WITNESSES THAT the parties hereto agree and covenant with each other as follows:
1. | Corporate Authority and Appointment |
a) | The Issuer, having taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement, has appointed KoreTransfer as Transfer Agent and Registrar (‘shares’ are herein defined as common shares, preferred shares, options, warrants, digital securities/security tokens, trust units and like securities evidenced by a book entry on the issuer’s security register) and KoreTransfer accepts such appointment, upon the terms set out in this Agreement. |
b) | KoreTransfer agrees to faithfully carry out and perform its duties hereunder, and upon the termination hereof, to deliver over to the Issuer the books and any documents and papers connected therewith or with the business of the Issuer transacted hereunder, against a receipt executed by the Issuer. |
2. | Duty to Keep and Provide Records |
KoreTransfer shall keep on its secure online platform the Issuer’s share ledger, register and branch registers of transfers, digital securities/security tokens and electronic certificates (eCerts as defined below), and subject to such general and particular instructions as may from time to time be given to it by or under the authority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any applicable law, KoreTransfer shall, in accordance with this Agreement:
a) | make such entries from time to time in the books as may be necessary in order that the accounts of each shareholder or token holder of the Issuer may be properly and accurately kept and transfers of shares properly recorded; |

3. | Dividend Disbursement |
a) | KoreTransfer shall disburse dividends and other distributions which may be declared from time to time on the shares of the Issuer, and KoreTransfer is hereby authorized and directed to pay such dividends and other distributions after receipt at its principal office of: |
i. | a certified copy of the resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer declaring such dividends or other distributions or similar documentation that is acceptable to KoreTransfer, and |
ii. | funds in an amount sufficient for the payment of such dividends and any cost associated with delivery of funds. |
b) | If any funds are received by KoreTransfer in the form other than wire transfer, KoreTransfer shall be entitled to delay the time for release of such funds until such funds shall be determined to have cleared the financial institution upon which the same are drawn. If KoreTransfer shall hold any amount on account of distributions which are unclaimed or which cannot be paid for any reason, KoreTransfer shall be under no obligation to invest or reinvest the same but shall only be obligated to hold same in a current or other non-interest bearing account pending payment to the person or persons entitled thereto, and shall be entitled to retain for its own account any benefit earned by the holding of same prior to its disposition in accordance with this Agreement. |
4. | Authority to Act and Reliance |
a) | KoreTransfer will act on instructions from the Issuer and only those individuals who are authorized by a resolution of the board of directors. The Issuer shall also update KoreTransfer with any changes to their directors, officers and authorized personnel as they occur, and at a minimum annually, and supplying all items on Schedule “B”. |
b) | Issuer acknowledges that KoreTransfer may be required to follow various identification and verification procedures in accordance with state and federal legislation as may be enacted from time to time. Issuer therefore agrees to provide, upon the reasonable request of KoreTransfer, copies of any corporate records, including but not limited to appropriate identification for each of the said directors and officers, as may be required by law. |
2 |
c) | KoreTransfer may act upon any signature, certificate or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons, or refuse to transfer a share certificate/eCert/digital securities/security tokens if it is not satisfied as to the propriety of the requested transfer. KoreTransfer will notify the Issuer in the event a transfer is refused. KoreTransfer may also act on the receipt of facsimile and similar electronic instructions that it believes to be genuine and to have been signed or initiated by the proper person or persons. |
d) | KoreTransfer may from time to time refer any documents, requests or questions which may arise in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder to legal counsel for the Issuer, at the expense of the Issuer, or to its own counsel for an opinion thereon and shall be entitled to rely absolutely on such opinion and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer against and from any liability, cost and expense for any action taken by KoreTransfer or not taken by KoreTransfer in accordance with such instructions or advice. |
e) | The Issuer represents and warrants that all shares issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement are issued as fully paid and non- assessable and agrees that with respect to future allotments and issuances of shares, KoreTransfer shall issue and regard such shares as fully-paid and nonassessable. KoreTransfer shall be entitled to treat as valid any certificate for shares purporting to have been issued by or on behalf of the Issuer prior to the date of this Agreement. |
5. | Issue, Transfer, and Cancellation of Certificates |
(a) | KoreTransfer manages the Issuer’s certificates in electronic form; such certificates will be called ecertificates (“eCerts”) or digital securities/security tokens for the purposes of this document or any correspondence. |
(b) | The Issuer agrees that it will promptly furnish to KoreTransfer from time to time: |
(i) | copies of all constating documents, amendments thereto and of all relevant by-laws and resolutions relating to the creation, amendment, allotment and issuance of shares of the Issuer; and |
3 |
(ii) | copies of all relevant documents and proceedings relating to increases and reductions in the Issuer’s capitalization, the reorganization of or change in its structure or the bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer. |
(c) | Upon receipt of a certified copy of a resolution of the directors of the Issuer authorizing the issuance of shares, together with written instructions from an authorized officer or director of the Issuer giving particulars of the registered owners of such shares, KoreTransfer shall register such shareholders and deliver eCerts representing such shares in accordance with such instructions and KoreTransfer can rely that such instructions are in compliance with exchange or regulatory requirements as promulgated from time to time. | |
(d) | The Issuer agrees that, so long as this Agreement is in force, it shall issue no share certificates or digital securities/security tokens or any securities without such eCerts or digital securities/security tokens being created and delivered by KoreTransfer in its capacity as transfer agent and registrar. |
(e) | When a certificate is presented to KoreTransfer for the purpose of transfer, transfer of any of the shares in respect of which such certificate was issued will be refused by KoreTransfer. Transfers will only be performed between registered eCert holders of the company to a qualified individual or entity upon approval by the company, review of the company’s bylaws, and acceptance of the qualified individual or entity who is registered in the KoreConX all-in-one platform. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, KoreTransfer shall not incur any liability in refusing to effect any transfer which in its judgment is improper or unauthorized, or in carrying out any transfer which in its judgment is proper or authorized. |
(f) | Except as specifically provided below, it shall not be the duty of KoreTransfer to pass on the validity of transfers of shares owing to death, transfers by parents or guardians, powers of attorney, and it is hereby authorized, at KoreTransfer’s discretion, to refer all documents relating to such transfers to the legal counsel of the Issuer, at the expense of the Issuer, and KoreTransfer shall be entitled to rely absolutely upon the opinion of such legal counsel. |
(g) | Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer or from any shareholder/token holder that an eCert or digital securities/security tokens is missing from the company’s register, KoreTransfer agrees to place an appropriate notation on the register of shareholders/token holders. KoreTransfer shall not be required to issue an eCert based on a claim from any potential owner of a security for any eCert that has not been recorded in the company’s register unless: |
(i) | neither the Issuer nor KoreTransfer has received notice that the security represented by the eCert has been acquired by a good faith purchaser (as that term is used in the applicable corporate statute); |
4 |
(ii) | the owner has filed with KoreTransfer an indemnity bond sufficient in KoreTransfer’s opinion to protect the Issuer and KoreTransfer from any loss that either of the Issuer or KoreTransfer may suffer by complying with the request to issue a new certificate; and |
(iii) | the owner has satisfied all other requirements as KoreTransfer may from time to time impose, acting reasonably, including without limitation the delivery by the owner to the Issuer and KoreTransfer of a written indemnity together with a statutory declaration that the eCert was not properly recorded in the company’s register of securities. |
For this purpose and for the purposes of the applicable corporate statute, the Issuer hereby irrevocably delegates to KoreTransfer the power to determine the sufficiency of the indemnity bond so posted and to impose all such other reasonable requirements as KoreTransfer may from time to time require in this regard.
(h) | In the case of a registered shareholder who dies where no administration is contemplated, KoreTransfer may register the transfer of shares registered in the name of the deceased shareholder upon receipt of an indemnity agreement, a waiver of probate or similar bond and any other documents satisfactory to KoreTransfer. |

