WHEREAS, the Board reviewed the proposed structure, business objectives, capitalization effects, investor and employee considerations, information and confidentiality controls, contractual transfer rights, legal and tax issues, costs, alternatives and potential conflicts;

WHEREAS, each director and participating officer was asked to disclose any direct or indirect financial, familial, employment, investment or other material interest in the Liquidity Program or a proposed transaction; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to authorize the Liquidity Program subject to defined limits and conditions, without obligating the Company to approve any particular transfer or future liquidity.

1. Information Reviewed and Advice Received

RESOLVED, that the Board acknowledges receipt and review of the materials listed on Exhibit B, including the capitalization analysis, stock-ledger reconciliation, transfer-restriction matrix, proposed eligibility criteria, price or pricing process, legal and tax issue memorandum, conflict disclosures, information protocol, transaction documents, implementation timeline and estimated costs;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board had the opportunity to ask questions of management and [COMPANY COUNSEL / SECURITIES COUNSEL / TAX ADVISER / FINANCIAL ADVISER], and the Secretary is directed to preserve final materials and material supplements with the meeting or consent record;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that no adviser鈥檚 presentation or opinion relieves the directors of their independent judgment, and any projections or valuation information were considered with their stated assumptions and limitations.

2. Business Purpose and Board Determinations

RESOLVED, that the Board determines that a carefully controlled Liquidity Program may further the Company鈥檚 interests by [SUPPORTING FOUNDER OR EMPLOYEE RETENTION; ALLOWING LIMITED DIVERSIFICATION; REDUCING UNSANCTIONED TRANSFER ACTIVITY; ACCOMMODATING INVESTOR DEMAND; ALIGNING WITH A FINANCING; OTHER], subject to the safeguards in these resolutions;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board considered alternatives, including no program, an issuer repurchase, a broader tender process, a primary financing with a secondary component, individual bilateral approvals and a later liquidity event, and determined that the selected structure is appropriate under the facts presented;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that authorization does not establish a stock valuation, promise equal liquidity to every holder, recommend an investment, guarantee a buyer, or require the Company to repeat or expand the program.

3. Program Parameters

3.1 Aggregate and Individual Limits

RESOLVED, that the aggregate number or value of shares transferred under the Liquidity Program may not exceed [NUMBER / DOLLAR AMOUNT / PERCENTAGE OF FULLY DILUTED CAPITALIZATION], and no seller may transfer more than [LIMIT], in each case subject to the retention and concentration rules in Exhibit A;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that a selling founder or continuing service provider must retain at least [NUMBER / PERCENTAGE] of [VESTED / TOTAL] equity after Closing, unless the Board or disinterested committee approves an exception based on documented circumstances and receives counsel advice regarding incentive, disclosure and equal-treatment implications.

3.2 Eligible Sellers

RESOLVED, that eligible sellers are those objectively described in Exhibit A and approved by the Authorized Officers after verification of record ownership, vesting, service status, transfer compliance, policy compliance, tax forms and absence of disqualifying liens or disputes;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that exclusion or reduction criteria must be consistently applied and documented, while permitting distinctions reasonably based on role, tenure, retention needs, contractual rights, legal constraints, available demand or capitalization effects.

3.3 Eligible Purchasers

RESOLVED, that a purchaser must satisfy the Company-approved investor, beneficial-ownership, sanctions, KYC, competitive-conflict, concentration and contractual-joinder criteria; provide the required representations; and be acceptable under the Company Documents and applicable law;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that no broker, finder, platform or intermediary may be engaged without written legal and regulatory review of its role, licensing, compensation, conflicts, cybersecurity and communications.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that any material change to price, consideration or side arrangements after rights notices are issued requires renewed analysis of notices, ROFR and co-sale processes, disclosure and approvals.

4. Contractual Transfer Rights

RESOLVED, that no transaction may close unless counsel confirms satisfaction, expiration, exercise or valid waiver of all applicable ROFR, first-offer, co-sale, drag, voting, information, preemptive, lock-up, market-standoff, repurchase, plan, lender and other rights identified in Exhibit C;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that Company administration of a right does not authorize the Company to waive a right held by another person, and every waiver must be obtained from the actual holder under the applicable amendment or waiver standard;

5. Securities, Tender-Offer and Regulatory Review

RESOLVED, that each transaction must have a documented federal and state securities-law basis approved by counsel, and purchaser accreditation or sophistication shall not be treated as sufficient by itself;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that before launch or any material program change, counsel shall analyze whether the number of offerees, common terms, Company involvement, timing, communications, withdrawal rights or other facts create tender-offer, broker-dealer, exchange, market, investment-company or similar regulatory concerns;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that management shall not broaden the program, advertise it publicly, aggregate buyers or sellers through an unapproved platform, or alter Company participation beyond the structure reviewed by counsel without renewed Board or committee approval if material.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that no seller may disclose Company information except through the approved process, and no employee or director may selectively provide material information outside that process;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that communications must accurately describe Company neutrality, transfer restrictions, risks, fees and the voluntary nature of participation and must not promise price support, liquidity or future Company action.

The committee shall not include a person whose objectivity may reasonably be impaired.]

7.4 No Management Override

8. Transaction Documents and Closing Controls

RESOLVED FURTHER, that no convenience cap-table platform update, signed stock power or pending wire alone constitutes Closing; the authoritative stock ledger must be updated under a verified instruction.

9. Tax, Compensation and Employment Matters

RESOLVED, that participating sellers are responsible for personal tax advice, and management shall not make tax or QSBS assurances beyond factual records approved by counsel;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that tax advisers shall review withholding, reporting, compensation treatment, option or restricted-stock consequences, holding periods, payroll issues and state, local or foreign matters before Closing;
