DRAFT: GRANT FUNDING AGREEMENT

MOONBASE FOUNDATION GRANT FUNDING AGREEMENT

Effective Date:

This Grant Funding Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between:

Moonbase Foundation, a not-for-profit entity organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal office located at 169 Maddison Avenue, New York, NY-10016 (“Moonbase”),

and

[Start-up Name]                                                                                                                                    a company incorporated under the laws of [Jurisdiction]                                                                                                                                                       with its principal place of business at [Startup Address]                                                                                                                                                                                         (“Grantee”).

This Agreement consists of three parts:

       I.         Section A – Grant Funding Agreement;

      II.         Annexure A – Grant Reporting Template

Section A – Grant Funding Agreement

1.      Purpose of Grant

The Foundation agrees to issue a $50,000 USD non-dilutive grant to the Recipient for the purpose of preparing for institutional fundraising. This grant is to be used solely for investor readiness and fundraising support services, including:

• Pitch deck and one-pager refinement

• Investor-grade valuation

• Financial modelling and scenario testing

• Investment memo creation

• Data room setup and documentation

• Third-party advisory services related to fundraising (legal, audit, IP, compliance)

Maxnx will assist in administering and supporting these services but does not control grant usage, nor is Maxnx entitled to any fee from the grant. Maxnx’s success fee (5%) applies only to capital they raise directly, under a separate agreement.

2.      Approved Use of Funds

Grant funds will be paid directly to verified third-party vendors, service providers, or specialists including but not limited to:

• Completion of professional Valuation report

• Legal Counsel (cap table migration, SAFE review, IP setup)

• Financial modelling consultants

• Compliance & data audit services

• Data room platforms participation (e.g., Wevestr, Carta, DocSend)

Moonshotnx and Maxnx may recommend pre-vetted vendors, but final approval of all expenditures and vendor engagement resides solely with the Foundation. Upon completion of all investor-readiness services, any remaining balance may only be used for additional services that support fundraising defensibility (e.g., patent filing, branding, or marketing) with explicit prior approval from the Foundation.

3.      Reporting Requirements

While the grant is being actively used, the Recipient agrees to provide monthly status updates and documentation through the Maxnx data room or an equivalent reporting mechanism.

Reporting obligations cease once all services are completed and the grant is fully deployed, unless the Recipient proceeds with:

• STACK Note funding

• Follow-on Foundation support

• Additional grant requests

For clarity, reporting obligations shall cease upon the completion of all approved services and full disbursement of the grant funds, unless the Recipient seeks additional follow-on support or Stack Note funding from the Foundation, in which case a new reporting cycle may be initiated.

The Grantee must submit monthly updates using the official Moonbase Grant Reporting Template, provided as Annexure A to this Agreement. Reports must include:

       i.         Fundraising progress (meetings, outreach, investor interest)

       ii.         Use of services or deliverables completed to date

      iii.         Business milestone tracking

     iv.         Notes on anticipated service use or planned milestones

      v.         Investor engagement metrics

Failure to report for two (2) consecutive months may result in funding suspension or review.

Reports must be submitted in full by the specified deadline each month. Incomplete, delayed, or skipped reporting is a breach of the Grant Agreement.

4.      Sunset of reporting Obligations

All obligations of the Recipient under this Agreement, including but not limited to reporting requirements, shall terminate upon the completion of approved services and full disbursement of the Grant funds, except where explicitly extended in writing by mutual agreement. No continuing obligations shall apply beyond this point unless the Recipient elects to engage in follow-on programs, such as Stack Note participation, which shall be governed by separate agreements.

5.      Termination and Clawback

There is no clawback of the grant unless:

• The Recipient materially breaches this Agreement

• The Recipient fails to complete onboarding services or misuses funds

Funds not yet disbursed will be frozen in such cases, and any further services will be halted. There are no clawbacks after successful delivery and completion of the services.

