Future FinTech Group Inc., a Florida corporation (“Company”),
and Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership, its successors
and/or assigns (“Investor”) (Company and Investor, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).


 


A. Company and Investor
are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


 


B. Investor desires
to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Secured Convertible
Promissory Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of $1,070,000.00 (the “Note”),
convertible into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Company (the “Common Stock”), upon the
terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note.


 


C. This Agreement,
the Note, the Pledge Agreement (as defined below), the Investor Note (as defined below), and all other certificates, documents,
agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended
from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.


 


D. For purposes of
this Agreement: “Conversion Shares” means all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or any
portion of the Note; and “Securities” means the Note and the Conversion Shares.


 


NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:


 


1. Purchase and
Sale of Securities.


 


1.1. Purchase of Securities.
Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor shall purchase from Company the Note. In consideration thereof, Investor
shall pay (i) the amount designated as the initial cash purchase price on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Initial
Cash Purchase Price”), and (ii) issue to Company the Investor Note (the sum of the initial principal amount of the Investor
Note, together with the Initial Cash Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price, the OID (as
defined below), and the Transaction Expense Amount (as defined below) are allocated to the Tranches (as defined in the Note) of
the Note as set forth in the table attached hereto as Exhibit B.


 


1.2. Form of Payment.
On the Closing Date (as defined below), (i) Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company by delivering the following at the
Closing: (A) the Initial Cash Purchase Price, which shall be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S.
Dollars to Company, in accordance with Company’s written wiring instructions; and (B) an Investor Note in the principal amount
of $500,000.00 duly executed by Investor and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Investor
Note”); and (ii) Company shall deliver the duly executed Note on behalf of Company, to Investor, against delivery of
such Purchase Price.

1.3. Closing Date.
Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below, the date of the issuance
and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be March 26, 2019, or another mutually
agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur
on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of signed .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred
at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.


 


1.4. Collateral for
the Note. The Note shall be secured by the collateral set forth in that certain Stock Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
D whereby Mengyao Chen, an individual (“Pledgor”), is pledging 2,500,000 shares of Company’s Common
Stock (the “Pledged Shares”) as security for Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents (the
“Pledge Agreement”).


 


1.5. Collateral for
Investor Note. Initially, the Investor Note will not be secured, but the Investor Note may become secured subsequent to the
Closing by such collateral and at such time as determined by Investor in its sole discretion. In the event Investor desires to
secure the Investor Note, Company shall timely execute any and all amendments and documents and take such other measures requested
by Investor that are necessary or advisable in order for the Investor to properly secure the Investor Note for the benefit of the
Company. The Initial Cash Purchase Price shall be the Purchase Price less the sum of the initial principal amounts of the Investor
Note.


 


1.6. Original Issue
Discount; Transaction Expense Amount. The Note carries an original issue discount of $50,000.00 (the “OID”).
In addition, Company agrees to pay $20,000.00 to Investor to cover Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence,
monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Transaction
Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Note. The “Purchase
Price”, therefore, shall be $1,000,000.00, computed as follows: $1,070,000.00 initial principal balance, less the OID,
less the Transaction Expense Amount. The portions of the OID and the Transaction Expense Amount allocated to the Initial Cash Purchase
Price are set forth on Exhibit B

