Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to FutureX a lump sum amount in cash equal to US$46,000,000 (the “Settlement Amount”) on the earliest of (i) the closing of the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer being the surviving company (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 30, 2020 by and among the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”), or any other transaction having a similar effect, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) March 31, 2021, which may be extended to June 30, 2021 by mutual written consent of the Issuer and FutureX solely for the purpose of satisfying certain closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (such earliest date, the “Settlement Date”).
