(1) The company has engaged Sageworks Capital, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC (“Sageworks”), to perform administrative and technology related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. This includes the 1% commission, but it does not include the one-time set-up fees payable by the company to Sageworks. See “Plan of Distribution” for details.

 

(2) The company expects that, not including state filing fees, the minimum amount of expenses of the offering that we will pay will be approximately $483,000 regardless of whether the number of shares that are sold in this offering. In the event that the maximum offering amount is sold, the total offering expenses will be approximately $5,500,000.

 

This offering (the “offering”) will terminate at the earlier of (1) the date at which the Maximum Offering amount has been sold, (2) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or (3) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company at its sole discretion. The company plans to engage an escrow agent to hold any funds that are tendered by investors. The offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis without any minimum target. Provided that an investor purchases shares in the amount of the minimum investment, $504 (84 shares), there is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the company and for this offering to close, which may mean that the company does not receive sufficient funds to cover the cost of this offering. The company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company. After the initial closing of this offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis.

 

Each holder of ERC Homebuilders 2 preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to vote or for the consent of the stockholders of ERC Homebuilders 2. Holders of the Common Stock will continue to hold a majority of the voting power of all of the company’s equity stock at the conclusion of this offering and therefore control the board.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As an issuer with less than $1 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 if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange. 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:

 

  · 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 shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); 

 

 2 

 

 

  · 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, 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 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

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 was formed in 2019 and is intended to become a next generation wholesaler of build-for-rent (“Build-For-Rent”) single and two-family residences. As home ownership continues to drop and more Millennials, Gen-X’ers and Baby-Boomers want to rent, demand in the rental market for new units is increasing. There is a corresponding demand for such properties by institutional investors. The company plans to target this rising demand for single-family rental properties, and specifically the unmet demand of institutional buyers such as private equity firms, hedge funds and national rental operators by developing and wholesaling Build-For-Rent units, initially in its home state of Florida and expanding to other parts of the country from there.

 

The company will operate under the brand name ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc. and is a subsidiary of ERC Home Builders, Inc., (“ERC Parent”). ERC Parent was incorporated in 2018 by the company’s principals, who jointly operated a home renovation and new-building company in Central Florida – ERC Homes, LLC.

 

ERC Parent intends to operate two operating subsidiaries, ERC Homebuilders 1 and ERC Homebuilders 2, each an “Operating Subsidiary” and collectively the “Operating Subsidiaries”). Each Operating Subsidiary will be located in a different region of Florida, and will operate under the names listed below:

 

REGION NAME
South Florida ERC Homebuilders 1, Inc.
North Florida ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc.

 

The company was incorporated in Delaware on April 16, 2019 as ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc and the company is not currently profitable.

 

Our plan to differentiate ourselves from competitors

 

The company’s principals have decades of real estate development experience and are responsible for over a billion dollars of successful development, construction and real estate management. The company plans to differentiate itself from other Build-For-Rent developers in a number of ways including by bundling 20+ Build-For-Rents in contiguous areas, which increases simplicity and redundancy and improves efficiency over piecemeal construction. We plan to enter into pre-sale agreements for the properties in bundles prior to the construction’s completion and we plan to add features called for by our buyer entities, which may include such items as Eco Living Options, remote security options, etc. No such pre-sale agreements have been entered into as of the date of this Offering Circular.

Summary Risk Factors

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 is a startup. The company was incorporated on April 16, 2019 and is still in an early stage of development. The company is not close to profitability as initial projects can take as long as at a minimum one year to develop and construct, and may not provide a return on investment for at least as long as 18 months. Investing in the company involves a high degree of risk (see “Risk Factors”). As an investor, you should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. Some of the more significant risks include those set forth below:

 

  · This is a very young company.
  · The company’s affiliated entities have no prior performance record.
  · The company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion.
  · The company has minimal operating capital, no significant assets and no revenue from operations.
  · The success of ERC Homebuilders 2 business is dependent on purchasing large parcels of land with specific characteristics at favorable prices.

  · The company plans to raise significantly more capital and future fundraising rounds could result in dilution.
  · Success in the real estate industry is highly unpredictable, and there is no guarantee the company’s business plan will be successful in the market.
  · The company may not be able to attract purchasers for its already developed homes in a timely manner, which may negatively affect its operations and revenues.
  · ERC Homebuilders 2 operates in a highly competitive market.
  · Investor or ultimate lessee complaints or litigation on behalf of such individuals or entities or employees may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
  · The company’s insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that it could suffer and its insurance costs may increase.
  · The company may not be able to develop its properties, or obtain and maintain licenses and permits necessary for such developments, in compliance with laws, regulations and other requirements, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition.

  · The illiquidity of real estate may make it difficult for the company to dispose of one or more of our properties or negatively affect its ability to profitably sell such properties and access liquidity.
  · The company’s development and growth strategy depends on its ability to fund, develop and sell single-family real estate profitably.
  · The company’s development and construction of the first properties in Florida depends on its ability to obtain favorable mortgage financing.

RISK FACTORS

 

The SEC 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 relating to our business

 

This is a very young company.

 

The company was incorporated in April 2019. It is a startup company that has not yet started operations, and has not started to build its Build-For-Rent properties. There is no history upon which an evaluation of its past performance and future prospects can be made. Statistically, most startup companies fail.

 

The company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2’s auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion on its financial statements, which means the company may not be able to succeed as a business without additional financing. ERC Homebuilders 2 was incorporated in April 2019. As of May 15, 2019, the date of its financial statements, it has no revenues and is not close to profitability. It has an accumulated deficit of $247,953 as of May 15, 2019. The audit report states that the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate cash from operating activities and/or to raise additional capital to fund its operations. The company’s failure to raise additional short-term capital could have a negative impact on not only their financial condition but also their ability to remain in business.

 

The company has minimal operating capital, no significant assets and no revenue from operations.

 

The company currently has minimal operating capital and for the foreseeable future will be dependent upon its ability to finance its planned operations from the sale of securities or other financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that it will be able to successfully raise operating capital in this or other offerings of securities, or to raise enough funds to fully construct and market single-family homes as described in this offering plan. The failure to successfully raise operating capital could result in its inability to execute its business plan and potentially lead to bankruptcy, which would have a material adverse effect on the company and its investors.

 

The success of ERC Homebuilders 2 business is dependent on purchasing large and specific parcels of land at favorable prices.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 is a capital-intensive operation and requires the purchase of large and specific parcels of land appropriate for the construction of one and two-family homes. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the company has not purchased land for the first Florida development. Further, the company does not know whether it will be able to obtain purchase terms that are favorable. Finally, if this offering does not raise enough capital to purchase the land and begin construction, the company will need to procure external financing for the purchase of the land and/or construction of the properties.

 

The company plans to raise significantly more capital and future fundraising rounds could result in dilution.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 will need to raise additional funds to finance its operations or fund its business plan. Even if the company manages to raise subsequent financing or borrowing rounds, the terms of those borrowing rounds might be more favorable to new investors or creditors than to existing investors such as you. New equity investors or lenders could have greater rights to our financial resources (such as liens over our assets) compared to existing shareholders. Additional financings could also dilute your ownership stake, potentially drastically. See “Dilution” and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations– Plan of Operation” for more information. 

 

Risks Related to investments in real estate

 

There are inherent risks with real estate investments.

 

Real estate assets are subject to varying degrees of risk. For example, the real estate we intend to acquire will not be able to be quickly converted to cash, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which reduce the demand for rental space. Other factors also affect the value of real estate assets, including:

 

 7 

 

  

  · federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents, zoning, prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption, water and environmental restrictions;

 

  · the attractiveness of a property to tenants; and

 

  · labor and material costs.

 

Further, our investments may not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses.

 

Your investment is directly affected by general economic and regulatory factors that impact real estate investments.

 

Because we will primarily develop residential real estate, we are impacted by general economic and regulatory factors impacting real estate investments. These factors are generally outside of our control. Among the factors that could impact our real estate assets and the value of your investment are:

 

  · local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reduced demand for real estate assets of the type that we own or seek to acquire;

 

  · inability to find investors interested in our residential developments;

 

  · inability to purchase land on favorable terms;

 

  · inflation and other increases in operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes;

 

  · adverse changes in the laws and regulations applicable to us;

 

  · the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
     
  · changing market demographics;

 

  · an inability to acquire and finance properties on favorable terms;

 

  · acts of God, such as earthquakes, floods or other uninsured losses; and

 

  · changes or increases in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds.

 

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or increased defaults under existing leases.

 

Success in the real estate industry can be highly unpredictable and there is no guarantee the company’s business model will be successful in the market.

 

The company’s success will depend on whether it can successfully build and market two-family homes specifically for the Build-For-Rent market. The company is exposed to a lack of interest for the kind of properties we build by wholesalers as well as its inability to predict whether consumers would be interested in renting the properties. Consumer tastes, trends and preferences frequently change and are notoriously difficult to predict. If the company fails to anticipate future real estate investor and consumer preferences its business and financial performance will likely suffer. The real estate industry is fiercely competitive. The company may not be able to develop and sell properties in a profitable way.

 

The company may not secure pre-commitments for developments prior to breaking ground.

 

The company has not yet signed any pre-sale agreements with any institutional investors. While we plan to enter into such agreements prior to completion of our developments, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so. If we cannot sign any agreements prior to breaking ground or at some time prior to the construction and completion of our developments, we may incur additional costs related to sales and marketing and may be delayed in completing our developments or be subject to additional management expenses. 

 

 8 

 

  

If we successfully develop our Build-For-Rent properties but are not able to sell them in a timely manner, we may need to operate the and manage the properties as owners, which would add additional operational expenses and may result in significant losses

 

The company’s success will also depend on whether it can successfully resell it properties developed for the Build-For-Rent market either prior to completion of construction or in a timely manner thereafter. There is no guarantee that we will be able to sell our properties in a timely manner or ever. If we are unable to sell the completed properties, we will need to dedicate significant resources to managing and leasing our properties, which would pose an added financial and management burden on the company.

 

Geographic concentration of our portfolio may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the real estate markets of those areas.

 

In the event that we have a concentration of properties in a particular geographic area, our operating results and ability to make distributions are likely to be impacted by economic changes affecting the real estate markets in that area. A shareholder’s investment will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a geographically diversified portfolio of properties.

 

Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and the resulting increase in costs and risks.

 

Developing real estate properties subjects us to uncertainties such as the ability to achieve desired zoning for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities or community groups, ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. Delays in completing construction also could give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases for spaces at a newly-developed project and any potential investors we pre-sold our developments to may pull out of such agreements. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or advance other costs to third parties prior to completing construction. These and other factors can increase the costs of a project or cause us to lose our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. Furthermore, we must rely upon projections of rental income and expenses and estimates of fair market value upon completing construction when agreeing upon a price to be charged for the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may not be able to sell a property on favorable terms.

 

Potential development and construction delays and increases in the prices of building materials due to tariffs or other reasons and resultant increased costs and risks may hinder our operating results and decrease our net income.

 

Uncertainties associated with the development and construction of real property, including those related to re-zoning land for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups and our builders’ ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs and timetables. If a builder fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the construction contract or to compel performance. A builder’s performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder’s control including availability of raw materials and related expenses. Delays in completing construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders before they complete construction. These and other factors including price increases in raw materials can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment.

 

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.

 

We may acquire real estate assets located in areas that are susceptible to attack. These attacks may directly impact the value of our assets through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Although we may obtain terrorism insurance, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage to fund any losses we may incur. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Further, certain losses resulting from these types of events are uninsurable or not insurable at reasonable costs.

 

More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Any terrorist incident may, for example, deter people from traveling, which could affect the ability of our hotels to generate operating income and therefore our ability to pay distributions to you. Additionally, increased economic volatility could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases or our ability to borrow money or issue capital stock at acceptable prices.

 

The costs of complying with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect us.

 

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigating or remediating contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the original disposal was legal. In addition, the presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent the property or to use the property as collateral for future borrowing.

