(b) IMPORTANT NOTE: Purchaser acknowledges that until the expiration of the
‘‘distribution compliance period’’ (as defined above), Purchaser shall not make any offer or sale of the
Tokens to a U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person within the meaning of Rule 902(k)
under the 1933 Securities Act (the “Act”). Purchaser understands that no action has been taken in any
jurisdiction (including the United States) by the Seller that would permit a public offering of the Tokens in

distribution thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is

period, Purchaser shall not make any offer or sale of the Tokens to a U.S. person or for the account or

action has been taken in any jurisdiction (including the United States) by the Seller that would permit a
public offering of the Tokens in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Consequently,
any transfer of the Tokens will be subject to the selling restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Purchaser has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and general principles of equity.

(d) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this purchase. The Purchaser
has made its own investigation and evaluation of this Agreement and the Tokens, including the risks
involved in entering into this Agreement and purchasing the Tokens prior to the Network Launch. In

the Risk Factors herein, and has consulted with his, her or its own legal, financial and tax advisors as to
the merits and risks of entering into this Agreement.

provision and receipt of Services in the Network, subject to limitations and conditions in this Agreement
and any current and/or future applicable Network policies, terms, and conditions. In particular, you
understand and accept that Tokens do not represent, constitute or confer: any ownership right or stake,
share, equity, security, bond, debt instrument, or any other financial instrument or investment or
investment carrying equivalent rights.

(i) The Purchaser understands that the Seller makes no warranties of title or implied
warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular use with respect to the Tokens or their
functionality, features, purpose, or attributes in connection with the Network. As a result, you may never
receive delivery of the WTR, and you may lose the entire amount of the payment you make to the Seller.

(j) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of entering into this Agreement
and of purchasing Tokens, including without limitation and acknowledgement and assumption of the risk
that if issued, the Tokens and the Network may not be broadly adopted, and the Tokens may decrease in
value over time and/or lose all their monetary value.

(k) The Purchaser understands that any purchase of the Tokens involves a high
degree of risk. The Purchaser is able to bear the risk of any purchase of the Tokens including, without
limitation, the risk of total loss of its purchase monies. The Purchaser has sought its own accounting, legal
and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the issuance
and sale of the Tokens in accordance with this Agreement. The Purchaser is NOT relying on any advice
or representation of the Seller in connection with entering into this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereunder or thereunder (other than the representations made by the Seller in this
Agreement) and has not received from the Seller any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether
legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the performance of the
Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

Seller outside of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, conversations of any kind, whether through
oral or electronic communication. The Purchaser represents that it has adequate information on which to
base its decision to purchase Tokens through this Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the terms
applying to the use and enjoyment of the WTR shall be subject to the Applicable Purchase Terms, as
modified from time to time. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Terms shall be at the sole and absolute
discretion of the Seller and will be binding on the Purchaser regardless of the extent, nature or impact of
such changes.

governmental authority passed upon or endorsed the merits of this offering.

employees or agents (including developers, auditors, contractors or founders) harmless for any claim,
5

that result from the delivery of Tokens to the Purchaser) associated with or arising from the Purchaser’s

15. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO


ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH SELLER AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH
YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

(a) This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, without regard to conflict of law rules or
principles (whether of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Binding Arbitration. Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of
action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual
action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of
intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade
secrets or patents, you and Seller (i) waive your and Seller’s respective rights to have any and all
Disputes arising from or related to this Agreement resolved in a court and (ii) waive your and Seller’s
respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Seller will arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration
(which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making
a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in
court).

(c) Any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement is personal to you and
Seller and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a classwide
arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no classwide
arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of
another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of

8
representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group
of individuals.

