This safe note document certifies that in exchange for the payment by [Investor.FirstName][Investor.LastName] hereinafter known as the “Investor” of (“investment amount in dollars”) hereinafter known as the “Purchase Price” on or about (“approximate or actual date of investment in MM/DD/YYYY”),

[Sender.Company], of [Sender.State] hereinafter known as the “Company” hereby supplies specific shares of the Company’s capital stock to the Investor.

The “Valuation Cap” of this SAFE is $(“valuation cap amount in dollars”).

1. Events

1.1 Equity financing

In the event of an Equity Financing agreement, which referred to a transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital, is reached before termination of this document, the Company will issue to the Investor either:

• Shares of Standard Preferred Stock sold in the Equity Financing equal to the Purchase Price divided by the price per share of the Standard Preferred Stock.

• Shares of SAFE Preferred Stock (shares issued to the Investor in an Equity Financing) equal to the Purchase Price divided by the SAFE Price (the price per share found by dividing the Valuation Cap by the capitalization of the Company).

The issuance of SAFE Preferred Stock, in a connection made both parties, hereinafter known as “Parties,” are pursuant to the following:

• The Investor will entrust to the Company any and all transaction documents regarding Equity Financing if said transaction documents are similar documents used by the purchasers included in the Standard Preferred Stock, with variants for the SAFE Preferred Stock;

• The Parties will create a Pro-Rata Rights Agreement (a written agreement between the Investor and Company that gives the Investor the right to purchase pro-rata share of the private placement of securities) except if the Investor is already included in the transaction documents involving Equity Financing; and this instrument will terminate, expire, and will be no longer usable.

1.2 Dissolution event

If a Dissolution event occurs, which refers to either a voluntary termination of the document, an agreement that benefits the Company’s creditors, or other liquidation (besides a Liquidation Event), before this document terminates or expires, the Company will refund the Investor the total Purchase Price, due payable to the Investor before or during the Dissolution Event.

1.3 Liquidity event

If a Liquidation Event occurs, which refers to a Change of Control (capital stock is issued to another) or an Initial Public Offering (closing the Company), the Investor is entitled to either:

• A cash payment equal to the Purchase Price (unless under a dissolution event)

• Shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Price divided by Liquidation Price

The Company will refund the Investor the total Purchase Price, due payable to the Investor before or during the Liquidity Event.

1.4 Liquidity and dissolution pay-out terms

If for any reasons the Company assets legally accessible for use of Investor distribution, including all purchasers of SAFEs, as determined by a group of trusted individuals in good faith, are insufficient to permit payment to all holders of SAFEs of their individual Purchase Prices, all Company assets become available for legal distribution and will be handed out based on priority. Priority is determined by the cost of the Dissolving or Liquidity Investors investments.

Amounts payable are subject to Change of Control terms in a Liquidity Event. To qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company must also be determined by a group of trusted individuals in good faith as a tax-free entity before Liquidity.

After completing payment to the Investor, this document will terminate and expire.

2. Company legal rights

The Company is a corporation existing in good standing under the state of its incorporation and has authority and power to lease, own, and operate its properties.
