**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On August 19, 2025, Thumzup Media Corporation, a Nevada corporation, (the "Company") entered an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with TZUP Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger Sub") and Dogehash Technologies, Inc. ("Dogehash"), a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will change its name to Dogehash Technologies Holdings, Inc. and the Merger Sub will merge with and into Dogehash (the "Merger").

At closing of the Merger, the Company will issue 30,700,000 shares of restricted common stock to the shareholders of Dogehash in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Dogehash, and Dogehash will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company may issue convertible preferred stock containing a beneficial ownership limitation to any shareholder who, as a result of the Merger, would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company.

Because the Company's common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the issuance of shares will represent more than 19.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock, the issuance of the 30,700,000 shares of common stock is subject to shareholder approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) prior to the closing of the Merger. Also Nasdaq approval is required pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) as a result of the change of control. The Company intends to file a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A in connection with a special meeting of shareholders to obtain the required approvals described above. The closing of the Merger is subject to the Company obtaining the required shareholder approval, Nasdaq approval, receipt of a fairness opinion by the Company, receipt of Dogehash's required financial statements and customary closing conditions.

Dogehash is an industrial scale blockchain infrastructure company focused exclusively on mining Scrypt algorithm assets such as Dogecoin and Litecoin. The combined company aims to become the world's leading Dogecoin mining platform and will leverage Dogecoin Layer-2 infrastructure via staking in DeFI products within the DogeOS ecosystem to enhance miner economics and amplify yield beyond base block rewards.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Doge and its Subsidiaries in conducting its cryptocurrency mining, pooling and exchanges, do not solely on behalf of third-parties: (i) receive or obtain actual or constructive possession or control of money, funds, virtual currency or digital assets, stored or prepaid value or other form of value that substitutes for money for the purpose of transmitting the same, including by possessing or controlling private cryptographic keys or any portions thereof associated with virtual currency or digital assets of any third-party, (ii) execute orders for the purposes identified in the foregoing clause (i), (iii) advertise, solicit or hold itself out as providing any form of money services or transmission business or virtual currency business or (iv) act as the agent for the purpose of performing any of the activities described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Customers. Any Contract with a customer of Doge involving the provision of goods or services by Doge, including hosting, colocation or cryptocurrency mining services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Mining Pools. Any Contract providing for cryptocurrency mining pool arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Digital Asset Exchanges. Any Contract with a digital asset exchange or over-the-counter desk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Future Payment Obligations. Any Contract (or group of related Contracts or group of Contracts with the same counterparty or related counterparties) involving, or reasonably expected to involve, the payment by Doge of (A) more than $250,000 in any 12-month period or (B) more than $400,000 in the aggregate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Energy. Any Contract providing for or relating to the purchase, sale, transmission, distribution or management of power or energy, including any retail and wholesale supply, offtake, and demand response agreements, interconnection, transmission service, distribution facility extension and shared facility agreements and management, consulting, advisory and brokerage agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Serial Numbers. Serial Numbers and locations of all Miners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Ownership of Cash and Crypto-Currency. Doge owns or has the exclusive ability to access, including by use of "private keys" or other equivalent means, the (1) cash on hand, or cash held in crypto-currency wallets or similar mediums of custody for crypto-currencies and other tokens and digital assets or exchange accounts, (2) cash equivalents, (3) crypto-currencies, tokens, digital assets and other asset equivalents and (4) assets held in accounts other than any crypto-currencies, tokens, digital asset and other asset equivalents, in each case in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Doge deposits substantially all of its crypto-assets, including any digital assets mined, in mining pools or digital wallets held or operated by the Company (the "Company Wallets"). There are no Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on, or rights of any person to, Doge Wallets or the crypto-assets contained in such Wallets. Doge has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect digital asset Wallets and crypto-assets, including by adopting security protocols to prevent, detect and mitigate inappropriate or unauthorized access to Doge Wallets and crypto-assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Doge has the exclusive ability to control, including by use of "private keys" or other equivalent means or through custody arrangements or other equivalent means, all of the crypto-currencies, blockchain-based tokens, and other blockchain asset equivalents applicable to the business of Doge (collectively, the "Doge Digital Assets"), free and clear of all Liens. Doge has not taken any actions where it owns a substantial portion of all outstanding tokens in the then existing issued and circulating supply of such tokens on a blockchain to effectuate change through the governance process of that relevant blockchain that could reasonably foreseeably disrupt the continued existence, validity, legality, governance or public availability of the relevant blockchains.