Not at all.
You invite my participation, and subsequent supporting arguments - in support of my investment. I mean no disrespect personally. However, if your desire is to say this company/product/investment sucks, I'll tell you why I think it doesn't.
If you wouldn't make comments and present disingenuous, and incomplete information, then I wouldn't have to make countless points regarding your unequivocal lack of objectivity during your efforts to tarnish the potential of this great company, and product.
Give it up. Let "this" what ever it becomes play out, and I won't have a purpose or incentive to point out what I believe are highly possible reasons that this is a unique company, very special product, with a highly likely amazing future, with full disclosure supporting arguments.
You make it sound like I, or take your pick from any of the other posters, have created those redactions. The redactions are there b/c MDT required them. WHY? It must be for a very strategic purpose, otherwise they wouldn't exist. MDT spent a lot of time, effort, and money to put those agreements together in their present form.
Legalese are the tools used by lawyers, to sculpt and craft a document to keep the intent of the agreement within specific boundaries. Boundaries are the "tell" of the true purpose for their existence. There's no benefit to TMDI to redact anything. So I conclude it wasn't TMDI's requirement. There's another supporting argument. MDT didn't put them in there to be coy. If MDT doesn't want Titan, then WHY did they put a loan payoff provision in a development agreement, from which all of Titan's IP is put up for collateral, and the loan can't be paid off before the last mutually agreed upon milestone? Those are ridiculous terms, that are so far out of bounds from a reasonable purpose, or intent, to pay off a loan. And where's the early payoff provision? Titan would want to get out from under the collateral immediately. THAT MAKES NO SENSE. So again, I conclude that MDT wants to tie up Titan for no other reason than to buy an extended period of time, by which Titan can't make a definitive move to partner or become a division of another competitor. Titan would only benefit by getting out from under the agreement(s) as soon as possible - and that's not the intent of these provisions. So MDT has a purpose to keep Titan away from any other company. You tell my why?
I respect an opinion and enjoy a well supported argument. At least make an attempt to present a logical conclusion. How many companies has MDT done a partnership with, and then acquired them? More than 60 out of 65? Please correct my statistics for an accurate representation of their business model.
I am not absolutely positive of this outcome. But I am absolutely positive about understanding and executing contracts. I deal with all levels of government every day. 30 years of government business and contracts experience means I have a unique perspective based on what I read, and the possibilities. All of which do not include redactions.
MDT is just dating TMDI. No engagement or wedding bells yet. But MDT has done this dance many, many times. They're here, looking for ways to increase revenue for the next 20-30 years. IMO.
Good luck to all. Regards,BK.
