CONVERTIBLE CREDIT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

THIS CONVERTIBLE CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated and effective as of December 14 , 2023 (the “Effective Date”), is made by Hapi Metaverse Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”) and Value Exchange International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower” and together with the Lender, each a “Party” and together the “Parties”).

Background:

The Lender desires to provide, at the option of the Lender, a credit line to the Borrower, and the Borrower desires to receive from the Lender a credit line (the “Loan”) that provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of ONE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$1,000,000.00) (the “Credit Line Amount” being the maximum possible principal of the Loan) and to do so pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Any advance of money under the Credit Line by the Lender to the Borrower will be referred to as an “Advance”. “Person” means a natural person, corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, business trust, other trust, organization, association, governmental authority or entity or other entity – in which instance who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party. “Business Days” means a weekday that the banks in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (Hong Kong) are open for business on regular operating hours. “Affiliates” has the meaning in 17 Code of Federal Regulations §230.405.

Intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree:

1. Loan; Closing. (a) Terms of Loan. Upon and after the Effective Date, the Lender shall extend to the Borrower a credit line for a maximum amount equal to an amount not exceeding the Credit Line Amount. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Borrower may request an advance on the Credit Line in accordance with the instructions set forth Exhibit A hereto (each being an “Advance Request”) from the Lender. The Lender will advise the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Advance Request if the Lender will make an Advance to the Borrower and the amount of the Advance. The Lender may refuse any Advance Request made by the Borrower without cause and without explanation or offer to fund an amount less than requested by the Borrower. Neither this Agreement nor any provision herein will obligate the Lender to approve any Advance Request. If the Lender approves any Advance Request, the advance of money under that Advance Request will be made within ten (10) days after approval of the Advance Request by the Lender, as the case may be, by wire transfer to the Borrower’s bank account listed in Exhibit A hereto. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (based upon a 365- day year. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall, at the discretion of the Lender, either (i) be repaid in cash and/or (ii) convert into shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”) as provided in Section 2 below on and shall be due and payable on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the date that the Advance is received by the Borrower in good funds on deposit (the “Advance Maturity Date”). An Advance Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender who made the Advance for a one-time extension not to exceed the thirty (30) consecutive days immediately following the Advance Maturity Date. Each Advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any Borrower assets (including, without limitation, ownership interests in the Borrower’s subsidiaries or assets of any of Borrower’s subsidiaries) but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Borrower.

(b) Payment of Principal and Interest. The Borrower shall pay the unpaid principal amount of an Advance that has not been previously converted into the “Securities” (as defined below) on or before that the Advance Maturity Date along with any unpaid interest accrued on that Advance. Prior to the Advance Maturity Date, unpaid interest accrued on any Advance shall be paid on the last Business Day of June and on the last Business Day of December of each year in which the Advance is outstanding and not converted into Securities.

(c) Warrants. In the event that the Lender elects to convert any portion of an Advance into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2 below and in lieu of cash payment in satisfaction of that Advance, then and only then shall the Borrower issue to the Lender five (5) detachable warrants for each share of Common Stock issued in a Conversion (“Warrants”) in addition to the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion as defined under Section 2 below. Each Warrant will entitle the Lender to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”) at a per-share exercise price equal to the “Conversion Price” (as defined below). Each Warrant will be registered in the name of the Lender who requested the Conversion, or in a nominee name as designated by the Lender. The exercise period for each Warrant will be five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Warrant. Any nominee of the Lender must meet any compliance requirements for an investor under the exemption from registration of the Securities under applicable securities laws and regulations.

(d) Origination Fee. An origination fee of ten percent (10%) of the Advance (the “Origination Fee”) shall be accrued and is payable in cash by the Borrower to the Lender and/or converted into shares of Common Stock of the Borrower as provided in Section 2 below, upon one (1) month from the date of issuance of the Notice of Conversion.

(e) Prepayment. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time during the term of this Agreement, prepay a portion or all amounts of the outstanding Advance to the Lender, without incurring penalties, additional interest, or other fees or charges.

(f) Additional Definitions. “Closing” means the date on which all conditions in Section 4 are completed and “Closing Date” means the date of the Closing. “Securities” means shares of Common Stock and Warrants issued or issuable under this Agreement to the Lender or its nominees or assignees and shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of the Warrants.

