Guiding Principles

MUSE0 DAO GUIDING PRINCIPLES

These guiding principles (the "Agreement") are entered into by and amongst members of MUSE0 DAO, an unincorporated nonprofit association organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the "DAO" or "Muse0"). The following terms apply when you click to view or access DAO's Dapp or DAO's other online services, donate or transfer an NFT to DAO, become a Member of DAO, receive DAO Tokens, hold Governance Rights for Muse0, interact with or access Muse0's smart contracts in any way, provide services to Muse0, donate or transfer any property to Muse0, or otherwise interact with or access Muse0's services through the Dapp. By doing any of the above, you signify your agreement to these terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the Agreement in its entirety, you may not access, interact with, or use Muse0. Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 17.

1. Organization.

(a) Formation. Muse0 was formed on June 9, 2021. The obligations of members of the DAO shall be determined pursuant to the Revised Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act of 2008 (the "Act"), NRS §§ 81.700 to 81.890 inclusive, and this Agreement.

(b) Purpose. The primary purpose of the DAO is to build and create an Internet-native museum focused on the curation and preservation of non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"). The DAO shall have the power to do any and all acts appropriate, convenient, desirable, incidental, or necessary to or in furtherance of the purposes described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all of the powers that may be exercised on behalf of the DAO by its members. The DAO shall not engage in profit-making activities. Any profits that are incidentally accrued or earned from any of the DAO's activities will be used or set aside for the DAO's nonprofit purposes.

2. Membership; Governance Rights and Tokens; Limitations.

(a) Governance Rights. Governance Rights in the DAO are represented by cryptographically secured tokens ("Tokens"), with each Token representing a fractional part of the Governance Rights of all Members (or assignees, as the case may be) equal to the quotient of one (1) divided by the total number of Tokens claimed at any time.

(b) Tokens. As of the date hereof, there shall be Twenty One Million (21,000,000) Tokens authorized to represent membership interests in the DAO. The DAO shall provide to each Member Ten Thousand (10,000) Tokens for each NFT donated to the DAO, unless otherwise agreed to by the Members via a vote occurring through the Dapp. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the DAO shall provide members of Flamingo DAO, LLC and members of its technical partners Ten Thousand (10,000) Tokens each for their role in conceiving and supporting the DAO.

(c) Governance Rights and Token Limitations. Governance Rights and the governance Tokens provide no possibility of profits and losses, no rights to distributions and dividends, and no rights to ownership or management of the DAO. Each Member (or assignees, as the case may be) that receives or holds governance Tokens expressly and unequivocally agrees that the Tokens provide no rights to profits and/or losses, that the Tokens do not entitle their holder to distributions or dividends, and that the Tokens do not make their holder an owner or manager of the DAO.

3. Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Member (or former Member) shall be liable for the obligations of the DAO, including any obligations owed by such Member in connection with any breach of this Agreement. A debt, obligation, or other liability of the DAO is solely the debt, obligation, or other liability of the DAO. Members (or former Members) are not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the DAO solely by reason of being or acting as a Member. A Person's status as a Member does not prevent or restrict law other than the Act from imposing liability on the Person because of the Person's conduct. The failure of the DAO to observe formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its activities and affairs is not a ground for imposing liability on a Member of the DAO for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the DAO.

(b) Member Limitations. No Member shall have the right or power: (i) to cause the dissolution and winding up of the DAO; or (ii) to demand or receive property, including any NFTs donated to the DAO, except as agreed to by the Members or otherwise provided herein.

4. Admission of Additional Members.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Members are authorized to accept additional donations from one or more Members, and to admit other Persons to the DAO as additional Members (each such additional Member and such existing Member an "Additional Member"). Unless otherwise determined by the Members, any such Additional Members shall be admitted to the DAO only if such Member or Additional Member makes a donation via the Dapp.

(b) Accession to Agreement. Each Person who is to be admitted as an Additional Member pursuant to this Agreement shall agree to be bound by this Agreement.

5. Management.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly required in this Agreement, the affairs of the DAO shall be carried on and managed exclusively by the Members, who shall have sole and absolute discretion with respect thereto. No Member shall be a manager, as defined under the Act.

(b) Whenever any action, including any approval, consent, decision, determination, or resolution is to be taken or given by the Members or the DAO under this Agreement or under the Act, it shall be authorized by a vote of the Members via the Dapp, unless otherwise provided herein. Such an authorization may be evidenced by a vote facilitated via the Dapp and one or more smart contracts, or by a written consent, in accordance with this Agreement. The Members intend that any action (which has been duly approved in accordance with this Agreement) taken by the DAO via a Dapp, a smart contract, or the blockchain shall be a valid action of the Members or the DAO, as applicable, and no Member shall challenge the authority or validity of any such action based solely on such fact.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly required in this Agreement or in the Act, no single Member (in their capacity as a Member) shall have authority to bind the DAO in any way or to enter into any agreement or contract obligating the DAO in any way unless approved via a vote occurring through the Dapp.

