If an Affiliate of Issuer is to issue the Securities, the Parties and such Affiliate shall enter into a Joinder Agreement to formally appoint Securitize as transfer agent for such Affiliate’s Securities and for such Affiliate to assume the obligations of an Issuer hereunder.

ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

Securitize is authorized and directed to issue Securities of the Issuer, including digital tokenized representations of the Securities on the blockchain, from time to time upon receiving from the Issuer all of the following:

3.1.

Written instructions as to the issuance of the Securities from an authorized officer of the Issuer.

3.2.

A certified copy of any order, consent, decree or other governmental authorization existing as of the date of issue of the Securities.

3.3.

An opinion of the Issuer’s counsel that (i) the Securities are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) the issuance of the Securities has been registered under the Securities Act (as amended), or, if exempt from registration, the basis of such exemption, and (iii) no order or consent of any governmental or regulatory authority other than that provided to Securitize is required in connection with the issuance of the Securities or, if no such order or consent is required, a statement to that effect. The opinion should also indicate whether it is necessary that the Securities be subject to transfer restrictions or a statement to the effect that all Securities to be issued are freely transferable upon presentation to Securitize for that purpose.

3.4.

Such further documents as Securitize may reasonably request.

REGISTRAR; TRANSFER OF SECURITIES.

4.1.

Securitize is authorized and directed to act as the official registrar of the Securities.

4.2.

Securitize is authorized and directed to make transfers of Securities from time to time upon the books of the Issuer as maintained by Securitize. Securities, in either certificated or book entry form (or other appropriate form of ownership), will be transferred or exchanged upon the surrender of the old Securities (or appropriate instructions in the case of noncertificated shares) in form reasonably deemed by Securitize to be properly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by such documents as Securitize may deem necessary to evidence the authority of the person making the transfer. Securitize reserves the right to refuse to transfer Securities until it has received reasonable assurance that each necessary endorsement is genuine and effective, that the transfer of the Securities is legally valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is otherwise legally in order. For that purpose, Securitize may require an acceptable guaranty of the signature of the person signing and appropriate assurance of authority to do so. Securitize may rely upon the Uniform Commercial Code, Applicable Law, and generally accepted industry practice in effecting transfers, or in delaying or refusing to effect transfers. Securitize may delay or refuse to process any transfer that in its reasonable judgment appears improper or unauthorized. If, on a transfer of a restricted item, Issuer counsel fails to issue an opinion or to provide adequate reasons therefore within a “reasonable” number of business days of a request to do so, Securitize is authorized, but not required, to process such transfer upon receipt of an appropriate opinion of presenter’s counsel.

4.3.

Securitize shall be fully protected and held harmless in recognizing and acting upon written instructions of an authorized officer of the Issuer.

4.4.

When Securitize deems it expedient it may apply to the Issuer, or counsel for the Issuer, or to its own counsel for instructions and advice; the Issuer will promptly furnish or will cause its counsel to furnish such instructions and advice, and, for any action taken in accordance with such instructions or advice, or in case such instructions and advice shall not be promptly furnished, the Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless Securitize from any and all liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.

4.5.

The Issuer will at all times advise Securitize of any and all stop transfer notices or adverse claims lodged against Securities of the Issuer and further, will promptly notify Securitize when any such notices or claims have expired or been removed. Securitize is not otherwise responsible for stop transfer notices or adverse claims from either the Issuer or third parties unless it has received actual written notice.

PLATFORM SERVICES

Each Party will (directly or through its Affiliates or designated contractors provided however that delegation of any duty or obligation shall not relieve the Party of such duty or obligation) perform its duties and obligations in relation to such exhibits in a timely and professional manner consistent with industry standards. Issuer understands and agrees that delays or failure of Issuer or its representatives to deliver required content, information, instructions (including Issuer Instructions) or other materials reasonably requested by Securitize (collectively, “Issuer Materials”) in a timely manner will excuse Securitize from related performance requirements under this Agreement but only to the extent such delay materially caused or contributed to delays or disruption in the performance of Services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securitize reserves the right to prohibit transactions on the Platform until all Issuer Materials required by Securitize to perform such actions are provided, as determined in Securitize’s sole discretion. Unless otherwise specified in an exhibit, each Party is to bear its own costs and expenses of performance.

