  4. Business Model & Monetization • Cyclical Revenue Model Opportunity for Immediate Monetization Implementation Contract: Charge pilot state - NC (and successive partner states) a platform development, implementation, and training fee commensurate with comparable IT system implementations Transaction Fees: Extract minimal transaction fee from state (<$1) every time a new record (claim, new job offer, etc.) is written to the chain by an employer - in this model, states could receive direct reimbursement from companies, or pay fees with admin $ saved by program Ongoing Services: Receive revenue from ongoing maintenance of state systems, training/consulting on Benechain updates, and eventual move to 100% blockchain solution *Assumes base fee of $.50 per transaction, 200,000 initial claims filed per year (recent NC avg.), 50% of term. employees assuming new roles within year

  5. Next Steps & Future Applications • Next Steps (next 1-2 Years) • Secure contract with state of North Carolina to build hybrid blockchain/database system & continue to refine platform technology and capabilities • Onboard North Carolina platform and train state employees to use system and communicate new requirements to companies employing people in the state • Begin writing and storing employment and unemployment records using Benechain • Begin formalized contractual process with additional state employment agencies in the South East A B C D 2017 2018 2019 • Additional Application Opportunities (at least 3-5 years away) • Fed Coin Currency: Champion implementation of proposed currency to interact with Benechain applications • Food Stamps: Provide better method of managing and distributing nutritional benefits through blockchain • Social Security: Expand blockchain solutions to additional benefit programs at the national level like SS