 

 9 

 

  

Some of these laws and regulations have been amended to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to spend material amounts of money. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Further, the condition of our properties may be affected by tenants, the condition of the land, operations in the vicinity of the properties, such as the presence of underground or above-ground storage tanks, or the activities of unrelated third parties. We also are required to comply with various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 operates in a highly competitive market.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 plans to operate in a highly competitive market and faces intense competition. Competitors include The Mungo Companies, Bernard Partnership, and T.W. Lewis, which have all been building Build-For-Rent properties for over a decade. Taylor Morrison is now entering the Build-For-Rent market. Big developers like Lennar and others are likely to pursue this market in time. Many of the company’s current and potential competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more customers, and greater brand recognition. Competitors may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing. Further, ERC Homebuilders 2 properties will compete on a local and regional level developers that are active in the company’s initial markets that include NexMetro, AHV Communities, BB Living, Christopher Todd Communities and Camillo Homes. The number and variety of competitors in this business will vary based on the location and setting and is also subject to fluctuating economic factors.

 

Customer complaints or litigation on behalf of our customers or employees may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The company’s business may be adversely affected by legal or governmental proceedings brought by or on behalf of their customers or employees. Regardless of whether any claims against the company are valid or whether they are liable, claims may be expensive to defend and may divert time and money away from operations and hurt our financial performance. A judgment significantly in excess of their insurance coverage or not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Also, adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may materially affect the company.

 

The company’s insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that it could suffer and its insurance costs may increase.

 

The company has not yet acquired insurance. It may not be able to acquire insurance policies that cover all types of losses and liabilities. Additionally, once the company acquires insurance, there can be no assurance that its insurance will be sufficient to cover the full extent of all of its losses or liabilities for which it is insured. Further, insurance policies expire annually and the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to renew insurance policies on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, if it sustains significant losses or makes significant insurance claims, then its ability to obtain future insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates could be materially adversely affected. If the company’s insurance coverage is not adequate, or it becomes subject to damages that cannot by law be insured against, such as punitive damages or certain intentional misconduct by their employees, this could adversely affect the company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

The company has concentrated its investments single-family homes to be built in smaller groupings, which are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that the values of their investments may decline if there is a prolonged downturn in real estate values.

 

The company’s operations will consist entirely of large amounts of real estate holdings. Accordingly, the company is subject to the risks associated with holding real estate investments. Changes in the preferences and interests of potential purchasers of properties developed by the company and fluctuations in the value of real estate in the areas where the company has purchased real estate may negatively affect the company’s business.

 

The company’s real estate holdings will be subject to risks typically associated with investments in real estate. The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of income earned, expenses incurred and capital appreciation generated by the related properties. In addition, a variety of other factors affect income from properties and real estate values, including governmental regulations, real estate, insurance, zoning, tax and eminent domain laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. For example, new or existing real estate zoning or tax laws can make it more expensive and time-consuming to expand, modify or renovate older properties. Under eminent domain laws, governments can take real property. Sometimes this taking is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth. Any of these factors could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The illiquidity of real estate may make it difficult for the company to dispose of one or more of our properties or negatively affect its ability to profitably sell such properties and access liquidity.

 

The company’s business is to sell its real estate assets. Because real estate holdings generally, are relatively illiquid, the company may not be able to dispose of one or more real estate assets on a timely basis. In some circumstances, sales may result in investment losses which could adversely affect the company’s financial condition. The illiquidity of its real estate assets could mean that it is forced to hold on to real estate for longer than planned or indefinitely. Failure to dispose of a real estate asset in a timely fashion, or at all, could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The company’s development and construction of the first Florida Build-For-Rent properties depends on its ability to obtain favorable mortgage financing.

 

The company intends to secure mortgage financing to fund up to 70% of its first Florida developments and plans to use debt financing to develop and construct subsequent Build-For-Rent properties. There is no guarantee that the company will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms. In the event that the company is unable to obtain such financing it may limit the company’s ability to effectuate its plans and will increase the costs and expenses of the company, thereby negatively impacting its financial prospects.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 depends on a small management team and may need to hire more people to be successful.

 

The success of ERC Homebuilders 2 will greatly depend on the skills, connections and experiences of the executives, Gerald Ellenburg and Ryan Koenig. ERC Homebuilders 2 has not entered into employment agreements with the aforementioned executives. There is no guarantee that the executives will agree to terms and execute employment agreements that are favorable to the company. Should any of them discontinue working for ERC Homebuilders 2, there is no assurance that the company will continue. Further, there is no assurance that the company will be able to identify, hire and retain the right people for the various key positions.

 

Key Man Risk.

 

The company’s founders and key men are serial entrepreneurs. It is likely that some, if not all of the founders and key men, may exit the business within the next three years. In the event one or more of our founders and/or key men exit the business the company may experience following:

 

  · financial loss;

  · a disruption to the organization's future projects;

  · damage to the brand; and

  · potentially supporting a competitor.

 

The company will require a general manager, who has not yet been hired.

 

ERC Parent is currently performing an executive search for the general manager and operator of ERC Homebuilders 2. There is no way to be certain that the general manager of ERC Homebuilders 2, once appointed, will be able to execute the same vision as ERC Parent itself. If an appropriate person is not identified and hired, the company will not succeed and since its performance will depend on that person’s performance, it is possible that other ERC subsidiaries will be more successful than the company.

 

Risks relating to this offering and our shares

 

The payment of accrued dividends is paid out of the company’s reserved funds for the foreseeable future.

 

As soon as the company receives proceeds from this offering and it is legally permissible, the company intends to pay dividends to investors. The dividend will initially be paid to investors out of the company’s reserved funds, as opposed to its revenues. Payment of the dividends and the establishment of the reserve fund will reduce the capital the company has to develop and begin marketing its single-family Build-For-Rent properties. These reserved funds will be held in a segregated account money market account located at Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati, OH. Most, if not all, of the reserved funds in the dividend reserve account will be the proceeds from this offering. (See “Use of Proceeds”). It is not certain when, if at all, the company will be able to make dividends payments to investors out of the company’s revenues. 

 

If we pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, we will have less capital available for investments and your overall return is likely to be reduced.

 

Although our distribution policy is to use our cash flow from operations to make distributions to shareholders, our operating agreement permits us to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings, or sales of assets. We have not placed a cap on the use of proceeds to fund distributions. Until the proceeds from this offering are fully invested and from time to time during the operational stage, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund distributions. If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less capital available to make investments, and your overall return is likely be reduced.

 

 11 

 

  

Distributions will be only made if permitted under Delaware law, which is subject to change, and in the sole discretion of the board of directors.

 

Pursuant to section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), dividends may be paid out of “surplus” even in the absence of profits.  Under section 154, “surplus” may be defined by the board of directors, in their sole discretion, but generally may not be less than the par value of the shares issued. Accordingly, most of the proceeds of this offering may be considered surplus. However, Delaware Law is subject to change, and the company cannot guarantee that dividend payments will always be permitted under Delaware Law.

 

The tax treatment of dividends may vary and distributions to shareholders may be taxed as capital gains. 

 

The distributions made pursuant to the Preferred Stock dividend provisions will be taxable as dividends to shareholders only to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent the company does not have current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s adjusted basis. If distributions still exceed the amount of adjusted basis, such excess would be considered as capital gains income to the shareholder, who will generally be subject to federal (and possibly State) income tax on such gains at a rate that depends upon the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the shares in question, among other factors. Since the tax treatment of any distributions may vary according to the financial performance of the company, as well as the particular circumstances of the investor, investors should consult their own tax advisers, and should further not assume that the distributions will be subject to the same tax treatment from year to year.

 

The company is responsible for certain administrative burdens relating to taxation.

 

Federal law required that the company report annually all distributions to shareholders on a Form 1099-DIV.  The company is responsible for ensuring that the extent to which such distributions constitute a distribution of earnings and profits is correctly identified on form 1099-DIV. This reporting requirement adds to the administrative burdens of the company.

 

The offering price has been arbitrarily set by the company.

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 has set the price of its Preferred Stock at $[6.00] per share. Valuations for companies at ERC Homebuilders 2 stage are purely speculative. The company’s valuation has not been validated by any independent third party and may fall precipitously. It is a question of whether you, the investor, are willing to pay this price for a percentage ownership of a start-up company. You should not invest if you disagree with this valuation.

 

There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.

 

Because this is a “best efforts” offering with no minimum, the company will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving the company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this offering.

 

The officers of ERC Homebuilders 2 control the company and the company does not currently have any independent directors.

 

ERC Parent is currently the company’s controlling shareholder. Moreover, the company’s executive officers and directors, through their ownership in ERC Parent, are currently ERC Homebuilders 2 controlling shareholders. As holders of the Class B Common Stock which gives ERC Parent 5 votes per share, as opposed to 1 vote per share for holders of Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock, ERC Parent will continue to hold a majority of the voting power of all the company’s equity stock and therefore control the board at the conclusion of this offering. Even if ERC Parent were to own as little as 16.7% of the equity securities of the company, ERC Parent would still control a majority of the voting stock. This could lead to unintentional subjectivity in matters of corporate governance, especially in matters of compensation and related party transactions. The company does not benefit from the advantages of having independent directors, including bringing an outside perspective on strategy and control, adding new skills and knowledge that may not be available within ERC Homebuilders 2, and having extra checks and balances to prevent fraud and produce reliable financial reports.

The exclusive forum provision in the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action against the company and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

 

Section VII of the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contain exclusive forum provisions for certain lawsuits, see “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Forum Selection Provisions.” Further, Section 6 of the subscription agreement for this offering includes exclusive forum provisions for certain lawsuits pursuant to the subscription agreement; see “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Forum Selection Provisions.” The forum for these lawsuits will be the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. None of the forum selections provisions will be applicable to lawsuits arising from the federal securities laws. These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations. There is also the possibility that the exclusive forum provisions may discourage stockholder lawsuits, or limit stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us and our officers and directors. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, the company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect its business and financial condition.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement and claims where the forum selection provision is applicable, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any such action. 

 

Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against the company arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement, including any claim under the federal securities laws. Further, the Court of Chancery in Delaware is a non-jury trial court and therefore those claims will not be adjudicated by a jury. See “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Jury Trial Waiver.”

 

If the company opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To the company’s knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court. However, the company believes that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of New York, which governs the subscription agreement, in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. The company believes that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. Investors should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement. 

 

If an investor brings a claim against the company in connection with matters arising under the subscription agreement, including claims under federal securities laws, an investor may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the company. If a lawsuit is brought against the company under the subscription agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action. 

 

Nevertheless, if this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of common shares or by us of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.

 

In addition, when the shares are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations and restrictions applicable to the shares or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the shares that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the shares of Preferred Stock, including but not limited to the subscription agreement.

 

 There is no current market for ERC Homebuilders 2’s shares.

 

There is no formal marketplace for the resale of our securities. Shares of the company’s Preferred Stock may eventually be traded to the extent any demand and/or trading platform(s) exists. However, there is no guarantee there will be demand for the shares, or a trading platform that allows you to sell them. The company does not have plans to apply for or otherwise seek trading or quotation of its Preferred Stock on an over-the-counter market. It is also hard to predict if the company will ever be acquired by a bigger company. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment or pledge their shares as collateral for some time.

Risks related to certain conflicts of interest

 

There are conflicts of interest between the company, its management and their affiliates.

 

ERC Parent is the parent company of ERC Homebuilders 2 and currently holds all of the issued Common Stock of ERC Homebuilders 2. ERC Parent is also affiliated with KGEM Golf, Inc. (“KGEM”) and its subsidiary GolfSuites 1, Inc., and many if not all of the executives are the same for KGEM, GolfSuites 1, and ERC Parent. Therefore, it is likely that conflicts of interest will arise between the affiliates. Conflicts of interest could include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  · use of time,
  · use of human capital, and
  · competition regarding the acquisition of properties and other assets.

