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.

 

2.5.           Electronic Notice of Meetings. Any notice of a meeting to stockholders given by the Corporation shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission to which the stockholder to whom or which the notice is given has consented. Notice given by a form of electronic transmission to which the stockholder has consented shall be deemed given (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of that specific posting, upon the later of that posting and the giving of that separate notice; and (iv) if by another form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

2.6.           Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of stock having a majority of the voting power of the stock entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the time and place of the adjourned meeting) until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

2.7.            Organization. At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board or the President, determined as provided in Article VII of these Bylaws, or if those officers shall be absent therefrom, another officer of the Corporation chosen as chairman present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, or if all the officers of the Corporation shall be absent therefrom, a stockholder holding of record shares of stock of the Corporation so chosen, shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside thereat. The Secretary, or if he shall be absent from such meeting or shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7 to act as chairman of such meeting, the person (who shall be an Assistant Secretary, if an Assistant Secretary shall be present thereat) whom the chairman of such meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

 

2.8.         Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock of the Corporation held by him and registered in his name on the books of the Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.5 of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held directly or indirectly by the Corporation, shall not be entitled to vote. Any vote by stock of the Corporation may be given at any meeting of the stockholders by the stockholder entitled thereto, in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation or to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and unless otherwise made irrevocable by law. At all meetings of the stockholders, all matters, except where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, a quorum being present. Unless demanded by a stockholder of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders and entitled to vote thereat, or so directed by the chairman of the meeting, the vote thereat on any question other than the election or removal of directors need not be by written ballot. Upon a demand of any such stockholder for a vote by written ballot on any question or at the direction of such chairman that a vote by written ballot be taken on any question, such vote shall be taken by written ballot. On a vote by written ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted. A written ballot shall include, if authorized by the Board of Directors, a ballot submitted by electronic transmission if any such electronic transmission either sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder.

2.9.           Participation and Voting by Remote Communication.

2.10.        List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of its stock ledger, either directly or through another officer of the Corporation designated by him or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days before said meeting, (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the stockholders' meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of said meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of record who shall be present thereat. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder of record during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the stockholders' meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, such list, or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.11.        Inspectors of Votes. At each meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of such meeting may appoint two Inspectors of Votes to act thereat, unless the Board of Directors shall have theretofore made such appointments. Each Inspector of Votes so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of an Inspector of Votes at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such Inspectors of Votes, if any, shall take charge of the ballots, if any, at such meeting and, after the balloting thereat on any question, shall count the ballots cast thereon and shall make a report in writing to the secretary of such meeting of the results thereof. An Inspector of Votes need not be a stockholder of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an Inspector of Votes on any question other than a vote for or against his election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he may be directly interested.

 

2.12.        Actions Without a Meeting. Except as prohibited or restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereat were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed, and dated for the purposes of these Bylaws, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission. Any consent by means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been signed on the date on which it was transmitted. In the event that the Board shall have instructed the officers of the Corporation to solicit the vote or written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation, an electronic transmission of a stockholder's written consent given pursuant to such solicitation may be delivered to the Secretary or the President of the Corporation or to a person designed by the Secretary of the President. The Secretary of the President of the Corporation or a designee of the Secretary of the President shall cause any such written consent by electronic transmission to be reproduced in paper form and inserted into the corporate records.

Any such notice to be given by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited, postage prepaid, in the United States mail.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1.            Actions Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (collectively in this Article VIII, a "Proceeding") other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including an employee benefit plan or trust (each such person in this Article VIII, a "Corporate Functionary"), against expenses (including attorneys' fees),judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such Proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

8.2.           Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or involved in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Corporate Functionary against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

8.3.           Determination of Right to Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Corporate Functionary is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.

 

8.4.           Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VIII, to the extent that a Corporate Functionary has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 (including the dismissal of a Proceeding without prejudice or the settlement of a Proceeding without admission of liability), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

8.5.           Prepaid Expenses. Expenses incurred by a Corporate Functionary in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Corporate Functionary to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.

 

8.6.           Right to Indemnification upon Application: Procedure upon Application. Any indemnification of a Corporate Functionary under Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Section 8.4, or any advance under Section 8.5, shall be made promptly upon, and in any event within 60 days after, the written request of the Corporate Functionary, unless with respect to applications under Section 8.2, Section 8.3, or Section 8.5, a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, that such Corporate Functionary acted in a manner set forth in such Sections as to justify the Corporation in not indemnifying or making an advance of expenses to the Corporate Functionary. If there are no directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, the Board of Directors shall promptly direct that independent legal counsel shall decide whether the Corporate Functionary acted in a manner set forth in such Sections as to justify the Corporation's not indemnifying or making an advance of expenses to the Corporate Functionary. The right to indemnification or advance of expenses granted by this Article VIII shall be enforceable by the Corporate Functionary in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Board of Directors or independent legal counsel denies his claim, in whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made within 60 days. The expenses of the Corporate Functionary incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

8.7.           Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Bylaws, or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such position or office, and shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Corporate Functionary and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or modification of these Bylaws or relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and other applicable law, if any, shall not affect any then-existing rights of a Corporate Functionary to indemnification or advancement of expenses.