4. Company Covenants.
Until all of Company’s obligations under all of the Transaction Documents are paid and performed in full, or within the timeframes
otherwise specifically set forth below, Company will at all times comply with the following covenants: (i) so long as Investor
beneficially owns any of the Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined in the Note) thereafter, Company
will timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the
1934 Act, and will take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect
to Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and will not terminate its status as
an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit
such termination; (ii) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (a) NYSE, (b) NASDAQ, (c) OTCQX, or (d)
OTCQB; (iii) when issued, the Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid for and non-assessable, free
and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances; (iv) trading in Company’s Common Stock will not be suspended, halted,
chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease on Company’s principal trading market for a period of more than two (2)
consecutive Trading Days except as trading may be generally suspended on such principal market; (v) Company will not transfer,
assign, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise alienate or encumber the Investor Note in any way without the prior written consent
of Investor, which consent may be given or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion; and (vi) Company will not
make any Variable Security Issuance (as defined below) where Company receives net proceeds of less than $1,000,000.00 from such
Variable Security Issuance, without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s
sole and absolute discretion. For purposes hereof, the term “Variable Security Issuance” means any issuance
of any Company securities that (A) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise, in which
the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the Common Stock, or
(B) are or may become convertible into Common Stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred
stock), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Stock, even if such security only becomes convertible
following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition. For avoidance of doubt, the issuance
of shares of Common Stock under, pursuant to, in exchange for or in connection with any contract or instrument, whether convertible
or not, is deemed a Variable Security Issuance for purposes hereof if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is based
upon or related in any way to the market price of the Common Stock, including, but not limited to, Common Stock issued in connection
with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no issuance of Company equities or securities under existing equity incentive plans shall be deemed to be a Restricted
Issuance.

of any such request the number of shares being held in the Share Reserve is less than three (3) times the number of shares of Common

that the Securities have not been, and may not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from

securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Investor must hold
the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities,
or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Investor acknowledges that Company has no obligation
to register or qualify the Securities for resale. Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification
is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding
period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to Company which are outside of Investor’s control, and which Company
is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.


 


(b) Investor understands
that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may, if the Securities are not registered
or exempt from registration, bear one or all of the following legends:


 


(i) “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE
EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”


 


(ii) Any
legend required by the blue sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate
so legended.


 


8. OFAC; Patriot
Act.


 


8.1. OFAC Certification.
Company certifies that (i) it is not acting on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the
United States Treasury Department, through its Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or otherwise, as a
terrorist, “Specially Designated Nation”, “Blocked Person”, or other banned or blocked person, entity,
nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by OFAC or another department
of the United States government, and (ii) Company is not engaged in this transaction on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating
this transaction on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation.


 


8.2. Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting

8.3. Patriot Act.
Company shall not (i) be or become subject at any time to any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without
limitation, the OFAC) that prohibits or limits Investor from making any advance or extension of credit to Company or from otherwise
conducting business with Company, or (ii) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Company’s identity as may be
requested by Investor at any time to enable Investor to verify Company’s identity or to comply with any applicable law or
regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318. Company shall comply
with all requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter
in effect. Upon Investor’s request from time to time, Company shall certify in writing to Investor that Company’s representations,
warranties and obligations under this Section 8.3 remain true and correct and have not been breached. Company shall immediately
notify Investor in writing if any of such representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or
if Company has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an
event, Company shall comply with all requirements of law and directives of governmental authorities and, at Investor’s request,
provide to Investor copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, governmental authorities
relating to such an event. Company shall also reimburse Investor any expense incurred by Investor, in obtaining any necessary license
from governmental authorities as may be necessary for Investor to enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents, and in complying
with all requirements of law applicable to Investor as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines
imposed upon Investor as a result thereof.


 


9. Miscellaneous.
The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these
terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in
this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.


 


9.1. Arbitration of
Claims. The Parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit H) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties
to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Arbitration
Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 9.3 below may be
pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction
Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties
hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, each Party represents, warrants
and covenants that it has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or
waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient
resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that neither
Party will take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may
rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants regarding the Arbitration Provisions.


 






    6


     


    

 


9.2. Governing Law;
Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that
the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of
the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve
disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction
Documents (and notwithstanding the terms (specifically including any governing law and venue terms) of any transfer agent services
agreement or other agreement between the Transfer Agent and Company, such litigation specifically includes, without limitation
any action between or involving Company and the Transfer Agent under the TA Letter or otherwise related to Investor in any way
(specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction, temporary restraining order,
or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock to Investor for any reason)), each party hereto hereby
(i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake
County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring
any such action (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction, temporary
restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock to Investor for any reason) outside
of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection
that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Finally, Company covenants and agrees
to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor in accordance with Section 9.9 below prior to
bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any person or entity that is not a party
to this Agreement, including without limitation the Transfer Agent) that is related in any way to the Transaction Documents or
any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including without limitation any action brought by Company to enjoin or prevent
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to Investor by the Transfer Agent, and further agrees to timely name Investor as a party
to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 9.2 are material
terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this
Section 9.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.


