(a)
In addition to the Closing Parent Shares, Luna will be entitled to earn additional shares of Parent Common Stock, based upon Co-location MDCs being emptied and made available for use by Purchaser, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3(a). Within 10 Business Days of receipt of written notice from Luna that one or more Co-location MDCs have been emptied and made available for use by Purchaser (each, an “Empty Co-location MDC”) on a particular date, then, in respect of such Empty Co-location MDCs on such date, Parent will issue to Luna (or MIG as its designee, as directed by Luna (provided that Luna shall make the same designation if applible for both the Closing Parent Shares and the Earn-out Parent Shares)) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the result of (x) the Earn-Out Share Number (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events occurring after the date hereof), divided by (y) the number of Effective Date Co-Location MDCs, and multiplied by (z) the number of Co-location MDCs that became Empty Co-location MDC(s) on such date. Any additional shares of Parent Common Stock earned by Luna in accordance with the foregoing are referred to as “Earn-out Parent Shares”, and the maximum number of Earn-out Parent Shares has a value of Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($4,500,000.00) as of the Effective Date (based upon the volume weighted average price of the Parent Common Stock over the five trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date). For the purpose of calculating the issue of Earn-out Shares for Empty Co-location MDCs emptied on or after the 196th day post-Closing, the Earn-out Share Number shall be reduced to 84% of the original Earn-out Share Number and on each day thereafter, the Earn-out Share Number shall be reduced by an additional 1% of the original Earn-out Share Number (in each case, subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events occurring after the date hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Earn-out Shares shall be earned after the date that is one hundred (100) days following the 180th day post-Closing, and Earn-out Parent Shares may be used to satisfy

indemnification obligations as provided in Section 22.4(d). The number of Earn-out Parent Shares issued to Seller, less any reductions, shall not be lower than zero (0).

For the avoidance of doubt, this formula will operate in the following manner:

i.
If all Co-location MDC’s are empty on or before the 195th day post-Closing, Luna will receive 100% of the Earn-out Parent Shares.

 

ii. If all Co-Location MDC’s are emptied on the 196th day post-Closing, Luna would receive 84% of the Earn-out Parent Shares and for every day thereafter on which the Co-Location MDCs are emptied (assuming they are all emptied on the same day) such percentage would be reduced by an additional 1 percentage point until one hundred (100) days following the 180th day post Closing, when such Earn-Out Shares can no longer be earned.

 

iii. Assuming there are fifteen (15) total Effective Date Co-Location MDCs, and if five (5) Co-location MDCs are emptied on or before the 195th day post-Closing, and the remaining ten (10) Co-location MDCs are emptied on the 200th day post-Closing, Luna will receive shares as follows:

Step 1 Co-location MDC’s emptied on day 195: (x) Earnout Share Number divided by (y) 15 multiplied by (z) 5; plus,

Step 2 Co-location MDC’s emptied on day 200: (x) Earnout Share Number minus 20% of the Earnout Share Number divided by (y) 15 multiplied by (z) 10.

For the sake of example from (iii) above, if there are 1,000,000 Earnout Shares, Luna would receive:

Step 1 Co-location MDC’s emptied on day 195: (x) 1,000,000 divided by (y) 15 multiplied by (z) 5 = 333,333.33

Step 2 Co-location MDC’s emptied on day 200: (x) 1,000,000 less 20%=800,000 divided by (y) 15 multplied by (z) 10 = 533,333.33

Step 3= Add up results from Step 1 and Step 2 such that 333,333.33 + 533,333.33 = 866,667 Parent Shares.

(b) The parties hereto understand and agree that (i) neither Parent nor Purchaser nor any of their respective affiliates is obligated to take any action to cause the Co-location MDCs to be emptied and made available for use by Purchaser or otherwise to facilitate Luna’s earning of the Earn-Out Parent Shares, other than to allow Seller and its representatives access to the Land and the Co-location MDCs during normal business hours in order to undertake the necessary work to qualify for the Earn-out Parent Shares, (ii) neither Parent nor Purchaser nor any of their respective affiliates will

In this section, "Co-location MDC” means a modular data center on the Land occupied by Luna Squares LLC, or its customer’s mining equipment at the Effective Date, and “Effective Date Co-location MDCs” is the number of Co-location MDCs as at the Effective Date.

All Taxes required to be paid by the tenant under the Lease for the calendar year of the Closing shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 P.M. eastern time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. If the actual amount of such Taxes for the calendar year of Closing is not known as of the Closing Date, the proration at the Closing will be based on the most current ad valorem tax billing information available and Purchaser and Seller agree to adjust said proration after the Closing upon receipt of the actual bills.