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) As of the date hereof, Doge operates approximately 21 Terahash per second (TH/s) of aggregate compute capacity across its deployed fleet of industrial-grade Scrypt miners (based upon net online power and excludes temporarily offline or standby units). This figure, to the Knowledge of Doge, represents active and online mining power currently contributing to cryptocurrency mining operations. The compute infrastructure is operated from three geographically distributed colocation facilities in North America, with redundant power and network connectivity to ensure uptime and continuity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Doge owns 2,500 physical mining units, and operates approximately 1,500 physical mining units. Each unit is assigned, monitored, and maintained under a proprietary miner tracking system that associates device performance, uptime, location, and operating efficiency. Additional next-generation units have been ordered and are expected to be deployed prior to or immediately following the Merger, which is reasonably expected to increase the hashrate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Doge participates in third-party mining pools under standard pooling arrangements, with pool distribution based on proportional share of submitted work (Combination of PPS PPLNS models depending on the pool). All units are configured with stratum settings tied to Doge's unique user credentials, for attribution of compute contributions and payout receipts. No units are leased or shared with third parties, and Doge retains exclusive control over wallet address assignments and pool credentials.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Hashrate as described herein is commercially reasonable and consistent with the nameplate computing power expected from the mix of miners operated as of the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) All Miners are owned or rightfully possessed by, operated by and under the control of Doge. To the Knowledge of Doge, there has been no failure, breakdown or continued substandard performance of any Miners that has caused a material disruption or interruption in or to the use of Miners or the related operation of the business of Doge that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Doge has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect Miners from Malware and other contaminants, hacks and other malicious external or internal threats; (b) ensure continuity of operations with adequate energy supply and minimal uptime required; and (c) provide for the remote-site back-up of data and information critical to Doge. Doge's use, provision, disclosure and transfer of Miners and Digital Assets and related services, has complied with all applicable Laws, including all applicable financial services and anti-money laundering Laws, other than Laws that individually or taken as a whole would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) TZUP has filed or furnished in a timely manner all TZUP SEC Reports since January 1, 2025. None of the TZUP SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of the last such amendment or filing), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The unaudited interim financial statements (including, in each case, the notes and schedules thereto) included in the TZUP SEC Reports complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto in effect at the time of such filing, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto and with respect to unaudited statements as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements included therein, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of complete footnotes) in all material respects the financial position of TZUP as of the respective dates thereof and the results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended. TZUP does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the TZUP SEC Reports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) TZUP has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to TZUP is made known to TZUP's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. To TZUP's knowledge, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting TZUP's principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in TZUP's periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) TZUP has established and maintained a system of internal controls. To TZUP's knowledge, such internal controls are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of TZUP's financial reporting and the preparation of TZUP's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the knowledge of the TZUP, each director and executive officer of TZUP has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required by <u>Section 16(a)</u> of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. TZUP has not taken any action prohibited by <u>Section 402</u> of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Except as set forth on <u>Section 6.07(e)</u> in the TZUP Disclosure Letter, neither TZUP (including, to the knowledge of the TZUP, any employee thereof) nor TZUP's independent auditors has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by TZUP, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves TZUP's management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by TZUP or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Except as disclosed in <u>Section 6.07(f) of the TZUP Disclosure Letter</u>, there are no outstanding SEC comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the TZUP SEC Reports. To the knowledge of TZUP, none of the TZUP SEC Reports filed on or prior to the date hereof is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date hereof.