 

8.8.           Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Corporate Functionary against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VIII or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

8.9.           Mergers. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving corporation, constituent corporations (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, or agents, so that any person who is or was a director officer, employee, or agent of such constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan or trust) shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

8.10.        Savings Provision. If this Article VIII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Corporate Functionary as to expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VIII that shall not have been invalidated.

9.1.          Stock Certificates: Uncertificated Stock. The shares of the corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as provided under Delaware law, and shall be entered in the books of the corporation and recorded as they are issued. Any duly appointed officer of the corporation is authorized to sign share certificates. Any or all of the signatures on any certificate may be a facsimile or electronic signature. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile or electronic signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

 

9.4.           Special Designation on Certificates and Notices of Issuance. If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock or the notice of issuance to the record owner of uncertificated stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock or the notice of issuance to the record owner of uncertificated stock, or the purchase agreement for such stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

 

9.5.          Lost Certificates. Except as provided in this Section 9.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or notice of uncertificated stock in the place of any certificate previously issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

(a)            not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof,

 

(b)            not more than 10 days after the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, as a record date in connection with obtaining a consent of the stockholders in writing to corporate action without a meeting, or

EXHIBIT 4.1

 

FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INVESTMENT INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THIS INVESTMENT IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR PERSONS WHO CAN BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME AND WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. FURTHERMORE, INVESTORS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT SUCH INVESTMENT IS ILLIQUID AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE ILLIQUID FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. NO PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS FOR THE SECURITIES, AND NO PUBLIC MARKET IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FOLLOWING THIS OFFERING.

 

THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE-SKY LAWS AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE-SKY LAWS. ALTHOUGH AN OFFERING STATEMENT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”), THAT OFFERING STATEMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS OR INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE TO SUBSCRIBER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

 

INVESTORS WHO ARE NOT “ACCREDITED INVESTORS” (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 501 OF REGULATION D PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) ARE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS ON THE AMOUNT THEY MAY INVEST, AS SET OUT IN SECTION 4. THE COMPANY IS RELYING ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH BY EACH SUBSCRIBER IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY SUBSCRIBER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING TO DETERMINE THE APPLICABILITY TO THIS OFFERING OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

THE OFFERING MATERIALS MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION RELATING TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE COMPANY, ITS BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY, AND ITS INDUSTRY. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON THE BELIEFS OF, ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY, AND INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT. WHEN USED IN THE OFFERING MATERIALS, THE WORDS “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “BELIEVE,” “ANTICIPATE,” “INTEND,” “EXPECT” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS REFLECT MANAGEMENT’S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY’S ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE ON WHICH THEY ARE MADE. THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO REVISE OR UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER SUCH DATE OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS.

 

THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE OFFERING THE SECURITIES IN EVERY STATE. THE OFFERING MATERIALS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION IN ANY STATE OR JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE SECURITIES ARE NOT BEING OFFERED.

 

THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER TO MODIFY, AMEND AND/OR WITHDRAW ALL OR A PORTION OF THE OFFERING AND/OR ACCEPT OR REJECT IN WHOLE OR IN PART ANY PROSPECTIVE INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OR TO ALLOT TO ANY PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF SECURITIES SUCH INVESTOR DESIRES TO PURCHASE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED, THE OFFERING MATERIALS SPEAK AS OF THEIR DATE. NEITHER THE DELIVERY NOR THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES SHALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CREATE ANY IMPLICATION THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY SINCE THAT DATE.

