Section 2.03. Issuance; Uncertificated Digital Form. The Bonds will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A and shall be issued only as registered, uncertificated Digital Bond Tokens on the Public Blockchain and shall not be issued in certificated form except as expressly required by applicable law or approved by the Company, the Trustee, and the Transfer Agent in accordance with this Indenture.

The Company shall cause the Digital Bond Tokens to be minted, issued, or otherwise recorded through the Master Wallet or such other wallet architecture as the Transfer Agent may designate for administration of the Bonds.

 

Section 2.04. Legal Ownership; Controlling Record.

 

(a)MSF as Official Record. Legal ownership of the Bonds shall be maintained solely by book-entry on the Master Securityholder File maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Master Securityholder File shall be the official and controlling record of the Holders, the principal amount of Bonds held by each Holder, and all transfers, redemptions, repayments, cancellations, Token Administrative Actions, and other changes in ownership or principal amount.

 

(b)Blockchain Records Not Controlling. The Public Blockchain, Blockchain Index, Master Wallet, Digital Bond Tokens, smart-contract records, transaction hashes, wallet balances, block explorer records, and other on-chain or derived records are administrative and evidentiary tools only. They shall not supersede, replace, amend, or control over the Master Securityholder File.

 

(c)Discrepancies. In the event of any discrepancy, conflict, inconsistency, delay, error, fork, exploit, rollback, indexing error, smart-contract error, wallet compromise, mistaken transfer, unauthorized transfer, or other difference between the Master Securityholder File and any Public Blockchain, Blockchain Index, Master Wallet, Digital Bond Token, wallet, smart-contract, or on-chain record, the Master Securityholder File shall control for all purposes under this Indenture, including determining legal ownership, payment rights, voting rights, transfer validity, redemption, repayment, cancellation, and Outstanding principal amount.

 

(d)No Bearer Instrument. No Digital Bond Token shall constitute a bearer instrument. Possession or control of a Digital Bond Token, wallet, private key, seed phrase, blockchain address, or transaction hash shall not by itself establish legal or beneficial ownership of any Bond, the right to receive payment on any Bond, or the right to direct the Transfer Agent, Registrar, Paying Agent, Trustee, or Company with respect to any Bond.

 

Section 2.05. Master Wallet; Token Custody and Control.

 

(a)Master Wallet. The Digital Bond Tokens shall be issued to, held through, administered by, or controlled through the Master Wallet maintained or controlled by the Transfer Agent.

(b)Investor Wallets. To the extent the Platform permits Digital Bond Tokens to be reflected in, associated with, or transferred to an investor’s wallets, each such wallet must be a Whitelisted Wallet.

(c)No Transfer Agent Liability for Holder Keys. Except to the extent expressly assumed in a separate written agreement, the Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for any Holder’s loss, disclosure, compromise, misuse, or mismanagement of any private key, seed phrase, wallet credential, device, password, or similar access mechanism for any investor wallet.

 

Section 2.06. Daily Reconciliation.

 

(a)Reconciliation Obligation. The Transfer Agent shall perform a reconciliation on each Business Day between the Blockchain Index and the Master Securityholder File with respect to the Digital Bond Tokens, including outstanding principal amount, registered Holder positions, wallet associations, transfer events, cancellations, redemptions, re-mints, freezes, burns, and other Token Administrative Actions.

 

(b)Discrepancy Resolution. If the Transfer Agent identifies a discrepancy between the Blockchain Index and the Master Securityholder File, the Transfer Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve the discrepancy in accordance with its procedures and this Indenture. Pending resolution, the Master Securityholder File shall control, and the Transfer Agent may freeze, restrict, suspend, or reject any affected transfer or wallet activity.

 

(c)Company Cooperation. The Company shall provide the Transfer Agent with such authorizations, instructions, confirmations, and information as the Transfer Agent reasonably requests to resolve discrepancies, prevent overissuance, correct erroneous token activity, and maintain the Master Securityholder File as the official record.

 

Section 2.07. Digital Token Status; No Expansion of Rights. Digital Bond Tokens are a method of issuing, evidencing, administering, and transferring uncertificated registered Bonds. The issuance of Bonds as Digital Bond Tokens shall not expand, reduce, or otherwise modify the payment terms, ranking, redemption rights, Change of Control buyout rights, revenue participation rights, warrant rights, covenants, Events of Default, remedies, or other substantive rights of Holders except as expressly set forth in this Indenture.

