SOL Strategies Announces Definitive Agreement to Acquire Houdini Swap, Expanding Privacy Focus and Acquiring Diversified Revenue Streams

Adding fifth revenue stream, cross-chain distribution across over 100 blockchain networks and a profitable business

May 04, 2026 8:52 AM EDT \| Source: SOL Strategies Inc.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) ("SOL Strategies" or the "Company"), one of the first publicly traded companies dedicated to growing and building the Solana Economy, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HoudiniSwap LLC ("Houdini"), a non-custodial, privacy-focused cross- chain swap aggregator, for USD $18 million, payable in cash and shares of the Company (the "Acquisition").

Houdini, which generated approximately USD $13mm in revenue in 2025 with over half of trailing 12-month volume touching the Solana blockchain, is a digital asset infrastructure business that helps users access competitive swap routes across centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and blockchain bridges without taking custody of funds. Since launch, the platform has processed more than USD $2.5 billion in cumulative transaction volume across over 100 blockchain networks across a global user base. Houdini has partnerships and integrations with over 18 decentralized exchanges and has fully integrated with many significant self-custodial wallet providers.

The acquisition marks another step in SOL Strategies' efforts to build Solana into the foundation for institutional finance. By expanding beyond validator operations and staking into transaction routing infrastructure, cross-chain liquidity, and software-based revenues, the Company is building a broader platform designed to support how institutions will move capital and participate on-chain. It also strengthens SOL Strategies' position in privacy, execution quality, and the trusted infrastructure needed for adoption at scale.

------

"While others have pulled back in 2026, we're delivering on our commitment by building with conviction in the ecosystem that we believe is winning for the long term," ***said Michael Hubbard, Chief Executive Officer of SOL Strategies.*** "Houdini is a trusted product with users and volume, and average swap sizes well above typical retail platforms. We see this as a critical piece to enable important fungibility between the entire gamut of blockchain networks as well as mobility in and out of Solana. It broadens SOL Strategies into a cross-chain transaction engine and will enhance our offerings to the growing market for digital assets." Hubbard continued, with the previously announced acquisition of Darklake's Zyga privacy technology, "we see a tremendous opportunity to improve privacy and execution for transactions, including many of the qualities that retail and institutions demand of the platforms they wish to trade on."

"This transaction is indicative of the company we are building,"***said Stephen Ehrlich, Chief Strategy Officer of SOL Strategies.*** "While staking remains a pillar of our business, adding scalable technology and transaction revenues creates stronger margins, more durable cash flow, and less reliance on any single market cycle. It's an important step to becoming a more balanced business and positions us well to capitalize on Solana's growing role in finance."

SOL Strategies believes the acquisition will diversify revenue, expand reach through Houdini's multi-chain user base and B2B network, and create cross-sell opportunities for validator services, institutional staking, STKESOL and other future initiatives.

"We built Houdini to serve users who care about privacy, execution quality, and access across every major blockchain network, said ***Louis Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HoudiniSwap.*** What SOL Strategies brings is something we couldn't replicate on our own: established relationships with institutional partners, a validator network already trusted by over 34,000 wallets, and a public company platform that opens doors for the kind of enterprise conversations we've been working toward. Combining our team with theirs means more minds working on the complex on-chain challenges that still need solving, and we think that shows up directly in what we can deliver to our partners and users. That's exactly why this felt like the right home for what we've built."

**Acquisition Terms**

The purchase price for the Acquisition is USD $18 million, comprised of USD $8.25 million in cash (with USD $7.0 million payable on closing and USD $1.25 million paid over the 18 months following closing), a USD $5.75 million six-month promissory note, and USD $4 million in shares, to be valued based on a 90-day VWAP ending prior to the closing date for the Acquisition, subject to the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), and US $100,000 in common share purchase warrants, exercisable for a period of two years at a 25% premium to the market price.

------

The Company does not intend to sell any of its Solana treasury assets to fund the Acquisition. The shares forming part of the purchase price will be subject to a 4 month hold period. The Acquisition also includes a two-year earn out of up to USD $10 million, based on a USD $2.5 million annual EBITDA hurdle.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, acquisition advisor to the Company in connection with the Acquisition, will receive a USD $500,000 fee upon closing of the Acquisition, as well as 200,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from issuance, 100,000 of which are exercisable at CAD $2.15, and 100,000 of which will be priced at a 25% premium to market as of closing of the Acquisition.

The Acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the CSE, and closing is expected to occur on or before May 29, 2026.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as acquisition advisor and Fasken LLP and Troutman Pepper Locke LLP acted as legal advisors to the Company. Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as financial advisor and Goodmans as legal advisor to Houdini.

**WHEREAS** the Vendor owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the "**Membership Interests**") of HoudiniSwap LLC, a limited liability company incorporated in accordance with the Limited Liability Companies Act CAP 151 laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Revised Edition 2009 with company number 2852 LLC 2023 (the "**Company**"), subject to completion of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, following which the Membership Interests may be held by additional Persons who will become parties to this Agreement as Vendors pursuant to Section 10.14;

**AND WHEREAS** the Vendor (together with any additional Vendors who become party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.14) wishes to sell, transfer and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser wishes to purchase from the Vendors, all of the Membership Interests, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

**ARTICLE 1**<br>**DEFINITIONS**

Capitalized terms that are used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified or set forth in Schedule A.

**ARTICLE 2**<br>**PURCHASE AND SALE**

**2.1 Purchase and Sale**

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, each Vendor shall sell, transfer and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from each Vendor, all of such Vendor's rights, title and interest in and to such Vendor's Membership Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than restrictions on the transfer of securities under Applicable Securities Laws and in the Constating Documents of the Company).

**2.2 Purchase Price**

In consideration for the sale of the Membership Interests pursuant to Section 2.1, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.5 and Article 8, as applicable), the aggregate purchase price payable by the Purchaser to the Vendors (collectively, the "**Purchase Price**") shall consist of:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Estimated Purchase Price, to be paid to the Vendors on the Closing Date in accordance with the Payment Allocation Schedule, and satisfied by (i) the payment of the Estimated Closing Cash, (ii) the issuance of the Closing Notes, (iii) the retention by the Purchaser of the Holdback Amount, (iv) the issuance of the Closing Consideration Shares, and (v) the issuance of the Consideration Warrants; and

**2.3 Payment of the Purchase Price**

At the Closing, the Purchaser shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) lend to the Company, on a non-interest-bearing demand basis, an amount equal to the Estimated Transaction Expenses, if any, identified on the Estimated Closing Statement, to the extent such Estimated Transaction Expenses are not paid by the Company prior to the Closing, and in satisfaction of such loan, the Company hereby irrevocably directs the Purchaser to pay or cause to be paid, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amounts owing to the applicable third parties as set out in the Estimated Closing Statement to the account or accounts specified in invoice(s) with respect to such Estimated Transaction Expenses, for and on behalf of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) issue to each Vendor (or as directed by the Vendor Representative) a promissory note in the form set out in Schedule F (together, the "**Closing Notes**"), with the aggregate amount of all Closing Notes issued to the Vendors being $5,750,000, allocated among the Vendors as designated in the Payment Allocation Schedule;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) pay or cause to be paid to each Vendor, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in the Payment Allocation Schedule, such Vendor's portion of the Estimated Closing Cash as set forth in the Payment Allocation Schedule, *less* such Vendor's Pro Rata Share of any amounts paid by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(a); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) issue to each Vendor (or as directed by the Vendor Representative) such Vendor's portion of the Closing Consideration Shares as set forth in the Payment Allocation Schedule, as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Purchaser.