 


9.3. Specific Performance.
Each Party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage may occur to the other Party (the “Non-defaulting Party”)
in the event that either Party (“Defaulting Party”) fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the Non-defaulting
Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such
other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which the Non-defaulting Party may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically
agrees that following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) for failure to deliver Conversion Shares or failure to pay any
amount when due under the Note (following expiration of any applicable cure periods), Investor shall have the right to seek and
receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its common or preferred stock to
any party unless the Note is being paid in full simultaneously with such issuance. Each Party specifically acknowledges that a
Non-Defaulting Party’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such
leverage would result in irreparable harm to the Non-defaulting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Non-defaulting
Party seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against the Defaulting Party or specific performance of any provision
of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of the Non-defaulting Party under any Transaction Document,
at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents,
nor shall the Non-defaulting Party’s pursuit of an injunction prevent the Non-defaulting Party, under the doctrines of claim
preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate
arbitration.

9.4. Counterparts.
Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another party’s executed
counterpart of a Transaction Document (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original
thereof.


 


9.5. Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of,
this Agreement.


 


9.6. Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then
such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.


 


9.7. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes

Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents.
To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents,
the Transaction Documents shall govern.

Exhibit
H


 


ARBITRATION PROVISIONS


 


1. Dispute Resolution. For purposes
of this Exhibit H, the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, requests
for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies whatsoever arising from,
related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications between the parties
related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation,
failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission, and any statutory
claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions
(defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, a party’s pursuit of an injunction
or other Claim pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions or with a court will not later prevent the party under the doctrines of
claim preclusion, issue preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines from pursuing other Claims in a separate arbitration
in the future. The parties to this Agreement (the “parties”) hereby agree that the Claims may be arbitrated
in one or more Arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions (one for an injunction or injunctions and a separate one for
all other Claims). The term “Claims” specifically excludes a dispute over Calculations. The parties to the Agreement
hereby agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Exhibit H (“Arbitration Provisions”) are
binding on each of them. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or declare the Agreement
(or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable for any reason is subject to these
Arbitration Provisions. These Arbitration Provisions shall also survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. Any capitalized
term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.


 


2. Arbitration. Except as otherwise
provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”) to be conducted exclusively in
Salt Lake County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject to the arbitration appeal right
provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that the award of the arbitrator rendered
pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final and binding upon the parties, (b)
the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded to
the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary
awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection
with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party
resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise provided for in the Note,
“Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest
both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and enforced by any state or federal
court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.


 


3. The Arbitration Act. The parties
hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform Arbitration Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101
et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “Arbitration Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
pursuant to, and to the maximum extent permitted by, Section 105 of the Arbitration Act, in the event of conflict or variation
between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the terms of these Arbitration Provisions
shall control and the parties hereby waive or otherwise agree to vary the effect of all requirements of the Arbitration Act that
may conflict with or vary from these Arbitration Provisions.


 


4. Arbitration Proceedings. Arbitration
between the parties will be subject to the following:


 


4.1 Initiation
of Arbitration. Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate Arbitration by
giving written notice to the other party (“Arbitration Notice”) in the same manner that notice is permitted
under Section 9.9 of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email or fax. Arbitration
will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered to such other party under Section 9.9 of
the Agreement (the “Service Date”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered, and notices may be
given, by email or fax pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Agreement or any other method permitted thereunder. The Arbitration Notice
must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration proceedings. All Claims
in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.


 






    Ex-H-1


     


    

 


4.2 Selection and
Payment of Arbitrator.


 


(a) Within ten (10)
calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three (3) arbitrators that are
designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such
three (3) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Arbitrators”). For the avoidance
of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within five (5) calendar
days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to
Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If
Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator
from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company.


