1. SERVICES.

1.1. Custodian.

Client authorizes, approves, and directs Custodian to establish and maintain one or more segregated custody accounts, controlled and secured by Custodian, on its books (each a “Custodial Account”), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, for the receipt, safekeeping, and maintenance of supported Digital Assets, as well as Fiat Currency (“Custodial Services”) on Client’s behalf.

1.2. Wallet Software and Non-Custodial Wallet Service.

(A) Custodian also provides Client with the option to create non-custodial wallets that support certain Digital Assets via an API and web interface (“Wallet Services”). Wallet Services are provided by BitGo, Inc, an affiliate of Custodian (“BitGo Inc.”). Wallet Services provide access to wallets where BitGo Inc. holds a minority of the keys, and Client is responsible for holding a majority of the keys (“Client Keys”).

(B) The Wallet Services do not send or receive money or digital assets. The Wallet Services enable Client to interface with virtual currency networks to view and transmit information about a public cryptographic key commonly referred to as a blockchain address. As further set forth in Section 3.5, Client assumes all responsibility and liability for securing the Client Keys. Further, Client assumes all responsibility and liability for creation, storage, and maintenance of any backup keys associated with accounts created using the Wallet Services.

(C) Client’s use of the Wallet Services is subject to the terms and conditions set forth at https://www.bitgo.com/terms (the “Wallet Terms”), as they may be amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between the Wallet Terms and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

1.3. Fiat Services.

(A) Client may elect to store Fiat Currency with Custodian (“Fiat Services”). To use the Fiat Services, Client must link the Custodial Account with account(s) at a depository institution (“Bank”) that has been approved by Custodian (each a “Client Bank Account”). All Fiat Currency deposits to and withdrawals from the Custodial Account must be processed through the approved Client Bank Account. Custodian has no right, interest, or title in such Fiat Currency. Custodian hereby confirms that the Fiat Currency is not an asset on the balance sheet of Custodian.

(B) Custodian will hold any permitted Fiat Currency received by Custodian on behalf of Client, at Custodian’s sole discretion, in one or more omnibus deposit accounts that Custodian has established with Banks (each an “Omnibus Account”). Each Omnibus Account shall be titled in the name of Custodian for the benefit of its customers and shall be maintained separately and apart from Custodian’s business, operating, and reserve accounts. Each Omnibus Account constitutes a banking relationship between Custodian and Bank and shall not constitute a custodial relationship between Custodian and Bank and does not create or represent any relationship between Client and any Bank.

(C) Client acknowledges and agrees that Custodian may hold some or any portion of Fiat Currency in accounts that may or may not receive interest or other earnings. Client hereby agrees that the amount of any such interest or earnings attributable to such Fiat Currency may be retained by Custodian as additional consideration for its services under this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement entitles Client to any portion of such interest or earnings. In addition, Custodian may receive earnings or compensation for an Omnibus Account in the form of services provided at a reduced rate or similar compensation. Client agrees that any such compensation shall be retained by Custodian, Client is not entitled to any portion of such compensation, and no portion of any such compensation shall be paid to or for Client.

(D) Wire Transfers. Wire deposits sent before 4 PM ET by domestic or international wire from a Client Bank Account will typically settle and be credited to Custodian’s Omnibus Account on the same day or next business day. Wire withdrawals initiated before 4 PM ET will typically be processed on the same day or next business day. Wire deposits may not be credited and wire withdrawals may not be processed outside of normal banking hours. Client agrees and understands that wire deposit settlement times and wire withdrawal transfer times are subject to factors outside of Custodian’s control, including, among other things, processes and operations related to the Client Bank Account and the Custodian’s Bank.

2

1.4. Third-Party Payments.

The Custodial Services are not intended to facilitate third-party payments of any kind, which shall include the use of both Fiat Currency or Digital Assets. As such, Custodian has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that Client may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including other users of Custodial Services) involving Digital Assets that Client intends to store, or have stored, in Client’s Custodial Account.