 

The interests of ERC Homebuilders 2, ERC Parent and the company’s other affiliates may conflict with your interests.  

 

The company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law provide company management with broad powers and authority that could result in one or more conflicts of interest between your interests and those of the officers and directors of ERC Homebuilders 2, ERC Parent, and the company’s other affiliates. This risk is increased by the affiliated entities being controlled by ERC Parent who currently owns all of the company’s Common Stock and all our officers and directors currently have an interest in ERC Parent, through ownership, as an officer or director in ERC Parent contractually or any combination thereof. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:  

 

  ERC Parent and the company’s other affiliates will not be required to disgorge any profits or fees or other compensation they may receive from any other business they own separate from the company, and you will not be entitled to receive or share in any of the profits, return, fees or compensation from any other business owned and operated by the management and their affiliates for their own benefit.
  The company may engage ERC Parent, or other companies affiliated with ERC Homebuilders 2 to perform services, and determination for the terms of those services will not be conducted at arms’ length negotiations; and
  The company’s officers and directors are not required to devote all of their time and efforts to the affairs of the company.

 

There are conflicts of interest between the company and some of the members of the Board of Directors.

 

Rod Turner, the CEO of the online platform on which the company is offering shares, is also a member of the Board of Directors. It is likely that conflicts of interest will arise between the company and the board member. Conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  · Determining whether something is in the best interest of the company or the online platform on which the company is listing the Preferred Stock.
  · Whether to keep the offering open or to close it.
  · Use of time.
  · Payment to the online platform.

 

Loans issued by ERC Parent to ERC Homebuilders 2 may not be made at arm’s length.

 

ERC Parent may make various loans to ERC Homebuilders 2. These transactions may not be at arm’s length and therefore there is no way to assure third parties that ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2 will be acting in their own self-interest and not subject to pressure or duress from the other party.

 

 ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2 and ERC Homebuilders 1 intend to share some services.

 

ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2 will share the following services:

 

  · licensing for the use of the name and brand identity, and
  · the services of Manhattan Street Capital.
  · Participating lease agreements as described in “Support from ERC Parent.

 

Internal transactions incorporating products and services, fee sharing, cost allocations, and financing activities can create inefficiency, financial exposures and reporting risk. This arrangement could result in potential actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

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. If you invest in our Preferred Stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our Preferred Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Preferred Stock after this offering.

 

As of May 15, 2019, the net tangible book value of the company was ($247,793). Based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the offering 16,000,000 shares that equates to a net tangible book value of approximately ($0.0155) per share of Common Stock on a pro forma basis. Net tangible book value per share consists of stockholders’ aggregate deficit divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Without giving effect to any changes in such net tangible book value after May 15, 2019, other than to give effect to the sale of 8,333,333 shares of Preferred Stock being offered by the company in this offering for the net subscription amount of $44,500,00 the pro forma net tangible book value, assuming full subscription, would be $44,252,207. Based on the total number of shares of Common and Preferred Stock that would be outstanding assuming full subscription 24,333,333, that equates to approximately $1.8186 of tangible net book value per share.

 

Thus, if the offering is fully subscribed, the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock owned by our current stockholders will have immediately increased by approximately $1.8341 without any additional investment on their behalf and the net tangible book value per Share for new investors will be immediately diluted by $4.1814 per share. These calculations do not include the costs of the offering, and such expenses will cause further dilution.

 

Offering price per share of Preferred Stock*  $6.00 
Net Tangible Book Value per share of Preferred Stock before the offering (based on 16,000,000 shares)  $(0.0155)
      
Increase in Net Tangible Book Value per Share Attributable to Shares Offered in the offering (based on 8,333,333 shares)  $1.8341 
Net Tangible Book Value per Share after the offering (based on 24,333,333 shares)  $1.8186 
      
Dilution of Net Tangible Book Value per Share to Purchasers in this offering  $4.1814 

 

* before deduction of offering expenses.

 

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 crowdfunding 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 often 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 2014 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.
  · In June 2015, 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.

 

 15 

 

  

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 number of convertible notes that the company has issued (and 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.

As compensation for the services listed above, the company has agreed to pay Sageworks $18,000 in one-time set up fees, consisting of a $10,000 agreement fee and approximately $8,000 for fees to be paid to FINRA, plus a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering once the SEC has qualified the Offering Statement and the offering commences. Assuming that the offering is open for 12 months, the company estimates that total fees due to pay Sageworks would be $518,000 for a fully-subscribed offering. These assumptions were used in estimating the fees due in the “Use of Proceeds.”

Prospective investors who submitted non-binding indications of interest during the “test the waters” period will receive an automated message from us indicating that the offering is open for investment. We will conduct multiple closings on investments (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Each time the company accepts funds transferred from the Escrow Agent is defined as a “Closing." The funds tendered by potential investors will be held by our escrow agent, to be determined (the “Escrow Agent”) and will be transferred to us at each Closing. The escrow agreement can be found in Exhibit 8 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

Process of Subscribing

 

You 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 you are not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, you are investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of your annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding your principal residence).

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

ERC Homebuilders 2, was formed in April 2019 and is intended to become a next generation wholesaler of build-for-rent, single family residences along with ERC Homebuilders 1, both subsidiaries of ERC Homebuilders, Inc. As home ownership continues to drop and more Millennials, Gen-X’er’s and Baby-Boomers want to rent, demand in the rental market for new units is increasing. There is a corresponding demand for such properties by institutional investors. The company plans to target this rising demand for single-family rental properties, and specifically the unmet demand of institutional buyers such as private equity firms, hedge funds and national rental operators by developing and wholesaling Build-For-Rent units, initially in its home state of Florida and expanding to other parts of the country from there.

 

The company will operate under the brand name “ERC Homebuilders 2” and is a subsidiary of ERC Homebuilders, Inc. (“ERC Parent”). ERC Parent was incorporated in 2018 as a successor entity to eRC Investment Properties, LLC which was created in 2011 to develop and operate real property in Florida, but which was not active until mid-2018. ERC Investment Properties LLC was activated in order to commence the build-for-rent program.

 

ERC Parent has formed two operating subsidiaries, ERC Homebuilders 1 and ERC Homebuilders 2, each an “Operating Subsidiary and collectively the “Operating Subsidiaries”). Each Operating Subsidiary will be located in a different region within the United States. The Operating Subsidiaries will be located in the following regions of the United States and will operate under the names listed below:

 

REGION NAME
South Florida ERC Homebuilders 1, Inc.
North Florida ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc.

 

 

 21 

 

  

Principal Products and Services

 

The company’s primary business will be the development of land and construction of Build-For-Rent’s for resale to rental operator companies. It will function as a wholesaler of Build-For-Rent units by building and selling them in “mini-neighborhoods” of 20+ units. These groups of residences may be contiguous to each other or in fragmented groupings that are assembled within a certain geographic area. By packaging and selling 20+ unit bundles, the company plans to meet the needs of large institutional investors and national rental operators who want a relatively easy, quick way to acquire more inventory of rental properties.

 

The company’s business activities will include:

 

  · Building lot acquisition from land developers, banks, home-owners, trusts & estates.

 

  · Independent appraisals to verify existing and completion value.

 

  · Comprehensive design/new construction.

 

  · Re-sale through major brokers and marketplaces such as SVN/SFRhub.

 

The company will oversee independent general contractors for much of its construction, all of whom will perform under fixed-price contracts. All such homes will be “affordable” with average square footage of 1,500, and typically with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In Florida, target monthly rents that the company’s buyers will charge are estimated to range between $1,400 and $1,800.

 

Financing the Development of the Properties

 

The company intends to purchase the land for Phase I Construction with a combination of the following:

 

  · The proceeds of this offering (see “Use of Proceeds”).

  · Funds advanced to ERC Homebuilders 2 by ERC Parent.

  · Mortgage financing provided by banks, private equity funds, lending-REITs and/or other financial institutions.

 

Sourcing the properties

 

The company has engaged various regional and national real estate brokerages to source potential sites. Management members have worked with various real estate brokerages since 2011, certain of which will refer land-sites to ERC Homebuilders 2. As of this date, various land-sites are being identified and studied for possible development, but no definitive acquisition agreements have been executed. In addition, the company may use capital procured under this offering to acquire assets currently owned by eRC Homes, LLC and by eRC Homes Capital, LLC, both companies controlled by the company’s Chairman / CEO and President / COO. All such transactions will be made at the selling entity's cost.

 

Property design, development and construction

 

Management members have worked with various design groups and are currently in discussion with certain of them relative to the types of homes that should be developed on different land-sites. Once land-sites are identified and proposed to Build-For-Rent buyers, design work will commence. Such design work will result in submissions to governmental authorities for building permits, and construction will then commence.

 

Sales of Properties

 

ERC Parent, will advise and guide the management of all of ERC Homebuilders 2’s property design, development, and all sale activities. ERC Homebuilders 2 will directly employ sales personnel. We aim to secure institutional buyers before we break ground on our developments.

Market Sector

 

Build-for-rent Properties

 

The 2008 financial crisis launched one of the largest distressed-buying opportunities in American history. By 2013, major institutional investors were buying homes through poorly disguised subsidiaries. Tens of thousands of homes built for homeowner sale were instead going into rental pools of regional and national rental operators.

 

As these large pools of undervalued homes began to disappear toward the end of the recession, institutional investors began searching around the country for new home product. Today, they have not abandoned their existing home acquisitions; however, they are showing acute interest in amassing large inventories of homes that carry with them the trait – “everything is new.” Build-For-Rents with new finishes and the latest appliances are in high demand, as are replacement properties for renters seeking to trade up.

 

Institutional investors prefer these new Build-For-Rents with standard builder warranty attributes that insulate them from significant operating expenses. With “new” homes, the rental operators can easily predict property taxes and property insurance as their primary, if not sole costs of operation.

 

Cultural and Generational Shifts in Housing

 

In addition to the post-recession impact on the Build-For-Rent market, there is an ongoing cultural/demographic shift impacting the affordable single-family residential sector in the US. There has been strong mid-level employment growth in Florida that has expanded the population and increased demand for rental properties in the company’s initial market.

 

More American families are renting homes now than ever before. . This is a reversal from the Baby-Boomer generation that was dedicated to home ownership as a fundamental part of the “American Dream” between WWII and the end of the century. Baby-Boomers saw homes in the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s rapidly multiply in value. Those growth rates no longer exist in most US regions. Interestingly, many Baby-Boomers are also seeking rentals now.

 

Millennials in many cases don’t have the financial means to purchase a home. They also generally favor renting or leasing items instead of owning them as they are more focused on experiences than material goods. Furthermore, their joint family standard deduction on their annual tax returns of $24,000 competes with the itemized interest and property tax deductions for homes $400,000 or less in price. The lack of opportunity for capital appreciation and the loss of some of the tax deduction benefits are tipping the balance in the rent vs. buy equation.

 

Traditional garden apartments and townhomes have gotten expensive with rents approaching the $1,750 to $2,000 range in most growing Metropolitan Service Areas – especially in the top 20. More and more renters, particularly those who are starting families, are less interested in workout rooms, party rooms and large swimming pools. Instead they are interested in detached living in homes and can achieve that with little or no increase in monthly rental cost.

 

These demographic changes, cultural shifts and new tax laws have led to what the company believes is a “perfect storm” that is driving this 21st century rush into rental housing. In turn, this has stoked acute demand among institutional investors for Build-For-Rent’s and created large opportunities for the company’s offerings.

 

Market Segment Size and Growth

 

Single Family Rental homes are the company’s target market. :

 

•        3.9 million new rental units are forecast for 2016-2020, of which 1.5 million are expected to be homes (Source: US Census and Green Street Advisors).

 

•        9.2% increase in home rental units from 2016-20.

 

•        Total target market is 17.2 million home rental units.

 

Much of this growth is being fueled by the under-supply of rental housing inventory. Purchases of Build For Rent homes to satisfy this demand are being driven by large scale orders and requests for proposals from institutional investors that continue to grow. Current estimates are in the hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in the single-family rental sector over the next five years.

