Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

  · annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),
  · semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and
  · current reports for certain material events.

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

 

4

 

 

  · will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
  · will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
  · will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
  · will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
  · may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and
  · will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

We are a dental innovation company with a team of engineering, dental, manufacturing, regulatory, design and business experts dedicated to improving lives through easy and effective oral care products. To address global oral disease, considering the fact that 9 out of 10 people don' t brush correctly, we are developing our flagship product, the Encompass toothbrush, a revolutionary half-mouth toothbrush. The Encompass toothbrush is being designed to prevent user error while providing a thorough cleaning in just 20 seconds. Leading our engineering efforts is our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, the former Director of Engineering for Optiva (the maker of Sonicare), Ultreo, Inc. (the maker of the Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush) and Pacific Bioscience Laboratories (maker of the Clarisonic toothbrush). We have established relationships with engineering suppliers and manufacturers with solid experience in supplying and manufacturing leading oral care products. We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design with a provisional worldwide patent application pending, as well as other patentable intellectual property relating to our current and future products.

 

We are developing a half-mouth J-shaped electric toothbrush with flex fingers to adjust to the teeth and full coverage bristles for proper bristle contact with each tooth. We developed and tested various working proof-of-concept prototypes validating our pump/bladder system, adjustability, size and fit. Our pump and bladder design in the brush head provides for 100 brush stokes per second.

 

The next steps to our development of Encompass is to finalize the bristle technology, configuration and material. Thereafter we intend to distribute our Encompass toothbrushes, beginning with our pre-orders through Indiegogo.com. Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S.

 

We plan to market and advertise Encompass through our website, social media, product placement (in movies, etc.), brochures to dental professionals, trade shows, infomercials, and commercials. Youth friendly tie-ins/licensing deals will be pursued for the “kids” brush. We will also launch a philanthropic “buy one, give one” campaign when on the market.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Commission requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks Related to our Business and Operating Environment

 

We are an early stage company and have not yet recognized revenue or profits.

 

We were formed on March 22, 2007 but were dormant from 2012 until 2019. Since that time, we have focused on developing our technology and a prototype electric toothbrush, relying on securing loans, funding from founders and other investors and proceeds from product pre-sales. We have incurred only net losses to date. Further, we have never turned a profit and there is no assurance that we will ever be profitable. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our our performance or future prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock.

 

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

 

To be successful, we require capable people to run our day to day operations and develop our products. We are highly reliant on a small management team, and in particular our founders, Ryan Schwartz and Cary Schwartz, and our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, to drive forward the development and commercialization of our products. We do not have any “key person” insurance and the loss of any of our key personnel may have a material adverse affect on our business and ability to grow and achieve profitability. Furthermore, as we grow, we will need to attract and hire additional employees in sales, marketing, design, development, operations, finance, legal, human resources and other areas. Depending on the economic environment and our performance, we may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions when we need them. We may also make hiring mistakes, which can be costly in terms of resources spent in recruiting, hiring and investing in the incorrect individual and in the time delay in locating the right employee fit. If we are unable to attract, hire and retain the right talent or make too many hiring mistakes, it is likely our business will suffer from not having the right employees in the right positions at the right time. This would likely adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

We face significant market competition.

 

We will compete with larger, established companies who currently have products on the market and/or various respective product development programs. They may have much better financial means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. They may succeed in developing and marketing competing equivalent products earlier than us, or superior products than those developed by us. Competitors may render our technology or products obsolete or products developed by us may not be preferred to any existing or newly developed technologies. Furthermore, this level of competition may intensify in the future.

 

We are reliant on one main type of product offering.

 

All of our anticipated product offerings are centered around oral care products. Our revenues and ability to operate profitably therefore will be dependent upon the market for oral care products. To the extent that the market for oral care products such as ours declines, whether through the introduction of new technology, consumer pricing pressure or otherwise, we may not be able to sell our products in sufficient quantity or at price points that cover our expenses. If this were to occur, we may not be able to operate profitably and you could lose your investment.

 

9

 

 

Some of our products are still in prototype phase and might never be operational products.

 

Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties We are currently in the development stage and, although we have developed a number of proof-of-concept prototypes, we have not yet finalized a working prototype for manufacturing. Delays or cost overruns in the development of our Encompass toothbrush and failure of the product to meet our performance estimates may be caused by, among other things, unanticipated technological hurdles, difficulties in manufacturing, changes to design and regulatory hurdles. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our operating performance and results of operations.

 

It is possible that we may never create an operational product or that the product may never be manufactured or sold to consumers. It is This could result in our making a determination that our business model is not sustainable and continuing operations are not be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, in which case you could lose your investment.

 

This is a new and unproven product.

 

Our growth expectations are based on an assumption that we will be to successfully launch our product and that it will be able to gain traction in the marketplace at a similar rate to previously launched electric toothbrushes by our competitors. The Encompass toothbrush is a completely new product that we're introducing into a crowded field of electric toothbrushes. Regardless of any current perceptions of the market, it is entirely possible that our product will not gain significant acceptance with any group of customers. In addition, it is entirely possible that no company will be able to create a half-mouth or full -mouth product that generates significant sales, rendering our intellectual property worthless. If the product fails to achieve significant sales and acceptance in the marketplace, this could materially and adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

We will rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business.

 

We will rely on third parties to provide a variety of essential business functions for us, including manufacturing, shipping, retailing, and distribution. It is possible that some of these third parties will fail to perform their services or will perform them in an unacceptable manner. It is possible that we will experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that will materially impact our operations and damage our reputation and brand. We may have little or no recourse to recover damages for these losses. Similarly, a disruption in key or other suppliers' operations could prevent us from being able to ship our product in a timely manner or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our business and damage our reputation and brand.

 

Our future products could have a latent design flaw or manufacturing defect.

 

Although we have done extensive testing on our product and intend to conduct more testing, it is possible that there is a design flaw that will require us to recall all or a significant number of products that we have delivered to customers. Similarly, it is possible that our manufacturer will introduce a defect during the manufacturing process, triggering a recall. A major recall of our products would be expensive and could significantly impact our financial condition and result of operations. We may not have the ongoing resources to cover these losses and our business may not survive.

 

We have existing patents that we might not be able to protect properly.

 

One of the our most valuable assets is our intellectual property. We have one 21 claim utility patent, and own trademarks, copyrights, Internet domain names, and trade secrets. Competitors may misappropriate or violate our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries do not favor the enforcement of patents or other intellectual property rights, which could hinder us from preventing the infringement of our patents or other intellectual property rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in certain foreign countries where the local laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States or may provide, today or in the future, for compulsory licenses. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in the United States or foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could provoke third parties to assert patent infringement or other claims against us. We may not have the resources to adequately enforce our patent rights. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to compete effectively could be harmed.

 

10

 

 

Moreover, in the future we may grant lenders liens on substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property, as collateral. In such instances, if we default on our payment obligations under any future secured loans, such lenders would have the right to foreclose upon and control the disposition of our assets, including our intellectual property assets, to satisfy our payment obligations under such instruments. If such a default were to occur, and our intellectual property assets are sold or licensed, our business could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective.

 

Intellectual property is a complex field of law in which few things are certain. It is possible that competitors will be able to design around our intellectual property, find prior art to invalidate it, or render our patent unenforceable through some other mechanism. If competitors are able to bypass our trademark and copyright protection without obtaining a sublicense, it is likely that the Company's value will be materially and adversely impacted. This could also impair the Company's ability to compete in the marketplace. Moreover, if our trademarks and copyrights are deemed unenforceable, the Company will almost certainly lose any potential revenue it might be able to raise by entering into sublicenses. This would cut off a significant potential revenue stream for the Company.

 

The cost of enforcing our trademarks and copyrights could prevent us from enforcing them.

 

Trademark and copyright litigation has become extremely expensive. Even if we believe that a competitor is infringing on one or more of our trademarks or copyrights, we might choose not to file suit because we lack the cash to successfully prosecute a multi-year litigation with an uncertain outcome; or because we believe that the cost of enforcing our trademark(s) or copyright(s) outweighs the value of winning the suit in light of the risks and consequences of losing it; or for some other reason. Choosing not to enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s), could have adverse consequences for us, including undermining the credibility of our intellectual property, reducing our ability to enter into sublicenses, and weakening our attempts to prevent competitors from entering the market. As a result, if we are unable to enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s) because of the cost of enforcement, you could lose the value of your investment.

 

Our auditor has issued a "going concern" opinion.

 

Our auditor has issued a "going concern" opinion on our financial statements, which means that our auditor is not sure if we will be able to succeed as a business. To date, we have not generated revenues from our principal operations and have sustained losses since inception. Because losses will continue until such time that we can complete a working Encompass toothbrush and begin selling them and have no committed source of financing, we rely on financing to support our operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to fund our operations through the sale of our securities to third parties and related parties or through credit facilities. If we cannot raise enough capital, we may consume all our cash reserved before we can generate revenue. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

If we cannot raise sufficient funds we will not succeed.

 

We are offering shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount of up to $[________] in this offering, and may close on any investments that are made, since there is no minimum offering amount. We have previously issued $1,070,000 of convertible notes in an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding that mature on April 30, 2023 and, together with accrued interest of $16,268.36 through October 31, 2020, would be converted into Class A Common Stock at that time unless converted into equity prior to that date. Even if we raise the maximum amount in this offering, we are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if it cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the company itself or the broader economy, we may not survive. If we raise less than the maximum offering amount, we will have to find other sources of funding for some of our plans outlined in "Use of Proceeds."

 

We may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital. We anticipate needing access to credit in order to support our working capital requirements as we grow. Although interest rates are low, it is still a difficult environment for obtaining credit on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain credit when we need it, we could be forced to raise additional equity capital, modify our growth plans, or take some other action. Issuing more equity may require bringing on additional investors. Securing these additional investors could require pricing our equity below its current price. If so, your investment could lose value as a result of this additional dilution. In addition, even if the equity is not priced lower, your ownership percentage would be decreased with the addition of more investors. If we are unable to find additional investors willing to provide capital, then it is possible that we will choose to cease our operations. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment could be our intellectual property. Even if we are not forced to cease operations, the unavailability of credit could result in the Company performing below expectations, which could adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

 

We will likely need to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future, which may reduce the value of your investment in the Common Stock. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of our Common Stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of Common Stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms that are likely to be more favorable than the terms of your investment, and possibly a lower purchase price per share.

 

We have a high level of discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering.

 

Our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this offering. The use of proceeds described below is an estimate based on our current business plan. We, however, may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.

 

We may be significantly impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the U.S., Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the company’s shares and investor demand for shares generally.