1.5. API Access.

(A) Most Services are provided through https://www.bitgo.com/ or any associated websites or application programming interfaces (“APIs”) (collectively, the “Company Site”). Client may elect to utilize the APIs either directly or indirectly within an independently developed application (“Developer Application”).

(B) All API-based Services are subject to the terms and conditions set forth at https://www.bitgo.com/legal/services-agreement (the “API Terms”), as they may be amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between the API Terms and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. If Client exceeds a usage limit, Custodian will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Client (and may provide notice if Client is likely to exceed such limit) and may provide assistance to seek to reduce Client usage so that it conforms to that limit. If Client is unable or unwilling to abide by the usage limits, Client will reasonably negotiate to enter into order forms for additional quantities of the applicable Services promptly or pay Custodian’s invoices for excess usage based upon BitGo’s then-current standard rates.

1.6. Fees.

The fees associated with the Services shall be calculated, invoiced and paid in accordance with Schedule A (“Fee Schedule”). Custodian reserves the right to revise its Fee Schedule at any time following the Initial Term, provided that Custodian will provide Client with at least sixty (60) days’ advance notice of any such revision. Within such 60-day period, Client may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Custodian in accordance with Section 5.4 and discontinue the Services hereunder at no additional charge to Client.

1.7. Acknowledgement of Risks.

(A) General Risks; No Investment, Tax, or Legal Advice; No Brokerage. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CUSTODIAN DOES NOT PROVIDE INVESTMENT, TAX, OR LEGAL ADVICE, NOR DOES CUSTODIAN BROKER TRANSACTIONS ON CLIENT’S BEHALF. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CUSTODIAN HAS NOT PROVIDED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ADVICE, GUIDANCE OR RECOMMENDATIONS TO CLIENT WITH REGARD TO THE SUITABILITY OR VALUE OF ANY DIGITAL ASSETS, AND THAT CUSTODIAN HAS NO LIABILITY REGARDING ANY SELECTION OF A DIGITAL ASSET THAT IS HELD BY CLIENT THROUGH CLIENT’S CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT AND THE CUSTODIAL SERVICES OR THE WALLET SERVICES. ALL DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL TRANSACTIONS ARE EXECUTED BASED ON CLIENT’S INSTRUCTIONS, AND CLIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER ANY INVESTMENT, INVESTMENT STRATEGY, OR RELATED TRANSACTION INVOLVING DIGITAL ASSETS IS APPROPRIATE FOR CLIENT BASED ON CLIENT’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, AND RISK TOLERANCE.

3

(1) VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS NOT LEGAL TENDER, IS NOT BACKED BY THE GOVERNMENT, AND ACCOUNTS AND VALUE BALANCES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION PROTECTIONS;

(2) LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES OR ACTIONS AT THE STATE, FEDERAL, OR INTERNATIONAL LEVEL MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE USE, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, AND VALUE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY;

(3) TRANSACTIONS IN VIRTUAL CURRENCY MAY BE IRREVERSIBLE, AND, ACCORDINGLY, LOSSES DUE TO FRAUDULENT OR ACCIDENTAL TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE RECOVERABLE;

(4) SOME VIRTUAL CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE WHEN RECORDED ON A PUBLIC LEDGER, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY THE DATE OR TIME THAT THE CUSTOMER INITIATES THE TRANSACTION;

(5) THE VALUE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY MAY BE DERIVED FROM THE CONTINUED WILLINGNESS OF MARKET PARTICIPANTS TO EXCHANGE FIAT CURRENCY FOR VIRTUAL CURRENCY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR PERMANENT AND TOTAL LOSS OF VALUE OF A PARTICULAR VIRTUAL CURRENCY SHOULD THE MARKET FOR THAT VIRTUAL CURRENCY DISAPPEAR;

(6) THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A PERSON WHO ACCEPTS A VIRTUAL CURRENCY AS PAYMENT TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE;

(7) THE VOLATILITY AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE PRICE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY RELATIVE TO FIAT CURRENCY MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME;

(8) THE NATURE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY MAY LEAD TO AN INCREASED RISK OF FRAUD OR CYBER ATTACK;

(9) THE NATURE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY MEANS THAT ANY TECHNOLOGICAL DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY THE LICENSEE MAY PREVENT THE ACCESS OR USE OF A CUSTOMER’S VIRTUAL CURRENCY; AND

(10) ANY BOND OR TRUST ACCOUNT MAINTAINED BY THE CLIENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITS CUSTOMERS MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER ALL LOSSES INCURRED BY CUSTOMERS.

