1. | Fogdog will provide CurrencyWorks with free of charge access to the electricity power generated from any Units build and operated by Fogdog in Canada or the United States of America for a period of five (5) years from the date that CurrencyWorks provides an advance to Fogdog pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement entered into by CurrencyWorks and Fogdog dated August 20, 2021 (the “Loan”), provided that CurrencyWorks is using such power to develop and operate cryptocurrency mining operations. | |
2. | Fogdog represents and warrants that the Initial Unit will generate electricity power based on the composition of the waste processed, and enable to operate up to 250 cryptocurrency mining machines. |
3. | Fogdog maintains the right to build and operate other units that do not provide electricity power for other cryptocurrency mining operations. | |
4. | Fogdog hereby grants to CurrencyWorks a first right of refusal, for a period of five (5) years from the date of the Loan, to use at no charge any electricity power generated from any of the Units (other than the Initial Unit) provided that CurrencyWorks uses such power for cryptocurrency mining operations. | |
5. | Fogdog agrees on a best effort basis to ensure 50% of the Units manufactured by Fogdog are available for CurrencyWorks to generate electricity power for CurrencyWorks to operate cryptocurrency mining operations. Both Parties agree to mutually adjust this percentage (%) over the five (5) years as deemed necessary in good faith. | |
6. | In consideration of the covenants made by Fogdog in this Agreement, CurrencyWorks hereby grants to Fogdog share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire up to 250,000 common shares of CurrencyWorks with the exercise price equal to the market price of the common shares of CurrencyWorks on the day prior to the grant of the Warrants. The Warrants will vest and become exerciseable upon repayment in full of the Loan and will expire if not vested within five (5) years from the date of issue. | |
7. | Except as and to the extent required by law or as agreed to by the Parties, neither Party will disclose or use, and will direct its respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, representatives (including any financial or other advisers) and agents, or any affiliate thereof (each, a “Representative”), not to disclose or use, any Confidential Information (as defined below) with respect to the other Party that is furnished, or to be furnished, by either Party or its respective Representatives to the other Party or its respective Representatives at any time or in any manner other than as may be agreed to by the disclosing Party.