 

This downturn could also materially adversely affect our potential suppliers and manufacturers, resulting in a decrease in their capacity to supply us with components for products or to manufacture our products, or an increase in the costs for supplies and manufacturing facilities. We also may not be able to engage in selling and marketing efforts that involve in person sales approach. An inability to attend trade shows may slow marketing to dental professionals and slow uptake of our product. Each of these events could materially affect our ability to grow our business.

 

12

 

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Our ability to sell our products is dependent on government regulation which can be subject to change at any time.

 

Our ability to sell product is dependent on government regulation such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and other relevant government laws and regulations. The laws and regulations concerning the selling of products may change in a way that makes it commercially unfeasible for us to selling our products and you may lose your investment in our company. See “The Company’s Business – Regulation.”

 

Risks Related to the Securities and the Offering

 

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess.

 

The valuation for the offering was established by us based on various factors, including the market size for electric toothbrushes as well as the experience of our executive team, our patent rights and consumer enthusiasm based on pre-orders received through indiegogo.com. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

 

An active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

 

There has been no public market for our Class A Common Stock.  While we have signed a quotation agreement to trade our shares of Class A Common Stock on StartEngine Secondary’s new alternative trading system (the “ATS”), an active trading market for our Class A Common Stock may never develop or, if developed, may not be maintained. If an active market for our Class A Common Stock does not develop or is not maintained, it may be difficult for you to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock you purchase in this offering without depressing the market price for the Class A Common Stock or at all. An inactive trading market also may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares. The lack of an active market also may reduce the fair market value of your shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Furthermore, we may, at any time, remove our Class A Common Stock from quotation on the ATS, in which case, a trading market may cease to exist and you may need to hold your shares indefinitely.  

 

Investors in this offering will be minority holders of our Common Stock with no voting rights.

 

The shares of Class A Common Stock are non-voting and voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders. Therefore, investors in this offering will have a limited ability to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our company’s governance documents, expanding the employee option pool, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major action requiring stockholder approval. You are trusting that our executive officers, who are majority stockholders of our voting Common Stock, will make the best decisions for the company and its stockholders as a whole. Furthermore, in the event of a liquidation of our company, you will only be paid out if there is any cash remaining after all of the creditors of our company have been paid out.

 

13

 

 

This offering involves ''rolling closings," which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have.

 

We may request that StartEngine Primary instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse offering funds to us at any time. At that point, investors whose subscription agreements have been accepted will become our stockholders. In light of our early stage of development, our business is likely to change significantly during the offering period. We will file supplements to our Offering Circular reflecting material changes and investors whose subscriptions have not yet been accepted will have the benefit of that additional information. These investors may withdraw their subscriptions and get their money back. Investors whose subscriptions have already been accepted, however, will already be our stockholders and will have no such right.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment. 

 

Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy and would be in addition to the StartEngine Primary processing fee. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment. 

 

The Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment. 

 

The price of our shares of Class A Common Stock is likely to be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

The trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, is likely to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume and the other risks described in this section. These factors also include, without limitation:

 

·increased competition or events affecting our competitors;
·actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
·failure to meet expectations of the investment community or those we otherwise provide to the public;
·our cash position, and announcements or expectations of additional financing efforts or needs, or issuances of debt or equity securities;
·sales of our shares of Class A Common Stock by us, or our stockholders in the future, or trading volume of our shares on ATS;
·market conditions in our industry or the overall performance of the equity markets and general political and economic conditions; 
·additions or departures of key management, scientific or other personnel;
·publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities or industry analysts;
·changes in the market valuation of similar companies;
·failure to successfully develop, market and sell our products;
·disputes or other developments related to intellectual property and other proprietary rights; and
·significant lawsuits, including stockholder litigation.

 

Furthermore, the public equity markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our Class A Common Stock. If the market price of our Class A Common Stock after this offering declines below the offering price in this offering, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

 

Each of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the subscription agreement for this offering has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor. 

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for stockholder actions against or brought in the name of the company. See “Description of Capital Stock.” In addition, in order to invest in this offering, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement, and not arising under federal securities laws, in state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. These forum selection provisions may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are offering Bonus Shares to some investors in this offering, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. 

 

Certain investors in this offering who invest more than $[____] or more than $[____], are entitled to receive Bonus Shares based on the amount of their investment, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. In addition, investors who “reserve” shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock via the online platform provided by StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. (“StartEngine”) prior to the qualification of this Offering will be entitled to receive Bonus Shares on the amount of their investment in the company once the offering is qualified, which also effectively gives them a discount on their investment. These Bonus Shares perks are not exclusive, and investors are eligible to receive Bonus Shares in either or both scenarios. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders” for further details. Therefore, the value of shares of investors who either (i) invest less than $[____] or $[____] or (ii) do not “reserve” shares prior to investing in the company, and pay the full price for the Class A Common Stock in this offering, will be immediately diluted by investments made by investors entitled to receive the Bonus Shares, who will effectively pay less per share.

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

 

Immediate dilution

 

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees 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 much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.

 

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their shares of Class A Common Stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders. In March 2020, 1,499,711 shares originally issued in 2007 were contributed to the capital of the company without consideration, and cancelled. Subsequently in March 2020, the company affected a 2:1 reverse stock split. In _____________ 2020, the company affected a recapitalization of its capital stock, creating non-voting Class A Common Stock and reclassifying its existing voting Common Stock as Class B Common Stock. In addition, in ________________2020, the Company amended the terms of its SAFEs to provide that they convert into Class A Common Stock, rather than preferred stock. The dilution disclosures contained in this section are based upon the instruments issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2020. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception. The share numbers and amounts in this table assume exercise of all outstanding options into shares of Class B Common Stock at their exercise price and conversion of all outstanding SAFEs and convertible notes into shares of Class A Common Stock at their respective conversion prices and gives effect to the company’s March 2020 share contribution and reverse stock split (reflecting half the number of shares and twice the per share price) and the _______________ 2020 recapitalization.

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 the 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. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another Regulation A round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

 

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).

 

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

 

  In June 2020 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.

 

  In December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000.

 

15

 

 

  In June 2021 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660.

 

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying convertible notes that the company may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.

 

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 decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

Marketing is our largest expected expenditure. Our marketing costs consist mainly of internal salaries, market research, building on-line campaigns, branding and content marketing. Also included are advertising costs on several types of media, including television, radio, podcasts and internet services such as Facebook and Google. These costs include engaging vendors such as advertising agencies and consultants.

 

Product development is our second largest expected expenditure. This mostly includes salaries for the internal research and development team. We expect to hire additional engineers and quality assurance engineers. These engineers will assist with improving our existing products as well as developing our planned new products.

 

We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interest of the company.

 

The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents the company’s estimates based upon its current plans, assumptions it has made regarding the industry and general economic conditions and its future revenues (if any) and expenditures.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates above. Investors will be relying on the judgment of the company’s management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of the company’s actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by the company’s operations (if any), business developments and the rate of the company’s growth. The company may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event that the company does not raise the entire amount it is seeking, then the company may attempt to raise additional funds through private offerings of its securities or by borrowing funds.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are a dental innovation company with a team of engineering, dental, manufacturing, regulatory, design and business experts dedicated to improving lives through easy and effective oral care products. To address global oral disease, considering the fact that 9 out of 10 people don' t brush correctly, we are developing our flagship product, the Encompass toothbrush, a revolutionary half-mouth toothbrush. The Encompass toothbrush is being designed to prevent user error while providing a thorough cleaning in just 20 seconds. Leading our engineering efforts is our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, the former Director of Engineering for Optiva (the maker of Sonicare), Ultreo, Inc. (the maker of the Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush) and Pacific Bioscience Laboratories (maker of the Clarisonic toothbrush). We have established relationships with engineering suppliers and manufacturers with solid experience in supplying and manufacturing leading oral care products. We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design with a provisional worldwide patent application pending, as well as other patentable intellectual property relating to our current and future products.

 

Our Products and Intellectual Property

 

We are developing a half-mouth J-shaped electric toothbrush with flex fingers to adjust to the teeth and full coverage bristles for proper bristle contact with each tooth. We developed and tested various working proof-of-concept prototypes validating our pump/bladder system, adjustability, size and fit. Our pump and bladder design in the brush head provides for 100 brush stokes per second.

 

We conducted a sales campaign through indiegogo.com and received over 3,000 orders for Encompass toothbrushes totaling $450,998 in pre-sales of our product. We believe that this show of support validates the concept of our product.

 

 

We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design that was granted in 2013 and expires in 2031. We have a provisional worldwide patent application pending.

 

We have been working closely with iConn Systems, a custom engineering firm, to engineer our handle design and ultimately manufacture our Encompass toothbrush. We are in discussions with a number of parties, including iConn Systems, to supply materials for the bristle technology of our brush heads, which we have engineered internally and we have identified suppliers for the other component parts and materials of our products, such as batteries, motors, and plastics.

Strategy

 

The next steps to our development of Encompass is to finalize the bristle technology, configuration and material. Thereafter we intend to distribute our Encompass toothbrushes, beginning with our pre-orders through Indiegogo.com. Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S. However, We will be required to register the establishment and list the generic category or classification (21 CFR Part 807).

 

We plan to market and advertise Encompass through our website, social media, product placement (in movies, etc.), brochures to dental professionals, trade shows, infomercials, and commercials. Youth friendly tie-ins/licensing deals will be pursued for the “kids” brush. We will also launch a philanthropic “buy one, give one” campaign when on the market. 

 

Following distribution of Encompass toothbrushes to indiegogo.com purchasers and our other backers, our plan is to launch first in dental offices via “feet on the street” to secure the critical endorsement of dental professionals. Simultaneously, we will “soft launch” by selling direct-to-consumers from our website. From there we expect to expand to other sales avenues, such as infomercials and retail stores.

 

Initially, we intend to sell the Encompass toothbrush in single packs, dual packs, and family packs. Brush heads are recommended to be replaced every 3 months and we intend to sell replacement brush heads under a subscription model, providing for a recurring revenue stream. Thereafter, we expect to develop additional therapeutic features and complimentary products.

 

Market Opportunity

 

The global electric toothbrush market size is expected to reach $3.9 billion by 2024, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% during the forecasted period. The oral care market generally is projected to reach $53.3 billion by 2025 from $44.5 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 3.0%. Current products in oral care market are failing to meet oral care needs as oral disease affects nearly 50% of the global population, with tooth decay affecting nearly 2.4 billion individuals with permanent teeth and more than 480 million children with primary teeth. Consumers deserve a better, faster, smarter way to brush and disabled and elderly communities need a solution that understands their limitations. We believe our Encompass toothbrush, once developed, will be well positioned to address this problem.

