ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF CUSTODY ACCOUNTS AND APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN

Custody Accounts. The Client authorizes, approves and directs the Custodian to establish and maintain on its books, in the name of the Client as the entitlement holder, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement the following accounts, and Custodian agrees to act as custodian of Client’s assets held in such accounts subject to the provisions of this Agreement:

one or more custody accounts for the receipt, safekeeping and maintenance of Eligible Assets (each a “Digital Asset Custody Account”); and

one or more cash accounts (each a “Cash Custody Account”, and, together with the Digital Asset Custody Accounts, the “Custody Account”), each corresponding to a Digital Asset Custody Account, to hold cash and monies received for deposit for the account of the Client (“Cash”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Financial Asset Election. The Parties agree that all property credited to the Custody Accounts, including all Cash, will be treated as “financial assets” under Article 8 of the UCC, the Custodian will be acting as “securities intermediary” in maintaining the Custody Accounts within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and the Hague Securities Convention, and the Custody Accounts will constitute “securities accounts” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and the Hague Securities Convention with respect to all property credited thereto.

Asset Segregation.

Cash

Digital Assets

Digital Assets in the Digital Asset Custody Account will be held through an omnibus wallet structure, along with the Digital Assets of other customers of the Custodian (an “Omnibus Wallet”). The Client agrees that the Digital Assets that are transferred by the Client or by or on behalf of Authorized Participants to the Custodian or acquired by the Client through Trade Orders (“Client Digital Assets”) will be treated as fungible with those Digital Assets of other clients of the Custodian that are based on the same cryptographic protocol or consensus rules of a computer network (subject to Custodian’s Policy Statement on Forks) that are also held in the Omnibus Wallet by the Custodian on behalf of such other clients, provided that the records of the Custodian shall record ownership of such Digital Assets as set forth in Section 2.E hereof. The Client acknowledges that the redelivery rights of the Client in respect of the Client Digital Assets are not necessarily for the same Digital Assets as the Client Digital Assets (or addresses or accounts that are associated with the Client Digital Asset), but rather will be in respect of an equal amount of Digital Assets that are based on the same cryptographic protocol or consensus rules of a computer network (subject to Custodian’s Policy Statement on Forks) as the Client Digital Asset. The Custodian will manage all associated private keys on behalf of the Client, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

A substantial portion of the Digital Assets held for clients in the Omnibus Wallet will be held within an offline storage system used by the Custodian in connection with the storage or maintenance of the Digital Assets.

Acceptance and Holding of Assets. The Custodian will determine in its sole discretion whether to accept Assets of any kind for custody in the Custody Account. If the Custodian determines in its sole discretion that, due to legal, regulatory, operational, security or reputational risk, an Asset currently held in custody is no longer an Eligible Asset (“Ineligibility Determination”), the Custodian shall (i) deliver the Client written notice of such Ineligibility Determination, (ii) provide no other services with respect to any such Asset (except with respect to Digital Assets to be delivered pursuant to a Creation Order submitted by and Authorized Participant and approved in accordance with the provisions of the Authorized Participant Agreement before the determination by the Custodian that such Assets are no longer Eligible Assets), except for Digital Asset Debit Requests and the services described in this Section 2, following such Ineligibility Determination and (iii) within 60 Business Days, or if that is not reasonably practicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable, of the delivery of the Ineligibility Determination, Deliver Digital Assets that are of the same type as the Client Digital Assets (as set forth in Section 2.C.i) in the amount of the Digital Assets subject to the Ineligibility Determination.

Designation of Assets. The Custodian shall on its books and records segregate all Digital Assets from the proprietary property of the Custodian; provided that the Custodian may maintain in the Omnibus Wallet an amount of proprietary Digital Assets that are used for operational or other purposes. The ownership of all of the Client’s Assets shall be clearly recorded in the Custodian’s books and records as belonging to the Client. Without the consent of the Client, the Custodian will not lend, pledge or hypothecate any Client Digital Assets.

