City Leader Agreement

Founders Live

2023

This volunteer agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on Semarang, between Tri
Wahyudi and Founders Live Media Inc., a Washington
corporation (the “Organization”).

This Agreement is a description of the arrangement between the Organization and the City Leader
in relation to your work promoting the Organization and its events in your city. The Organization
appreciates your contributions to our mission, and we are committed to ensuring that your
experience is positive and rewarding.

1. Opportunity
The City Leader’s role will be to organize, coordinate, and execute the Organization’s
frequent Founders Live events in the City Leader’s city, virtually or in person when
appropriate. The City Leader’s contributions are intended to inspire entrepreneurial activity
and grow the Organization’s mission and brand.

2. Compensation; Revenue Share


In exchange for the City Leader’s time and efforts, the Organization will pay the City Leader
a percentage of revenue from Founders Live events according to the following terms:

2.1. Revenue Share Program


For each Founders Live event the City Leader organizes, attends, and leads during
the term of this Agreement, Founders Live will send to the City Leader 80% of cash
receipts the Organization receives from ticket sales and local sponsorship originating
from city leader’s specific city, minus any fees associated with ticket sales (the
“Revenue Share”) placed on the company provided Founders Live Debit Card. The
remaining 20% of case receipts from such events will go to Founders Live Media Inc.
to be used for operational expenses.

The City Leader has discretion of how to spend the funds allocated to the City
Leader’s Founder Live Debit Card, including using the funds for the City Leader’s
own personal expenses. If an event is not producing the revenue to sustain itself,
Founder Live will complete a review of the event and its leadership, and will make
changes as it sees fit.

2.2. Payment terms


The Organization will send funds to the City Leader’s Founders Live Debit Card
within 10 days after each Founders Live event.

her Founders Live Debit Card for such expenses.

3. Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party written notice at
least 15 days prior to the next Founders Live event in the City Leader’s city. Upon
termination, both parties’ obligations under this Agreement will terminate, and the City
