THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of [__], 2014, is made by and between Bitcoin Shop Inc. f/k/a TouchIt Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and [___], the holder of the Company’s convertible note (“Holder”).

WHEREAS, on May 7, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note to Denville and Dover Fund LLC (“D&D”) in the principal amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)  (the “Original Note”);

WHEREAS, on January 24, 2014, pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), D&D sold $[__]  in principal amount of the Original Note to the Holder and the Company and the Holder agreed to amend and restate certain terms contained in the Original Note (such amended and restated purchased note, the “Note”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company desires to exchange with the Holder, and the Holder desires to exchange with the Company, the Note for shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

Additionally, the Holder hereby waives any and all unpaid interest accrued on the Note, as of the date of the Original Note and releases the Company from any payment thereof or obligation in connection therewith.

2.             Closing.

h.           Headings.  The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

 

 

i.           Independent Nature of the Holder’s Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the Holder under the Exchange Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder of Preferred Stock (each, an “Other Holder”) under any other agreement to acquire Preferred Stock (each, an “Other Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holders under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other Exchange Document, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto or any Other Holder pursuant to any Other Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder or any Other Holder as, and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and any Other Holder are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents, any other agreement or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents and any Other Agreement. The decision of the Holder to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Exchange Documents has been made by the Holder independently of any Other Holder. The Holder acknowledges that no Other Holder has acted as agent for the Holder in connection with the Holder making its acquisition hereunder and that no Other Holder will be acting as agent of the Holder in connection with monitoring the Holder’s Securities or enforcing its rights under the Exchange Documents.  The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any of the other Exchange Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. To the extent that any of the Other Holders and the Company enter into the same or similar documents, all such matters are solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of the Holder, and would be solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holder or any Other Holder.  For clarification purposes only and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents include only the transaction between the Company and the Holder and do not include any other transaction between the Company and any Other Holder.

 

j.           Most Favored Nation.  The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder in any Other Agreement, is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder and this Agreement.  If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company desires to enter into an Other Agreement, then (i) the Company shall provide prior written notice thereof to the Holder and (ii) upon execution by the Company and such Other Holder of such Other Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Other Agreement and the Securities shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Other Agreement, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement or the Securities (as the case may be) shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder.

 

 

l.           Reporting Status.  Until the date on which the Holder no longer holds any of the New Shares (the “Reporting Period”), the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall continue to timely file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise no longer require or permit such filings.

 

m.           Listing.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all of the New Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed or designated for quotation (as the case may be) (subject to official notice of issuance) (but in no event later than the date of this Agreement) and shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing or designation for quotation (as the case may be) of all New Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of this Agreement on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.  The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s listing or authorization for quotation (as the case may be) on the Principal Market, The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (each, an “Eligible Market”).  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on an Eligible Market.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 8(m).

 

n.           Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by the Holder in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities.  The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and if the Holder effects a pledge of Securities it shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Agreement.  The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by the Holder.