 

Recent market data analysis from John Burns Real Estate Consulting on the single-family rental market analysis and forecast suggests that growth in the rental market remains strong: 

 

 23 

 

  

Fundamentals across the single-family rental (Single Family Rental) sector stayed strong in the 4th quarter of 2018, and are expected to remain so in 2019. Factors fueling Single Family Rental demand include:

 

  · Solid job and income growth across almost all top Single Family Rental markets

 

  · Sluggish for-sale housing backdrop, with buyer hesitancy and affordability headwinds benefitting Single Family Rental

 

  · National occupancy rates hitting a 20-year high of 94% (with REITs even higher at 96%)

 

Nationally, Single Family Rental rents rose 3.3% year-over-year (YOY) in January 2019 per their Burns Single-family Rent IndexTM, relatively unchanged from 3.5% YOY in January 2018.

 

  · Strongest YOY rent growth: Jacksonville, Orlando, and Las Vegas (6%); Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix (all roughly 5%)

 

  · Weakest YOY rent growth: Cincinnati (1%); Miami, Chicago, Raleigh-Durham, Houston, and Indianapolis (all below 3%)

 

Single Family Rental REITs recorded solid demand metrics again in the 4th quarter of 2018, with renewals up 4.7% YOY, new leases up 2.7%, and 96% stabilized occupancy. In addition, AMH recently reported 3.1% YOY same- store blended rent growth in January 2019, while INVH reported 4.3% in January 2019 and 4.7% in February 2019.

 

Home values continue to increase, albeit at a moderated pace. Nationally, home values rose 4.5% YOY in January 2019, down from 6.7% YOY in January 2018.

 

Strongest YOY price appreciation: Las Vegas (+11%), Atlanta and Salt Lake City (+9%) • Weakest YOY price appreciation: Chicago (+1.5%), Denver and Houston (+4%)

 

The report forecast 3% national Single Family Rental rent growth in 2019, driven mainly by a continued backdrop of healthy Single Family Rental supply/demand fundamentals, steady economy, and homeownership affordability headwinds. Acceleration in consumer preferences towards renting also support optimism around Single Family Rental.

 

The consultancy studied interest in homeownership and found that renters between the ages of 53–71 expressed the least interest in homeownership, with 42% of respondents reporting no interest in ever owning a home, up from 23% in 2016. Millenials and Gen-X members are also less interested in owning than in prior years according to their survey.

 

More specifically, the company’s initial target markets in Florida show Millennials wanting a space without having a lot of owner upkeep. Single lot, urban infill is trending along with “Villa Style” units. The first three quarters of 2018 experienced strong growth in a number of Metropolitan Service Areas:

 

Tampa, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Orlando experienced 4% Blended Rate Change (BRC).

 

Ft. Lauderdale, W. Palm Beach, Charlotte and Raleigh-Cary saw 3–4% BRC.

 

In addition to looking at the overall numbers of Build-For-Rent’s and the regional growth percentages, it is instructive to look at the number of Build-For-Rent’s already under management at the large institutional investors seeking more inventory, including the following:

 

300,000 units: Blackstone, Colony and Invitation Homes.

 

250,000 units: American Homes 4 Rent, Progress Residential, Main Street Renewal, Tricon and Front Yard.

 

20,000 units: Amherst Residential.

 

Operations and Market Ecosystem

 

The company has been designed to be very flexible in its operations. It can ramp-up quickly to build out “mini neighborhoods” based on the funding tranches it receives. The company has already identified many good land opportunities in its area of focus in Florida and it is continually talking to potential executives about joining the management team.

   

 24 

 

  

Typical development for a 25-home neighborhood with all-in costs will be approximately $7M. The company can build these in approximately one year.

 

The company plans to start by developing 25+ unit neighborhoods. During its initial 12 months it plans on building 10+ new mini-neighborhoods. The plan is to presell these to institutional investors who will pay by percent completion as construction progresses.

 

There are five major components in the company’s ecosystem:

 

  · Rental tenants are the ultimate consumers who rent these new Build-For-Rent’s. These are typically mid-level employees working at local and regional firms. Not all have college degrees, e.g.: FedEx / UPS drivers, IT workers, mid-level medical workers, retail managers, warehouse managers - not doctors and financial executives. Average age is 35 – 45, with household income averaging $125,000, married with 1-2 children seeking to live in a single-family residence.

 

  · Institutional investors are the company’s real customers. The buyers of Build-For-Rent units are private equity firms, hedge funds, REIT’s and national rental operators who want large volumes of new homes on contiguous land that they can easily market and manage. We believe that they are eager to buy these pre-packaged properties either directly or through brokers in high volumes from 20 -1000 properties.

 

  · SVN/SFRhub is an online marketplace / intermediary for buying and selling Build-For-Rents. It is part of the fifth largest commercial real estate broker in the US (formerly named Sperry Van Ness). SVN/SVRhub operates between the company and the institutional investors buying Build-For-Rent’s. They help match the needs of the institutional buyers with the various inventories coming from the company and other developers. They enable sellers to easily manage property listings for buyers to research, identify, underwrite and transact on investment portfolios that meet their criteria. The company expects that SVN/SFRhub will be the initial sales channel for the company to reach institutional Build-For-Rent buyers.

 

  · The company will buy parcels of land and build single family homes for the Build-For-Rent market. The company will then sell these Build-For-Rents directly to large institutional investors in groups of 20+ houses or indirectly through brokers and marketplaces like SVN/SFRhub. The company will package these Build-For-Rents into groups of contiguous parcels of land in order to facilitate high volume purchases that institutional investors seek. In most cases, larger packages of Build-For-Rents will be easier to sell than smaller ones and the larger the group of homes, the easier they are to sell and the more profitable they are.

 

  · Mortgage brokers and specialized lenders offer loans to developers/builders like the company in order to help finance new construction of these Build-For-Rents. Traditional banks and lending companies like Corevest Financial, Anchor Financial and others offer loans for a broad range of Build-For-Rent developers like ERC Homebuilders.

 

Distribution and Sales

 

SVN/SFRhub.com initially will be the main channel for selling the company’s homes to hedge funds, private equity firms and national rental operators. The company anticipates paying SVN/SFRhub between 1 and 1.5% marketplace fees/commissions. There may be occasional direct sales to national rental operators and direct selling could emerge as another major channel in the future.

 

Competition

 

There are numerous developers competing in the Build-For-Rent space: The Mungo Companies, Bernard Partnership, and T.W. Lewis have all been building Build-For-Rent’s for over a decade. Taylor Morrison is now entering the Build-For-Rent market. Big developers like Lennar and others are likely to pursue this market in time.

 

Some of the leaders in the company’s area are: NexMetro, AHV Communities, BB Living, Christopher Todd Communities and Camillo Homes. For more detail see this article on the Single Family Rental Industry.

 

The company will differentiate itself from these other Build-For-Rent developers in a number of ways. For example, adding Eco Living options will be a great rental tool. In addition to the environmentally friendly positioning that may appeal to renters, it also can lower their costs or allow landlords to increase rents. These could include low e-impact windows, ISO insulation, venting, etc. These can be achieved for as low as $5-8 per square foot and make the home more appealing.

 

The company anticipates the main competition with these companies will be focused on land acquisition. Construction costs are fairly consistent but bidding on parcels of land is likely the main battlefield where the company will encounter its key competition. To that end, the company will employ highly qualified land / entitlement / zoning executives to oversee these tasks.

Support from ERC Parent

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 has entered into a management services agreement with ERC Parent on April 19, 2019 (the “Management Services Agreement”). Under that agreement, ERC Parent will manage ERC Homebuilders 2 and allow ERC Homebuilders to use certain intellectual property and business concepts. ERC Homebuilders 2 will incur direct and indirect capitalized costs and overhead expenses, some of these costs will be exclusive to ERC Homebuilders while other costs will be shared among ERC Homebuilders 2 and the ERC subsidiaries.

 

Direct capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by ERC Homebuilders 2 directly (e.g., salaries, board of director and board of advisor fees, employee benefits, and general administrative costs).

 

Indirect capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by ERC Parent and then reimbursed by ERC Homebuilders 2. Indirect capital costs and overhead expenses that will be exclusive to will be reimburse in full by ERC Homebuilders 2 (e.g., architectural costs, engineering, land, zoning and permitting and other costs directly related to assets belonging to ERC Homebuilders 2).

 

A subsidiary will be responsible for its share of capitalized costs once it has commenced fundraising under Regulation A (an “ERC Active Subsidiary” or “ERC Active Subsidiaries,” as applicable). ERC Parent reserves the right to defer the collection of reimbursements from ERC Homebuilders 2 and other ERC Active Subsidiaries, if, in its sole discretion, it determines that such reimbursements should be shared amongst ERC Homebuilders 2, ERC Active Subsidiaries and any additional subsidiaries.

 

Unless deferred, indirect capitalized costs, will be reimbursed pro-rata based the total number of ERC Active Subsidiaries.

 

Overhead expenses, which will be reported quarterly, will be allocated among the ERC Active Subsidiaries based upon the number of developments. Each parcel of land that an ERC Active Subsidiaries closes on, is considered a development. If an ERC Active Subsidiary has yet to purchase land, that subsidiary will be considered to have one development.

 

The initial term of the agreement is ten years and is automatically renewable. Either party can terminate the agreement by written notice 180 days prior to the end of the current term.

 

For additional information please see the Management Services Agreement, which is an Exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

Further, it is the intent of ERC Parent that ERC Parent will enter into a participating lease agreement (“PLA”) with ERC Homebuilders 2 and any other Operating Subsidiary as needed. For example, in the event that ERC Parent uses capital to assist ERC Homebuilders 2 or any Operating Subsidiary with the acquisition of land and for certain costs related to the entitlement and zoning for such land, ERC Parent will execute a PLA with the applicable Operating Subsidiary. PLAs allow for fixed lease payments plus allocations of revenue, wherein ERC Parent would receive larger lease payments from the applicable Operating Subsidiary in the event revenues increase. ERC Parent intends that the PLAs will allow for payments from the Operating Subsidiary to ERC Parent in amounts that closely approximate what would be ERC Parent’s share of net cash flows based on its pro-rata share of total development costs for the developments owned by the applicable Operating Subsidiary. ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2 have not yet entered into a PLA.

 

Employees

 

The company currently has no employees. Currently, three employees at ERC Parent dedicate all of their time to the company and two employees at ERC Parent spend half of their time working on matters related to ERC Homebuilders 2.

 

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, ERC Parent intends to oversee the development and construction of the second Build-For-Rent single-family home project. During the initial year of development and as the development nears completion, the ERC Parent executives will commence hiring the full-time direct staff that ERC Homebuilder 2 will then employ.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with ERC Parent. We discuss these conflicts below.

 

General

 

ERC Parent is the parent company of ERC Homebuilders 2 and currently holds all of the issued Common Stock of ERC Homebuilders 2. ERC Parent is also affiliated with ERC Homebuilders 1, KGEM, and KGEM’s subsidiaries many if not all of the executives are the same for ERC Parent, ERC Homebuilders 1, ERC Homebuilders 2, KGEM, and KGEM’s subsidiaries.

 

The owners and executives of the company have legal obligations with respect to ERC Parent, ERC Homebuilders 1, Inc., KGEM, and KGEM’s subsidiaries that are similar to their obligations to us. In the future, these persons and other affiliates these companies may organize/acquire for their own account real estate-related or debt-related investment programs. While ERC Parent and the company is not in direct competition with KGEM and KGEM’s subsidiaries since KGEM and its subsidiaries are focusing on developing commercial properties and ERC Homebuilders 2 is focusing on residential developments, there is a chance that certain of KGEM’s acquisitions could have been suitable for us.

 

Allocation of Our Affiliates’ Time

 

ERC Homebuilders 2 relies on ERC Parent’s executive officers and other professionals who act on behalf of ERC Parent, for the day-to-day operation of our business.

