5.3 Calculation of Termination Payment.

a. If an Early Termination Date is designated with respect to any Transaction, the “Settlement Amount” for such Terminated Transaction shall be the difference between the Replacement Value and the Contract Value of such Terminated Transaction, as calculated by the Non-Defaulting Party as follows:

i. If the Non-Defaulting Party in respect of a Terminated Transaction is Seller and the Replacement Value is greater than the Contract Value, then the Settlement Amount shall be the amount of such excess plus the pro rata portion of the Contract Value attributable to any Contract Price actually paid by Buyer and shall be payable by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party;

ii. If the Non-Defaulting Party in respect of a Terminated Transaction is Seller and the Replacement Value is less than the Contract Value, then the Settlement Amount shall be the amount of such difference less the pro rata portion of the Contract Value attributable to any Contract Price actually paid by Buyer and shall be payable by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party;

iii. If the Non-Defaulting Party in respect of a Terminated Transaction is Buyer and the Replacement Value is greater than the Contract Value, then the Settlement Amount shall be the amount of such excess plus the pro rata portion of the Contract Value attributable to any Contract Price actually paid by Buyer and shall be payable by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party; and

iv. If the Non-Defaulting Party in respect of a Terminated Transaction is Buyer and the Replacement Value is less than the Contract Value, then the Settlement Amount shall be the amount of such difference less the pro rata portion of the Contract Value attributable to any Contract Price actually paid by Buyer and shall be payable by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.

v. If the sum of the Settlement Amounts payable by the Defaulting Party is greater than the sum of Settlement Amounts payable by the Non-Defaulting Party, then a single payment in the amount of such excess will be payable to the Non-Defaulting Party by the Defaulting Party on the date specified in Section 5.4. If the sum of the Settlement Amounts payable by the Non­ Defaulting Party is greater than the sum of the Settlement Amounts payable by the Defaulting Party, then a single payment in the amount of such excess Settlement Amounts will be payable by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party on the date specified in Section

5.4 Notice of Payment of Termination Payment. As soon as practicable after the calculation of the Termination Payment, the Non-Defaulting Party shall notify the Defaulting Party in writing of the amount of the Termination Payment and whether the Termination Payment is due to or due from the Non-Defaulting Party. The notice shall include a written statement explaining in reasonable detail the calculation of such Termination Payment to the Defaulting Party and CirclesX. If the Termination Payment is due to the Non-Defaulting Party, the Defaulting Party shall pay such Termination Payment within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, together with interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) at the Default Rate, to the extent permitted under applicable law, compounded daily, from (and including) the Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the day such amount is paid; provided, however, that to the extent that the Termination Payment is calculated in respect of a termination pursuant to Article 3, no such interest shall be payable. If the Termination Payment is due from the Non-Defaulting Party, the Non­-Defaulting Party shall pay such Termination Payment, without interest, within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such notice.

5.5 Disputes With Respect to Termination Payment. If the Defaulting Party disputes the Non-Defaulting Party’s calculation of the Termination Payment, in whole or in part, the Defaulting Party shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Non-Defaulting Party’s explanation of the calculation of the Termination Payment, provide to the Non-Defaulting Party and CirclesX a detailed written explanation of the basis for such dispute; provided, however, that if the Termination Payment is due from the Defaulting Party, the Defaulting Party shall pay any undisputed amount and transfer Performance Assurance, if any, to the Non-Defaulting Party in an amount equal to the disputed amount of the Termination Payment. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve by mutual agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the arbitration mechanism elected on the Schedule.

5.6 Closeout Setoff. After calculation of a Termination Payment in accordance with Section 5.3 (unless such Termination Payment was calculated as a result of a termination pursuant to Article 3), if the Defaulting Party would be owed the Termination Payment, the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled, at its option and in its discretion, to set off against such Termination Payment any amounts due and owing by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party under any other agreements, instruments or undertakings between the Defaulting Party and the Non-Defaulting Party which are not related to the CirclesX Trade Hub. The remedy provided for in this Section shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Defaulting Party shall not be required to pay to the Defaulting Party any amount owing by the Non-Defaulting Party under this Agreement until the Non-Defaulting Party receives confirmation satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion that all obligations of the Defaulting Party to make any payments of any kind whatsoever to the Non-Defaulting Party or any of its Affiliates or otherwise which are due and payable as of the Early Termination Date have been fully and finally paid in cash.

6.1 Payments and Billings. All monthly payments and invoices shall be governed and will occur according to the CirclesX Terms of Use, unless otherwise specified herein. For the avoidance of doubt, payments for GCU Transactions shall occur online and provided to CirclesX for ultimate payment to the appropriate Party; provided, however, that payments associated with the early termination of a Transaction shall be invoiced and paid directly between the Parties. All payments shall be made in United States Dollars.

6.2 Disputes of Invoices. Payment terms and invoicing shall be done pursuant to the methods and procedures on the Terms of Use and credit card arrangements between the Parties and CirclesX. A Party may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any credit and/or debit memos related to this Agreement within ten (10) days of the date that the invoice was rendered. In the event that any charge is disputed, payment of the undisputed portion shall be required to be made when due, with notice of the dispute given to the other Party and CirclesX in writing and stating the basis for the dispute. Payment of the disputed amount shall not be required until the dispute is resolved. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days of such resolution along with interest accrued at the Default Rate from and including the due date to but excluding the date paid. Any dispute with respect to an invoice is waived unless the other Party is notified in accordance with this Section within sixty (60) days after the applicable invoice is rendered.

BOTH PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST CIRCLESX RELATED TO ANY ACTION OR INACTION TO THE SELLER OR THE BUYER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW.

vii. Confidentiality.
