Keith, Brad (apologies — I no=e you were not on the original email with the revised docs).=/span>
Issues from Max's mark up as =ollows:
1. Amount of the investment:=C2 $2.250 MM versus our $2.2 MM. Pls confirm the deal.<=u>
2. Percentage ownership of the comp=ny: 19.57% for $2.25 MM. Is this the deal?
3. Interest rate on loan: 0.0=%? we had 0.1%.
4. Default interest on loan: _%? we had 10%.
5. One year maturity for the loan:=C2 pls confirm OK.
6. Date for closing of the investme=t: April 19, 2016 — so four months to get the paperwork etc =n place.
OK?
7. Liquidation pref: one time=. Consistent with seed preferred. Is this the deal?<=u>
8. Automatic conversion into common=on a qualified public offering — it raises $20MM. pls confir= this is OK.
EFTA_R1_01582033
EFTA02470782
9. Monthly info - Keith =80 you asked for forecast vs actuals for downloads, usage and image upl=ads —
their mark up suggests they will give you actual info only. Is this OK?
10. Materiality threshol=s for Series A preferred consents: $500K — do we have any id=a of their current
financial situation? Should it be lower?
11. Drag if majority in interest wan= to sell: we had changed to two thirds. Majority in interest i= consistent
with current stockholders agreement and pretty standard.
12. 5 member board : Magnus ch=oses three. Series A chooses one. Silent on the fifth =93 mark up deletes
the nominee of Maleki. Have you discu=sed this? If they say the fifth is the CEO, then effectively Magnus has 4 seat=.
OK? Or did you expect a seed investor to select the fi=th director? Or the fifth to be an independent or someone jointly
selected=by Magnus and Black ?
13. Board meetings: reduced fr=m four to two semi-annual. OK?
To finalize the docs and if you expec= to sign tomorrow, I need the name and address of the Black entity that
wi=l fund the loan. Disbursement of loan will be 3 Biz Days after signing — so funding will be due Wednesday =eb 24.
Let me know if you would like to disc=ss. On the business issues, it might be more efficient if you raised=them
with Max/Magnus before we revise and finalize the documents.

please find attached the revised version of both loa= agreement and term sheet. While I accepted almost all of
the edits, I unf=rtunately spotted a mistake we made on the valuation and investment sum (i=e. given the agreed pre-
money valuation of USD 9 mn and a total Series A investment of 2.5 mn (2.25 Leon Black, a=5 Anastasiya Siro), the fully
diluted share of Leon Black should be 19.57%=- see cap table).
Best, Max
P.S.: For completeness, Anastasiya's share would=be 2.17% for her Series A shares or a total of 3.74% including
common shar=s

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 =uidance on what I have learned. Here's the simple
summary:
- data is fair usage and not an issue for the app=/u>
- user generated images and content is covered as lo=g as we remove images, as requested. It's covered
in DMCA, s=ction 512
- scraped data is more problematic for several reaso=s:
1) many sites prohibit scraping in their terms and c=nditions and therefore image collection is a violation
of their terms.<=u>
2) most commercial sites do not have the rights to t=e images. They are permitted for the sole purpose
of the one-time commerci=l usage.
3) we are "commercial" and therefore requi=ed to clear rights through the artists directly, via galleries /
instituti=ns and through clearing houses like ARS and VAGA. You have $86,000 in year 1 and $172,800 in year 2 in your
budget. </=>
- =AO Do you agree with this assessment?

EFTA_R1_01582036
EFTA02470785
- =AO Many of the images and prices are from auction houses. Are =ou concerned that they might ask
you to take down the images?
=AO Can you let me know how you projected your image rights budget? =C2
Please let me know your thoughts. Keith
