Master XRP Commitment to Sell Agreement

This Master XRP Commitment to Sell Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of September 12, 2022 (“Effective Date”) and is between Ripple Labs Singapore Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore (“Company”) and GEA Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Purchaser”). Company and Purchaser are hereby referred to as “Party” individually and together as “Parties.”

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

1. | XRP COMMITMENT

| (a) | Commitment. From time to time, the Parties may enter into transactions in which Company will make available XRP, the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger (“XRP”), for purchase by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement. Each such transaction is referenced herein as a “Commitment” and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, is to be governed by this Agreement.

| (b) | Commitment Procedure and Terms.

| (i) | In order to initiate a Commitment, Company shall promptly deliver to Purchaser via email a written confirmation of the Commitment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Terms of XRP Commitment”) that contains information including:

| 1) | Purchaser’s Bailment Account address and the destination tag;

| 2) | the total XRP units subject to the Commitment, referred to as the “Committed XRP”; and

| 3) | the maturity date for such Commitment (the “Maturity Date”).

| (ii) | Unless Purchaser countersigns the Terms of XRP Commitment and submits an electronic countersigned copy to Company, Company will not complete the Commitment. The countersigned Terms of XRP Commitment, together with this Agreement, shall constitute the terms agreed between Company and Purchaser with respect to the Commitment to which the Terms of XRP Commitment relates.
| (iii) | Subject to any and all rights Company may have in Section 1(d), upon receipt by Company of an electronic countersigned copy of the Terms of XRP Commitment from Purchaser, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Committed XRP to the Bailment Account within two (2) Business Days, or, if later, the Commitment delivery date specified on the Terms of XRP Commitment.
| (iv) | The Commitment will be deemed ‘complete’ upon delivery of the Committed XRP to the Purchaser under the Terms of XRP Commitment and as recorded on the distributed ledger to which XRP is native (“XRP Ledger”). The Company will only be obligated to complete a Commitment in the event that Purchaser returns a countersigned Terms of XRP Commitment within twenty-four (24) hours from the time Company sends such Terms of XRP Commitment to Purchaser, after which the terms of the Commitment as reflected in the Terms of XRP Commitment will expire.
| (v) | After completion of the Commitment, Company shall provide to Purchaser a receipt, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix B and adapted as appropriate. Once completed, a Commitment cannot be cancelled, reversed or changed; provided however, Company reserves the right to substitute any or all XRP held in the Bailment Account for other XRP upon reasonable notice to Purchaser.

| 1 |

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (vi) | In all events, and in its sole discretion, Company reserves the right to refuse to complete, or to otherwise cancel, any pending Commitment prior to receipt of Purchaser’s countersignature to the applicable Terms of XRP Commitment, even after the delivery of the Terms of XRP Commitment to Purchaser. The Company will have no liability to Purchaser if Company exercises the right set forth in the preceding sentence.

| (c) | Bailment Account. With respect to each Commitment, Company shall transfer such Committed XRP to a Purchaser’s digital asset account mutually agreed by the Parties, such account being directly and wholly controlled by Purchaser (the “Bailment Account”), to be used specifically and solely in accordance with this Agreement or another agreement Purchaser may have entered into with Company.

| (d) | Bailment Relationship. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the transfer of Committed XRP by Company to Purchaser’s Bailment Account pursuant to Section 1(c) is for administrative convenience to facilitate Purchaser’s ability to purchase Committed XRP at market price in accordance with Section 2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the mere transfer of Committed XRP by Company to Purchaser’s Bailment Account pursuant to Section 1(c) is not a sale or purchase of such Committed XRP by Purchaser, is not a transfer or conveyance of legal title of the Committed XRP to Purchaser, and that Purchaser holds Committed XRP as a bailee until Purchaser withdraws the Committed XRP pursuant to Section 2(a), which shall cause legal title to such Committed XRP to transfer to Purchaser. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither party shall treat Company’s mere transfer of Committed XRP to Purchaser’s Bailment Account as a sale or exchange for financial reporting purposes or for purposes of the United States Internal Revenue Code or state and local tax law purposes, for the purposes of the relevant tax laws in Singapore or any other applicable jurisdiction, or any other purpose. Neither Party shall take a financial or tax reporting position, make a disclosure, or file a tax return with an applicable tax authority inconsistent with the foregoing.

| (e) | Bailment Account Designation. Purchaser agrees to identify and designate the Bailment Account in Purchaser’s books and records as a bailment account subject to this Agreement.