Issuer hereby assumes all prospective obligations, liabilities and duties attendant to the Issuer Smart Contract.

EXHIBIT B (“SERVICE LEVELS AND SUPPORT”)

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Securitize and/or its Affiliates will make the Platform and the Securitize Services available to the Issuer subject to the following service level requirements and limitations commencing upon the Effective Date:

AVAILABILITY/UPTIME FOR THE SECURITIZE ENVIRONMENT

1.1.

Securitize Environment. The “Securitize Environment” consists of the servers, storage and networking hardware, operating systems, database management systems and operating systems, as well as computers owned by Securitize and those of its agents, that are required to be provided by Securitize to provide the Platform services to the Issuer.

1.2.

Issuer Environment. The “Issuer Environment” consists of Issuer’s or third party servers, storage and networking hardware, operating systems, Internet connectivity, database management systems and operating platforms and all application software, as well as computers owned by Issuer and those of its agents and Affiliates, that are required to be provided by the Issuer in relation to its authorized use of the Platform under the Agreement.

1.3.

SLA. The following is the Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) for the Platform:

1.3.1.

Scheduled Maintenance. Periodic maintenance on the servers and system elements that support the Securitize Environment, for purposes of system upgrades, maintenance, and backup procedures (“Scheduled Maintenance”) will be scheduled by Securitize. Primary hours of Securitize service level standard support operations are 24x7, less Scheduled Maintenance. Scheduled Maintenance up to two (2) days per month, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., Pacific Time, or on some other schedule as determined by Securitize. If emergency maintenance is needed to fix critical security vulnerabilities, Securitize will notify Issuer as soon as possible. The Issuer acknowledges that it may be necessary for Securitize to begin work and/or apply fixes prior to notification of Issuer. Notification of Scheduled Maintenance will be sent via email at least 7 days in advance. Notification of emergency maintenance will both be called into Issuer at and sent via email to the email address identified in the Order Form as soon as is technically feasible.

1.3.2.

Unscheduled Maintenance. The application of ad hoc updates to the Platform (“Updates”) will be scheduled by Securitize in the event it is necessary for such Updates to occur outside of the Scheduled Maintenance times (“Unscheduled Maintenance”). Notification of Unscheduled Maintenance will be sent via email to the email address identified in the Order Form at least 1 day in advance.

1.3.3.

Securitize Environment Service Level. In addition to Scheduled Maintenance and Unscheduled Maintenance, there may be events that from time to time will make the Securitize Environment not Available (as defined below) for a limited amount of time due to unforeseen software, hardware, network, power and/or Internet outages (“Unscheduled Downtime”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Securitize shall have no liability for any failure to meet the Environment Performance Requirement set forth herein in the event that: (a) such failure is caused by independent, external circumstances that are not within the reasonable control of Securitize; (b) the outage condition is not directly caused by the Securitize Environment (e.g., outages caused by plant issues, operational or maintenance errors in Issuer Environment); or (c) the failure to implement any fixes, patches or other workarounds recommended by Securitize to Issuer to the extent the implementation of such fixes, patches or other workarounds are technically feasible and commercially practical.

1.3.4.

Securitize and/or its Affiliates will operate the Securitize Environment, as set forth below, to be Available and functioning within the relevant SLA defined herein, measured on a monthly basis (the “Environment Performance Requirement”). For the purposes of this SLA Addendum, “Available” means that the Securitize Environment is accessible based on SLA measurement techniques for ninety-nine and five tenths percent (99.5%) of the time 24 hours a day, seven days per week, excluding Scheduled Maintenance or any loss or interruption of services resulting from actions or inactions of Issuer, or their respective equipment or service providers. Actual availability percentage will be calculated with the following formula:

100% minus [((X) Total Unscheduled Downtime and Unscheduled Maintenance minutes in a month; divided by (Y) total minutes in said month); multiplied by (Z) 100%] = availability percentage

Uptime measurements are on fifteen minute intervals, utilizing Keynote UP5 measurements or another equivalent, technically feasible and commercially-reasonable measurement technique.

SUPPORT SERVICES
