On August 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for up to $250.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Subject to any future extension in the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the repurchase program is scheduled to expire upon the earliest of (i) June 30, 2026, (ii) when a maximum of $250.0 million of the Company's common stock has been repurchased, or (iii) when such program is discontinued by the Board of Directors.

On September 5, 2025, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 2,200,723 shares of common stock at an average price of $2.50 per share, which are in the process of being cancelled.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**AMENDED AND RESTATED ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT**

This AMENDED AND RESTATED ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), effective September 5, 2025 (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"), is entered into by and between ETHZilla Corporation (f/k/a 180 Life Sciences Corp.) (the "<u>Client</u>"), and Electric Treasury Edge, LLC (the "<u>Asset Manager</u>" and, together with the Client, the "<u>Parties</u>").

WHEREAS, the Asset Manager and the Client entered into an Asset Management Agreement dated and effective as of August 4, 2025 (the "<u>Original Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which the Asset Manager would provide asset management and related services to the Client;

WHEREAS, the Asset Manager and the Client wish to enter into this Agreement to reflect changes in the nature of the assets and the services contemplated, and to amend and restate, in its entirety, the Original Agreement as of the Effective Date, and pursuant to which the Asset Manager will provide asset management and related services to the Client.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Appointment of the Asset Manager; Authority</u>. The Client hereby appoints the Asset Manager to provide discretionary asset management services, in accordance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in <u>Schedule A</u> (the "<u>Investment Guidelines</u>"), with respect to the Account Assets (as defined below) in one or more separately managed accounts or cryptocurrency "wallets" identified in <u>Schedule B</u> attached hereto (collectively, the "<u>Account</u>") maintained directly by the Client through self-custody or with one or more custodian(s) or cryptocurrency wallet providers that are mutually acceptable to the Client and the Asset Manager (collectively, the "<u>Custodians</u>"). The Asset Manager hereby accepts its appointment and agrees to provide such asset management services upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Client agrees that the Asset Manager may provide the services under this Agreement via affiliates of the Asset Manager ("<u>Asset Manager Affiliates</u>"), provided however, to the extent an affiliate of the Asset Manager is an investment fund, no portfolio company or limited partner of such investment fund shall be deemed an affiliate based solely on such relationship. The Client and the Asset Manager understand and agree that changes to Schedule B may be made from time to time following the date of execution of this Agreement by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Account Assets</u>. The "<u>Account Assets</u>" shall consist of Eligible Assets (as defined in the Investment Guidelines), including Eligible Securities (as defined below), which the Client has placed or will place into the Account, as well as all investments thereof, proceeds of, income on and additions or accretions to same, including all assets which are or were in the Account, but which are staked or liquid staked from time to time in accordance with this Agreement and all staking rewards resulting from such staked assets, or which are otherwise used in accordance with this Agreement and remain owned by the Client. From time to time, with the prior approval of the Asset Manager (which approval may be made in any manner as the Parties mutually agree), the Client may place additional Eligible Assets in the Account or direct that additional Eligible Assets be placed in the Account, in each case in a manner consistent with the Investment Guidelines and for the purpose of furthering the ETH Focused Strategy. The Client acknowledges that the Account Assets may constitute only a part of the assets of the Client, and that the Asset Manager may act without regard to or consideration of any other assets that may from time to time be held by the Client and shall have no responsibility, duty or liability with respect to any assets that are not Account Assets.

For the purposes of this Agreement, "<u>ETH Focused Strategy</u>" means the long-bias strategy of digital assets primarily focused in Ether ("<u>ETH</u>") and other Eligible Assets and Eligible Securities, including without limitation staking (including restaking, liquid staking, liquidity provisioning, financing using staking and restaking rewards, and other yield generating strategies) of ETH to improve returns.

The Parties agree that the "Eligible Assets" shall not include, unless mutually agreed in writing by the Parties, any asset (i) separately agreed in writing by the Parties (as amended from time to time), or (ii) that, after the Effective Date, the SEC determines in final rulemaking or guidance or asserts in an enforcement action or litigation, or any SEC "senior official" publicly states, is a "Security" under the federal securities laws. "<u>Security</u>" means an asset that is an "investment security" as that term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>Investment Company Act</u>"), or a "security" as that term is defined in the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "<u>Advisers Act</u>"). Eligible Assets that are Securities will be referred to in this Agreement as "<u>Eligible Securities</u>", and Eligible Assets that are not Securities will be referred to in this Agreement as "<u>Eligible Non-Securities</u>."