**2.4 Estimated Purchase Price**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Not more than 10 days nor, without the Purchaser's written consent, less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Vendor Representative shall have prepared and made available to the Purchaser a statement (the "**Estimated Closing Statement**") that sets forth the Vendor Representative's good faith determination of the Estimated Purchase Price as of Closing, including the Vendor Representative's good faith estimates of the Company's Working Capital as of the Closing Time ("**Estimated Working Capital**"), Indebtedness ("**Estimated Indebtedness**") and Transaction Expenses ("**Estimated Transaction Expenses**"), in each case in reasonable detail together with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation used to prepare the calculations contained in the Estimated Closing Statement. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall (i) determine the Consideration Share Reference Price as of such date, and (ii) determine the aggregate number of Closing Consideration Shares to be issued to the Vendors (as allocated in the Payment Allocation Schedule), which number of Closing Consideration Shares shall be calculated by dividing the Consideration Share Cap by the Consideration Share Reference Price, rounded to the closest whole number of Common Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As promptly as practicable following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.4(a), the Vendor Representative shall provide to the Purchaser an allocation schedule (the "**Payment Allocation Schedule**"), prepared in good faith, setting forth the aggregate amount payable at the Closing to each Vendor in consideration for such Vendor's Membership Interests pursuant to Section 2.1, including the portions of the Estimated Closing Cash, Closing Notes and Closing Consideration Shares allocable to each Vendor, in each case consistent with each Vendor's Pro Rata Share, together with wire transfer instructions for each Vendor.

**2.5 Post-Closing Adjustment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare (in accordance with IFRS) and cause to be delivered to the Vendor Representative a written statement (the "**Final Closing Statement**") setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Purchaser's good faith calculations of the Closing Working Capital, Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses and also setting forth the Purchaser's good faith calculation of the Final Purchase Price based on the foregoing, together with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation used to prepare the calculations contained in the Final Closing Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) After receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Vendor Representative shall have 45 days (the "**Review Period**") to review the Final Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Purchaser shall provide the Vendor Representative and its accountant reasonable access, upon prior written notice during normal business hours, to the personnel and Representatives of the Purchaser involved in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement, together with any documents, schedules or working papers used by them in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or before the last day of the Review Period, the Vendor Representative may object to the Final Closing Statement by delivering to the Purchaser a notice in writing setting forth the Vendor Representative's objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for each such objection thereto (the "**Objection Notice**"). If the Vendor Representative fails to deliver the Objection Notice within the Review Period, the Purchaser's Final Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Vendors and shall be final and binding and used in computing the Post-Closing Reduction Amount or Post-Closing Increase Amount, as applicable. If the Vendor Representative delivers an Objection Notice on or before the last day of the Review Period, then the Vendor Representative and the Purchaser shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the disputed matters within the 30 day period following the delivery of such Objection Notice, and any resolution by them agreed to in writing as to any disputed amount(s) will be final and used in computing the Post-Closing Reduction Amount or Post-Closing Increase Amount, as applicable. If the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative are unable to resolve any Objection Notice within such 30 day period, then the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall follow the dispute resolution procedure set forth at Schedule C.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Estimated Purchase Price:

&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) is *greater* than the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5), then the Vendors shall pay the amount of such excess to the Purchaser (a "**Post-Closing Reduction Amount**") (severally, based on each Vendor's Pro Rata Share) by setting off an amount equal to such excess from the amount outstanding under the Closing Notes, or, if such amount is not sufficient to satisfy the Post-Closing Reduction Amount, in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser, within three Business Days of the date on which such Post-Closing Reduction Amount is finally determined;

&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) is *equal* to the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5), there shall be no adjustment made to the Final Purchase Price or otherwise pursuant to this Section 2.5; or

&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) is *less* than the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5), then the Purchaser shall pay the amount of such difference to the Vendors (a "**Post-Closing Increase Amount**") (in accordance with each Vendor's Pro Rata Share) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Vendor Representative within three Business Days of the date on which such Post-Closing Increase Amount is finally determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Parties agree to treat any Post-Closing Reduction Amount or any Post-Closing Increase Amount as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Any payments or receipts made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

------

**2.6 Closing**

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the "**Closing**") to be held virtually on or before May 29, 2026, by exchanging copies of all documents required to be delivered by the Parties under this Agreement by email, or in such other manner as the Vendor and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon in writing. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the "**Closing Date**".

**2.7 Guarantees of Individual Vendors**

Each Individual Vendor hereby irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual performance of all obligations of any Vendor Holdco wholly-owned by such Individual Vendor, including all obligations of such Vendor Holdco as a Vendor under this Agreement, as if such obligations were his own, and agrees to duly and punctually perform, discharge and fully pay or cause to be duly and punctually performed and discharged and fully paid all obligations and liabilities of the Vendors contained in this Agreement (the foregoing are collectively referred to in this Section 2.7 as the "**Guaranteed Obligations**"), in the event that any Vendor Holdco fails to duly and punctually perform, discharge and/or fully pay, in whole or in part, any of its Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement. In the event that a Vendor Holdco fails to so perform, discharge or pay any such Guaranteed Obligation, in respect of an amount agreed to in writing by the Vendor Holdco or finally adjudicated under Article 8 to be payable by such Vendor Holdco, the applicable Individual Vendor shall, within 10 Business Days after the Purchaser makes a demand therefor to such Individual Vendor, duly and punctually perform, discharge and/or fully pay such Guaranteed Obligation. The Individual Vendors agree that (a) the obligations of the Individual Vendors pursuant to this Section 2.7 are absolute, unconditional (subject to the demands in the immediately preceding sentence having been made), irrevocable and continuing and shall not in any way or to any extent be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected except by due and punctual performance and/or full payment thereof by the Vendor Holdcos and/or the Individual Vendors (in accordance with this Section 2.7), *provided that* the Individual Vendors expressly reserve to themselves the right to exercise any and all defences which would be available to the Vendor Holdcos and which are not in derogation of the Individual Vendors' agreements under this Section 2.7, (b) the Individual Vendors shall be liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, and (c) the Individual Vendors shall duly and punctually perform, discharge and/or fully pay any and all Guaranteed Obligations of each Individual Vendor within 10 Business Days after proper demand therefor from the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 2.7. The obligations of the Individual Vendors hereunder will not be limited or reduced by any changes in any Vendor Holdco's name or any reorganization or amalgamation. Without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting, in whole or in part, the liability of the Individual Vendors hereunder, the Purchaser may grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, abstain from taking or perfecting securities, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with any Vendor Holdco as the Purchaser may see fit. The obligation of the Individual Vendors will not be limited or reduced as a result of the termination, invalidity or unenforceability of any right of the Purchaser against any Vendor Holdco due to any incapacity, disability or lack or limitation of status or of the power of any Vendor Holdco or as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or similar proceedings involving any Vendor Holdco or for any other reason whatsoever.

&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) directly or indirectly, in any manner, solicit, entice, attempt to persuade any other employee or consultant of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to leave the Purchaser or the Affiliate of the Purchaser (as applicable) for any reason or otherwise participate in or hire or facilitate the hire, directly or through another entity, of any person who is employed or engaged by the Purchaser, or an Affiliate of the Purchaser or who was employed or engaged by the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser; *provided that* nothing in this Section 6.8(a)(iii) shall prohibit each Vendor from (i) making general solicitation advertisements that are not targeted at any employee or consultant of the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser or (ii) hiring any employee or consultant whose employment shall have been terminated by the Purchaser, or an Affiliate of the Purchaser at least six months prior to any attempt to solicit or hire such person.