 

As a result of the executives competing responsibilities, their obligations to other investors and the fact that they will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time to ERC Homebuilders 2 and other entities and other business activities in which they are involved. However, the company believes that the executive officers and investment professionals have sufficient depth to fully discharge their responsibilities to the company and the other entities for which they work, see “The Company’s Business – Support from ERC Parent.”

 

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by ERC Parent and its Affiliates

 

ERC Parent and its affiliates will receive substantial fees from the company, which fees will not be negotiated at arm’s length. These fees could influence ERC Parent’s advice to the company as well as the judgment of the affiliated executives of ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2 (which are one in the same). For additional information see “The Company’s Business – Support from ERC Parent” for conflicts relating to the payment structure between ERC Parent and ERC Homebuilders 2.

Plan of Operation

Approximate costs per home are as follows:

 

  · purchase the land: up to $50,000

 

  · construction and design of the development: up to $210,000

 

  · architectural and engineering costs: up to $ 10,000

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

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

 

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

 

 31 

 

 

If we become a public reporting company in the future, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

 

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

 

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

 

 32 

 

 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends which shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of the invested amount sum plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. The dividends will be paid monthly

 

In the event the company declares a dividend distribution to the Common Stock holders, all Preferred Stockholders will receive their pro rata share.

 

Liquidation preference.

 

In the event of a liquidation, investors will be entitled to receive the greater of their total investment amount in the shares of Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends or their pro rata percentage of the proceeds calculated based on the number of shares owned by each investor on an “as converted to Common Stock” basis.

 

Conversion.

 

The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock of the company as provided by Section 5 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the Conversion Price (defined therein), as adjusted for any accrued and unpaid dividends, by the original purchase price. The Conversion Price is the original purchase price, adjusted from time to time as described below under “Anti-Dilution Rights”.

 

Holders of the Preferred Stock, may convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock in their sole discretion. In the event of a Qualified Public Offering, as defined in the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation conversion of the Preferred Stock is mandatory.

 

Anti-Dilution Rights

 

Holders of Preferred Stock have the benefit of anti-dilution protective provisions that will be applied to adjust the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock. If equity securities are subsequently issued by the company at a price per share less than the conversion price of the Preferred Stock then in effect, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock will be adjusted using a broad-based, weighted-average adjustment formula as set out in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 

 

These terms generally provide that if the company issues certain additional shares of Common Stock (as detailed in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price will be reduced. The new Conversion Price will be the amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding prior to such issuance (as determined on an as-converted basis) times the Conversion Price then in effect with (B) the consideration, if any, from that issuances by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding prior to such issuance (a determined on an as-converted basis) plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued.

 

 37 

 

  

Other Rights.

 

Holders of ERC Homebuilders 2 Preferred Stock have no preemptive, subscription or other rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to its’ Preferred Stock.

 

All Classes of Stock

 

Forum Selection Provisions.

 

Section VII of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contain exclusive forum provisions. With a few exceptions, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any holder of ERC Homebuilders 2’s Class A and Class B Common Stock (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the company’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine.  These sections shall not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws. 

 

Section 6 of our subscription agreement (which appears as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part) provides that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is 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. 

 

Jury Trial Waiver 

 

The Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is a non-jury trial court. The parties in any lawsuits where the forum selection provisions are applicable will not be entitled to a jury.

 

Moreover, holders of Shares of Class A Preferred Stock as well as holders of Class A Common Stock converted from Class A Preferred Stock will be bound by the subscription agreement, which provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

 

 38 

 

 

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The company will be taxed as a corporation under the U.S. Federal Tax Code. As such, the company will be subject to federal income tax on its profits and losses prior to dividends being paid to investors. The dividends will likely be treated as a corporate distribution on equity. Corporate distributions on equity are not deductible to the corporation but are generally taxable to the shareholder, subject to various exceptions and limitations.

 

The distributions made pursuant to the Preferred Stock dividend provisions will be taxable as dividends to shareholders only to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent the company does not have current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s adjusted basis. If distributions still exceed the amount of adjusted basis, such excess would be considered as capital gains income to the shareholder, who will generally be subject to federal (and possibly State) income tax on such gains at a rate that depends upon the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the shares in question, among other factors. Since the tax treatment of any distributions may vary according to the financial performance of the company, as well as the particular circumstances of the investor, investors should consult their own tax advisers, and should further not assume that the distributions will be subject to the same tax treatment from year to year.

 

These amounts will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV each year as part of their investment reporting package.

 

Investors are advised to consult their financial and tax advisers to determine if an investment in the company makes sense for their specific financial and tax situation.

   

 39 

 

  

ONGOING REPORTING AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

We will be required to make annual and semi-annual filings with the SEC. We will make annual filings on Form 1-K, which will be due by the end of April each year and will include audited financial statements for the previous fiscal year. We will make semi-annual filings on Form 1-SA, which will be due by September 28 each year, which will include unaudited financial statements for the six months to June 30. We will also file a Form 1-U to announce important events such as the loss of a senior officer, a change in auditors or certain types of capital-raising. We will be required to keep making these reports unless we file a Form 1-Z to exit the reporting system, which we will only be able to do if we have less than 300 shareholders of record and have filed at least one Form 1-K.

 

We may supplement the information in this Offering Circular by filing a Supplement with the SEC.

 

All these filings will be available on the SEC’s EDGAR filing system. You should read all the available information before investing

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

May 24, 2019

 

To:Board of Directors, ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc.

Attn: Gerald D. Ellenburg,

 

Re:2019 (inception) Financial Statement Audit

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc. (a corporation organized in Delaware) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of May 15, 2019, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period of April 16, 2019 (inception) and ending May 15, 2019, 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-3 

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 15, 2019, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the period April 16, 2019 (inception) through May 15, 2019 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

As discussed in the Notes and Additional Disclosures, certain conditions indicate the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified with respect to that matter.

 

Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of May 15, 2019

See accompanying Auditors’ Report

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

ERC Homebuilders 2, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an early stage company devoted to the development of residential real estate in the the United States.

 

The Company incorporated on April 16, 2019 in the state of Delaware.

 

Since Inception, the Company has relied on advances from an affiliate to fund its operations. As of May 15, 2019, the Company had little working capital and will likely incur 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 12 months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from a securities offering campaign (see Note 8) and funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional short-term 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 ("GAAP"). The Company has adopted December 31 as the year end for reporting purposes.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. 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. As of May 15, 2019, the Company is operating as a going concern.

 

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 currency held in the Company’s checking account. As of May 15, 2019, the Company had $160 in a corporate checking account.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring payment before services are rendered. 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 invoice. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customer. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and it has not experienced significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances. As of May 15, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding accounts receivable.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are 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 expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

 F-9 

 

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets. As of May 15, 2019, the Company had recorded no depreciation.

 

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 May 15, 2019, the Company had no fixed assets.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10.  The Deferred Offering Costs of the Company consist solely of legal and other fees incurred in connection with the capital raising efforts of the Company.  Under ASC 340-10, costs incurred are capitalized until the offering whereupon the offering costs are charged to members’ equity or expensed depending on whether the offering is successful or not successful, respectively. As of May 15, 2019, the Company had recorded a balance of deferred offering costs of $21,902.

 

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, cryptocurrency valuation 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 the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company is taxed as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As the Company has recently been formed, no material tax provision exists as of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of May 15, 2019, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero.

 

The Company is current with its foreign, US federal and state income tax filing obligations and is not currently under examination from any taxing authority.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

Organizational Costs

In accordance with FASB ASC 720, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

 

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.

 

 F-10 

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard for nonpublic entities will be effective after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” ASU 2016-15 provides classification guidance for certain cash receipts and cash payments including payment of debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, insurance claim payments and distributions from equity method investees. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its 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 balance sheet.

 

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

As described above, the Company was recently formed and has only incurred costs of its start-up operations and capital raising. As such, no material tax provision yet exists.

 

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

Company is not currently involved with and does not know of any pending or threatening litigation against the Company or founders.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMON EQUITY

 

The Company has issued 16,000,000 shares to its parent company, at par, in exchange for $160. The Company currently has only a single class of common stock.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has received working capital to cover expenses and costs while preparing for the securities offering from an affiliate company in the amount of $269,855 as of the balance sheet date. The balance of these covered costs are recorded as a liability of the Company.

 

As these are agreements between related parties, there is no guarantee that these rates or costs are commensurate with an arm’s-length arrangement.

 

 F-11 

 

 

NOTE 7 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operation in 2019 and has limited operating history. The Company’s ability to continue is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional funds (see Note 8) and achieve and sustain profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Securities Offering

The Company is offering shares of common equity in a securities offering planned to be exempt from SEC registration under Regulation A, tier 2. The Company has engaged with various advisors and other professionals to facilitate the offering who are being paid customary fees and equity interests for their work.

 

Management’s Evaluation

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 24, 2019, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  Based on this evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

C.Preferred Stock.

 

1.            General. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The Board is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, as applicable, may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or series thereof, as applicable, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock.

2.            Dividends.

 

2.1          Accrual and Payment of Dividends. From and after the date on which the Corporation initially issues such share of Class A Preferred Stock (without regard to any subsequent transfer of such share or reissuance of the certificate(s) representing such share) (the “Date of Issuance”) of any Class A Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends on such share shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. All accrued dividends on any share shall be paid in cash only when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor or upon a liquidation or redemption of the Class A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 3; provided, that to the extent not paid on the last day of each calendar month of each calendar year (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”), all accrued dividends on any share shall accumulate and compound on the applicable Dividend Payment Date whether or not declared by the Board and shall remain accumulated, compounding dividends until paid pursuant hereto or converted pursuant to Section 5. All accrued and accumulated dividends on the shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be prior and in preference to any dividend on any share of Common Stock and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions or redemptions are made, on any share of Common Stock, other than to (a) declare or pay any dividend or distribution payable on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (b) repurchase Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase. “Liquidation Value” means the original purchase price of the Class A Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transaction) with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock.)

 

2.2           Participating Dividends. Subject to Section 2.1, in addition to the dividends accruing on the Class A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, if the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, whether such dividend or distribution is payable in cash, securities or other property, including the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or property, but excluding (i) any dividend or distribution payable on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock and (ii) any repurchases of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase, the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Class A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all shares of Class A Preferred Stock had been converted pursuant to Section 5 as of immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend (or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined).

 

2.3          Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued and accumulated with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued and accumulated but unpaid dividends on the shares of Class A Preferred Stock held by each such holder.

3.             Liquidation.

 

Liquidation; Deemed Liquidation.

 

(a)       Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (collectively with a Deemed Liquidation, a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Class A Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends on all such shares (whether or not declared) or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation (or Deemed Liquidation).

 

(b)       Deemed Liquidation. The occurrence of a Change of Control (such event, a “Deemed Liquidation”) shall be deemed a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 3. Upon the consummation of any such Deemed Liquidation, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall, in consideration for cancellation of their shares of Class A Preferred Stock, be entitled to the same rights such holders are entitled to under this Section 3 upon the occurrence of a Liquidation, including the right to receive the full preferential payment from the Corporation of the amounts payable with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock under Section 3.1(a) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.1(b) shall limit in any respect the right of any holder of Class A Preferred Stock to elect the benefits of either this Section 3 or Section 5.4(f) in connection with any Change of Control. “Change of Control” means (a) any sale, lease or transfer or series of sales, leases or transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (b) any sale, transfer or issuance (or series of sales, transfers or issuances) of capital stock by the Corporation or the holders of Common Stock (or other voting stock of the Corporation) that results in the inability of the holders of Common Stock (or other voting stock of the Corporation) immediately prior to such sale, transfer or issuance to designate or elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of the Corporation; or (c) any merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Corporation with or into another Person (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving corporation) that results in the inability of the holders of Common Stock (or other voting stock of the Corporation) immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization to designate or elect a majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of the resulting entity or its parent company.

