TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Effective 1/1/2024

1. The following are the Merritt Workspace Terms and Conditions that apply to
   the Merritt Workspace Agreement. Even if you are not the primary signer,
   all members of your company or organization must adhere to these Terms and
   Conditions.

2. Each member's primary workspace is based on the selected membership
   package, Private Office or Dedicated Desk.

3. Terms and Conditions are subject to change. The most current Terms and
   Conditions are always available from the Merritt Workspace Management with
   an email request. Any potential changes to the Terms and Conditions will
   be emailed to Members upon implementation. Merritt Workspace Management
   retains the right to implement changes necessary for the continued
   efficient operations and the safety and security of all its Members.

4. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION POLICY.

   (a) Initial Payment Structure. Upon execution of the Member Agreement,
       Member shall remit payment for both (i) the first month of
       membership (prorated from the start date through the end of the
       start month) and (ii) one (1) full month of membership fees, which
       shall be held by Merritt Workspace as the "Last Month's Membership
       Fee" (also referred to as the "Security Deposit" or "Last Month
       Deposit"). The Last Month's Membership Fee is applied to the
       Member's final month of membership upon proper cancellation in
       accordance with this Section 4.

   (b) Required Notice. To cancel a membership, Member must provide
       Merritt Workspace with written notice of cancellation no fewer
       than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the intended last day of
       membership ("Cancellation Notice"). Cancellation Notice must be
       delivered by (i) email to memberservices@merrittworkspace.net,
       (ii) letter sent to Merritt Workspace, 2246 Irving St., Denver,
       CO 80211, or (iii) the in-portal "Cancel membership" function,
       which constitutes written notice for purposes of this Section.

       Effective Date of Termination. For administrative and billing
       consistency, termination shall be effective on the last day of
       the calendar month immediately following the Member's then-
       current paid-for billing period (i.e., the calendar month for
       which the next monthly invoice would otherwise have been
       issued). In substantially all cases this satisfies or exceeds
       the thirty (30) day notice requirement. Member's access to the
       Workspace shall continue through, and shall cease at the end
       of, said effective date.

   (c) Application of Last Month's Membership Fee. Provided that Member
       has delivered timely Cancellation Notice in accordance with
       Section 4(b), Member shall NOT be invoiced or charged for the
       final month of membership. The Last Month's Membership Fee
       previously collected at sign-up shall be applied as a credit
       against the final month's recurring invoice such that said
       invoice nets to zero dollars ($0.00), and no additional monthly
       payment shall be charged to Member's payment method on file for
       that month.

   (d) Forfeiture for Insufficient Notice. If Member fails to provide a
       full thirty (30) days' written notice as required by Section
       4(b)—including, without limitation, immediate or "same-day"
       cancellation, abandonment of the Workspace, or any cancellation
       effective sooner than thirty (30) days after the date Cancellation
       Notice is received by Merritt Workspace—Member hereby agrees and
       acknowledges that Merritt Workspace shall be entitled to retain
       the entirety of the Last Month's Membership Fee as liquidated
       damages, and Member shall have no right to any refund, credit, or
       offset of said fee. The parties agree that actual damages from
       insufficient notice would be difficult to ascertain and that the
       Last Month's Membership Fee represents a reasonable estimate of
       such damages.

   (e) Inspection Right and Additional Charges. Commencing on the first
       (1st) day following Merritt Workspace's receipt of Cancellation
       Notice and continuing through and including the last day of
       membership, Merritt Workspace shall have the unrestricted right,
       in its sole discretion and upon reasonable notice to Member, to
       enter and inspect the Workspace and any associated areas
       previously assigned to or used by Member, for the purposes of
       (i) assessing the condition of the Workspace, furniture,
       equipment, and fixtures, (ii) documenting any damage, excessive
       wear, missing items, or required cleaning beyond ordinary use,
       and (iii) determining and assessing any additional charges,
       restoration costs, housekeeping fees, lost-key fees, or other
       sums for which Member is liable under this Agreement. Merritt
       Workspace reserves the right to invoice Member for any such
       additional charges, and Member authorizes Merritt Workspace to
       charge any payment method on file for the assessed amounts.

   (f) Return of Property. All furniture, equipment, keys, file
       cabinets, access devices, and any other item or device provided
       by Merritt Workspace must be returned to Merritt Workspace on or
       before the last day of membership. Member will be invoiced for
       any lost or damaged equipment, keys, or access devices. All keys
       and access devices must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours
       of the last day of membership or a $250.00 fee per item will be
       assessed.

   (g) Post-Departure Inspection. Notwithstanding Section 4(e), Merritt
       Workspace shall additionally have thirty (30) days following the
       Member's full departure from the Workspace to conduct a final
       inspection, assess any charges due to damage or other Member
       liability, and to process any final accounting. Any sums owed
       beyond the Last Month's Membership Fee shall be invoiced to
       Member and are due upon receipt.