Each Vendor understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.8 are intended to preserve the value of the Membership Interests and to protect the interest of the Purchaser and Affiliates of the Purchaser in their confidential information, goodwill and established employee, customer, supplier, consultant and vendor relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. Each Vendor also acknowledges and agrees that absent such party's agreement to and compliance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.8, the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In respect of any restrictive covenants granted under this Agreement and the ancillary agreements contemplated hereby, the Parties acknowledge their intent and understanding that the conditions of section 56.4(7) of the Tax Act are met, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, they agree that no proceeds are receivable for granting such restrictions and that such restrictions are integral to this Agreement and will be so granted to maintain and preserve the value of the Membership Interests sold and transferred in accordance with this Agreement.

**6.9 Non-Solicitation of Other Bids**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Until the date that is the earlier of the Closing Date or the date that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, each Vendor shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates (including the Company) or any of its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal.

**6.11 Tax Matters**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Vendor Representative shall, on behalf of the Vendors, cause to be prepared (at its own expense) in accordance with applicable Law and past practice of the Company all Tax Returns that the Company is required to file after the Closing Date for all taxable periods ending before the Closing Date and not filed prior to the Closing Date (the "**Pre-Closing Tax Returns**"). The Vendor Representative shall provide a draft of each Pre-Closing Tax Return to the Purchaser for its review and comment no later than 30 days prior to the filing due date for such Pre-Closing Tax Return and shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Purchaser in writing within 15 days after delivery of such Pre-Closing Tax Return.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Straddle Period Returns for each Straddle Period of the Company in a manner consistent with past practice and all applicable Laws. In the case of a Straddle Period Return that is required to be filed within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide a draft of such Straddle Period Return to the Vendor Representative for review and comment at least ten days prior to the filing due date for such Straddle Period Return, *provided that*, in the case of a Straddle Period Return that is required to be filed within ten days of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to afford the Vendor Representative a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Straddle Period Return (such review and comments not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) prior to filing such Straddle Period Return. In any other case, the Purchaser shall provide a draft of the Straddle Period Return to the Vendor Representative for review and comment at least 30 days prior to the date on which the Straddle Period Return is required to be filed. The Purchaser shall consider in good faith any comments on any Straddle Period Return made by the Vendor Representative in writing within 15 days after delivery of any such Straddle Period Return (or such shorter period contemplated by this Section 6.11(b)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) At the request of the Vendor Representative, the Purchaser shall execute one or more joint elections under the provisions of subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial Law in respect of the sale of any Membership Interests by the Vendors to the Purchaser in consideration for Consideration Shares under this Agreement. The "elected amount" for such elections shall be determined by each Vendor, in its, his or her sole and absolute discretion, within the limits prescribed by subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act or the corresponding provisions of any provincial or territorial Law, as applicable. In order to make an election, a Vendor must provide the required election form containing all necessary information of which it has knowledge to the Purchaser no later than 45 calendar days prior to the due date for such election prescribed pursuant to subsection 85(6). Thereafter, the forms will be signed by the Purchaser and returned by the Purchaser to the applicable Vendor within 30 calendar days following delivery by such Vendor of the election forms to the Purchaser for timely filing with the Canada Revenue Agency (and any applicable provincial or territorial taxing authority). With the sole exception of the execution by the Purchaser of prescribed forms for purposes of the election and of the furnishing of such information as is properly within the knowledge of the Purchaser (such as its business number and registered address), compliance with the requirements for a valid election, including the selection of the appropriate elected amount for the prescribed form and the filing of the completed and executed form with the appropriate Governmental Authority, will be the sole responsibility of the Vendor making the election. Provided that the Purchaser fulfils its explicit covenants in this Section 6.11(c), the Purchaser will not be responsible for any Taxes, late filing penalties, or any other liabilities resulting from the failure by anyone to properly complete any such election forms (including any failure to select an appropriate elected amount for the prescribed form) or to properly file such forms within the time prescribed under the Tax Act or the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial Law. If the Vendor wishes to subsequently amend any such election, the Vendor shall prepare, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall jointly execute, and the Vendor shall file, any election form required to give effect to the foregoing, with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11(c) applying mutatis mutandis to such amended election form.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except as required by Law or if it would not result in any additional Taxes or other amounts for which the Vendors may be liable under this Agreement, none of the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser (including, as of the Closing Date, the Company) shall (i) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return ‎or Tax election ‎relating in whole or in part to the Company with respect to (or that has an effect on) any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make any Tax election with respect to the Company in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) make any voluntary disclosure to, or enter into any voluntary disclosure agreement or similar program with, any Governmental Authority in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, (iv) extend or waive any applicable statute of limitations or reassessment period with respect to (A) any Tax of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (B) any Tax Return required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; or (v) adopt or change any accounting method or practice with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company, in each case without the prior written consent of the Vendor. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Company as of the Closing) shall make, permit or cause to be made or permitted any extraordinary transactions or events on the Closing Date after the Closing with respect to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event that the Company receives, after the Closing, any refund, credit or other reduction of Taxes, including any interest thereon, in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period which is not accounted for in the settlement of the Closing Working Capital, the Purchaser will promptly pay the amount, net of any Taxes and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such receipt thereof, to the Vendor Representative or as he may direct in writing. In the event that the Company is subsequently required to repay any amount paid to or for the benefit of the Vendor Representative under this Section 6.11(e), the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor Representative in writing and such amount (together with any interest or penalties owing in respect of such disallowed refund or credit), shall be repaid to the Purchaser within 15 Business Days of receipt of such notice. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 6.11(e) will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Other than Taxes that have been taken into account in determining the Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Agreement, the Vendors shall pay, as a reduction of Purchase Price, (A) all Taxes due with respect to all Tax Returns for the Company for any taxation period that begins before and ends before the Closing Date and (B) with respect to all Tax Returns for the Company for any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined under Section 6.11(h)), in each case, within 10 Business Days of filing such Tax Returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be calculated as follows: (i) in the case of any Taxes that are based upon or measured by income, receipts, profits or wages, that are imposed in connection with the sale or other transfer of property or services, or that are required to be withheld or collected, the amount of such Taxes that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined on the basis of a closing of the books as of the end of the day prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, the amount of such Taxes that are attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the first day of such Straddle period up to and including the day prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing and preparation of the Tax Returns described in Sections 6.11(a) and 6.11(b), the Tax elections described in Section 6.11(c) and any Action related to Taxes in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, Tax election or Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide any additional information and explanation related thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Vendor, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, determines, or becomes aware that an "advisor" (as defined for purposes of section 237.3 or section 237.4 of the Tax Act) has determined, that any Transaction is subject to the reporting requirements under section 237.3 of the Tax Act or the notification requirements under section 237.4 of the Tax Act (or any comparable provisions under provincial or territorial tax Law), including as a result of any future amendments or proposed amendments to such provisions (the "**Disclosure Requirements**"), the Vendor Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, will promptly inform the other parties to this Agreement of its intent, or its advisor's intent, to comply with the Disclosure Requirements and such parties will cooperate in good faith with respect to preparing and filing the applicable information returns or notifications in a consistent manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party is under any obligation not to report a transaction that it determines, acting reasonably, to be subject to a reporting requirement pursuant to the Disclosure Requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) If it is determined that the Company has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend payable by it and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of the Company's "capital dividend account" (as defined in the Tax Act) immediately before the dividend became payable, the Vendor hereby concurs with and agrees to make (and agrees to cause the recipient of such dividend to concur with and agree to make) an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) If it is determined that the Company has made an "excessive eligible dividend designation" (as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act) prior to the Closing, the Vendor hereby concurs with and agrees to make (and agrees to cause the recipient of such dividend to concur with and agree to make) an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of the excessive eligible dividend designation, and such election shall be made by the Company in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act.