 

Competition

 

We will compete with larger, established companies who currently have products on the market and/or various respective product development programs, such as such as Colgate-Palmolive, Koninklijke Philips, Proctor &Gamble, Panasonic and Water Pik. Many of our competitors have much better financial means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. The Oral-B brand by Proctor & Gamble has been the leader in oral care for over 60 years, and the global leader in both manual and powered toothbrushes. Sonicare, made by Koninklijke Philips following its acquisition of Optiva, is the powered toothbrush most endorsed by U.S. dental professionals. Both brands make highly effective toothbrushes only if used correctly by consumers. Studies show only 1 in 10 people brush correctly. It is recommended that people brush for 2 minutes twice a day and floss at least once. Although statistics show that the average American brushes for just 45 to 70 seconds per day.

 

There are emerging "mouthguard" toothbrushes, or U-shaped toothbrushes, attempting to improve user compliance by decreasing the effort and time required. However, according to reviews of these products published on electricteeth.com, these brushes failed to remove plaque as well as standard or electric toothbrushes, when used correctly and, in many case even when they were not used correctly. A team at the University of Florence conducted a study of 22 participants, which was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, comparing the then best-selling V-White toothbrush to a manual and electric toothbrush and to not brushing at all. That U-shaped brush was found to be not effective in removing dental plaque and not significantly different from no brushing, even though its was used for a full 2 minutes during this study. We believe these poor results reflect the fact that the design does not provide for a sufficient range of motion of the bristles to reach all areas of each tooth, unlike our pump and bladder design.

Employees

 

We have six full time employees and nine part-time employees.

 

Regulation

 

Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S. However, Ryca is required to register the establishment and list the generic category or classification (21 CFR Part 807). See https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpcd/classification.cfm?id=1296.

 

We are required to comply with all applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to: labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices; and ISO 13485, Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes. While toothbrushes are not technically considered medical devices in the European Union (“EU”) under its Medical Device Directive or Medical Device Regulations, we will be required to comply with the requirements of all EU legislation and obtain certification of compliance for our products in the EU.

 

We will conduct all applicable safety testing and obtain certification as outlined in the applicable regulatory requirements and standards including:

 

UL 1431, Standard for Personal Hygiene and Health Care Appliances

ISO 20127:2020, Dentistry — Physical properties of powered toothbrushes

ISO 60335, Household and similar electrical appliances — safety

ISO 20126, Dentistry — Manual toothbrushes — General Requirements and test methods

Regulation (EC) 1275/2008, Ecodesign

Directive 2014/30/EU, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive

Directive 2006/95/EC, Low Voltage Directive

 

While we will go to market using the standard medical claims outlined for powered toothbrushes, We plan to eventually expand the medical claims/indication to include treating and preventing gingivitis upon the completion of clinical studies as outlined by the American Dental Association. Such clinical studies will include two 30-day clinical trials of at least 30 subjects per group. The studies will need to demonstrate that Encompass can be employed under unsupervised conditions by the average layman to provide a pooled average reduction in gingivitis of no less than 10% (using the Modified Gingival Index) or 15% (using the Löe and Silness Gingival Index) and a statistically significant reduction in plaque when compared to baseline results.

 

We believe this future expanded label may exceed the limitation for 510(k) exemption. This will also be the case if we decide to make claims about our bristles having antibacterial protection. However, Encompass would still be considered a Class I device with such extended indications for use as is evident in the predicate device submissions (K022900, K061199, K040416).

 

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

Because we are still an early stage company, we do not own or lease any property.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2020.

 

The financial statements included in this filing as of June 30, 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, and may not include year-end adjustments necessary to make those financial statements comparable to audited results, although in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to make interim consolidated statements of operations not misleading have been included.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in 2007 but were dormant from 2012 until 2019. Since that time, we have been engaged in the development, design and direct-to-customer marketing of our Encompass toothbrush and have relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As such, we have limited significant operating history, and have not recognized revenue to date.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the next twelve months, we intend to fund our operations with capital raised from this offering, our recent offering of convertible notes, and potentially from revenue producing activities depending on the timing of completion and distribution of our product. We may also require additional equity and /or debt funding to support our manufacturing and sales and marketing efforts until we build sufficient sales to support our operations. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital whether from revenue producing activities or otherwise, we may cease operations. Our financial information below does not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

The Company's expenses consists of, among other things, design and development of the Encompass toothbrush, and general operating expenses. The Company incurred research and development costs, recorded as general and administrative expenses, during the process of developing and designing its proof of concept models and its working prototype. Research and development costs consist primarily of outside services. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested and made ready for commercial use.

Sales and marketing, and general administrative expenses in 2019 reflect the increase in activities preparing to launch our pilot phase pending receipt of funding from this offering.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had $550,438 in cash and cash equivalents. To date we have funded our operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, loans from our founders and other individuals and pre-sales of our product through indiegogo.com. We currently utilize approximately $50,000 per month to fund our ongoing operations, which we expect to increase significantly as we move towards manufacturing and distributing our products.

 

From 2007 to 2009, we sold convertible notes totaling $175,000 with maturity dates ranging from 2010 and 2011. And bearing interest at a rate of 7%. In April 2020, we reached an agreement with each of the convertible note holders wherein the note holders agreed to cancel their note and all obligations thereunder in consideration for the issuance of a SAFE equal to the original principal amount of the notes plus interest accrued through the maturity date. The aggregate amount of the SAFEs, $200,356, will convert automatically into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the first closing of this offering at the conversion price of $[___].

 

In 2019, Dr. Cary Schwartz advanced the company $93,544 and several other individuals collectively lent us $25,000, $115,000 of which has been repaid and $3,544 of which was converted to an equity contribution.

 

In April 2020, we commenced an offering of convertible notes pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding under the Securities Act. The offering closed in July 2020 and we issued a total of $1,070,000 of convertible notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5% simple interest per annum, payable at the maturity date of April 30, 2023, unless converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock prior to that date. In the event we sell shares of stock to investors in one or more transactions resulting in gross proceeds of $1,500,000 (a “qualified offering”), the convertible notes will convert into shares of our non-voting Class A Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the lesser of: (1) 80% of the price paid by investors in the qualified offering, and (2) the quotient of $8,000,000 (“Valuation Cap”) divided by the aggregate number of our then fully diluted outstanding common shares prior to conversion. In the event that we raise $1,500,000 in this offering, the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of these convertible notes will convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a per share conversion price of $[___]. In the event that we sell our company, holders of the notes are entitled to receive the greater of (1) principal plus accrued interest and (2) the amount they would have received if the notes were converted into shares of non-voting common stock immediately prior to the sale transaction. Unless earlier converted, at maturity these convertible notes would convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Valuation Cap divided by the then fully diluted outstanding common shares prior to conversion.

 

Plan of Operation

 

At 25% of the maximum offering amount, our focus is covering tooling costs and getting Encompass to consumers, beginning with our Indiegogo customers. We will also develop our fulfillment protocols including setting up a direct channel for consumers to buy our products. Finally, we will begin targeted advertising to support our direct channel social media.

 

At 50% of the maximum offering amount, we plan to begin building up our inventory to support growth, increase our targeted advertising and add operational support.

 

At 75% or greater of the maximum offering amount, we expect to further scale our business to meet incoming orders, increase awareness and demand for our product with expanded advertising across multiple media platforms, and start setting money aside to support research & development on ancillary products and build assets, such as user videos and 3D dramatizations.

Trend Information

 

Our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that we may operates in. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote customer spending, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, will have a muted effect on spending on oral health care products. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy. Other adverse conditions may include increased competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

See the section entitled “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” at the beginning of this Offering Circular for a discussion of the modified reporting requirements for “emerging growth” companies that we may take advantage of should be become a public reporting company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The minimum subscription is $[_______], or [____] shares. The aggregate purchase price including the 3.5% processing fee payable directly to StartEngine Primary per share is $[____], resulting in a minimum investment of $[____].

 

The company has engaged StartEngine Primary, LLC (“StartEngine Primary”) as its placement agent to assist in the placement of its securities in those states it is registered to undertake such activities, including soliciting potential investors on a best efforts basis. As such, StartEngine Primary is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. StartEngine Primary is under no obligation to purchase any securities or arrange for the sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. Persons who desire information about the offering may find it at www.startengine.com. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the startengine.com website.

 

In addition, we have engaged an affiliate of StartEngine Primary, StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. to perform administrative and technology-related functions in connection with this offering on its platform.  StartEngine Primary will use its online platform to provide technology tools to allow for the sales of securities in this offering.  In addition, StartEngine CF will assist with the facilitation of credit and debit card payments through the online platform. We will reimburse StartEngine for the following expenses (i) any applicable fees for fund transfers, (ii) all credit card charges charged to StartEngine by its credit card processor (typically 3.5%), (iii) escrow agent fees charged to StartEngine by third party escrow agents, and (iv) fees charged in connection with chargebacks or payment reversals.

This fee will be used for the purpose of coordinating filings with regulators and conducting a compliance review of the company’s offering.

Bonus Shares for Certain Investors

 

Certain investors in this offering are eligible to receive bonus shares of Class A Common Stock, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. Those investors will receive, as part of their investment, additional shares for their shares purchased (“Bonus Shares”). The amount of Bonus Shares investors in this offering are eligible to receive and the criteria for receiving such Bonus Shares is as follows:

 

  (i) “Reserved” Shares. Prior to the qualification by the SEC of the company’s offering, the company will offer investors the opportunity to “reserve” shares via the StartEngine website. To reserve shares, an investor must create and login to his or her StartEngine account and navigate to the company’s campaign page. On our campaign page, the investor may select the green "Reserve My Shares" button, which will bring the investor to a new page where the investor will indicate the amount of shares (or amount of money) he or she would like to reserve in the company. The reservation is finalized by clicking the green “Reserve My Shares” button. Investors who reserve shares in this manner will receive 10% additional Bonus Shares on their actual investment once this offering is qualified by the SEC (rounded down to the nearest whole share). For example, if an investor reserves 100 shares, and subsequently confirms this reservation and purchases the 100 shares, such investor will receive an additional 10 shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock, for a total of 110 shares. “Reserving” shares is simply an indication of interest. There is no binding commitment for investors that reserve shares in this manner to ultimately invest and purchase the shares reserved of the company, or to purchase any shares of the company whatsoever.
  (ii) Investment Amount. Investors will be eligible to receive Bonus Shares based on the amount of their investment in this offering. Investors that invest at least $[____] in this offering will receive additional Bonus Shares equal to 5% of the number of shares purchased, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Investors that invest at least $[____] will additional Bonus Shares equal to 10% of the number of shares purchased, rounded down to the nearest whole share. For example, if an investor invests $[____], the investor will receive 5% more shares of Class A Common Stock, and will receive an additional [____] Bonus Shares of Class A Common Stock, for a total of [____] shares.

 

Investors receiving the 5% bonus will pay an effective price of approximately $[____] per share before the StartEngine processing fee, while investors receiving the 10% bonus will pay an effective price of approximately $[____] per share before the StartEngine processing fee. The StartEngine processing fee will be assessed on the full share price of $[____], and not the effective, post bonus price.  