 

Section 2.08. Principal, Maturity, and Priority Return. Each Bond shall mature on its Maturity Date, which is the seventh anniversary of its Issue Date, and shall accrue the Priority Return at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on its outstanding principal amount from its Issue Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each applicable Quarterly Payment Date to the Holders thereof as of the applicable Record Date, subject to Article III and the other provisions of this Indenture.

 

Section 2.09. General Obligation. The Bonds are general obligations of the Company and are not secured by collateral except to the extent expressly provided in a supplemental indenture, escrow agreement, first year reserve, or separate security instrument. The Bonds rank pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Funded Debt of the Company, except as otherwise required by law.

 

Section 2.10. Non-Detachable Warrant Feature; Detachment Events. Each Bond shall be issued together with one or more Non-Detachable Warrants on the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement. Each Non-Detachable Warrant is an integral component of the investment represented by the related Bond and, before the applicable Detachment Date, may not be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, transferred, or otherwise disposed of separately from the related Bond except as expressly provided in this Indenture and the Warrant Agreement. Upon the applicable Detachment Date, the related Non-Detachable Warrant shall automatically detach from the related Bond, shall become a Detached Warrant, and shall thereafter remain outstanding for a term ending on the Warrant Expiration Date, subject to the Warrant Agreement. Detachment shall occur without any further act by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent, the Warrant Agent, or any Holder, although the Company, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent, and the Warrant Agent may require customary administrative documentation to reflect the detachment in their books and records.

Any purported on-chain transfer that is not approved and recorded on the Master Securityholder File shall be void as a transfer of legal ownership of the Bond, and the Transfer Agent may reverse, freeze, burn, re-mint, or otherwise administratively correct the related Digital Bond Token record.

 

(b)Whitelisted Wallets. Digital Bond Tokens may be transferred only to Whitelisted Wallets verified by the Transfer Agent through the Platform. The Transfer Agent shall not be required to approve or record any transfer to a wallet that is not a Whitelisted Wallet.

 

(c)Transfer Restrictions. The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall not approve, register, or record any transfer that would violate this Indenture, the Warrant Agreement, applicable securities laws, transfer restrictions set forth in the offering documents, investor eligibility requirements, sanctions restrictions, regulatory restrictions, or the Transfer Agent’s Platform procedures.

 

(d)On-Chain Peer-to-Peer Transfers. Subject to regulatory approval, Platform availability, whitelisting, transfer restrictions, and approval by the Transfer Agent, secondary market transfers may occur peer-to-peer on-chain between Whitelisted Wallets. Each such transfer shall remain subject to final recordation on the Master Securityholder File, and legal ownership shall transfer only upon such recordation.

 

(e)ATS-Facilitated Secondary Market. Secondary market trading in the Bonds may be facilitated through an ATS upon receipt of any required regulatory approvals, onboarding of the applicable ATS, completion of the Transfer Agent’s operational requirements, and implementation of transfer controls satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent. No provision of this Indenture requires the Company, Transfer Agent, Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, or any other Person to establish, maintain, or guarantee the availability, approval, liquidity, or continued operation of any ATS or secondary market.

 

(f)Pending Transfers. The Transfer Agent may treat any transfer as pending, restricted, rejected, suspended, or ineffective until all Platform, wallet, investor eligibility, payment, tax, securities-law, and administrative requirements have been satisfied. During any pending transfer period, the Holder shown on the Master Securityholder File shall remain the Holder for all purposes.

 

(g)Warrant Travels with Bond Before Detachment. Before the applicable Detachment Date, any transfer of a Bond shall automatically include the related Non-Detachable Warrant, and the Registrar, Transfer Agent, and Warrant Agent shall not register or record any transfer that purports to separate a Bond from its related Non-Detachable Warrant. On and after the applicable Detachment Date, the related Warrant shall be separately transferable only in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and applicable securities laws, and any transfer of the Bond after such Detachment Date shall not include the Detached Warrant unless the transfer documentation expressly provides otherwise and such transfer is permitted under the Warrant Agreement.

