5.15.1 Receive a prospective investor’s prior, informed consent to obtain the use of electronic signatures in the form provided by the Issuer; and

6.8 If: (x) the Issuer elects to discontinue Services for an Offering and does not have a termination right under this Agreement to do so or if WealthForge terminates its Services for an Offering for material breach; and (y) there are Remaining Funds, then upon invoice from WealthForge, the Issuer will pay WealthForge the Managing Broker-Dealer Fee for the Remaining Funds as if the Remaining Funds were Gross Proceeds of an Offering.

1.1.1 The investor will be considered a “Customer” of WealthForge (as described below). WealthForge represents that it has established and implemented an AML compliance program (“AML Program”), in accordance with FINRA Rule 3310 and Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, and Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which are reasonably expected to detect and cause reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Securities. In addition, WealthForge represents that it has established and implemented a program (“OFAC Program”) for compliance with OFAC and will continue to maintain its OFAC Program during the Term of this Agreement. Upon request by the Issuer at any time, WealthForge will (i) furnish a copy of its AML Program and OFAC Program to the Issuer for review and (ii) furnish a copy of the findings and any remedial actions taken in connection with WealthForge’s most recent independent testing of its AML Program and its OFAC Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WealthForge will not be required to provide to the Issuer any documentation that, in WealthForge’s reasonable judgment, would cause WealthForge to lose the benefit of attorney-client privilege or other privilege which it may be entitled to assert relating to the discoverability of documents in any civil or criminal proceedings. WealthForge represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML rules and all OFAC requirements, specifically including, but not limited to, the Customer Identification Program requirements under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

If WealthForge expends Registration Fees, the Issuer and the Issuer-Affiliated Representative are jointly and severally liable for promptly reimbursing WealthForge for the Registration Fees upon invoice from WealthForge.

 

3.4.3 Certain personnel of the Issuer or its Affiliates or their respective agents that assist Issuer-Affiliated Representatives may be required to become Issuer NRF Persons.

3.4.4 The Issuer has no regulatory supervisory obligations for a Issuer- affiliated Representative or a Issuer NRF Person in his or her capacity of performing securities functions under WealthForge. However, the Issuer is responsible for ensuring that its business activities adhere to applicable law and regulation. The Issuer may not include transaction-based compensation in an agreement between the Issuer and its Issuer- Affiliated Representatives.

 

3.4.5 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Issuer-Affiliated Representatives will only provide Retail Services for the Issuer and its Offerings.

 

3.4.6 If (x) WealthForge’s provision of Rep Supervision Services is, in its reasonable opinion, necessary for the Issuer to operate in a compliant manner related to Offerings under this Agreement; and (y) if Issuer-Affiliated Representatives or Issuer NRF Persons become unable to perform in those respective capacities for WealthForge for any reason, including if WealthForge submits one or more U5 Forms in its discretion, then (z) WealthForge may terminate any or all of its Services for the infringing Offerings. WealthForge may terminate its Services for an Offering if the Issuer is in breach of Section 3.4.4 of this Addendum. WealthForge may terminate the Broker-Dealer Service Schedule or the Agreement if the anticipated structure of the Issuer’s future Offerings will not allow the Issuer to raise capital without the provision of Rep Supervision Services or if WealthForge is unable to administer individuals it determines are required to be Issuer NRF Persons.

 

3.4.7 The Issuer represents and warrants that the Issuer-Affiliated Representatives and Issuer NRF Persons participating or who will participate in an Offering are not subject to one or more disqualification events as described in Section 2.7 of the Agreement (a “Disqualification Event”).

26

 

 

3.4.8 WealthForge has sole discretion to grant or withhold consent for each Issuer-Affiliated Representative to participate in each Offering.

 

3.4.9 If the Issuer provides Issuer-Affiliated Representatives and Issuer NRF Persons with an email account, then the Issuer will help facilitate the email supervision, including facilitating email archiving when necessary and use email disclaimers that WealthForge requires.

3.5.1 If WealthForge is engaged under a Deal Sheet for an Offering, Issuer- Affiliated Representatives may provide Retail Services or Wholesale Services for the Offering.

3.6 WealthForge will pay the Issuer-Affiliated Representative 90% of the amount of the Retail Commissions that WealthForge collects from the Issuer or Issuer attributable to Rep-Introduced Investors.

 

3.7 “Rep-Introduced Investor” means an investor the Issuer-Affiliated Representative introduced to one or more Offerings in performing Retail Services on WealthForge’s behalf.

 

3.8 Additional Indemnities

 

3.8.1 In addition to the Issuer’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the Issuer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WealthForge from and against all Losses in connection with or arising out of (w) a Issuer- Affiliated Representative’s breach of his or her Rep Agreement or applicable law or regulation; (x) a Issuer NRF Persons’ breach of his or her NRF Agreement or applicable law or regulation; (y) the Issuer-Affiliated Representative or Issuer NRF Person’s employment with the Issuer; and (z) any private securities transactions by the Issuer- Affiliated Representative or Issuer NRF Person.

Parties agreed to: Tanya Muro, Chris Rohde

 

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE From time to time, WealthForge (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the "I agree" button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $ 0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign "Withdraw Consent" form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system.