Status of Custodian. The Custodian is a limited liability company and shall be agent or principal with respect to any actions taken by the Custodian with respect to the purchase and sale services pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, subject to Section 12.C.vii.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Custodian maintains a comprehensive business continuity and disaster recovery program designed to prevent Client’s Digital Assets from becoming inaccessible due to a significant business interruption, including unplanned downtime or the general unavailability of any data centers used to provide the services.

TRANSFER OF ASSETS

Credits to the Digital Asset Custody Account.: Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the procedures agreed to by the Parties, Custodian will receive from Client or by or on behalf of Authorized Participants or by agents of Client, Eligible Assets (“Digital Asset Credit Request”). Such Eligible Assets shall be delivered within the time period specified by the Custodian at the recipient address specified by the Custodian to the Client (or at an address previously specified by the Custodian to the Client and not subsequently identified to the Client as invalid), subject to successful completion of the Custodian’s screening procedures, and shall be credited to the Digital Asset Custody Account upon Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed to between the Parties, Client (or another party on behalf of Client) shall send the Custodian the applicable Proper Instructions in accordance with Section 5.B hereof.

The Custodian shall monitor associated nodes, as determined to be necessary by the Custodian in its sole discretion, for incoming transactions. The Custodian shall advise the Client of Eligible Assets availability after Eligible Assets have been Delivered to the Digital Asset Custody Account.

Debits to the Digital Asset Custody Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, from time to time the Client, directly or through agents, shall instruct the Custodian to Deliver Eligible Assets from the Digital Asset Custody Account to one or more addresses. Such instructions shall be in the form of Proper Instructions in accordance with Section 5.B hereof or such other procedures agreed upon by the Parties (a Digital Asset Debit Request”).

The Custodian, upon receiving a verified Digital Asset Debit Request, will initiate the transfer and broadcast the Digital Asset Debit Requests to the blockchain supporting the relevant Eligible Asset at the recipient address specified by or on behalf of the Client to Custodian (or at an address previously specified by or on behalf of the Client to the Custodian and not subsequently identified to the Custodian as invalid) within the time period agreed to between the Parties, subject to successful completion of the Custodian’s screening procedures.

The Custodian shall provide the Client with a confirmation of a pending debit transaction. Within the three (3) hours immediately following receipt of such confirmation, the Client may notify the Custodian to query or halt the transaction.

If the Custodian has received a Digital Asset Debit Request that would result in the transfer of Assets from the Custody Account exceeding the credit to the Custody Account for that Asset, the Custodian may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reject such Instructions or decide which deliveries it will make (in whole or in part and in the order it selects).

Request for Additional Information. The Client shall promptly provide to the Custodian such additional information as the Custodian may request regarding the source or ownership of the Eligible Assets that are subject to a Digital Asset Credit Request or the recipient of Eligible Assets (and any associated financial institution) that are the subject of a Digital Asset Debit Request.

Credits to the Cash Custody Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Client may transfer Cash into the Client’s Cash Custody Account from a third-party bank account or a third party by sending the Custodian the applicable Proper Instructions in accordance with Section 5.B (a “Cash Credit Request”).

The Custodian, upon receiving the Cash Credit Request and verifying that such request complies with Section 5.B, will complete any transfer to the Cash Custody Account within the time period agreed to between the Parties. Transfers to the Cash Custody Account are subject to fees specified in the Fee Schedule.

Debits to the Cash Custody Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Client may transfer Cash from the Cash Custody Account to an account at a third-party bank established and maintained in the name of the Client or in the name of a third party in connection with the Client’s purchase of Digital Assets by sending the Custodian the applicable Proper Instructions in accordance with Section 5.B (a “Cash Debit Request”).

The Custodian, upon receiving the Cash Debit Request and verifying that such request complies with Section 5.B, will complete any transfer from the Cash Custody Account within the time period agreed to between the Parties. Transfers from the Cash Custody Account are subject to fees specified in the Fee Schedule.

Such transfer may only be effected via wire transfer.

Purpose of Transfer of Cash. Unless otherwise approved by the Custodian in advance of a transfer, any transfer of Cash to or from the Client’s Cash Custody Account requested by the Client pursuant to this Agreement shall be solely for the purpose of the settlement of transactions that are the subject of the Client’s Digital Asset Credit Request or Digital Asset Debit Request or, to transfer Cash to an account at a third-party bank established and maintained in the name of the Client =.