(d) To the extent that the Members have approved a document in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Act, any Member can be expressly hereby authorized to execute and deliver such document on behalf of the DAO.

(e) Members may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the Member with regards to the DAO pursuant to the Dapp.

(f) The DAO has the right to delegate certain technical or administrative responsibilities to third parties and provide them with reasonable compensation.

(g) Reliance by Third Parties. Persons dealing with the DAO are entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the Members (and any Person to whom the Members delegated any such power and authority pursuant to this Agreement).

(h) Other Activities. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that in addition to transactions specifically contemplated by this Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the Members, the DAO, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives are each hereby authorized to obtain property or obtain services from, to provide property or provide services to, or otherwise enter into any transaction with any Member, or any Affiliate or Representative of any of the foregoing Persons.

6. Withdrawal Rights; Compulsory Withdrawal.

(a) Limited Right to Withdraw. A Member may withdraw at any time by transferring its Tokens to a third party. Such withdrawal shall be facilitated and executed, in part, using one or more smart contracts and shall be effective as of the date of transfer. Any withdrawal is irrevocable.

(b) Compulsory Withdrawal. Not in limitation of Section 6(a), the Members acting by vote via the Dapp may cause a Member to be compulsorily withdrawn from the DAO to the extent that such Members, in their reasonable discretion, determine it to be necessary, desirable, or appropriate, including, without limitation, to comply with applicable law or regulations, or to avoid a material adverse effect on the DAO or the other Members. For the avoidance of doubt–the Member proposed to be compulsorily withdrawn shall be entitled to vote with respect to any vote of the Members regarding such compulsory withdrawal.

7. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Organizational Expenses. The DAO shall bear all of its organizational expenses and costs, and may amortize these expenses for accounting and/or tax purposes.

(b) Operating Expenses.

(i) The DAO shall bear all costs and expenses relating to its activities, maintenance, and operations, including, without limitation, all fees, expenses, and costs associated (directly or indirectly) with the acquiring, holding, monitoring, and sourcing of NFTs and any extraordinary expenses (including, without limitation, litigation-related and indemnification expenses), legal, regulatory, research, consulting, compliance, auditing, accounting, and other professional fees and expenses, the costs of any administrator, the costs of any reporting to Members, expenses of any administrative proceedings undertaken by the applicable Member in its capacity, expenses incurred in connection with the dissolution, liquidation, and termination of the DAO, and other expenses related to the DAO as determined by the Members by a vote via the Dapp (collectively, and together with organizational expenses, the "DAO Expenses").

(ii) DAO Expenses shall be allocated to and funded by the DAO.

8. Distributions; Dividends; Compensation; Sale of NFTs.

(a) The DAO shall not make any distributions of any kind and it will not pay dividends of any kind.

(b) The DAO may pay reasonable compensation or reimburse reasonable expenses to a Member or third-party for services rendered, confer benefits on a Member or third party in conformity with its nonprofit purposes, repurchase a membership and repay a capital contribution made by a Member to the extent authorized by this Agreement, or make distributions of property to Members upon winding up and termination to the extent permitted by this Agreement.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by Members via a Majority Vote, the DAO shall not sell any donated NFTs.

9. Dissolution.

(a) General. The DAO shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest to occur of:

(i) a determination of the Members by Majority Vote; or

(ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to the Act.

(b) At dissolution, the DAO shall determine how to dispose of any assets via a vote in the Dapp.

10. Limitations on Transfers.

(a) Transfers. Governance Rights and Tokens are not transferable, except to other members. Members may vote to allow or disallow the ability of Members to transfer their Governance Rights and/or Tokens by a vote facilitated via the Dapp. Tokens may become freely transferable to Ethereum addresses outside of the DAO ("External Addresses") by a vote of the Members. In the event the Tokens become freely transferable to External Addresses, you agree that holders of the External Address shall automatically be granted Membership rights, subject to this Agreement.

(b) Admission of Substituted Members. If the transferee is not already a Member, any transferee of Tokens transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be admitted as a Member. The DAO shall not recognize for any purpose any purported transfer of all or any part of a Member's interest or Tokens in the DAO, and no purchaser, assignee, transferee, or other recipient of all or any part of such Tokens shall become a Member hereunder unless:

(c) The transferee of Tokens transferred pursuant to this Section that is admitted to the DAO as a transferee Member shall succeed to the rights and liabilities of the transferor Member with respect to such transferred Tokens.