| (f) | No Commingling. Purchaser agrees to not deposit, commingle, or hold any XRP in the Bailment Account other than XRP transferred by Company pursuant to the Agreement or other XRP held by Purchaser as bailee on behalf of Company. If Purchaser breaches this Section 1(f), Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn all Unpurchased XRP (defined below) and Other Assets (defined below) then held in the Bailment Account, and shall purchase of all such Unpurchased XRP at the Breach Price, as provided in Section 3(n), and Other Assets at their fair market value, with both rates calculated as of 12:00:01 AM PST on the date such commingling occurred.

| (g) | No Encumbrance. Purchaser represents and warrants that the Bailment Account and the digital assets held therein are not subject to any pledge, security interest, lien, or encumbrance. Further, Purchaser agrees to not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Bailment Account or the Committed XRP or Other Assets (if any) therein prior to purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Purchaser breaches this Section 1(g), Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn all Unpurchased XRP (defined below) and Other Assets (defined below) then held in the Bailment Account, and shall purchase all such Unpurchased XRP at the Breach Price, as provided in Section 3(o), and any Other Assets at their fair market value, with both rates calculated at 12:00:01 AM PST on the date such breach occurred.

| (h) | Bailment Account Keys. Purchaser shall not share the public address of the Bailment Account with any third party other than Company and its affiliates. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the security of the Bailment Account created and maintained by Purchaser shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser.

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (i) | Return or Purchase of XRP. Without limiting Sections 1(f), 1(g), 1(h), 3(c), and 6, with respect to each Commitment, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, Purchaser may return the Committed XRP minus any Committed XRP under such Commitment that has been purchased by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2 (“Unpurchased XRP”). Subject to Purchaser’s compliance with Section 1(f), return of Unpurchased XRP shall be made from the Bailment Account and initiated by Purchaser notifying Company in writing. Company shall provide an address to Purchaser where such assets shall be sent. If Purchaser does not return such Unpurchased XRP to Company by 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date, at Company’s election in its sole discretion, (i) Purchaser shall pay Company an amount equal to the number of units of Unpurchased XRP multiplied by the Breach Price, as provided in Section 3(o), as of 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date, (ii) Company may exercise its power of attorney and gain control over the Unpurchased XRP in the Bailment Account or (iii) if Company elects to exercise its power of attorney and discovers that the number of units of XRP in the Bailment Account is less than the number of units of Unpurchased XRP, then Purchaser shall pay Company an amount equal to the difference between the number of units of Unpurchased XRP minus the actual number of units of XRP in the Bailment Amount multiplied by the Breach Price, as provided in Section 3(o), as of 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date. Each such payment must be made within five (5) Business Days following the Maturity Date.

| (j) | Return or Purchase of Other Assets. Without limiting Sections 1(f), 1(g), 1(h), 3(c), and 6, Purchaser shall deliver to the Company any other asset, property, right, or entitlement arising from a split, fork, airdrop, or similar occurrence of the Committed XRP (collectively “Other Assets”), with such delivery being made to a digital asset account wallet identified by Company, unless Company waives its rights to such Other Assets. Return of Other Assets shall be initiated by Purchaser notifying Company in writing. Company shall identify a digital asset wallet address to Purchaser where such assets shall be sent. If Purchaser does not return such Other Assets to Company by 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date, at Company’s election in its sole discretion, (i) Purchaser shall pay Company the fair market value of such Other Assets as of 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date, (ii) Company may exercise its power of attorney and gain control over the Other Assets in the Bailment Account or (iii) if Company elects to exercise its power of attorney and discovers that the number of units of the Other Assets in the Bailment Account is less than the expected number of units of the Other Assets, then Purchaser shall pay Company an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the expected number of units of the Other Assets and the actual number of units of the Other Assets in the Bailment Account, as of 12:00:01 AM PST on the Maturity Date. Each such payment must be made within 5 Business Days following the Maturity Date.

| (k) | Automated Wallet Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, in Section 1(b) above:

(i) the Parties shall not be required to execute a Terms of XRP Commitment in order to initiate a Commitment pursuant to automated wallet funding (“AWF”) by Company of Committed XRP into the Bailment Account;

(ii) Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Committed XRP to the Bailment Account at a frequency and volume that Company anticipates will meet Purchaser’s needs based on proprietary software that considers, among other things, Purchaser’s historical usage and planned increases communicated to Company by Purchaser in writing;

(iii) the Maturity Date for Committed XRP delivered to the Bailment Account pursuant to AWF shall be 90 days from the applicable date of delivery; and

(iv) either Party may notify the other Party in writing to suspend or terminate the AWF service and such notice shall be deemed effective two Business Days after receipt in accordance with the notice provision of the Agreement; provided, however, any such notice to Company shall be emailed to awf@ripple.com. Upon the effectiveness of such notice, the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (k) shall no longer apply as to any transactions occurring after the effective date of said notice and the Parties shall revert to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and any amendments thereto other than this clause (k) with respect to any transactions occurring after such date.