 

Investors may be eligible to receive both Bonus Share perks described above. As such, investors in this offering are eligible to receive up to 20% additional Bonus Shares on their investment in this Offering.

 

37

 

 

Subscription Procedures

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Common Stock. The company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via wire, credit or debit card, or ACH only, checks will not be accepted, to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until a closing has occurred. StartEngine Crowdfunding will assist with the facilitation of credit and debit card payments through the Online Platform. The company estimates that processing fees for credit card subscriptions will be approximately 3.5% of total funds invested per transaction, although credit card processing fees may fluctuate. The company intends to pay these fees and will reimburse StartEngine Crowdfunding for transaction fees and return fees that it incurs for returns and chargebacks. The company estimates that approximately 70% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering will be paid via credit card. This assumption was used in estimating the Start Engine fees included in the total offering expenses set forth in “Use of Proceeds.” Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company.

 

The minimum investment in this offering is [____] shares of Common Stock, or $[____], plus the StartEngine processing fee of 3.5%. 

 

In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the offering via the Online Platform and agree to the terms of the offering, Subscription Agreement, and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto.

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount, including the StartEngine processing fee, that does not exceed the greater of 10% of his or her annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

The company has entered into an Escrow Services Agreement with [______________] (the “Escrow Agent”). Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering.  All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by wire, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving shares; escrowed funds may be returned.

 

The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter or placement agent or sales agent of this offering and will not solicit any investment in the company, recommend the company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such, or distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors. The use of the Escrow Agent’s technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of the company or this offering. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the company.

 

In the event that the company terminates the offering while investor funds are held in escrow, those funds will promptly be refunded to each investor without deduction or interest and in accordance with Rule 10b-9 under the Exchange Act.

 

Pursuant to our agreement with StartEngine Primary, the company agrees that 6% of the total funds received into escrow will be held back as a deposit hold in case of any ACH refunds or credit card chargebacks. The hold will remain in effect for 180 days following the close of the offering. 60 days after the close of the offering, 4% of the deposit hold will be released to the company. The remaining 2% will be held for the final 120 days of the deposit hold. After such further 120 days, the remaining 2% will be released to the company. Assuming the maximum offering amount, we estimate the deposit hold could be for up to $290,000.

 

We have signed a quotation agreement with StartEngine Primary to trade our shares of Class A Common Stock on StartEngine Secondary, its SEC-registered alternative trading system. A copy of the quotation agreement is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

StartEngine Secure LLC, an affiliate of StartEngine Primary, will serve as transfer agent to maintain stockholder information on a book-entry basis. We will not issue shares in physical or paper form. Instead, our shares will be recorded and maintained on our stockholder register.

 

38

 

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement provides that state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware are the exclusive forum for all actions or proceedings relating to the subscription agreement. However, this exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Selling Stockholders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of stockholders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.

 

Investor Perks

 

To encourage participation in the offering, the company is providing specific perks for investors. The company is of the opinion that these perks do not alter the sales price or cost basis of the securities in this offering. Instead, the perks are promotional items intended as a “thank you” to investors that help the company achieve its mission. However, it is recommended that investors consult a tax professional to fully understand any tax implications of receiving any perks before investing. The perks available to investors that invest in our Class A Common Stock are as follows:

 

  • $500 — 50% off first purchase of an Encompass Toothbrush

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

September 24, 2020

 

To:          Board of Directors, Ryca International, Inc.

Attn: Ryan Schwartz

 

Re:          2019-2018 Financial Statement Audit

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ryca International, Inc. (a corporation organized in Delaware) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the calendar year periods thus ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

F-2

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the calendar year periods thus ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes to the financial statements, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

See Independent Auditor’s Report

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Ryca International, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on 2007 but was dormant from 2012 until 2019. The Company is engaged in the development, design and direct-to-customer marketing of their half-mouth toothbrush product. The Company has offered presales of their product through 2019 with manufacturing and deliver to consumers planned for 2020.

 

Since Inception, the Company is a development stage and has relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 8). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from a crowdfunding campaign (see Note 9) and the receipt of funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional capital, it may cease operations. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include valuation of provision for refunds and chargebacks, equity transactions and contingencies.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that the Company operates in. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

F-8

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $250,325 and $0 of cash on hand, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any fixed assets and there was no impairment.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
   
·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

F-9

 

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Any deferred tax items of the Company have been fully valued based on the determination of the Company that the utilization of any deferred tax assets is uncertain.

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when it has satisfied the performance obligations under an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of any related receivable is probable. 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 earns revenues through the sale of its products. The Company records the revenue when the products have been delivered to their customers.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. As of December 31, 2019 the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

 

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.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

F-10

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 the 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 the 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 our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUE AND PRE-SALE PROCEEDS

 

The Company has pre-sold its product through its direct-to-customer channel. The Company records the proceeds of its pre-sales as an unearned revenue liability until the product is delivered. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of unearned revenue of the Company totals $375,759 and $0, respectively. The Company’s pre-sales have been made through Indiegogo and are reported net of any platform expenses charged by Indiegogo.

 

The nature of the agreement with customers solicited through the Indiegogo platform is that if the Company is unable to deliver the goods as promised, customers are not necessarily entitled to a refund of their sponsorship amounts. The Company has, nevertheless, booked these amounts as liabilities as it fully expects to be able to deliver the goods in accordance with the Indiegogo campaign.

 

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

The Company filed its corporate income tax return for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The income tax returns will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service under the statute of limitations for a period of three years from the date it is filed. The Company incurred a loss during the period from Inception through December 31, 2019 however has accrued $13,513 of state income tax payable due to timing differences in recognizing pre-sales revenue for tax purposes.

 

NOTE 5 – DEBT

 

In capitalizing and funding the early operations of the Company, the Company extended convertible notes, with various individuals (the “Investor Notes Payable”) which have a collective outstanding balance of $175,000. The notes accrued interest at the rate of 7% per annum, compounded annually. Interest was payable at maturity.

 

F-11

 

 

As part of the inducement to secure and sustain the investment, warrants for the issuance of common stock were awarded to the Investor Note holders at varying strike prices. The Warrants were required to be exercised, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the earlier of 1) closing date of the Next Equity Financing, 2) on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or if such Maturity Date is extended by the Company then such later date, or 3) the date that the Note is pre-paid in full, with acceptable (and expected) consideration to be a reduction in the outstanding balance of the note of approximately.

 

The Company reached an agreement with each of the convertible note holders to extend the maturity date on each of the notes until April 30, 2023, cancel the corresponding Warrant Agreements, and cap the accrued interest as of the original maturity date.

The minimum investment was $250, and each investor received a convertible note that offers the investor the right to receive Non-Voting Common Stock in Ryca International, Inc. The amount of Non-Voting Common Stock an investor will receive will be determined at the next equity round in which the Company raises at least $1,500,000 in a qualified equity financing.

These investors also receive 5.0% interest per year added to their investment. When the maturity date is reached, if the note has not converted then the investors are entitled to receive Non-Voting Common Stock equal to their investment and interest back at a price per security determined by dividing the Valuation Cap by the aggregate number of outstanding equity securities of the Company as of immediately prior (on a fully diluted basis).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Ryca International, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on 2007 but was dormant from 2012 until 2019. The Company is engaged in the development, design and direct-to-customer marketing of their half-mouth toothbrush product. The Company has offered presales of their product through 2019 with manufacturing and deliver to consumers planned for early 2021.

 

Since Inception, the Company is a development stage and has relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 7). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from multiple crowdfunding campaigns (see Note 8) and the receipt of funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional capital, it may cease operations. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include valuation of provision for refunds and chargebacks, equity transactions and contingencies.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that the Company operates in. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

F-19

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $550,438 and $250,325 of cash on hand, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any fixed assets and there was no impairment.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Any deferred tax items of the Company have been fully valued based on the determination of the Company that the utilization of any deferred tax assets is uncertain.

 

F-20

 

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when it has satisfied the performance obligations under an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of any related receivable is probable. 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 earns revenues through the sale of its products. The Company records the revenue when the products have been delivered to their customers.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. As of June 30, 2020 the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

 

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.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 the 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 the 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 our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUE AND PRE-SALE PROCEEDS

 

The Company has pre-sold its product through its direct-to-customer channel. The Company records the proceeds of its pre-sales as an unearned revenue liability until the product is delivered. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of unearned revenue of the Company totals $410,370 and $375,759, respectively. The Company’s pre-sales have been made through Indiegogo and are reported net of any platform expenses charged by Indiegogo.

 

The nature of the agreement with customers solicited through the Indiegogo platform is that if the Company is unable to deliver the goods as promised, customers are not necessarily entitled to a refund of their sponsorship amounts. The Company has, nevertheless, booked these amounts as liabilities as it fully expects to be able to deliver the goods in accordance with the Indiegogo campaign.

 

NOTE 4 – DEBT

 

On January 22, 2020, the Company repaid $90,000 to Cary Schwartz. The balance owing to Mr. Schwartz of $3,544 was subsequently added to Capital Contribution. The Company repaid the loans from Neill Sullivan and Michael Nelson in full on March 9, 2020 and April 17, 2020, respectively. Bruce Petrie and Barbara Griffin’s loans were repaid in full on April 20, 2020 and April 27, 2020, respectively.

 

In April 2020, the Company reached an agreement with each of the Convertible Note holders listed below to convert their respective convertible notes into SAFE agreements. If there is an equity financing before the termination of the SAFEs, the SAFEs will automatically convert into the number of shares of SAFE preferred stock equal to the SAFE’s purchase amount and providing for a 50% discount price.

 

These SAFEs will automatically terminate (without relieving the Company of any obligations arising from a prior breach of or non-compliance with these SAFEs) immediately following the earliest to occur of: (i) the issuance of capital stock to the investor pursuant to the automatic conversion of the SAFE under Section 1(a); or (ii) the payment, or setting aside for payment, of amounts due the Investor pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 1(c) of the SAFE agreement.

NOTE 7 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operation in 2007 and incurred a loss since inception.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Completed Crowdfunding Offering

 

On July 23, 2020, the Company completed an offering (the “Crowdfunded Offering”) through StartEngine and its FINRA approved Regulation CF portal, which raised $1,070,000.

 

The minimum investment was $250, and each investor received a convertible note that offers the investor the right to receive Non-Voting Common Stock in Ryca International, Inc. The amount of Non-Voting Common Stock an investor will receive will be determined at the next equity round in which the Company raises at least $1,500,000 in a qualified equity financing. The highest conversion price per security is set based on a $8,000,000 valuation cap or if less, then the investor will receive a 20.0% discount on the price the new investors are paying. These investors also receive 5.0% interest per year added to their investment. When the maturity date is reached, if the note has not converted then the investors are entitled to receive Non-Voting Common Stock equal to their investment and interest back at a price per security determined by dividing the Valuation Cap by the aggregate number of outstanding equity securities of the Company as of immediately prior (on a fully diluted basis).