While the approximate square footage of the Premises may have been used in the marketing of the Premises for purposes of comparison, the Base Rent stated herein is NOT tied to square footage and is not subject to adjustment should the actual size be determined to be diffe rent. NOTE: l.li!sse e is advised to 11e rify the actua I size prior to executing th is l.li!ase. 2. Condition. Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee broom clean and free of debris on the Commencement Date or the Early Possession Date, whichever first occurs {"Start Date"), and, so long as the required service contracts described in Paragraph 7.l(b} below are obtained by Lessee and in effect within thirty days following the Start Date, warrants that the existing electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems ("HVAC"l, loading doors, sump pumps, if any, and all other such elements in the Premises, other than those constructed by Lessee, shall be in good operating condition on said date, that the structural elements of the roof, bearing walls and foundation of any buildings on the Premises (the "Building") shall be free of material defects, and that the Premises do not contain hazardous levels of any mold or fungi defined as toxic under applicable state or federal law. If a non - compliance with said warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems or elements should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall, as Lessor's sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non - compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify same at Lessor's expense. The warranty periods shal I be as follows: (i} 6 months as to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the Building. If Lessee does not give Lessor the required notice within the appropriate warranty period, correction of any such non - compliance, malfunction or failure shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessor also warrants, that unless otherwise specified in writing, Lessor is unaware of (i) any recorded Notices of Default affecting the Premise; (ii) any delinquent amounts due under any loan secured by the Premises; and {iii) any bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Premises. 3. Compliance. Lessor warrants that to the best of its knowledge the improvements on the Premises comply with the building codes, applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of record, regulations, and ordinances ("Applicable Requirements") that were in effect at the time t,at each improvement, or portion thereof, was constructed. Said warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the Premises, modifications whicr may be required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar laws as a result of Lessee's use {see Paragraph 50), or to any Alterations or Utility Installations (a:s deft ned in Paragraph 7 .3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: Lessee is responsible for determining whether or not the Applicable Requirements, and especially the zoning, are appropriate for Lessee's intended use, and acknowledges that past uses af the Premises may no longer be allowed. If the Premises do not comply with said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non - compliance, rectify the same at Lessor's expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice of a non - compliance with this warranty within 6 months following the Start Date, correction of th at non - comp Ii an ce shall be the o bligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. If the Ap plicable Requirements a re hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Premises and/or Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other phy,;ical modification of the Unit, Premises and/or Building ("Capital Expenditure"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows: (a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c) below, if such Capital Expenditures are required as a result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however, that if sue h Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this lease and the cost thereof exceeds 6 months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in writing, within 10 days after rl!cl!ipt of L!! sl!e's tl!rmination notice that Lessor has elected to pay the difference bl!twe1m th!! actual cost thereof and an amount equal to 6 months' Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a termination date at least 90 days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital Expenditure. (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor shall pay for such Capital Expenditure and Lessee shall only be obligated to pay, each month during the remainder of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, on the date that on which the Base Rent is due, an amount equal to 1/144th of the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the Premises. Lessee shall pay Interest on the balance but may prepay its obligation at any time. If, however, such Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease or if lessor reasonably determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon 90 days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor's termination notice that Lessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and fails to tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with Interest, from Rent until Lessor's share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance Lessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon 30 days written notice to Lessor. (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capita I Expenditures are intended to apply only to non - voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises then, and in that event, Lessee shall either: (i) immediately cease such changed use or intensity of use and/or take such other steps as may be necessary to eliminate the requirement for such Capital Expenditure, or (ii) complete such Capital Expenditure at its own expense. Lessee shall not, however, have any right to terminate this Lease. 4. Acknowledgements. Lessee acknowledges that: (a)it has been given an opportunity to inspect and measure the Premises, (b) it has been advised by Lessor and/or Brokers to satisfy itself with respect to the size and condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their suitability for Lessee's intended use, (c) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the Premises, (d) it is not relying on any representation as to the size of the Premises made by Brokers or Lessor, (e) the square footage of the Premises was not material to Lessee's decision to lease the Premises and pay the Rent stated herein, and (f) neither Lessor, Lessor's agents, nor Brokers have made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Lease. In addition, Lessor acknowledges that: (i) Brokers have made no representations, promises or warranties concerning Lessee's ability to honor the Lease or suitability to occupy the Premises, and (ii) it is Lessor's sole responsibility to investigate the financial capability and/or suitability of all proposed tenants. 5.

Term. 1. Term. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Original Term of this Lease are as specified in Paragraph 1.3. 2. Early Possession. Any provision herein granting Lessee Early Possession of the Premises is subject to and conditioned upon the Premises being available for such possession prior to the Commencement Date. Any grant of Early Possession only conveys a non - exclusive right to occupy the Premises. If Lessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such Early Possession. All other terms of this Lease (including but not limited to the obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall be in effect during such period. Any such Early Possession shall not affect the Expiration Date. 3. Delay In Possession. Lessor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Lessor is unable to deliver possession by such date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such fai I u re affect the va Ii dity of this Le a se or cha nge the Ex piration Date. Lessee sh a 11 not, however, be ob I igated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations unti I Lessoi delivers possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed sha II run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee. If pas.session is not delivered within 60 days after the Commencement Date, as the same may be extended under the terms of any Work Letter executed by Parties, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing within 10 days after the end of such 60 day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the Parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder. If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said 10 day period, Lessee's right to cancel shall terminate. If possession of the Premises is not deIivered within 120 days after the Com meneement Date, th is Lease shall terminate un I ess other agreements a re reached between Lessor and Lessee, in writing. 4. Lessee Compliance. Lessor shall not be required to tender possession of the Premises to Lessee until Lessee complies with its obligation to provide evidence of insurance (Paragraph 8.5). Pending delivery of such evidence, Lessee shall be required to perform all of its obligations under this Lease from and after the Start Date, including the payment of Rent, notwithstanding Lessor's election to withhold possession pending receipt of such evidence of insurance. Further, if Lessee is required to perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent with the Start Date, the Start Date shal I occur but Lessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are satisfied. 4. Rent. 1. Rent Defined. Al I monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent ("Rent"). 2. Payment. Lessee shal I cause payment of Rent to be received by Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction (except as specifically permitted in this Lease), on or before the day on which it is due. All monetary amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. In the event that any invoice prepared by Lessor is inaccurate such inaccuracy shal I not constitute a waiver and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the amount set forth in this Lease. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full calendar month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of said month. Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a peyment which is less than the amount then due shall not be a waiver of Lessor's rights to the balance of such Rent, regardless of Lessor's endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that any check, draft, or other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the sum of $25 in addition to any Late Charge and Lessor, at its option, may require all future Rent be paid by cashier's check. Payments will be applied first to accrued late charges and attorney's fees, second to accrued interest, then to Base Rent, Insurance and Real Property Taxes, and any remaining amount to any other 4 i AnD,iatiDn 1111 , In addition t11 th11 lla,11 Rant, Llli,1111 ,hall pay to 1.a,,11r 11a,h n:111nth an an:111unt ll'IUil to an>/ 11111n11r ' , a&&11,iati11n or ,ond11n:1inh1n:1 f.all i l11><i11d 11r a"11"11d ag;ain&t tl:l11 PPlln:ii,11 , 5aid n:111ni11, ,hall la paid at tho ,an:iotin:io and iR tho nn:111 n:1ann11r a, th11 lla,11 R11n t 5. Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the Security Deposit as security for Lessee's faithful performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Les.see fails to pay Rent, or otherwise Defaults under this Lease, Lessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any amount already due Lessor, for Rents which will be due in the future, and/ or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability, expense, loss or damage which Lessor may suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Lessee shall within 10 days after written request therefor deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. If the Base Rent increases during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the increased Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be amended to accommodate a material change in the business of Lessee or to accommodate a sublessee or assignee, Les.sor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, significantly reduced, Lessee shall deposit such additional monies with Lessor as shall be sufficient to cause the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on such change in financial condition.

Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified. 8.B uemption of Lessor and its Agents from Liability. Notwithstanding the negligence or breach of this Lease by Lessor or its agents, neither Lessor nor its agents shal I be liable under any circumstances for: (i) injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Les.see, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, indoor air quality, the presence of mold or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, (ii) any damages arising from any act or neglect of ;any other tenant of Lessor or from the feilure of Lessor or its agents to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the Project, or (iii) injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. Instead, it is intended that Lessee's sole recourse in the event of such damages or injury be to file a claim on the insura nee policy(ies) that Lessee is required to maintain pursuant to the provisions of paragraph B. 8.9 Failure to Provide Insurance. Lessee acknowledges that any failure on its part to obtain or maintain the insurance required herein wil I expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or portion thereof that Lessee do es not maintain the required ins ura nee and/or does not provide Lessor with the required binders or certificates evidencing the existence of the required insurance, the Base Rent shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then eKisting Base Rent or $100, whichever is greater. The parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee's failure to maintain the required insurance. Such increase in Base Rent shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Defa uIt or Breach with respect to the faiIu re to mainta in such insurance, prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, nor relieve Lessee of its obligation to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease. 9. Damage or Destruction. 1. Definitions. (a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in 6 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction . Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total . (b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in 6 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction . Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total . (c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in P ; aragraph 8 . 3 (a ), irrespective of any deductible amounts or cove rage Iimits invoIved . (d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the improve ments owned by Lessor at the ti me of the occurrence to their condition existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and upgrading required by the operation of Applicable Requirements, and without deduction for depreciation. (e) "Hazardous Substa nee Condition" s ha 11 mean the occurrence or discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contam ination by, a Hazardous Su bsta nee, in, on, or under the Premises which requires restoration. 1. Partial Damage - Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an Insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shal I, at Lessor's expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect: provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor's election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $10,000 or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds (eJi:Cept as to the deductible which is Lessee's responsibility) as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and ava iIable, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insura nee proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within 10 days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said 10 day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in ful I force and effect. If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within 10 days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shal I remain in full force Gf .'" - - ( ;; ) ha, e ,h;, W """';"am 30 a_,. <h ,.....

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease shall terminate 60 days following such Destruction, If the damage or destruction was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6. 9.S Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last 6 months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this Lease effective 60 days following the date of occurrence of such damage by giving a written termination notice to Lessee within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option a!ld (b) providing Lessor with any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or before the earlier of{i) the date which is 10 days after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or adequate assura nee thereof} to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, at Lessor's commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option and provide such funds or assura nee during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the termination notice and Lessee's option shall be exti nguished. 9.6 Abatli!ment af Rent; Lessee's Remedies. (a) Abatement. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no I iability for any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein. (b} Rli!medies. If Lessor is obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any ti me prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than 60 days following the giving of such notice.

As used herein, the term "Rli!al Property Taxes" shall include any form of assessment; real estate, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, or rental levy or tax {other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Premises or the Project, Lessor's right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor's business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where the funds are generated with reference to the Building address. Real Property Taxes shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein: (i) imposed by reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Premises, and (ii) levied or assessed on machinery or equipment provided by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to this Lease. 2. Payment of Taxes. In addition to Base Rent, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to the Real Property Tax installment due at least 20 days prior to the applicable delinquency date. If any such installment shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee's share of such installment shall be prorated. In the event Lessee incurs a late charge on any Rent payment, Lessor may estimate the current Real Property Taxes, and require that such taxes be paid in advance to Lessor by Lessee monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Rent. Such monthly payments shall be an amount equal to the amount of the estimated installment of taxes divided by the number of months remaining before the month in which said installment becomes delinquent. When the actual amount of the applicable tax bill is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted as required to provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by Lessor is insufficient to pay such Real Property Taxes when due, Lessee shal I pay Lessor, upon demand, such additional sum as is necessary. Adva nee payments may be intermingled with other moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a Breach by Lessee in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, then any such advance payments may be treated by Lessor as an additional Security Deposit. 3. Joint Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed, l.l!ssee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax pa reel assessed, such proportion to be conclusively determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be reasonably available. 4. Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shal I cause its Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within 10 day., after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property. 11. Utilities and Services. 11.1 Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered or billed to Lessee, Lessee shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be determined by Lessor, of all charges ri. C,..,.d Q : • f u ""l'od m b;lled.