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

2. | XRP PURCHASES AND FEES

| (a) | Withdrawal of XRP. Purchaser purchases Committed XRP from Company by withdrawing such Committed XRP from the Bailment Account. Each withdrawal of Committed XRP shall be converted into a USD purchase price based on Purchaser’s acceptance of a mutually agreed upon rate quote (“Market Rate”) facilitated by Company’s hosted service used to make payment transactions (“On-Demand Liquidity”). If Purchaser withdraws XRP outside of a mutually agreed upon rate quote managed by On-Demand Liquidity, the Market Rate shall be the USD/XRP Breach Price, provided in Section 3(o), as of the time of such withdrawal. Company shall retain reasonable records regarding the Market Rate on a per transaction basis. For the avoidance of doubt, upon each withdrawal, Purchaser shall be deemed to have purchased the Committed XRP from Company.

| (b) | Purchase Invoices. On a weekly basis for any week where Purchaser has withdrawn Committed XRP and in the absence of a Line of Credit Addendum (see Section 2(c) below), Company will invoice Purchaser for an amount of USD equal to the sum of all USD purchase prices for withdrawals for that week on the following Monday of the next week unless Parties have entered into a Line of Credit Addendum, in which case the invoice will include fees and a revised invoice due date based on the Line of Credit Addendum. Purchaser shall pay the Company the USD for the amount noted on the invoice by no later than 5 p.m. PST on the second Business Day from the invoice date, or if there is an accepted Credit Extension request, the due date of the invoice; provided, however, the invoice due date shall be extended by an additional Business Day for each day from the invoice date to the second Business Day thereafter that is a day on which commercial banks in Hong Kong are authorised or required by law to close. Purchaser shall send Company a receipt (i.e. confirmation of a wire transfer, etc.) confirming such payment on or before the invoice due date.

| (c) | Form of Credit Extension. Purchaser and Company may agree on a Credit Extension in writing based on the Line of Credit Addendum in the form attached hereto as Appendix E, which terms shall be incorporated herein insofar as the Line of Credit Addendum is executed by Purchaser and Company and subject further to the applicable conditions precedent identified in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) being met.

| (d) | Facility Fee. If a Line of Credit Addendum specifies a Facility fee, such fee will be invoiced by the Company as specified on a Line of Credit Addendum.

| (e) | Payment Timing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Purchaser shall be made to Company, at Company’s office in immediately available funds (such as, wire transfer of funds to a bank account specified by Company) by 11:00a.m. PST on the date specified herein. Payments of principal and/or fees received after 11:00 a.m. PST are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional interest or fees, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

| (f) | Default Rate. In the event that any undisputed invoices are past due, and without limiting its other rights or remedies, Company reserves the right to impose a late payment charge of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law (whichever is less) (the “Default Rate”) of the purchase prices for each day that payment thereof is due but not yet paid. Such late payment interest shall be compounded daily as of the due date until Company’s receipt of payment of the outstanding amount. Company reserves the right to treat non-payment of undisputed invoices and applicable taxes as a material breach of this Agreement.

3. | TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PURCHASE

| (a) | Conditions Precedent to initial Commitment and initial Credit Extension. The Company’s obligation to make the initial Commitment and/or initial Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Company shall consent to or shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Company, such documents, and completion of such other matters, as Company may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation:

| (i) | original Transaction Documents, each duly executed by Purchaser;

| 4 |

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (ii) | the Operating Documents, certified as a true copy by a director, officer, or secretary of Purchaser, and certificates of legal existence of Purchaser, as of a date no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the Effective Date;

| (vi) | the representations and warranties in Section 4 hereof shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date of the Commitment and on the Funding Date of such Credit Extension; provided, however, that (1) such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and (2) those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result from such Commitment or Credit Extension; and

| (vii) | confirmation by Company, in its reasonable discretion, that there has not been any Material Adverse Change as of the Effective Date.

| (b) | Conditions Precedent to further Commitment and Increased Credit Extension. Except in the case of the initial Commitment and/or initial Credit Extension, Company’s obligation to make a Commitment or any Increased Credit Extension is subject to the condition precedent that Company shall consent to or shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Company, such documents, and completion of such other matters, as Company may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation:

| (iii) | representations and warranties in Section 4 hereof shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date of the Commitment and on the Funding Date of such Increased Credit Extension; provided, however, that (1) such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and (2) those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date, and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result from such Commitment or Increased Credit Extension.