Investment in and Transfer of Assets. The Client shall bear the sole risk and expense associated with investing, transferring or otherwise transacting in respect of Digital Assets held in the Digital Asset Custody Account pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement).

Transaction Limits. The Custodian may, for risk management or other reasons, impose limits on the number or size, or both, of transactions processed for the Client under this Section 3.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF DIGITAL ASSETS

Role of Custodian. The Custodian may purchase any Digital Assets constituting Eligible Assets from the Client or sell any such Digital Assets to the Client upon receipt of a sale or purchase order in the form of Proper Instructions from the Client (“Trade Orders”).

Execution and Order Fulfillment. The Custodian will execute and fulfill the Client’s Trade Orders in accordance with the procedures in effect for its trade execution service, as such terms and procedures may be modified by the Custodian from time to time. THE CUSTODIAN’S EXECUTION AND SETTLEMENT OF TRADE ORDERS IS SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE LIQUIDITY AND MARKET CONDITIONS GENERALLY. THE CUSTODIAN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL OR REJECT ANY TRADE ORDER, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR ANY REASON.

Upon completion of any purchase of Eligible Asset by Custodian on behalf of the Client, the Custodian shall credit such Eligible Assets to the Digital Asset Custody Account promptly.

INSTRUCTIONS

Authorized Persons and Sponsor. The Persons identified as “Authorized Persons” on the Firm Authorized User Form(s) completed by the Client or the Sponsor shall, subject to approval by the Custodian, be authorized to act on behalf of the Client in the performance of those acts or duties specified for each such person from time to time in the Firm Authorized User Form(s) (“Authorized Persons”). The Client, or Sponsor acting on behalf of the Client, may, from time to time, add to or remove names from the list of Authorized Persons maintained by the Custodian, or change the authorizations granted to any Authorized Person, by delivery of a new or revised Firm Authorized User Form to the Custodian. If at any time there are no Authorized Persons designated by the Client or the Sponsor, the president/chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor shall be deemed Authorized Persons hereunder.

Proper Instructions.

“Proper Instructions” mean:

With respect to Digital Assets Debit Requests or Cash Debit Requests, an Authenticated Instruction delivered by an Authorized Person (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person) that is confirmed by an Authenticated Instruction from at least one additional Authorized Person (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person);

With respect to Digital Assets Credit Requests or Cash Credit Requests, an Authenticated Instruction delivered by an Authorized Person (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person);

With respect to Trade Orders, an Instruction delivered by an Authorized Person (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person) through the user interface specified by the Custodian to submit Trade Orders;

With respect to requests not involving the transfer of Assets from or to the Custody Account, an Instruction delivered by an Authorized Person (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person); and

Such other procedures as agreed to between the Parties in writing.

The Custodian may act upon and rely upon any Proper Instruction received from, or believed in good faith by the Custodian to be received from, an Authorized Person, that have been validated in accordance with procedures in place from time to time, unless or until the Custodian has (i) received written notice of any change thereto from the Client and (ii) had a reasonable time to note and implement such change. Validation procedures used by the Custodian are designed only to verify the source of the Instruction and not to detect errors in the content of that Instruction or to prevent duplicate Instructions. The Client agrees that the Custodian shall have no obligation to act in accordance with purported Instructions to the extent that they conflict with applicable Law. The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from a delay while it obtains clarification of any Proper Instructions. The Client agrees that the Custodian is not responsible for any errors made by the Client, any errors resulting, directly or indirectly, from fraud or the duplication of any Instruction by the Client, or any losses resulting from the malfunctioning of any devices used by the Client or any Authorized Person or loss or compromise of credentials used by the Client or any Authorized Person to deliver Instructions.