 

Section 2.12. Effect of Maturity on Warrants. On the Maturity Date, each Non-Detachable Warrant related to a Bond then maturing shall automatically detach from the related Bond and become a Detached Warrant. From and after such Detachment Date, the Detached Warrant shall have a term ending on the Warrant Expiration Date and shall be governed by the Warrant Agreement. Payment, cancellation, or surrender of the related Bond at maturity shall not cancel, terminate, or otherwise impair the Detached Warrant unless the Warrant has been exercised, cancelled, cashed out, assumed, substituted, or terminated in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

 

Section 2.13. Authentication and Validity. A Bond shall be validly issued when the issuance has been authorized by the Company, recorded on the Master Securityholder File, and reflected as a Digital Bond Token through the Master Wallet or applicable Platform process. No physical certificate or manual authentication shall be required unless expressly required by applicable law or agreed by the Company, Trustee, and Transfer Agent.

Article III. — Revenue Participation Pool

 

Section 3.01. Revenue Participation Pool. The Company shall establish and maintain the Revenue Participation Pool for the benefit of Holders in accordance with this Article.

 

Section 3.02. Funding of Revenue Participation Pool. The Company shall fund the Revenue Participation Pool with the following amounts for each Revenue Measurement Period, determined in accordance with GAAP and this Indenture:

 

(a)$1.50 for each Digital Identity created on the Nomyx ID Platform;

 

(b)10% of Gross Licensing Revenue from Nomyx Engine;

 

(c)10% of Gross Transaction Revenue from Nomyx Gateway; and

 

(d)10% of Gross Other Designated Revenue.

 

Section 3.03. Pool Distribution Statement. Not later than 5 days before each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, Paying Agent, and Transfer Agent a Pool Distribution Statement setting forth:

 

(a)the number of Digital Identities created on the Nomyx ID Platform during the Revenue Measurement Period;

 

(b)Gross Licensing Revenue from Nomyx Engine;

 

(c)Gross Transaction Revenue from Nomyx Gateway;

 

(d)Gross Other Designated Revenue;

 

(e)required Revenue Participation Pool contributions;

 

(f)Available Pool Funds;

 

(g)Accrued Shortfall;

 

(h)current Priority Return due;

 

(i)Excess Revenue Distributions payable, the applicable Annual Distribution Cap, and the remaining availability thereunder;

 

(j)any amount to be released to the Company; and

 

(k)certification that the calculations were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and this Indenture.

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

Section 3.04. Application of Available Pool Funds. On each Quarterly Payment Date, amounts available in the Revenue Participation Pool shall be applied in the following order of priority:

 

(a)first, to pay Accrued Shortfall, including all accrued and unpaid Shortfall Return, on all Outstanding Bonds, pro rata based on Accrued Shortfall then owed;

 

(b)second, to pay the current Priority Return on all Outstanding Bonds, pro rata based on current Priority Return then owed;

 

(c)third, to pay Excess Revenue Distributions on all Outstanding Bonds, pro rata based on outstanding principal amount, until each Bond has received Excess Revenue Distributions up to the remaining Annual Distribution Cap for such Bond for the applicable calendar year (that is, the Annual Distribution Cap less the current Priority Return and Excess Revenue Distributions already paid on such Bond during that calendar year, and without reduction for any Accrued Shortfall paid); and

 

(d)fourth, after payment in full of the amounts described in Section 3.04(a) through (c), to the Company or as otherwise directed by the Company.

 

Section 3.05. Accrual and Annual Compounding of Shortfall. If Available Pool Funds are insufficient to pay the full Priority Return due on any Bond on a Quarterly Payment Date and the Company does not otherwise make payment from its general funds, the unpaid amount shall become Accrued Shortfall for that Bond. Accrued Shortfall shall accrue Shortfall Return at eight percent (8%) per annum from the date each unpaid amount becomes Accrued Shortfall until paid, calculated on the same 360-day year of twelve 30-day months used for Priority Return and compounded annually on each anniversary of that Bond’s Issue Date. Any accrued but uncapitalized Shortfall Return shall also become due upon the maturity, redemption, Change of Control buyout, acceleration, or other payment in full of that Bond. Accrued Shortfall and Shortfall Return are general obligations of the Company and shall be payable from future Available Pool Funds or the Company’s general funds in accordance with the waterfall in this Article. Unless otherwise required by law, payments of Accrued Shortfall shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid Shortfall Return and then to the oldest unpaid Priority Return.

