* the Network rests or relies on open-source software, and there is a risk that a person introduces weaknesses, bugs, viruses or other malicious code into the core infrastructural elements of the Network causing the system to lose or erase all or a portion of the Orbs Tokens used in connection with the Network; | ||
## 10. **Notifications concerning Blockchain Technology and Virtual Currency** | ||
* it is possible that the Network will not be used by a large number of external businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could impact the development of the Network and potential uses of Orbs Tokens. It is not possible to predict the success of any development efforts of any party; | ||
The Network is based on blockchain technology. Furthermore, the Network | ||
requires the use of a virtual currency, the Orbs Tokens, for certain | ||
aspects of its functionality. Without limitation, the Orbs Tokens are | ||
required for Developers to pay transaction fees to Guardians for | ||

In addition, participants in the Network’s security, governance and | ||
operations model, including Guardians and Token Holders, may utilize the | ||
Orbs Tokens in order to participate in the model by direct voting or | ||
delegating the vote associated with such Orbs Tokens, and may receive | ||
rewards in the form of Orbs Tokens for such activities, all in | ||
accordance with the then-applicable security governance and operations | ||
model. | ||
* the actual existence and performance of the Network is dependent on the collective actions of various participants in the Network, including, among others, Validators, Guardians and Token Holders. It is possible that the Network may not continue to exist and may not perform as expected if such parties cease their activities on the Network. No one, including the Subject Persons, can guarantee that such parties will continue to act or that the Network will continue exist or perform at the expected level; | ||
Accordingly, when using this Network, you should be aware of the | ||
following risks associated with virtual currency, including the Orbs | ||
Tokens, and blockchain-based software, including the Network: | ||
* you recognize that the Network is under development and may undergo significant changes over time and you acknowledge that any expectations regarding the form and functionality of the Network held by you may not be met upon release of the Network or any update thereto, for any number of reasons including a change in the design and implementation plans and execution of the implementation of the Network; | ||
- virtual currency is not legal tender, is not backed by the | ||
government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to | ||
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor | ||
Protection Corporation protections or similar laws in any | ||
jurisdiction; | ||
* the state of cryptocurrency can advance over time and advances in code cracking, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to the Orbs Tokens and the Network, which could result in the theft or loss of Orbs Tokens. To the extent possible, participants in the Network may attempt to update the protocol underlying the Network to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures, but the future of cryptography cannot be predicted and there can be no guarantee that any security updates will be made in a timely or successful manner; | ||
- legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, | ||
or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, | ||
exchange, and value of virtual currency; | ||
* as with other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain used for the Network is susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, “Selfish-mining” attacks or race condition attacks and any successful attacks present a risk to the Network, expected proper execution and sequencing of transactions in Orbs Tokens, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations. Despite the efforts of participants in the Network, including Validators and Guardians, known or novel mining attacks may be successful. | ||
- transactions in virtual currency are generally irreversible, and, | ||
accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions | ||
may not be recoverable; | ||
* if the Network is rapidly adopted, the demand for Orbs Tokens could rise dramatically and at a pace that exceeds the rate with which new Orbs Tokens are released from reserves or otherwise become available for use. Under such a scenario, the entire Network could become destabilized, due to the increased cost of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest in the Network and Orbs Tokens. Instability in the demand for Orbs Tokens may lead to a negative change of the economical parameters of an Orbs Token-based business which could result in the business being unable to continue to operate economically or to cease operation. | ||
- some virtual currency transactions shall be deemed to be made when | ||
recorded on a “block chain” ledger, which is not necessarily the | ||
date or time that the customer initiates the transaction; | ||
* if the Network is rapidly adopted, the demand for transaction processing and distributed application computations could rise dramatically and at a pace that exceeds the rate with which Validators can bring online additional computing power. Under such a scenario, the entire Network could become destabilized, due to the increased cost of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest in the Network and the Orbs Tokens. Insufficiency of computational resources and an associated rise in the price of Orbs Tokens could result in businesses being unable to acquire scarce computational resources to run their applications. | ||
- the value of virtual currency is derived from the continued | ||
willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for | ||
virtual currency, which may result in the potential for permanent | ||
and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency should | ||
the market for that virtual currency disappear; | ||
* It is possible that alternative which utilize the same open-source source code and open source protocol underlying the Network could be established. The Network may compete with these alternative networks, which could potentially negatively impact the Network and the Orbs Tokens; and | ||
- there is no assurance that a person who accepts a virtual currency | ||
as payment today will continue to do so in the future; | ||
* the Network could be impacted in whole or in part by one or more regulatory or governmental inquiries or actions, which could impede, limit or restrict the use or transfer of Orbs Tokens or otherwise result in the complete or partial loss in value of Orbs Tokens. | ||
- the volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currency | ||
relative to fiat currency may result in significant loss or tax | ||
liability over a short period of time; | ||
You hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) you are accepting and using the Network and the Orbs tokens at your sole risk and expense; (ii) you have an adequate understanding of the risks, usage and intricacies of cryptographic tokens such as the Orbs tokens and blockchain-based software such as the Network, including the risks set forth above; (iii) any and all Subject Persons shall have no responsibility or liability for the loss, transfer, misappropriation, theft, use or misuse of any Orbs Tokens, including as utilized in connection with the Network, or any financial or physical harm or loss related thereto, and you hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights and claims with respect thereto and claims with respect thereto, (iv) you will comply with any and all applicable rules and laws regarding your use of Orbs Tokens, including in connection with the Network and (vi) the Subject Persons not endorse or recommend the use of any software or hardware wallet services and/or market exchanges (including any over-the-counter market) in connection with any storage, transfer or other transaction related to Orbs Tokens, all of which may be used at your sole risk and expense. | ||