(d) Any Dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single
arbitrator pursuant to the rules of arbitration then in force of the London Court of International Arbitration,
which rules are incorporated by reference herein. The elapse of sixty (60) days shall not be a precondition
to the obtaining of emergency interim relief, either via arbitration or from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

(e) The seat (or legal venue) of arbitration shall be London. Such arbitration shall be
the exclusive remedy hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 15 shall limit any party’s
right to bring (i) post arbitration actions seeking to enforce an arbitration award or (ii) actions seeking
injunctive or other similar relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated hereby). The decision of the arbitrator may, but
need not, be entered as judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. If this arbitration provision is for any
reason held to be invalid or otherwise inapplicable to any dispute, the parties agree that any action or
proceeding brought with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement, or to interpret or clarify any
rights or obligations arising hereunder, shall be maintained solely and exclusively in the courts of England
and Wales. With respect to any action or proceeding that a successful party to the arbitration may wish to
bring to enforce any arbitral award or to seek injunctive or other similar relief in the event of the breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated hereby), each party
irrevocably and unconditionally (and without limitation): (i) submits to and accepts, generally and
unconditionally the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, (ii) waives any objection
it may have now or in the future that such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient
forum, (iii) agrees that in any such action or proceeding it will not raise, rely on or claim any immunity
(including, without limitation, from suit, judgment, attachment before judgment or otherwise, execution or
other enforcement), (iv) waives any right of immunity which it has or its assets may have at any time, and
(v) consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any such
action or proceeding including, without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution of any order or
judgment against any of its property. IN ENTERING INTO THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OF
THIS SECTION 15, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES
ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN
CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT
OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

16. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous disclosures,
discussions, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between them relating to the
subject matter hereof.

(b) Notices.

(i) To Purchaser:  We may provide any notice to you, at our option, under
this Agreement by sending an email to the email address then associated with your Applicable Purchase
Terms. It is the responsibility of the Seller to keep its email address current. Seller will be deemed to have

(c) In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is for any
reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any respect, or in the event that
any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate
this Agreement, then and in any such event, only such provision(s) will be deemed null and void and will
not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will

Exhibit A

RISK FACTORS

A purchase of the Tokens involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks
and uncertainties described below before deciding to purchase the Tokens. The occurrence of any of the
following risks could result in you losing all or part of your investment.

WTR Release Risks

Risks Associated with Failure to Reach or Achieve Network Launch or Other Failures Associated
Preventing or Frustrating the Release of the WTR.

There may be technical, regulatory, financial, and other hurdles that may undermine, or otherwise
prevent the Seller from adequately establishing the Network Launch so as to prevent the proper
functionalities of the WTR. Moreover, at any given time even following Network Launch, there may be a
variety of legal, regulatory, and/or other issues that may prevent temporarily or permanently adversely
affect or frustrate the use or enjoyment of the Tokens. Accordingly, Purchasers must be able to bear such
risk.

Network Launch Risks.

While the Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate a meaningful Network Launch, it
cannot guarantee such outcome and accordingly, WTRs may never be made available.

Business Risks

Risks Relating to the Further Development and Acceptance of Blockchain Technology and
Cryptocurrencies

The growth of the blockchain industry in general and cryptocurrencies in particular is subject to a
high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the foregoing include, without limitation:

• Worldwide growth in the adoption and use of blockchain technologies and


cryptocurrencies;

• Government and quasi-government regulation of blockchain technologies and


cryptocurrencies;

• The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and
services, or trading assets, including new means of using fiat currencies;

• General economic conditions; and

• A decline in the popularity or acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

The slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of
blockchain networks and cryptocurrencies may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the
Network and the Tokens.

Risks Associated with the Development and Launch of the Network

The Network has not yet been developed and its development will require significant capital, the
expertise of the Seller’s management and substantial time and effort by skilled developers and other
parties. The Seller may not retain the services of developers with the technical skills and expertise
needed to successfully develop the Network and progress it to a successful launch. In addition, even if
the Network is successfully developed and launched, there can be no assurance that the Network will
function as intended or that it will be able to sustain long-term operation of the Tokens or other large scale
distributed applications or cryptocurrencies. Although the Seller intends for the Network to have the
features and specifications set forth in the Network Papers, changes to such features and specifications
may be made for any number of reasons. There can be no assurance that the Network or the Tokens will
function as described in the Network Papers or will be launched according to the Seller’s current plans.

The Seller plans to incorporate various technology solutions into the Network. Some or all of
these technology solutions may be new and/or relatively untested. There is significant risk to building and
implementing such new technologies that may have never been used, or that are being used in different
ways. There is no guarantee that such technologies will operate as intended or as described in the
Network Papers or will be launched according to the Seller’s current plans.