 

(c)       Deemed Liquidation Procedures. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Corporation shall take such actions as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of Section 3.1(b), including, without limitation, (i) in the case of a Change of Control structured as a merger, consolidation or similar reorganization, causing the definitive agreement relating to such transaction to provide for a rate at which the shares of Class A Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for cash, new securities or other property, or (ii) in the case of a Change of Control structured as an asset sale, as promptly as practicable following such transaction, either dissolving the Corporation and distributing the assets of the Corporation in accordance with applicable law or redeeming all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and, in the case of both (i) and (ii), giving effect to the preferences and priorities set forth in this Section 5. The Corporation shall promptly provide to the holders of shares of Class A Preferred Stock such information concerning the terms of such Change of Control, and the value of the assets of the Corporation as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Class A Preferred Stock.

3.1       Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of Liquidation (or Deemed Liquidation), after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock as provided in Section 3(a), the remaining funds and assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

 

3.2       Insufficient Assets. If upon any Liquidation (or Deemed Liquidation) the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are entitled under this Section 3, (a) the holders of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Class A Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation (or Deemed Liquidation) if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of Common Stock.

 

3.3       Notice. Notice Requirement. In the event of any Liquidation (or Deemed Liquidation), the Corporation shall, within 10 days of the date the Board approves such action, or no later than 20 days of any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within 20 days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the holders of shares of Class A Preferred Stock upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each holder of such shares of such material change.

 

4.            Voting. Each holder of outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote with holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, by written action of stockholders in lieu of a meeting or otherwise), except as provided by law. In any such vote, each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the share of Class A Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Section 5 herein as of the record date for such vote or written consent or, if there is no specified record date, as of the date of such vote or written consent. Each holder of outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings (or requests for written consent) in accordance with the Corporation’s bylaws.

Conversion.

 



5.1Right to Convert; Automatic Conversion.

 

(a)       Right to Convert. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, at any time and from time to time on or after the Date of Issuance, any holder of Class A Preferred Stock shall have the right by written election to the Corporation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of a share) held by such holder along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon into an aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including any fraction of a share) as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of such shares) to be converted by the Liquidation Value thereof, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. The initial conversion price per share of Class A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the Liquidation Value of such share, subject to adjustment as applicable in accordance with Section 5.4 below.

 

(b)       Automatic Conversion. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, in connection with, and on the closing of, a Qualified Public Offering by the Corporation, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of such shares) held by stockholders shall automatically convert along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon into an aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including any fraction of a share) as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock (including any fraction of such shares) to be converted by the Liquidation Value thereof, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect. If a closing of a Qualified Public Offering occurs, such automatic conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as of immediately prior to such closing. “Qualified Public Offering” means the sale, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering led by a nationally recognized underwriting firm pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, of Common Stock of the Corporation having an aggregate offering value (net of underwriters’ discounts and selling commissions) of at least $25 million following which at least 20% of the total Common Stock of the Corporation on a fully diluted, as-converted basis shall have been sold to the public and shall be listed on any national securities exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 6(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.

 

(c)       Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of shares of Class A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1(a), a holder shall (a) submit a written election to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert shares of Class A Preferred Stock, the number of such shares elected to be converted and (b) (if such shares are certificated), along with such written election, surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. The conversion of such shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Class A Preferred Stock certificate or certificates, delivery of such affidavit of loss or the written election to convert for uncertificated shares. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election and, if applicable, the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 10 days thereafter) either (a) deliver to the relevant holder (i) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including any fractional share) to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares as calculated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and, if applicable (ii) a certificate in such holder’s (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock (including any fractional share) represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election or (b) note the conversion of the shares on the stock ledger of the Corporation. All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

(d)           Procedures for Automatic Conversion. As of the closing of a Qualified Public Offering all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be converted to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 5.1(b) without any further action by the relevant holder of such shares or the Corporation. As promptly as practicable following such Qualified Public Offering (but in any event within five (5) days thereafter), the Corporation shall send each holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock written notice of such event. Upon receipt of such notice, if applicable, each holder shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. Upon the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 10 days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (including any fractional share) to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares or note the conversion of the shares on the stock ledger of the Corporation. All shares of Class A Common Stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

(e)          Effect of Conversion. All shares of Class A Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 5.1 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Class A Common Stock and payment in lieu of any fraction of a share of Class A Preferred Stock in exchange therefor.

 

5.2           Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times when any shares of Class A Preferred Stock is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Class A Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock.

5.3           No Charge or Payment. The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the holder in respect thereof.

 

5.4           Adjustment to Conversion Price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation then issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 5 (the “Conversion Shares”). In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 5, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5.4.

 

(a)           Adjustment to Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 5.4(c) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 5.4(e) or Section 5.4(f), if the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 5.4(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Conversion Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(i)           the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Conversion Price then in effect plus (B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by

 

(ii)           the sum of (A) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Corporation in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).

 

Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” means, at any given time, the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding at such time, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options actually outstanding at such time, plus (c) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities actually outstanding at such time (treating as actually outstanding any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of options actually outstanding at such time), in each case, regardless of whether the options or convertible securities are actually exercisable at such time; provided, that Common Stock Deemed Outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Whenever following the Date of Issuance, the Corporation shall issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 5.4(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall prepare a certificate signed by an executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the number of shares issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, the amount and the form of the consideration received by the Corporation and the method of computation of such amount and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to the holders of record of Class A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder).

 

 10 

 

 

(b)           Adjustment to Number of Conversion Shares Upon Adjustment to Conversion Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided in Section 5.4(a), the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

(i)            the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment; by

 

(ii)           the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(c)           Exceptions to Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock with respect to any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with Section 5.4(d)) by the Corporation after the Date of Issuance of: (a) shares of Class A Common Stock issued on the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock or Class B Common Stock; (b) shares of Common Stock (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and recapitalizations) issued directly or upon the exercise of options to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Corporation in connection with their service as directors of the Corporation, their employment by the Corporation or their retention as consultants by the Corporation, in each case authorized by the Board and issued pursuant to the Corporation’s equity incentive plan (including all such shares of Common Stock and options outstanding prior to the Date of Issuance); or (c) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of options (other than options covered by clause (b) above) or convertible securities issued prior to the Date of Issuance, provided that such securities are not amended after the date hereof to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof (“Excluded Issuance”).

 

(d)           Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 5.4(a) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i)            Issuance of Options. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any options, whether or not such options or the right to convert or exchange any convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 5.4(d)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such options or upon the conversion or exchange of convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such options is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price under Section 5.4(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 5.4(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of all such options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such options, plus (z), in the case of such options which relate to convertible securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of all such convertible securities and the conversion or exchange of all such convertible securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such options or upon the conversion or exchange of all convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of all such options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(d)(iii), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of convertible securities upon exercise of such options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities issuable upon exercise of such options.

 

(ii)           Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any convertible securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such convertible securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 5.4(d)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such convertible securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such convertible securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such convertible securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5.4(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 5.4(a)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such convertible securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of all such convertible securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such convertible securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(d)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities and (B) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of convertible securities upon exercise of any options to purchase any such convertible securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 5.4(d).

 

 12 

 

 

(iii)          Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of any options or convertible securities referred to in Section 5.4(d)(i) or Section 5.4(d)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities referred to in Section 5.4(d)(i) or Section 5.4(d)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which convertible securities referred to in Section 5.4(d)(i) or Section 5.4(d)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any options referred to in Section 5.4(d)(i) hereof or any convertible securities referred to in Section 5.4(d)(ii) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such options or convertible securities resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5.4) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4 had such options or convertible securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4(b).

 

(iv)         Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged convertible security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 5.4 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such option or convertible security by the Corporation), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4 to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged convertible security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

 13 

 

 

(v)           Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 5.4(d), any shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Corporation therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board and a not less than one-half of the then total outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock.

 

(vi)          Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 5.4, in case the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, options or convertible securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, options or convertible securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(vii)         Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 5.4.

 

(e)          Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in options or convertible securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 5.4(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

 14 

 

 

(f)            Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Corporation, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 5.4(e)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Corporation or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to such holder’s rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Class A Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Class A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares acquirable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 5.4(f) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Incorporation, the obligation to deliver to the holders of Class A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5.4(f), each holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) (if applicable to such event or transaction) or Section 5 hereunder, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 5.4(f) with respect to such holder’s Class A Preferred Stock.

 

 15 

 

 

(g)           Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of shares of Class A Preferred Stock so as to protect the rights of the holder of such shares in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 5; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.

 

(h)           Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(i)            As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than 30 days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Class A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(ii)           As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any holder of Class A Preferred Stock, but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable to such holder upon conversion of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

(i)            Notices. In the event:

 

(i)            that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;

 

(ii)           of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person; or

 

 16 

 

 

(iii)          of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation; then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Class A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Class A Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares.

 

6.            Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Class A Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Class A Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

7.            Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article IV to be given to a holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the DGCL, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

 

ARTICLE V

 

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the state of Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized to make, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

(A)          To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, 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.

 

(B)          The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

 

 17 

 

 

(C)          Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VI in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article VI, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

CORPORATE OFFICES

 

1.1Offices

 

In addition to the corporation’s registered office set forth in the certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.

 

ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

2.1Place Of Meetings

 

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the state of Delaware, designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the registered office of the corporation.

 

2.2Annual Meeting

 

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date, time and place, either within or without the state of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors each year. At the meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

 

2.3Special Meeting

 

A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

 

-1-

  

 

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer or the president, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by email, fax, telegraphic or other facsimile or electronic transmission to the chairperson of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or the secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within 20 days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

 

2.4Notice Of Stockholders’ Meetings

 

All notices of meetings with stockholders shall be in writing and shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place (if any), date and hour of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

 

2.5Manner Of Giving Notice; Affidavit Of Notice

 

Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic mail or other electronic transmission, in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

2.6Quorum

 

The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairperson of the meeting or (b) holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting to another place (if any), date or time.

 

2.7Adjourned Meeting; Notice

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another place (if any), date or time, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place (if any), thereof and the means of remote communications (if any) by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place (if any), date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications (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 to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.8Organization; Conduct Of Business

 

Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the chief executive officer, or in his or her absence, the president or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairperson of the meeting. In the absence of the secretary of the corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairperson of the meeting appoints.

 

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The date and time of opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

 

2.9Voting

 

The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

 

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.

 

2.10Waiver Of Notice

 

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice, or any waiver of notice by electronic transmission, unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is (a) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and (b) delivered to the corporation in accordance with Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the date the earliest dated consent is delivered to the corporation, a written consent or consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section. A telegram, cablegram, electronic mail or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this Section to the extent permitted by law. Any such consent shall be delivered in accordance with Section 228(d)(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

 

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing (including by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law). If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the Delaware General Corporation Law if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

2.12Record Date For Stockholder Notice; Voting; Giving Consents

 

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which 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.

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a)          The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b)          The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent (including consent by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law) is delivered to the corporation.

 

(c)          The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, if such adjournment is for 30 days or less; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

2.13Proxies

 

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by an instrument in writing or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, facsimile, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

3.2Number Of Directors

 

(a)          The total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors (the “Number of Authorized Directors”) shall be fixed or changed in the manner provided in these bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the Number of Authorized Directors, in which case the Number of Authorized Directors shall be changed only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation.

 

-5-

  

 

(b)          Subject to Section 3.4 of these bylaws, the Number of Authorized Directors may be fixed or changed: (i) by a resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders, or (ii) if applicable, by action of the incorporator(s) (which includes any person(s) acting, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, on behalf of any incorporator(s) not available to act) before the election of the initial Board of Directors. No reduction of the Number of Authorized Directors shall have the effect of removing any director before such director’s term of office expires.

 

(c)          If the Number of Authorized Directors is already fixed (whether by the certificate of incorporation, resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders, action of the incorporators(s) before the election of the initial Board of Directors, or otherwise in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law) at the time the adoption of these bylaws is effective (the “Effective Time”), then the Number of Authorized Directors, until changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is such already fixed Number of Authorized Directors.