(C) CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT USING DIGITAL ASSETS AND ANY RELATED NETWORKS AND PROTOCOLS, INVOLVES SERIOUS RISKS. CLIENT AGREES THAT IT HAS READ AND ACCEPTS THE RISKS LISTED IN THIS SECTION 1.6, WHICH IS NON-EXHAUSTIVE AND WHICH MAY NOT CAPTURE ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIENT’S ACTIVITY. AS BETWEEN CLIENT AND CUSTODIAN, IT IS CLIENT’S DUTY TO LEARN ABOUT ALL THE RISKS INVOLVED WITH APPLICABLE DIGITAL ASSETS AND ANY RELATED PROTOCOLS AND NETWORKS. CUSTODIAN MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE VALUE OF DIGITAL ASSETS OR THE SECURITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY RELATED NETWORK OR PROTOCOL.

2. CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.

2.1. Registration; Authorized Persons

(a) To use the Custodial Services, Client must create a Custodial Account by providing Custodian information as reasonably requested. Custodian may, in its sole discretion, refuse to allow Client to establish a Custodial Account, limit the number of Custodial Accounts, and/or decide to subsequently terminate a Custodial Account.

(b) Client will maintain an updated and current list of Authorized Persons at all times on the Company Site and will reasonably promptly notify Custodian of any changes to the list of Authorized Persons by updating the list on the Company Site, including for termination of employment, or otherwise. Client shall make available all necessary documentation and identification information, as reasonably requested by Custodian to confirm: (i) the identity of each Authorized Person; (ii) that each Authorized Person is eligible to be deemed an “Authorized Person” as defined in this Agreement; and (iii) the party(ies) requesting the changes in the list of Authorized Persons have valid authority to request changes on behalf of Client.

2.2. General.

The Custodial Services allow Client to deposit supported Digital Assets from a public blockchain address to Client’s Custodial Account, and to withdraw supported Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account to a public blockchain address, in each case, pursuant to Instructions Client provides through the Company Site (each such transaction is a “Custody Transaction”). The Digital Assets stored in Client’s Custodial Account will not be commingled with other Digital Assets unless expressly permissioned by Client and will be held in custody pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Custodian reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Custody Transaction: as required by Applicable Law; to enforce transaction, threshold, and condition limits; or if Custodian reasonably believes that the Custody Transaction may violate or facilitate the violation of any Applicable Law, regulation or rule of a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization. Custodian cannot reverse a Custody Transaction which has been broadcast to a Digital Asset network.

2.3. Instructions.

(a) Custodian acts upon instructions (“Instructions”) given by Authorized Persons that are received and verified by Custodian in accordance with its procedures and this Agreement.

(b) Instructions will be required for any action requested of the Custodian. Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until canceled (if possible) or executed.

(c) The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Instructions it receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person reasonably believed by the Custodian to be an Authorized Person) pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) The Custodian may assume that any Instructions received hereunder are not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of organizational documents of the Client or of any vote, resolution, or proper authorization and that the Client is authorized to take the actions specified in the Instructions.

5

(e) Client must verify all transaction information prior to submitting Instructions to the Custodian. The Custodian shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any Instructions.

(f) If any Instructions are ambiguous, incomplete, or conflicting, Custodian may refuse to execute such Instructions until any ambiguity, incompleteness, or conflict has been resolved. Custodian may refuse to execute Instructions if, in its sole opinion, such Instructions are outside the scope of its duties under this Agreement or are contrary to any Applicable Law.

