appoint a third-party valuation company to conduct examination and assessment of a fair market price of the Bitcoin Mining Equipment.
The Purchaser shall not withhold its cooperation and shall grant access and render assistance to such third party to conduct examination
and valuation. If valuation report results submitted by third-party valuation company(i) shows that the fair market price is lower
than the agreed value consideration under this Agreement or (ii) determines any defects in the Bitcoin Mining Equipment, the Seller
shall have a right, at its own discretion, to do either or all of the following: (a) reject defected portion of the Bitcoin Mining
Equipment, (b) reduce amount of the Subject Shares proportionally, or (c) adjust total amount of the Subject Shares to the fair
market price of the Bitcoin Mining Equipment.

 

Upon the execution of this Agreement and
before the Closing (the “Retention Period”), the Purchaser shall maintain the Bitcoin Mining Equipment at his
own expense and shall take all measures, in order that the Seller’s claim of ownership contemplated in this Agreement is

Mining Equipment with the Seller instead of the Purchaser.

 

Section 5.03      Defected Bitcoin Mining
Equipment. 

 

In the event that the Bitcoin Mining Equipment,
after the Closing, turns out to be not suitable for the intended use and/or has any functional defects, which were not discovered
before the Closing for the reasons whatsoever, then the Seller has an absolute right, at its own discretion, to return such defected
portion of the Bitcoin Mining Equipment to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall surrender certain number of Subject Shares with
nil consideration in proportionate to the defected portion of the Bitcoin Mining Equipment as to the Bitcoin Mining Equipment as
a whole. The Purchaser shall act according to the instructions of the Seller and shall not withhold its consent and cooperation

counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party or Indemnifying Parties exercise the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim as provided

such defense and make available to any Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified
Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event any

without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, except, in the case of (ii) only, where

admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof (including the validity, scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision

Such consultation shall begin immediately after any party has delivered notice to the other party to the Dispute requesting such

(a)       If

administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (the

books, records, and personnel under their control or under the control of a Person controlling or controlled by such Party if determined
by the Arbitration Board to be relevant to the Dispute, (iii) conducting arbitration hearings to the greatest extent possible on
successive business days and (iv) using their best efforts to observe the time periods established by the Rules or by the Arbitration
Board for the submission of evidence and briefs.

 

(d)       The
costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitration, including the fees of the Arbitration Board, shall
be borne by the losing party to the Dispute or claim, and each Party shall pay its own fees, disbursements and other charges of
its counsel; provided that the Arbitration Board shall have the right to allocate the costs and expenses between each Party
as the Arbitration Board deems equitable.

 

(e)       Any
award made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and binding on each of the Parties that were parties to the Dispute. The Parties
expressly agree to waive the applicability of any Laws that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions of the Arbitration
Board so that there shall be no appeal to any court of Law for the award of the Arbitration Board, and a party shall not challenge
or resist the enforcement action taken by any other party in whose favor an award of the Arbitration Board was given.

 

Section 9.09      Counterparts; Effectiveness.

signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall
have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart
hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder
(whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in
counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.10      Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede
all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

 

Section 9.11      Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental
Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination,
the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely
as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated
to the fullest extent possible.

actually suffered or incurred by them (including any Action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them), arising out of or

the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Seller under this Agreement to be true and accurate when made;

(b)              
the breach or violation of, or failure to perform or fulfill, any covenant or agreement by the Seller contained in this

(including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss”)

    18

     

    

 

Section
7.06        Third-Party Claims.
If a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) receives notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third-Party
Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article VII, within thirty (30)
calendar days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties,
as the case may be, notice of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice
shall not release any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that such
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any other obligation
or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII. If the Indemnifying Party
acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties hereunder against any Losses
that may result from such Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its or their expense and through counsel of its or their
choice if it or they give notice of such intention to do so to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as the case may be,
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the receipt of notice from any Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim; provided,
however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate
in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties in its or their sole and absolute discretion for the
same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties,
then the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to retain its or their own counsel in each jurisdiction for
which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties.
In the event that the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties exercise the right to undertake any such defense against any
such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party
or Indemnifying Parties in such defense and make available to any Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense,
all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified
Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event any Indemnified
Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties in such defense and make available to any Indemnified Party, at such Indemnifying
Party’s or Indemnifying Parties’ expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in such Indemnifying
Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by any Indemnified
Party. No Third-Party Claim may be settled (i) by any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party or Indemnifying Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying
Parties acknowledge in writing its or their obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may
result from such Third-Party Claim or (ii) by any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Parties, except, in the case of (ii) only, where settlement of such Third-Party Claim (A) includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such Action, audit, demand or assessment
and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified
Party.

 

    19

     

    

 

Section
7.07        Exclusive Remedy.
Following the Closing, indemnification as set forth in this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy available to the
Purchaser with respect to any breaches of any representations and warranties, covenants or agreement by the other Party in this
Agreement, except in each case pursuant to Section 9.02 or in the case of fraud or willful or intentional misconduct by
the other Parties (which remedies shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be in addition to the remedies set forth in this Article
VII).

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without
liability of any Party (or any Representative of such Party) to the other party hereto; provided that: (a) no Party shall
be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any prior breach by such Party of any provision of this Agreement; and
(b) the Parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in Article VII,

Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out
of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof (including the validity,

through consultation between the parties to such Dispute. Such consultation shall begin immediately after any party has delivered
notice to the other party to the Dispute requesting such consultation.

 

Section

(a)              
If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days following the date on which a notice for consultation is given or upon the
notice of any party to the Dispute notifying that such consultation has failed, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration
administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”)
as are in force at the time of any such arbitration and as may be amended by the rest of this Section 9.08. For the purpose
of such arbitration, there shall be three arbitrators to form an arbitration board (“Arbitration
Board”). One arbitrator shall be appointed by Purchaser and one shall be appointed by Seller. All selections
shall be made within 30 days after the selecting party gives or receives the demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators shall be

All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitrators shall decide any such Dispute or claim strictly in
accordance with the governing law specified in Section 9.06. Judgment upon any arbitral award rendered hereunder may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and
an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

 

(c)              
The Parties shall facilitate the arbitration by (i) cooperating in good faith to expedite (to the maximum extent practicable)
the conduct of the arbitration, (ii) making available to one another and to the Arbitration Board for inspection and extraction
all documents, books, records, and personnel under their control or under the control of a Person controlling or controlled by
such Party if determined by the Arbitration Board to be relevant to the Dispute, (iii) conducting arbitration hearings to the
greatest extent possible on successive business days and (iv) using their best efforts to observe the time periods established
by the Rules or by the Arbitration Board for the submission of evidence and briefs.

 

(d)              
The costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitration, including the fees of the Arbitration
Board, shall be borne by the losing party to the Dispute or claim, and each Party shall pay its own fees, disbursements and other
charges of its counsel; provided that the Arbitration Board shall have the right to allocate the costs and expenses between
each Party as the Arbitration Board deems equitable.

 

(e)              
Any award made by the Arbitration Board shall be final and binding on each of the Parties that were parties to the Dispute.
The Parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of any Laws that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions
of the Arbitration Board so that there shall be no appeal to any court of Law for the award of the Arbitration Board, and a party
shall not challenge or resist the enforcement action taken by any other party in whose favor an award of the Arbitration Board
was given.

 

Section
9.09        Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each
Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has
received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any
right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange
of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be
sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section
9.10        Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede
all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

 

Section
9.11        Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated
so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
