Awaiting legal review
This is the agreed outline, not the executed document. The operative text has to be drafted and reviewed against the confirmed operating entity and jurisdiction — neither of which is settled — so no clause here should be relied on. Publishing plausible-sounding legal text would be worse than publishing the outline honestly.