(b) Unless Les.see is a corporation and its stock is publicly traded on a national stock exchange, a change in the control of Lessee shal I constitute an assignment requiring consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in control for this purpose. (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buyout or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than 25% of such Net Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the ti me of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. "Net Worth of Lessee" shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles. (d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at lessor's option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.l(d), or a non - curable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a non - curable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon 30 days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to 110% of the Base Rent then in effect. Fu rt her, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, {i) the purchase price of any option to purchase the Premises held by Lessee shal I be subject to similar adjustment to 110% of the price previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non - fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to 110% of the scheduled adjusted rent. (e) Lessee's remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be Ii mited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief. (f) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is in Default at the ti me consent is requested. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a de minimis portion of the Premises, i.e. 20 square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a vending machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting. 2. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting. (a) Regardless of lessor's consent, no assignment or subletting shall : (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, {ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee. (b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's obiigations from any person other than lessee pending a pprova I or disap provaI of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of lessor's right to exercise its remedie s for Lessee's Defau It or Breach. (c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or sub I etting shall not constitute a consent to any subseq uent assignment or su bl etti ng. (d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any G uara ntors or anyone else respon sible for the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsib I e therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor. (e) Each request for consent to an as.sijlnment or sublettinll shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not Ii mited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of $SOO as consideration for Lessor's considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to provide lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested. (See also Paragraph 36) (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment, entering into such sublease, or entering into possession of the Premises or any portion thereof, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has speciftcally consented to in writing. (g) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to the assignee or sublessee any Option granted to the original Lessee by this Lease unless such transfer is specifically consented to by Lessor in writing. (See Paragraph 39.2) 2. Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in al I subleases under this lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein: (a) lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease: provided, however, that unti I a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations, lessee may collect said Rent. In the event that the amount collected by Lessor exceeds Lessee's then outsta nding obiigations any such excess sha II be refunded to Lessee. Lessor sha II not, by reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Brea ch exists, notwit hstanding any dai m from Lessee to the contrary. (b) In the event of a Breach by lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the su blessor under such sublease from the ti me of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor.

THE ACCEPTANCE BY LESSOR OFA PARTIAL PAYMENT OF RENT OR SECURITY DEPOSIT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF ANY OF LESSOR'S RIGHTS, INCLUDING LESSOR'S RIGHT TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES. (c) The failure of Lessee to allow Lessor and/or its agents access to the Premises or the commission of waste, act or acts constituting public or private nuisance, and/or an illegal activity on the Premises by Lessee, where such actions continue for a period of3 business days following written notice to Lessee. In the event that Lessee commits waste, a nuisance or an illegal activity a second ti me then, the Lessor may elect to treat such conduct as a non - curable Breach rather than a Default. (d) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel Certificate or financial statements, (v) a requested subordination, (vi) evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 42, (viii) material safety data sheets {MSDS), or (ixl any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of 10 days following written notice to Lessee.

(f) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. † 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); {iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located atthe Premises or of Lessee's interest in this lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 day.,: or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days: provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. (g) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false.

Remedies. If lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within 10 day., after written notice {or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach: (a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this l..l!ase sha II terminate and lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the ti me of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by lessee's Breach of this lease shal I not waive Lessor's right to recover any damages to which Lessor is otherwise entit I ed. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisionaI remedy of unlawfuI detainer, Lessor sha 11 have the rig ht to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurre ntly, and the fa ii ure of Lessee to cure the DefauIt within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlaw fuI detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute. (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shal I not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession. (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this l.l!ase and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve l.l!ssee from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises. 13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, the cost of tenant improvements for Lessee paid for or performed by Lessor; or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus; inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which DS + -

 
 