5. Early Termination: Merritt Workspace reserves the right to immediately
   terminate any Member or their employees, vendors or guests that do not
   follow Merritt Workspace Terms and Conditions; act in a manner that is
   disrespectful to other Members, their employees or guests, or Merritt
   Workspace Team; treat Merritt Workspace and other Members information in
   an unethical manner; or otherwise show disruptive or harassing behavior.
   Merritt Workspace may terminate any membership at the end of its term by
   providing immediate notice to the Member.

6. Month-to-Month Termination. Members on month-to-month terms may
   terminate by providing written thirty (30) day notice in accordance
   with Section 4. Early termination of longer-term packages by Member
   may be considered on a case-by-case basis by Merritt Workspace, but
   in all cases the notice and forfeiture provisions of Section 4 shall
   apply.

7. Member Default. If the Member does not pay the entire invoice by the 1st
   of the Month following invoicing or defaults on any other Terms and
   Conditions, the Member will be subject to termination and collection
   actions. Merritt Workspace will make every effort to resolve this issue
   with the Member to avoid declaring default and will not take any
   termination or collections actions until three (3) days following delivery
   of written notice via US Mail. If the Member has not contacted Merritt
   Workspace and made arrangements to cure the default, within 3 days of
   receiving the notice, Merritt Workspace may discontinue service and
   restrict Members access to all Workspace services.

   Late payment policy: If payment is not received by the 5th, a charge of
   20% of the outstanding balance will be assessed. For every 5 days
   following, an additional $200 will be incurred.

   Member may be reactivated, at the discretion of Merritt Workspace,
   following payment of all invoices and fees owed plus a reactivation fee
   of $200.00.

8. Work Space Abandonment. Work Spaces will be deemed abandoned if no
   payment or communication with the Merritt Workspace Management is made
   within 14 days of the invoice due date. Should a Workspace be deemed
   abandoned, all contents will be disposed of as allowable by Colorado law
   and the space will be reallocated to a new member.

9. Reassignment. Member Agreement may not be reassigned by the Member for
   any reason.

10. Workspace Control. The agreement made between the Member and Merritt
    Workspace constitutes a serviced Workspace agreement, not a lease.
    Merritt Workspace retains overall control of the Workspace and may
    transfer the benefit of your agreement and our obligations under it at
    any time. Member has no real-property interest of any kind in the
    Workspace.

11. Use of the Workspace. The Merritt Workspace is subject to the rules and
    regulations of the building landlord and all business operations are
    subject to these requirements. All physical property remains under the
    control of Merritt Workspace and as such, the Merritt Workspace
    Management may enter any Workspaces at any time without express
    permission of the Member. We respect your privacy and that of your data,
    files and belongings, therefore Merritt Workspace Management will only
    enter your Workspace in the case of emergency or for cleaning or
    maintenance.

    The Workspace is intended to be used solely for office use. You cannot
    store or operate in the Workspace any large business machines,
    reproduction equipment, heating equipment, stove, radio, stereo
    equipment or other mechanical amplification equipment, vending or coin
    operated machine, refrigerator or coffee equipment. Additionally, you

    Firearms are strictly prohibited.

    Members are responsible for keeping a clean and tidy work area. Merritt
    Workspace members outside of semi-permanent spaces are required to
    clear work surfaces at the end of each day, as Workspaces may be used
    for APPROVED after-hours private events.

12. Use of Brand and Workspace. You may not use the name "Merritt Workspace"
    or the specific brand name in connection with your business. You cannot
    use the Workspace as your registered address for legal process service.

13. Workspace Location. Merritt Workspace may, at any time, add additional
    Workspace locations.

14. Confidentiality. The terms of your agreement are confidential and may
    not be disclosed by Merritt Workspace or you without express written
    consent of either party, unless required by a legal authority.

15. Modifications to any Agreement. Any agreement may only be modified via
    written agreement between Merritt Workspace and the Member. If any
    terms of any agreement are deemed invalid or unenforceable, the
    remainder of the agreement will not be affected.

16. Indemnity. The Member hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold
    harmless Merritt Workspace, against any claims, demands, fines,
    actions, orders, and judgments of any kind and from and against any and
    all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting
    from loss of life, bodily or personal injury or property damage
    arising, directly or indirectly, out of or on account of any occurrence
    at the Workspace or occasioned wholly or in part through the use of the
    Workspace by the Member or by an act of omission or negligence of the
    Member or its employees, agents or contractors, unless and except any
    such loss or damage caused by the willful misconduct or gross
    negligence of Merritt Workspace. In the event Merritt Workspace is made
    party to any legal action by reason of the Member's interest in the
    Workspace or in the event Merritt Workspace commences legal action
    relating to the Workspace and/or Member's use thereof, the Member will
    be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by Merritt Workspace as a
    result thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

    of the State of Colorado.
