Payment Methods: You may make payments using:

●

AutoPay: You may authorize Lender to automatically debit your designated bank account monthly via preauthorized electronic fund transfers (“EFT”). You may establish, view, change, or cancel AutoPay on the Lender Website. If you elect to engage in EFT by ACH transfer, you further agree to complete the Consumer ACH Authorization and Agreement in EXHIBIT A below, in addition to any other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender to effectuate and/or authorize such EFT.

You may not change or cancel payments to be made from the interest reserve. If the Loan is pre-paid, any amounts that remain in the interest reserve following repayment in full of all obligations will be returned to you.

●

ChainFi, Inc Loan and Security Agreement Template

a subsequent month lacks that day, the due date will be the last day of that month. During the Repayment Period, you will be able to see the Total Loan Amount, remaining principal balance, if applicable, and the monthly interest amount that is due on the Lender Website.

●

Amortized Loans: You will make monthly principal and interest payments and a final lump-sum "balloon" payment of the principal balance at the end of the Repayment Period, plus any other charges owed. Payments begin thirty (30) days after the Disbursement Date and continue on the same day of each successive month. The first payment and total interest may vary based on the actual funding date or payment due date changes.

●

Interest-Only Loans: You will make monthly payments of accrued interest only during the Repayment Period and a final lump-sum "balloon" payment of the outstanding principal, plus any other charges owed at the end of the Repayment Period. Payments begin thirty (30) days after the Disbursement Date and continue on the same day of each successive month. The first payment and total interest may vary based on the actual funding date or payment due date changes.

●

Deferred Interest Loan: You will pay all accrued monthly interest, the principal balance plus any other charges owed at the end of the Repayment Period in a final lump-sum "balloon" payment. If you elect to prepay your Deferred Interest Loan in full in accordance with Section 10, then the prepayment amount shall include all accrued but unpaid interest on your Loan.

●

Monthly interest amounts are calculated based on the principal and Repayment Period. Partial principal prepayments will recalculate interest and balloon payments based on the original duration.

Application of Payments: Unless prohibited by law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid monthly payments, Late Payment Fees, or unpaid fees, then to the monthly interest payment, and any excess will be applied to the principal balance.

Late Payment Fee: If any part of a monthly payment is unpaid for 5 days after the due date, Lender will charge a late payment fee, which will be the greater of (1) 1% of the total amount due (interest, principal, prior unpaid amounts, and fees) or (2) $10.00.

Late Payments - Liquidation: If any part of a monthly payment remains unpaid for more than 20 days after the due date (or longer as required by law), Lender may liquidate a portion of your Collateral equal to the monthly payment plus any Late Payment Fee and Liquidation Fee.

Payment Failure Fee: Lender may charge a fifteen dollars ($15) "Payment Failure Fee" if any attempted payment is not collected (e.g., due to insufficient funds). Only one Payment Failure Fee will be assessed per dishonored payment, and it will be added to the balance due on the next payment date.

Balloon Payment - Liquidation: If the principal Loan payment and the payment of all accrued interest is not made within 20 days of the end of the Repayment Period, Lender may liquidate your Collateral and retain the proceeds to cover the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and any other amounts owed.

ChainFi, Inc Loan and Security Agreement Template

Notwithstanding the above, failure to meet any of these conditions will not provide a basis for you to contest the enforceability of the Loan.

Determination of Market Value

For all purposes, Collateral Market Value will be the number of Collateral units multiplied by the last trade price (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion from sources like CoinMarketCap or any other pricing source Lender chooses), at the time of reference, for each unit in the Depository Account. Lender may, at its sole discretion, disregard or account for the value of new Digital Assets or Investment Property created from forking, stock splits, or similar events after this Agreement's date.

Collateral

Initial Deposit of Digital Asset Collateral: For any Digital Asset required as Collateral, you have 24 hours after submitting the Application to transfer it into the Depository Account. Failure to do so will automatically terminate this Agreement. You will promptly execute and deliver all necessary instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole discretion, within the time prescribed by Lender, to perfect and protect Lender's security interest in the Collateral (including for the Lender to obtain control of your Investment Property pledged to secure the Loan).

Location of Depository Account; Use of Collateral: Lender may change the Depository Account location without notice. You are not permitted to withdraw, pledge, or access pledged Digital Asset until your Loan is paid in full.

Additional Collateral and Liquidation:

If your Collateral's value decreases between Agreement entry and deposit into the Depository Account, you may be required to deposit additional Collateral as instructed by Lender.

●

Upon notice of a Trigger Event, you will promptly (within 24 hours) deposit additional Collateral or pay down the principal balance to bring the LTV below 100%.

