AGENDA
8:50 AM - WELCOME

9:00 AM BREAKFAST PROGRAM
Sponsored by: LORE and Muhlenberg College
Title: "Terms and Term Sheets: How they work.... or don't work"



AVF presents a practical approach to negotiating a term sheet from both the entrepreneur's and investor's perspective. The moderator of our morning program will ask the investors to negotiate a term sheet amongst themselves with specific attention provided to various sides of such terms as options, valuation, liquidation preferences and board provisions. However, the twist is that some investor members of the panel will be asked to take the role of the entrepreneur while others remain in the role of investor in this negotiations. In the process, the audience can see how terms may be interpreted, misinterpreted, manipulated or negotiated in a way that serves the needs of both parties. All members of the audience will receive a copy of the term sheet which will be used for this mock deal. Members of the audience may follow along or participate in providing input to the process through the panel moderator. This is one program you don't want to miss.

Moderator: Peter S. Linder, Chairman, LORE Associates
