    2

    then on the day immediately following the deadline the investment agreement shall

    automatically cease to have effect.

    The parties attach the cost plan of the Company for the first two (2) years as Annex No. 1 to

    this Term Sheet.

    By the Investment the Investor shall acquire the following shareholding in the Company:

    Premoney + amount of the Investment = Postmoney

    Shareholding of the Founders = Premoney / Postmoney, that is […]% 

    Shareholding of the Investor = Investment / Postmoney, that is […]%

    The preference rights in case of any liquidation event described in this Term Sheet shall be

    attached to the quota held by the Investor (“Preferred Quota”). No such rights shall be

    attached to the quotas held by the members other than the Investor (“Common Quota”).

    The shareholding in the Company shall be described in Annex No. 2 attached to this Term

    Sheet (Capitalization Table).

    Rights and obligations of the Parties

    The Founders of the Company undertake to irrevocably transfer all intellectual property

    rights free of any royalty or charge to the Company that are necessary to the operation of

    the Company, including but not limited to inventions, developments, methods, creations,softwares, technologies, procedures, processes, technical matters, documentations, domain

    names, know-how and all materials under or giving rise to copyrights, trademarks, patents,

    industrial designs or trade secrets, and all relating rights and documents. The scope of such

    intellectual property transfer shall be set forth fully and controlled in its scope by an

    intellectual property transfer agreement which shall reference the Founders and this Term

    Sheet.

    The Founders undertake that in lack of a justified reason (e.g. the size of the team, rental of

    another office) they will carry out their activity in the office determined by the Investor(currently: Budapest, Lónyay utca 31., attic). 

    Founders undertake to participate in the pitch training organized by the Investor on each

    Wednesday, and in the 1:1 meeting to be held with the Investor on each Friday.

    Liquidation Preference

    The Parties agree that upon Exit, from the purchase price received at Exit (i) first the amount

    of the Investment shall be paid to the owner of the Preferred Quota and all approved but yet

    unpaid dividends/interim dividends, then (ii) the remaining amount shall be distributed to

  • 8/20/2019 Vanilla Term Sheet Kft VEN

    3/11

    3

    the members of the Company in the ratio of their shareholding in the Company (1 x

    liquidation preference, participating).

    The owner of a Preferred Quota shall be entitled to liquidation preference. If the owner of

    the Preferred Quota converts his/her Preferred Quota or any part of it to Common Quota

    according to the provisions described in the below “Conversion of Preferred Q uota”, then

    he/she shall lose the liquidation preference right attached to the converted quota or the

    converted part thereof. If the owner of a Preferred Quota converts only a part of his/her

    quota to Common Quota, his/her right to liquidation preference shall be decreased in a

    corresponding ratio as follows:

    A quota of […]% secures an amount of HUF […] liquidation preference. Therefore, a 1%

    Preferred Quota secures an amount of HUF […] liquidation preference.

    Any profit gained and distributed between the Parties during the operation of the Company(e.g. dividends/interim dividends) shall be distributed to the Parties in the ratio of their

    shareholding.

    Pay-to-Play

    At its first general meeting or at another meeting as soon as may be held thereafter, on

    proposal from the management of the Company, the Company shall decide on a qualified

    financing. If the Company involves a qualified financing in order to maintain or increase

    operations AND the owner of the Preferred Quota fails to participate in the next qualifiedfinancing on a pro rata basis (according to its total ownership immediately before such

    financing) of his investment, then such holder will have the Preferred Quota, or its relevant

    part automatically converted into Common Quota. If such holder participates in the next

    qualified financing but not to the full extent of his pro rata share, then only a percentage of

    his Preferred Quota will be converted into Common Quota, with that percentage being equal

    to its pro rata contribution that he failed to contribute.

    Vesting

    The Company shall acquire a call option in respect of all Common Quotas on the

    understanding that the Company can buy the Common Quotas of a relevant member of the

    Company, or a portion thereof specified below, at a purchase price of HUF 5 (five Hungarian

    forints) within forty-eight (48) months of the establishment of the Company, if the relevant

    member actually carries out an activity that does not further serve the purpose of the

    Company and does not fully comply with the job description of such person. The managing

    director (defined below) of the Company will be entitled to decide whether any member

    fails to carry out the activity that would be serving the purpose of the Company or fails to

    comply with his/her job description; the general meeting will be entitled to do the same inthe event that the relevant member is the managing director. Upon establishment of the

  • 8/20/2019 Vanilla Term Sheet Kft VEN

    4/11

    4

    Company, the Company has a call option for the proportion of 48:48 of the quota of the

    relevant member, which call option will be decreased upon elapse of six (6) months to the

    proportion of 42:48, and then relates to a quota proportion that is lowered by the

    proportion of 1:48 every month (4-year reverse vesting with a 6-month cliff period) (e.g.,

    after the elapse of the first eighteen (18) months of the establishment of the Company, theCompany will only have an option for the proportion of 30:48 of the shares of the relevant

    member). In respect of the ESOP defined below, the Parties may agree on stricter vesting

    rules but not on any that are more favorable to the Founders.

    The call option of the Company shall cease to exist with immediate effect (accelerated

    vesting) in the case of an Exit AND the termination of the employment contract of the

    owners having Common Quotas following the Exit.

    Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)

    The Company shall reserve 15% of the total amount (100%) of the Common Quotas prior to

    closing and the Preferred Quotas to the debit of the Common Quotas in an Employee Stock

    Option Plan (“ESOP”). The quotas to be entered into the ESOP are designed to motivate the

    employees and other agents of the Company through the provisions of quota option. The

    parties agree that the quotas not allotted from the ESOP to the employees or other agents

    of the Company until the date of the Exit will be shared between the Founders pro-rata with

    their prevailing shareholding at the time of the Exit.

