CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in KR2 Crypto SPE, LLC, the SPE involves an extreme high degree of risk and a real possibility the entire investment becomes worthless. There can be no assurance that the Member’s investment objectives will be achieved, or that an investor will receive a return of its capital, or return of the actual capital itself. In addition, there will be occasions when Managing Member and its affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with the SPE. The following considerations, among others, should be considered before investing.

RISK INHERENT IN BLOCK CHAIN AND CRYPTO CURRENCY INVESTMENTS. The types of investments that the SPE anticipates making involve an extreme high degree of risk. Loss of an investor’s entire investment is possible. The timing of profit realization is highly uncertain. Emerging Block Chain technology and Crypto currencies are extremely speculative and volatile and have a high risk of fraud and/or exposure to hacking. Many crypto currency offers have been exposed as complete fraud, including pump and dump schemes where investors are left with worthless investments. Moreover, other crypto currency investments has been the subject of hacking by criminals where investments were lost without recourse by the investors. Block Chain technologies are in their infancy stage and unproven and not widely adopted and may never be. Accordingly, Investor is aware that investing in crypto currency and block chain technlogoy, such as the underlying investment in Origin Protocol, Inc. and its associated “Token” is extremely risky and could result in the entire loss of Investor’s investment without any fault of the SPE and Managing Member, Evolve VC, LLC.

RELIANCE ON THE MANAGING MEMBER. The Managing Member will have sole discretion over the investment of the SPEs committed to the SPE as well as the ultimate realization of any profits. As such, the pool of SPEs in the SPE represents a blind pool of SPEs. Investors in the SPE will be relying on the Managing Member to conduct the business as contemplated by this Disclosure. The loss of one or more principals of the Managing Member could have a significant adverse impact on the business of the SPE. No assurances can be given that each of such principals will continue to be affiliated with the SPE throughout its term. Notwithstanding any prior experience that such principals may have in making investments of the type expected to be made by the SPE, any such experience necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the principals of the Managing Member will be able to duplicate prior levels of success.

CHANGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. The success of the Managing Member’s investment strategy could be significantly impacted by changing external economic conditions in the United States and global economies. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism or acts of war. Changing economic conditions could potentially adversely impact the valuation of the underlying investment in Origin Protocol, and/or the crypto currency issued by Origin Protocol.

NO MARKET; ILLIQUIDITY OF SPE INTERESTS. Except for the underlying crypto currency distributed to Investor, which may have its own lock-up period, an investment in the SPE will be illiquid and involves a high degree of risk. There is no public market for limited SPE interests in the SPE, and it is not expected that a public market will develop. Consequently, Members will bear the economic risks of their investment for the term of the SPE. Prospective investors will be required to represent and agree that they are purchasing the limited SPE interests for their own account for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

LEGAL, TAX AND REGULATORY RISKS. Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the SPE that may adversely affect the SPE or the value of the underlying investment in Origin Protocol such as rending the crypto currency illegal, valueless and/or worthless.

Section 12.3. Claims by Managers. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 12 is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Company, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

Section 12.4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Company or, while an employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding.

DISCLOSURE AND WAIVER OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Section 13.1.

Section 14.2. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Parties and that the other Parties will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 14.3. Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, excluding any conflict of laws rules. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Agreement shall override the provisions of the Act to the extent of any inconsistency or contradiction between them. Any dispute between any of the Parties hereto or any claim by a Party against another Party arising out of or relating to this Agreement any alleged breach hereof, shall be determined in accordance with the following dispute resolution procedures:

(a) First, senior representatives of the Parties that are involved in the dispute shall meet and confer in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute as among themselves. If after ten (10) Business Days, such Parties are not able to resolve the dispute as among themselves, any such Party to the dispute may elect by written notice to the other such Parties to submit such dispute to be resolved through binding arbitration.

(b) Second, if applicable, arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in force with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Boulder, Colorado and shall be subject to the substantive law of the State of Delaware.

All of the arbitrators selected shall be disinterested persons and individuals skilled in the legal and business aspects of the subject matter of this Agreement and of the dispute, and each shall have at least ten (10) years of experience in negotiating agreements regarding the issuance of securities. In the event that any Party involved in the arbitration shall fail to designate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following a written request by another such Party to do so, the arbitrators that have been selected shall choose the arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. If the selected arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator to conduct the arbitration within thirty (30) days following a written request from any Party to do so, the arbitrator to conduct the arbitration shall be selected by the AAA at the request of any of the Parties in the dispute. The decision rendered by the arbitrators shall be accompanied by a written opinion in support thereof and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties in the dispute without right of appeal.

(c) Judgment upon any such decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the decision of an order of enforcement, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys fees, to be paid by the Parties against whom enforcement is ordered. The fees and expenses of such arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party, as determined by such arbitration.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Party may seek injunctive relief, including a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, from a court of competent jurisdiction. The sole venue and jurisdiction for any such matter or action shall be the Federal or state courts residing in Boulder, Colorado.

Section 14.4. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such

right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Section 14.5. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given: (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission); or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):