6.      Material Breach and Cure

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “material breach” shall include but is not limited to:

                i.         Misuse of Grant Funds – Use of grant monies for personal expenses or non-approved services not directly related to investor-readiness, fundraising, or pre-approved strategic uses.

                ii.         Misrepresentation – Knowingly providing false or misleading information during onboarding, reporting, or service delivery.

               iii.         Non-Cooperation – Repeated failure to participate in required onboarding sessions, respond to communications, or complete deliverables necessary for IR preparation or service milestones.

              iv.         Fraud or Illegality – Engagement in fraudulent, unethical, or illegal activity by the Recipient or any principal.

               v.         Violation of Grant Terms – Breach of any core restrictions outlined in Sections 2–6 of this Agreement, including circumventing approved providers, unauthorized fund withdrawals, or transfer of grant benefit to a third party.

              vi.         Notice and Cure Period - In the event of an alleged material breach, the Foundation shall provide written notice to the Recipient describing the nature of the breach. The Recipient shall have ten (10) business days from the date of notice to cure or remedy the breach. If the breach is not remedied within the cure period, the Foundation reserves the right to withhold remaining funds, terminate services, or pursue recovery of disbursed amounts.

7.      Representations and Warranties

Grantee represents and warrants that:

·       It is a legally incorporated and operating business entity

·       It has full authority to enter into this Agreement

·       All information provided to Moonbase and Maxnx is true and accurate

·       It will comply with all applicable laws and regulations

8.      Grant Onboarding Process

Moonshotnx will coordinate and assist the Recipient to onboard to Maxnx. Maxnx is a third-party independent associate of both Moonshotnx and the Foundation and acts as the approved associate service provider on behalf of the Foundation.

The onboarding process is not a light prep track, but a structured, hands-on and controlled investor readiness process designed to track, prepare, and align the Recipient for STACK Note funding and full fundraising facilitation. The Recipient is expected to:

• Complete an initial startup assessment

• Submit documents required for valuation and modelling

• Engage in structured onboarding and IR preparation sessions with Maxnx team Grantees

9.      Disbursement Mechanics : Grant Distribution Structure

The Grantee understands and agrees that:

Maxnx Inc. is the sole administrative agent responsible for managing all grant-related disbursements on behalf of the Moonbase Foundation 

No grant funds will be disbursed directly to the Grantee under any circumstances.

All funds will be allocated only to pre-approved vendors, consultants, and service providers authorized by Moonbase Foundation and coordinated by Maxnx Inc.

Funds will be disbursed directly to service providers on behalf of the Recipient. No funds shall be disbursed directly to the Recipient.

Any request to pay an unlisted vendor requires:

• Pre-approval from the Foundation

• Verification of provider’s legitimacy

• Documentation of service alignment with fundraising objectives

The Foundation reserves the right to reject any vendor or service proposed by the Recipient if deemed outside scope or inconsistent with the grant’s purpose.

10.    Fund Administration and Approved Vendor Use

Maxnx Inc. shall act as the sole steward and coordinator of grant funds. All disbursements shall be applied strictly to Foundation-approved service providers for eligible services.

The Grantee agrees that:

       i.         All services must be delivered via pre-approved vendors or partners

       ii.         Any fees, charges, or costs—whether incurred from approved vendors or otherwise—that fall outside the approved scope of work, or represent additional or premium services beyond the standard funded program, shall be fully borne by the Grantee.

      iii.         Maxnx Inc. is not responsible for coordinating or reimbursing these out-of-scope expenses, and they must be settled directly between the Grantee and the service provider.

11.    Misrepresentation and Disqualification

Any misrepresentation, material omission, or inaccurate reporting by the Grantee will result in:

       i.         Immediate disqualification from Moonbase and Maxnx grant-related services

       ii.         Revocation of any unused or pending funds

      iii.         Formal reporting to the Foundation and investor network partners

     iv.         Forfeiture of access to follow-on funding, placement, or syndication

12.    Automatic Grant Cancellation

If the Grantee fails to:

       i.         Submit required documentation, onboarding materials, or compliance responses within five (5) business days of a deadline; or

       ii.         Provide a required report or clarification requested by Maxnx or Moonbase Foundation within five (5) business days;

      iii.         then the grant will be automatically cancelled, and any undistributed or unutilized funds will be returned to Moonbase Foundation. The Grantee will no longer be eligible for grant-backed services or related investor introductions through Maxnx Inc.

