5 / 27
3. | Prices and Terms of Payment |
3.1 | The Total Purchase Price shall be paid in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Appendix B of this Agreement. |
3.2 | Default of the full payment |
(1) In the event that the Purchaser fails to fully settle the respective percentage of the Total Purchase Price before the prescribed deadline(s) set forth in Appendix B, Bitmain, at its sole discretion, shall be entitled to request the Purchaser to pay, within sixty (60) days after such applicable deadline, liquidated damages equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Purchaser’s payment obligations with respect to the batch of Products for which payment was not made within the prescribed deadline (with the understanding such amount is reasonable and shall not constitute a penalty as set forth in Clause 27 of this Agreement), provided, however, Purchaser shall not be required to pay such liquidated damages if it obtains Bitmain’s prior written consent for an extension of its obligation to pay within five (5) business days of the prescribed deadline:
(i) Failure of payment of the liquidated damage: in the event that the Purchaser fails to pay the aforementioned amounts after the expiration of the final payment deadline, Bitmain shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement. If there are any remaining balance of the Purchaser after deducting for liquidated damages, such remaining balance shall be refunded to the Purchaser free of any interest.
(ii) Request of resumption of performance by Purchaser: if the Purchaser requests to continue to make payment of the purchase price after its initial delay, and if Bitmain has not otherwise terminated this Agreement, Bitmain shall be entitled to reject the payment of the purchase price temporarily and request the Purchaser pay the aforementioned liquidated damage. Afterwards, the Parties shall negotiate the settlement separately.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser fails to pay any payment on a timely basis and Bitmain has arranged production or procurement, Bitmain shall be entitled to request the Purchaser to be responsible for the loss related to such production or procurement and the liability of the Purchaser shall be no less than twenty percent (20%) of the Total Purchase Price.
3.3 | The Total Purchase Price set forth in this Agreement is merely an estimate of the price and not the actual price. The actual price will be determined one month before the current batch is shipped and with reference to the market circumstances, provided that the actual price shall not be higher than the estimated price. |
3.4 | Upon receipt of notification of the actual price provided by Bitmain, the Purchaser shall be entitled to three options: |
(i) | continue to perform the Order of the current batch of the Product(s) with the original rated hashrate and pay the remaining amount at the actual price; or |
6 / 27
(ii) | request Bitmain to increase the rated hashrate by an amount that would equate to the dollar difference by which the estimated price exceeds the actual price (if any) with Bitmain having the right to negotiate with the Purchaser for the amount of the additional rated hashrate based on its then inventory; or |
(iii) | partially or wholly cancel the Order of the current batch of Product(s), provided, however, prior to Bitmain’s notification of the actual price, the Purchaser shall make timely payments based on the estimated price as specified in Clause 3.1. |
The Purchaser shall not claim any refund from Bitmain if the estimated price exceeds the actual price. Any balance resulting from the Purchaser’s payment of the estimated purchase price shall be credited to the balance of Purchaser or its Affiliates. In the event the Purchaser cancels any Order for any batches of Products, the payments for those batches cannot be used as down payments for any other batch listed in this Agreement. However, the remaining balance shall be refunded to the Purchaser free of any interest no later than two years after the Order is cancelled.
Furthermore, the Purchaser shall exercise its option under this Clause 3.4 by written confirmation to Bitmain within two (2) days after Bitmain notifies the Purchaser of the actual price. If the Purchaser fails to provide confirmation of its exercise of its option and no agreement is reached between the Parties within such two (2) day period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have voluntarily and irrevocably waived its option under this Clause 3.4 and the Parties shall continue to perform the Order of the current batch of Product(s) with the original rated hashrate and the Purchaser shall pay the remaining amount at the actual price. If the Purchaser exercises its options pursuant to this Clause 3.4, no additional changes to the payment options shall be made for the current batch of Product(s).
3.5 | Before the Purchaser makes any payment on any batch of Product(s), the Parties shall confirm and agree on the batch of the Product(s) against which payment is being made. This confirmation shall be used to determine matters where different arrangements are applicable to different batches, including, but not limited to, defaults of the Purchaser and the product discount offered to the Purchaser. |
3.6 | Before the delivery date, Bitmain shall be entitled to request the Purchaser to sign a Sales and Purchase Agreement by sending a written notice to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall cooperate to sign such Sales and Purchase Agreement and pay the price of the remaining batch(s) of Products to Bitmain as specified in this Agreement. If the Purchaser refuses to sign a Sales and Purchase Agreement as required by Bitmain, Bitmain shall be entitled to request the Purchaser to perform its rights and obligations referred in this Agreement. |
3.7 | The Parties understand and agree that the applicable prices of the Product(s) are inclusive of applicable bank transaction fee, but are exclusive of any and all applicable import duties, taxes and governmental charges. The Purchaser shall pay or reimburse Bitmain for all taxes levied on or assessed against the amounts payable hereunder (including, without limitation, any sales, use, value added, VAT, GST, PST or other taxes of a similar nature |
7 / 27
imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority). If any payment is subject to withholding, the Purchaser shall pay such additional amounts as necessary, to ensure that Bitmain receives the full amount it would have received had payment not been subject to such withholding.

Once the Product(s) have been delivered to the carrier, Bitmain shall have fulfilled its obligation to supply the Product(s) to the Purchaser, and the title and risk of loss or damage to the Product(s) shall pass to the Purchaser. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the Product(s) to the carrier shall occur outside of the United States, and as such, the transfer of title and risk of loss or damage with respect to the Product(s) when delivered to the carrier shall pass to the Purchaser outside of the United States. |
5.3 | In the event of any discrepancy between this Agreement and Bitmain’s cargo insurance policy regarding the insurance coverage, the then effective Bitmain cargo insurance policy shall prevail, and Bitmain shall be required to provide the then effective insurance coverage to the Purchaser. |
5.4 | If Bitmain fails to deliver the Products after thirty (30) days after the prescribed deadline, the Purchaser shall be entitled to cancel the Order of such batch of Products and request Bitmain to refund the price of such undelivered batch of Products together with interest of 0.0333% per day for the period beginning from the date immediately after which payment for such batch of Products was made to the date immediately prior to the Purchaser’s request for refund. |
5.5 | If Bitmain postpones the shipping schedule of the Products and the Purchaser does not cancel the Order and requests Bitmain to perform its delivery obligation, Bitmain shall compensate the Purchaser a daily amount equal to 0.0333% of the price for such undelivered batch of Products, which compensation shall be made in the form of delivery of more rated hashrate. Amount less than one unit of Product shall be credited to the balance in the Purchaser’s user system on Bitmain’s official website, which shall be viewable by the Purchaser. |
5.6 | There are six (6) batches of Products under this Agreement and each batch shall constitute independent legal obligations of and shall be performed separately by the Parties. The |