 

The Company intends to revise the agreements with each of the holders of SAFEs listed in Note 4 wherein their outstanding rights under the Safe Conversion Agreement, upon Conversion, will convert into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2020 through November 30, 2020, the issuance date of these financial statements.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

 

19

 

 

(ii)                                         StartEngine will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based solely upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing- the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based solely upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by StartEngine expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

 

(iii)                                        Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under subsection (i) or (ii) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (a) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

 

20

 

 

(iv)                                        If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (i) or (ii) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed to give the notice required under subsection (iii) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and StartEngine on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the Fee received by StartEngine. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or StartEngine on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and StartEngine agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (iv). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (iv) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (iv), each StartEngine will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Fee received by such StartEngine. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

11.TERMINATIONS.

6.                   Conversion.

 

6.1               Automatic Conversion. Upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a Merger Event or (ii) the closing of the Corporation’s first sale of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class B Common Stock at a 1-for-1 ratio, and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation (the time of such conversion, the “Automatic Conversion Time”).

Ninth: To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

 

Tenth: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which DGCL permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.

If any provision or provisions of this Article Eleventh shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Eleventh (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article Eleventh containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

7.1               Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, or as a controlling person of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 7.2 of this Article VII, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (a) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (c) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (d) the proceeding (or part thereof) is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement under an indemnity agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights hereunder shall be contract rights and shall include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is tendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

 

12

 

 

7.2               Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.1 is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, or 20 days in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if such suit is not frivolous or brought in bad faith, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, shall be on the corporation.

 

7.3               Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of related expenses, to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the corporation.

 

7.4               Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

7.5               Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any person 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 employee benefit plans, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VII.

 

7.6               Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance to the extent reasonably available, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

13

 

 

7.7               Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an indemnitee or his or her successor in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

This list shall determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

 

1.6           Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Where a separate class vote by a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.

 

1.7           Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the Chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such person, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as Secretary of such meeting, or by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 4.5, written notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given in conformity herewith. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

1.8           Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation. For the sake of clarity, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation may provide that one or more classes or series of stock may be non-voting stock, subject to such limitations and/or conditions as may be set forth therein. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person or may authorize any other person or persons to vote or act for such stockholder by a written proxy executed by the stockholder or the stockholder’s authorized agent or by an electronic transmission permitted by law and delivered to the Secretary of the corporation. No stockholder may authorize more than one proxy for his or her shares. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

(b)               All other matters shall be determined by a majority in voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, a majority of the shares of each such class present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter shall decide such matter), provided that a quorum is present, except when a different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

 

(c)               All voting, including on the election of directors, but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or the stockholder’s proxy, a vote by ballot shall be taken. Each ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedures established for the meeting. The corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as an alternate inspector to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

The chairman of the meeting shall call the meeting to order, establish the agenda, and conduct the business of the meeting in accordance therewith or, at the chairman’s discretion, the business of the meeting may be conducted otherwise in accordance with the wishes of the stockholders in attendance. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

 

1.11         Stockholder Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares 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 thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Prompt notice of the taking of a 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 by a proxy holder or other person authorized to act for a stockholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purpose of this Section 1.11, provided that such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (a) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or by a person authorized to act for the stockholder and (b) the date on which such stockholder or authorized person transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

 

1.12         Meetings by Remote Communication. If authorized by the Board of Directors, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in the meeting and be deemed present in person and vote at the meeting, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (b) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

4.2           Certificates of Stock. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairperson of the Board or Vice-Chairperson of the Board, or the President or a Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased Corporation 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 such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The Corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.

 

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor.

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.

Except as may be otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock until the shares have been transferred on the books of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.

Such record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action to which such record date relates.

 

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day before the date on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day before the date on which the meeting is held. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the date on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

ARTICLE VII
Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

7.1           Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, or as a controlling person of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer, or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 7.2 of this Article VII, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (a) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (c) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (d) the proceeding (or part thereof) is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement under an indemnity agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights hereunder shall be contract rights and shall include the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is tendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

 

12

 

 

7.2           Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.1 is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, or 20 days in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if such suit is not frivolous or brought in bad faith, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, shall be on the corporation.

 

7.3           Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of related expenses, to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the corporation.

 

7.4           Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

13

 

 

7.5           Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or any person 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 employee benefit plans, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VII.

 

7.6            Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance to the extent reasonably available, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

7.7           Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an indemnitee or his or her successor in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

(j)             to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement and to make all other determinations and take all other actions with respect to the Plan or any Award that the Board deems advisable to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or applicable law.

 

3.4              Administration with Respect to Insiders. With respect to participation by Insiders in the Plan, at any time that any class of equity security of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Plan must be administered in compliance with the requirements, if any, of Rule 16b-3.

 

3.5              Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or as officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, to the extent permitted by applicable law, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board or the Company is delegated will be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it is adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within 60 days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person offers to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

4.SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

 

4.1              Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan will be Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Six Hundred Forty (950,640) and such shares may consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any such time as the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the Plan is subject to compliance with Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations (“Section 260.140.45”), the total number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Awards (together with options outstanding under any other stock plan of the Company) and the total number of shares provided for under any stock bonus or similar plan of the Company may not exceed thirty percent (30%) (or such other higher percentage limitation as may be approved by the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 260.140.45) of the then outstanding shares of the Company as calculated in accordance with the conditions and exclusions of Section 260.140.45.

 

4.2              Share Counting. If an outstanding Award for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant’s exercise or purchase price or is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares of Stock will not be treated as issued pursuant to the Plan (a)  with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash or (b) to the extent such shares are withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 9.2. If the exercise price of an Option is paid by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant, or by means of a Net Exercise, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by the net number of shares issued upon the exercise of the Option.

 

8

 

 

4.3              Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting regular, periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments must be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, in the ISO Share Limit set forth in Section 5.3(a), and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Awards in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards will be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the exercise or purchase price per share will be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. In no event may the exercise or purchase price, if any, under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Award. Such adjustments will be determined by the Board, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest therein.

 

4.4              Assumption or Substitution of Awards. The Board may, without affecting the number of shares of Stock available pursuant to Section 4.1, authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits under this Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with Section 409A and any other applicable provisions of the Code.

 

5.ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION AND OPTION LIMITATIONS.

 

5.1              Persons Eligible for Awards. Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

 

5.2              Participation in the Plan. Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Board. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section will not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

 

5.3              Incentive Stock Option Limitations.

 

(a)            Maximum Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. Subject to Section 4.1 and adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options may not exceed Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Six Hundred Forty (950,640) shares (the ISO Share Limit). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options will be the number of shares determined in accordance with Section 4.1, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

 

9

 

 

(b)           Persons Eligible. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee. Any person who is not an Employee on the effective date of the grant of the Option may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

(c)            Fair Market Value Limitation. To the extent that Options designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for Stock having a Fair Market Value greater than $100,000, the portion of such Options that exceeds such amount will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, Options designated as Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Stock will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Stock is granted. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate the portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant will be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, shares of Stock issued pursuant to each such portion will be separately identified.

 

6.STOCK OPTIONS.

 

Each Option must be evidenced by an Award Agreement specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board establishes. The Award Agreement may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and must comply with and will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

6.1              Exercise Price. The Board will be established, in its discretion, the exercise price for each; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share for an Option may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder may have an exercise price per share less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.

 

6.2              Exercisability and Term of Options. Options will be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as determined by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years after the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, and (c) no Option granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, will be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such Option (except in the event of such Employee’s death, Disability or retirement, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Board in the grant of an Option, each Option will terminate 10 years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

 

10

 

 

6.3              Payment of Exercise Price.

 

(a)            Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option must be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (ii) if permitted by the Board and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.3(b), by means of (1) a Stock Tender Exercise, (2) a Cashless Exercise or (3) a Net Exercise; (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Board may grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

 

(b)            Limitations on Forms of Consideration.

 

(i)                Stock Tender Exercise. A Stock Tender Exercisemeans the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice accompanied by a Participant’s tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, in a form acceptable to the Company of whole shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. A Stock Tender Exercise will not be permitted if it would constitute a violation of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the Company’s redemption of Stock. If required by the Company, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for a period of time required by the Company (and not used for another option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

 

(ii)              Cashless Exercise. A Cashless Exercise will be permitted only upon the class of shares subject to the Option becoming publicly traded in an established securities market. A Cashless Exercisemeans the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares of Stock being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

 

(iii)             Net Exercise. A Net Exercisemeans the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice followed by a procedure pursuant to which (1) the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option by the largest whole number of shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (2) the Participant will pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of such aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued.

 

11

 

 

 

6.4              Effect of Termination of Service.

 

(a)               Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless a longer exercise period is provided by the Board, an Option will terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and will be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter will terminate:

 

(i)              Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration six (6) months (or such longer period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the Option Expiration Date).

 

(ii)             Death. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months (or such longer period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant’s Service will be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within 30 days (or such longer period provided by the Board) after the Participant’s termination of Service.

 

(iii)            Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause, the Option will cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service.

 

(iv)            Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of 30 days (or such longer period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

 

(b)               Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.4(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 11 below, the Option will remain exercisable until the later of (i) 30 days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Section 6.4(a), but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

 

12

 

 

6.5              Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option is exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Option is not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except (a) transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (b)  to the extent permitted by the Board, in its discretion, subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, only as permitted by applicable regulations under Section 421 of the Code in a manner that does not disqualify such Option as an Incentive Stock Option.

 

7.RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

 

Each Restricted Stock Award must be evidenced by an Award Agreement specifying whether the Award is a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Board establishes. The Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and must comply with and will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

7.1              Types of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted in the form of either a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Board determines, including the attainment of one or more performance goals.

 

7.2              Purchase Price. The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Purchase Right will be established by the Board in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) is required as a condition of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus, the consideration for which is services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. However, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant must furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

 

7.3              Purchase Period. A Restricted Stock Purchase Right is exercisable within a period established by the Board not exceeding 30 days from the effective date of the grant of the Restricted Stock Purchase Right.

 

7.4              Payment of Purchase Price. Payment of the purchase price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Purchase Right must be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.

 

13

 

 

7.5              Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria established by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event or as provided in Section 7.8. Upon request by the Company, each Participant must execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock and must promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing such transfer restrictions.

 

7.6              Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section, Section 7.5 and any Award Agreement, during any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares; provided, however, that if so determined by the Board and provided by the Award Agreement, such dividends and distributions will be subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid, and otherwise will be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which such dividends or distributions are paid to stockholders (or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date such dividends or distributions are paid to stockholders). In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award will be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

 

7.7              Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Board in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability), then (a) the Company will have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Right that remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and (b) the Participant will forfeit to the Company for no consideration any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. The Company will have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

 

7.8              Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights. Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award will not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder will be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

 

14

 

 

8.CHANGE IN CONTROL; DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION.