Risks Associated with a Lack of Interest in the Network

It is possible that the Network will not be used by a large number of individuals, companies and
other entities and/or that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed
ecosystems (such as the Network) more generally or distributed applications to be used on the Network.
Such a lack of use or interest could negatively affect the development of the Network and the Tokens.

Technical Risks Associated with the Network

The Network may include coding errors or otherwise not function as intended, which may
negatively affect the Network and the functionality of the Tokens. Upgrades to the Network after it
launches, a hard fork in the Network or a change in how transactions are confirmed on the Network may
have unintended adverse effects on the Tokens. As a result, any such coding errors or unintended
functionalities in the Network may remain unresolved.

Risk that the Network is Superseded

There can be no assurance that the technology being proposed to underpin the Network will not
be supplanted by competing protocols that improve upon, or fully replace, the Network technology. It is
not known whether the Network will become the predominant protocol adopted globally by the industry. If
the Network is surpassed or superseded, usage of the Tokens and adoption may decline. The Network’s
technology will be available as open-source, meaning that anyone can copy and disseminate the Network
source code either in the same form or with modifications as a “fork.”

Risk of Competing Ecosystems

It is possible that alternative ecosystems could be established that leverage the same open
source code and protocol underlying the Network and/or attempt to facilitate services that are materially
similar to those provided by the Network. The Network may compete with these alternatives, which could
negatively impact the Network and Tokens, including WTR.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

Uncertain Regulatory Framework

The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear
or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will
regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority
may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, digital
assets, blockchain technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively affect the Tokens in
2
various ways, including, for example, through a determination that the Tokens are regulated financial
instruments that require registration or licensing of those instruments or some or all of the parties involved
in the sale, purchase and delivery thereof. The Seller, may cease the distribution of Tokens, cease the
development of the Network or cease operations in a specific jurisdiction in the event that governmental
authority, regulatory actions, changes to law or regulations, or other actions make such distribution,
development and/or operations unlawful or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory
approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.

Legal and Regulatory Factors Relating to the Seller’s Business Model Might Present Barriers to
Success

The Network will operate in a new and developing legal and regulatory environment. The
established body of law, regulations, and court decisions concerning blockchain and smart contracts is
nascent, and the law regarding token sales and cryptocurrencies is developing. As a result, it is possible
that there could be legal disputes over the interpretation of smart contracts used in connection with the
Network, thus undermining the functionality of the Network and the Tokens. To the extent licenses or
other authorizations are required in one or more jurisdictions in which the Seller operates or will operate,
there is no guarantee that the Seller will be granted such licenses or authorizations. The Seller may need
to change its business model, and therefore modify the proposed use of the Network and the Tokens to
comply with these licensing and/or registration requirements (or any other legal or regulatory
requirements) in order to avoid violating applicable laws or regulations or because of the cost of such
compliance.

The Seller’s proposed cryptocurrency exchange, which forms the backbone of the Seller’s
business strategy (the “Exchange”) must overcome a number of regulatory hurdles before it may
commence operation as a broker-dealer based alternative trading system (or other registered exchange
category, as applicable) for crypto-securities and the failure to overcome any one of these hurdles may
prevent the Exchange from operating (including but not limited to the United States), may require us to
reconfigure our proposed commercial offerings.

A significant portion of our strategy is to establish the Exchange. The laws, rules, regulations
governing an Exchange are uncertain within the United States and many other parts of the world.
Moreover, registration, transparency, and governmental oversight may be necessary for us to operate the
Exchange in the United States and serve United States users (and possibly users in other parts of the
world). Accordingly, with regard to the United States, we may have to submit an application to Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA)” to become a broker-dealer alternative trading system in order to
comply with US laws, rules, regulations. The Exchange (as well as the Seller and/or the Seller’s affiliates
chosen for broker-dealer functions) must satisfy a number of different requirements before FINRA will
admit it as a member and allow it to commence operations as a broker-dealer. In addition, we or our
future potential affiliate Broker-Dealer/ATS will likely have to file a Form ATS with the SEC and meet
applicable SEC requirements to operate as an alternative trading system. The Seller believes that some
of the items that it (or its future potential affiliates) will have to address in its regulatory filings are its
policies and procedures for: (i) establishing clearing, settlement, custody and control procedures suitable
for blockchain based securities that meet the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3, the “Customer
Protection Rule,” and FINRA Rules; (ii) engaging an auditor with necessary expertise to verify the
existence and value of blockchain based securities; and (iii) obtaining approval of the Seller’s, its future
affiliates’, and/or the Exchange’s proposed procedures for recording trade information to the blockchain
that meet the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 17a-3 and FINRA recordkeeping rules. Each of the
foregoing presents novel issues in the context of blockchain based securities and there can be no
assurance given that the Seller, its future affiliates, and/or the Exchange will be able to provide FINRA
and the SEC with the responses and comfort for them to approve Exchange's proposed operations. If the
Exchange is not able to operate as a broker-dealer based alternative trading system, the Exchange may
not launch in the United States which could result in investors losing all of their investment.

