notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Sections 5(c)(i) or 6(c)(ii) unless and to the extent it did not otherwise
learn of such action and the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall
not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be

the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), the reasonable fees and expenses of such Indemnified Party&#8217;s counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for any Indemnified Party in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising in the same
jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (A)&nbsp;includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified

indemnification provided for in this Section&nbsp;5(c) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under Sections 5(c)(i) or 5(c)(ii), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in Sections 5(c)(i) or 4(c)(ii), in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or
parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by Semnur on the one hand or such Buyer or Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties&#8217; relative intent, knowledge, </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify"><B><I>The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Biconomy Resale SPA to purchase or otherwise acquire Bitcoin and to fund investments
in other companies. The price of Bitcoin has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile. The Company&#8217;s operating results and share price may significantly fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of the price of such
digital assets and erratic market movements. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We intend to use the net proceeds from the Biconomy Resale SPA to purchase or
otherwise acquire Bitcoin, for the establishment of the Company&#8217;s cryptocurrency treasury operations and to fund our investment in other companies. Digital assets generally are highly volatile assets. In addition, digital assets do not pay
interest or other returns and so the ability to generate a return on investment from the net proceeds of any capital raisings will depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of digital assets following our purchases of digital assets with
the net proceeds from such capital raisings. Future fluctuations in digital asset trading prices may result in our converting digital assets into cash with a value substantially below what we paid for such digital assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our cryptocurrency treasury strategy has not been implemented or tested. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Our cryptocurrency acquisition and treasury strategy has not been tested. Although we believe cryptocurrency has the potential to serve as a
hedge against inflation in the long term, the short-term price of cryptocurrency as an asset class declined in recent periods during which the inflation rate increased. Some investors and other market participants may disagree with our
cryptocurrency acquisition strategy or actions we undertake to implement it. If cryptocurrency prices were to decrease or our cryptocurrency acquisition strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the
market price of our common stock would be materially adversely impacted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify"><B><I>Bitcoin and other digital assets are novel assets, and are
subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty, which could materially adversely affect the Company&#8217;s financial position, operations and prospects. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Bitcoin and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The
application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and
regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of Bitcoin or other digital assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The U.S. federal government, states,
regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of Bitcoin or the ability of individuals or institutions
such as us to own or transfer Bitcoin. For example, the U.S. executive branch, SEC, the European Union&#8217;s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, among others, have been active in recent years, and in the U.K., the Financial Services and Markets
Act 2023, or FSMA 2023 became law. It is not possible to predict whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (&#8220;CFTC&#8221;), or other
regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory
oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing
regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and Bitcoin specifically. The consequences of increased regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of Bitcoin and in turn adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Moreover, the risks of engaging in a digital asset treasury strategy are relatively novel
and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential
inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of Bitcoin
in particular, may also impact the price of Bitcoin and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Bitcoin may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying,
accessing or gaining exposure to Bitcoin, institutional demand for Bitcoin as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for Bitcoin as a means of payment, and the
availability and popularity of alternatives to bitcoin. Even if growth in Bitcoin adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that Bitcoin usage will continue to grow over the long-term. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Because Bitcoin has no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, a variety of technical factors related
to the Bitcoin blockchain could also impact the price of Bitcoin. For example, malicious attacks by miners, inadequate mining fees to incentivize validating of bitcoin transactions, hard &#8220;forks&#8221; of the Bitcoin blockchain into multiple
blockchains, and advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain and negatively affect the price of Bitcoin. The liquidity of Bitcoin may also be reduced and damage to
the public perception of Bitcoin may occur, if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold Bitcoin, provide Bitcoin-related services or accept Bitcoin as payment, which could also decrease the price of
Bitcoin. Similarly, the open-source nature of the bitcoin blockchain means the contributors and developers of the Bitcoin blockchain are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing the blockchain, and any
failure to properly monitor and upgrade the Bitcoin blockchain could adversely affect the Bitcoin blockchain and negatively affect the price of Bitcoin. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The liquidity of Bitcoin may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the
ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for Bitcoin and other digital assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>If any of the digital assets that we hold are
classified as a security, we may be subject to extensive regulation, which could result in significant costs or force us to cease operations. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Regulatory changes or interpretations that classify digital assets that we hold as a security under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;Investment Company Act&#8221;), could require us to register and comply with additional regulations. Compliance with these requirements could impose extraordinary,
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> expenses on our business. If the costs and regulatory burdens become too great, we may be forced to modify or cease certain operations, which could be detrimental to our investors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The SEC has previously indicated that certain digital assets may be considered securities depending on their structure and use. Future
developments could change the legal status of digital assets that we may hold, requiring us to comply with securities laws. If we fail to do so, we may be forced to discontinue some or all of our business activities, negatively impacting investments