Section 6.08 <u>Business Activities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except as set forth in the TZUP Organizational Documents, there is no agreement, commitment, or Governmental Order binding upon any TZUP Party or to which any TZUP Party is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing any business practice of any TZUP Party or any acquisition of property by any TZUP Party or the conduct of business by any TZUP Party as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted as of the Closing other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, or financial condition of TZUP and the ability of any TZUP Party to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions, has not conducted any business prior to the date hereof and will not conduct any business prior to the Closing except for matters incidental to engaging in the Transactions, and has no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which it is or will be a party, as applicable, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Transaction Documents, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except for the TZUP Parties, TZUP does not own, or have any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity. Except for this Agreement and the Transactions, neither TZUP nor any of its Subsidiaries has any interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, or is party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or could reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a business combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) There is no Indebtedness of or claim or judgment against TZUP or any of its Subsidiaries, except for those (i) reflected or reserved for on TZUP's June 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet or disclosed in the notes thereto (other than any such liabilities not reflected, reserved or disclosed as are not and would not be, in the aggregate, material to TZUP and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), (ii) that have arisen since the date of TZUP's June 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet in the ordinary course of the operation of business of TZUP and its Subsidiaries (other than any such liabilities as are not and would not be, in the aggregate, material to TZUP and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), (iii) disclosed in the TZUP Disclosure Letter or (iv) incurred in connection with or contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Since June 30, 2025, (a) there has not been any event or occurrence that has had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, or financial condition of TZUP and the ability of the TZUP to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and (b) except as set forth in <u>Section 6.08(d)</u> of the TZUP Disclosure Letter, TZUP has, in all material respects, conducted its business and operated its properties in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

Section 6.09 <u>Tax Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All material Tax Returns required by Law to be filed by (or on behalf of) any TZUP Party have been timely filed (after giving effect to any valid extensions), and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. No TZUP Party is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any material Tax Return other than extensions of time to file Tax Returns obtained in the ordinary course of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All material amounts of Taxes and all material Tax liabilities due and owing by any TZUP Party have been timely paid in full and for periods not covered by the financial statements of TZUP have been properly accrued on the books and records of the TZUP in accordance with GAAP, and since the date of TZUP's consolidated balance sheet for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, no TZUP Party has incurred any material Tax liability outside the ordinary course of business other than any liabilities incurred in connection with the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All material Taxes that the TZUP Parties are (or were) required by Law to withhold or collect in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, member or other Person have been duly withheld or collected, and have been timely paid over to the proper authorities to the extent due and payable. Each TZUP Party has complied in all material respects with applicable Law with respect to Tax withholding, including all reporting and record keeping requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except as disclosed in <u>Section 6.09(d)</u> of the TZUP Disclosure Letter, no TZUP Party is currently or has, within the past three years, been engaged in any audit, administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding with respect to Taxes by a taxing authority (and no such audit or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the TZUP Parties, contemplated). No TZUP Party has received within the last three years any written notice from a Governmental Authority of a dispute or claim with respect to material amount of Taxes, other than disputes or claims that have since been resolved, and no such claims have been threatened in writing. There are no outstanding agreements extending or waiving the statutory period of limitations applicable to any claim for, or the period for the collection or assessment or reassessment of, material amount of Taxes of an TZUP Party and no written request for any such waiver or extension is currently pending.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No TZUP Party is presently contesting any material Tax liability of such TZUP Party before any taxing authority or other Governmental Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No written claim has ever been made by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where a TZUP Party does not file Tax Returns that such TZUP Party is or may be subject to material taxation by that jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Neither TZUP nor any predecessor thereof has constituted either a "distributing corporation" or a "controlled corporation" in a distribution of stock qualifying for Income Tax-deferred treatment under <u>Section 355</u> of the Code (or so much of <u>Section 356</u> of the Code as relates to <u>Section 355</u> of the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) No TZUP Party (i) has been a party to any "listed transaction" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation <u>Section 1.6011-4(b)</u> or (ii) has executed or entered into any "closing agreement" or other binding written agreement with respect to material Taxes with a Governmental Authority that created obligations that will bind any TZUP Party after the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No TZUP Party will be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any: (A) a "closing agreement" as described in <u>Section 7121</u> of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non U.S. income Tax Law) entered into prior to the Closing; (B) an intercompany item under Treasury Regulation <u>Section 1.1502-13</u> or an excess loss account under Treasury Regulation <u>Section 1.1502-19</u>; (C) change in method of accounting for a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date and made prior to the Closing; (D) election pursuant to <u>Section 108(i)</u> of the Code made prior to the Closing; (E) installment sale or open transaction disposition made prior to the Closing; or (F) prepaid amount received prior to the Closing. As of the date hereof, no TZUP Party owns (or has owned) any interest in a Person treated as a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in <u>Section 957</u> of the Code) or a specified foreign corporation (as defined in <u>Section 965</u> of the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) There are no Liens with respect to any material amount of Taxes on any of the assets of any TZUP Party, other than Permitted Liens.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) No TZUP Party has been included in any "consolidated," "unitary," or "combined" Tax Return provided for under the Law of the United States, any non-U.S. jurisdiction or any state, province, prefect or locality with respect to Taxes for any taxable period for which the statute of limitations has not expired (other than a group of which the TZUP Parties are the only members).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) No TZUP Party has any material liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than the TZUP Parties) (i) as a result of having been a member of any affiliated group within the meaning of <u>Section 1504(a)</u> of the Code, or any similar affiliated or consolidated group for Tax purposes under any state, local or foreign Law (other than a group the common parent of which is TZUP); (ii) under Treasury Regulation <u>Section 1.1502-6</u> (or any similar provision of any state, local or foreign Law), (iii) as a transferee or successor or (iv) by Contract or otherwise (except, in each case, for liabilities pursuant to commercial contracts (or Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business) not primarily relating to Taxes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) No TZUP Party is a party to, is bound by, or has any obligation to any Governmental Authority or other Person (other than the TZUP Parties) under any Tax allocation, Tax sharing Tax indemnification or similar agreements (except, in each case, for any such agreements that are commercial contracts not primarily relating to Taxes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) No TZUP Party has knowingly taken any action (or knowingly permitted any action to be taken), or is aware of any fact or circumstance (other than any fact or circumstance relating to the value of the TZUP Common Stock after the date hereof), that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from constituting an integrated transaction that qualifies as a "reorganization" within the meaning of <u>Section 368(a)</u> of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Income Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, in each case, except (i) as a result of a determination within the meaning of <u>Section 1313(a)</u> of the Code after a challenge to such characterization that is initiated by a taxing authority or (ii) where Doge does not elect to apply the Minimum Share Consideration and such failure results in Doge or TZUP not being able to file its Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Income Tax Treatment under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this <u>Section 9.03(b)</u> shall prevent any Party or its Affiliates or Representatives from settling, or require any of them to litigate, any challenge or other similar proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Intended Income Tax Treatment after using good faith efforts to defend the Intended Income Tax Treatment with respect to Doge or TZUP. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the Intended Income Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority. Each of the Parties agrees to reasonably cooperate with each other and their respective counsel to document and provide factual support for the Intended Income Tax Treatment, including by reasonably cooperating to provide customary factual support letters.