3
We may not receive approval from staff at the SEC or FINRA to operate the Exchange in the
manner we are currently intending, or at all, or the Exchange may fail to demonstrate the viability of our
systems, which would require us to create another method for demonstrating the viability of our systems
or could result in our failing to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to operate our Exchange (at
least within the United States).

We will explore the possibility upon launching the Exchange to demonstrate to the SEC and to
FINRA, through the records created in connection with the launching of the Exchange that it complies
with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Prior to launching the Exchange for use by United States
persons and users, we will likely need permission from the SEC and FINRA, as the Exchange MAY
require (i) the Seller or its affiliate to perform broker-dealer functions prior to its being admitted as a
member of FINRA and having its broker-dealer registration with the SEC becoming effective and (ii) the
Exchange to operate as an alternative trading system, prior to registering with the SEC as an alternative
trading system. If either the SEC or FINRA, or both, fail to give us permission to operate the Exchange, or
if we do receive approval but the Exchange is unsuccessful in demonstrating the viability of the
Exchange’s operations in a legally transparent and legally compliant fashion in the US laws, rules, and
regulations we will be required to find an alternative means to achieve this goal. This could significantly
delay the launch of the Exchange in the United States and, if we are not able to find an alternative means
of demonstrating such viability to the satisfaction of the SEC and FINRA, or if the alternative method fails
to demonstrate the viability of our technology, we may not be able to launch the Exchange within the
United States and commence full operation of the Exchange.

If we do receive approval from staff at the SEC and FINRA to operate the Exchange and the
Exchange proves incapable of processing trades or is otherwise operationally unsuccessful we will be
required to redesign the Exchange to address the failures which we may not be able to do. If participants
are not able to successfully complete trades or if the processing time is slow or unpredictable, we will
have to address those problems before launching the Exchange. The Exchange may demonstrate other
problems that will need to be addressed, including a complete system failure. In such an event we may
not be able to launch the Exchange.

Risks of Government and Private Actions

The cryptocurrency market is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny,
including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental
authorities will not examine the operations of the Seller, or enact regulations or pursue enforcement
actions against the Seller, which may result in curtailment of, or inability to operate, the Network as
intended, or judgments, settlements, fines or penalties against the Seller. In addition, non-governmental
parties may bring private legal actions against the Seller, either individually or as a class, which may
result in curtailment of, or inability to operate, the Network as intended, or judgments, settlements, fines or
penalties against the Seller.

Risks Associated with Intellectual Property Matters

The Seller does not currently hold any issued patents and, thus, would not be entitled to exclude
or prevent other entities from replicating its technology, methods and processes. While the Seller enters
into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its developers, no assurance can be given
that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to the Seller’s proprietary information and
trade secrets. The confidentiality agreements on which the Seller relies to protect certain technologies
may be breached, may not be adequate to protect its confidential information, trade secrets and
proprietary technologies and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or
disclosure of its confidential information, trade secrets or proprietary technology. Further, these
agreements do not prevent the Seller’s competitors or others from independently developing technology
that is substantially equivalent or superior to their technology. In addition, others may independently
discover the Seller’s trade secrets and confidential information, and in such cases, the Seller likely would
not be able to assert any trade secret rights against such parties.

