PREAMBLE
This Token Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern your purchase of the INX Tokens, an ERC20 blockchain asset that is programmed using a smart contract that is compatible with the Ethereum blockchain (the “Tokens” or “INX Tokens”) and it defines your rights and obligations with respect to the purchased Tokens. This is an agreement between you (“Purchaser” or “you”) and INX Limited, a Gibraltar private company limited by shares (the “Company”). Purchaser and the Company are herein referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in an initial public offering of Tokens (the “Offering”) and, in connection therewith, has determined to issue and deliver up to 130,000,000 Tokens to public investors in the Offering; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to Purchaser, Tokens in an amount and for the consideration set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
WHEREAS, the Offering, including the sale of the Tokens to Purchaser under this Agreement, shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”). A registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333------------), including a related preliminary prospectus dated [------------], 2019, relating to the Offering has been prepared and filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act. Such registration statement (as amended, if applicable) at the time it becomes effective and the prospectus relating to the Offering included in the Registration Statement (in each case, including the information, if any, deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A(b)), as from time to time amended or supplemented, are hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” respectively.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Tokens.
1.1 Issuance and Sale of Tokens; Purchase Price.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser, intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from the Company the number of Tokens set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, (the “Purchased Tokens”) for the purchase price set forth on Exhibit A (the “Purchase Price) all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Purchase Price shall reflect a purchase price per Token of USD$[____]. Exhibit A shall also reflect the Purchase Price in bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) as well as the applicable BTC/USD and ETH/USD exchange rates.
(b) This Agreement shall be an effective and binding commitment (the “Commitment”) of Purchaser when Purchaser has entered the amount of Tokens Purchaser desires to purchase at the Purchase Price, clicks the check box and the “I AGREE” button on the Purchasing Site to indicate that Purchaser has read, acknowledges and agrees to the terms of this Agreement, executes this Agreement and submits this Agreement to the Company. Xxxxxxxxx agrees to be bound on this basis, and confirms that Purchaser has read in full and acknowledges this Agreement and the terms on which Purchaser is bound.
2
(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this agreement to purchase cannot be withdrawn, terminated, or revoked. This agreement to purchase shall be binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Purchaser. This agreement to purchase is not transferable or assignable by Purchaser, except as expressly provided in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(d) The Company has provided specific procedures on how Purchaser may seek to purchase Tokens through the Purchasing Site. By purchasing Tokens, Purchaser acknowledges, agrees to, and has no objection to such procedures and specifications. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that failure to properly use the Purchasing Site and follow such procedures, including the submission of all required documentation, may result in a rejection of Purchaser’s agreement to purchase and Purchaser not receiving any Tokens. Unauthorized access or use of the Purchasing Site or the receipt or purchase of Tokens in the Offering through any other means are not sanctioned or agreed to in any way by the Company. Purchaser should take great care to verify the accuracy of the universal resource locator for the Purchasing Site used to purchase Tokens.
(e) Upon the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Purchased Tokens to Purchaser on the Closing (as defined below) for the Purchase Price.
(f) The Company intends to allocate and sell Tokens in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus. The Company plans to enter into purchase agreements with other investors, providing for the sale of Tokens to such other investors, and such purchase agreements will be separate but substantially similar to this Agreement. Each of the purchase agreements is a separate agreement.
1.2 Payment of the Purchase Price. Upon execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx authorizes: (a) Metropolitan Commercial Bank, a New York State-chartered bank (the “Escrow Agent”) as escrow agent for the Offering, to request the Purchase Price from Purchaser’s bank (details of which are set out in the “Payment Details” section on Exhibit A attached hereto) to be deposited in the escrow account; (b) if the Company has received committed purchases equal to or exceeding the Minimum Offering Amount (as defined below), (i) the transfer of funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price from Purchaser’s bank account into the Company’s bank account or (ii) the transfer of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) in an amount equal to the Purchase Price from Purchaser’s digital wallet into the Company’s digital wallet. Prior to the Company receiving committed purchases equal to or exceeding the Minimum Offering Amount, the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent to maintain all such funds for Purchaser’s benefit in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until the earliest to occur of: (x) the Closing, (y) the rejection of this Agreement (in accordance with Section 1.4 hereof) or (z) the termination of the Offering by the Company in its sole discretion.