**6.13 Closing Conditions**

During the period of time from and including the date of this Agreement to the Closing Time, each Party shall, and the Vendor Representative shall cause the Company to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article 7, *provided that* the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to ensure that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.1(b) is satisfied, including by notifying the CSE and NASDAQ and filing any required application therewith by no later than one Business Day following the date hereof, and hereby acknowledges and confirms that it has not been advised, in writing or otherwise, that any of the approvals contemplated thereby will not be forthcoming upon the satisfaction of any customary deliverables requested by the CSE or NASDAQ. The Purchaser shall keep the Vendor promptly informed of any communication between the CSE and NASDAQ, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with this Transaction.

Until the Purchaser has repaid in full the outstanding balance of all Closing Notes, the Purchaser shall observe the following covenants with respect to the Restricted Solana Tokens and the Restricted Solana Wallet:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Purchaser shall keep all Restricted Solana Tokens in the Restricted Solana Wallet, and the Purchaser shall not Transfer any Restricted Solana Tokens out of the Restricted Solana Wallet, other than by way of a Permitted Wallet Migration, without the prior written consent of the Vendor Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Purchaser shall not Transfer, assign, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Solana Wallet, any Wallet Rights or any right or ability to access, control or direct the Restricted Solana Tokens, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether direct or indirect, that would result in any other Person acquiring any legal interest, beneficial interest, security interest, participation, option, control or other rights in respect of the Restricted Solana Tokens or the Restricted Solana Wallet, other than in connection with an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Purchaser or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Purchaser shall not take any action, or omit to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to result in the Restricted Solana Tokens ceasing to be held in the Restricted Solana Wallet or otherwise ceasing to be subject to the restrictions set out in this Section 6.14, other than by way of a Permitted Wallet Migration.

For greater certainty, the restrictions in this Section 6.14 are contractual covenants only and are not intended to, and shall not, create any pledge, charge, lien, security interest or other Encumbrance in favour of the Vendors over the Restricted Solana Tokens, the Restricted Solana Wallet or any Wallet Rights.

**6.15 Consulting Agreement**

As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the Purchaser and its counsel shall prepare an initial draft of the Consulting Agreement, and provide such draft Consulting Agreement to the Vendor Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of such Vendor contained in this Agreement (which, in respect of the representations and warranties of the Vendors in Article 3, shall be several based on each Vendor's Pro Rata Share);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by such Vendor or the Company under this Agreement (which, in respect of covenants and obligations of the Company, shall be several based on each Vendor's Pro Rata Share);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) any Transaction Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company prior to Closing that were not paid prior to or at Closing or taken into account in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including this Article 8), in the case of fraud by a Vendor with respect to a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect and survive indefinitely.

------

**8.5 Limitation of Losses**

The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Vendors and the Purchaser shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to any single claim for indemnification or otherwise with respect to the matters described in Section 8.2 or 8.3, respectively, unless the amount of Losses with respect to any such claim is greater than $10,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Vendors and the Purchaser shall not have any liability or obligation to make any payment for Losses for indemnification or otherwise with respect to the matters described in Section 8.2 or 8.3, respectively, unless and until the aggregate of all Losses suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against the Purchaser Indemnitees or the Vendor Indemnitees, as applicable, with respect to such matters exceeds $140,000, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the entire amount of such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which each Vendor shall be liable under Section 8.2(a) (i) with respect to representations and warranties that are not Fundamental Representations, shall not exceed such Vendor's Pro Rata Share of 15% of the Purchase Price; and (ii) with respect to representations and warranties that are Fundamental Representations, shall not exceed such Vendor's Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price actually received by such Vendor, which shall, for greater certainty, include the Closing Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to Sections 8.5(a), 8.5(b) and 8.5(c), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which each Vendor shall be liable under Section 8.2 shall not exceed such Vendor's Pro Rata Share of the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by the Vendors, which shall, for greater certainty, include the Closing Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Purchaser shall be liable under Section 8.3 shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by the Vendors, which shall, for greater certainty, include the Closing Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In the event of an Indemnity Claim by the Purchaser pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e) or 8.2(f), once the validity and amount of such Indemnity Claim has been finally determined in accordance with the requirements of this Article 8, any Losses payable to the Purchaser shall be satisfied solely in the following manner (subject to the other provisions (including limitations) of this Article 8): (i) first, by recourse to the Holdback Amount until such Holdback Amount has been exhausted; and (ii) second, by recourse to the Vendors pursuant to this Article 8 until the maximum liabilities provided for in Sections 8.5(c) or 8.5(d) have been reached, as applicable. This Section 8.5(f) does not apply to Indemnity Claims made in respect of Actions or Losses set out in Schedule G.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, Losses arising as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of an Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not have any right to indemnification under Article 8 with respect to Taxes to the extent such Taxes: (i) are imposed on or with respect to any Tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.21(k), 3.21(m), 3.21(p) and 3.21(w)); and (ii) relate to the amount, availability or use of any Tax attributes (including losses, resource and other pools, capital cost and undepreciated capital cost, paid-up capital, balances and investment tax and other credits) in a Tax period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

**8.6 Indemnification Procedures**

Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Party entitled to indemnification (the "**Indemnified Party**") shall promptly provide written notice (an "**Indemnity Notice**") of such claim or potential claim for indemnification (an "**Indemnity Claim**") to the other Party (the "**Indemnifying Party**"). An Indemnity Notice must specify whether the Indemnity Claim arises as the result of a Third Party Claim or whether the Indemnity Claim is a Direct Claim, and must also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the amount of the Indemnity Claim, if known.

If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive an Indemnity Notice of an Indemnity Claim in time to effectively contest the determination of any liability capable of being contested, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to set-off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party's failure to give an Indemnity Notice on a timely basis.

**8.7 Procedure for Direct Claims**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Following receipt of an Indemnity Notice from the Indemnified Party of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have 30 Business Days, or any other period of time agreed to by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, (in either case, the "**Claim Dispute Period**") to make any investigations it considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of those investigations, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all other information that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Indemnifying Party disputes the validity or amount of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party may provide written notice of the dispute to the Indemnified Party within the Claim Dispute Period. That dispute notice must describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Indemnifying Party's dispute. Upon receipt of a dispute notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute for a period of not less than 20 Business Days following receipt of the dispute notice (the "**Negotiation Period**"). If the dispute has not been resolved by the expiry of the Negotiation Period, the Indemnified Party may pursue all rights and remedies available to it, subject to this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not provide written notice of a dispute with respect to the Direct Claim within the Claim Dispute Period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have agreed to the validity and amount of the Direct Claim.

