issuance of their warrants (2.5% per producer)

 MFN against VC and founders on equity terms (e.g., dilution protection, audit rights, P&L
reporting, registration rights, matching rights, preemptive rights, tag-along/drag-along,
approval/consent rights)
 Warrant strike price will be $0.01
 Once warrants are accepted by Producers, they are exercisable at any time, including
upon a change of control. Producers to have cashless exercise option
 No term on the warrants
 Equity will be non-funding