1.3 Termination of Offering or Rejection of Token Purchase Agreement.
(a) In the event that (i) the Company does not effect the Closing on or before the date which is one year from the Offering being qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) the Company receives Purchaser’s purchase request after the maximum number of Tokens in the Offering (130,000,000) has been sold, or (iii) the Offering is terminated by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company will cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to refund promptly the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser, without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon and this Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other agreement to purchase INX Tokens, in whole or in part, and for any reason or no reason, notwithstanding prior receipt by Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this Agreement. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in its sole discretion), the Company shall cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to return promptly the rejected Purchase Price or the rejected portion thereof to Purchaser without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon. If this offer is rejected in whole this Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this offer is rejected in part, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.
1.4 Acceptance of Subscription.
(a) Upon the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Tokens and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), if the Company accepts this Agreement in whole or in part, the Company shall execute and deliver to Purchaser a counterpart executed copy of this Agreement and cause the Escrow Agent to release the Purchase Price (or applicable portion thereof if such subscription is only accepted in part) to the Company. The Closing shall take place at the offices of the Company, on a date to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall occur no earlier than the date that the Company has received commitments from all purchasers in the aggregate of not less than $5,000,000 (the “Minimum Offering Amount”).
(b) At the Closing, subject to the terms hereof, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser’s Ethereum wallet (details of which are set out in the “Digital Wallet” section on Exhibit A herein) the number of Tokens equal to the Purchased Tokens. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the sale of Tokens pursuant to this Agreement is made subject to the condition that the Tokens to be issued and delivered on account of this Agreement will be issued only in the name of and delivered only to Purchaser.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until (a) Purchaser has executed and delivered to the Company this Agreement and a substitute Form W-9 (if applicable); (b) Purchaser has deposited the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement; (c) the Company has executed and delivered to Purchaser an executed copy of this Agreement; and (d) all other conditions to Closing have been satisfied and the Closing has occurred.

(d) In the event that the Closing does not take place for any reason with respect to all or some of the Tokens, the Company shall be deemed to have rejected this subscription, either in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1.3(b) hereof and the Company shall cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to return promptly the rejected Purchase Price or the rejected portion thereof to Purchaser without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon.
1.5 Rights as Holder of Tokens. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon and after the Closing the Tokens shall have only such rights and attributes as are expressly set forth on Exhibit B, subject to the terms thereof, including but not limited to each of the restrictions and conditions described on Exhibit B.

EXHIBIT B
RIGHTS of INX tokens of INX LIMITED
1) | Designation and Number of Tokens. The INX Tokens of INX Limited (the “Company”) shall be designated as “INX Tokens.” The number of authorized INX Tokens is 200,000,000. The INX Token is an ERC20 blockchain asset that is programmed using a smart contract that is compatible with the Ethereum blockchain. The smart contract creating the INX Token was created on January 9, 2018 and re-deployed on . The smart contract for the INX Token is publicly viewable at the Website (as defined in Section 18 of this Exhibit B). The rights of the INX Token holder are contractual rights set forth in the INX Token Purchase Agreement, including this Exhibit B. |
2) | Persons Deemed Holders of Record. To be deemed to be a holder of record of INX Tokens, a holder must (a) register an Ethereum wallet with the Company to be included on the Whitelist Database and (b) have the public wallet address of this Ethereum wallet recorded on the “INX Token distributed ledger” as the holder INX Tokens. INX Tokens held by a nominee on behalf of beneficial owners will be recorded on the INX Token Distributed Ledger as being held in the nominee’s Ethereum wallet and the nominee will be the holder of record. |
The “Whitelist Database” is a database stored on the data section of the INX Token smart contract. The Whitelist Database contains a record of information about individuals and entities that have satisfied the Company’s KYC/AML compliance procedures and thus are eligible to hold INX Tokens. Such information includes the digital wallet address, name and a KYC Reference ID linking to KYC filing information. This information is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain in an encrypted format and it is not readable by the general public. The Company will hold a private key which will enable the Company to add wallet addresses and personal information to the Whitelist Database.