4
Although the Seller does not believe that the technology, processes and methods relating to the
Network have been patented by any third party, it is possible that patents have been issued to third
parties that cover all or a portion of the Network. Patent holders or other intellectual property owners may
assert that the Seller’s methods or practices infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their intellectual
property or other proprietary rights. Any such claims, regardless of merit, could result in substantial
expenses, divert the attention of management or materially disrupt the operation of the Network, including
through awarded injunctive relief.

Other Risks

Risks of Losing Access to the Tokens

When issued, the Tokens received by you may be held in a digital wallet or vault, which requires a
private key or a combination of private keys for access. Accordingly, loss of the private key(s) associated
with your digital wallet or vault storing the Tokens will result in the loss of such Tokens. Moreover, any
third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a
hosted wallet or vault service you use, may be able to misappropriate your Tokens. The Seller is not
responsible for any such losses.

In addition, any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the digital wallet or vault
you choose to receive and store Tokens, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such
digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your Tokens. Additionally, your failure to follow
precisely the procedures set forth for buying and receiving Tokens, may also result in the loss of your
Tokens.

Risks Associated with Other Protocols

Because the Tokens and the Network are based on other blockchain protocols such as
BinanceChain, Cosmos and Ethereum, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of either protocol
may have a material adverse effect on the Tokens or the Network. Moreover, advances in cryptography,
or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to the Tokens
and the Network by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the
protocols.

Risks of Hacking and Security Weakness

The Tokens may be subject to expropriation and/or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or
organizations may attempt to interfere with the Network or with the Tokens in a variety of ways, including
but not limited to malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks,
smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Network will be released as open-source software,
hackers or other individuals may uncover and exploit intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses in
the Network which may negatively affect the Network and the Tokens, including the WTR. Hackers or
other malicious groups of organizations may also attempt to get access to private keys or other access
credentials of any wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism used to receive and hold the Tokens which
would result in the loss of your Tokens or the loss of your ability to access or control your Tokens.

Risk to the Network from Malicious Actors; No Control by Seller

If a malicious actor or botnet obtains some control over the Network, such a bad actor could
engage in fraudulent or otherwise malicious conduct with respect to the Tokens. As the Seller will not
have any management authority or otherwise have any control over the Network, unless it serves in the
role of a depositor or validator, the Seller would not have the authority or ability to prevent such a bad
actor from engaging in fraudulent or otherwise malicious conduct.

5
Risks of Uninsured Losses

Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, the Tokens are uninsured
unless you specifically obtain private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss, there is no
public insurer, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurance arranged by the
Seller, to offer recourse to you.

Risks Associated with The Sale and Purchase of the Tokens

There can be no assurance that the Token Sale will be conducted as expected or that purchasers
will subscribe for a significant supply of Tokens available for sale which could impact the Seller’s ability to
develop the Tokens and the Network.

The Tokens are intended to be used by users in the Network. The Tokens are not investment
products. There should be no expectation of future profit or gain from the purchase or sale of the Tokens.
The Tokens do not represent (i) any equity or other ownership interest in the Seller, (ii) any rights to
dividends or other distribution rights from the Seller, or (iii) any governance rights in Tokens.

Public policy towards token sales and cryptocurrency is evolving, and it is conceivable that
regulators may in the future seek to broaden the scope of regulation of token sales or cryptocurrency. If
the offer and sale of the Tokens becomes subject to registration, prospectus or licensing requirements in
a particular jurisdiction, the Seller may be found liable if it has not complied with the applicable
registration, prospectus or licensing requirements, and the market for the Tokens may be adversely
affected. There are also other risks of participating in any token sale involving cryptocurrency, including
volatility in cryptocurrency markets, the possibility of increasing regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges,
the potential for a post facto government investigation of a token sale and other risks.

Governance Risks

While it is the Seller’s intention to provide WTR with certain key governance functionalities, which
theoretically would allow holders of the Tokens to influence functionalities, expenditures, and other key
decisions with regard to the Network, there is no guarantee that any Purchasers will have any significant
impact on the operation of the Network or the Seller. Moreover, Purchasers should be aware that the
Tokens do NOT provide any governance capabilities over the operations, decision-making, or any other
aspect of the Exchange. Accordingly, purchasers of the Token should not purchase the Tokens if they do
not have the ability of the risk with not being able to control any of the foregoing.

