Any credit will be applied to the next month’s Fees due hereunder and, if this Agreement terminates prior to application of the applicable credit, such credit shall be treated as a reimbursement obligation by Company. This Agreement does not entitle User to any support for the Platform.

(ii)                Company may update or modify the Platform from time to time at Company’s sole discretion, and may require User to obtain and use the most recent version(s); provided, that if any such update materially decreases the functionality of the Platform, User may, at any time within 30 days of implementation of such updates and as its sole remedy, terminate this Agreement with 15 days prior written notice to Company.

(b)       User Responsibilities .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by User will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by User. User shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Platform, and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.

(ii)                User is responsible for supplying access to all data necessary to make use of the Platform, including NOBO and/or SPR data. User agrees to provide all the necessary documents requested by the Company to grant them access to said data.

4.       Payment.

As payment for the Fees (excluding Additional Fees) User will issue the Company 125,000 of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate amount of Fees divided the Purchase Price set at $4.00 USD per share (“Shares”).

(d)       Share Adjustment. For so long as the Company owns any Shares, if User or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, shall, except with respect to an Exempt Issuance, sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Purchase Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Purchase Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Purchase Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Purchase Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the User will issue the Company such additional Shares calculated as follows:

(X * (Y/Z)) – X

Where X shall mean the Shares held immediately before the Dilutive Event;

Collectively, the Initial Term and any subsequent Renewal Term will be referred to as the “Term.”

(b)       Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement: either party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the Terms of Use, and such breach is incapable of cure, or being capable of cure, remains uncured 30 days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach.

The provisions set forth in Sections 1, 5, 6, and 7 and 8 of this Agreement, and any other right or obligation of the parties in this Agreement, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement (including any terms related to ownership of intellectual property, confidentiality or indemnification), will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6.       Other Agreements of the Parties

(a)       Pledge of Shares. User acknowledges and agrees that Company may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Company may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the User and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. User will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares.

(b)       Removal of Restrictive Legend.

(i)       Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend, (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the User to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The User shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to its transfer agent promptly (and at no further cost to the Company) at any time after the Effective Date if the requirements of Rule 144 have been met, if required by the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend contained on the Shares at no charge to the Company. The User agrees that at such time as a restrictive legend is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144, it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Company to the User or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Certificates for the Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Company by crediting the account of the Company’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Company.

(ii)       Partial Liquidated Damages. In addition to the Company’s other available remedies, the User shall pay to the Company, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of value of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Shares are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit Company’s right to pursue actual damages for the User’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Shares, and the Company shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(iv)       No Election of Remedies. The remedies contained in this Section 6 are intended to be cumulative.

(c)       Piggyback Registration. The Company will be entitled to “piggyback” registration rights with regard to the Shares on all registration statements of the Company.

7.       General.

(a)       Notices. Each party shall deliver all communications in writing either in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, by email (with confirmation of transmission), or by recognized overnight courier service, and addressed to the other party at the addresses set forth above (or to such other address that the receiving party may designate from time to time in accordance with this section).

(b)       Marketing Materials. Company may reference its relationship with User on Company’s website and in its marketing materials; provided, that, Company’s specific use of User’s name is subject to User’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)       Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, including any terms incorporated herein, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written or oral understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties with respect to such subject matter. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

(d)       Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations without the express prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned without consent of the other party if there is a sale, merger or acquisition of all or a majority of the assets of a party, or if there is a sale of a controlling interest of such Party. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

(e)       No Amendment or Waiver. The parties may not amend this Agreement except by written instrument signed by the parties. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Company’s ability to unilaterally update or modify the Terms of Use in accordance with the terms thereof, with such modification not being considered an amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

(f)       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