(g) Client is responsible for Losses (as defined below) resulting from inaccurate Instructions (e.g., if Client provides the wrong destination address for executing a withdrawal transaction). Custodian does not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee, or other party to a Custody Transaction. Custodian shall have no liability whatsoever for failure to perform pursuant to such Instructions except in the case of Custodian’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.

2.4. Digital Asset Deposits and Withdrawals.

(a) Client acknowledges that Custodian offers Custodial Services only for specific Digital Assets. The list of supported Digital Assets is currently available at: https://www.bitgo.com/resources/integrations, and includes Bitcoin, Ether, USDC, and Solana, among others. The foregoing list or foregoing URL may be updated or changed from time to time in Custodian’s sole discretion. Custodian will provide prior written notice to Client if it ceases to support Bitcoin, Ether USDC, or Solana.

(b) Client must initiate any withdrawal request through Client’s Custodial Account to a Client wallet address. Custodian will process withdrawal requests for amounts under $250,000, either in a single transaction or aggregated in a series of transactions, during a rolling 24 hour period without video verification, to a Client-whitelisted address which has been previously used to which Client has made a withdraw to at least once. The time of such a request shall be considered the time of transmission of such notice from Client’s Custodial Account. Custodian reserves the right to request video verification for any transaction or series of transactions under the threshold of $250,000. Custodian will require video verification for withdrawal requests greater than $250,000 or requests made to a new address, either in a single transaction or aggregated in a series of transactions, during a rolling 24 hour period; provided, Custodian can require video calls for amounts less than $250,000 if it deems necessary for security, compliance, or any other purposes in its sole discretion. The initiation of the 24 hour time period to process the withdrawal request shall be considered at the time at which client completes video verification.

(c) As further set forth in Section 3.5, Client must manage and keep secure any and all information or devices associated with deposit and withdrawal procedures, including YubiKeys and passphrases or other security or confirmation information. Custodian reserves the right to charge or pass through actual network fees (e.g., miner fees or validator fees) to process a Digital Asset transaction on Client’s behalf. Custodian will notify Client of the estimated network fee at or before the time Client authorizes the transaction.

2.5. Digital Asset Access Time.

(A) Custodian requires up to 24 hours (excluding weekends and US federal holidays) between any request to withdraw Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account and submission of Client’s withdrawal to the applicable Digital Asset network.

6

(C) Custodian reserves the right to take additional time beyond the 24 hour period if such time is required to verify security processes for large or suspicious transactions. Any such processes will be executed reasonably and in accordance with Custodian documented protocols, which may change from time to time at the sole discretion of Custodian.

(D) Custodian makes no representations or warranties with respect to the availability and/or accessibility of the Digital Assets. Custodian will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Client initiated deposits are processed in a timely manner, but Custodian makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing of deposits which is dependent upon factors outside of Custodian’s control.

2.6. Supported Digital Assets.

The Custodial Services are available only in connection with those Digital Assets that Custodian supports (list currently available at https://www.bitgo.com/resources/integrations), which includes Bitcoin, Ether, USDC, and Solana, among others. The Digital Assets that Custodian supports may change from time to time in Custodian’s discretion. Custodian assumes no obligation or liability whatsoever regarding any unsupported Digital Asset sent or attempted to be sent to it, or regarding any attempt to use the Custodial Services for Digital Assets that Custodian does not support. Custodian may, from time to time, determine types of Digital Assets that will be supported or cease to be supported by the Custodial Services. Custodian will provide Client with prompt prior written notice, no shorter than one hundred and eighty (180) days’, before ceasing to support either Bitcoin, Ether, USDC, or Solana, unless Custodian is required to cease such support sooner to comply with Applicable Law or in the event such support creates an urgent security or operational risk in Custodian’s reasonable discretion (in which event Custodian will provide as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances). Under no circumstances should Client attempt to use the Custodial Services to deposit or store any Digital Assets that are not supported by Custodian. Depositing or attempting to deposit Digital Assets that are not supported by Custodian may result in such Digital Asset being unretrievable by Client and Custodian.