 


(b) If Investor
fails to submit to Company the Proposed Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date pursuant to subparagraph
(a) above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor so designating the Proposed Arbitrators, identify the names of three
(3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written notice to
Investor. Investor may then, within five (5) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its Proposed Arbitrators to Investor,
select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these
Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 5-day period one (1) of the three (3) Proposed Arbitrators
selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three (3) previously selected Proposed Arbitrators by providing
written notice of such selection to Investor.


 


(c) If a Proposed
Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party that selected such
Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date the
chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If all three (3) Proposed
Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process shall begin again in
accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.


 


(d) The date that
the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including via email) delivered to both parties
to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”. If an arbitrator
resigns or is unable to act during the Arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with this Paragraph
4.2 to continue the Arbitration. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals and there is no successor
thereto, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.


 


(e) Subject to
Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, if one
party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject to
the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration
Award.


 


4.3 Applicability
of Certain Utah Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the Utah Rules
of Civil Procedure and the Utah Rules of Evidence. More specifically, the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply, without limitation,
to the filing of any pleadings, motions or memoranda, the conducting of discovery, and the taking of any depositions. The Utah
Rules of Evidence shall apply to any hearings, whether telephonic or in person, held by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is the parties’ intent that the incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede these Arbitration Provisions. In
the event of any conflict between the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure or the Utah Rules of Evidence and these Arbitration Provisions,
these Arbitration Provisions shall control.


 


4.4 Answer and
Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the party initiating
the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not delivered by the
required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator will enter a
default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such notice.
If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent with
the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.


 






    Ex-H-2


     


    

 


4.5 Related Litigation.
The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence concurrent legal proceedings
with any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“Litigation Proceedings”), subject to the
following: (a) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth in the Arbitration
Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (b) so long as the other
party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice, the Litigation Proceedings
will be stayed pending an Arbitration Award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), as applicable) hereunder, (c) if the other
party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration proceedings, then the party initiating
Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered in the Litigation Proceedings,
and (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator (or of the Appeal Panel (defined below)) may be entered
in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act.


 


4.6 Discovery.
Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:


 


(a) Written discovery
will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense thereof, and the written
discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense already pleaded in
the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the standards and limitations
set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings shall also be limited
as follows:


 


(i) To facts
directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.


 


(ii) To
facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome
or less expensive than in the manner requested.


 


(b) No party shall
be allowed (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15) requests for admission
(including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts), or (iv) more than three
(3) depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition. The costs associated with depositions
will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition will submit a notice to the party taking the
deposition of the estimated attorneys’ fees that such party expects to incur in connection with defending the deposition.
If the party defending the deposition fails to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees within five (5) calendar days of its
receipt of a deposition notice, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to the estimated attorneys’ fees.
The party taking the deposition must pay the party defending the deposition the estimated attorneys’ fees prior to taking
the deposition, unless such obligation is deemed to be waived as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If the party
taking the deposition believes that the estimated attorneys’ fees are unreasonable, such party may submit the issue to the
arbitrator for a decision. All depositions will be taken in Utah.


 


(c) All discovery
requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to the arbitrator
and the other party. The party submitting the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests a detailed explanation
of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.
The receiving party will then be allowed, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed discovery requests, to submit
to the arbitrator an estimate of the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to such written discovery requests
and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or
challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, consistent with subparagraph (c) above, the arbitrator will within three (3) calendar
days make a finding as to the likely attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests and issue
an order that (i) requires the requesting party to prepay the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the
discovery requests, and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within
twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. If a party entitled to
submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to discovery requests fails to do so within such 5-day
period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no attorneys’ fees or costs associated with responding to such
discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator)
within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect to such discovery requests. Any party submitting
any written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories, requests for production subpoenas to a party or a
third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated attorneys’ fees and costs, before the responding party
has any obligation to produce or respond to the same, unless such obligation is deemed waived as set forth above.


 






    Ex-H-3


     


    

 


(d) In order to
allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set forth in these
Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards. If a discovery
request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, the
arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request in whole or
in part.