 

Section 3.06. Annual Distribution Cap. The aggregate of the current Priority Return and the Excess Revenue Distributions paid on any Bond during any calendar year shall not exceed the Annual Distribution Cap for such Bond. No Bond shall receive Excess Revenue Distributions to the extent the payment would cause the sum of the current Priority Return and Excess Revenue Distributions paid on such Bond for the calendar year to exceed the Annual Distribution Cap. The Annual Distribution Cap does not limit, reduce, or defer Priority Return, Accrued Shortfall, or Shortfall Return, and neither Accrued Shortfall nor Shortfall Return is counted against the Annual Distribution Cap. Transfers of Bonds shall not reset, reinstate, or increase the remaining Annual Distribution Cap.

 

Section 3.07. True-Up and Corrections. If the Company determines that any determination of the Revenue Participation Pool, Pool Distribution Statement, or distribution was incorrect, the Company shall correct the error in the next Pool Distribution Statement or, if required to prevent material prejudice to Holders, by supplemental deposit or corrective payment.

 

Section 3.08. Books and Records. The Company shall maintain books and records sufficient to support calculations under this Article and shall provide reasonable supporting information to the Trustee, Paying Agent, or Transfer Agent upon request.

 

Section 3.09. No Paying Agent Calculation Duty. The Paying Agent may rely conclusively on Pool Distribution Statements and payment instructions delivered by the Company and shall have no duty to calculate the Revenue Participation Pool, Accrued Shortfall, Priority Return, Excess Revenue Distributions, or the Annual Distribution Cap except to the extent expressly accepted in a separate written agreement.

(j)that Bonds called for redemption will cease to be Outstanding on the Redemption Date after payment of the Redemption Price; and

 

(k)that the related Non-Detachable Warrants will detach from the redeemed Bonds or redeemed portions thereof on the Redemption Date if the redemption becomes effective, will become Detached Warrants as of such date, and will have a term ending on the Warrant Expiration Date, subject to the Warrant Agreement.

(c)Upon payment of the Redemption Price, the redeemed Bonds or redeemed portions thereof shall cease to be Outstanding.

 

(d)If the Company fails to deposit sufficient funds for redemption, the redemption shall not be effective unless the Company cures such failure before the Redemption Date or the affected Holders waive such failure.

 

(e)Upon the effective redemption of any Bond or portion thereof, the Transfer Agent may freeze, burn, cancel, re-mint, or otherwise adjust the related Digital Bond Token to reflect the redeemed principal amount. The Master Securityholder File shall control the redeemed principal amount and the remaining Outstanding principal amount regardless of the timing or status of any on-chain record.

 

Section 4.05. No Redemption During Default. The Company may not redeem Bonds while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Required Holders consent or the redemption will cure all outstanding Events of Default.

 

Section 4.06. Effect on Revenue Participation Pool. Redemption of Bonds shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay any Accrued Shortfall, earned and unpaid Excess Revenue Distributions, or other amounts accrued through the Redemption Date.

 

Section 4.07. Detachment of Warrants Upon Redemption. Upon the effective redemption of any Bond or portion thereof, the related Non-Detachable Warrant, or the corresponding portion of the related Non-Detachable Warrant attributable to the redeemed portion of the Bond, shall automatically detach from the redeemed Bond or redeemed portion thereof on the Redemption Date and become a Detached Warrant. From and after such Detachment Date, the Detached Warrant shall have a term ending on the Warrant Expiration Date and shall be separately transferable, exercisable, and outstanding in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and applicable securities laws. Redemption, cancellation, or surrender of the related Bond or redeemed portion thereof shall not cancel, terminate, or otherwise impair the Detached Warrant unless the Warrant has been exercised, cancelled, cashed out, assumed, substituted, or terminated in accordance with the Warrant Agreement. If a Bond is redeemed in part, the Company, Registrar, Transfer Agent, and Warrant Agent shall make such notations, allocations, or adjustments as are reasonably necessary to reflect the portion of the related Warrant that has detached and the portion, if any, that remains attached to the unredeemed portion of the Bond.

Article VI. — First-Year Reserve

 

Section 6.01. Reserve Requirement. The Company shall establish and maintain a segregated commercial deposit account in the Company’s name designated on the Company’s books and bank records as the “First-Year Reserve.” As subscription funds settle and Bonds are issued, the Company shall deduct from Gross Offering Proceeds and deposit into the First-Year Reserve an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the Gross Offering Proceeds attributable to each issuance of Bonds, contemporaneously with or promptly after that issuance.