With respect to any Claim as to which such notice is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the provisions of Section 12.02(e)(ii), assume the defense or otherwise settle such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and experienced in the conduct of Claims of that nature at the Indemnifying Party's sole risk and expense, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Indemnified Party: (1) shall be permitted to join the defense and settlement of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and at the Indemnified Party's own expense; (2) shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the defense and any settlement of such Claim in any manner reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party; and (3) shall not compromise or settle any such Claim without the prior written approval of the Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) As used in this Section 12.02, the terms Indemnified Party and/or Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to include the plural thereof where the rights or obligations of more than one Indemnified Party and/or Indemnifying Party may be involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Tax-free Indemnification Payments</u>. All sums payable by an Indemnifying Party as indemnification under this Section 12.02 shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings (<u>including</u> any Taxes or governmental charges of any nature) unless the deduction or withholding is required by Law, in which event or in the event the Indemnified Party shall incur any Liability for Taxes chargeable or assessable in respect of any such payment, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such additional amounts as shall be required to cause the net amount received by the Indemnified Party to equal the full amount which would otherwise have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made or no such Liability for Taxes been incurred.

**Section 12.03 <u>Limitations on Liabilities</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Party (including TZUP) shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any other under Section 12.03 for breaches of representations and warranties unless and until all Indemnified Losses in respect of which such Party is obligated to provide indemnification exceed $25,000 (the "**Basket Amount**") following which (subject to the provisions of this Section 12.03) such Party shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless, the other Party for all such Indemnified Losses (not merely the amount by which the Indemnified Losses exceed the Basket Amount); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> the Basket Amount shall not apply to indemnity obligations for Indemnified Losses arising as a result of fraud if determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 5.22 (Absence of Changes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 12.03 shall apply to matters relating to fraud if determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.