The “INX Token distributed ledger” references the ledger of holdings of INX Tokens that is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. The INX Token distributed ledger records the public wallet addresses of all Ethereum wallets that hold INX Tokens and the balance of INX Tokens in each wallet address. The INX Token distributed ledger is updated after each transfer of INX Tokens. Information from the distributed ledger can be viewed using an Ethereum network block explorer, such as Xxxxxxxxx.xxx.
Any holder of record of INX Tokens may be required from time to time to file proof of residence or other matters, or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper to ensure that the INX Token holder has provided sufficient information to meet KYC/AML requirements and that transfer of the INX Token to or from such holder and all other actions to be taken by the Company hereunder would otherwise be in compliance with applicable law.
3) | Transfer. INX Tokens may be transferred only among Ethereum wallets included in the Whitelist Database. Transfers of INX Tokens will be executed by the INX Token smart contract under conditional permission that the wallet addresses of both the sender and receiver of INX Tokens are listed on the Whitelist Database. The INX Token smart contract will verify that both the sender and the receiver wallet addresses are included in the Whitelist Database prior to approving or rejecting the transfer. If either the sender or receiver wallet address is not listed in the Whitelist Database, the smart contract will reject the transfer and the INX Token Distributed Ledger will not be updated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to investigate suspicious patterns or non-compliance with KYC/AML regulations and immediately freeze one or more digital wallets from transferring or receiving INX Tokens if the Company determines in good faith and in the sole discretion of the Company that such wallets are in violation of the terms of conditions of the INX Token Purchase Agreement, including this Exhibit B, or that transfers to or from such digital wallets are not in good order. |
18
4) | Use on the INX Trading Platforms; Purpose. INX Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purposes, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, outside of the Company’s trading platforms. |
a) | INX Securities Trading Platform. Holders of INX Tokens are entitled to a minimum ten percent (10%) discount on the payment of transaction fees on the INX Securities trading platform, as compared to fees paid using other currencies. In addition, the Company, from time to time in its sole discretion, may offer promotional incentives such as greater discounts for holders of INX Tokens compared to other forms of payment for transaction fees. Other terms for services on the INX Securities trading platform will be subject to change, as determined from time to time by the INX Securities trading platform. |
b) | INX Digital Trading Platform. Record holders of INX Tokens who hold their INX Tokens in their private wallets will be eligible to receive a discount on the payment of transaction fees on the INX Digital cryptocurrency trading platform, by linking their private wallet with their INX Digital trading platform account. The terms of these promotional incentives will be subject to change, as determined from time to time by the INX Digital Trading platform. |
5) | Cash Participation Rights. Subject to the conditions described herein, commencing in calendar year 2021, holders of INX Tokens (other than the Company or its subsidiaries) shall be entitled to receive a Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of an aggregate amount which equals 40% of the Company’s cumulative Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, net of cash flows which have already formed a basis for a prior distribution (such amount, the “Distributable Amount”). |
a) | Calculation of Cumulative Adjusted Operating Cash Flow. Cumulative Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is the aggregate Adjusted Operating Cash Flow of the Company since its inception (September 1, 2017). “Adjusted Operating Cash Flow” shall be calculated as net cash flow from operating activities as reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flow of the Company that is included in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as approved by the Company’s board of directors. For purposes of the calculation of the Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, cash flow from the sale and purchase of blockchain assets, including cash flow from the sale and purchase of the INX Token (excluding cash proceeds from an Initial Sale) and cash flow for interest paid and interest received, will be included in the calculation of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow regardless of their classification in the consolidated statement of cash flow of our Company. An “Initial Sale” refers to the first sale and transfer of the respective INX Token by the Company to an initial purchaser. |
b) | Calculation of Pro Rata Portion. Subject to the conditions described herein, “Pro Rata Portion” for any INX Token holder means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of INX Tokens held by such INX Token holder, and the denominator of which is the number of INX Tokens held by parties other than the Company or its subsidiaries. |