"<u>Commodity Derivatives</u>" include any assets that would cause either the Account or the Client to become a commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the "<u>CEA</u>"), or require the Asset Manager or the Client to register as a commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or obtain any other license or approval with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and/or the National Futures Association.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Investment Guidelines to the contrary, the Parties agree that (i) in no event shall Eligible Assets include, nor shall the Asset Manager provide any investment advice with respect to, Securities that would require the registration of any of the Account, the Client or the Asset Manager as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, (ii) the Client is not engaging the Asset Manager to provide investment advice about Commodity Derivatives pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) for so long as the Account Assets do not include Securities and the Asset Manager's services hereunder are confined to assets that are not Securities, the Client is not an "advisory client" for purposes of the Advisers Act and the Client acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Client shall not be afforded the protections of advisory clients under the Advisers Act (unless such protections are otherwise explicitly provided herein), and (iv) for so long as the Account Assets do not include Commodity Derivatives and the Asset Manger's services hereunder are confined to assets that are not Commodity Derivatives, the Client is not a "client" for purposes of the CEA and the Client acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Client shall not be afforded the protections of clients under the CEA. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Asset Manager agrees that it shall at all times conduct its advisory services in a manner that ensures that the Account Assets comply with the Investment Guidelines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Authority of Asset Manager</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Generally</u>. Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof and subject to the Investment Guidelines and restrictions regarding Commodity Derivatives outlined here, the Asset Manager (and, where applicable, any Asset Manager Affiliate) shall have sole discretionary responsibility and authority regarding the management of the Account Assets and, as herein provided, shall from time to time direct the investment and reinvestment of such assets in the Account, including Account Assets maintained directly by the Client through self-custody. Subject to the Investment Guidelines, the Asset Manager (and, where applicable, any Asset Manager Affiliate) shall have full power and authority to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) enter into all transactions and other undertakings that the Asset Manager may deem necessary or advisable to carry out its investment decisions, including but not limited to the ability to buy, sell, exchange, convert, swap, stake, restake, liquid stake, redeem, and otherwise trade or transact in Eligible Assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) make investment decisions in respect of the Account Assets and the Account in accordance with the Investment Guidelines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) purchase, acquire, hold, invest, reinvest, sell, stake, restake, liquid stake, redeem or dispose of, or otherwise trade or transact in any Eligible Assets which constitute or will constitute all or any portion of the Account Assets, and place orders with respect to, and arrange for any of the foregoing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) select brokers, dealers, custodians, cryptocurrency wallet providers, staking, restaking and liquid staking service providers and other intermediaries, exchanges and counterparties in consultation with the Client's officers, which may or may not be affiliated with the Asset Manager, as may be necessary to execute transactions as described above and any other transactions contemplated herein, and to instruct any Custodian to open accounts in the name, or for the benefit, of the Client with such selected brokers, dealers, custodians, cryptocurrency wallet providers, staking, restaking and liquid staking service providers and other intermediaries, exchanges and counterparties and to pay reasonable fees and charges applicable to transactions in the Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) instruct a Custodian to deliver (but with respect to assets that are Securities, only on a delivery versus payment basis or with the prior approval of the Client, the Client's designated approving party or a Custodian) an Eligible Asset sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Account in exchange for cash and to deliver cash to pay for Eligible Assets delivered to the Custodian that were acquired by the Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) instruct a Custodian to exercise or abstain from exercising any option, privilege or right held in the Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) monitor the correct collection of income on the Account Assets by a Custodian;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) execute, in the name and on behalf of Client, all such documents and take all such other actions which Asset Manager shall deem requisite, appropriate or advisable to carry out its duties hereunder, provided that all actions authorized by this Agreement and executed by the Asset Manager pursuant to the authority herein granted shall be consummated by a Custodian;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) engage such independent agents, administrators, subadvisors, attorneys and accountants as the Asset Manager may deem necessary or advisable for the Account Assets and to instruct a Custodian to pay on behalf of the Client all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred thereby (including reasonable and documented legal and accounting fees and disbursements, commissions, banking, brokerage, registration and private placement fees, and transfer, capital and other taxes, duties and costs incurred in connection with the making of investments by the Client in Account transactions); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) take any other action with respect to property in the Account as necessary or desirable to carry out its obligations under this Agreement (except that the Asset Manager is not authorized to withdraw any money or other property from the Account either in the name of the Client or otherwise and shall under no circumstances act as custodian of the Account or take or have title to, or authority to take possession of the Account Assets, except as expressly described herein).

Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Asset Manager in the Asset Manager's exercise of its authority under this Section 3(a).

The foregoing authority shall remain in full force and effect until expressly revoked by the Client in writing to the Asset Manager or the termination of this Agreement as provided herein. Revocation shall not affect transactions entered into prior to such revocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Power of Attorney</u>. In furtherance of the authority set forth in paragraph (a) above, the Client hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Asset Manager as its agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority and without further approval of the Client, in the Client's name, place and stead, to (i) negotiate, make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, record and file any agreements, documents or instruments which may be considered necessary or desirable by the Asset Manager to carry out fully the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) to perform all other acts contemplated by this Agreement or necessary, advisable or convenient to carry out its duties hereunder (subject at all times, however, to each and all of the limitations and stipulations set forth herein and in the Investment Guidelines). Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, this power of attorney set forth in this Section 3(b) shall not permit the Asset Manager to take any action that would cause the Asset Manager to have or be deemed to have "custody" as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (the "<u>Custody Rule</u>"). Because this limited power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, it shall be irrevocable and survive and not be affected by the Client's insolvency or dissolution. However, this limited power of attorney will become revocable upon the expiration of such interest and, therefore, this limited power of attorney will terminate upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Compliance with Investment Guidelines</u>. The Client acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the Investment Guidelines, including, without limitation, compliance with sector and industry weights of the Account, as applicable, shall be determined in accordance with the Asset Manager's internal systems. Reasonable interpretations of the investment objectives made in good faith by the Asset Manager shall be binding upon the Parties. The Client understands and agrees that the Asset Manager does not guarantee or represent that any investment objectives will be achieved. In the event of any breach of the Investment Guidelines, the Asset Manager shall seek to return the Account to compliance with the Investment Guidelines as soon as reasonably practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) The Client is in compliance with all material rules and regulations to which it is subject; provided, that with respect to the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder, this representation will not continue past the Effective Date.

Unless otherwise specified, the foregoing representations and warranties shall be continuing during the term of the Agreement, and if at any time during the term of this Agreement any event has occurred which would make any of the foregoing representations and warranties untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, the Client shall promptly notify the Asset Manager of such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Client Acknowledgements</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Reliance on Client Information; Cooperation</u>. The Client acknowledges that the information provided by the Client on any Account opening forms, including without limitation, information pertaining to the Client's legal or tax status, address or other contact information and Investment Guidelines will be relied upon by the Asset Manager, and the Client agrees that if any such information shall hereafter change or become inaccurate, the Client shall notify the Asset Manager in writing of such change or inaccuracy as soon as reasonably practicable. The Client shall cooperate with the Asset Manager in the performance of its services under this Agreement and, upon the Asset Manager's reasonable request, shall provide the Asset Manager with timely access to and use of personnel, facilities, equipment, data and information to the extent necessary to permit the Asset Manager to perform its services under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Risk Factors; Conflicts of Interest; Non-Exclusive Management</u>. The Client acknowledges that it has read, carefully considered and understood the risk factors and the conflicts of interest described herein and in the Form ADV – Part 2 of the Asset Manager's affiliate, Electric Capital Partners, LLC (crd#: 296943, available at <u>https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/search/genericsearch/firmgrid</u>) as available on the Effective Date, and hereby acknowledges and consent to such conflicts of interest. The Asset Manager shall devote such part of its time as is reasonably needed for the services contemplated under this Agreement; *provided, however*, that this Agreement shall not prevent the Asset Manager from rendering similar services or identical trading strategies to other persons, trusts, corporations or other entities. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Asset Manager or any of its officers, affiliates or employees from, as permitted by law, buying, selling or trading in any asset for its own or their own accounts. The Client acknowledges that the Asset Manager and its officers, affiliates and employees, and the Asset Manager's other clients may as permitted by law at any time have, acquire, increase, decrease, or dispose of positions in investments which are at the same time being acquired for or disposed of from the Account. The investment methods and strategies the Asset Manager and any Asset Manager Affiliates utilize in managing and advising the Client are the property of the Asset Manager and may be utilized by the Asset Manager and any Asset Manager Affiliates in managing for its own or their own accounts or for the accounts of other clients; however, investment decisions and allocations will not necessarily be the same among the Client and for its own or their own accounts or for the accounts of other clients. As permitted by law the Asset Manager shall have no obligation to acquire for the Account a position in any investment which the Asset Manager, its officers, affiliates or employees may acquire for its or their own accounts or for the account of another client. Nothing contained herein or provided hereby shall be construed as legal, tax or accounting advice by the Asset Manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Order Aggregation and Allocation</u>. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Manager manages other portfolios, including some that may use investment strategies substantially similar to those of the Account, and expects that purchases or sales of the same assets will be made on behalf of the Account and the other portfolios managed by the Asset Manager. The Asset Manager may, but is not obligated to, aggregate orders for the purchase or sale of assets on behalf of the Account with orders on behalf of other portfolios the Asset Manager manages. The Client acknowledges that, while the Asset Manager will seek to allocate the opportunity to purchase or sell such assets among the Account and such other portfolios in a manner it deems equitable over time, the Asset Manager shall not be required to assure equality of treatment among all of its clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Legal Proceedings</u>. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Asset Manager, the Asset Manager shall have no obligations to take any action on behalf of the Client in any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies or class actions, involving any assets held, or formerly held, in the Account or issuers of such assets. At the Client's request, the Asset Manager will endeavor to assist with administrative matters in respect of any settlement or judgment. Nonetheless, this provision shall not apply for any actions involving the Asset Manager's conduct or the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Transactions with Affiliates</u>. Prior to effecting any acquisition or disposition transaction in Eligible Assets between the Account on the one hand and the Asset Manager or an Asset Manager Affiliate on the other hand, the Asset Manager shall provide the Client details regarding such transaction and either obtain the written consent of the Client or deliver to the Client certification that such transaction is at least as favorable to the Account as the most favorable transaction with respect to the related Eligible Asset that is reasonably available to the Account from third-parties as of the date of such certification**.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Procedure for Account Withdrawals</u>. The Client hereby agrees to notify the Asset Manager at least five (5) Business Day prior to any withdrawals from the Account. Withdrawals will be processed within one (1) Business Day after the notice period has ended, subject to a buffer of up to three (3) additional Business Days to accommodate settlement or liquidity needs. The Client acknowledges and agrees that withdrawals will be funded first by accessing free cash balances and money market instruments; funds derived from the liquidation of all other assets will be deliverable upon final settlement of the trade(s) funding the withdrawal. Withdrawals will not affect: (a) the validity of any actions the Asset Manager has previously taken, or (b) the Client's liabilities or obligations for transactions started before withdrawal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Client understands and agrees that certain types of investments may only be liquidated at certain (sometimes infrequent) times and reasonable extensions to processing times described in this Section 9(f) shall be permitted by the Client in good faith to account for bona fide technical or business requirements. Client's ability to withdraw assets from the Account is subject to any liquidity restrictions on withdrawal (such as lock-up or holding periods) and unstaking times applicable to a particular investment, compliance with any internal corporate procedures and policies applicable to it, and compliance with any legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements that may impact the ability to withdraw assets from the Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Client Records, Reports and Transparency</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Asset Manager shall maintain the books and records pertaining to the management and oversight of the Account Assets throughout the term of this Agreement and for a period of five years after the end of the year in which this Agreement terminates or, to the extent required by the Advisers Act, such other period as required by Advisers Act Rule 204-2. Such books and records shall be made available for inspection and copying at any time by the Client reasonably requested and upon Client's expense, upon no less than three (3) Business Days' prior written notice and no more than one request per quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Asset Manager shall provide to the Client or shall arrange for the Custodian(s) to provide to the Client, weekly reports including, but not limited to, weekly net asset value, yield earned, weekly exposure and monthly risk and exposure, as well as other metrics to which the Parties may agree. The Asset Manager shall add additional features and data points to such reports on an ongoing basis consistent with market practices provided by other asset managers from time-to-time and consistent with each Custodian's product offerings, within a time frame to be mutually agreed between the Asset Manager and the Client. The Asset Manager and the Client shall meet on a monthly-basis to discuss the percentage of Eligible Securities versus Eligible Non-Securities in the Accounts, and the Asset Manager shall take reasonable steps to assist the Client as necessary to ensure continued compliance with the Investment Company Act to avoid the Client being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Client is responsible for any additional reporting required for its compliance, accounting, or other purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Liability</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except in the cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud (each, a "<u>Disqualifying Action</u>"), none of the Asset Manager, its affiliates or their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the "<u>Covered Persons</u>") shall have any direct or indirect liability (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations or expenses of any kind whatsoever, including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and court costs ("<u>Losses</u>") suffered by the