DocuSign Envelope ID: 32E8626A - A162 - 4BBF - 92C0 - 95B1270CF9AD concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions," shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of a.II of the terms, covenants and rondi tions of this Lease. Upon Brea.ch of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or pa.id by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Brea.ch by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance. 13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact a.mount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and a.ccountin charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Acrordi ngly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within 5 days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a one - time late charge equal to 10% of ea.ch such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The Parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acee pta.nee of such late charge by lessor shalI in no event constitute a wa. iver of Lessee's Defa uIt or Brea.ch with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for 3 consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly in advance. 13.S Interest. Any moneta.ry pa.yme nt due Lessor hereunder, other than Iate charges, not received by Lessor, when due s hal I bear inte rest from the 31st day after it was due. The interest ("Interest") charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4. 13. 6 Brea ch by Lessor. (a) Notice af Breach. Lessor sha II not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by l..i!ssor. For purposes of this Para.graph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than 30 days after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have been furnished to Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, th at if the nature of Lessor's o bliga.tion is such th at more than 30 days a re reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor sha 11 not be in breach if performance is commenced within such 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. (b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf af Lessor. In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice, or if having com menced said cu re they do not di Iigently pursue it to compIe tion, then Lessee ma.y e Iect to cu re said breach at Lessee's expense and offset from Rent the actual and reasonable cost to perform such cure, provided however, that such offset shall not exceed an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent or the Security Deposit, reserving Lessee's right to seek reimbursement from Lessor for any such expense in excess of such offset. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and sup ply said documentation to Lessor. 14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof a re ta ken under the power of emi nent domain or so Id under the threat of the exercise of sa.id power (collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the Building, or more than 25% of that portion of the Premises not occupied by any building, is ta.ken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within 10 days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such ta.king (or in the absence of such notice, within 10 days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this lease shall remain in ful I force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises ca.used by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of lessor, whether such award shal I be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the pa.rt ta.ken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation pa.id by the condemnor for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwi II and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility Installations ma.de to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not termi na.ted by reason of the Condemnation, lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation. 15. Brokerage Fees. 1S.1 Additional Commission. In addition to the payments owed pursuant to Paragraph 1.9 above, Lessor agrees that: {a) if Lessee exercises any Option, (b) if Lessee or anyone affiliated with Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises owned by Lessor and located within the same Project, if any, within which the Premises is located, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises, with the consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then, Lessor shall pay Brokers a fee in accordance with the fee schedule of the Brokers in effect at the time the Lease was executed. The provisions of this paragraph a.re intended to supersede the provisions of any earlier agreement to the contrary. 1S.2 Assumption of Obligations. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's interest in this Lease shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation hereunder. Brokers shall be third party beneficiaries of the provisions of Para.graphs 1.9, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to Brokers any a.mounts due as and for brokerage fees pertaining to this Lease when due, then such a.mounts shall accrue Interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any a.mounts to Lessee's Broker when due, Lessee's Broker may send written notice to Lessor and Lessee of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such amounts within 10 days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessee's Broker shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or between Lessor and Lessor's Broker for the Iimited purpose of rollec ting any brokera.ge fee owed. 1S.3 Representations and lndem niti es of Brok!! r Relationships. Lessee and Lessor each represent and warrant to the other that it has had no dea.Iings with any person, firm, broker, agent or finder (other than the Brokers and Agents, if any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named Brokers and Agents is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in connection herewith. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harm less from and against liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indem nifyi ng Party, including any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto. 16. Estoppel Certificates. (a) Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within 10 days after written notice from the other Party {the "Requesting Party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form similar to the then most current "Estoppel Certificate" form published by AIR CRE, plus such additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party. (b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within such 10 day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting Party, (ii) there are no [ © 2019 Al R CRE.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 32E8626A - A162 - 4BBF - 92C0 - 95B1270CF9AD Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate. In addition, Lessee acknowledges that any ra ilure on its part to provide such an Estoppel Certificate will expose Lessor to risks and potentially cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, should the Lessee rail to execute and/or deliver a requested Estoppel Certificate in a timely rashion the monthly Base Rent shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, by an amount equal to 10% of the then existing Base Rent or $100, whichever is greater for remainder of the Lease. The Parties agree that such increase in Base Rent represents fair and reasonable compensation for the additional risk/costs that Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee's failure to provide the Estoppel Certificate. Such increase in Base Rent shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to the failure to provide the Estoppel Certificate nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors shall within 10 days after written notice from Lessor deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's financial statements for the past 3 years. All such financial statements shal I be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confide nee and sha 11 be used only for the purposes herein set forth. 17. Definition oflli!ssor. The term "Lli!sMJr" as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee {in cash or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Dep osit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the o bligation s and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shaII be binding only upon the Lessor as herein above defined. 1B. Sewrability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. 19. Days. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word "days" as used in this Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days. 20. Limitation on Liability. The obligations of Lessor under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of Lessor, or its partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders, and l.l!ssee shall look to the Premises, and to no other assets of Lessor, for the satisfaction of any liability of Lessor with respect to this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against Lessor's partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction. 21. Ti me of Essenee. Time is of the e ssence with respect to the performance of aII obligations to be performed or observed by the Pa rties under this Lease. 22. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Lease contains all agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contem pora neous agreement or unde rstanding sh a 11 be effective. Lessor and Lessee ea ch represents and warrants to the Brokers th at it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the use, nature, qua Iity and cha racter of the Premises. Brokers have no responsi bility with respect thereto or with respect to any de fau It or b·ea ch hereof by either Party. 23. Notices. 1. Nirtice Rli!quini!ments. All notices required or permitted by this Lease or applicable law shall be in writing and ma • be delivered in person {by hand or by courier) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or by email, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for delivery or mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a different address for notice, except that upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute Lessee's address for notice. A copy of all notices to Lessor shal I be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate in writing. 2. Dab! of Notice. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given 72 hours a er thesame is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.