13.    Compliance Responsibility

The Grantee is fully responsible for:

       i.         Responding promptly to Maxnx communications

       ii.         Completing onboarding, due diligence, and any data room obligations

      iii.         Maintaining complete and accurate records of business, fundraising, and grant usage

     iv.         Following all Moonbase reporting, governance, and audit standards

14.    Maxnx IR Services

The Recipient may opt to continue working with Maxnx for investor outreach and fundraising execution. This is governed by a separate Investor Relations Agreement, which shall be appended as Annexure C to this grant agreement for reference, if this service is offered after completion of the Grantor services managed on behalf of the Moonbase Foundation.

a.      Maxnx IR services only commence upon the Recipient’s formal acceptance into the Maxnx IR fundraising services department.

·       The Foundation shall provide an additional $25,000 deposit specifically for Maxnx fundraising services, separate and in addition to the $50,000 grant allocation.

·       Maxnx fees are structured at $50,000 per $1 million raised, payable only upon the successful close of the raise, evidenced by signed term sheets and receipt of funds into the startup’s attorney trust account.

·       Any Maxnx fees due shall be less the Foundation’s $25,000 deposit. If the round closes before Maxnx raises funds or the startup elects not to proceed with Maxnx services, the $25,000 deposit shall revert back to the Foundation.

·       Moonbase reserves the right to audit the use of funds through Maxnx reporting.

·       Voluntary Nature of Services and Non-Contingency of Grant
This Grant is a non-dilutive funding allocation provided to support the Recipient’s investor readiness and capital access. Use of Maxnx IR services or any associated fundraising support is not mandatory, and the Grant shall not be revoked, reduced, or clawed back solely due to the Recipient's decision not to utilize these services. The Grant does not constitute a fee-for-service arrangement, and no additional liabilities are created beyond those explicitly stated herein.

b.      Foundation IR Deposit

Should the Grantee choose to appoint Maxnx as an IR service provider, then upon acceptance and entry into Maxnx IR Services, the Moonbase Foundation will issue an additional $25,000 deposit toward Maxnx fees.

This deposit is separate from the $50,000 grant and will be credited against the Grantee's success fee obligations.

Should the Grantee close their round without Maxnx’s support or choose not to proceed with fundraising through Maxnx, the $25,000 deposit will revert to the Moonbase Foundation.

15.    Confidentiality

All terms of this Agreement and any materials provided by Moonbase are confidential. Grantee agrees not to disclose them to any third party without written consent, unless legally required.

24.    Independent Contractor Status

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, agency, or employment relationship between the parties.

25.    Not a Professional Advisor.

Every start-up’s journey is different and custom to their team, geography, shareholders, and what professional’s investors are willing to invest into. Advisory is not and does not claim to be a licensed expert or a certified specialist for every Grantee’s individual circumstances. The Grantee understands that the Grantor content is for informational purposes only and Grantee should consult with their own experts and specialists with regard to tax, accounting, business, or legal matters regardless of any general information received or provided as part of the program. Grantee acknowledges, understands and agrees that (a) Advisory is not providing any tax, accounting, business, or legal advice to Grantee and that Advisory does not make any representation regarding tax obligations or consequences related to or arising from this Agreement and (b) Grantee assumes sole liability and responsibility for his or its federal, state and/or local tax obligations or consequences that may arise from or relate to this Agreement and that he or it will not seek any indemnification from or otherwise seek to impose any liability on Advisory.

27.    Severability;

No Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement or any other guidelines, terms or rules that may be posted or provided to you from time to time is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or guidelines, terms or rules will be unaffected and will remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable law. Advisory delay or failure to enforce any right, for any reason, does not waive our right to enforce it later.

