I am looking for a way to reward the investors willing to put the first money in, I want to solve this problem:

Here is what others have done to help jump start:

Before the IPO, offer shares at a discount off the IPO price. Example. Your shares sell for .15 so you could have offered investors an opportunity to purchase at .14 per share. Perhaps even a better discount for multiples of 100 shares. It brings in less BTC but it can really jump start a new IPO.
Unfortunately, the IPO trigger has already been pulled so doing this is a bit more difficult.

You can still do this. But you would have to take down most of your 49K+ ask wall in GLBSE.
Next, advertise here in this thread that you plan to offer shares to investors at some discount.
Set a deadline date. At the deadline, pay a dividend to the existing shareholders for the difference.
For example, if you offered .14 per share and investors on GLBSE already bought in at .15--give them a .01 special dividend.

Once you have offers for share, you can use the GLBSE asset transfer feature to distribute the shares.

No matter what you do, make sure you have your revised mining plan posted in the OP.
Make sure you explain your "special sale of shares," if you want to do this, in the OP as well.

I would like to create a better "out clause" that is fair to everyone involved should we choose to wind the company down.
- would love your thoughts and opinions on this

Since this is a company then my statement in the other thread still stands. Sell the company, equipment (and your founder shares) to someone who wants to take over. Or motion to liquidate equipment and distribute all remaining BTC to the shareholders.

The other "out clause" is only needed in a perpetual bond.