(b) | The Issuer agrees that its liability hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional regardless of the correctness of any representations of any third parties and regardless of any liability of third parties to the Indemnified Parties, and shall accrue and become enforceable without prior demand or any other precedent action or proceeding, and shall survive the resignation or removal of KoreTransfer or the termination of this Agreement. | |
(c) | KoreTransfer shall be under no obligation to prosecute or defend any action or suit in respect of its agency relationship under this Agreement, but will do so at the request of the Issuer provided that the Issuer furnishes an indemnity satisfactory to KoreTransfer against any liability, cost or expense which might be incurred. |

In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, KoreTransfer shall, with respect to meetings of shareholders, not be liable for having relied upon or deferred to the instructions or decisions of the Issuer, its legal counsel, or the chairman of the meeting. |
(b) | In the event KoreTransfer is in breach of this Agreement or its duties hereunder or any agreement or duties relating to any other services that KoreTransfer may provide to the Issuer in connection with or in any way relating to this Agreement or KoreTransfer’s duties hereunder, KoreTransfer shall be liable for claims or damages only to an aggregate maximum amount equal to the amount of fees paid by the Issuer to KoreTransfer hereunder in the twelve months preceding the last of the events giving rise to such claims or damages, except to the extent that KoreTransfer has acted in bad faith, with gross negligence, or has engaged in willful misconduct.