in our securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">If the SEC or other regulators determine that digital assets that we may hold qualify as securities, we may be
required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. This classification would subject us to additional periodic reporting, disclosure requirements, and regulatory compliance obligations, significantly increasing our
operational costs. In addition, if Bitcoin or another digital asset we hold were determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, we would likely take steps to reduce the percentage of Bitcoin or such other digital
assets that constitute investment assets under the Investment Company Act. These steps may include, among others, selling Bitcoin that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-investment</FONT> assets, and we may be forced to sell our Bitcoin or other digital assets at unattractive prices. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Although we do not currently engage in investing, reinvesting, or trading securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as an investment
company, we could inadvertently be deemed one under the Investment Company Act. If we are unable to rely on an exclusion, we would be required to register with the SEC, which could impose additional financial and regulatory burdens. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Further, state regulators may conclude that the digital assets we hold are securities under
state laws, requiring us to comply with state-specific securities regulations. States like California have stricter definitions of &#8220;investment contracts&#8221; than the SEC, increasing the risk of additional regulatory scrutiny. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the
price of cryptocurrencies we hold and adversely affect our business. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The emergence or growth of digital assets other than
cryptocurrencies we may hold could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. There are numerous alternative digital assets and many entities, including consortia and financial institutions, are researching and investing resources
into private or permissioned blockchain platforms or digital assets. For example, some cryptocurrency networks utilize <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">proof-of-work</FONT></FONT> mining. Others use a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#8220;proof-of-stake&#8221;</FONT></FONT> mechanism for validating transactions that requires significantly less computing power than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">proof-of-work</FONT></FONT> mining. If the mechanisms for validating transactions in alternative digital assets are perceived as superior to the mechanisms used by the digital assets in which we invest, those digital
assets could gain market share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Other alternative digital assets could include &#8220;stablecoins,&#8221; which are designed to maintain
a constant price because of, for instance, their issuers&#8217; promise to hold high-quality liquid assets (such as U.S. dollar deposits and short-term U.S. treasury securities) equal to the total value of stablecoins in circulation. Stablecoins
have grown rapidly as an alternative to other digital assets as a medium of exchange and store of value, particularly on digital asset trading platforms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Additionally, central banks in some countries have started to introduce digital forms of legal tender. For example, China&#8217;s Central Bank
Digital Currency (&#8220;CBDC&#8221;) project was made available to consumers in January 2022, and governments including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Israel have discussed the potential creation of new CBDCs.
Whether or not they incorporate blockchain or similar technology, CBDCs, as legal tender in the issuing jurisdiction, could also compete with, or replace, other digital assets as a medium of exchange or store of value. As a result, the emergence or
growth of these or other digital assets could cause the market price of cryptocurrencies we hold to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The lack of legal recourse and insurance for digital assets increases the risk of total loss in the event of theft or destruction. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Digital assets that we acquire will not be insured against theft, loss or destruction. If an event occurs where we lose our digital assets,
whether due to cyberattacks, fraud or other malicious activities, we may not have any viable legal recourse or ability to recover the lost assets. Unlike funds held in insured banking institutions, our digital assets are not protected by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. If our digital assets are lost under circumstances that render another party liable, there is no guarantee that the responsible party will have the financial resources
to compensate us. As a result, we and our stockholders could face significant financial losses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The irreversibility of digital asset transactions
exposes us to risks of theft, loss and human error, which could negatively impact our business. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Digital asset transactions are
not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the transaction or, in theory, control or consent of a majority of the processing power on that digital asset network. Once a
transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer of digital assets or a theft of digital assets generally will not be reversible, and we may not be capable of seeking compensation for any
such transfer or theft. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Although we plan to regularly transfer digital assets to or from vendors, consultants and services providers, it
is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, such assets could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Changes in the accounting treatment of cryptocurrency holdings could have significant accounting impacts, including increasing the volatility of our
results. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-08,</FONT> which upon our adoption will
require us to measure <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> cryptocurrency assets at fair value in our statement of financial position, and to recognize gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our cryptocurrency in net income
each reporting period. ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-08</FONT> will also require us to provide certain interim and annual disclosures with respect to our cryptocurrency holdings. The standard is effective for our interim and annual
periods beginning January&nbsp;1, 2025, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period in which we adopt the guidance. Due in particular to the volatility in the
price of cryptocurrencies, we expect the adoption of ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-08</FONT> to have a material impact on our financial results in future periods, increase the volatility of our financial results, and affect the carrying
value of our cryptocurrency on our balance sheet, and it could also have adverse tax consequences, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our common stock. Additionally, as a result of ASU
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-08</FONT> requiring a cumulative-effect adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period in which we adopt the guidance and not permitting retrospective restatement
of our historical financial statements, our future results will not be comparable to results from periods prior to our adoption of the guidance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The broader digital assets industry, including the technology associated with digital assets, the rate of adoption and development of, and use
cases for, digital assets, market perception of digital assets, and the legal, regulatory, and accounting treatment of digital assets are constantly developing and changing, and there may be additional risks in the future that are not possible to