 

(d)          If the Number of Authorized Directors is not already fixed at the Effective Time, then: (i) if there are directors in office at the Effective Time, the Number of Authorized Directors, until changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is the total number of directors in office at the Effective Time, or (ii) if there are no directors in office at the Effective Time, the Number of Authorized Directors, until fixed or changed in accordance with this Section 3.2, is the total number of directors on the Board of Directors as first constituted following the Effective Time (whether such directors are elected by resolution of the stockholders, action of the incorporators(s) before the election of the initial Board of Directors, or otherwise in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law).

 

3.3Election, Qualification And Term Of Office Of Directors

 

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, and unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, wherein other qualifications for directors may be prescribed.

Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation.

-6-

  

 

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as far as applicable.

 

3.5Place Of Meetings; Meetings By Telephone

 

The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the state of Delaware.

If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least 4 days before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is delivered personally or by facsimile, electronic transmission, telephone or telegram, it shall be delivered at least 24 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting, if the meeting is to be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Unless otherwise indicated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting.

At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the total number of directors then in office (but in no case less than 1/3 of the Number of Authorized Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 of these bylaws)) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

 

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

 

3.9Waiver Of Notice

 

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

 

3.10Board Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting

 

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

 

3.13Removal Of Directors

 

Unless otherwise restricted by statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent; provided, however, that if the stockholders of the corporation are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire Board of Directors is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors.

 

No reduction of the Number of Authorized Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 of these bylaws) shall have the effect of removing any director before such director’s term of office expires.

6.2Indemnification Of Others

 

The corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to indemnify each of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation.

 

For purposes of this Section 6.2, an “employee” or “agent” of the corporation (other than a director or officer) includes any person (a) who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (c) who was an employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

 

6.3Payment Of Expenses In Advance

 

Expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 6.1 or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 following authorization thereof by the Board of Directors shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article VI.

The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the certificate of incorporation.

GENERAL MATTERS

 

8.1Checks

 

From time to time, the Board of Directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

 

8.2Execution Of Corporate Contracts And Instruments

 

The Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

 

8.3Stock Certificates and Notices; Uncertificated Stock; Partly Paid Shares

 

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

 

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock and upon the request of a stockholder, the corporation shall send to the record owner thereof a written notice that shall set forth the name of the corporation, that the corporation is organized under the laws of Delaware, the name of the stockholder, the number and class (and the designation of the series, if any) of the shares, and any restrictions on the transfer or registration of such shares of stock imposed by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, any agreement among stockholders or any agreement between stockholders and the corporation.

 

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 face or back of each stock certificate (if any) issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. 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.

8.4Special Designation On Certificates and Notices of Issuance

 

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

 

8.5Lost Certificates

 

Except as provided in this Section 8.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or notice of uncertificated stock in the place of any certificate previously issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

 

8.6Construction; Definitions

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes both a corporation and a natural person.

 

8.7Dividends

 

The directors of the corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in (a) the Delaware General Corporation Law or (b) the certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock. The directors of the corporation may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies.

8.8Fiscal Year

 

The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and may be changed by the Board of Directors.

 

8.9Transfer Of Stock

 

Upon receipt by the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of proper transfer instructions from the record holder of uncertificated shares or upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate or, in the case of uncertificated securities and upon request, a notice of issuance of shares, to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate (if any) and record the transaction in its books.

 

8.10Stock Transfer Agreements

 

The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

8.11Stockholders Of Record

 

The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person recorded on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person recorded on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

 

8.12Facsimile Or Electronic Signatures

 

In addition to the provisions for use of facsimile or electronic signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile or electronic signatures of any stockholder, director or officer of the corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof.

 

ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS

 

The Bylaws of the corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.

Manhattan Street Capital

Reg A+ Engagement Agreement

 

  Effective Date: July 15, 2018
ERC Homebuilders, Inc  
2738 Falkenburg Road South  
Riverview, FL 33578  
USA  

 

Re: Advisory, Technology and Administrative Services

 

This agreement (this “Agreement”) will confirm the arrangements under which FundAthena, Inc., DBA Manhattan Street Capital, Inc. (“MSC”) and ERC Homebuilders, Inc., a Delaware C corporation, and its present and future subsidiaries (collectively, the “Client”), to act as the Client’s advisor in connection with a possible Financing (as defined below) and the Client’s use of MSC’s proprietary technology platform (the “MSC Platform”).

 

1. Retention. During the term of this engagement, and as mutually agreed upon by MSC and the Client, MSC shall provide Client with advice, technology, administrative services and assistance with and introductions to resources needed to conduct between one and two parallel offering(s) under Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, (any of the foregoing, a “Financing”). Client agrees to be bound by the MSC Platform standard terms and conditions, (the “Platform Terms”) which can be found at (http://www.manhattanstreetcapital.com/terms). Access to the MSC Platform will not be provided without Client’s acceptance of the Platform Terms.

 

2. Cooperation. The Client shall furnish MSC and/or upload to the MSC Platform all current and historical materials and information regarding the business and financial condition of the Client relevant to the Financing, and all other information and data, and access to the Client’s officers, directors, employees and professional advisors, which MSC reasonably requests in connection with MSC’s activities hereunder. All such materials, information and data shall, to the Client’s knowledge, not include any misleading statements of a material fact, in light of the circumstances in which such statements are made. The Client agrees to promptly advise MSC of all developments materially affecting the Client, any proposed Financing or the completeness or accuracy of the information previously furnished to MSC, and agrees that no material initiatives relating to the proposed Financing will be taken without MSC having been consulted in advance thereof.

 

3. Compensation. The Client agrees to promptly pay MSC the following fees with respect to each Financing (the “Fees”):

 

a) Advisory retainer fee of $15,000 per month and the same value in ten-year cashless exercise warrants for ERC Homebuilders Common Stock priced at $0.25, the cash fee to be paid in advance for a 9 month period from the Effective Date, warrant agreement will be delivered to MSC prior to the first Financing going live to investors. Reasonable direct expenses incurred by MSC on behalf of Client will be reimbursed by Client. These fees and reimbursements are not contingent on success of any Financing. This discounted fee is based on the intent of Client to make multiple Regulation A offerings that are substantially identical simultaneously. In the event that a significantly different schedule for the related Financings occurs, MSC and Client will negotiate an amended consulting fee arrangement in good faith to pay MSC for the increased costs and effort involved.

 

 

 

 

b) MSC technology admin and service fee in the sum of (i) $25 per investor, plus (ii) cashless ten year warrants to purchase 100 shares of ERC Homebuilders Common Stock for the price of $0.25 per share per investor in each Financing for up to a maximum of 30,000 investors as aggregated from two (2) Financings – this maximum only applies to the warrant fee. The $25 per investor and warrant fee is constant regardless of the investment amount from each investor, and it is not dependent on the total size of the capital raise. It is paid once per investor. This fee is an obligation of the Client regardless of the success of the Financing. For purposes of calculating this fee, an investor is defined as any person or entity that deposits money into escrow through the MSC investment interface as part of the Financing. The fee is still payable if such investor is rejected after AML and their money is returned.

 

The cash MSC fee will be invoiced weekly by MSC. The cash payment will be due for payment Net 10. MSC technology admin and service fee warrants will be delivered upon completion of each Financing.

 

It is expressly understood that a separate Fee shall be payable in respect of each Financing in the event that more than two Financings occur. The parties acknowledge that MSC fees above do not include back-end payment processing fees, escrow, transfer agent, AML check, Accreditation Verification, broker-dealer or marketing agency fees or marketing costs.

 

c) The parties acknowledge that Client at its own initiative chose to offer MSC the option to purchase common stock in ERC Homebuilders, Inc. at par in the amount of 1 million shares. MSC accepted the offer and purchased these shares on October 17, 2018. Such shares are not the subject of the fee arrangements set out above.

 

4.  Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that, in the course of evaluating the Financing and, it (the “Receiving Party”) may obtain information relating to the other party’s business (the “Disclosing Party”) (all such information the “Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall belong solely to the Disclosing Party. For sake of clarity, information is considered Confidential Information for so long as it has not been made known to the general public by the Disclosing Party or through the rightful actions of a third party, and for so long as the information holds value, as reasonably determined by the Disclosing Party, by virtue of remaining confidential. During the Term and after its termination, the Receiving Party: (a) shall not use, other than as required for the Financing, or disclose Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, or unless such Confidential Information becomes part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party, its officers, directors, employees or agents; (b) agrees to take all reasonable measures to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, but not less than those it takes to safeguard its own confidential information; and (c) will disclose the Confidential Information only to those of its employees and consultants as are necessary for the uses licensed hereunder and are bound by obligations of confidentiality. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information, as requested by the Disclosing Party.

 

5.  Termination.

 

The agreement has a term of 12 months from execution. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the obligations set forth in Sections 3 through 4 and 7-9 (inclusive), shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

6.  Exclusivity. During the term of this Agreement, the Client will not, and will not permit any security holder, affiliate, advisor or representative of the Client to engage any other party to perform any services or act in any capacity which is related, to the Financing without the prior written approval of MSC. This exclusion does not apply to Broker-dealers or underwriters.

 

7.  Indemnification. Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MSC and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and agents, and any other persons controlling MSC or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (or any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, related to or arising out of or in connection with MSC services (whether occurring before, at or after the date hereof) under the Agreement, the Financing or any proposed Financing contemplated by the Agreement or any Indemnified Person’s role in connection therewith (“Losses”), provided, however, that the Client shall not be responsible for any Losses that arise out of or are based on any action of or failure to act by MSC to the extent such Losses are determined, by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court, to have resulted primarily and directly from MSC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

8.  Limitation on Liability.

 

EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 3 OR CLIENT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM OR LIABILITY IS BASED UPON ANY CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY.

 

EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 3 OR CLIENT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID TO MSC. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL FINANCING OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

 

9.   Independent Contractor. The Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) MSC will act as an independent contractor hereunder, its responsibility is solely owed to the Client and contractual in nature, and MSC does not owe the Client, or any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any securityholders, affiliates, creditors or employees of the Client), any fiduciary or similar duty as a result of its engagement hereunder or otherwise; (ii) MSC and its affiliates will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the actions taken, omissions of or advice given by other parties who are providing services to the Client; (iii) MSC is not an advisor as to legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; (iv) the Client has consulted, and will consult, as appropriate, with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of this Agreement and the Financings contemplated hereby, and that MSC and its affiliates shall have no responsibility or liability with respect thereto; and (v) the Client is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Financings and the fees payable in connection therewith and that it understands and accepts the terms, conditions, and risks of such Financings and fees.

 

 

 

 

10.  Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware and all claims shall be exclusively commenced in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that if Client agrees to the Platform Terms, the Platform Terms shall govern Client’s use of the MSC Platform and to the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Platform Terms, the Platform Terms shall control. This Agreement may not be assigned by Client hereto without the prior written consent of MSC. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement made without such consent shall be void and of no effect. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Client and MSC. If any provision hereof shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect, or against public policy, such determination shall not affect such provision in any other respect nor any other provision hereof. Headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in facsimile or other electronic counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same document. This Agreement has been reviewed by each of the signatories hereto and its counsel. There shall be no construction of any provision against MSC because this Agreement was drafted by MSC, and the parties waive any statute or rule of law to such effect.

 

Please sign below and return to MSC to indicate the Client’s acceptance of the terms set forth herein, and once executed by each of MSC and the Client, this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement between the Client and MSC as of the date first written above.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals are hereby incorporated in and made a part of the Agreement.

a)Manager may negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of ERCHB2 such agreements, certificates, deeds, deeds of trust, notes, mortgages, leases, security agreements, contracts of sale, and other documents as it deems necessary and appropriate in its sole discretion to give effect to any conveyances, leases, debt obligations and security therefore, and to procure real estate, labor, materials, or services including, without limitation, the services of professionals.

