This Master Services Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of September 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is by and between 3Pillar Global, Inc. (“3Pillar”), a Virginia corporation, and Great Coin Inc. (“Client”), a Nevada corporation. 3Pillar and Client are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

1. SERVICES.

3Pillar will provide services to Client (the “Services”) as set forth in one or more Statements of Work (each an “SOW”), each of which will reference this Agreement and be incorporated by reference in this Agreement. No SOW will be deemed binding upon the Parties until signed by authorized representatives of both Parties. Any provision of this Agreement may be expressly superseded by a SOW; provided, however, those such superseding terms will only apply to such SOW and not to previous or subsequent SOWs.

2. PAYMENT.

2.1 Pricing.

The Client will be invoiced each month in arrears based on the monthly fee for each resource assigned to the Client team (“Monthly Team Rate”) under each SOW. The Monthly Team Rate takes into account time for holidays and vacation, in addition to, training, professional development and other administrative tasks required to improve the team’s skill sets. A team member may be added and removed from the team to provide additional capacity or introduce different skills/experience to the team upon mutual agreement of both Parties and upon availability of requested resources, the Monthly Team Rate shall be adjusted accordingly. At the beginning of each calendar year, the resource rates set forth in the SOW will automatically increase five percent (5%) as a result of the average raise of overseas team members that historically range from 10%-20% per annum. It being understood that the terms of each SOW shall be contractually binding and such increases shall not apply retroactively to outstanding SOWs for fees that accrued prior to the effective date of the rate increase, but rather prospectively only.

2.2 Payment Terms.

3Pillar will invoice Client for Services on a monthly basis in arrears, with payment due from Client net thirty (30) days from the applicable invoice date. Client will be responsible for all applicable taxes arising in connection with this Agreement. Provided, however, Client shall not be responsible for any payroll taxes for 3Pillar personnel or taxes payable by 3Pillar on 3Pillar’s income.

2.3 Retainer.

In order to commence performance of the Services under each SOW, Client must pay a retainer the greater of (a) fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the expected average monthly xxxxxxxx under the SOW. These retainers will be held by 3Pillar throughout the term of the individual SOW and will be applied to any unpaid invoices issued by 3Pillar that remain unpaid by the Client at the completion of the term of any individual SOW or upon termination pursuant to Section 8 of the Agreement, as applicable.

Any remaining retainer that exists after the application of unpaid invoices shall be returned to Client within ninety (90) days of the Termination of the SOW.

2.4 Payment Disputes.

An invoice will be deemed accepted by Client unless client notifies 3Pillar of a dispute with such invoice in writing within seven (7) calendar days after the applicable invoice date. All non-disputed charges are due in accordance with Section 2.2. All reasonable disputed charges will not be deemed due until the dispute is resolved and will be due the later of ten (10) calendar days after the resolution of the dispute or thirty (30) days from invoice date. Both Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the disputed charges within seven (7) calendar days after the due date of the applicable invoice, and, if the Parties are unable to reach resolution on their own, the Parties will proceed to resolve such dispute under the terms of Section 9.1 of this Agreement. Interest will not accrue on any charges disputed in good faith by the Client until ten (10) calendar days after the resolution of such dispute.

2.5 Non-payment; Interest.

In the event that Client does not pay an invoice or any non-disputed amounts within an invoice when due as described in Section 2.4, 3Pillar, at its sole discretion, may cease all work being performed for Client and not resume work until 3Pillar has received payment for such outstanding invoice. Upon a stop work notice, 3Pillar, at this sole discretion, may reassign resources providing Services under any and all SOW’s to other client accounts. 3Pillar does not provide any guarantee that upon payment in full that work shall be reinstated nor that prior resources shall be available to provide Services. 3Pillar will charge interest on the amount due under such unpaid invoice at the rate of one percent (1%) per month.

2.6 Expenses.

In addition to any provisions provided for in any applicable SOW(s), Client agrees to pay: (a) all approved travel and living expenses incurred in connection with the provision of Services when any such travel exceeds twenty-five (25) miles one way; and (b) all approved third party cost and expenses, including, without limitation costs to procure Third Party Technology (defined below) and third party services, such as hosting services, necessary to provide the Services. Travel expenses incurred in connection with driving will be calculated by multiplying the number of miles driven by the current federal government rate for travel reimbursement approved by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. All such costs must be approved by Client in advance.