 

Section 6.02. Company Ownership and Management Control. The First-Year Reserve shall be a Company-owned commercial account controlled by the Company through its authorized officers and management. The Company may select and replace the depository institution and designate or change authorized signatories, subject to the Trustee’s right to object under Section 6.05. No separate reserve, escrow, or account control agreement shall be required, and the Trustee shall not be a signatory on or have control over the account unless the Company and Trustee later agree otherwise in writing.

 

Section 6.03. Segregation and Cohort Records. The First-Year Reserve shall be maintained at a U.S. commercial bank separately from the Company’s operating accounts. The Company shall maintain a subledger for each issuance cohort showing the related Bond Issue Date, Gross Offering Proceeds, required deposit, payments allocated to that cohort, and remaining balance and release date. The Company shall provide a copy of the applicable bank statement and subledger to the Trustee with each quarterly Officer’s Certificate and at such other reasonable times as the Trustee may request.

 

Section 6.04. Permitted Use. During the period beginning on the Issue Date of a Bond and ending on the first anniversary of that Issue Date, the portion of the First-Year Reserve allocated to the related issuance cohort may be used solely for the following purposes, in each case as described in the Offering Circular and certified in an Officer’s Certificate:

 

(a)payment of Priority Return due on Bonds in the applicable issuance cohort during that first-year period;

 

(b)payment of Accrued Shortfall and Shortfall Return attributable to Bonds in the applicable issuance cohort;

 

(c)payment of reasonable bank, Paying Agent, or Transfer Agent charges directly incurred in making the payments described above, but only to the extent disclosed in the Offering Circular;

 

(d)replenishment of an issuance cohort’s required allocation following a correction, returned payment, or improper withdrawal; and

 

(e)no other purpose unless authorized by a supplemental indenture in accordance with Article XI and disclosed to Holders.

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

Section 6.05. Allocation; No Duplication. Payments from the First-Year Reserve shall be allocated among issuance cohorts using a reasonable and consistently applied method based on the outstanding principal amount and payment obligations of each cohort. Amounts in the First-Year Reserve shall not be treated as Revenue Participation Pool contributions unless expressly designated by the Company as such in an Officer’s Certificate, and each payment shall reduce the corresponding Priority Return, Accrued Shortfall, Shortfall Return, or permitted charge otherwise payable under this Indenture.

 

Section 6.06. Disbursements; Trustee Objection. The Company may direct disbursements from the First-Year Reserve for permitted uses without the Trustee’s prior consent, but each disbursement shall be documented by an Officer’s Certificate stating the amount, date, purpose, affected issuance cohort, and recipient. The Trustee may object in writing if it reasonably determines that a proposed or completed disbursement is not permitted by this Article. If the Company receives the objection before disbursement, the Company shall not make the disputed disbursement until the objection is resolved. If the Company receives the objection after disbursement, the Company shall, within five Business Days, restore the disputed amount to the First-Year Reserve pending resolution, unless the Trustee withdraws its objection.

 

Section 6.07. Release by Issuance Cohort. On or after the first anniversary of the Issue Date of Bonds in an issuance cohort, the remaining balance allocated to that cohort may be released from the First-Year Reserve to the Company’s general funds if (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no unresolved Trustee objection under Section 6.06 applies to that balance, and (iii) the Company has delivered an Officer’s Certificate certifying compliance with this Article and identifying the amount released.

 

Section 6.08. No Escrow, Trust, or Security Interest. The First-Year Reserve and all amounts credited to it remain property of, and under the control of, the Company. The account is not an escrow, is not held in trust or for the exclusive benefit of Holders, and is not subject to a lien or account-control arrangement in favor of the Trustee or Holders. Amounts in the account may be subject to claims of the Company’s creditors, the depository bank’s rights of setoff, and risks arising in a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or depository bank. Establishment of the First-Year Reserve does not make the Bonds secured obligations.

 

Section 6.09. No Trustee Monitoring Duty. Except for reviewing materials delivered under this Article and exercising its objection right in good faith, the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the First-Year Reserve, obtain bank information independently, prevent withdrawals, verify Company calculations, or control the account, unless the Trustee expressly accepts such additional duties in a separate written agreement. The Company remains solely responsible for establishing, funding, maintaining, documenting, and applying the First-Year Reserve in accordance with this Article.