Waivers. (a) No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an esto ppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such consent. (b) The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the ti me of deposit of such payment. (c) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE SHALL GOVERN WITH REGARD TO ALL MATTERS RELATED THERETO AND HER EBY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH STATUTE IS INCONSISTENT WITH TH IS LEASE. 25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estab! Agency Relationship. (a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows: {i) Lessor's Agent . A Lessor's agent under a listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor's agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor : A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessor. To the lessee and the Lessor: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and m _, m efthe, Imm"'" © 2019 Al R CRE.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 32E8626A - A162 - 4BBF - 92C0 - 95B1270CF9AD affirmative duties set forth above. lii) Lessee's Agent . An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the lessee and the Lessor: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either I'll rty any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. (iii) Agent Representing Bath Lessor and Lessee . A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee: (a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee . (b) Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) . In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not, without the express permission of the respective I'll rty ; disclose to the other Party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either Lessee's or Lessor's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact rent, including Lessor's willingness to accept a rent less than the listing rent or Lessee's willingness to pay rent greater than the rent offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not reIieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibiIity to protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee shouId carefully read aII agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. Both Lessor and Lessee should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change. (b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The I'll rties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the Start Date and that the liability (including court costs and attorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker. (c) Lessor and Lessee agree to identify to Brokers as "Confidential" any communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential. 26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. At or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease Lessee shall deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Lessor. For purposes of this provision and Paragraph 13.l(a), exclusive possession shal I mean that Lessee shall have vacated the Premises, removed all of its personal property therefrom and that the Premises have been returned in the condition specified in this Lease. In the event that Lessee does not deliver exclusive possession to Lessor as specified above, then Lessor's damages during any holdover period shall be computed at the amount of the Rent (as defined in I'll ragraph 4.1) due during the last full month before the expiration or termination of this Lease (disregarding any temporary abatement of Rent that may have been in effect), but with Base Rent being 150% of the Base Rent payable during such last full month. Nothing contained herein shal I be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee. 27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. 28. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular sha II include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it. 29. Binding Effect ; Choice of Law . This Lease shall be binding upon the Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located . Any litigation between the l'i!rties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are located . Signatures to this Lease accomplished by means of electronic signature or similar technology shall be legal and binding . 30. Subordination ; Attornment ; Non - Disturbance . 1. Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. l..l!ssee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as "l.l!nder") shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwit hstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recorda tion thereof. 2. Altom ment. In the event that Lessor transfers tit Ie to the Premises, or the Premises are acq uired by an0ther upon the foreclosure or termination of a Security Device to which th is Lease is subordinated (i) Lessee s ha 11, subject to the non - disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, attorn to such new owner, and upon request, enter into a new lease, containing a 11 of the terms and provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the term hereof, or, at the election of the new owner, this Lease will automatically become a new lease between Lessee and such new owner, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations hereunder and such new owner shall assume all of Lessor's obligations, except that such new owner shall not: (a) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent, or (d) be liable for the return of any security deposit paid to any prior lessor which was not paid or credited to such new owner. 3. Non - Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this I.ease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non - disturbance agreement (a "Non - Disturbance Agreement") from the Lender which Non - Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee's possession ofthe Premises, and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within 60 days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall, if requested by Lessee, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non - Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre - existing Security Device which is secured by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non - Disturbance Agreement within said 60 days, then Lessee may, at Lessee's option, directly contact Lender and attempt © 2019 Al R CRE.

The agreements conrained in this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without the execution of any further documents ; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any subordination, attornment and/or Non - Disturbance Agreement provided for herein . 31. Attorneys' Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The term, "Prevailing Party" shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by com promise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shal be entitled to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence for such services and consultation). 32. Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at an)' time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times after reasonable prior notice for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable and the erecting, Jsing and maintaining of utilities, services, pipes and conduits through the Premises and/or other premises as long as there is no materia Iadverse effect on Lessee's use of the Premises. All such activi ties sha 11 be with out abatement of rent or Iia bility to Lessee. 33. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any srandard of reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction. 34. Signs. Lessor may place on the Premises ordinary "For Sale" signs at any time and ordinary "For Lease" signs during the last 6 months of the term hereof. Except for ordinary "for sublease" signs, Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. All signs must com ply with a II Applicable Requirements. 35. Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within 10 days following any such event to elect to the contrary b written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest. 36. Consents. All requests for consent shall be in writing. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expl'"nses (including but not Iimited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants' fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by LE - ssee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents to an assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In the event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detai I within 10 business days following such request. 37.

OocuSign Envelope ID: 32EB626A - A162 - 4BBF - 92C0 - 95B1270CF9AD AR DISCLOSURE REGARDING REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP (As required by the Civil Code) When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to have with the agent in the transaction. SELLER'S AGENT A Seller's agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. To the Buyer and the Seller: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above. BUYER'S AGENT A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer ' s consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either i n full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations: To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer. To the Buyer and the Seller: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent ' s duties . (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability ofthe property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not i n volve the affirmative duties set forth above. AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SEUER AND BUYER A real estate agent, either acting direct l y or through one or more salesperson and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer: (a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty i n the dealings with either the Selleror the Buyer. (b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections. In representing both Seller and Buyer , a dual ai;ent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer ' s willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered. SELLER ANO BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own Interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation. Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change. Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of Sections 2079 . 13 to 2079.24, inclus ive , of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully.

