I suggest you see your attorney and get that straightened out.I've been point stuff out here for a few years now and sometimes what comes back from investors is that they had their deal approved or blessed by their attorney, so I'll head that off if that's the case, if some attorney approved that, find another attorney.I'd say you're a creative guy, a real salesman, talented in the art of negotiation perhaps, but you should not be writing notes, it's not the wild west and things surface in time, so be careful out there. :)