c) | Rights to Distribution. The holders of INX Tokens shall not be entitled to their Pro Rata Portion of the Distributable Amount until March 31, 2021. Holders of record of the INX Tokens on March 31, 2021 shall be entitled to their Pro Rata Portion (calculated as of March 31, 2021) of the Distributable Amount (calculated as of December 31, 2020), with payment (if any) occurring on April 30, 2021. Thereafter, holders of record of INX Tokens as of March 31 of any subsequent year (each year, an “Eligible Year”) shall be entitled to distributions of their Pro Rata Portion (calculated as of March 31 of such Eligible Year) of the Distributable Amount calculated as of December 31 of the year prior to such respective Eligible Year. If on December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021 or December 31 of any Eligible Year the Distributable Amount is negative, then no distribution shall be made. No holder of INX Tokens shall be entitled to their Pro Rata Portion of the Distributable Amount, and no rights to the distribution shall accrue, until March 31, 2021 or March 31 of an Eligible Year. |
19
d) | Payment of the Distribution. Distributions shall be paid on or before April 30 of each Eligible Year (or, if April 30 is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). Any holder of INX Tokens who received such INX Token on or after April 1 of an Eligible Year shall not be entitled to receive the distribution paid during such Eligible Year, as the INX Token holder as of March 31 will be entitled to the distribution for such Eligible Year. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on which banking institutions in the state of New York are authorized by law or executive action to close. |
e) | Distribution Requirements. Distributions will be divisible and rounded down to five decimal places (one-thousandth of a cent) and Token holders will be paid in full from the first dollar of Adjusted Operating Cash Flow that is distributed. No distribution will be made to any INX Token holder if the banking fee relating to such transfer exceeds the distribution amount owed to that Token holder. |
f) | Currency. Distributions will be paid, at the election of the Token holder, in either USD or in ETH. |
g) | Delivery. Distributions may be delivered, at the election of the Token holder, (i) in USD to the bank account provided by the Token holder, or (ii) in ETH to the Ethereum wallet address holding INX Tokens. The Company and the Token holder may also agree on other forms of delivering the distribution. If no account information has been provided to Company, the Company will deliver the distribution in ETH to the Ethereum wallet address holding INX Tokens. If INX Tokens are held of record by a nominee on behalf of beneficial owners, distributions will be made to the holder of record. The Company may withhold or delay the delivery of the distribution if such payment is prohibited by any law, regulation or court order, pending receipt of such proof or other information or such executed certificates or such representations and warranties as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to ensure compliance with applicable law. Until such distribution is duly delivered to a Token holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company or its designee shall hold such distributable funds for the account of such Token holder, and the Company shall remain obligated to deliver such funds to such Token holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Token holder in respect of any portion of the distribution delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. No interest shall accrue on any amount of the distribution that is payable for the benefit of the Token holders. |
h) | Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the distribution otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld from such payment under any provision of any applicable tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Company, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which the Company, made such deduction and withholding. |
i) | Procedures. The Company may from time to time modify the procedures and conditions for payment and distributions set forth in clauses (d) through (h) of this Section 5 of Exhibit B and will provide notification of such modifications to the holders of the INX Tokens. |
6) | Distributions. Except for distributions made following a dissolution of the Company and during the winding up of the Company’s affairs, the Company will not declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution on any equity interests of the Company (other than dividends or distributions payable in its stock, or split-ups or reclassifications of its stock) or apply any of its funds, property or assets to the purchase, redemption or other retirement of any equity interest, or the retirement of any options to purchase or acquire any equity interest of the Company, except for distributions made from the Company’s Distributable Profit. For purposes of this Section 6 of Exhibit B, “Distributable Profit” shall mean income and profits arising from the operations of the company. For the avoidance of doubt, Distributable Profit shall include neither (i) the proceeds of an Initial Sale (as that term is defined in Section 5(b) of this Exhibit B) nor (ii) any profits or losses arising from the fair value adjustment of INX Token and derivative liabilities. |
20
7) | Rights upon a Failure or a Change of Control. Each INX Token held by parties other than the Company shall entitle its holder to receive a pro rata portion (based upon the number of INX Tokens then outstanding) of the Cash Fund, if any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”) occur: |