| 5 |

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (c) | Restrictions on Committed XRP. Purchaser represents that it is not purchasing and will not purchase Committed XRP for investment purposes or with an expectation of profit. Purchaser agrees to only sell, trade or otherwise transact with, the Committed XRP for the sole purpose of completing a payment transaction over On-Demand Liquidity through parties or exchanges that have been authorized for use with On-Demand Liquidity. Company may monitor Purchaser’s Bailment Account and On-Demand Liquidity activity to evaluate compliance with such requirements. In the event Company reasonably believes Purchaser has breached the foregoing requirements, Company is entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the Purchaser, and Purchaser shall return all Unpurchased XRP along with any Other Assets within five (5) Business Days in accordance with Section 1(i) and 1(j), as applicable. For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s failure to complete a transaction over On-Demand Liquidity for any reason (including any third party error or malfunction of On- Demand Liquidity) will not excuse Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement, including (without limitation) any return of Unpurchased XRP or payment for withdrawn Committed XRP.

| (d) | Taxes/Set-offs and Increased Payment Amount. All payments made by the Purchaser under this Agreement, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, set-offs, counterclaims, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of or in addition to net income taxes) imposed on the Company as a result of a present or former connection between the Company and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Company having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, set-offs, counterclaims, deductions or withholdings (“Non Excluded Taxes”) or other taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Company hereunder, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document, the amounts so payable to the Company shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Company (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and other taxes) the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in respect of the purchase of the Committed XRP in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding, and interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document, at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document. The Purchaser shall pay all Non Excluded Taxes, it being understood and agreed that the Company shall be entitled but not obliged to pay any such Non Excluded Taxes and the Purchaser shall on demand indemnify the Company against those Non Excluded Taxes and against any costs and expenses so incurred by it in discharging them. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is not responsible for any taxes that Purchaser is legally obligated to pay in any jurisdiction in which such taxes are incurred or arise in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition and/or purchase of the Committed XRP, its entry into the Transaction Documents or its business activities (under this Agreement, any Line of Credit Addendum or any other Transaction Document or otherwise). The Purchaser must pay all sums due to the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in full, without setoff, abatement, discount, counterclaim or reduction. The obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

| (e) | Financial Statements and Information. During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser will provide financial statements and other information as reasonably requested in writing by Company. In the event of a Material Adverse Change, Purchaser shall immediately inform Company in writing. Company may demand in its sole discretion and if so demanded Purchaser agrees to pay the Breach Price for all Committed XRP in the Bailment Account upon invoice.

| (f) | Compliance Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement, no more frequently than once per year, at the sole cost of Company, and provided that Company gives Purchaser 14 days prior written notice, Company may audit Purchaser’s policies, procedures and records relating to its compliance with Requirement of Law related to its anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, economic sanctions and asset control programs (collectively, “Compliance Programs”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company and its affiliates may audit Purchaser more frequently in the event (i) a Governmental Authority requires Company to perform an audit, (ii) Company reasonably believes an audit is necessary to address a threat or material risk to its business or (iii) a prior audit has resulted in findings of non-compliance with Requirement of Law, or significant deficits in its Compliance Programs (collectively, “Negative Findings”). In the event that an audit results in any Negative Findings, Company may in its sole discretion (a) terminate this Agreement, or (b) provide Purchaser with 30 days to remediate such Negative Findings and provide Company evidence of such remediation, which Company shall judge the sufficiency of within its sole discretion. Purchaser’s failure to reasonably cooperate with any audit shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

| 6 |

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (g) | Notice of Personnel Changes. In the event that Purchaser’s Bank Secrecy Act Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, the equivalents thereof, or any other key management personnel responsible for Purchaser’s Compliance Programs is replaced or leaves Purchaser’s organization (“Personnel Change”), Purchaser shall give Company notice of such Personnel Change, including the date of its occurrence and any interim or replacement plans within 14 days of it taking effect.

| (h) | Risk of Loss. Immediately upon Company’s delivery of the Committed XRP to the Bailment Account, all risk of loss related to such Committed XRP passes to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Company has no liability to Purchaser or any third party for any loss, theft or misuse of any XRP that Company has delivered to Purchaser as provided in this Agreement.