●

Failure to meet this requirement within 24 hours may result in Lender liquidating your Collateral to (1) bring the LTV below 100% and apply proceeds to the principal and fees, or (2) fully pay off the outstanding principal and fees.

●

If the LTV is equal to or greater than 100% at any time, Lender may immediately liquidate your Collateral and retain the proceeds to cover the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and any other amounts owed.

Liquidation of Collateral in Event of ACH Chargeback or Payment Reversal: If an ACH payment related to this Agreement or any other account with Lender is charged back or reversed, whether or not the chargeback or reversal is made at your request, Lender may liquidate your Collateral in the amount of the chargeback or reversed payment.

ChainFi, Inc Loan and Security Agreement Template

Withdrawal of Excess Collateral: Borrower may request a partial return of Collateral in the event that the Borrower’s Loan LTV has dropped below 70%. In this instance, Borrower can request a partial return of collateral to bring the Borrower’s Loan LTV back to 95%.

Liquidation Fee: Any Collateral liquidated by Lender is subject to a 2.5% processing fee on the liquidated amount. Lender may liquidate additional Collateral to cover this fee.

Collateral Usage: The Collateral provided by the Borrower will not be rehypothecated or further used, unless the Borrower is in default of the Loan.

Notices

Optional Rollover

If you have elected to establish an interest reserve account for your Loan, then Borrower may, at its option, request a Loan that includes (i) an interest reserve described in Section 5.3, and (ii) an option to extend the term of the Loan at maturity for an additional 1-year term (“Optional Rollover”). The Loan, as extended, shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as outlined in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Lender reserves the right to modify the following terms for the duration of the extension: Origination Fee, Interest Rate, any LTV ratios, Trigger Event thresholds, Liquidation Event thresholds, Liquidation Fee, and Late Payment Fee. The principal amount of the Loan will, at the time of such extension, be increased in an amount equal to the dollars required to fund the interest reserve for the new term. The extension of such Loans will occur automatically subject to the conditions set forth in Section 14.2 below, unless the Borrower provides notice to Lender least three (3) Business Days prior to the then existing maturity date via email at support@archlending.com.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that an Optional Rollover shall not occur if the LTV of the new Loan (as increased to include amounts borrowed for the interest reserve) exceeds 100%. In this scenario, Borrower will need to either (i) deposit additional Collateral to bring the LTV below 100% or (ii) decrease the Loan amount.

15.

Termination

This Agreement and the security interests created by it will automatically terminate upon full payment of all indebtedness and performance of all obligations hereunder.

ChainFi, Inc Loan and Security Agreement Template

GOVERNED BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.

●

YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE APPLICABLE STATE LAW AND VENUE IS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN LENDER'S WILLINGNESS TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.

●

Venue: Any suit, action, or proceeding arising under this Agreement, if Lender elects, will be instituted in any court sitting in New York County, New York.

●

You agree the Acceptable Forums are convenient, submit to their jurisdiction, and waive all objections to jurisdiction or venue. If a proceeding is initiated elsewhere, you waive the right to oppose any motion by Lender to transfer it to an Acceptable Forum.

To the extent permitted by law, you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of this Agreement or Related Documents.

Updating Information: You agree to update your Application information whenever Lender asks.

Lender's Rights and Waivers: Your responsibility for paying your Loan is unaffected by Lender’s failure to notify you of unpaid payments. Lender’s rights are cumulative and will not be construed as exclusive of each other unless required by law. Lender may delay, fail to exercise, or waive any rights without losing the right to exercise them later. Lender is not obligated to demand, notice, or protest non-payment before suing to collect if you are in default, and unless prohibited by law, you waive any right to require such actions. Lender may accept late or partial payments without losing rights.

Waiver by Lender: Lender will not be deemed to have waived any rights unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission in exercising rights constitutes a waiver. A waiver of one provision does not prejudice or waive strict compliance with that or other provisions. Prior waivers or courses of dealing do not constitute a waiver for future transactions. Lender's consent, if required, is not continuing and may be granted or withheld at its sole discretion.

TCPA Consent: Notwithstanding any current or prior election to opt in or opt out of receiving telemarketing calls or SMS messages (including text messages) from Lender, its agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on its behalf, you expressly consent to be contacted by Lender, its agents, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on its behalf for any Loan-related purposes, at any telephone number, or physical or email address you provide or at which you may be reached. This includes SMS messages (text messages), calls using prerecorded messages or artificial voice, and calls and messages using automatic telephone dialing systems (auto-dialers) or automatic texting systems, even if you incur costs. Telephone numbers you provide include those you give to Lender, those from which you or others contact Lender with regard to your account, or which Lender obtains through other means (such as skip-trace or caller ID capture). Agents may leave messages on answering machines, voicemail, or via text. You certify the provided telephone numbers are yours and you are permitted to receive calls at them. You agree to promptly alert Lender if you stop using a number. You also consent to Lender communicating with employment and personal references listed in your Application.