Client as the result of any act or omission by the Asset Manager in connection with, arising out of or relating to the performance of its services hereunder. The Client further agrees that no Covered Person shall be liable for any Losses caused, directly or indirectly, by any act or omission of the Client or any act or omission by a Custodian, any broker dealer to which the Asset Manager or the Client directs transactions for the Account, any third party service provider selected by the Asset Manager with reasonable care to act on behalf of the Client, or by any other non-party, unless such acts, omissions or other conduct is at the direction of the Asset Manager and the Asset Manager's direction constitutes a Disqualifying Action. Without limiting anything in this Section 11(a), in no case shall any Covered Persons be liable for any Losses caused, directly or indirectly, by the error, negligence or misconduct of a Custodian, broker, broker-dealer, exchange, staking validator, or other online platform or service (however described) (collectively, "<u>Platform</u>"), the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, administrative or similar proceeding involving a Platform, a pause in or suspension of withdrawals from a Platform (however described and for whatever reason), the hack of a Platform, or by any other cause that does not constitute a Covered Person's Disqualifying Action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Asset Manager and any person acting on its behalf shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon information, opinions, reports or statements of legal counsel (as to matters of law) and accountants (as to matters of accounting or tax) and, accordingly, such good faith reliance by a person shall not constitute a Disqualifying Action so long as such counsel or accountant is qualified and was selected and consulted with due care. Under no circumstances shall the Asset Manager or any Covered Person be liable for any special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, punitive, lost profits or indirect damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Covered Persons, against any Losses suffered or incurred by reason of, relating to, based upon, arising from or in connection with (directly or indirectly) (i) the operations, business or affairs of the Client, or any actions taken by the Asset Manager or failure by it to act (even if negligent) in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Losses arising as a result of any operational errors committed by or erroneous instructions provided by the Client), (ii) a Disqualifying Action by the Client, or (iii) the Client's breach of this Agreement, in each case except to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, upon entry of a final judgment, to be attributable to a Disqualifying Action of such Covered Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Client shall, upon the request of any Covered Person, advance or promptly reimburse such Covered Person's out-of-pocket costs of investigation (whether internal or external), litigation or appeal, including attorneys' reasonable and documented fees and disbursements, reasonably incurred in responding to, litigating or endeavoring to settle any claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding, whether or not pending or threatened, and whether or not any Covered Person is a party, arising out of or in connection with or relating to the operations, business or affairs of the or in furtherance of the interests of the Client (a "<u>Claim</u>"); *provided* that the affected Covered Person shall, as a condition of such Covered Person's right to receive such advances and reimbursements, undertake in writing to promptly repay the applicable funds for all such advancements or reimbursements if a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such Covered Person is not then entitled to indemnification under this Section 11. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Claims from insurance coverage or any third-party source, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Client for any amounts previously paid to it by the Client in respect of such Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of any Claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Client, give written notice to the Client of the receipt of such Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; *provided*, that the failure of any Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Client of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Client is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Covered Person shall cooperate with the Client and its counsel in responding to, defending and endeavoring to settle any proceedings or Losses that may be subject to indemnification by the Client pursuant to this Section 11. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, if any proceeding is commenced against a Covered Person, the Client shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Client may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Client to such Covered Person of the Client's election to assume the defense thereof, the Client shall not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person without the consent of the Client (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in connection with the defense thereof. Without the Covered Person's consent, the Client will not consent to entry of any judgment in or enter into any settlement of any such action or proceeding which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by every claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The right of any Covered Person to indemnification as provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person's successors, assigns and legal representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Asset Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Client, its affiliates or their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the "<u>Client Covered Persons</u>"), against any Losses suffered or incurred by reason of, relating to, based upon, arising from or in connection with (directly or indirectly) a Disqualifying Action by the Asset Manager, including, without limitation, any breach of the Asset Manager's representations or obligations under this Agreement that constitutes a Disqualifying Action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) U.S. federal and state laws (including federal and state securities laws and federal fiduciary duties) may impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith; therefore, nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the undersigned may have under any applicable federal or state law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Confidentiality</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Asset Manager acknowledges that the Client is a publicly traded company. From time to time, in order to permit the Asset Manager to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement, the Client may provide the Asset Manager with non-public, proprietary information of the Client, whether in graphic, written, electronic or oral form ("<u>Client Confidential Information</u>"). The Asset Manager represents and warrants that it has policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material non-public information and the Asset Manager shall not disclose or cause to be disclosed any of the Client Confidential Information to any person except as otherwise required by any regulatory authority, law or regulation, or by legal process or use any of the Client Confidential Information for any purpose other than to provide the services to the Client as contemplated under this Agreement. Unless otherwise informed, neither the Asset Manager nor any of its personnel shall be deemed to possess Client Confidential Information during the "open trading windows" of the Client, as defined in the Client's insider trading policy. With respect to the Asset Manager's management of the Account Assets, the parties agree that (i) the Asset Manager shall not disclose the Investment Guidelines or Client Confidential Information publicly (and trading any asset held or traded by the Client is explicitly not a "public disclosure") and (ii) nothing herein is intended by either party to restrict the Asset Manager's ability, in any way whatsoever, to trade any asset held or traded by the Account in accordance with this Agreement, except that the Asset Manager shall not use the Investment Guidelines or the Client Confidential Information in bad faith to disadvantage the Client vis a vis the Other Accounts. The parties agree that nothing herein prevents or is intended to prevent the Asset Manager from operating its business and trading for Other Accounts as part of its normal course of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Client acknowledges that it may receive or have access to confidential proprietary information of the Asset Manager which is proprietary in nature and non-public, including, without limitation, information regarding the Asset Manager's investment methodologies, systems and forms, trade secrets and the like (the "Asset Manager's Confidential Information"). The Client agrees not to disclose or cause to be disclosed any of the Asset Manager's Confidential Information to any person or use any of the Asset Manager's Confidential Information for its own purposes or its own account, except in connection with its investment in the Account and except as otherwise required by any regulatory authority, law or regulation, or by legal process; *provided, however*, that the Client shall provide the Asset Manager with prior notice of any such disclosure and the circumstances surrounding such request so that the Asset Manager may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (acknowledging that no such protective order shall be required for any routine filings under the Securities Act). If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy by the disclosing party, the Client, in the written opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the Asset Manager, is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose the Asset Manager's Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Client may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Asset Manager's Confidential Information which such counsel advises the receiving party is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the receiving party exercise its best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Asset Manager's Confidential Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the Asset Manager to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Asset Manager's Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit the Client from voluntarily (or upon request) communicating with, or providing information to, any federal or state governmental agency including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any agency inspector general, regarding potential violations of law, rule, or regulation, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state laws or regulations, and nothing herein or any such other documents shall require the Client to notify the Asset Manager that it has made such reports or disclosures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Term and Survival; Exclusivity</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date and will, unless early terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13, continue in effect until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the "<u>Stated Termination Date</u>") and shall thereafter automatically renew for successive one-year terms commencing on the anniversary of the Effective Date (each, a "<u>Renewal Period</u>", and the period during which this Agreement is in effect, the "<u>Term</u>"), unless either Party provides written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder are not effective until the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Beginning on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Client (i) upon at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice to the Asset Manager if such termination is without the occurrence of an Asset Manager Cause Event (as defined below), such early termination shall be required to have been recommended by at least 80% of the members of the Client's board of directors (the "<u>Board of Directors</u>") and been approved by at least sixty six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the Client's shareholders and (ii) upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Asset Manager if such termination is due to the occurrence of an Asset Manager Cause Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Beginning on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Asset Manager (i) upon at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice to the Client if such termination is without the occurrence of a Client Cause Event (as defined below) and (ii) upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Client if such termination is due to the occurrence of a Client Cause Event. Such notices set forth in this Section 13(b) and 13(c) as applicable, shall each be referred to as a "<u>Termination Notice</u>".