| (i) | Purchaser Acknowledgment. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Committed XRP does not represent a right to make any demand on Company, (ii) Company has no obligation to redeem or exchange the Committed XRP for monetary value, goods, services or any other item, (iii) Company is not responsible for any use by Purchaser or any third party of the Committed XRP, (iv) Purchaser does not have the right to receive periodic account statements and valuations from Company, (v) XRP is not intended to constitute securities of any form, units in a business trust, units in a collective investment scheme or any other form of regulated investment or investment product in any jurisdiction, (vi) this Agreement is not to be construed, interpreted, classified or treated as enabling, or according any opportunity to, Purchaser to participate in or receive profits, income, or other payments or returns arising from or in connection with Company or its Affiliates, XRP, or the XRP Ledger, or to receive sums paid out of such profits, income, or other payments or returns, and (vii) this Agreement does not constitute a prospectus or offer document of any sort and is not intended to constitute an offer of securities of any form, units in a business trust, units in a collective investment scheme or any other form of regulated investment or investment product in any jurisdiction or a solicitation for any form of investment in any jurisdiction.

| (j) | Responsibility to Purchaser’s Purchasers. Purchaser is responsible for all Purchaser service and other issues or claims that relate to Purchaser’s distribution or sale of the Committed XRP. Purchaser shall make no representations or warranties to any other party concerning, or on behalf of, Company.

| (k) | Publicity. Neither Party may issue any press release or make any other public statement with respect to this Agreement and its terms and conditions unless the content, timing and method of distribution of the press release or public statement has been approved in writing by the other Party.

| (l) | Confidentiality. Each Party shall maintain all Confidential Information it receives in strict confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, unless agreed upon in writing. A Party may disclose Confidential Information required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or a valid court order if that Party (i) gives the other Party timely notice, unless legally prohibited, so that other Party may seek a protective order, confidential treatment, or other appropriate relief and (ii) discloses only the portion of Confidential Information that is necessary to comply with such law, regulation, or order. The obligations in this sub-paragraph are in addition to, and do not supersede, any confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations provided in any other written agreement between the Parties. “Confidential Information” means the terms of this Agreement and any non-public information or materials provided by either Party to the other Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement, but does not include any information or materials that: (A) was previously known to the receiving party free of any obligation to keep it confidential in favor of the disclosing party, (B) becomes generally available to the public other than due to breach of its confidentiality obligations by the receiving party to the disclosing party, (C) is rightfully received from a third party under no obligation of confidence to the disclosing party, (D) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to any Confidential Information, or (E) is required or advisable to be disclosed by receiving party to comply with any Requirement of Law of any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that in a circumstance in which disclosure is compelled by a Requirement of Law, the party that is subject to such compelled disclosure shall limit the disclosure to only that information that must be disclosed to comply with such Requirement of Law and shall give the other party prompt prior notice of such compelled disclosure to the extent legally permissible so that the other party may seek to protect such information.

| 7 |

|  | CONFIDENTIAL

| (m) | Indemnification. Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Company, its affiliates, and their respective employees, shareholders, directors, and representatives (together with Company and its affiliates, or any of their respective employees, shareholders, directors or representatives the (“Company Indemnitees”)) harmless and settle against any Claim or Loss (as such terms are defined below), including attorneys’ fees and any fines, fees or penalties imposed by any Governmental Authority, arising out of or related to: (i) any violation of any Requirement of Law by Purchaser or Purchaser’s employees, directors, contractors, representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement, (ii) any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or Purchaser’s employees, directors, contractors, representatives or agents, and (iii) any use, distribution or resale of the Committed XRP by Purchaser or by Purchaser’s employees, directors, contractors, representatives or agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser is not obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, or defend Company against any claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities arising out of Company’s gross negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non- appealable judgment. “Claim” means any claim, action, audit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding brought or instituted against Company Indemnitees by a person or entity other than Purchaser. “Loss” means any claim, cost, loss, damage, judgment, penalty, interest and/or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any Claim.

| (n) | Indemnification Procedure. In connection with any Claim or Loss, Company shall give Purchaser prompt notice of the Claim or Loss; provided, however, that any delay in notification will not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to indemnify, except and solely to the extent that the delay actually prejudices Purchaser. In addition, Company will cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the defense and settlement of the Claim or Loss, with Purchaser having the right to choose counsel. Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any Claim or Loss without Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or compromise arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit, or proceeding, contains a stipulation to or admission or acknowledgement of any liability or wrongdoing (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) on the part of Company, or otherwise requires Company to refrain from or take material action (such as payment of fees). At its cost, Company has the right to participate in the defense or settlement of the Claim or Loss with counsel of its own choosing at Company’s own expense.

| (o) | Breach Price. The Breach Price is equal to the real-time, USD/XRP spot rate as published on https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/xrp/overview/USD, plus ten percent (10%).