Call Recording: You agree that Lender and its agents, representatives, affiliates, or anyone calling on its behalf may contact you on a recorded line.

Assignment: You may not assign this Agreement or its benefits or obligations. Lender may assign

ChainFi, Inc Loan and Security Agreement Template

this Agreement, including your Application, at any time. The terms bind and benefit Lender’s successors and assigns.

Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be considered omitted without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.

Modification: This Agreement may only be modified if jointly agreed upon in writing by Lender and you.

10.

Error Correction: All parties agree to fully cooperate and adjust typographical, computer, calculation, or clerical errors in any Loan documents, including this Agreement and Disclosure Statement. You will be notified and receive a corrected copy of the changed document.

11.

Withholding Taxes: Your obligation to make required payments is not affected by any withholding taxes under foreign law. You agree to make all required payments regardless of such laws.

12.

U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is brought, or before any other party Lender and you agree to in writing (provided such party does not have a policy inconsistent with this Arbitration Agreement). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA cannot serve, and you and the Borrower cannot agree on a replacement, a court with jurisdiction will select the administrator or arbitrator.

DEFINITIONS FOR ARBITRATION SECTION: For this section, "Lender" includes Lender, any subsequent holder of your Loan, and all of Lender’s officers, directors, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents, and any co-defendant named with Lender (e.g., loan servicers, debt collectors). "Claim" has the broadest possible meaning, including initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, and disputes based on contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law, and equity (including injunctive or declaratory relief).

FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.

Each party will bear its own attorneys, experts, and witnesses' expenses, regardless of which party prevails, unless applicable law or this Agreement allows recovery. If your Claim is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, you may choose whether arbitration is conducted solely on documents, telephonically, or in-person per AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), hearing rights are determined by AAA Rules.

The arbitrator may award all remedies permitted by substantive law (compensatory, statutory, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and costs, subject to constitutional limits), and declaratory or injunctive relief only for the individual party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted in that party’s individual claim. Upon timely request of either party, the arbitrator will provide a brief explanation of the award. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. If a claim or defense is frivolous or intended to oppress the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions (fees and expenses incurred by the other party, including arbitration administration fees, arbitrator’s fees, and attorney, expert and witness fees) to the extent permissible under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

You understand that the "Transfer Funds" feature allows you to electronically transfer funds via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) between your eligible Lender account(s) and your external bank account(s) at other financial institutions (each, an "External Account"). This feature becomes available once you've successfully registered your External Account(s).

Your "Transfer Funds" feature includes, but isn't limited to, these types of transfers:

●

One-Time On-Demand Transfers: These allow you to initiate multiple, non-recurring, individual transfers. You'll specify the transfer date and dollar amount for each transfer through the "Transfer Funds" feature of Online and Mobile Banking as you need them.

●

Recurring Transfers: These allow you to set up transfers of a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals. You'll establish these intervals through the "Transfer Funds" feature of Online and Mobile Banking.

●

Other ACH Transfer Features: This includes any other ACH transfer functionalities that we may make available to you in the future.

Your Authorization for ACH Transfers

Subject to the terms of the "Transfer Funds" feature and your other agreements with Lender, you authorize Lender to initiate electronic credit and debit entries to your eligible Lender account(s) and each registered External Account. This authorization covers:

●

On-Demand Transfers: Various amounts at varying times, initiated by your instructions.

●

Recurring Transfers (Preauthorized Transfers): Fixed amounts at the frequency you've selected, initiated by your instructions.

You understand and agree that if any transfer date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, the transfer may be executed on the next business day, or as soon as reasonably possible at Lender’s discretion.

Your Representations, Warranties, and Compliance

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to authorize debits and credits to your Lender account and any registered External Account(s). You also confirm that all

information and instructions you provide to Lender regarding any ACH transfer are complete and accurate. You agree that all ACH transactions you authorize will comply with all applicable laws.

Correcting Your Errors

Should an incorrect amount be withdrawn from or deposited to your External Account(s) or your Lender account(s), you authorize Lender to correct the error by debiting or crediting the respective account(s).

Terminating Your Authorization

This authorization will remain in full force and effect until Lender has received written notification from you of its termination. You must provide such notification in a timely manner that allows Lender a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

For Preauthorized Transfers, you understand that it's your responsibility to contact Lender to stop or cancel a Preauthorized Transfer at least three (3) business days prior to the following scheduled payment.

In either case, please send your written notice to:

Compliance with ACH Rules

You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions must comply with the provisions of applicable law and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). You request the financial institution that holds your External Account(s) to honor all transfers initiated in accordance with this authorization.