     Antidilution

    When another investor invests capital into the Company, and in doing so it acquires a quota

    at a lower valuation (Premoney) than the valuation at which the Investor acquired his quota,

    the quota held by the Investor shall be adjusted on the basis of the price paid by the Investor

    and the price paid by the new investor for their respective quota, and the proportion of the

    amount of the quota held by the Investor and the quota acquired by the new investor. Upon

    calculation of the adjusted price of the quota, all quotas of the Company shall be taken into

    account, including the ESOP (broad-based weighted average antidilution). The Investor will

    acquire the additional quotas that can be acquired on the basis of the above provision to the

    debit of all of the holders of Common Quota (except for the Investor and the new investor),

    as well as the quotas reserved for the purposes of ESOP.

    Antidilution will be calculated based on the following formula:

    NQP = Price of the Quota paid by the Investor at the Investment x (1 + CQP)/(1 + CQAP)

    where

    NQP = New Quota Price (New Quota Price).

  • 8/20/2019 Vanilla Term Sheet Kft VEN

    5/11

    5

    CQP = Common Quota Purchasable, that is the percentage (%) of Common Quota the second

    round investor would have acquired in the second round, if he/she purchased a quota at a

    price equal to the price paid by the Investor under this term sheet.

    CQAP = Common Quota Actually Purchased, that is the percentage (%) of Common Quota

    actually acquired by the second round investor.

    Management

    The size of the Company’s management shall be set at […]. The managing director of the

    Company shall be […]. The managing director represents the Company as the sole managing

    director and shall have all powers as set forth in the organizational documents of the

    Company including the power to execute contracts and sign for the Company in any

    approved transactions.

    The prevailing chief financial officer (CFO) of the Company shall have a non-voting

    participation right at the meetings of the management. The CFO shall be Ákos Eöry as the

    Investor representative. As long as the Investor does not appoint a CFO, the managing

    director shall fulfill any such tasks.

    During the period of the investment the bookkeeping of the Company shall be carried out by

    PB Talentum Kft. (registered seat: 1118 Budapest, Ménesi út 39., I. emelet 3. ajtó, Hungary;

    registered seat: Cg.01-09-892881).

    Parties agree that the owner of the Preferred Quota shall have veto rights in respect of the

    following matters even if such owner has minority shareholding in the Company:

    (i)  the amendment, change or any alteration of the purpose/core business of the

    Company;

    (ii)  the amendment to the articles of association of the Company, except for the

    administrative amendments which have no direct business, financial impact or are not

    In each month the Company shall provide the Investor with a report, data summary or

    information. Every second week the Company shall send the Investor a KPI and a description

    Company by such requesting member.

    Drag-along and Tag-along rights

    The owner of the Preferred Quota shall have the following drag-along right and tag-along

    rights as follows:

    The drag-along right attached to the Preferred Quota means that the owner of the Preferred

    Quota shall have the right to oblige the owners of the Common Quota to transfer their quota

    to a third party with the same terms and conditions as the owner of the Preferred quota.

    The drag-along right can be exercised only if the value of the Company reaches at least USD

    […] according to the purchase offer. At a purchase price resulting in a lower valuation thanabove the drag-along right cannot be exercised. Furthermore, the drag-along right cannot

    be exercised to a part of the Common Quotas, only to all such quotas, that is to all Common

    Quotas at the same time, with the same terms and conditions.

    The tag-along right attached to the Preferred Quota means that the owner of the Preferred

    Quota shall have the right that if the owners of the Common Quotas transfer their quotas,

    then the owner of the Preferred Quota can join them and sell his/her quota with the same

    terms and conditions applicable to the owners of the Common Quota. If the owner of the

  • 8/20/2019 Vanilla Term Sheet Kft VEN

    7/11

    7

    Quota may transfer their quotas only if the purchaser purchases the quota of the owner of

    the Preferred Quota.

    The Parties agree that in order to ensure the fulfillment of the rights and obligations

    described in this clause, they exclude any transfer of the quotas (e.g. gratuitous conveyance,

    exchange) other than sale and purchase.

    Right of first refusal and pre-emption right

    Right of first refusal: in case of the transfer of the quota or any part thereof held by any

    shall have a right of first refusal in respect of the quota to be transferred by sale and

    purchase.

    Pre-emption right: in case of a qualified financing, the Investor can participate in the capitalincrease before the third party investor with the same terms and conditions. The pre-

    emption right shall be due at first to the holders of the Preferred Quota then to the holders

    of the Common Quota.

    Conversion of Preferred Quota

    The holder of the Preferred Quotas is entitled to convert his/her shares into Common Quota

    at any time during the existence of the Company. The Common Quotas cannot be converted

    into Preferred Quotas.

    The Preferred Quota -> Common Quota conversion shall be executed automatically in the

    case when the Company decides about the next qualified investment, but the owner of the

    Preferred Quota is unable or unwilling to participate in the next qualified financing in ratio of

    his/her shareholding (Pay-to-Play). If in the next qualified financing the owner of the

    Preferred Quota does not participate in the ratio of his/her shareholding, then the Preferred

    Quota, or its relevant part shall be automatically converted into Common Quota. From the

    Preferred Quota of the Investor the following part shall be converted:

    CONV = 1 – (INVX / INVB)

    where

    CONV = the ratio of the Preferred quota that shall be converted.

    INVX

    = the new amount that has been actually invested by the Investor in the new

    investment round.

    INVB = (INV) x (the amount of the Preferred quota in percentage held by the Investor).