2.7. Advanced Protocols.

Unless specifically announced on the Custodian or Company website, Custodian does not support airdrops, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Digital Asset supported by Custodian (collectively, “Advanced Protocols”). Client shall not use its Custodial Account to attempt to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. Custodian assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect to Advanced Protocols.

2.8. Operation of Digital Asset Protocols.

(A) Custodian does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Assets supported on the Custodian platform. By using the Custodial Services, Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) Custodian is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and that Custodian makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a.k.a. “forks”), and (iii) that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the Digital Assets that Client stores in Client’s Custodial Account. In the event of a fork, Client agrees that Custodian may temporarily suspend Custodian operations with respect to the affected Digital Assets (with or without advance notice to Client) and that Custodian may, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. Client acknowledges and agrees that Custodian assumes absolutely no liability whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol or its determination whether or not to support a forked protocol.

7

(B) Client agrees that all “airdrops” (free distributions of certain Digital Assets) and forks will be handled by Custodian pursuant to its fork policy (the “Fork Policy”) (currently available at www.bitgo.com/resources/bitgo-fork-policy). Client acknowledges that Custodian is under no obligation to support any airdrops or forks, or handle them in any manner, except as detailed above and in the Fork Policy. Client further acknowledges that Custodian, at its sole discretion, may update the Fork Policy from time to time and/or the URL at which it is available and Client agrees that Client is responsible for reviewing any such updates. Client is under no obligation to provide notification to Client of any modification to the Fork Policy.

2.9. Account Statements.

(A) Custodian will provide Client with an electronic account statement every month. Each statement will be provided via the Custodian’s website and notice of its posting will be sent via electronic mail. Each account statement will identify the amount of Client cash and each Digital Asset.

(B) The Client will have sixty (60) days to file any written objections or exceptions with the Custodian after the posting of a Custodial Account statement online. If the Client does not file any objections or exceptions within a sixty (60)-day period, this shall indicate the Client’s approval of the statement and will preclude the Client from making future objections or exceptions regarding the information contained in the statement. Such approval by the Client shall be full acquittal and discharge of Custodian regarding the transactions and information on such statement.

(C) To value Digital Assets held in the Custodial Account, the Custodian will electronically obtain USD equivalent prices from digital asset market data with amounts rounded up to the seventh decimal place to the right. Custodian cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of prices received and the prices are not to be relied upon for any investment decisions for the Custodial Account.

2.10. Independent Verification.

If Client is subject to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Custodian shall, upon written request, provide Client’s authorized independent public accountant confirmation of, or access to, information sufficient to confirm (i) Client’s Digital Assets as of the date of an examination conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2(a)(4), and (ii) Client’s Digital Assets are held either in a separate account under Client’s name or in accounts under Client’s name as agent or trustee for Client’s clients.

2.11. Support and Service Level Agreement.

Custodian agrees that as part of the services, and at no additional cost to Client, Custodian shall provide reasonable support services in connection with Client’s onboarding. Custodian will use commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to provide reasonable technical support to Client, by email or telephone, during Custodian’s normal business hours (9:30 AM to 6 PM ET); (ii) to respond to support requests in a timely manner; (iii) resolve such issues by providing updates and/or workarounds to Client (to the extent reasonably possible and practical), consistent with the severity level of the issues identified in such requests and their impact on Client’s business operations; (iv) abide by the terms of the Service Level Agreement currently made available at https://www.bitgo.com/resources/bitgo-service-level-agreement (as Service Level Agreement or the URL at which it is made available may be amended from time to time); and (vii) to make Custodial Accounts available via the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

8

2.12. Clearing and Settlement Services.

(A) Custodian may offer clearing and settlement services (the “Settlement Services”) that facilitate the settlement of transactions of Digital Assets or Fiat Currency between Client and Client’s trade counterparty that also has a Custodial Account with Custodian (“Settlement Partner”). Client acknowledges that the Settlement Service is an API product complemented by a Web user interface (UI). Clients may utilize the Settlement Services by way of settlement of one-sided requests with counterparty affirmation or one-sided requests with instant settlement; and two-sided requests with reconciliation. Client understands that the Digital Assets available for use within the Settlement Services may not include all of Client’s Digital Assets under custody. For the avoidance of doubt, use of the API product is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.4 of this Agreement.