2. Conversion of Loan. (a) Optional Conversion. (i) Each Advance shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock, at the option of either Party (being referred to as a “Conversion”), at any time and from time to time, at a price per share equal the “Conversion Price” (as defined below), subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Lender shall effect conversions by delivering to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of the Advance and accrued interest, if any, to be converted, and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed received by the Borrower at its principal executive offices by a senior officer of the Borrower. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the Advance in an amount equal to the amount of the Advance that is converted in a Conversion. The Lender and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the amount of the Advance converted and the date of each Conversion.

(ii) Conversion Price. The price for conversion of an Advance into shares of Common Stock is US$0.045 per share, which is based on twenty-five percent (25%) discount of the Borrower’s market closing price as of 12 December 2023 (the “Conversion Price”).

(iii) Conversion Procedure. The Conversion procedure set forth in Section 2(a)(i) above will be followed by the Lender in any Conversion under Sections 2(b), (c) and (d).

(b) Conversion at Maturity Date. (i) To the extent that any Advances are not earlier repaid in cash or converted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, on the Advance Maturity Date, the amount of the Advances not previously converted into Securities under this Agreement, or any portion thereof, owed to the Lender may be converted by the Lender into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price.

(c) Conversion upon a Change in Control Transaction. In the event that prior to the time of repayment of any Advance that has not previously been converted into Securities, the Borrower shall consummate a “Change in Control Transaction” (as defined below), then the total amount of Advances outstanding and not previously converted into Securities shall convert into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price upon receipt of written notice from the Lender to the Borrower, subject to adjustment as provided herein. “Change in Control Transaction” will be deemed to exist if (i) there occurs any consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any Person and the Borrower is not the surviving entity, or any other corporate reorganization or transaction or series of related transactions in which in any of such events the voting stockholders of the Borrower prior to such event cease to own 50% or more of the voting power, or corresponding voting equity interests, of the surviving entity after the transaction or transactions, or (ii) in one or a series of related transactions, there is a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the operating assets of the Borrower or substantially all of the Borrower’s equity interests in the operating and wholly-owned subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis, to a third party.

(d) Conversion upon Breach of this Agreement. In the event that the Borrower breaches any provision of this Agreement and does not remedy that breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand from the Lender (“Demand”), which Demand shall describe the breach, (a “Conversion Breach Event”), then the Lender may convert all or any portion of the unpaid amount of Advance or Advances into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. Upon occurrence of a Conversion Breach Event that is not timely remedied and receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall convert the requested Conversion amount of all outstanding amount of Advances not previously converted into Securities into shares of Common Stock within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice of Conversion and in accordance with this Section 2.

(e) Cancellation. In the event all Advances are paid in full by cash or are converted into shares of Common Stock, the Lender shall surrender all executed originals of this Agreement to the Borrower along with all promissory notes executed to evidence any Advance and all of such originals of this Agreement and each of the promissory notes shall be thereupon cancelled and marked “paid in full” on its face.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Conversion of any Advances or any portion thereof. In the Lender’s sole discretion, the Borrower shall either pay to the Lender in cash the unconverted amount that would otherwise be converted into such factional share or interest in a share, or round the shares being issued upon Conversion up to the nearest whole number.

(g) Sufficient Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon Conversion of all possible Advances under this Agreement, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Lender or any Affiliates of the Lender, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the all outstanding Advances not previously converted into Securities hereunder. The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance.

(h) Stamp Tax. The issuance of shares of Common Stock on Conversion of any Advances or any portion thereof shall be made without charge to the Lender, as the case may be, for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such shares upon conversion.

(i) Restricted Securities. The Lender understands that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Advances, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrant will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred and must be held indefinitely in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws with respect thereto or (ii) an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act as evidenced by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Borrower that such registration is not required. The certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Advances or any Advance or upon exercise of any Warrants shall bear the following or similar legend (in addition to such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under any applicable law by Borrower or any other agreement to which the Borrower is a party):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY OR ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THOSE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, OFFERED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION, AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM, OR A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

(j) Other Legends. The Lender consents to the Borrower making a notation on the Borrower’s records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Common Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described herein on the shares of Common Stock and Warrants and shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of Warrants.