**8.8 Procedure for Third Party Claims**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Indemnified Party will promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all correspondence, notices, assessments or other written communication received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any Third Party Claim that is or might become the basis of an Indemnity Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Indemnified Party will not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim that is or might become the basis of an Indemnity Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Indemnified Party will not cause or permit the termination of any right to defend or right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim that is or might become the basis of an Indemnity Claim without giving the Indemnifying Party written notice of the contemplated or potential termination in time to grant the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to contest the Third Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume carriage and control of any Third Party Claim. Each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will make all commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other party who has assumed carriage and control of a Third Party Claim that is or might become the basis of an Indemnity Claim all employees and other Persons under its control whose assistance or evidence is necessary to assist that Party (or other Indemnified Party) in evaluating and defending that Third Party Claim and all documents, records and other materials in its possession or control required for use in the negotiation, defence or settlement of that Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Vendors will have the sole right to take carriage of and control any and all proceedings that relate to matters occurring prior to Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume carriage and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within 30 Business Days or receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnity Notice, to assume carriage and control (including the negotiation, defence or settlement) of the Third Party Claim and the conduct of any related legal or administrative proceedings at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and by its own counsel, without being required to acknowledge liability in respect of such Third Party Claim (*provided that* the assumption of such carriage and control shall not constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party expressly reserves all rights to dispute the validity or amount of any related Indemnity Claim). In such event:

------

&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) the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume carriage and control (including the negotiation, defence or settlement) of the Third Party Claim at its expense and by its own counsel; and

&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) the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate at its own expense (which will not be indemnified under this Article 8) in the negotiation, defence or settlement of the Third Party Claim assisted by its own counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Indemnifying Party will not be required to indemnify for any Loss relating to a Third Party Claim that is settled or contested in violation of the terms of this Section 8.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.8, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to any Third Party Claim that: (i) imposes any non-monetary obligation, restriction or liability of any kind on the Indemnified Party; (ii) does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (iii) includes any finding, admission or acknowledgment of fault, wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume carriage and control of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.8(e), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, contest, settle or compromise such Third Party Claim by its own counsel and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, *provided that* the Indemnified Party shall (i) consult with the Indemnifying Party and keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed regarding the status of, and material developments in, such Third Party Claim, (ii) consider in good faith the views and comments of the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defence, contest, settlement or compromise thereof, and (iii) not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event, occurrence or fact that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an Indemnity Claim. The costs and expenses of such mitigation efforts shall be included in the Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 8.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Notwithstanding Section 8.8(a), the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor in writing within 15 Business Days of receipt by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser (including, following the Closing, the Company) of any notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits, assessments or other Actions relating to the Company, in each case for one or more Pre-Closing Tax Periods, for which the Vendor may be liable pursuant to this Agreement (a "**Tax Proceeding**"), *provided that* failure to provide such notice shall not limit the obligations of the Vendor hereunder, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices the Vendor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) If any Governmental Authority, pursuant to applicable Law, is entitled to take collection action in respect of any Tax Proceeding prior to a binding, final and non-appealable determination or settlement, notwithstanding any defense relating thereto, the Indemnifying Party providing indemnification in respect of such matter shall pay or cause to be paid such amount that is subject to such collection action (the "**Prepaid Amount**") of the Company within the time prescribed by applicable Law, and the Purchaser will cause the Company to promptly pay any Prepaid Amount to the applicable Governmental Authority. In the event such Tax Proceeding is subsequently settled in accordance with the terms of a binding, final and non-appealable determination or settlement, the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the contributing Vendor the amount, if any, by which the Prepaid Amount and any interest received from the Governmental Authority thereon (net after any applicable Taxes or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) exceeds the final amount of Tax due pursuant to such Tax Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such binding, final and non-appealable determination or settlement.

**8.9 Satisfaction of Claims; Holdback Amount.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Once the validity and amount of an Indemnity Claim (the "**Claim Amount**") has been finally determined by agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, by binding, final and non-appealable determination, or by settlement, in each case in accordance with this Article 8, then:

&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) if the Indemnifying Party is a Vendor, the Claim Amount will be satisfied through the Holdback Amount or paid (or caused to be paid) by such Vendor in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party in accordance with the sequence set forth in Section 8.5(f);

&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) if the Indemnifying Party is the Purchaser, the Purchaser will promptly pay (or cause to be paid) the Claim Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the First Holdback Release Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor Representative (on behalf of the Vendors), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Vendor Representative, an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the Holdback Amount, subject to any set-off against the Holdback Amount resulting from indemnity claims or Disputed Amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On the Final Holdback Release Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor Representative (on behalf of the Vendors), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Vendor Representative, an aggregate amount equal to the remaining 50% of the Holdback Amount, subject to any set-off against the Holdback Amount resulting from indemnity claims or Disputed Amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If an Indemnity Notice in respect of an Indemnity Claim has been delivered to any Vendor, as Indemnifying Party, or the Vendor Representative, on behalf of one or more Vendors, as Indemnifying Parties before the applicable statute of limitations period has expired, then that Indemnity Claim will be a "**Disputed Claim**" and the amount of the Indemnity Claim set out in that Indemnity Notice will be a "**Disputed Amount**".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the validity and amount of a Disputed Claim has been finally determined prior to the Final Holdback Release Date (or once the Disputed Claim is determined to be invalid prior to such date, in which case the Claim Amount for such Disputed Claim will be deemed to be zero):

&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) if the Disputed Amount is determined to be payable to the Purchaser, such Disputed Amount shall be retained by the Purchaser from the Holdback Amount, and to the extent the Holdback Amount is not sufficient to satisfy such Disputed Amount, the Vendors shall pay such Disputed Amount to the Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser; and

&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) if the Disputed Amount is determined to be payable to the Vendors, then the Purchaser shall pay such Disputed Amount to the Vendor Representative (on behalf of the Vendors) in cash by the Purchaser via a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Vendor Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If the validity and amount of a Disputed Claim has been finally determined after the Final Holdback Release Date (or once the Disputed Claim is determined to be invalid after such date, in which case the Claim Amount for such Disputed Claim will be deemed to be zero):

&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) if the Disputed Amount is determined to be payable to the Purchaser, then the Vendors shall pay such Disputed Amount to the Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser; and

&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) if the Disputed Amount is determined to be payable to the Vendors, then the Purchaser shall pay such Disputed Amount to the Vendor Representative (on behalf of the Vendors) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Vendor Representative.

------

**8.10 Rules Relating to Indemnification Obligations**

The following will apply to the indemnification obligations under this Article 8.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 8 will be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments under this Agreement, and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of that Loss, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Indemnified Party receives a net amount that, taking into account any net Tax cost or net Tax benefit, is sufficient to fully compensate for the Loss, but results in no net gain to the Indemnified Party. In computing the amount of any net Tax cost or net Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party will be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment under this Agreement or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No Indemnified Party is entitled to double recovery for any Indemnity Claim even though the Indemnity Claim may have resulted from the breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. No Indemnifying Party has any liability or obligation for indemnification under this Article 8 to the extent that the relevant Loss has been taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the case of an Indemnity Claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article 8 for breach by the Vendor or any of them of a representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, the Purchaser Indemnified Party will be entitled to claim the full amount of the Loss resulting from that breach without regard to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier. However, the determination under this Article 8 of whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect will be made having regard to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier.