Rejection of Instruction. The Custodian may reject or decide, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to act on any Instruction to transfer Eligible Assets (i) based on the Custodian’s applicable policies and procedures, including the results of the Custodian’s transaction monitoring and screening procedures, (ii) where it reasonably doubts such Instruction’s contents, authorization, origination or compliance with the Custodian’s policies and procedures, (iii) where it reasonably believes that acting on the Instruction could (a) require it to register or qualify as a regulated entity, (b) violate or facilitate the violation of any Law or (c) subject the Custodian to any financial or other liability for which it has not been provided adequate indemnification, and, in each case, the Custodian covenants to promptly notify the Client of its decision in such instance if permitted to do so by Law, or (iv) in order to give effect to transaction limits imposed in accordance with Section 3.H. In the event the Custodian shall receive conflicting Instructions from the Client or any Authorized Person, the Custodian shall be entitled, at its option, to refrain from taking action until such conflicting Instructions are reconciled to its reasonable satisfaction.

Responsibility for Instructions. The Client is responsible for any Instructions actually given to the Custodian or on which the Custodian is entitled to rely hereunder, whether or not properly authorized by the Client. The Custodian shall have no duty or responsibility to inquire into, make recommendations, or determine the suitability of any Instructions or transactions affecting the Custody Account.

Acknowledgment of Risk. The Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that the use of electronic communication systems to convey Instructions does not eliminate the risk of error and fraudulent activities or security and privacy issues.

English. Instructions are to be given in the English language only.

Cut-Off Times. The Custodian may act on Instructions only within applicable cut-off times specified by the Custodian from time to time on Business Days when the Custodian is open for business in the ordinary course (a “Cut-Off Time”).

Receive or Deliver any Assets, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement;

Carry out any action affecting Assets and the Custody Account, other than those specified in Sections 6.A.i or 6.B hereof; provided, however, that each instance shall be subject to the prior approval and agreement of the Custodian; and provided further, that all Instructions regarding Forked Digital Assets are subject to Section 8 of this Agreement; and

Transfer Assets in connection with the services described in Section 3.F.

Non-Discretionary Custodial Duties. Absent a contrary Instruction, the Custodian shall be permitted, and is hereby authorized and directed by Client to, and may authorize subcustodians or depositories to, carry out any of the following actions without any further Instructions or approval by or on behalf of Client:

Use of Third Parties.

Reporting. The Custodian will provide to Client monthly account statements identifying the Digital Assets in the Custody Account on a monthly basis and setting forth all transactions in the Custody Account during such month. Upon written request from the Sponsor, the Custodian will also provide copies of monthly account statements to the Sponsor. The Custodian shall deliver or make available to the Client the Custodian’s most recent Service Organization Control (SOC 1 and SOC 2) reports upon completion of such reports, and upon Client’s request on an annual basis.

Security of Assets. The Custodian may take such steps that it determines, in its sole discretion, may be necessary or advisable to inspect and protect the security of the Assets, the Custody Account or the Omnibus Wallet or enhance the Custodian’s ability to secure the Assets or the Omnibus Wallet, including cancelling, interrupting, terminating or suspending any or all of the Custodian’s services and operations hereunder and the Client’s access to the Custodian’s services and operations, to any Assets or to the Custody Accounts. The Custodian will notify the Client in writing as soon as reasonably practicable when a material change has been or will be made to its policies and procedures imposing new or modified requirements on the Client.

TAXATION

Client’s Tax Obligations. The Client shall, for all tax purposes, be treated as the owner of all Assets held by the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement. It is the Client’s sole responsibility to determine whether and to what extent Taxes and Tax reporting obligations may apply to the Client with respect to its Assets, Custody Accounts, and transactions, and the Client shall timely pay all such Taxes and shall file all returns, reports, and disclosures required by applicable Law.

Tax Information. Upon execution of this Agreement, as well as upon request of the Custodian, the Client will promptly provide the Custodian with all forms, certifications, documentation, representations and warranties and any other information as the Custodian may reasonably request (“Account Tax Documentation”), including a duly completed and executed W-9 or W-8 (both available at www.irs.gov), as applicable, as to the Client’s and/or the Client’s underlying beneficial owners’ tax status and/or residence. The Client warrants that, when given, such Account Tax Documentation is true, complete and correct. If any such Account Tax Documentation becomes inaccurate, incorrect or obsolete, the Client will notify the Custodian immediately and promptly provide updated Account Tax Documentation. The Client understands that the Custodian may disclose any information with respect to Client Assets, Custody Accounts and transactions required or requested by any applicable taxing authority or other governmental entity.