 

8.1              Effect of Change in Control on Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, outstanding Awards will be subject to the definitive agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the Change in Control. Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, the Board may provide for any one or more of the following:

 

(a)               Accelerated Vesting. In its discretion, the Board may provide in the grant of any Award or at any other time may take any action it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability and/or vesting in connection with a Change in Control of each or any outstanding Award (or portion thereof) and shares acquired pursuant any Award upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following the Change in Control, and to such extent as the Board determines.

 

(b)               Assumption, Continuation or Substitution of Awards. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the Acquiror), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each or any Award (or portion thereof) outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquiror’s stock. The holder of any Award (or portion thereof) that is neither assumed, continued by, or substituted for by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control will be given reasonable advance notice by the Company (in writing or electronically) regarding the treatment of such Award in the Change in Control and, to the extent any such Award is not exercised as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control, such Award will terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control. For the purposes of this subsection (b), an Award will be considered assumed, continued, or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the Acquiror or its Parent, the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the Acquiror or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (b) to the contrary, and unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, that a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

 

15

 

 

(c)               Cash-Out of Outstanding Awards. The Board may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously exercised or settled will be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Board) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, will be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. If any portion of such consideration may be received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control on a contingent or delayed basis including pursuant to an escrow, earn-out, holdback or similar arrangement applicable to Company shareholders generally, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change in Control on the basis of the Board’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable amount of future payment of such consideration. In the event a determination under this subsection (c) is made by the Board, an Award having an exercise or purchase price per share equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control may be canceled without payment of consideration to the holder thereof.

 

(d)               Award Subject to Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount constituting nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A would become payable under this Plan by reason of a Change in Control, such amount will become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Any Award that constitutes Section 409A deferred compensation and that would vest and otherwise become payable upon a Change in Control in accordance with Section 8.1(a) will vest to the extent provided by such Award but will be converted automatically at the effective time of the Change in Control into a right to receive, in cash on the date or dates such award would have been settled in accordance with its then existing settlement schedule or otherwise at the earliest time that would not result in taxation under Section 409A, an amount or amounts equal in the aggregate to the intrinsic value of the Award at the time of the Change in Control.

 

(e)               Treatment of Awards. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 8.1, the Board will not be required to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly in the Change in Control transaction.

 

8.2              Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it previously has not been exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

16

 

 

9.TAX WITHHOLDING.

 

9.1              Tax Withholding in General. The Company has the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company has no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

 

9.2              Withholding in or Directed Sale of Shares. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or vesting of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations may not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. The Company may require a Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting or exercise of an Award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Award determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to the Participating Company in cash.

 

9.3              Section 83(i) Election Not Permitted. The Company will not establish an escrow arrangement in accordance with Section 83(i)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code intended to satisfy the income tax withholding requirements with respect to qualified stock. Accordingly, no Participant will be permitted to make an election under Section 83(i) of the Code with respect to any shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Option.

 

10.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.

 

The Plan and all Awards are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards will be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A, as determined by the Company in good faith, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. It is intended that any election, payment or benefit which is made or provided pursuant to or in connection with any Award that may result in nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A will comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Board will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A, and neither the Company nor the Board will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

 

17

 

 

11.COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

 

The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act will at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award or (b) the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

 

12.AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN OR AN AWARD.

 

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, there must be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Board. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Award may have a materially adverse effect on any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, (a) an amendment to the Plan or any Award that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option will not be treated as having a materially adverse effect on the Award and (b) the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A.

 

13.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

13.1Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.

 

(a)               Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to a right of first refusal, one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company will have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant will execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and will promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

 

18

 

 

(b)               Notwithstanding the provisions of any Award Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the date on which the Stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as such term is used in the Exchange Act) or is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefore are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal, the Board may prohibit any Participant who acquires shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or any transferee of such Participant from selling, transferring, assigning, pledging, or otherwise disposing of or encumbering any such shares (each, a Transfer) without the prior written consent of the Board. The Board may withhold consent to any Transfer for any reason, including without limitation any Transfer (i) to any individual or entity identified by the Company as a potential competitor or considered by the Company to be unfriendly, or (ii) if such Transfer increases the risk of the Company having a class of security held of record by such number of persons as would require the Company to register any class of securities under the Exchange Act; or (iii) if such Transfer would result in the loss of any federal or state securities law exemption relied upon by the Company in connection with the initial issuance of such shares or the issuance of any other securities; or (iv) if such Transfer is facilitated in any manner by any public posting, message board, trading portal, Internet site, or similar method of communication, including without limitation any trading portal or Internet site intended to facilitate secondary transfers of securities; or (v) if such Transfer is to be effected in a brokered transaction; or (vi) if such Transfer would be of less than all of the shares of Stock then held by the stockholder and its affiliates or is to be made to more than a single transferee.

 

13.2          Forfeiture Events. The Board may determine that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but will not be limited to, termination of Service for Cause, any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service, or any accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements of securities laws as a result of which, and to the extent that, such reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment is required by applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award will be subject to the Company’s clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time (the “Clawback Policy”). The Board may require a Participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law.

 

13.3          Provision of Information. At least annually, copies of the Company’s balance sheet and income statement for the just completed fiscal year must be made available to each Participant and purchaser of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Award; provided, however, that this requirement does not apply if all offers and sales of securities pursuant to the Plan comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 701 under the Securities Act. The Company is not required to provide such information to key persons whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information. The Company will deliver to each Participant such disclosures as are required in accordance with Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f) under the Exchange Act, the Company will provide to the applicable Participants the information described in Securities Act Rules 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) by a method allowed under Rule 12h-1(f)(1)(vi) and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12h- 1(f)(1)(vi), provided that the Participant agrees to keep the information confidential until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

19

 

 

13.4          Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, will have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan will confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award will in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

 

13.5          Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Stock covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 or another provision of the Plan.

 

13.6          Delivery of Title to Shares. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company will issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and will deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

 

13.7          Fractional Shares. The Company will not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

 

13.8          Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation will be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefits.

 

20

 

 

13.9          Severability. If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

13.10      No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan will be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Participating Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

 

13.11      Choice of Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

 

13.12      Corporate Records. Corporate action constituting the grant of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless a later effective date is expressly provided by the Board in granting the Award, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (including, without limitation, Board written consents in lieu of a meeting, resolutions, or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant of the Award contain terms (including, without limitation, the exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those contained in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the preparation of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control, and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term contained in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

 

13.13      Stockholder Approval. The Plan or any increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock issuable under the Plan as provided in Section 4.1 (the “Authorized Shares”) must be approved by a majority of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote within a period beginning twelve (12) months before and ending twelve (12) months after the date of adoption thereof by the Board. Awards granted prior to security holder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Authorized Shares previously approved by the security holders will become exercisable no earlier than the date of security holder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Authorized Shares, as the case may be, and such Awards will be rescinded if such security holder approval is not received in the manner described in the preceding sentence.

Exhibit 6.2

 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 22, 2007 (the “Effective Date) by and between RYCA International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RYCA” or the “Company”) and Ryan Schwartz, an individual (“Consultant”).

 

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Company and Consultant agree as follows:

 

1.             Scope of Activity. Consultant agrees to engage in the activities and to carry out the projects and functions specified on the Description of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and on such Description of Work (the “Services”). The parties may amend Exhibit A from time to time to add additional Services or projects to the Description of Work, or to amend the terms of existing Services or projects, provided that any such amendment to Exhibit A must be executed by both parties. Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that Consultant will perform the Services under this Agreement in a timely, professional and workmanlike manner and that all materials and deliverables provided to Company will comply with the requirements set forth in the Description of Work.

 

2.             Payment for Services. In consideration for Consultant’s Services, the Company shall pay Consultant the fees and other compensation set forth on Exhibit A, subject to the limitations, terms and conditions therein. The parties agree that the compensation referred to in this Section 2 constitute full and complete consideration for Consultant’s performance of the Services hereunder, for all rights acquired by the Company, and all of Consultant’s representations, warranties, and agreements hereunder. RYCA shall also reimburse Consultant for reasonable and necessary, pre-approved, out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Services furnished hereunder. Consultant will submit monthly invoices to RYCA electronically for the Services rendered and any pre-approved expenses incurred within 7 business days after the last business day of the preceding month. RYCA shall remit payment 30 days following receipt of such an invoice.

 

3.Term and Termination.

 

(a)                This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect for a term of 1 year, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 3. Thereafter, this Agreement may be extended by mutual agreement in writing by the parties.

 

(b)                Subject to the terms of Section 3(d), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by either party if the other party is in breach of this agreement and fails to correct such breach within 10 days of written notice of such breach if such breach is not cured within such 10-day period. A breach giving rise to termination of this Agreement may include failure by the Company to pay any amount due to Consultant hereunder, and may include Consultant not performing the Services in compliance with the Description of Work or failure to perform such Services in conformity with the Company’s reasonable standards.

 

(c)                This Agreement may be terminated by either party for convenience, with or without cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party.

 

(d)                In addition, (i) the Company may immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of any breach by Consultant of the obligations contained in Sections 5, 6, 7 or 8 hereof, and (ii) each party may immediately terminate the Agreement if the other party dissolves, liquidates, ceases to conduct business, or becomes insolvent or seeks protection pursuant to any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement or comparable proceeding, or such proceeding is instituted against such other party and not dismissed within 60 days.

 

 

 

 

4.Relationship of Parties.

 

(a)                It is agreed that Consultant’s services are made available to the Company on the basis that Consultant shall retain Consultant’s individual professional status and is an independent contractor to the Company and not a Company employee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, employment or similar relationship. Consultant shall use Consultant’s own discretion in performing the tasks assigned, subject to the general direction of the Company and subject to the express condition that Consultant shall at all times comply with applicable law. Consultant shall supply all of the tools and materials required for performance of the Services, and shall work out of Consultant’s offices to the extent practicable.

 

(b)                Consultant will not be eligible for any Company employee benefits and the Company will not make deductions from its fees to Consultant for taxes, insurance, bonds or any other subscription of any kind. Consultant is solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns and payments required to be filed with, or made to, any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to the performance of services and receipt of fees under this Agreement.

 

(c)                Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is obligated to report as income and pay all applicable taxes in a timely manner on all compensation received by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement, and Consultant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Company to the extent of any obligation imposed on the Company to pay any withholding taxes, social security, workers’ compensation, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items, including interest and penalties thereon, in connection with any payments made to Consultant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or imposed upon the Company in the event Consultant is determined not to be an independent contractor.

 

(d)                If required by law, Consultant shall maintain workers’ compensation, health insurance and disability insurance, as well as adequate insurance to protect itself from and indemnify the Company against claims giving rise to any indemnification under this Section 4.

