RE: Letter of Intent

Dear Mr. Kwong:

Avant Technologies, Inc., a Nevada company traded on OTC QB under the symbol "AVAI" and fully reporting with the SEC ("AVAI" or "the Company"), is pleased to submit this binding letter of intent ("LOI") between AVAI and Flow Wave, LLC ("FW"), subject to each party's formal board of directors' and shareholders' approval, with respect to a proposed purchase of up to 50 fully developed supercomputer servers ("Assets"), quantity dependent on requested configuration. This LOI is binding for up to six (6) months following its execution by both parties.

This binding LOI is to acquire 100% of these Assets. AVAI will be obligated to pay FW a total of $50,000,000 in cash as secured by a $50,000,000 promissory note payable by AVAI to FW in six even monthly payments, bearing interest of five percent (5%) per annum accrued monthly (0.42% per month on the outstanding principal balance) with said payments commencing upon the Company successfully completing a minimum raise of $20,000,000. AVAI will have six (6) months to make full cash payment (plus interest) to FW, post capital raise. In the event AVAI fails to make full cash payment to FW within six months post capital raise, any related definitive Agreement executed by both parties shall become null and void. AVAI will return title and server equipment back to FW, in exchange for all payments made by AVAI to FW. As a result of the above at closing, the Assets shall become a 100% owned by AVAI.

Preliminary Timeline:

The proposed terms and conditions of the Transaction are described below. This LOI is binding, and the proposed Transaction is subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence by AVAI and the execution and delivery by the Parties of a Definitive Agreement for the Transaction satisfactory to all Parties, which terms will be based on this LOI (the "Definitive Agreement").

Once the Definitive Agreement is executed then the parties will submit the required filings including a registration statement and proxy statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Proposed Terms and Conditions of Transaction

Timing

This LOI and the proposed terms of the Transaction are based on AVAI's analysis of the limited information made available to it. AVAI has not conducted any substantive business, legal, financial, tax, regulatory or other technical due diligence to date. However, subject only to prompt satisfaction of our due diligence requests and a customary negotiation process, AVAI is certain that it can complete its due diligence and enter into a Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Price

Based on the information available to AVAI at this time, and subject to completion of due diligence by AVAI and its advisors satisfactory to AVAI, in its sole discretion, the total maximum purchase price for the assets will be $50 million in cash.

Definitive Agreement

The Definitive Agreement will include (i) representations, warranties, and covenants to be agreed upon by the Parties, and (ii) other terms and conditions customary for transactions similar to this Transaction.

Holders of the requisite number of shares of FW, required to approve the Transaction will deliver a written consent approving the Transaction promptly following the execution of the Definitive Agreement. If written consent cannot be provided immediately following the execution of the Definitive Agreement because a registration statement is utilized, FW will instead deliver voting agreements from the requisite number of shares of FW required to approve the Transaction.

The conditions to Closing in the Definitive Agreement will include (but not be limited to):

(i)the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and specified material third-party approvals;

(ii)the approval of the Transaction by the stockholders of AVAI;

(iii)the bring-down at the Closing of representations and warranties and covenants of FW to a customary standard;

(iv)no material adverse change having occurred with respect to FW; and

(v)other customary Closing conditions or Closing conditions that are identified in the course of due diligence.