Section 7.08. Limitations on Indebtedness. The Company shall not incur additional Funded Debt other than Permitted Indebtedness if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, the Company would fail to satisfy the DSCR covenant as of the most recent test date for which financial statements are available, provided that this limitation shall not apply before the First Test Date unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Any such migration shall be reflected in the Master Securityholder File, and the Master Securityholder File shall control during and after the migration.

 

Section 7.16. No Obligation to Maintain Secondary Market. Neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent shall be obligated to list, quote, trade, support, maintain, or continue any secondary market for the Bonds, whether through an ATS, the Platform, the Public Blockchain, or otherwise.

The Transfer Agent shall maintain the Master Securityholder File and such Blockchain Index, wallet, Platform, transfer, reconciliation, payment, and Token Administrative Action records as it determines are reasonably necessary to administer the Bonds.

 

 

 

 24 

 

 

Section 10.09.    Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Paying Agent for payment on the Bonds shall be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, subject to applicable abandoned-property laws.

Section 10.10.    Platform Payments. The Transfer Agent, as Paying Agent, shall make payments on the Bonds through the Platform into the designated Investor Accounts of the Holders shown on the Master Securityholder File, unless the Paying Agent approves another payment method.

No on-chain payment record shall control over the Paying Agent’s payment records or the Master Securityholder File.

Section 10.12.    Administrative Override Rights.

 

(a)Authority. If the Company or the Transfer Agent determines in good faith that a Digital Bond Token, wallet, private key, seed phrase, smart contract, transfer, or on-chain record has been lost, stolen, compromised, corrupted, duplicated, frozen, inaccessible, mistakenly transferred, transferred without authorization, affected by a security breach, or otherwise requires correction, the Company and the Transfer Agent may authorize or take one or more Token Administrative Actions.

 

(b)Available Actions. Token Administrative Actions may include freezing, locking, unlocking, burning, cancelling, re-minting, reissuing, migrating, transferring, restricting, or otherwise adjusting Digital Bond Tokens or wallet associations, including re-minting Digital Bond Tokens to a new Whitelisted Wallet.

 

(c)MSF as Base Record. Each Token Administrative Action shall be based on the Master Securityholder File and shall be intended to conform the Digital Bond Token record to the Master Securityholder File. The Master Securityholder File shall control the identity of the Holder and the principal amount of Bonds held by such Holder before, during, and after any Token Administrative Action.

 

(d)Holder Requests. A Holder requesting a Token Administrative Action due to lost private keys, wallet compromise, lost access, theft, unauthorized transfer, or similar circumstances shall provide documentation, certifications, indemnities, identity verification, wallet information, and other materials reasonably required by the Company or the Transfer Agent. The Company and the Transfer Agent may reject or delay any request that is incomplete, disputed, suspicious, subject to an adverse claim, subject to legal process, or otherwise not reasonably satisfactory.

 

(e)No Overissuance. No Token Administrative Action shall increase the aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding as reflected in the Master Securityholder File. If any on-chain action appears to create an excess token amount, duplicate token, or other overissuance condition, the Transfer Agent may freeze, burn, cancel, restrict, or otherwise correct the affected Digital Bond Tokens.

 

(f)Protection of Agents. The Trustee, Transfer Agent, Registrar, Paying Agent, and Warrant Agent shall be protected in relying on the Master Securityholder File, Officer’s Certificates, Transfer Agent records, Platform records, identity-verification records, legal process, and other documents believed by them to be genuine. No such Person shall be liable for taking or refraining from taking any Token Administrative Action in good faith, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Transfer Agent may remove, suspend, or restrict any Whitelisted Wallet if it determines in good faith that continued approval is not appropriate under this Indenture, applicable law, Platform procedures, or transfer restrictions.

 

Section 10.14.    Public Blockchain Risks; No Trustee Duties. The Company, Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Paying Agent may administer the Bonds using the Public Blockchain and the Platform, but the Trustee shall have no responsibility for the selection, operation, security, availability, validation, indexing, governance, upgrade, fork, migration, custody, or technical performance of the Public Blockchain, the Master Wallet, the Platform, any smart contract, any Whitelisted Wallet, or any Digital Bond Token. The Trustee shall not be required to hold private keys, operate a node, monitor on-chain transactions, verify wallet ownership, or participate in any Token Administrative Action.