a) | the Company fails to operate a bona fide trading platform that permits the spot trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum by December 31, 2021, or |
b) | (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting interests of the Company; or (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company with or into any person or entity pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the outstanding voting interests of the resulting entity or its parent company. |
Upon occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company will provide each INX Token holder with notice of the occurrence of a Triggering Event. The Company will pay a pro rata portion of the Cash Fund to each holder of INX Tokens within thirty (30) days from the date such notice is furnished. Unless an INX Token holder indicates otherwise, the Company shall pay the proceeds from the Cash Fund to each INX Token holder in the same manner that the Company pays the participation right in the Adjusted Operating Cash Flow. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Triggering Event and the payment of the Cash Fund in accordance with this Section 7 of this Exhibit B, the INX Tokens shall retain all of the rights, uses, purposes, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, as provided in this Exhibit B.
“Cash Fund” shall bear the meaning ascribed to it in the public offering registration statement declared effective by the US Securities and Exchange Commission covering the sale of INX Tokens pursuant to the INX Token Purchase Agreement of which this Exhibit B is a part. The Company is committed to establishing the Cash Fund with the proceeds of the offering and using those funds in limited circumstances to cover customer and Company losses, if any, that result from cybersecurity breaches or theft, errors in execution of the trading platform or its technology, and counterparty defaults, including instances where counterparties lack sufficient collateral to cover losses. However, the Company does not plan to replenish the Cash Fund after such funds are used.
8) | Rights upon an Insolvency Event. If (i) the Company permanently discontinues all the activities of INX Solutions and there is no successor conducting a substantially similar business that assumes the obligations of the Company with regard to the INX Tokens and (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs, then the Company will be in breach of this Section 8 of this Exhibit B, and this breach shall create a claim in favor of INX Token Holders that may be asserted by INX Token holders against the Company in any proceeding arising from such Insolvency Event. An “Insolvency Event” shall be the dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation or reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and liabilities of the Company, or otherwise. |
21
9) | Subordination by Shareholders of Certain Rights. In connection with its obligations set forth in Section 8 of this Exhibit B, the Company has caused certain of its current shareholders, and shall cause its future shareholders (“Shareholders”), to execute a Waiver and Subordination Undertaking, under which such Shareholders agree to terms substantially similar to the following, in addition to other customary provisions for such agreements: |

c) | In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities, upon the dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation or reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and liabilities of the Company, or otherwise: (i) all amounts owing on account of all Token Claims shall first be paid in full, before any Shareholders Claim Payment (as defined below) is made; and (ii) so long as all Token Claims have not been paid in full, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Shareholders Claim Payment to which a Shareholder would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating agent making such payment for the benefit of each Token Holder for application to the payment of all Token Claims. |
d) | In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions above, any Shareholders Claim Payment is received in contravention of the provisions above by any Shareholder before all Token Claims are paid in full, such Shareholders Claim Payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Token Holder and shall be paid over or delivered to the Company for the benefit of each Token Holder for application to the payment in full of all Token Claims remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions above, after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to each Token Holder in respect of all Token Claims. |
e) | Each Shareholder hereby subordinates any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, directly or indirectly, that it may acquire by way of subrogation under the Waiver and Subordination Undertaking, or as a result of the application of the provisions of the Waiver and Subordination Undertaking or otherwise, unless and until all Token Claims have been paid in full. |
f) | For the purpose of the Waiver and Subordination Undertaking: |
i) | “Shareholders Claim” means all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, or undertakings of any kind or description of the Company owing to a Shareholder in respect of any and all shares issued by the Company to such Shareholder, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined. |
