2. Procedures. Upon receipt of notice from the Borrower to the Lender indicating Borrower’s intent to either buy or sell bitcoin, the Lender shall make an advance to the Borrower under the Line of Credit in an amount equal to the Maximum Credit Limit. In the event the Borrower intends to purchase bitcoin, the Lender will credit the Borrower’s Exchange Account immediately available funds in US Dollars in an amount equivalent to the Maximum Credit Limit. In the event the Borrower intends to sell bitcoin, the Lender will credit the Borrower’s Exchange Account immediately available bitcoin in an amount equivalent to the US Dollar Maximum Credit Limit.
