3.2 The payment date shall be the date as evidenced in the remittance copy of such payment. Interest shall not be charged when the respective amounts have been received by Crypt in full according to the agreed payment schedule.

3.3 In the event that the Purchaser fails to fully settle the respective percentage of the Total Purchase Price with respect to the Products before the applicable prescribed deadline(s) in accordance with Appendix B of this Agreement, Crypt shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to request the Purchaser to pay a reasonable liquidated damage (with the understanding such amount is reasonable and shall not constitute a penalty as set forth in Clause 23 of this Agreement) of 20% of the Total Purchase Price (“Liquidated Damages”) within sixty (60) days after such applicable deadline. In the event that the Purchaser fails to pay the Liquidated Damages after the expiration of the applicable final payment deadline, Crypt shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, or resell the Products to other customers. If there is any remaining balance of the Purchaser after deducting the Liquidated Damages, such remaining balance shall be refunded to the Purchaser free of any interest.

If any payment is subject to tax withholding, the Purchaser shall pay such additional amounts as necessary, to

PAGE 10 / 27

ensure that Crypt receives the full amount it would have received had payment not been subject to such tax withholding. Except for the fees explicitly agreed to be borne by Crypt, any other fees not included in the Total Purchase Price shall be borne by the Purchaser. Pursuant to the relevant tax-related laws and regulations, the Parties are responsible for their own tax expenses related to this Agreement in accordance with their own tax payment obligations.

4. Delivery of Product(s)

4.1. Crypt may issue the Purchaser a notice of self-pick-up to require the Purchaser to pick up the Products at Bitmain’s facility in Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand, as the case may be, once the Products are available for pick up in accordance with the schedule set forth in Appendix A. Once the notice of self-pick-up has been issued by Crypt, Crypt shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to supply the Products to the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Products shall be fully covered by Bitmain’s then effective cargo insurance policy, the limitations of which are set out in Appendix A.

Furthermore, if the Purchaser requests for Crypt’s assistance with respect to redelivery of such Product(s) or assist in any other manner, and if Crypt at its sole discretion decides to provide assistance or agrees to assist, then in addition to the Return Expenses, the Purchaser shall also pay Crypt an administrative fee mutually agreed upon by both parties.