 

  

 

 

b)Manager shall determine and implement all personnel policies relating to ERCHB2’s locations, including policies and practices relating to terms and conditions of employment, screening, selection, training, supervision, compensation, bonuses, benefit plans, discipline, discharge, and replacement for all personnel.

 

c)Manager shall purchase the following insurance on behalf of ERCHB2 as necessary in Manager’s sole discretion: (i) property insurance on contents as well as improvements and betterments, if necessary; (ii) general liability insurance for premises and operations; (iii) workers compensation and employer’s liability insurance; (iv) hired and non-owned automobile liability insurance; (v) umbrella liability insurance policies; (vi) directors and officers liability insurance; and (vii) group medical, life, accidental death and dismemberment and long-term disability insurance for ERCHB2 employees in accordance with the human resources policies developed by Manager.

 

d)Manager shall prepare such budgets and periodic reports for ERCHB2 as it deems necessary and appropriate, and Manager shall provide such budgets and reports to the shareholders of ERCHB2. If ERCHB2 is required to have an annual audit, Manager shall coordinate such audit at ERCHB2’s expense.

 

e)Manager shall coordinate, at ERCHB2’s expense, the timely filing of all tax returns required under applicable state and federal laws.

 

f)Manager shall hold meetings of directors and shareholders in person or via conference call as necessary or required, or may request that action be taken by written consent; provided, however, that Manager shall act in accordance with the ERCHB2’s Bylaws and applicable laws and regulations in doing so.

 

g)Manager shall license to ERCHB2 the intellectual property and business concepts and design necessary to develop single-family home communities and multi-family home communities for lease or sale on the locations ERCHB2 acquires. ERCHB2 will receive a nonexclusive license for all intellectual property rights needed for such business for no charge, or if a charge is required, then at a nominal charge from Manager; provided, however, any intellectual property or business concept expenses related to the acquisition, creation, or development of such intellectual property, including but not limited to the name, interior design of locations, architecture, or staff training, shall be paid by Manager and allocated to the managed corporations pursuant to Section 5 below.

 

h)Manager may perform all other acts as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct ERCHB2’s business, subject to all conditions and limitations set forth in the ERCHB2’s Bylaws.

 

4.            Term and Termination. The initial term of this Agreement is ten (10) years, which shall automatically renew for additional ten (10) year terms. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement with written notice at least 180 days prior to the end of the current term.

 

5.            Management Reimbursement Expenses. ERCHB2 shall pay Manager a monthly management expense reimbursement payment (“Management Payment”) in United States Dollars at the place for giving of notice to Manager, or to such other place as Manager shall designate, that shall be due and payable on the 30th day after the end of the each respective month. The Management Payment is calculated as follows:

 

Page 2 of 4  

 

 

a)ERCHB2 will incur direct and indirect capitalized costs and overhead expenses. Direct capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by ERCHB2 directly, but indirect capital costs and overhead expenses will be paid by Manager and then reimbursed by ERCHB2, as follows:

 

i.Capitalized costs that are exclusive to ERCHB2 and paid by Manager will be reimbursed in full by ERCHB2. Such costs would include architectural, engineering, land, zoning and other costs directly related to assets belonging to ERCHB2.

 

ii.Capitalized costs that are to be shared amongst ERCHB2 and other active subsidiaries managed by Manager will be reimbursed pro-rata based upon the number of active subsidiaries (an active subsidiary is defined as one that has received SEC Qualification for its Reg A Plus offering and has commenced fundraising. Thereafter it is considered active). Manager reserves the right to defer the collection of reimbursements from ERCHB2 and / or other subsidiaries, if it determines that such reimbursements should be shared amongst more or all of its planned subsidiaries. Such costs would include concept design common to all of Manager’s subsidiaries, intellectual properties, technology and other costs related to all of Manager’s subsidiaries and their assets.

 

b)Overhead expenses will be fully reimbursed pro-rata to Manager by those subsidiaries that are active at the time such expenses are incurred, based on the following levels:

 

i.“Level 1” will require expenses to be reimbursed pro-rata by the number of subsidiaries that are formed and actively procuring funds in their Reg A Plus offerings. While ERCHB2 is the sole subsidiary formed and procuring funds in its Reg A Plus offering (if and when SEC Qualified), it will be the sole entity reimbursing Manager. As future subsidiaries are formed and commence procuring funds under SEC Qualified Reg A Plus offerings, they will contribute to the reimbursement on an equal basis. As an example and further clarification, when there are two that are active and funding, they will share half each, and if or when there are three active and funding subsidiaries, they will share 1/3 each, and so on.

 

ii.“Level 2” will require that once subsidiaries commence developing locations, (developing locations is defined as the closing on the purchase of a piece of land by the respective Reg A Plus subsidiary) it will become the “location-count” that determines the sharing of overhead expense reimbursements. As an example, if there are two subsidiaries active, and one of those subsidiaries has two developing locations, then the overhead expense reimbursement will be shared 1/3rd by the subsidiary with one location, and the subsidiary having two locations reimbursing Manager 2/3rd’s. In this manner, overhead expense reimbursement will be shared equally by the number of developing locations.

 

c)Manager shall not charge ERCHB2 any “profit fees” or “management fees” in addition to the cost allocations above. Actual Manager expenses that are chargeable to ERCHB2 will be paid by ERCHB2 to Manager without markup. Loans made from Manager to ERCHB2 will be required to be repaid in full at a commercially reasonable rate.

 

Page 3 of 4  

 

 

6.            Compliance. Manager shall perform its duties hereunder in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

 

7.            Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. The terms, promises, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

8.            Non-waiver. Failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent such party from thereafter enforcing any of its rights with respect to other or further violations of the Agreement.

 

9.            Entirety. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and it supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and undertakings with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by both parties to this Agreement.

 

10.          Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions.

 

11.           Notice. All notices, requests, demands, payments and other communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given if sent in writing, by hand delivery or certified mail, to the address set forth in the preamble hereof, or to such other address as may be given to the other party in writing. Notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

The parties hereto have executed this Management Services Agreement as of the date set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and confirms that, unless this Note is otherwise modified and amended, in writing, by the parties hereto (which Borrower agrees that Lender is and shall be under no obligation to do), all outstanding amounts hereunder shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.

 

INTEREST ACCRUAL. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to three percent (3%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be calculated at the Interest Rate, monthly, upon the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each calendar month during which all or any portion of the principal balance advanced hereunder remains outstanding. Absent manifest error, Lender’s records shall be conclusive evidence of the principal and accrued interest owing hereunder.

 

PAYMENTS. The entire outstanding unpaid principal balance, plus all accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All payments hereunder must be made in legal tender of the United States of America in good, collected funds at the place of payment. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern shall be credited on the next succeeding business day. For purposes hereof, only weekends and nationally recognized United States holidays shall be deemed non-business days.

WAIVERS. Borrower, any endorser, any guarantor hereof or any other party hereto (individually, an “Obligor” and collectively, “Obligors”) and each of them jointly and severally: (a) waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, and any other notice required to be given under the law to any Obligor in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, any endorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any other documents executed in connection with this Note (collectively, the “Loan Documents”); (b) consent to all delays, extensions, renewals or other modifications of this Note and/or the Loan Documents, or waivers of any term hereof and/or of the Loan Documents, or release or discharge by Lender of any Obligor, or release, substitution or exchange of any security for the payment hereof, or the failure to act on the part of Lender, or any indulgence shown by Lender (without notice to or further assent from any of Obligors), and agree that no such action, failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy by Lender shall in any way affect or impair the obligations of any Obligors or be construed as a waiver by Lender of, or otherwise affect, any of Lender’s rights under this Note, under any endorsement or guaranty of this Note or under any of the Loan Documents; and (c) agree to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses of collection or defense of this Note and/or of any endorsement or guaranty hereof and/or the enforcement or defense of Lender’s rights with respect to, or the administration, supervision, preservation, protection of, or realization upon, any property securing payment hereof, including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, including fees related to any suit, mediation or arbitration proceeding, out of court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy proceedings (including without limitation seeking relief from the stay of 11 U.S.C. §362 and limiting the use of cash collateral under 11 U.S.C. §363), receivership, or other proceeding, in such amount as may be determined reasonable by any arbitrator or court, whichever is applicable. Any award or payment of attorneys’ or paralegal’s fees hereunder or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction shall include as a part thereof any and all sales or use taxes imposed thereon by any appropriate governmental authority.

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (a) the failure to make any payment of principal and/or interest and/or fees under this Note or any other obligation of any Obligor to Lender when due, at maturity or by acceleration; (b) default, which is not cured within the applicable grace or curative period, if any, shall occur under any other obligation, liability or indebtedness of any Obligor to Lender; (c) the commencement of a proceeding by or against any Obligor for dissolution or liquidation, the voluntary or involuntary termination or dissolution of any Obligor or the merger or consolidation of any Obligor with or into another entity; (d) the insolvency of, the business failure of, the appointment of a custodian, trustee, liquidator or receiver for or for any of the property of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the filing of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law or the filing of a petition for any adjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension by or against any Obligor; (e) the entry of a judgment against any Obligor which Lender deems to be of a material nature, in Lender’s sole discretion, which is not released or satisfied within 30 days of the entry thereof; or (f) the seizure or forfeiture of, or the issuance of any writ of possession, garnishment or attachment, or any turnover order for any property of any Obligor.

 

REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (a) Lender shall have the optional right to accelerate and declare as immediately due and payable in full the entire balance (principal, interest and all other charges due hereunder or under the Loan Documents) outstanding hereunder and all other obligations of any Obligor to Lender (however acquired or evidenced); and/or (b) to the extent permitted by law, the Interest Rate shall be increased at Lender’s discretion up to the maximum non-usurious rate chargeable by applicable law (the “Default Rate”). The provisions herein for a Default Rate shall not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a grace period giving Obligors a right to cure any default. At Lender’s option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of the Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the Default Rate provided in this Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full. Lender is hereby authorized at any time to set off any charge against any deposit accounts of any Obligor, as well as any money, instruments, securities, documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands, income and any other property, rights and interests of any Obligor which at any time shall come into the possession or custody or under the control of Lender or any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents, without notice or demand, any and all obligations due hereunder. Any judgment rendered on this Note shall bear interest at the highest rate of interest permitted pursuant to Chapter 687, Fla. Stat.

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The failure at any time of Lender to exercise any of its options or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date. All rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Lender. The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Lender’s rights under this Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Lender; each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Obligor to Lender in any other respect at any other time.

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. This Note, any Loan Documents, and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Lender shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its internal conflicts of laws principles. In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Note or any endorsement or guaranty of this Note or any Loan Documents, each Obligor irrevocably consents to and confers personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of Florida or the United States located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and expressly waives any objections as to venue in any such courts. Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent Lender from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available under applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, including the definition of the Interest Rate, Lender shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on this Note, any amount in excess of the amount permitted and calculated at the Maximum Rate (as hereinafter defined), and, in the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any amount in excess of the amount permitted and calculated at the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and, if the principal balance of this Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (i) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof; and (iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note. The term “Maximum Rate” shall mean, as to Lender, the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time, or from time to time, may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note under the laws which are presently in effect of the United States and the State of Florida applicable to Lender and such indebtedness or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, under such applicable laws of the United States and the State of Florida which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

 

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF EACH AND EVERY COVENANT AND/OR OBLIGATION OF BORROWER HEREUNDER.

 

Any notice to be given or to be served upon any party hereto shall be given, in writing, and delivered personally, via registered or certified U.S. Mail, with all charges pre-paid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier that provides confirmation of delivery, and such notices shall be directed to the addresses set forth above or to such other or additional addresses as any party might designate by written notice to the other party.

BORROWER BY ITS EXECUTION HEREOF KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) BASED ON THIS NOTE OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS NOTE, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, PRINCIPALS, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS NOTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER ASSERTED BY WAY OF COMPLAINT, ANSWER, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER SHALL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LITIGATION, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be executed in its name as of the day and year first above written.