Payments; Indemnity. Custodian is authorized to deduct and/or withhold Taxes, including Taxes arising as a result of the Client’s failure to provide Account Tax Documentation pursuant to Section 7.B above, from Client’s Assets, Custody Account or cash or other property of the Client and remit such amounts to the relevant taxing authority. If any Taxes become payable with respect to any prior payment made to the Client by the Custodian, the Custodian may withhold any cash or other property of the Client held or received with respect to Client’s Assets, Custody Accounts or cash or other property in satisfaction of such prior Taxes. The Client shall remain liable for any Tax deficiency. If Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any payments made by the Client to Custodian, the Client will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that Custodian receives a net amount equal to the amount Custodian would have received absent such withholding or deduction. Without limiting Section 13 hereof, the Client shall indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against any and all liabilities, penalties, interest or additions to tax with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in, or failure by, the Custodian to pay, withhold or report any Taxes imposed on Client’s Assets, cash or other property.

DIGITAL ASSET FORKS

VALUE AND SUPPLY OF DIGITAL ASSETS; INSURANCE

VALUE FLUCTUATION. THE CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS AND ANY UNSUPPORTED FORKED DIGITAL ASSET CAN FLUCTUATE SUBSTANTIALLY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT OR TOTAL LOSS OF THE VALUE OF THE ASSETS HELD BY THE CUSTODIAN ON THE CLIENT’S BEHALF OR ANY UNSUPPORTED FORKED DIGITAL ASSET. THE CLIENT AGREES THAT THE CUSTODIAN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS IN VALUE OF THE ASSETS OR UNSUPPORTED FORKED DIGITAL ASSET AT ANY TIME.

SUPPLY OF DIGITAL ASSETS. THE SUPPLY OF DIGITAL ASSETS AVAILABLE TO THE CUSTODIAN TO PROVIDE TO THE CLIENT THROUGH TRADE ORDERS AND THE ABILITY OF THE CUSTODIAN TO DELIVER DIGITAL ASSETS DEPENDS ON THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CUSTODIAN’S CONTROL. THE CUSTODIAN DOES NOT OWN OR CONTROL ANY OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT ARE USED IN CONNECTION WITH DIGITAL ASSETS AND THEIR RELATED NETWORKS, INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM A FORK. ACCORDINGLY, THE CUSTODIAN DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO SUCH PROTOCOLS AND ANY CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF ANY DIGITAL ASSETS (WHETHER FORKED DIGITAL ASSETS OR NOT), ANY ELIGIBLE ASSETS, OR ANY ASSETS, AND MAKES NO GUARANTEES REGARDING THE SECURITY, FUNCTIONALITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF SUCH PROTOCOLS OR NETWORKS. THE CLIENT ACCEPTS ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES TO CONDUCT TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RISKS IN CONNECTION WITH THE FAILURE OF HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS.

INSURANCE. THE CLIENT ACCEPTS THAT DIGITAL ASSETS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROTECTIONS OR INSURANCE PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR THE SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION. IN ADDITION, ALTHOUGH THE CUSTODIAN MAY MAINTAIN INSURANCE FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS BUSINESS, THIS INSURANCE, IF MAINTAINED, IS SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CUSTODIAN AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR INSURE THE CLIENT IN ANY WAY.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DIGITAL ASSET RISKS

General Risks. The Client understands and acknowledges that investing in, buying, and selling Digital Assets presents a variety of risks that are not presented by investing in, buying, and selling products in other, more traditional asset classes. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Digital Assets are not legal tender, operate without central authority or banks, and are not backed by any government.

Digital Assets are a new technological innovation with a limited history and are a highly speculative asset class, and as such, have in the past experienced, and are likely in the future to continue to experience, high volatility, including periods of extreme volatility.

Digital Assets could become subject to Forks, and various types of cyberattacks, including but not limited to a “51% Attack” or a “Replay Attack,” as described in the Policy Statement on Forks.

