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.

(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.

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, Purchaser authorizes: (a) (i) 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 (ii) the sale of USD Coin (USDC) transferred to the Company’s digital wallet and the deposit of funds from such sale 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 USD Coin (USDC), 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 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.

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 19 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. |
4) | Revocation and Transfer. |
a) | Transfer Instruction or Final Determination. Upon receipt by the Company of a Transfer Instruction Letter or a copy of a Final Determination, the Company (or its transfer agent, as applicable), in accordance with such Transfer Instruction Letter or Final Determination, shall revoke INX Tokens held in a third party digital wallet and transfer such INX Tokens to another digital wallet listed on the Whitelist Database. The revocation and transfer of the INX Tokens shall be recorded on the INX Token Distributed Ledger as (i) a transfer of the INX Tokens to a digital wallet of the Company (or its transfer agent, as applicable) followed by (ii) a transfer of the INX Tokens to the digital wallet(s) indicated by the Transfer Instruction Letter or Final Determination, as applicable. The Company or its transfer agent may require such documents and reasonable assurances as may be necessary to determine that such Transfer Instruction Letter or Final Determination requesting revocation is genuine and authorized, including a guaranty of the requesting party or appropriate evidence of such requesting party’s appointment or incumbency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not revoke INX Tokens and hold them in a digital wallet controlled by the Company or its subsidiaries, except where the Transfer Instruction Letter or Final Determination has instructed the Company to hold such INX Token on behalf of its beneficial owner. “Transfer Instruction Letter” means an instruction executed by an authorized signer of the owner of the INX Token (as registered in the INX Token Distributed Ledger) directing that the Company (or its transfer agent, as applicable) revoke INX Tokens from a digital wallet and transfer such INX Tokens to another digital wallet. “Final Determination” means a final non-appealable order of any court of competent jurisdiction which may be issued, together with (A) a certificate of the prevailing party to the effect that such order is final and non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction having proper authority and (B) the Transfer Instruction Letter of the prevailing party to effectuate such revocation and transfer. |
b) | Liability for Wrongful Revocation. The Company will be liable for wrongful revocation and transfer (as described in Section 4(a)) if the Company (or its transfer agent, as applicable) revokes and transfers an INX Token to a person not entitled to it, and the revocation and transfer was performed (i) pursuant to an ineffective Transfer Instruction Letter, (ii) after receiving a credible demand from the registered owner of such INX Tokens that the Company not transfer such INX Tokens and the Company failing to seek resolution of such credible demand (iii) after the Company or its transfer agent, if any, had been served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from revoking and reassigning such INX Tokens, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Company had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order, or other legal process; or (iv) if the Company acts in bad faith or in collusion with others to effect a fraudulent transfer. |
B-1 |
5) | 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. |
6) | 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. |
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. |
B-2 |
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 6 of Exhibit B and will provide notification of such modifications to the holders of the INX Tokens. |
7) | 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 7 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 6(a) of this Exhibit B) nor (ii) any profits or losses arising from the fair value adjustment of INX Token and derivative liabilities. |
8) | 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 8 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.
9) | 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 9 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. |
10) | Subordination by Shareholders of Certain Rights. In connection with its obligations set forth in Section 9 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: |
a) | Each Shareholder irrevocably subordinates all payments by the Company on account of any Shareholders Claim (as defined below) to the prior satisfaction and payment in full by the Company of all Token Claims (as defined below). |
b) | Each Shareholder irrevocably waives and subordinates, to the prior satisfaction in full by the Company of any Token Claim, any claim, and undertakes that it shall not exercise any right or remedy, directly or indirectly, that it may acquire under, or as a result of the following, with respect to the cash amount reserved in the Cash Fund maintained by the Company: (i) any agreement it has with the Company; (ii) the organizational documents of the Company (including without limitation, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company); or (iii) any applicable law or regulation. |
B-3 |
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: |