 

5.Confidentiality.

 

(a)                Confidential Information” means the proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, ideas, works of authorship, research, product plans, products, services, customers, customer lists, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed by the Company or any affiliate of the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. Confidential information includes the foregoing regardless of whether such information relates to the Services, and includes information observed or overheard while Consultant is performing Services. Confidential Information does not include information which (i) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant, or (ii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure.

 

(b)                Consultant shall hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and shall not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties nor use the Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance on behalf of the Company of the Services. Without the Company’s prior written approval, Consultant shall not directly or indirectly disclose to anyone the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for Consultant’s legal advisors and financial/accounting advisors.

 

 

 

 

(c)                Consultant shall not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with whom Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant in confidence, if any, and Consultant shall not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

 

(d)                Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and, in the future, shall receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreements with such third parties, provided the terms of such agreements are disclosed to Consultant.

 

(e)                Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Company’s earlier request, Consultant shall deliver to the Company all of the Company’s property and Confidential Information in tangible form and all copies thereof that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control and shall erase such material from all computer memories and storage devices within Consultant’s possession or control.

 

6.Ownership.

 

(a)                Consultant agrees that with respect to all Services performed by Consultant hereunder in the future, all inventions, works of authorship, notes, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, ideas, concepts, compilations, customer information and other commercially valuable information, as well as all derivatives and modifications thereof and thereto conceived, made or discovered by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, relating to, arising out of, or resulting from such Services (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the sole property of the Company. Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all Work Product, which records shall be and remain the property of the Company. Consultant agrees to promptly disclose and describe to Company all Work Product. Consultant agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby irrevocably assign fully to the Company all right, title and interest in such Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product cannot be assigned by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby grants to Company an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit those non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, and have sold, such Work Product. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product can neither be assigned nor licensed by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest against Company, any of Company’s successors in interest, or any of Company’s customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to use the Services or Work Product or to continue such use if commenced.

 

(b)                Consultant hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any and all so-called “moral rights”, including the right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification, that Consultant has or may have in any materials or other deliverables assigned to the Company hereunder. Consultant has attached hereto, as Exhibit B, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that were made by Consultant prior to the date hereof, that belong to Consultant and that relate to the Company’s proposed business and products, and that are not assigned to the Company; or if such list is not attached or left blank, Consultant represents that there are no such inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets.

 

 

 

 

(c)                Consultant agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Work Product, and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If Company is unable for any reason to secure Consultant’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights under any Work Product as provided under this Agreement, Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Consultant’s behalf and instead of Consultant to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance and enforcement of rights in, to and under any Work Product, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.Originality and Non-infringement.

 

(a)                Consultant represents and warrants that (i) Consultant has the right to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and to grant the rights granted hereunder, (ii) Consultant has the experience and skill to fully perform this Agreement, (iii) the Work Product and all materials and Services provided by Consultant hereunder shall be original with Consultant and the use thereof by the Company or its assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors will not infringe any copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party, and (iv) no other rights, licenses, or permissions are required from any third party nor are any payments required to be made to any third party with respect to the Work Product, the Services, and the rights granted to the Company herein, including without limitation any unions or guilds.

 

(b)                Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable outside attorney’s fees) of the Company or its affiliates, assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors arising out of any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, any alleged breach by Consultant of any services agreement between Consultant and any third party or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Consultant.

 

8.         No Conflicts. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract or accept an obligation inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations, or the scope of Services to be rendered for the Company, under this Agreement. Consultant warrants that, to the best of Consultant’s knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on Consultant’s part that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant is free to engage in other employment or consulting activity during the term of this Agreement, provided that such activity is not inconsistent with or in conflict with any provision hereof.

 

 

 

 

9.          Business Conduct and Ethics. Consultants and other service providers must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, and any other confidential information about the Company that comes to them, from whatever source. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. The Company encourages the reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and encourages its consultants and other service providers to speak with the appropriate Company personnel about the best course of action in a particular situation, whether that be violations of laws, rules or regulations or concerns regarding the company’s business or operations.

 

10.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement may assign or delegate its obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company and any successor in interest to the Company’s business.

 

(b)                Equitable Relief. Because Consultant shall have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information and other proprietary information of the Company, Consultant acknowledges that breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Consultant shall result in irreparable harm to the Company, and Consultant agrees that the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have.

 

(c)                Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled and construed by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereto each hereby submits herself or itself for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

 

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns.

 

(e)                 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified beneath such party’s signature below or at such other address as the party may hereafter specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address, five business days after the date of mailing if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, or two business days after the date of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier.

 

(f)                 Survival of Terms. The provisions of paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(g)                Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or by other electronic means, which shall be accepted as if they were original signatures.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 22, 2007 (the “Effective Date) by and between RYCA International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RYCA” or the “Company”) and Cary Schwartz, an individual (“Consultant”).

The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant is free to engage in other employment or consulting activity during the term of this Agreement, provided that such activity is not inconsistent with or in conflict with any provision hereof.

 

 

 

 

9.             Business Conduct and Ethics. Consultants and other service providers must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, and any other confidential information about the Company that comes to them, from whatever source. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. The Company encourages the reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and encourages its consultants and other service providers to speak with the appropriate Company personnel about the best course of action in a particular situation, whether that be violations of laws, rules or regulations or concerns regarding the company’s business or operations.

(b)                Equitable Relief. Because Consultant shall have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information and other proprietary information of the Company, Consultant acknowledges that breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Consultant shall result in irreparable harm to the Company, and Consultant agrees that the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have.

 

(c)                Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled and construed by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereto each hereby submits herself or itself for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

 

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns.

(d)                Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and, in the future, shall receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreements with such third parties, provided the terms of such agreements are disclosed to Consultant.

 

(e)                Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Company’s earlier request, Consultant shall deliver to the Company all of the Company’s property and Confidential Information in tangible form and all copies thereof that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control and shall erase such material from all computer memories and storage devices within Consultant’s possession or control.

 

6.Ownership.

 

(a)                Consultant agrees that with respect to all Services performed by Consultant hereunder in the future, all inventions, works of authorship, notes, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, ideas, concepts, compilations, customer information and other commercially valuable information, as well as all derivatives and modifications thereof and thereto conceived, made or discovered by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, relating to, arising out of, or resulting from such Services (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the sole property of the Company. Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all Work Product, which records shall be and remain the property of the Company.

To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product can neither be assigned nor licensed by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest against Company, any of Company’s successors in interest, or any of Company’s customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to use the Services or Work Product or to continue such use if commenced.

 

(b)                Consultant hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any and all so-called “moral rights”, including the right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification, that Consultant has or may have in any materials or other deliverables assigned to the Company hereunder.

3

 

 

(c)                Consultant agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Work Product, and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If Company is unable for any reason to secure Consultant’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights under any Work Product as provided under this Agreement, Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Consultant’s behalf and instead of Consultant to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance and enforcement of rights in, to and under any Work Product, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.Originality and Non-infringement.

 

(a)                Consultant represents and warrants that (i) Consultant has the right to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and to grant the rights granted hereunder, (ii) Consultant has the experience and skill to fully perform this Agreement, (iii) the Work Product and all materials and Services provided by Consultant hereunder shall be original with Consultant and the use thereof by the Company or its assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors will not infringe any copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party, and (iv) no other rights, licenses, or permissions are required from any third party nor are any payments required to be made to any third party with respect to the Work Product, the Services, and the rights granted to the Company herein, including without limitation any unions or guilds.

 

(b)                Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable outside attorney’s fees) of the Company or its affiliates, assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors arising out of any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, any alleged breach by Consultant of any services agreement between Consultant and any third party or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Consultant.

 

8.            No Conflicts. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract or accept an obligation inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations, or the scope of Services to be rendered for the Company, under this Agreement. Consultant warrants that, to the best of Consultant’s knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on Consultant’s part that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant is free to engage in other employment or consulting activity during the term of this Agreement, provided that such activity is not inconsistent with or in conflict with any provision hereof.

9.            Business Conduct and Ethics. Consultants and other service providers must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, and any other confidential information about the Company that comes to them, from whatever source. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company and any successor in interest to the Company’s business.

 

(b)                Equitable Relief. Because Consultant shall have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information and other proprietary information of the Company, Consultant acknowledges that breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Consultant shall result in irreparable harm to the Company, and Consultant agrees that the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have.

 

(c)                Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled and construed by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles.

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

(c)                Consultant shall not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with whom Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant in confidence, if any, and Consultant shall not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

 

(d)                Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and, in the future, shall receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreements with such third parties, provided the terms of such agreements are disclosed to Consultant.

 

(e)                Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Company’s earlier request, Consultant shall deliver to the Company all of the Company’s property and Confidential Information in tangible form and all copies thereof that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control and shall erase such material from all computer memories and storage devices within Consultant’s possession or control.

 

6.             Ownership.

 

(a)                Consultant agrees that with respect to all Services performed by Consultant hereunder in the future, all inventions, works of authorship, notes, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, ideas, concepts, compilations, customer information and other commercially valuable information, as well as all derivatives and modifications thereof and thereto conceived, made or discovered by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, relating to, arising out of, or resulting from such Services (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the sole property of the Company. Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all Work Product, which records shall be and remain the property of the Company. Consultant agrees to promptly disclose and describe to Company all Work Product. Consultant agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby irrevocably assign fully to the Company all right, title and interest in such Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product cannot be assigned by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby grants to Company an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit those non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, and have sold, such Work Product. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product can neither be assigned nor licensed by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest against Company, any of Company’s successors in interest, or any of Company’s customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to use the Services or Work Product or to continue such use if commenced.

 

(b)                Consultant hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any and all so-called “moral rights”, including the right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification, that Consultant has or may have in any materials or other deliverables assigned to the Company hereunder. Consultant has attached hereto, as Exhibit B, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that were made by Consultant prior to the date hereof, that belong to Consultant and that relate to the Company’s proposed business and products, and that are not assigned to the Company; or if such list is not attached or left blank, Consultant represents that there are no such inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets.

 

 

 

 

(c)                Consultant agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Work Product, and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If Company is unable for any reason to secure Consultant’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights under any Work Product as provided under this Agreement, Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Consultant’s behalf and instead of Consultant to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance and enforcement of rights in, to and under any Work Product, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.             Originality and Non-infringement.

 

(a)                Consultant represents and warrants that (i) Consultant has the right to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and to grant the rights granted hereunder, (ii) Consultant has the experience and skill to fully perform this Agreement, (iii) the Work Product and all materials and Services provided by Consultant hereunder shall be original with Consultant and the use thereof by the Company or its assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors will not infringe any copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party, and (iv) no other rights, licenses, or permissions are required from any third party nor are any payments required to be made to any third party with respect to the Work Product, the Services, and the rights granted to the Company herein, including without limitation any unions or guilds.