28.    Indemnification

The Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Maxnx Inc. and Moonbase Foundation from any regulatory, financial, or reputational damage resulting from the Grantee’s breach of grant terms, misuse of services, failure to report, or misrepresentation. The Grantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor and each manager, officer, employee, attorney, agent, independent contractor, shareholder, and affiliate of Advisory (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation the Grantee, the Grantee’s affiliates, shareholders, Grantees, and prospective investors, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Grantee.

29.    General Terms

The Grantee will meet with experts, mentors, and investors that may offer advice, of which may contradict the advice of each other or the plans of the Grantee. The Foundation, Moonshotnx platform and Maxnx Advisory Services relies on the Grantee’s dedication, passion, and expertise to succeed as a business outside of the services the Grantor provides. The Grantee is responsible for their own decisions and must own the decisions they make and the consequences for those decisions. The Grantor, its team, and its affiliates are not your attorney, your cofounder, your CFO, or your therapist. Regardless of any decision the Grantee makes or fails to make, the Grantee, and its representatives agree not to seek indemnification from the Grantor, its team, and affiliates.

·       Meeting & Sessions Policy. If a meeting between Grantee and advisor, mentor, Mastermind, or other services have been scheduled, as mutually agreed upon, Grantee will join  the meeting at the agreed-upon time. Failure by Grantee to join or being more than 10 minutes late, may forfeit the Grantee’s right to services and program guarantee except under notification policy below. If a Grantee cannot attend a meeting, Grantee agrees that it is both reasonable, that it is the Grantee’s responsibility to, and that they will give 24 hours’ notice in advance of the scheduled meetings. The Grantee understands that a no-show to an investor or partner may harm the reputation of the Grantor and that the Grantor must still compensate service providers when Grantees no-show on the provider without 24-hour notice. Advisors, mentors, coaches, and other service providers reserve the right to terminate the relationship with any Grantee for any reason or subtract a missed session from a Grantee’s total sessions.

·       Code of Conduct. The Grantee agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and create the time and energy required to participate in the Foundation, Moonshotnx platform and Maxnx Advisory Services and to complete in accordance with the Grantor Requirements. The Grantee understands they are responsible for creating and managing their own physical, mental, and emotional well- being, decisions, choices, actions, and results in relation to their start-up. Thus, Grantee agrees to follow the Code of Conduct and not:

                i.         Engage in pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming, or any duplicative or unsolicited messages to the community (commercial or otherwise).

                ii.         Use the name of the Grantor or use photographs or illustrations of the Platform, premises, or any trademarks, logos, or other identifiers of Advisory in any advertising, publicity or for other purposes without Advisory’s prior written consent.

              vi.         Use any material or information, including images or photographs, which are made available by Advisory as a part of the Services in any manner that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of any party.

             vii.         Upload files that contain viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancel bots, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another’s computer or property of another.

             viii.         Download any file(s) that the Grantee knows, or reasonably should know, cannot be legally reproduced, displayed, performed, and/or distributed in such manner.

              ix.         Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying any service provided by the Grantor or its affiliates.

               x.         Violate any code of conduct of other guidelines which may be applicable to any activity in the course of the Foundation, Moonshotnx platform and Maxnx Advisory Services, including the building rules for the premises.

              xi.         Harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including email addresses, without the authorization or consent of the disclosing party.

              xii.         Violate any applicable laws or regulations.

             xiii.         Take or copy information belonging to Advisory, or other Foundation, Moonshotnx platform and Maxnx Advisory Services Grantees or their guests.

             xv.         Bring additional team Grantees onto the Platform or share access credentials with any other         non-approved entity, company, or individual.

            xvi.         Use the Platform to conduct or pursue illegal or offensive activities; and

           xvii.         The Grantee agrees that when participating in or using the Platform, the Grantee will be considerate and respectful of others.