Risk of Price Volatility

The prices of cryptocurrencies have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are
highly volatile, and the market price of the Tokens may also be highly volatile. Several factors may
influence the market price of the Tokens, including, but not limited to:

• Global supply of cryptocurrencies, both with respect to the number of different


cryptocurrencies and the supply of each individual cryptocurrency;

• Global demand for cryptocurrencies, which can be influenced by the growth of


acceptance of cryptocurrencies as payment for goods and services, the security of online cryptocurrency
exchanges and digital wallets that hold cryptocurrencies, the perception that the use and holding of
cryptocurrencies is safe and secure, and the regulatory restrictions on their use;

• Changes in software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying


blockchain technologies;

6
• Fiat currency withdrawal and deposit policies of cryptocurrency exchanges on which
cryptocurrencies may be traded and liquidity on such exchanges;

• Interruptions in service from or failures of major cryptocurrency exchanges;

• Investment and trading activities of large investors, including private and registered
funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in cryptocurrencies;

• Monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and


revaluations; and

• Regulatory measures, if any, that affect the use of cryptocurrencies.

A decrease in the price of a single cryptocurrency may cause volatility in the entire cryptocurrency
industry and may affect other cryptocurrencies, including the Tokens. For example, a security breach that
affects investor or user confidence in Bitcoin or Ethereum may affect the industry as a whole and may
also cause the price of the Tokens and other cryptocurrencies to fluctuate.

Risks Associated with the Use of Proceeds

While the Seller intends to use the proceeds paid by Purchaser as described in the Use of
Proceeds section of the Agreement, there is no restriction on the Seller’s use of the proceeds paid by the
Purchaser except as set forth in the Agreement and there is no restriction on the Seller’s use of the funds
generated from the Token Sale or on the Seller’s ability to transfer those funds to, or make payments for
the benefit of, its affiliates, including as compensation to the Seller’s directors, officers and employees.
There can be no assurance that the Seller will have sufficient funds to make repayment of any Purchase
Amount (as defined in the Agreement) as and when required under the terms of the Agreement. The
Seller has no fiduciary or other obligation to use the funds generated by the token sale for the benefit of
the purchasers, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement in connection with the Seller’s
contingent obligation to repay any Purchase Amount.

Taxation Risks

The tax characterization of the Tokens is uncertain, and you must seek your own tax advice in all
jurisdictions relevant to you in connection with your purchase of the Tokens. A purchase of the Tokens
may result in adverse tax consequences to you, including withholding taxes, income taxes and tax
reporting requirements. It is also possible that the proceeds to the Seller would be subject to significant
amounts of income and/or withholding taxes. Further, the use of the Tokens as a form of currency may or
may be subject to income taxes, capital gains taxes, value added, sales or use taxes or other forms of
taxes. The uncertainty in the tax treatment of the Tokens and transactions in the Tokens may expose
subscribers, prospective purchasers and the Seller alike to unforeseen future tax consequences
associated with the purchase, ownership, sale or other use of the Tokens.

Capital Control Risks

Many jurisdictions impose strict controls on the cross-border flow of capital. Holders of the
Tokens may be subject to these regulations.

Countering the Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Regulations

A variety of countries throughout the world have issued a series of regulations to combat terrorist
financing and money- laundering activities, including but not limited to by and through enacting various
legislation to control the flow of capital for such illicit activities. In the event that licenses, registrations or
other authorizations are required under applicable CFT and/or AML regulations to operate the Network,
there is no guarantee that the Seller will be able to successfully obtain such licenses, registrations or
7
authorizations. In addition, any illicit use of the Tokens by bad actors could breach such regulations and
seriously impact the global reputation of the Network. In such an event, it is conceivable that this could
trigger scrutiny by CFT and AML regulators and potentially cause significant disruption to the distribution
and circulation of the Tokens.

Unanticipated Risks

Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks
included herein there are potentially other unanticipated risks associated with the purchase, possession,
and use of the Tokens. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of
the risks discussed herein.

THE FOREGOING LIST OF RISK FACTORS DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE


ENUMERATION OR EXPLANATION OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN ANY PURCHASE OF THE
TOKENS. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN ADVISERS
BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO MAKE ANY PURCHASE OF THE TOKENS.