 

(b)                Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable outside attorney’s fees) of the Company or its affiliates, assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors arising out of any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, any alleged breach by Consultant of any services agreement between Consultant and any third party or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Consultant.

 

8.             No Conflicts. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract or accept an obligation inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations, or the scope of Services to be rendered for the Company, under this Agreement. Consultant warrants that, to the best of Consultant’s knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on Consultant’s part that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant is free to engage in other employment or consulting activity during the term of this Agreement, provided that such activity is not inconsistent with or in conflict with any provision hereof.

 

 

 

 

9.             Business Conduct and Ethics. Consultants and other service providers must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, and any other confidential information about the Company that comes to them, from whatever source. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. The Company encourages the reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and encourages its consultants and other service providers to speak with the appropriate Company personnel about the best course of action in a particular situation, whether that be violations of laws, rules or regulations or concerns regarding the company’s business or operations.

 

10.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement may assign or delegate its obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company and any successor in interest to the Company’s business.

 

(b)                Equitable Relief. Because Consultant shall have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information and other proprietary information of the Company, Consultant acknowledges that breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Consultant shall result in irreparable harm to the Company, and Consultant agrees that the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have.

 

(c)                Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled and construed by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereto each hereby submits herself or itself for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

 

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns.

 

(e)                Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified beneath such party’s signature below or at such other address as the party may hereafter specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address, five business days after the date of mailing if sent by certified or registered U.S. mail, or two business days after the date of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier.

 

(f)                 Survival of Terms. The provisions of paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(g)                Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or by other electronic means, which shall be accepted as if they were original signatures.

Exhibit 6.7

 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date) by and between RYCA International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RYCA” or the “Company”) and Mike Isaac, an individual (“Consultant”).

 

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Company and Consultant agree as follows:

 

1.                   Scope of Activity. Consultant agrees to engage in the activities and to carry out the projects and functions specified on the Description of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and on such Description of Work (the “Services”). The parties may amend Exhibit A from time to time to add additional Services or projects to the Description of Work, or to amend the terms of existing Services or projects, provided that any such amendment to Exhibit A must be executed by both parties. Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that Consultant will perform the Services under this Agreement in a timely, professional and workmanlike manner and that all materials and deliverables provided to Company will comply with the requirements set forth in the Description of Work.

 

2.                   Payment for Services. In consideration for Consultant’s Services, the Company shall pay Consultant the fees and other compensation set forth on Exhibit A, subject to the limitations, terms and conditions therein. The parties agree that the compensation referred to in this Section 2 constitute full and complete consideration for Consultant’s performance of the Services hereunder, for all rights acquired by the Company, and all of Consultant’s representations, warranties, and agreements hereunder. RYCA shall also reimburse Consultant for reasonable and necessary, pre-approved, out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Services furnished hereunder. Consultant will submit monthly invoices to RYCA electronically for the Services rendered and any pre-approved expenses incurred within 7 business days after the last business day of the preceding month. RYCA shall remit payment 30 days following receipt of such an invoice.

 

3.                      Term and Termination.

 

(a)                This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect for a term of 1 year, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 3. Thereafter, this Agreement may be extended by mutual agreement in writing by the parties.

 

(b)                Subject to the terms of Section 3(d), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by either party if the other party is in breach of this agreement and fails to correct such breach within 10 days of written notice of such breach if such breach is not cured within such 10-day period. A breach giving rise to termination of this Agreement may include failure by the Company to pay any amount due to Consultant hereunder, and may include Consultant not performing the Services in compliance with the Description of Work or failure to perform such Services in conformity with the Company’s reasonable standards.

 

(c)                This Agreement may be terminated by either party for convenience, with or without cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party.

 

(d)                In addition, (i) the Company may immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of any breach by Consultant of the obligations contained in Sections 5, 6, 7 or 8 hereof, and (ii) each party may immediately terminate the Agreement if the other party dissolves, liquidates, ceases to conduct business, or becomes insolvent or seeks protection pursuant to any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement or comparable proceeding, or such proceeding is instituted against such other party and not dismissed within 60 days.

 

 

 

 

4.                     Relationship of Parties.

 

(a)                It is agreed that Consultant’s services are made available to the Company on the basis that Consultant shall retain Consultant’s individual professional status and is an independent contractor to the Company and not a Company employee. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture, employment or similar relationship. Consultant shall use Consultant’s own discretion in performing the tasks assigned, subject to the general direction of the Company and subject to the express condition that Consultant shall at all times comply with applicable law. Consultant shall supply all of the tools and materials required for performance of the Services, and shall work out of Consultant’s offices to the extent practicable.

 

(b)                Consultant will not be eligible for any Company employee benefits and the Company will not make deductions from its fees to Consultant for taxes, insurance, bonds or any other subscription of any kind.

(c)                Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is obligated to report as income and pay all applicable taxes in a timely manner on all compensation received by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement, and Consultant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Company to the extent of any obligation imposed on the Company to pay any withholding taxes, social security, workers’ compensation, unemployment or disability insurance or similar items, including interest and penalties thereon, in connection with any payments made to Consultant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or imposed upon the Company in the event Consultant is determined not to be an independent contractor.

 

(d)                If required by law, Consultant shall maintain workers’ compensation, health insurance and disability insurance, as well as adequate insurance to protect itself from and indemnify the Company against claims giving rise to any indemnification under this Section 4.

 

5.                     Confidentiality.

 

(a)                Confidential Information” means the proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, ideas, works of authorship, research, product plans, products, services, customers, customer lists, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed by the Company or any affiliate of the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. Confidential information includes the foregoing regardless of whether such information relates to the Services, and includes information observed or overheard while Consultant is performing Services. Confidential Information does not include information which (i) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant, or (ii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure.

 

(b)                Consultant shall hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and shall not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, disclose any Confidential Information to any third parties nor use the Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance on behalf of the Company of the Services. Without the Company’s prior written approval, Consultant shall not directly or indirectly disclose to anyone the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for Consultant’s legal advisors and financial/accounting advisors.

 

 

 

 

(c)                Consultant shall not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any trade secrets of any former or current employer or other person or entity with whom Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant in confidence, if any, and Consultant shall not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

 

(d)                Consultant recognizes that the Company has received and, in the future, shall receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes the Company and such third parties, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreements with such third parties, provided the terms of such agreements are disclosed to Consultant.

 

(e)                Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon the Company’s earlier request, Consultant shall deliver to the Company all of the Company’s property and Confidential Information in tangible form and all copies thereof that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control and shall erase such material from all computer memories and storage devices within Consultant’s possession or control.

 

6.                     Ownership.

 

(a)                Consultant agrees that with respect to all Services performed by Consultant hereunder in the future, all inventions, works of authorship, notes, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, trade secrets, know-how, ideas, concepts, compilations, customer information and other commercially valuable information, as well as all derivatives and modifications thereof and thereto conceived, made or discovered by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, relating to, arising out of, or resulting from such Services (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as all copyrights, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the sole property of the Company. Consultant agrees to maintain adequate and current records of all Work Product, which records shall be and remain the property of the Company. Consultant agrees to promptly disclose and describe to Company all Work Product. Consultant agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby irrevocably assign fully to the Company all right, title and interest in such Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product cannot be assigned by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby grants to Company an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to fully use, practice and exploit those non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, and have sold, such Work Product. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to any Work Product can neither be assigned nor licensed by Consultant to Company, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert the non-assignable and non-licensable rights, title and interest against Company, any of Company’s successors in interest, or any of Company’s customers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to use the Services or Work Product or to continue such use if commenced.

 

(b)                Consultant hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, any and all so-called “moral rights”, including the right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification, that Consultant has or may have in any materials or other deliverables assigned to the Company hereunder. Consultant has attached hereto, as Exhibit B, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets that were made by Consultant prior to the date hereof, that belong to Consultant and that relate to the Company’s proposed business and products, and that are not assigned to the Company; or if such list is not attached or left blank, Consultant represents that there are no such inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets.

 

 

 

 

(c)                Consultant agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Work Product and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Work Product, and any copyrights, trademarks, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement. If Company is unable for any reason to secure Consultant’s signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights under any Work Product as provided under this Agreement, Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Company and Company’s duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Consultant’s behalf and instead of Consultant to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance and enforcement of rights in, to and under any Work Product, all with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant. The foregoing is deemed a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

 

7.                     Originality and Non-infringement.

 

(a)                Consultant represents and warrants that (i) Consultant has the right to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and to grant the rights granted hereunder, (ii) Consultant has the experience and skill to fully perform this Agreement, (iii) the Work Product and all materials and Services provided by Consultant hereunder shall be original with Consultant and the use thereof by the Company or its assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors will not infringe any copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party, and (iv) no other rights, licenses, or permissions are required from any third party nor are any payments required to be made to any third party with respect to the Work Product, the Services, and the rights granted to the Company herein, including without limitation any unions or guilds.

 

(b)                Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage, claims, demands or expenses (including reasonable outside attorney’s fees) of the Company or its affiliates, assignees, licensees, customers, representatives, or distributors arising out of any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, any alleged breach by Consultant of any services agreement between Consultant and any third party or any act of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Consultant.

 

8.                   No Conflicts. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will not accept work, enter into a contract or accept an obligation inconsistent or incompatible with Consultant’s obligations, or the scope of Services to be rendered for the Company, under this Agreement. Consultant warrants that, to the best of Consultant’s knowledge, there is no other existing contract or duty on Consultant’s part that conflicts with or is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Company and Consultant agree that Consultant is free to engage in other employment or consulting activity during the term of this Agreement, provided that such activity is not inconsistent with or in conflict with any provision hereof.

 

 

 

 

9.                   Business Conduct and Ethics. Consultants and other service providers must maintain the confidentiality of any information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, and any other confidential information about the Company that comes to them, from whatever source. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. The Company encourages the reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and encourages its consultants and other service providers to speak with the appropriate Company personnel about the best course of action in a particular situation, whether that be violations of laws, rules or regulations or concerns regarding the company’s business or operations.

 

10.                   Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                Assignment. Neither party to this Agreement may assign or delegate its obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign this agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company and any successor in interest to the Company’s business.

 

(b)                Equitable Relief. Because Consultant shall have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information and other proprietary information of the Company, Consultant acknowledges that breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement by Consultant shall result in irreparable harm to the Company, and Consultant agrees that the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have.

 

(c)                Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled and construed by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereto each hereby submits herself or itself for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any controversy arising hereunder to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in the State of California.

 

(d)                Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter. No waiver or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by each party. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the BAA, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Neither party shall have any liability for its failure to perform its obligations hereunder when due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns.

 

(e)                Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified beneath such party’s signature below or at such other address as the party may hereafter specify in writing.

(f)                 Survival of Terms. The provisions of paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(g)                Counterparts.