 

Section 10.15.    Replacement of Public Blockchain or Wallet Architecture. The Company and the Transfer Agent may replace, supplement, migrate, or modify the Public Blockchain, Master Wallet, smart contract, token standard, wallet architecture, Platform process, or Blockchain Index used to administer the Bonds if they determine in good faith that doing so is reasonably necessary or advisable for security, regulatory, operational, technological, or administrative reasons. The Master Securityholder File shall control during any such replacement, supplement, migration, or modification.

Exhibit C — Transfer, Registrar, Paying Agent, Digital Bond Token, and Revenue Participation Pool Administrative Provisions

 

1.1Appointment. T7X Equity, Inc., is appointed as Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Paying Agent for the Bonds and, if separately accepted, Warrant Agent for the Warrants.

 

1.2Master Securityholder File and Bond Register. The Transfer Agent shall maintain the Master Securityholder File and Bond Register, including Holder names, addresses, Investor Accounts, Whitelisted Wallets, principal amounts, issue dates, payment history, transfer history, cancellation history, redemption history, Change of Control repayment history, Revenue Participation Pool payment history, Token Administrative Actions, Digital Bond Token identifiers, and related Warrant numbers. The Master Securityholder File shall be the official and controlling record of legal ownership of the Bonds.

 

1.3Control Book and Transfer Records. The Transfer Agent shall maintain records required for its role as transfer agent, including issue authorization, issued and outstanding principal amount, debits and credits, transfer records, cancellation records, restriction records, and record-difference records to the extent applicable to the Bonds, in all cases consist with applicable rules for registered transfer agents.

 

1.4Digital Bond Token Issuance and Master Wallet. The Bonds shall be issued as uncertificated Digital Bond Tokens on the Public Blockchain. The Digital Bond Tokens shall be issued to, held through, administered by, or controlled through the Master Wallet maintained or controlled by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may administer the Digital Bond Tokens through one or more wallets, sub-wallets, smart contracts, omnibus addresses, custody arrangements, or other wallet-control mechanisms.

 

1.5MSF Controls. In the event of any discrepancy, conflict, inconsistency, delay, error, fork, exploit, rollback, indexing error, smart-contract error, wallet compromise, mistaken transfer, unauthorized transfer, or other difference between the Master Securityholder File and any Public Blockchain, Blockchain Index, Master Wallet, Digital Bond Token, wallet, smart-contract, or on-chain record, the Master Securityholder File shall control for all purposes.

 

1.6Daily Reconciliation. The Transfer Agent shall perform a reconciliation on each Business Day between the Blockchain Index and the Master Securityholder File with respect to outstanding principal amount, Holder positions, wallet associations, transfers, cancellations, redemptions, re-mints, freezes, burns, and other Token Administrative Actions. The Transfer Agent may suspend, reject, restrict, freeze, or delay any affected transfer or token activity pending resolution of a discrepancy. If a discrepancy constitutes or results in a record difference requiring regulatory reporting by the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent shall handle such reporting in accordance with its applicable regulatory obligations.

 

1.7Payment Processing Through Platform. The Paying Agent shall receive funds from the Company and distribute payments to Holders on each payment date in accordance with the Master Securityholder File, the Bond Register, the Platform, and written payment instructions. Payments shall be made through the Platform into the designated Investor Accounts unless the Paying Agent approves another method. Payment activity may be recorded on-chain, but the Master Securityholder File and the Paying Agent’s payment records shall control over any on-chain payment record.

 

1.8Revenue Participation Pool Payment Allocations. For each Quarterly Payment Date, the Company shall provide the Paying Agent with a Pool Distribution Statement and payment allocation instructions setting forth the amounts payable as Accrued Shortfall, current Priority Return, Excess Revenue Distributions, and any amounts to be released to the Company. The Paying Agent may rely conclusively on such instructions.