**8.11 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments**

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

------

**ARTICLE 9**<br>**TERMINATION**

**9.1 Termination**

This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) By the mutual written consent of the Vendor Representative and the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) By the Purchaser by written notice to the Vendor Representative if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Purchaser to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it before the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) By the Vendor Representative by written notice to the Purchaser if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of any Vendor to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it before the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) By the Purchaser or the Vendor if:

&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) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Transaction illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

&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) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the Transaction, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

**9.2 Effect of Termination**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) as set forth in Section 6.5, Section 9.3, this Article 9 and Article 10;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that nothing herein shall relieve any Party hereto from liability for any willful breach of any provision hereof and each Party may seek such remedies, including damages and fees of legal counsel, against the other with respect to any such breach as are available at Law or in equity.

------

**9.3 Purchaser Termination Fee**

If this Agreement is terminated by the Vendor Representative pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and has not been earlier terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1 and, at the time of such termination, the failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.3(e) was the cause of the failure of the Closing to occur by the Outside Date, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendors (in accordance with each Vendor's Pro Rata Share) the Purchaser Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Vendor Representative within five Business Days following the date of such termination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser Termination Fee is not a penalty but is a payment in consideration for the disposition of rights by the Vendors and is a genuine pre-estimate of the Losses that the Vendors would suffer as a result of a termination of this Agreement in the circumstances described in this Section 9.3 and is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies available to the Vendors at law or in equity, including the right to seek damages for any willful breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser. Payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee shall not relieve the Purchaser from liability for any willful breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.14, after the date of this Agreement, any holder of Membership Interests prior to the Closing (including as a result of the Pre-Closing Reorganization) not already a party to this Agreement may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form attached as Schedule E (each, a "**Joinder**"), and thereafter shall be deemed a "Vendor" for all purposes hereunder (and shall be deemed to be included in the definition of "Vendors"), with notice to the Purchaser as promptly as practicable. No action or consent by any other Vendor shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Vendor, so long as such additional Vendor has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the terms and obligations applicable to a "Vendor" hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Person who becomes a Vendor by executing a Joinder shall (a) be deemed to have made, as of the date of such Joinder and as of the Closing Date, all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 as if such Person were an original signatory hereto, (b) be bound by and subject to all covenants and obligations applicable to a Vendor under this Agreement, and (c) be severally liable for indemnification obligations under Article 8 in accordance with such Vendor's Pro Rata Share, in each case as if such Person had been an original party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the only additional Vendors permitted under this Agreement shall be the Individual Vendors and the Vendor Holdcos, and no other Persons shall be permitted to become Vendors under this Agreement.

**10.15 Appointment of Vendor Representative**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Louis M. Goldberg is hereby constituted and appointed as the representative of the Vendors (the "**Vendor Representative**"), with full power and authority on each Vendor's behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (ii) to prepare and deliver the Estimated Closing Statement and the Payment Allocation Schedule, (iii) to receive, give receipt for and disburse any funds received hereunder on behalf of or to each Vendor, (iv) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle all disputes with the Purchaser under this Agreement, including disputes regarding any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.5 and any indemnification claim made by the Purchaser pursuant to Article 8, (v) to give and receive notices on behalf of each Vendor, including any notice of an indemnification claim for which indemnification is sought by the Vendors pursuant to Article 8, (vi) to execute and deliver on behalf of each Vendor all documents contemplated herein, and any amendment or waiver hereto, and (vii) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Vendors collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions of the Vendor Representative shall be final and binding upon all the Vendors. Neither the Vendor Representative nor any agent employed by the Vendor Representative shall incur any liability to any Vendor relating to the performance of its duties as authorized hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that the Vendor Representative becomes unable to perform the Vendor Representative's responsibilities or resigns from such position, the Vendors holding a majority of the Membership Interests (determined immediately prior to the Closing) shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall, upon written notice to the Purchaser, be deemed to be the Vendor Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall not have any liability to any Vendor for any acts or omissions of the Vendor Representative, or any acts or omissions taken or not taken by the Purchaser at the direction of, or upon reliance of actions taken by, the Vendor Representative.

**2. Earn-Out**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Earn-Out Payments**. As additional consideration for the Membership Interests, at such times as provided in Section 2(d), the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendors (in accordance with each Vendor's Pro Rata Share) with respect to each Calculation Period within the Earn-Out Period an amount, if any (each, an "**Earn-Out Payment**"), equal to the product of (i) an amount equal to (A) the Adjusted EBITDA for such Calculation Period, *minus* (B) the EBITDA Threshold for such Calculation Period; *multiplied by* (ii) the Earn-Out Multiple; *provided that* in no event shall the Purchaser be obligated to pay the Vendors more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate for any Calculation Period. If the Adjusted EBITDA for a particular Calculation Period does not exceed the applicable EBITDA Threshold, no Earn-Out Payment shall be due for such Calculation Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-Out Payments.**

&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) On or before the date which is 30 days after the last day of each Calculation Period (each such date, an "**Earn-Out Calculation Delivery Date**"), the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Vendor Representative a written statement (in each case, an "**Earn-Out Calculation Statement**") setting forth in reasonable detail the Purchaser's determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period and calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment (in each case, an "**Earn-Out Calculation**").

&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) The Vendor Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for each Calculation Period (in each case, the "**Review Period**") to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculation set forth therein. During the Review Period, the Vendor Representative and the Vendor Representative's accountants and Representatives shall have the right to inspect the Company's books and records during normal business hours at the Company's offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting Earn-Out Payment. Before the expiration of the Review Period, the Vendor Representative may object to the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for the applicable Calculation Period by delivering a written notice of objection (an "**Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice**") to the Purchaser. Any Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-Out Calculation disputed by the Vendor Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and the amount in dispute. If the Vendor Representative fails to deliver an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice to the Purchaser before the expiration of the Review Period, then the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If the Vendor Representative timely delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Adjusted EBITDA and the Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Calculation Period. If the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative have not reached an agreement within 30 days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable but in no event greater than 30 days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items as an expert and not as an arbitrator based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA that is the subject of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Vendor Representative and the Purchaser in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ from Adjusted EBITDA as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Independence of Earn-Out Payments**. The Purchaser's obligation to pay each of the Earn-Out Payments to the Vendors in accordance with Section 2(a) is an independent obligation of the Purchaser and is not otherwise conditional or contingent upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to any preceding or subsequent Earn-Out Payment and the obligation to pay an Earn-Out Payment to the Vendors shall not obligate the Purchaser to pay any preceding or subsequent Earn-Out Payment. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, if the conditions precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out Payment for the first Calculation Period are not satisfied but the conditions precedent to the payment of the Earn-Out Payment for the second Calculation Period are satisfied, then the Purchaser would be obligated to pay such Earn-Out Payment for the second Calculation Period for which the corresponding conditions precedent have been satisfied and not the Earn-Out Payment for the first Calculation Period.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Timing and Form of Payment of Earn-Out Payments**. Subject to Section 2(g), any Earn-Out Payment that the Purchaser is required to pay under Section 2(a) shall be paid solely in cash, in full, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) designated by the Vendor Representative, no later than 30 Business Days following the date upon which the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period becomes final and binding upon the parties as provided in Section 2(b)(ii) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by the Vendor Representative in an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice). For the avoidance of doubt, all Earn-Out Payments shall be paid exclusively in cash and the Purchaser shall not have the right to satisfy any portion of an Earn-Out Payment through the issuance of Consideration Shares or any other non-cash consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Acceleration of Earnout.** 

&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) If, prior to the end of the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser effects or permits any sale, spin-off, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, recapitalization or other transaction or series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, involving all or substantially all of the assets, business or equity interests of the Company, as a result of which the standalone Adjusted EBITDA of the Company can no longer be reliably measured on a basis consistent with this Schedule B (a "**Measurement Impairment Event**"), then all remaining unpaid Earn-Out Payments shall immediately accelerate and become due and payable at the maximum aggregate Earn-Out Payment amount for each remaining Calculation Period (being $5,000,000 per Calculation Period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Parties jointly determine, acting reasonably, that the Company or the Business has experienced a Material Adverse Effect that has resulted in there being no reasonable prospect of Earn-Out Payments becoming payable, *provided, that* the Purchaser has not breached any of its obligations under this Schedule B, the provisions of this Section 2(e)(i) shall cease to be applicable upon the Purchaser making a payment to the Vendors equal to 10% of the maximum aggregate Earn-Out Payment amount for each remaining Calculation Period (being $5,000,000 per Calculation Period).

