13
 

(d)          Each of the other Holders may exercise its rights under Section 6.06(a) above by providing written notice to the Selling Holder within thirty (30) days after the date of delivering the Tag-Along Notice.

6.07        Transferees. Any transferee acquiring Company Securities of a Holder as permitted under this Article VI will be deemed to be a Holder concurrently with the effectiveness of the Transfer so long as such transferee, unless already a Holder, has, as a condition to such Transfer, executed a joinder agreement to this Agreement, agreeing thereby to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof. Upon execution of such joinder agreement, such transferee will be entitled to all of the rights and benefits and subject to all obligations and limitations under this Agreement of a Holder.

6.08        Investor’s Right to Purchase A Convertible Preferred Shares. The Investor is hereby granted the right to purchase shares of newly issued A Preferred Shares convertible into such number of Conversion Shares equal to ten (10%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of preferred stock of the Company convertible into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the date of the Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Exercise Date (the “Investor A Preferred Purchase Right”). The purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the A Preferred Shares shall be US $12,500,000 (the “Investor A Preferred Purchase Price”), which shall be paid in full in cash at the Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Closing (as defined below). The Investor A Preferred Purchase Right shall be exercisable only during the period commencing on the later to occur of (i) the date the Company’s broker/dealer ATS receives (a) FINRA approval, and (b) SEC approval to trade cryptographic security tokens (the latest of such dates, the “Start Date”) and terminating on the date thirty (30) days following the Start Date (the “Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Exercise Period”). To exercise its Investor A Preferred Purchase Right, the Company shall deliver during the Investor Preferred Purchase Right Exercise Period, a written notice to the Company, which notice shall state that (i) the Investor is exercising such right to purchase the A Preferred Shares, and (ii) a representation and warranty that the Investor has the A Preferred Purchase Right Exercise Price available for payment to the Company. Upon receipt of such notice from the Investor, the Company shall confirm in writing to the Investor (i) the number of A Preferred Shares the purchaser will be purchasing (as provided above), (ii) the calculations used in determining such amount, and (iii) confirm the closing date thereof (the “Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Closing” and such closing, the “Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Closing Date”). Thereafter, the Investor and the Company shall take any and all action so that it can effect such Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Closing as soon as reasonably practicable. Following such A Share Purchase Right Closing, the A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to vote on “as converted” basis with the Common Stock as a single class, and shall have no other voting rights other than as required by the Delaware General Corporation Laws. The A Preferred Shares shall be entitled in connection with a Deemed Liquidation Event to be paid, at the option of the Investor, a liquidation preference equal to $12,500,000, before any distribution of assets may be made to holders of capital stock ranking junior to the A Preferred Shares including the Common Stock. Once such liquidation preference is paid, the A Preferred Shares (and all rights thereof including the Investor with regard to the A Preferred Shares), shall be automatically terminated and shall have no further force or effect, including, but not limited to, any conversion rights, voting rights and/or any other rights, including upon a Deemed Liquidation Event. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of (a) a Board approved (1) sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), to a non-affiliated Person (or group of nonaffiliated Persons), (ii) consolidation or merger of the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), with or into a non-Affiliated Person, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction possess less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the surviving Person (or its parent) immediately after the transaction; or (iii) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a Person or group of affiliated Persons (other than an underwriter of the Company’s securities), of the Company’s securities if, after such closing, such Person (or group of affiliated Persons) would hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity or parent thereof), and (b) the Company and/or its shareholders receive in such transaction gross cash proceeds of less than $125,000,000 in the aggregate (a “Liquidation Transaction”), the Investor shall, at its option, be entitled to receive its $12,500,000 liquidation preference payment and after such payment the A Preferred Shares shall be deemed automatically terminated and otherwise treated as if a Deemed Liquidation Event occurred and the Investor’s liquidation preference was paid. If the number of Conversion Shares the A Preferred Shares are convertible into immediately prior to the closing date of a Liquidation Transaction is less than ten (10%) percent of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of preferred stock convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Post-Closing Investor Percentage”), the value of a Liquidation Transaction, if any, shall be adjusted so that the value of a Liquidation Transaction times the Post-Closing Investor Percentage Investor’s is equivalent to $12,500,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere and for clarity purposes, the $12,500,000 liquidation preference payment (whether payable upon a Deemed Liquidation Event or a Liquidation Transaction), shall be reduced proportionately based upon prior conversions of the A Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, all A Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock upon the first trading day that the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded. On or prior to the Investor A Preferred Purchase Right Closing, the Company shall file the A Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