9. Piggyback Registration Rights. (a)(i) Defined Terms. “Holder” means the owner of record of any securities of the Borrower issued or issuable under this Agreement. “Registrable Securities” means any of the Borrower’s Securities issued or issuable under this Agreement.

(ii) Piggyback Registration. The Borrower will notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the 1933 Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Borrower (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Borrower, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder will, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Borrower, so notify the Borrower in writing, and in such notice will inform the Borrower of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Borrower, such Holder will nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Borrower with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Borrower gives notice under this Section 9 is for an underwritten offering, then the Borrower will so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 9 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares or other Securities that may be included in the registration and the underwriting will be allocated, first, to the Borrower, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Borrower and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. This withdrawal right shall be the sole recourse of the Holder in any instance of an underwriter or underwriters, as the case may be, for any exclusion of Registrable Securities from registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting will be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons will be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” will be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 9 (excluding underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions), including, without limitation, all federal and “blue sky” registration and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Borrower and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the selling Holders will be borne by the Borrower.

(d) Obligations of the Borrower. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Borrower will, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days;

(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(iii) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration;

(iv) Use its good faith and diligent efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as will be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided the Borrower will not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless already conducting business therein; and

(v) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering (it being understood and agreed, as a condition to the Borrower’s obligations under this clause (v), each Holder participating in such underwriting will also enter into and perform its obligations under such an underwriting or underwriter’s agreement).

(e) Notice. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(f) Deliverables. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such Securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if the Securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Borrower for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Borrower, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

(g) Furnish Information. It will be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Borrower to take any action pursuant to Section 9 that the selling Holders will furnish to the Borrower such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as will be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities and comply with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and regulations.

(h) Delay of Registration. No Holder will have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 9. This Subsection 9(h) may be presented in any legal or administrative proceeding as, and shall constitute, a bar to any legal or administrative action by a Holder in violation of this Subsection 9(h).

10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon mutual agreement of both Parties.

11. Waiver. The Borrower, for itself and each of its legal representatives, hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, right of setoff, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protest of any dishonor, notice of protest and protest of this Agreement, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the obligations under this Agreement.

12. Further Assurances. The Parties shall each perform such further acts and execute such further documents as may reasonably be necessary to carry out and give full effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

13. Miscellaneous. (a) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior written and oral understandings of the Parties with regard thereto. This Agreement may be modified, amended, or any term hereof waived only in writing by the Borrower and the Lender. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 13(a) shall be binding upon both Parties and their respective successors and assignees.

(b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof. Any dispute arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and states courts of the State of Delaware, including appellate courts thereto, (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”) and each of the Parties hereby submits irrevocably to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts and agrees that these courts are a convenient forum. Each Party waives any claim of forum non conveniens in respect of the Delaware Courts.

(c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

(d) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Lender and the Borrower will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in this Agreement and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(e) Notices. (i) All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder to be given to a Party to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be telecopied/emailed or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger. Any notice sent in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective (i) if mailed, seven (7) Business Days after mailing to the address set forth below for the recipient Party, (ii) if sent by messenger, upon delivery, at the notice address set forth below for the recipient Party, and (iii) if sent via telecopier/email, upon transmission and electronic confirmation of receipt or (if transmitted and received on a non-Business Day) on the first Business Day following transmission and electronic confirmation of receipt using the telecopier or email address set forth below for the recipient Party.

All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the Parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

(g) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that in such event this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to give effect, to the greatest extent consistent with and permitted by applicable law, to the meaning and intention of the excluded provision as determined by such court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to each other Party, it being understood that the Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.PDF” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.PDF” signature page was an original thereof.

(i) Construction. The Parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto.

(j) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or the Lender enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and the Borrower’s payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Borrower, a trustee, receiver or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(k) Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Borrower securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Borrower shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement securities and shall pay the costs incurred by the Borrower to replace the certificate or instrument of the securities.

(l) Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing for one (1) year.

(m) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(n) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

(o) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other entity or person.