 

1.9Tracking Returns and Distributions. The Company shall maintain, or cause the Registrar or Paying Agent to maintain, records of the current Priority Return, Accrued Shortfall, Shortfall Return, and Excess Revenue Distributions paid with respect to each Bond during each calendar year and the remaining Annual Distribution Cap for each Bond (the current Priority Return and Excess Revenue Distributions, but not Accrued Shortfall or Shortfall Return, being counted against the Annual Distribution Cap). Transfers of Bonds shall not reset, reinstate, or increase the remaining Annual Distribution Cap.

 

 

 

 36 

 

 

1.10Whitelisted Wallets. Digital Bond Tokens may be held, received, or transferred only through Whitelisted Wallets verified by the Transfer Agent through the Platform. The Transfer Agent may require identity verification, sanctions screening, investor eligibility review, transfer-restriction review, tax documentation, wallet verification, and other procedures before approving any Whitelisted Wallet.

 

1.11Transfer Controls. Before the applicable Detachment Date, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall not process any transfer that separates a Bond from its related Warrant or fails to satisfy applicable transfer restrictions. On and after the applicable Detachment Date, the Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Warrant Agent may process transfers of Detached Warrants separately from the related Bonds, subject to the Warrant Agreement, applicable securities laws, and any transfer restrictions applicable to the Detached Warrants or Warrant Shares. No transfer of any Bond shall be effective unless approved and recorded on the Master Securityholder File.

 

1.12ATS and Secondary Market Transfers. Secondary market trading in the Bonds may be facilitated through an ATS upon receipt of any required regulatory approvals, onboarding, operational readiness, and implementation of controls acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent. Peer-to-peer on-chain transfers may be permitted only between Whitelisted Wallets and only if approved and recorded by the Transfer Agent on the Master Securityholder File. The Company and Transfer Agent are not required to establish or maintain any ATS or other secondary market. An alternative trading system subject to Regulation ATS must comply with requirements that may include broker-dealer registration and required Commission filings before commencing operation.

 

1.13Administrative Override for Lost, Stolen, or Compromised Tokens. If a Holder loses access to a wallet or private key, or if any Digital Bond Token, wallet, private key, smart contract, transfer, or on-chain record is alleged or determined to be lost, stolen, compromised, corrupted, duplicated, mistakenly transferred, transferred without authorization, subject to a security breach, or otherwise in need of correction, the Company and the Transfer Agent may authorize or take Token Administrative Actions, including freezing, locking, unlocking, burning, cancelling, re-minting, reissuing, migrating, transferring, restricting, or otherwise adjusting Digital Bond Tokens or wallet associations. Any re-minted Digital Bond Token may be issued to a new Whitelisted Wallet verified by the Transfer Agent. The Master Securityholder File shall serve as the base record for all such actions.

 

1.14Holder Documentation for Recovery Requests. The Transfer Agent may require any Holder requesting a Token Administrative Action to provide identity verification, account authentication, affidavits, certifications, indemnities, evidence of wallet compromise or loss of access, new Whitelisted Wallet information, and other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may reject or delay any request that is incomplete, disputed, suspicious, subject to an adverse claim, subject to legal process, or otherwise not reasonably satisfactory.

 

1.15Safeguarding of Securities and Funds. To the extent the Transfer Agent has custody or possession of securities or funds related to its transfer-agent activities, the Transfer Agent shall handle such securities and funds in accordance with its applicable regulatory obligations. Registered transfer-agent rules require securities in custody or possession to be held in safekeeping and handled in a manner reasonably free from risk of theft, loss, or destruction, and require funds to be protected against misuse in light of the relevant facts and circumstances.

 

1.16Reports. Upon request, the Transfer Agent, Registrar, or Paying Agent shall provide the Company and Trustee with reports reasonably necessary to administer payments, redemptions, Change of Control repayments, transfers, exchanges, cancellations, Warrant records, Digital Bond Token records, Token Administrative Actions, reconciliation records, Whitelisted Wallets, Platform records, and Revenue Participation Pool records.

 

1.17No Calculation Duty. The Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Paying Agent shall have no duty to calculate the Revenue Participation Pool, Accrued Shortfall, Priority Return, Excess Revenue Distributions, or the Annual Distribution Cap, except to the extent expressly accepted in a separate written agreement.

 

1.18No Trustee Blockchain Duty. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor, validate, audit, index, reconcile, or investigate the Public Blockchain, Blockchain Index, Master Wallet, Platform, Digital Bond Tokens, Whitelisted Wallets, smart contracts, private keys, or on-chain transactions.