 


(e) Each party
may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the Arbitration
Commencement Date. Each party will be allowed a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain the following: (i) a complete
statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial and the basis and reasons for them; (ii) the expert’s name and qualifications,
including a list of all the expert’s publications within the preceding ten (10) years, and a list of any other cases in which
the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation
to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness
one (1) time for no more than four (4) hours. An expert may not testify in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter
not fairly disclosed in the expert report.


 


4.6 Dispositive
Motions. Each party shall have the right to submit dispositive motions pursuant Rule 12 or Rule 56 of the Utah Rules of Civil
Procedure (a “Dispositive Motion”). The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is not required to,
deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in support (the “Memorandum in Support”) of the
Dispositive Motion. Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver to the
arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (the “Memorandum in Opposition”).
Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the party that submitted the Memorandum
in Support shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition (“Reply
Memorandum”). If the applicable party shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above, or if the
other party fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the applicable party shall lose its right to so deliver
the same, and the Dispositive Motion shall proceed regardless.


 


4.7 Confidentiality.
All information disclosed by either party (or such party’s agents) during the Arbitration process (including without limitation
information disclosed during the discovery process or any Appeal (defined below)) shall be considered confidential in nature. Each
party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents) during the Arbitration
process (including without limitation during the discovery process or any Appeal) unless (a) prior to or after the time of disclosure
such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving
party or its agents, (b) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress to be disclosed if such
receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order
from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure, or (c) such information is disclosed to the receiving party’s
agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not to disclose such information to
any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to issue a
protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon the written request of either
party.


 


4.8 Authorization;
Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other portions of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties hereby authorize and direct
the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for the Arbitration
proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties hereby agree that an Arbitration
Award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. The arbitrator is hereby
authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date in
order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony, and the submission of documents
by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 120-day period.


 






    Ex-H-4


     


    

 


4.9 Relief.
The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any relief which
the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief,
provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.


 


4.10 Fees and Costs.
As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (as determined by the Arbitrator)
to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable
attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid
or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration.


 


5. Arbitration Appeal.


 


5.1 Initiation
of Appeal. Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, either party (the “Appellant”) shall have a period
of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the “Appellee”), in writing, that the Appellant
elects to appeal (the “Appeal”) the Arbitration Award (such notice, an “Appeal Notice”) to
a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below. The date the Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee is
referred to herein as the “Appeal Date”. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee in accordance with
the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to delivery of an Arbitration Notice. In addition, together with delivery of
the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must also pay for (and provide proof of such payment to the Appellee together
with delivery of the Appeal Notice) a bond in the amount of 110% of the sum the Appellant owes to the Appellee as a result of the
Arbitration Award the Appellant is appealing. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with
proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal will occur as a matter
of right and, except as specifically set forth herein, will not be further conditioned. In the event a party does not deliver an
Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline prescribed in this Paragraph
5.1, such party shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award. If no party delivers an Appeal Notice (along with proof of
payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline described in this Paragraph 5.1, the Arbitration Award shall
be final. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal shall be deemed part of the parties’ agreement to arbitrate for
purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act.


 


5.2 Selection and
Payment of Appeal Panel. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment
of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by a three (3) person
arbitration panel (the “Appeal Panel”).


 


(a) Within
ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of five (5) arbitrators
that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such
five (5) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Appeal Arbitrators”). For the
avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Appeal Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services, and shall
not be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being appealed (the “Original Arbitrator”). Within
five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, the Appellant
must select, by written notice to the Appellee, three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members of the Appeal
Panel. If the Appellant fails to select three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then
the Appellee may select such three (3) arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection
to the Appellant.


 


(b) If the
Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the
Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may at any time prior to the Appellee so designating the Proposed
Appeal Arbitrators, identify the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators
by Utah ADR Service (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator) by written notice to the Appellee. The Appellee may then, within
five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators to the Appellee, select, by written
notice to the Appellant, three (3) of such selected arbitrators to serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee fails to select in
writing within such 5-day period three (3) of the arbitrators selected by the Appellant to serve as the members of the Appeal Panel,
then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel from the Appellant’s list of five (5) arbitrators
by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellee.


