A few notes from reading these documents.
I see that all payments and recoupment thresholds are defined in USD terms. So depending on price of any tokens at the time of payment, the DAO may receive more or fewer number of tokens than it pays. Since the obligations are in USD, it may be prudent for the DAO treasury to adopt a stable-coin strategy to reduce risk of token valuation during the contract life cycle.. Particularly in light of the next note...
3.2 (e) "Shortfall Make-Good" : Is this essential? This clause effectively means the DAO is writing 48-hour PUT OPTIONS without compensation, on every single payment for 2 years. This adds a non-zero level of risk and operational burden if SMC determines they want to execute this clause every time there are fluctuations in token value.
Taxes. The DAO is acknowledging that it is responsible for its own taxes under the revenue sharing agreement. This agreement is under Delaware law. Is there risk that the agreement brings the DAO under US jursidiction for Tax? I don't know the answer, just asking the question in case the DAO needs independent tax advice?
