ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

This ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 30, 2024, by and among SMC Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), ChainTrade, Ltd., a United Kingdom company (“ChainTrade”), and the Shareholders of ChainTrade identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Annex A attached hereto.

WHEREAS, all of the authorized Shares in ChainTrade (the “ChainTrade Shares”) are issued and outstanding, and all of which are held by the undersigned Shareholders.

WHEREAS, the Shareholders have agreed to sell all of assets owned by ChainTrade (the “ChainTrade Assets”) as detailed on Exhibit A, to the Company in exchange for the issuance to ChainTrade of a promissory note in the principal amount of $8,000,000 (the “Note”), carrying 5% interest, which is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1 per share, attached hereto as Exhibit B, (the “Note”) and b) $500,000 to be paid over the next 18 months, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Acquisition”).

WHEREAS, the Acquisition is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or such other tax free reorganization or restructuring provisions as may be available under the Code.

WHEREAS, both the board of directors of the Company and of ChainTrade have each determined that it is desirable and in the best interests of the Shareholders of their respective companies to affect the Acquisition, which, upon the Closing Date, will cause all of the ChainTrade Assets to be owned by the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CONSIDERATION

1.1. Exchange by the Shareholders. At the Closing, ChainTrade shall exchange all of the ChainTrade Assets, detailed herein on Exhibit Afor the Note.

Working Capital. ChainTrade shall receive a total of $500,000 in working capital (“Working Capital”), paid in tranches over 18 months (each a “Tranche”). The first Tranche of $30,000 shall be paid on the Closing Date to be set within 5 Business days of the execution of this Agreement, and each subsequent Tranche of $30,000 shall be paid every 45 days thereafter until a total of $500,000 is paid. If the Company is late paying any Tranche to ChainTrade, a penalty of 10% will be added to the balance owed for that Tranche, following a 15 day grace period (the “Grace Period”). If the Company fails to pay ChainTrade any Tranche due during the Grace Period, then on the 75^th day, ChainTrade reserves the right to suspend operations of the platform until the past due Tranche is paid. In the event that the Company fails to pay any past due amount by the 90^th day, this Agreement, would be considered in default and the remaining balance owed for Working Capital will be due in full, plus an additional 10% penalty.

1.2. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the offices of the Company or electronically, commencing upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions and obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions and obligations with respect to the actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).

EIGHT PERCENT (8%) CONVERTIBLE NOTE

DATED May 30, 2024

THIS NOTE (the "Note") is a duly authorized Convertible Note of SMC Entertainment, Inc. a Nevada corporation, with an address of 9170 Glades Road, Suite 150, Boca Raton, Florida, 33434 (the "Company").

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay ChainTrade, Ltd, (the "Holder"), with an address of 27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC 1N 3AX, United Kingdom the principal sum of Eight Million Dollars and No Cents ($8,000,000) (the "Principal Amount"), on November 30, 2025 ("Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate equal to five percent (5%) per Annum (the "Interest Rate") from the date of issuance.

1) Accrual of Interest shall start on the date of this Note at the Interest Rate and continue until the Company repays in full the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest. Upon an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all interest due shall be payable in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. Absent any Event of Default, the Company shall pay the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, plus all accrued but unpaid Interest, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

1

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

2) All payments on account of the outstanding Principal Amount and Interest on this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made in cash, free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called "Taxes"). The Company may, at its sole discretion, prepay all or a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid Interest on this Note, at any time, without penalty.

3) Subject to the ownership limitations set forth in Section 12 below, the Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time and from time to time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a fixed conversion price per share equal to One Dollar ($1.00) (the "Conversion Price"). The Common stock into which the Note is converted shall be referred to in this Note as ("Conversion Shares"). The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by delivering a conversion notice, the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit A ("Conversion Notice"), executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder's intention to convert the Note. The Holder shall bear any transfer agent fees, and the Holder shall pay all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion (or Section 4(a)(1) legal opinion, if applicable, as well as equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Holder's option, any accrued costs paid by Holder may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note.

The Company will not issue fractional shares or script representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission, email, or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. At the Maturity Date, subject to Section 13 below, the Company will pay any unconverted outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid Interest thereon, at the option of the Holder, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

2

4) No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest at the Maturity Date in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pan passu with the Note in all respects.

5) If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Company’s Common Stock is subject to a reverse split, it is expressly understood that this Note shall not be affected. For clarification, any shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder (whether Conversion Shares, or otherwise) on the effective date of a reverse stock split shall be treated like any other shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock on the effective date (shall be split in the same ratio as all shares of Common Stock), but the unconverted Principal Amount and unconverted accrued and unpaid Interest shall not be reduced.

6) This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts of the State of Nevada residing in Clark County in connection with any dispute arising under this Note, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

7) The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

a. The Company shall default in the payment of the Principal Amount and/or Interest on this Note when due, and same shall continue for a period of ten (10) days; or

b. Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

c. The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of this Note and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or

3

d. The Company shall fail to authorize its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock, within ten (10) days of receiving a Notice of Conversion from the Holder, if such conversion is in accordance with the terms of this Note, and otherwise lawful; or

e. The Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or

f. A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

g. Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

(60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

i. The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted from an exchange or over-the-counter market from trading for in excess of fifteen (15) trading days or shall fail to remain current with its financial filings, if such filings are not brought current within fifteen trading days.

k. The Company effects, or attempts to effect, a reorganization similar in structure to that provided in Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and shall not be withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution.

l. Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within fifteen (15) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

4

8) If one or more of the "Events of Default" as described above shall occur, then (a) the Rate shall increase to eight percent (8%), calculated from the date of such Default, and (b) the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, excluding reasonable attorney's fees, which the Holder may incur in collecting any amount due under, or enforcing any terms of, this Note.

11) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reserve at least the number of shares of its Common Stock for issuance to Holder in connection with conversion of this Note.

Unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.

5

13) Maximum Rate.

If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

14) Registration Rights. The Company shall, within 18 months from the date of this Note, use its best efforts to file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-1. If, in lieu of selling Conversion Shares using the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 or otherwise, the Holder elects to convert all or a portion of the remaining Principal Amount or accrued but unpaid Interest into shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall include those Conversion Shares which are owned by the Holder prior to filing the S-1, as resale shares. For clarification, any Conversion Shares already sold or transferred by the Holder prior to the filing of the S-1 shall not be included as resale shares.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Convertible Promissory Note issued to ChainTrade, Ltd to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first written above.

SMC ENTERTAINMENT, INC. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of the 25th day of June 2024, is entered by and between SMC ENTERTAINMENT, INC., (the “Company” or “SMCE”), a publicly traded Nevada corporation, and PAUL (PREM) COUTURE (the “Employee”). The Company and Employee may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Employee is the Chief Executive Officer of ChainTrade, and Red Matter Capital, and possesses substantial knowledge and experience in Fintech development and DeFi applications; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to procure the services of the Employee as its CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER and the Employee desires to provide such services to the Company, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ the Employee as the CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER and the Employee accepts the employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. During the Employment Term and any Renewal Terms, as those terms are hereinafter defined, the Employee shall devote his best efforts, knowledge and skill. The Employee will have the rights, duties and obligations customarily associated with the position of CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER of a comparably sized business and will report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company.

2. Term of Employment; Renewals; Termination.

2.1 Term. The employment hereunder shall commence on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and shall continue until the end of the Employment Term, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The “Employment Term” shall mean the period commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing until the 1st anniversary of the Commencement Date.

2.2 Contingent Renewal upon Expiration of Employment Term. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Employment Term, the Company and the Employee shall review the terms of employment and the Company shall provide the Employee with the terms upon which the employment may be renewed or with a notice of non-renewal.

1

2.3 Termination For Cause. The employment of the Employee may be terminated by the Company at any time for Cause. For purposes of the Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (i) the occurrence of a breach of any material covenant contained in the Agreement by the Employee and the failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following Employee’s receipt of written notice with respect thereof; or (ii) Employee’s willful malfeasance, gross negligence or gross or willful misconduct in the performance of her duties hereunder after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Employee specifying the basis of such neglect and the failure of the Employee to correct such neglect; or (iii) the Employee’s theft or embezzlement from the Company; or (iv) the Employee’s conviction of a felony under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States; or (v) a final order by the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to the Employee that could reasonably be expected to impair or impede the Employee from performing the functions and duties contemplated by the agreement.

2.4 Termination upon Death or Disability. The Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of the Employee’s death or Permanent Disability. “Permanent Disability” is defined as physical or mental incapacity resulting in the absence from or inability to properly perform her duties hereunder (as determined by the Company) on a full-time basis of the Employee for ninety (90) consecutive days, provided the Employee has met the requirements to receive benefits under any long term disability policy then maintained by the Company and applicable to the Employee. Returns to work for periods of less than one (1) week shall not toll the passing of the time required to establish Permanent Disability hereunder. In the event of termination due to death or Permanent Disability, the Company shall continue to pay the Employee’s Base Salary (defined below) for twelve (12) months following such termination, but the Employee shall be entitled to no other compensation or benefits, other than those which have fully vested.

2.5 Termination By Employee For Good Reason. The Employee may terminate the Agreement for either (A) a failure on the part of the Company to make timely payment of Employee’s Base Salary during the term of the Agreement; or (B) failure or refusal of a successor or assignee of the Company to assume and perform the Agreement; or (C) any breach by the Company of any of its undertakings in the Agreement; or (D) a material diminution by the Company during the term of the Agreement of Employee’s duties or responsibilities. Any of the foregoing causes are referred to in the Agreement as “Good Reason”.

2.6 Compensation upon Termination For Cause. In the event that the Employee’s employment is terminated for Cause pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the Employee, or his legal representatives, as the case may be, any unpaid portion of his Base Salary at the rate herein provided, which would have been earned had the Employee remained in the employment of the Company until the effective date of such termination. If the Employee terminates his employment with the Company other than for Good Reason, the Employee will thereby forfeit all compensation, benefits and financial obligations owed by the Company under the Agreement, except that Base Salary will be paid through the date of termination of employment by the Employee without Good Reason.

2.7. Compensation upon Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason, then the Company shall continue to pay his Base Salary (defined below) and health insurance, if provided through the Company (provided he makes an appropriate COBRA election) for the remainder of the Employment Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, in accordance with the Company’s then-current payroll practices, and a pro-rated portion of any discretionary bonus awarded to the Employee for the year in which Termination occurs, but the Employee shall be entitled to no other compensation or benefits.

2

3. Compensation.

3.1 Base Salary. The Employee shall receive a base salary of $7,500 per month payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies in effect.

3.2 Benefits. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s then current health insurance plan, when available, with family coverage, subject to the terms of that plan, on the same basis as the Company’s other employees. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s employee stock ownership (“ESOP”) plan or Stock Incentive Plan, when available, consistent with that provided to other employees of the Company.

3.3 Vacation. The Employee shall be entitled to such number of paid vacation days as shall be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Accumulated but unused vacation time may be carried over from year to year.

3.4 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Employee during the Employment Term in the performance of his services.
