Fwd: Term Sheet and Loan Agreement
Dear Keith,
I hope this finds you well and you enjoyed the long weekend. I wanted to follow up on the TS and loan agreement I sent over last week. We are still working against the deadline of the 19th (i.e. Friday) to close it. Please make sure to come back with any input today or tomorrow (Leon mentioned one change - 20% for 2.25mio, not 21.74% for 2.5mio) as otherwise I am getting under pressure from my alternative investors to close with them. Let's avoid that!
All the best, Magnus

I'd also like to incorporate basic language on the strategic intent of the investment, including what you discussed with me and Leon. Would you like me to take the lead on drafting or would you like to take the lead? Thanks. Keith
The image contains information about Keith Fox, CEO of Phaidon. There is also a blacked-out section that likely contains further details about him or the company. The text "phaidon.com" is also visible, which is the website for Phaidon.

Thank you. That's ok.
Any comments on the TS?
And if you find the time please let me know your offer regarding rent. I would prefer a charge per seat. Initially I will need three seats which will go up to 10 seats until year end.

The image contains text that appears to be a title or company name, "Phaidon," followed by several blacked-out sections. Below "Phaidon" and to the left of a long black bar, there is text reading "T" and "M." The rest of the content is obscured.
Yvonne is traveling back to her office and will send term sheet and loan revisions shortly.
I spoke with several IP lawyers and would like your guidance on what I have learned. Here's the simple summary:
data is fair usage and not an issue for the app
user generated images and content is covered as long as we remove images, as requested. It's covered in DMCA, section 512
scraped data is more problematic for several reasons:
many sites prohibit scraping in their terms and conditions and therefore image collection is a violation of their terms.
most commercial sites do not have the rights to the images. They are permitted for the sole purpose of the one-time commercial usage.
we are "commercial" and therefore required to clear rights through the artists directly, via galleries / institutions and through clearing houses like ARS and VAGA. You have $86,000 in year 1 and $172,800 in year 2 in your budget.
Do you agree with this assessment?
Many of the images and prices are from auction houses. Are you concerned that they might ask you to take down the images?
Can you let me know how you projected your image rights budget?
Please let me know your thoughts. Keith

Dear all,
back with small edits, i.e. I adjusted the diluted share of Leon Black - as Anastasiya will not participate in this round of Series A preferred (Magnus just discussed with Brad), the fully diluted share should be 20% instead of 19.57%; I also put back the existing board member from Series Seed investors. No changes to the Loan agreement.
Best, Max

Attached are revised drafts of the documents, including redlines marked to show changes against the versions you sent last night.
Please note that we have applied the AFR (applicable federal rate) for loans of this duration so as to ensure that this loan is treated as a loan. The current rate is 0.65%.
In addition, it is our client's expectation that Ms Anastasia's investment will be in shares of common stock and not preferred. This has been discussed with her.
Let us know if you have any further comments or questions on the documents.
Best regards
Yvonne

Attached is the execution copy of the Loan Agreement, together with the final form of the term sheet — we made a slight change in the definition of the Investor — for your reference, I attach a pdf of the changed page to reflect the change we made from the draft of the term sheet that Max circulated this afternoon.
We trust that the documents are in order. Attached is the signed signature page for the Black investing entity. Please hold it is escrow until we confirm receipt of the signature page duly signed by Artace and its majority stockholder.
By the terms of the loan agreement, the loan will be made within three business days of the date of thereof. So please send us your signature pages so that we can wrap up the documentation and fund accordingly.
Many thanks and best regards
Yvonne