Trading platforms on which Digital Assets are traded, including exchanges that may be used by the Custodian to fill Trade Orders, may stop operating or shut down due to fraud, technical problems, hackers or malware, and these trading platforms may be more susceptible to fraud and security breaches than established, regulated exchanges for other products.

The decentralized, open source protocol of the peer-to-peer computer network supporting a Digital Asset could be affected by internet disruptions, fraud or cybersecurity attacks, and such network may not be adequately maintained and protected by its participants.

Regulatory actions or policies may limit the ability to exchange a Digital Asset or utilize it for payments, and federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of Digital Assets.

It may be or in the future become illegal to acquire, own, sell, or use a Digital Asset in one or more countries, and the regulation of Digital Assets within and outside of the United States is still developing.

A Digital Asset could decline in popularity, acceptance or use, thereby impairing its price and liquidity.

Acknowledgement. The risks described in this Section 10 are just some of the risks presented by investing in, buying and selling Digital Assets, and the Client acknowledges that the Client is solely responsible for understanding and accepting the risks involved in investing in, buying, and selling Digital Assets, acknowledges that, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 12, the Custodian has no control or influence over such risks, and acknowledges that the Custodian shall not be liable for any loss in value of Digital Assets that occurs in connection, directly or indirectly, with these risks.

The Custodian makes no express or implied warranty, guarantee, or representation that the services offered by the Custodian under this Agreement satisfy any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to the custody of Client Assets. The Custodian shall have no liability whatsoever for, and the Client shall indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless against, any loss in value of the Assets held by the Custodian on the Client’s behalf and any other loss, expense, cost or liability of any kind incurred by the Custodian arising directly or indirectly out of the Client’s failure or alleged failure to comply with any Law, contract or operational requirements applicable to the Client, including, but not limited to, any Law applicable to the custody of Client Assets.

Custodian. The Custodian represents to the Client that the Custodian is (A) a New York State limited liability trust company authorized pursuant to Section 102-a of the New York Banking Law to engage in all activities described in Sections 96 and 100 of the New York Banking Law, with the exception of accepting deposits and making loans, and (B) a “bank” as defined in Section 202(a) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Standard of Care. The Custodian shall exercise the reasonable care of a professional custodian for hire.

Limitations on Liability and Losses.

In no event will the Custodian be responsible or liable for any loss, claim or damage suffered by the Client, except to the extent of any loss, claim or damage that directly resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Custodian. In such event, the liability of the Custodian will not exceed the lesser of (a) the replacement cost of any Assets and (b) the market value of the Assets (as determined by the Custodian) to which such loss or damage relates at the time the Client reasonably should have been aware of such gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. In the event of any loss sustained by the Client for which the Custodian is liable hereunder, the liability of the Custodian shall be reduced to the extent that the Client’s own conduct contributed to such loss.

The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss caused, directly or indirectly, by (a) the failure of the Client to adhere to the Custodian’s policies and procedures that have been disclosed to the Client, (b) a Force Majeure Event or (c) any action taken pursuant to Section 6.E (except with respect to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Custodian in connection with any action taken pursuant to Section 6.E.).

Under no circumstances will the Custodian be liable to the Client for (a) acting in accordance with or conclusively relying upon any Instruction that it believes in good faith to have been authorized by the Client or any Person acting on behalf of the Client, or (b) any indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive loss or damage, even if the Custodian has been advised of or otherwise might have anticipated the possibility of such loss or damage.

The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable to the Client for any loss caused, directly or indirectly, by (a) any failure or delay to act by any service provider (other than an Affiliated Agent as identified in Section 12.C.ii. below) to the Custodian or (b) any System Failure (other than a System Failure caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Custodian or the Custodian’s affiliates), that prevents the Custodian from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

Limitations on the Custodian’s Responsibility

General. The Custodian shall only be responsible for the performance of those duties as are expressly set forth herein, including acting in accordance with any Proper Instructions given in accordance with this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the terms by which the Custodian shall satisfy each of its duties under Article 8 of the UCC. The Custodian shall have no implied duties or other obligations whatsoever. The Custodian shall not be subject to, nor required to comply with, any other agreement to which the Client is a party.