# Exhibit A | ||
## Declaration of Guardians | ||
In registering to become eligible to serve as a Guardian and operate a | ||
validator node on the Orbs Network, I \[we\] hereby declare to all other | ||
participants in the Orbs Network, that for so long as I serve as a | ||
Guardian I \[we\] will be committed to the security, governance and | ||
operation procedures of the Orbs network. | ||
- <u>Model</u>. I am familiar with the roles of different agents | ||
active in the Orbs network –Guardians and Delegators – as described | ||
at https://www.orbs.com/orbs-pos-universe/ (the “<u>Model</u>”) | ||
and the responsibilities of each role and the procedures connected | ||
with each role. I accept the principles of the Model and intend to | ||
cooperate with the other participants in the Orbs Network in | ||
accordance with the Model. | ||

intend to operate an Orbs Guardian node to ensure that the rules of | ||
the Orbs Protocol are followed with respect to all transactions on | ||
the Orbs network. I \[we\] further agree to comply with the Orbs | ||
Network Terms of Use located at | ||

amount of computational resources to operate such virtual chains. | ||
- <u>Virtual Chains</u>. I \[we\] will assist in the creation of | ||
virtual chains to support fee-paying applications interested in | ||
running on Orbs. | ||
- <u>Non-Discrimination</u>. I \[we\] will enforce the rules of the | ||
Orbs Protocol equally to all users, domains and transactions. My | ||
\[our\] validation services shall not discriminate between | ||
transactions or blocks based on any parameter that is not relevant | ||
to the operation of each virtual chain or for any reason that is | ||
extraneous to the Orbs Protocol. | ||
- <u>Uptime/Liveness</u>. I \[we\] will ensure that my \[our\] | ||
Guardian node will be available 99.9% of the time, provided that I | ||
\[we\] shall be permitted to have planned downtime of up to 5 hours | ||
per month. To the best of my \[our\] abilities, planned maintenance | ||
will be coordinated with other Guardians to minimize the impact of | ||
such downtime. | ||
- <u>Connectivity</u>. I \[we\] will provision resources to ensure | ||
proper bandwidth and low latency of connectivity with other nodes | ||
and will maintain the required communication routes, ports and | ||
endpoints. | ||
- <u>Upgrade Process</u>. I \[we\] will participate in the protocol | ||
upgrade process by diligently reviewing all proposed upgrades and | ||
confirming or rejecting such upgrades according to the best | ||
interests of the Orbs Network and all participants therein. | ||
- <u>Updated Protocol</u>. I \[we\] will run software that complies | ||
with the most recent version of the Orbs Protocol, as accepted under | ||
the then-applicable governance procedures of the Orbs Network. | ||
- <u>Security Upgrades</u>. I \[we\] will address all critical and | ||
security upgrades in an immediate fashion, providing the necessary | ||
resources to ensure the security of the Orbs Network. | ||
- <u>Security Best Practices</u>. I am \[we are\] aware of the | ||
security implications of operating a Guardian node on the Orbs | ||
Network, including physical security, private keys and credentials | ||
storage and use cloud services security, server, operating system | ||
and application hardening and intend to act in a manner consistent | ||
with industry best practices to ensure the secure operation of the | ||
Guardian node. | ||
- <u>Rewards</u>. I am \[we are\] familiar with the terms of the Orbs | ||
Universe Reward Plan as may be in effect from time to time (the | ||
“<u>Reward Plan</u>”) and accept and am \[are\] willing to | ||
participate and be eligible for the Guardian rewards as set forth in | ||
the Plan in accordance with the terms thereof. | ||
- <u>Terms</u>: I \[we\] acknowledge and agree that all use of, access | ||
to and activities on the Network are subject to the Orbs Network | ||
Terms of Use, as may be in effect from time to time. | ||
- <u>Liability</u>. I \[we\] acknowledge and agree to the limitations | ||
of the liability of any and all entities and persons who created | ||
and/or initially distributed Orbs Tokens or were otherwise involved | ||
in the creation of the Orbs Network that are set forth in the Orbs | ||
Network Terms of use. I \[we\] acknowledge and agree the terms of | ||
liability set forth in the Orbs Network Terms of Use. | ||
- <u>Non-Derogation</u>. I will not take any malicious action, whether | ||
on the Network or outside of it and will not disparage the Orbs | ||
Network or the other parties participating in the Orbs Network in | ||
good faith. |