(d) Effect of Death, Dissolution, or Bankruptcy. Upon the death, incompetence, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or dissolution of a Member, the rights and obligations of that Member under this Agreement shall accrue to that Member's successor(s), estate, or legal representative, and each such Person shall be treated as an unadmitted transferee of that Member's Tokens, as described in the Act.

11. Books and Records; Accounting and Tax Matters. The DAO shall not be obligated to keep any books or records beyond what is made available via the Dapp or available via the Ethereum blockchain.

12. Waiver of Fiduciary Duties.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Section, in the event that any Member initiates any Proceeding against the DAO and a judgment or order not subject to further appeal or discretionary review is rendered in respect of such Proceeding, as the case may be, such Member shall be solely liable for all costs and expenses related to the Proceeding.

(b) Limitation by Law. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to provide for the indemnification for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but instead shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions thereof to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(c) Waiver of Fiduciary Duties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise of applicable law, including any in equity or at law, no Member shall have any fiduciary duty to the DAO or to any Member by reason of this Agreement or in its capacity as a Member, except that the Members shall be subject to the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Members otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Members. Members will exercise any rights under this Agreement consistent with this Agreement.

13. Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Grant of Rights. Members that join the DAO via a donation of an NFT grant to the DAO a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license and right, and all ancillary and subsidiary rights therein and thereto, throughout the world, to use, edit, modify, include, incorporate, adapt, record, reproduce, display, and archive any copyrightable work associated with an NFT (the "Work") in any manner whatsoever, in or out of context, by any and all means and/or devices and in any and all media now or known hereafter–all in connection with the production, exhibition, distribution, exploitation, advertising, marketing, publicity, and promotion of the DAO and its museum. The term of this license begins whenever an NFT is donated to the DAO by a Person entering into this Agreement as a member or is subsequently admitted as a member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i.e., any and all Members).

(b) Reservation of Rights. All rights in a donated NFT not specifically granted to the DAO here are reserved by the donating Member. Specifically, the DAO acknowledges that its use of the Work will not affect the Member's continued and separate copyright ownership in the Work, and that the Member may use and license others to use the Work otherwise and elsewhere.

(c) Representations and Warranties, Indemnification. The Member represents and warrants that it is the owner of the entirety of the rights in and to the Work and that the Member has the full authorization and authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the licenses herein. No other rights, permissions, or consents are necessary for the DAO to use the Work in accordance with the licenses granted herein, and no fees, royalties, or use payments of any kind are due to the Member or third parties in connection with the exercise of the licenses granted herein. The Member guarantees that the Work does not infringe any copyright or trademark, and that the Work does not violate any privacy, personal, proprietary, common law, or statutory right, of any Person. Licensor shall indemnify and hold Licensee (and its agents, Affiliates, assigns, heirs, or other successors in interest) harmless from any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any claim, lawsuit, or demand which is inconsistent with or arises out of warranties or representations in this Section.

14. Amendments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement may be amended only with the prior consent of Members acting by a vote via the Dapp.

Muse0 shall have the right to provide the Service Provider with reasonable compensation.

(b) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any Service Provider of Muse0 shall not be liable for any error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any loss suffered by the DAO, its Members, Persons affiliated with the DAO or its Members, or third parties in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates or for any services provided by the Service Provider, except for a loss resulting from the Service Provider's willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Furthermore, the Service Provider shall not be liable for: (i) any action taken or omitted in accordance with or in reliance upon written or oral instructions, advice, data, documents, or information (without investigation or verification) received by the Service Provider from any Person; (ii) any liability arising from the transfer or use of any Governance Rights or Tokens, including with respect to matters arising under applicable laws or private rights of action; or (iii) any action taken or omitted by the DAO, its Members, any affiliated Persons of the DAO or its Members, or any third party.

16. General Provisions.

(a) Notices. Subject to Section 5, all notices required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be effective only if sent by electronic mail or other form of electronic communication through the Dapp. In computing the period of time for the giving of any notice, the day on which the notice is given shall be excluded, and the day on which the matter noticed is to occur shall be included. If notice is given by electronic means, it shall be deemed given when sent; provided, that the sending party does not have reason to believe that such notice was not delivered.

(b) Further Assurance. Each Member agrees to perform all further acts and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document (including tax forms and information) that may reasonably be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the principles of choice or conflicts of laws thereof that would require that this Agreement be governed by the laws of another state. Each of the parties hereto consents and agrees to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Nevada, and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein, and agrees that any dispute concerning the conduct of any party in connection with this Agreement shall be heard only in the courts described above.