 






    Ex-H-5


     


    

 


(c) If a selected
Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected such Proposed Appeal Arbitrator
may select one (1) of the other five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date a chosen
Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as an arbitrator. If at least three (3)
of the five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the Proposed Appeal Arbitrator
selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however, that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators
who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel.


 


(d) The date
that all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 agree in writing (including via email) delivered
to both the Appellant and the Appellee to serve as members of the Appeal Panel hereunder is referred to herein as the “Appeal
Commencement Date”. No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellee shall designate
in writing (including via email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the name of one (1) of the three (3) members of the Appeal
Panel to serve as the lead arbitrator in the Appeal proceedings. Each member of the Appeal Panel shall be deemed an arbitrator
for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act, provided that, in conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel
may only act or make determinations upon the approval or vote of no less than the majority vote of its members, as announced or
communicated by the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. If an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel
ceases or is unable to act during the Appeal proceedings, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with Paragraph
5.2 above to continue the Appeal as a member of the Appeal Panel. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list
of neutrals, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration
Association.


 


(d) Subject
to Paragraph 5.7 below, the cost of the Appeal Panel must be paid entirely by the Appellant.


 


5.3 Appeal Procedure.
The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall conduct
a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice. Subject to the foregoing and all other
provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in a manner the Appeal Panel considers appropriate for
a fair and expeditious disposition of the Appeal, may hold one or more hearings and permit oral argument, and may review all previous
evidence and discovery, together with all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (as well as
any documents filed with the Appeal Panel pursuant to Paragraph 5.4(a) below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with
the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery or raise any new Claims to be arbitrated,
shall not permit new witnesses or affidavits, and shall not base any of its findings or determinations on the Original Arbitrator’s
findings or the Arbitration Award.


 


5.4 Timing. 


 


(a) Within seven (7)
calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant (i) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Appeal Panel copies
of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the Arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings and other documents
filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement if necessary), and (ii)
may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Memorandum in Support of the Appellant’s arguments
concerning or position with respect to all Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the Arbitration.
Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellant’s delivery of the Memorandum in Support, as applicable, the Appellee shall
deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a Memorandum in Opposition to the Memorandum in Support. Within seven (7) calendar
days of the Appellee’s delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the Appellant shall deliver to the Appeal
Panel and to the Appellee a Reply Memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition. If the Appellant shall fail to substantially comply
with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award,
and the Arbitration Award shall be final. If the Appellee shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition as required above,
or if the Appellant shall fail to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the Appellee or the Appellant, as the case
may be, shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Appeal shall proceed regardless.

(b) Subject to subparagraph
(a) above, the parties hereby agree that the Appeal must be heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30) calendar days of the Appeal
Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel must render its decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the Appeal is heard
(and in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date).


 


5.5 Appeal Panel
Award. The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the “Appeal Panel Award”) through the lead arbitrator
on the Appeal Panel. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall (a) supersede in its entirety
and make of no further force or effect the Arbitration Award (provided that any protective orders issued by the Original Arbitrator
shall remain in full force and effect), (b) be final and binding upon the parties, with no further rights of appeal, (c) be the
sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded
in the Arbitration, and (d) be promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to
monetary awards). Any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident
to enforcing the Appeal Panel Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such
enforcement. The Appeal Panel Award shall include Default Interest (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the
Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award will be entered and
enforced by a state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.


 


5.6 Relief. The
Appeal Panel shall have the right to award or include in the Appeal Panel Award any relief which the Appeal Panel deems proper
under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the Appeal Panel
may not award exemplary or punitive damages.


 


5.7 Fees and Costs.
As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded
the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory
fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration
and the Appeal Panel, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (as determined by the Appeal Panel) the reasonable attorneys’
fees, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid
or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration (including without limitation in connection with
the Appeal).


 


6. Miscellaneous.


 


6.1 Severability.

These Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to the conflict of laws principles
therein.