No Liability for Third Parties. The Custodian, provided that the Custodian shall have acted in good faith and used reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of the third party and subject to clause iii below, is not responsible or liable for the acts, omissions, defaults, insolvency, negligence, gross negligence, misconduct or fraud of any third party selected by the Custodian to perform any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement, other than any Affiliated Agent. In addition, and subject to clause iii below, in no event shall the Custodian be liable for the acts, omissions, defaults, insolvency, negligence, gross negligence, misconduct or fraud of any other third party.

Sole Obligations of the Custodian. The Client understands and agrees that notwithstanding any delegation by the Custodian of any of its obligations and duties to any affiliate of the Custodian (defined as an “Affiliated Agent”), no such agreement with any Affiliated Agent shall discharge the Custodian from its obligations hereunder, and the rights of the Client with respect to the Custodian extend only to the Custodian and do not extend to any Affiliated Agent of the Custodian. The Client shall have no direct or indirect rights or causes of action against any Affiliated Agent, nor shall any Affiliated Agent have any responsibility or liability to any Client of the Custodian.

Performance Subject to Laws. The Client understands and agrees that the Custodian’s performance of this Agreement may be subject to relevant Laws and any rules, operating procedures, practices, and protocols related to Digital Assets, all of which may be subject to change. The Custodian may from time to time review and amend its policies and procedures or impose such additional policies and procedures as the Custodian, in its discretion, considers necessary or advisable due to change in any Law, including any Law related to Digital Assets.

Preventing of Performance. The Custodian will not be responsible for any failure to perform any of its obligations if such performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event, by changes in the Custodian’s policies or procedures made in the Custodian’s sole discretion in light of legal, regulatory, operational, security or reputational risks or after an Ineligibility Determination. In such case, the Custodian’s obligations will be suspended for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues or any change in the Custodian’s policies or procedures or Ineligibility Determination remains in effect.

Validity of Assets. The Custodian does not warrant or guarantee the form, authenticity, value or validity of any Asset received by the Custodian.

No Fiduciary Duties. The Custodian has no fiduciary duty to the Client in any respect, including with respect to the Assets held in the Custody Account under this Agreement (irrespective of whether an affiliate of the Custodian has provided other services or is currently providing other services to the Client on other matters).

Capacity of Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian is not acting as an investment manager or as a broker or dealer (as respectively defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), nor is it acting as an investment, financial, legal or tax adviser to the Client. This Agreement is an arm’s length, commercial transaction between the Client and the Custodian. The Custodian is not recommending that the Client take any investment or other action with respect to the Assets held in the Custody Account under this Agreement.

Forwarded Information; Contents of Documents. The Custodian is not responsible for the form, accuracy or content of any notice, circular, report, announcement or other material provided under Section 6.B.ii of this Agreement not prepared by the Custodian and the Custodian shall not be required to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report, or other document.

Security of Assets. Except for Custodian’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Client for any loss resulting from actions taken by the Custodian to inspect, protect or improve the security of the Client’s Assets pursuant to Section 6.E.

Conflicting Claims. In the event of any dispute or conflicting claims by any person or persons with respect to the Assets, the Custodian shall be entitled to refuse to act until either (a) such dispute or conflicting claim shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between conflicting parties, and the Custodian shall have received written evidence satisfactory to it of such determination or agreement or (b) the Custodian shall have received an indemnity, security or both, satisfactory to it and sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability and expense that the Custodian may incur as a result of its actions.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance. The Custodian shall have no obligation to review, monitor or otherwise ensure compliance by the Client or the Sponsor with (a) any Law applicable to the Client or the Sponsor or (b) any term or condition of any agreement between the Client and any third party, including the Sponsor.

Reliance on Written Items. The Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it in accordance with this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by an Authorized Person. The Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. The Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document.

Client Obligations.