Purchaser and Parent hereby waive and release any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller or seek or claim a refund of said Earnest Money (or any part thereof) on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that its retention by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages; and

Seller’s Default. If circumstances exist that would allow Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1.2.1, Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole election and as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies, either (i) obtain specific performance of this Agreement against Seller including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all out of pocket expenses related to such matter; or (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1.2.1 and Purchaser will receive the Earnest Money and all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. Further, in any case where Seller’s material breach is the result of a willful misrepresentation or a willful act or refusal to act and, as a result, specific performance is not a practically available remedy for Purchaser, in addition to Purchaser being refunded all Earnest Money,

Should Purchaser (1) fail to timely deliver its ROFR Exercise Notice, or (2) decline to exercise its Right of First Refusal as to the subject Other Mining Property, then Purchaser’s Right of First Refusal only with respect to such subject Other Mining Property under this Section 18.01 shall be deemed waived, and Seller Party (or Selling Parties) shall be free to sell or lease, as the case may be, such Other Mining Property to such Third-Party Offeror within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the fourteen (14) day period prescribed herein and upon terms substantially similar to Third-Party Offeror’s offer or offers, but in no event shall the purchase price (or lease rental) be less than the amount set forth in Third-Party Offeror’s offer or offers.

In addition to the foregoing, during the fourteen (14) day period after Purchaser’s receipt of the Selling Party ROFR Notice, starting with the date of the receipt of the Selling Party ROFR Notice, the applicable Selling Party (or Selling Parties) shall permit Purchaser and its agents reasonable access during business hours to the subject Other Mining Property from time to time for the purpose of inspecting, studying, measuring and otherwise analyzing the same.

Should (1) Purchaser fail to timely deliver its Offer, or (2) the applicable Selling Party (or Selling Parties) reject or decline such Offer, then Purchaser’s Right of First Offer only with respect to such subject Other Mining Property under this Section 18.02 shall be deemed null and void, and Seller Party (or Selling Parties) shall be free to sell or lease such Other Mining Property to an unrelated third party within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the fourteen (14) day period (if Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Offer) or the ten (10) day period (if Purchaser timely delivers the Offer and Seller Party (or Seller Parties) reject or decline such Offer), as the case may be and prescribed herein, and upon terms substantially similar to Purchaser’s Offer, but in no event shall the purchase price (or lease rental) be less than the amount set forth in Purchaser’s Offer, if given. Should the one hundred twenty (120) day period pass without such sale or lease occurring, the terms of this Right of First Offer shall continue in full force and effect as to the subject Other Mining Property, and the applicable Selling Party (or Selling Parties), if it desires to sell or lease such Other Mining Property during the ROFO Period, shall again comply with all the terms of this Section 18.02.

 

In addition to the foregoing, during the fourteen (14) day period after Purchaser’s receipt of the Selling Party ROFO Notice, starting with the date of the receipt of the Selling Party ROFO Notice, the applicable Selling Party (or Selling Parties) shall permit Purchaser and its agents reasonable access during business hours to the subject Other Mining Property from time to time for the purpose of inspecting, studying, measuring and otherwise analyzing the same. Any sale or lease of the Other Mining Property in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void.

of 15% per annum will apply to any amounts unpaid when due. The Total Loan Amount with accrued but unpaid interest shall be repaid at the end of sixty (60) days after Closing. The Seller Financing will be evidenced by a secured promissory note substantially in the form in Exhibit “G” (the “Note”) and all obligations due under the Note shall be guaranteed by Parent and secured by a first priority security interest in the assets being sold by Seller to Purchaser, substantially in the form in Exhibit “G” (the “Security Agreement”).

19.02 Megawatt Earnout.

(a) The Seller shall be entitled to an additional Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (“Megawatt Earnout”), if and only if, the following condition is satisfied: the Purchaser receives written confirmation reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that it will be able to utilize at least an additional 150 MW of power on the Land (the “Power Confirmation”), beyond the current 80MW of power on the Land as of the Effective Date. Once the Power Confirmation condition has been satisfied, the Megawatt Earnout payment shall be made on the later of the following events to occur: (x) sixty (60) days after Closing or (y) ten (10) Business Days after satisfaction of the Power Confirmation condition. Whichever party receives the Power Confirmation must immediately notify the other party.

(b) In the event that the Power Confirmation confirms that Purchaser will be able to utilize more than 80 MW but less than 230 MW (in total) on the Land, then the Seller is entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Megawatt Earnout in an amount equal to Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) multiplied by a fraction: (x) the numerator of which is (1) the amount of power that is more than 80 MW but less than 230 MW (in total on the Land) that is confirmed, less (2) 80MW and (y) the denominator of which is 150MW. Such pro-rated amount will be payable to Seller upon the later of the following events to occur: (x) sixty (60) days after Closing or (y) ten (10) Business Days after satisfaction of the Power Confirmation Condition. The maximum amount payable to Seller under this 19.2(b) is $2,000,000.

For avoidance of doubt and by way of example if the Power Confirmation states that a total of 140MW will be available then the amount due to Luna under Section 19.2(b) is equal to:

Step 1: $2,000,000 multiplied by (x) (1) 140MW - (2) 80MW/ (y) 150MW

Step 2: $2,000,000 multipled by (x) 60MW/ (y) 150MW

Step 3: $2,000,000 multiplied by 40%= $800,000 which is due to Luna.

(c) If a Power Confirmation is not received by the 6th month anniversary of the Closing Date, then Purchaser is not obligated to pay any Megawatt Earnout to Luna and it is null and void and of no further force and effect.

 

(d)The Parties must use best efforts to obtain Power Confirmation of the additional 150 MW.