(B) The Settlement Services allow Client to submit, through the Custodian’s settlement platform, a request to settle a purchase or sale of Digital Assets with a Settlement Partner. Client authorizes Custodian to accept Client’s cryptographic signature submitted by way of the Settlement Services API. When a cryptographic signature is received by way of the Settlement Services along with the settlement transaction details, Client is authorizing Custodian to act on Client’s direction to settle such transaction.

i) A one-sided request with counterparty affirmation requires Client to submit a request, including its own cryptographic signature on the trade details, via API calls. Custodian will notify the Settlement Partner and lock funds of both parties while waiting for the Settlement Partner to affirm the request. Custodian will settle the trade immediately upon affirmation and the locked funds will be released.

ii) A one-sided request with instant settlement requires one side of the trade to submit a request, including cryptographic signatures of both parties to the trade, via API calls. Custodian will settle the trade immediately.

iii) A two-sided request with reconciliation requires that both Client and Settlement Partner submit requests via API calls, with each party providing their own cryptographic signatures. Custodian will reconcile the trades and settle immediately upon successful reconciliation.

iv) In any one-sided or two sided request, the Settlement Partner must be identified and selected by Client prior to submitting a settlement request.

9

v) Client may submit a balance inquiry through the settlement platform, to verify that Settlement Partner has a sufficient balance of Digital Asset to be transacted before the Parties execute a transaction. This balance inquiry function is to be utilized only for the purpose of executing a trade transaction to ensure the Settlement Partner has sufficient fiat currency (funds) or Digital Assets to settle the transaction. Client hereby expressly authorizes and consents to Custodian providing access to such information to Client’s Settlement Partner in order to facilitate the settlement.

vi) Client and Settlement Partner’s Custodial Accounts must have sufficient funds or Digital Assets prior to initiating any settlement request. The full amount of assets required to fulfill a transaction are locked until such order has been completed. All orders are binding on Client and Client’s Custodial Account. Custodian does not guarantee that any settlement will be completed by any Settlement Partner. Client may not be able to withdraw an offer (or withdraw its acceptance of an offer) prior to completion of a settlement and Custodian shall not be liable for the completion of any order after a cancellation request has been submitted.

vii) Client acknowledges and accepts responsibility for ensuring only an appropriate Authorized Person of its Custodial Account has access to the API key(s).

viii) Client further understands and agrees that Client is solely responsible for any decision to enter into a settlement by way of the Settlement Services, including the evaluation of any and all risks related to any such transaction and has not relied on any statement or other representation of Custodian. Client understands that Custodian is a facilitator and not a counterparty to any settlement; and, as a facilitator, Custodian bears no liability with respect to any transaction and does not assume any clearing risk.

ix) Any notifications that Client may receive regarding the Settlement Services are Client’s responsibility to review in a timely manner.

(C) Upon execution of the settlement, the Settlement Services shall provide Client, by electronic means, a summary of the terms of the transaction, including: the type of Digital Asset purchased or sold; the delivery time; and the purchase or sale price. Settlement of a transaction is completed in an off-chain trading account by way of offsetting journal transactions within Custodian’s Digital Asset Off-chain Settlement System. On-chain synchronization occurs at the time the withdrawal from Client’s trading account takes place (other than through a subsequent Settlement Services transaction).

(D) Custodian reserves the right to refuse to settle any transaction, or any portion of any transaction, for any reason, at its sole discretion. Custodian bears no responsibility if any such order was placed or active during any time the Settlement Services system is unavailable or encounters an error; or, if any such order triggers certain regulatory controls.

(E) Client understands and agrees that Custodian may charge additional fees for the Settlement Services furnished to Client as indicated in the Fee Schedule attached as Schedule A and any amendments to Schedule A.

(F) Clearing and settlement transactions shall be subject to all Applicable Law.