All fees, expenses, charges and obligations incurred from time to time for any services pursuant to this Agreement as determined in accordance with the terms of the Fee Schedule as agreed to separately by the Parties which may be changed from time to time by the Custodian upon prior written notice to the Client or the Sponsor, together with any other amounts payable to the Custodian under the Agreement (except such expenses identified as extraordinary expenses to be paid by Client), will be paid by Sponsor, and Custodian agrees that Sponsor shall be the only party liable for such fees, expenses, charges and obligations (“Sponsor Fees”). The Client authorizes the Sponsor to process payments on their behalf. Unless otherwise agreed, all fees and expenses paid to the Custodian shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.

The Client hereby acknowledges that the Custodian is subject to various laws including those verifying the identities of customers, pursuant to which the Custodian will obtain, verify and record information that allows the Custodian to identify each Client. Accordingly, prior to entering into this Agreement, the Custodian will ask the Client to provide certain information including, but not limited to, the Client’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Custodian to identify and verify the Client’s identity, such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business or other pertinent identifying information. The Custodian may obtain and verify comparable information for any Authorized Person. The Client shall provide the Custodian with documentation to allow for obtaining and verifying the beneficial owners and control persons of customers that are legal entities. The Client acknowledges that the Custodian cannot provide services under this Agreement until the Custodian verifies the identity of the Client (and, if applicable, Authorized Persons and/or beneficial owners) in accordance with its customer identification and verification procedures. The Client’s Custody Account may be restricted or closed if the Custodian cannot obtain and verify this information. The Custodian will not be responsible for any losses or damages (including, but not limited to, lost opportunities) that may result if a Client’s Custody Account is restricted or closed.

The Client will promptly provide the Custodian with such additional information and documentation (including, as applicable, by executing additional documentation) as the Custodian may request to identify the owner(s) of Assets, for the Custodian to comply with applicable Law and its policies and procedures, and to enable the Custodian to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

The Client shall promptly inform the Custodian if (a) the Client is or becomes a Sanctioned Person, (b) the Client is or becomes located, organized, or resident in, or begins to conduct business in or with a country or territory with which dealings are broadly restricted or prohibited by any Sanctions (including, as of the date hereof, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria) or (c) the Client becomes aware that the Client or any Asset, or any transaction involving an Asset, is or becomes the target of any Sanctions or investigation (including the reasonable details thereof).

The Client shall not grant any other Person a lien, security interest, charge or similar rights or claims against the Assets without the Custodian’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

In giving any Instructions which purport to be Proper Instructions under this Agreement, the Client will act, and will cause the Sponsor to act, in accordance with the provisions of any and all constitutional documents of the Client, any and all documents governing the Assets and any related laws and regulations.

The Client and its Authorized Persons are responsible for creating a strong password and maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, hints, personal identification numbers, or any other codes that the Client and any Authorized Person uses to access the services provided by the Custodian under this Agreement. Any loss or compromise of the foregoing information and/or the Client’s personal information may result in unauthorized access to the Custody Account by third-parties and the loss or theft of any Digital Assets or Assets held in the Custody Account and any associated accounts. The Client is responsible for keeping the Client’s contact information, including email address and telephone number, up to date in order to receive any notices or alerts that the Custodian may send to the Client. The Custodian assumes no responsibility for any loss that the Client may sustain due to the compromise of account login credentials not due to fault of the Custodian, or due to any failure by the Client, any Authorized Person or the Sponsor to follow or act on any notices or alerts that the Custodian may send to the Client, an Authorized Person or the Sponsor.

At any time, the Custodian may request Instructions from any Authorized Person or the Sponsor (or Person that the Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person or the Sponsor), and may consult with its own legal counsel or outside legal counsel for the Client with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Custodian under this Agreement.

INDEMNITY

Indemnity to the Custodian. The Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Custodian, its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees, against any and all claims, costs, causes of action, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent that the Custodian would be liable under Section 12.B hereunder and except with respect to any fees to be paid to Custodian hereunder, which fees will be paid by the Sponsor. The foregoing indemnifications shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Client’s Direct Liability. The disclosure by the Client to the Custodian that the Client has entered into this Agreement as the agent or representative of another person shall not relieve the Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including those described in Section 13.A above.