intend to primarily own cryptocurrency directly, we may investigate other potential approaches to owning cryptocurrencies, including indirect ownership (for example, through ownership interests in a fund that owns cryptocurrencies and deemed
ownership via ownership of cryptocurrency derivative assets). If we were to own all or a portion of our cryptocurrencies in a different manner, the accounting treatment for our cryptocurrencies, our ability to use our cryptocurrencies as collateral
for additional borrowings, and the regulatory requirements to which we are subject, may correspondingly change. For example, the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies may force us to liquidate our holdings to use it as collateral, which could be
negatively impacted by any disruptions in the cryptocurrency market, and if liquidated, the value of the collateral would not reflect potential gains in market value of our cryptocurrency. </P>

price; limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets; relative anonymity; a developing regulatory landscape; potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation; compliance and internal control failures at
exchanges; and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our cryptocurrency at favorable prices or at all. Further, cryptocurrency
which we hold with our custodians does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation. If we are unable to sell our cryptocurrency, enter into additional capital raising transactions using cryptocurrency as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our cryptocurrency holdings, or if we are forced to sell
our cryptocurrency at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted. </P>

For example, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable, sometimes for extended periods of time, or until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement
adequate preventative measures. Further, there has been an increase in such activities due to the increase in work-from-home arrangements. The risk of cyberattacks could also be increased by cyberwarfare in connection with the ongoing

custodians&#8217; estates in the event that any such custodians were to enter bankruptcy, receivership or similar insolvency proceedings, we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of such custodians, inhibiting our ability to exercise
ownership rights with respect to such cryptocurrencies and this may ultimately result in the loss of the value related to some or all of such assets. A series of recent high-profile bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement
actions and other events relating to companies operating in the digital asset industry, the closure or liquidation of certain financial institutions that provided lending and other services to the digital assets industry, and the filing and
subsequent settlement of a civil fraud lawsuit have highlighted the counterparty risks applicable to owning and transacting in digital assets. These bankruptcies, closures, liquidations and other events have likely negatively impacted the adoption
rate and use of cryptocurrencies. Additional bankruptcies, closures, liquidations, regulatory enforcement actions or other events involving participants in the digital assets industry in the future may further negatively impact the adoption rate,
price, and use of cryptocurrencies, limit the availability to us of financing collateralized by such assets, or create or expose additional counterparty risks. Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any
insurance coverage we maintain related to our cryptocurrencies. Even if we are able to prevent our cryptocurrencies from being considered the property of a custodian&#8217;s bankruptcy estate as part of an insolvency proceeding, it is possible that
we would still be delayed or may otherwise experience difficulty in accessing our cryptocurrencies held by the affected custodian during the pendency of the insolvency proceedings. Any such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and the market price of our listed securities. </P>