&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) In the event of a Change of Control of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall require, as a condition to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, that the acquiror or successor entity expressly assumes all of the Purchaser's obligations under this Schedule B pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Vendor Representative. If the acquiror or successor entity fails to provide such written assumption and the Change of Control transaction is closed, all remaining unpaid Earn-Out Payments shall immediately accelerate and become due and payable at the maximum aggregate Earn-Out Payment amount for each remaining Calculation Period (being $5,000,000 per Calculation Period). For purposes of this Section 2(e), "**Change of Control**" means any transaction or series of related transactions in which any Person or group of Persons, other than the current shareholders of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date, acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the combined voting power of all outstanding equity interests of the Purchaser.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Post-Closing Operation of the Company**. During the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser covenants and agrees as follows, unless the Vendor Representative otherwise consents in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, operate the Business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice as conducted prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, transfer, relocate, or divert any material assets, customers, revenue streams, or business opportunities of the Company out of the Company to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; (iii) the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, allocate, charge, or otherwise impose upon the Company any costs, overhead, shared services charges, or other expenses that were not historically borne by the Company prior to the Closing Date (except for services actually consumed by the Company at cost levels consistent with those in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date); and (iv) the Purchaser shall not effect any material change to the Company's business, including any material change to its products, services, pricing, customer relationships, technology platforms, or business model, without the prior written consent of the Vendor Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2(f) shall require the Purchaser to operate the Company at a loss or to fund the Company's operations beyond the working capital levels existing as of the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Separate Books and Records**. During the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to maintain separate books and records, including a standalone profit and loss statement, sufficient to permit the independent calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with this Schedule B. No corporate overhead, shared services costs, public-company compliance costs, or other allocations from the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be charged against or reflected in the Company's standalone profit and loss statement or the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, except for services actually consumed by the Business at cost levels no greater than those in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any bonuses or compensation costs that are paid or incurred at the Purchaser's corporate level shall not be allocated to or reflected in the Company's standalone profit and loss statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) **Financial Reporting**. During the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Vendor Representative: (i) within 30 days after each calendar month-end, unaudited monthly financial statements of the Company (including a profit and loss statement) for such month, prepared on a basis consistent with this Schedule B; and (ii) within 60 days after each fiscal quarter-end, unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company (including a profit and loss statement and balance sheet) for such quarter, prepared on a basis consistent with this Schedule B. Such financial statements shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting detail and shall be prepared in a manner that permits verification of the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

**SCHEDULE C**<br>**DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE**

**1.** If the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative are unable to resolve any Objection Notice within 30 days after delivery of the Objection Notice, then the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall engage the dispute resolution group of MNP LLP (the "**Independent Accountant**"), who shall, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, resolve the dispute set forth in the Objection Notice.

**2.** The Independent Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objection Notice as being items which the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative are unable to resolve, and in resolving any such disputed item or amount, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any item or amount greater than the greatest value for such item or amount claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item or amount claimed by either Party. Further, the Independent Accountant's determination shall be based solely on the written information provided by the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative, which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review), and the Independent Accountant shall not conduct additional discovery in any form. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to whether the Purchaser's calculation of the Final Purchase Price was done in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether the accounting methods and procedures used to prepare the Final Purchase Price were in accordance with IFRS, and whether there were mathematical errors in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price, and the Independent Accountant shall not make any other determination.

**3.** The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the Purchaser and the Vendor Representative shall agree in writing) after its engagement, as to (and only as to) the disputed items submitted to the Independent Accountant. All negotiations pursuant to this Schedule C shall be treated as confidential information, except that each party shall be entitled to disclose such negotiations to their Representatives. The Independent Accountant shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement. The procedures of this Schedule C are exclusive and, except as set forth below, the determinations of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties, absent manifest error. The decision of the Independent Accountant rendered pursuant to this Schedule C may be filed as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred in resolving the disputed matters shall be borne by the Vendors (severally based on each Vendor's Pro Rata Share), on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount of disputed matters lost by the Vendors, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, bears to the total dollar amount in dispute resolved by the Independent Accountant. In the event of any dispute regarding such allocation, the Independent Accountant shall determine the allocation of its fees and expenses as between the Vendors and the Purchaser in accordance with such allocation methodology, such determination to be final and binding on the Vendors and the Purchaser. Each Party will bear its own fees, costs and expenses in connection with matters contemplated by this Schedule C.

1. **Promise to Pay**. **FOR VALUE RECEIVED**, SOL Strategies Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the "**Borrower**"), hereby promises to pay **[**●**]** (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "**Lender**"), in immediately available funds, at such location in Canada as the Lender shall designate, the principal sum of **[●]** DOLLARS ($**[●]**) and all interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof at the rates specified below.

2. **Payments and Repayment.** The aggregate unpaid principal amount of this Promissory Note (this "**Note**"), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on **[●]<sup>2</sup>** (the "**Maturity Date**"). The principal amount of this Note shall be repaid by the Borrower in cash; provided that, to the extent the Borrower does not have sufficient cash on the Maturity Date to repay the outstanding principal amount after selling any Locked Solana (as defined herein) then held by the Borrower, the Borrower may satisfy the difference by issuing freely tradable common shares in the capital of the Borrower (the "**Common Shares**"), with the number of Common Shares to be issued determined by dividing the amount of such difference by the closing price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "**CSE**"), or if the Common Shares are not then listed on the CSE, on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed on the trading day immediately prior to the date of issuance, less the maximum discount allowable pursuant to the rules and policies of such stock exchange, and in all cases in accordance with the rules and policies of such stock exchange.

3. **Interest**. The Borrower agrees to pay interest to the Lender on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from the date hereof at a rate per annum equal to 3.00% until the full and final repayment of the principal amount of this Note. Interest shall be calculated monthly and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) a default under this Note. Interest may be paid, at the Borrower's election, in Solana (SOL) tokens, cash or Common Shares. If the Borrower elects to satisfy any interest payment in Common Shares, the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing the amount of such interest payment by the closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE, or if the Common Shares are not then listed on the CSE, on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed on the trading day immediately prior to the date of issuance, in accordance with the rules and policies of such stock exchange. If the Borrower elects to satisfy any interest payment in Solana (SOL) tokens, the number of tokens to be delivered shall be determined by dividing the amount of such interest payment by the closing price of Solana (SOL) on the day immediately prior to the date of issuance (as reported on CoinMarketCap or such other reputable pricing source as the parties may agree). Interest shall be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed over a 365/366 day year. For the purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada) and disclosure under such Act, wherever interest to be paid under this Note is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year (a "**deemed year**"), such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest for the deemed year by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the rate is to be ascertained and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

_______________________________________

<sup>1</sup> To be a pro rated amount of $5,750,000.