Camper vans of the future: $12M+ revenue with 130+ vehicles delivered Creating Adventures Every Day We love the outdoors. We are always thinking about the next campground, the next trail, the next summit, the next beautiful mountain lake. We're building camper vans with modern, high - tech designs to help America get outdoors to have fun and experience the beauty of nature. Unlike bulky RVs, our vans are a pleasure to drive, make adventuring easy, and are ideal for getting off the grid. We have found thousands of others who feel the same way and are eager to become ModVans owners and investors. We need your help to grow faster and meet this unslakable demand!

 
 

THE SUPERHERO OF CAMPER VANS! Owning a ModVans multipurpose vehicle is a smart alternative to buying three separate vehicles for family, work, and play. ModVans is the superhero of camper vans, hauling kids to and from soccer practice by day and road - tripping by night. It’s a cargo van for work during the week and living space for play on weekends; it’s an adventure van that doubles as a daily driver. Off the Grid Capabilities ModVans innovations let you go totally off - grid . Our massive, 26 kwh battery gives you weeks of battery power and can run A/Cs and heaters for multiple days . 300 - 510 watts of solar power extend battery runtimes . Options like All Wheel Drive, built - in dual compressors, off - road tires and off - road lights let you get further from civilization and closer to nature . POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT US Based Workforce

 
 

Good jobs at ModVans are available to people from all walks of life. ModVans has a commitment to good benefits and good pay for all its employees. All our employees are US - based and we have few or no part - time employees or contractors. All full - time employees get full benefits that include: Paid health care (we pay 100% of a silver policy) Paid time off (12 days/year + 7 holidays + 5 days holiday “bonus”) Lowest starting pay is $18/hr All employees can quickly earn raises We have relocated our manufacturing operations to a new facility in Camarillo. One of the key reasons for the move was to enhance the quality of life for our employees. Many of our team members expressed a desire to own their own homes, and we believe that Camarillo provides more affordable housing options compared to our previous locations. In addition, by relocating, we are able to offer competitive wages that allow us to remain competitive in the market. Saving the Planet Our current vehicles have internal combustion engines (ICE) and emit greenhouse gases. At this time, ICE chassis are the only ones available that meet reasonable consumer price and range requirements. The typical alternatives, Class C RVs, larger Class B RVs and towing a trailer behind a large ICE - powered SUV or truck are all much worse for the environment. They typically require a separate dedicated camping vehicle, consume much more fuel, and emit a lot more greenhouse gases. We understand and agree that steady progress is not enough. Our upcoming E - CV1 model will be all electric. We intend to be ready for production as soon as the underlying chassis are, and, based on the progress of EV chassis manufacturers, we are confident this will happen in the very near future. MODVANS NEEDS YOU! Market response has been so phenomenal that production cannot meet demand. We want to meet that demand head - on! Rather than make people wait as we bootstrap our way to expansion, we launched this crowdfunding campaign so we can scale production and R&D more rapidly. So far, we've raise over $4m from 3,900 investors. We’ve used the funding to scale production from 2 vehicles/month to 6 vehicles/month, move to a new 22,500 sq. ft. shop and engage in some massive R&D projects: 6 vehicle models in production with customer deliveries /X Series in production (CV1/X delivered with CV1/MX and MH1/X on the way) with extreme capacity battery and high - tech app - based control systems Initial design and engineering for our E - CV1 fully electric model In 2023, our goal is to raise millions more to build a larger factory to accommodate increased production and to complete R&D on our fully electric E - CV1 model!

RETURN ON INVESTMENT PLANS Investors in this campaign are purchasing ModVans’ stock. For stockholders to see a significant return, ModVans must increase the value of investors’ stock and achieve an exit . ModVans is a private company, so the value of its stock is difficult to ascertain. However, we have publicly sold stock to investors and those sales can be used as data points to evaluate our performance:

 
 

$65/share $150M valuation $31/share $75M valuation $11/share $25.3M valuation $5.95/share $12.5M valuation Because ModVans is a private company, its stock is not easy to trade. Investors require an “exit” to get a return on their investment. ModVans envisions these possible exit events: ModVans grows the company until an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and stock exchange listing is the best exit option for our investors. An entity such as a large company or investment fund purchases ModVans at a price that meets the requirements of the majority of its stockholders. ModVans lists its stock for sale with an exchange or one of the upcoming online secondary markets. ModVans believes there is a very large market opportunity and we have the talent and timing to take advantage of it. Our plan is to grow the company and its value until IPO. Invest in ModVans Today! ModVans plans to build a factory capable of producing 100 vehicles/month. The econom y is likely to recover within the next year , so we are ready to start building now! If you’ve been through recessions before, you know that it is impossible to predict when stocks will recover, but what you can be almost sure of is that the economy will recover and the US will be bigger and better than before!