<sup>2</sup> To be 6 months from the date of Closing.

4. **Voluntary Prepayment**. The Borrower may prepay the principal amount of this Note in cash in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without premium or penalty, make-whole amount, or other additional compensation payable by the Borrower to the Lender in connection with such voluntary prepayment, and all such prepayments shall be made at par without deduction or set-off (other than as required by applicable law).

5. **Mandatory Prepayment**. If, at any time while any amount remains outstanding under this Note, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries consummates any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries raises capital, whether through the issuance of debt (including bonds, debentures, credit facilities, term loans, or other evidences of indebtedness), equity (including common shares, preferred shares, or other equity securities), subscription receipts, convertible instruments (including convertible notes, convertible debentures, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of the Borrower), or any other capital markets transaction, private placement, or other financing arrangement of any kind (each, a "**Financing Transaction**"), other than any intercompany advances or loans among the Borrower and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the aggregate gross cash proceeds actually received by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries in connection with such Financing Transaction, less the aggregate amount of all underwriting discounts, selling commissions, placement agent fees, and all other reasonable and documented fees, costs, and expenses directly incurred in connection therewith (including legal fees, accounting fees, printing costs, and applicable regulatory filing fees) (such net amount, the "**Net Proceeds**") are equal to or greater than ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (a "**Qualified Financing**"), then the Borrower shall, no later than five (5) days following the closing date of the applicable Qualified Financing (or, in the case of a Qualified Financing that closes in multiple tranches, no later than five (5) days following the closing date of each such tranche, calculated on the Net Proceeds received at each such closing), remit to the Holder as payment against amounts owing hereunder an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Proceeds of such Qualified Financing and (ii) the aggregate of all principal amounts and interest owing hereunder (the "**Mandatory Prepayment Amount**"). The Borrower shall provide written notice to the Lender no later than three (3) days prior to the date on which the Mandatory Prepayment Amount is to be remitted, including: (a) a description of the Qualified Financing, including the nature and type of the Financing Transaction; (b) the closing date (or expected closing date) thereof; (c) the aggregate gross proceeds and Net Proceeds; (d) the calculation of the Mandatory Prepayment Amount; (e) the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note as of the date of such notice; and (f) the date on which the Mandatory Prepayment Amount will be remitted. The mandatory prepayment obligation set forth in this Note operates as a partial prepayment obligation only and shall not, unless the Mandatory Prepayment Amount equals or exceeds the aggregate of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest owing under this Note, constitute repayment in full of this Note. Any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to this Note shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay the remaining outstanding amounts in accordance with the other terms hereof, and nothing herein shall limit or restrict the right of the Borrower to make additional voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in accordance with the terms of this Note. No premium, penalty, make-whole amount, or other additional compensation shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender in connection with any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to this Note, and all such prepayments shall be made at par without deduction or set-off (other than as required by applicable law). This mandatory prepayment obligation shall apply separately and independently to each Qualified Financing consummated during the term of this Note and shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing hereunder have been indefeasibly paid in full.

------

6. **Acceleration**. The unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically become immediately due and payable in cash, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the commencement by or against the Borrower of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar proceeding relating to the Borrower or its debts in any jurisdiction; (b) a Change of Control of the Borrower; or (c) a Change of Control of HoudiniSwap LLC. For the purposes of this Note, a "**Change of Control**" means, with respect to any entity, any transaction or series of related transactions in which any Person or group of Persons, other than the current shareholders or equity holders of such entity as of the date of this Note, acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the combined voting power of all outstanding equity interests of such entity.

7. **Evidence of Indebtedness**. The Lender will maintain books of account evidencing all loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder. The Lender will enter in such accounts the details of all amounts from time to time owing, paid or repaid by the Borrower hereunder, which entries shall constitute *prima facie* evidence of the obligations of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder with respect to all loans and all other amounts owing by the Borrower to the Lender under this Note. The Lender shall provide copies of such accounts to the Borrower upon any payment or prepayment hereunder and otherwise upon the Borrower's request.

8. **Waiver of Notice**. The Borrower hereby waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest of this Note. No failure on the part of the holder hereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or a consent thereto; nor shall a single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

9. **Locked Solana**. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) until the outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been paid by the Borrower to the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Borrower shall observe the following covenants with respect to the minimum of 81,645.99 Solana (SOL) tokens (the "**Locked Solana**") held in wallet ***[Redacted - Commercially Sensitive Confidential Information]*** (the "**Restricted Solana Wallet**"):

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. the Borrower shall keep all Locked Solana in the Restricted Solana Wallet, and the Purchaser shall not transfer any Locked Solana out of the Restricted Solana Wallet, other than by way of a Permitted Wallet Migration, without the prior written consent of the Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. the Borrower shall not transfer, assign, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Solana Wallet, any Wallet Rights or any right or ability to access, control or direct the Locked Solana, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether direct or indirect, that would result in any other person acquiring any legal interest, beneficial interest, security interest, participation, option, control or other rights in respect of the Locked Solana or the Restricted Solana Wallet, other than in connection with an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Borrower or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. the Borrower shall not take any action, or omit to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to result in the Locked Solana ceasing to be held in the Restricted Solana Wallet or otherwise ceasing to be subject to the restrictions set out in this Section 9, other than by way of a Permitted Wallet Migration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Locked Solana shall not otherwise be pledged to, or used as collateral for, any other party or facility. The Borrower shall maintain the Locked Solana free and clear of all encumbrances other than the terms included in this Note. If the Lender does not have sufficient cash to repay the principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date, it shall be required to sell such amount of the Locked Solana as may be necessary to resolve such cash shortfall immediately prior to the applicable Maturity Date and use the cash proceeds generated from such sale towards paying down the amounts owing under this Note. For purposes of this Section 9, "**Permitted Wallet Migration**" shall mean means a transfer of all (but not less than all) of the Locked Solana from the Restricted Solana Wallet to another digital wallet controlled by the Borrower solely for bona fide cybersecurity, custody, wallet maintenance or technical reasons, provided that: (i) the Borrower has given the Lender at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of such migration; (ii) the replacement digital wallet is controlled exclusively by the Borrower; (iii) no person other than the Borrower obtains any legal or beneficial interest in, or custody or control over, the Locked Solana as part of such migration; (iv) the Borrower provides notice of the public wallet address of the replacement digital wallet to the Lender promptly following such migration; and (v) the Locked Solana remain subject to the restrictions set out in this Section 9 after such migration, and "**Wallet Rights**" shall mean any private key, seed phrase, password, access credential, signing device, multisig authority, approval right or other right, instrument or means necessary to access, control or transfer the Locked Solana held in the Restricted Solana Wallet.

10. **Successors and Assigns; Assignment**. This Note shall enure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors, and permitted assigns. The Borrower's obligations under this Note may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender's interest in this Note may only be assigned on prior written notice to the Borrower.

------

11. **Severability**. Any provision of this Note prohibited by the laws of any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition without invalidating the remaining terms hereof or thereof and no such invalidity shall affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay to the Lender the principal amount and interest provided for herein at the times provided for hereunder.

12. **Interpretation**. Neither this Note nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against any of the parties hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Note has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

13. **Governing Law**. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