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) "<u>Client Cause Event</u>" means the occurrence of (i) a failure by the Client to pay fees and other compensation to the Asset Manager under the Agreement when due and such failure is not cured within five Business Days of the Client receiving written notice of such failure, (ii) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event (as defined below) with respect to the Client, or (iii) a material breach by the Client of the Agreement and such failure is not cured within thirty Business Days of the Client receiving written notice of such failure (if such failure is curable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) "<u>Asset Manager Cause Event</u>" means the occurrence of (i) any Disqualifying Action of the Asset Manager in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Account or the Client and such failure is not cured within thirty Business Days of the Client receiving written notice of such failure (if such failure is curable), (ii) any breach by the Asset Manager of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Investment Guidelines) that has a material adverse effect on the Account or the Client and such failure is not cured within thirty Business Days of the Client receiving written notice of such failure (if such failure is curable), or (iii) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Asset Manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) "<u>Insolvency Event</u>" for a Party means such Party is wound up or dissolved or there is appointed over it or a substantial portion of its assets a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer; or such Party (i) ceases to be able to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or enters into any composition or arrangement with, its creditors generally; (ii) applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar official) of such Party or of any substantial part of its properties or assets, or authorizes such an application or consent, or proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without its authorization or consent against such Party and continue undismissed for 60 days; (iii) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the application of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, insolvency or dissolution, or authorizes such application or consent, or proceedings to such end are instituted against such Party without such authorization, application or consent and are approved as properly instituted and remain undismissed for 60 days or result in adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency; or (iv) permits or suffers all or any substantial part of its properties or assets to be sequestered or attached by court order and the order remains undismissed for 60 days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the Stated Termination Date (i) for a Client Cause Event by the Asset Manager, or (ii) by the Client without the occurrence of an Asset Manager Cause Event, the Asset Manager shall be entitled to liquidated damages equal to eighty five percent (85%) of all fees and other compensation that would have reasonably accrued to the Asset Manager through the Stated Termination Date ("<u>Liquidated Damages</u>"). In the event the Agreement is terminated for an Asset Manager Cause Event by the Client, the Client shall be entitled to any and all damages and legal remedies arising from or in connection therewith including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, special, consequential, speculative and punitive damages, as well as lost future profits and business in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the Asset Manager becomes subject of a legal or regulatory order, including without limitation, this Agreement being deemed to be an advisory agreement under the Custody Rule (an "<u>Order</u>"), pursuant to which the Asset Manager is no longer permitted to carry out its business as conducted prior to such Order, the Asset Manager shall notify the Client promptly following the knowledge of such status change and suspend its performance of all obligations under the Agreement. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend this Agreement to become compliant with such Order or terminate the Agreement if no such amendment is possible; *provided, however*, that the terminating Party shall provide five (5) day prior written notice prior to any such termination resulting from an Order. Upon a termination of this Agreement resulting from an Order, the Asset Manager shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of all fees and other compensation that would have reasonably accrued to the Asset Manager through such termination date and have not been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Termination shall not affect liabilities or obligations incurred or arising from transactions initiated under this Agreement prior to such termination, including the provisions regarding arbitration, which shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon termination, it is the Client's responsibility to monitor the Account Assets and it is understood and acknowledged that the Asset Manager will have no further obligation to act or advise with respect to those Account Assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Beginning with the Effective Date, the Account Manager shall have the right to provide asset management services to, as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, with respect to Account Assets that consist of at least 50% of the aggregate value of the Client's assets (the "<u>Minimum Account AUM</u>") until the Minimum Account AUM is $1,000,000,000. On the first Business Day of each month, the Account Manager and the Client shall jointly determine the aggregate value of the Client's assets for purposes of calculating the Minimum Account AUM and jointly calculate the Minimum Account AUM and the value of the Account Assets. If the value of the Account Assets constitute less than the Minimum Account AUM, then the Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer sufficient assets into the Account so that the value of the Account Assets following such transfer shall equal the Minimum Account AUM. If the Client is unable to transfer sufficient assets into the Account so that the value of the Account Assets following such transfer is equal the Minimum Account AUM, the fees payable to the Asset Manager in respect of the relevant month will be adjusted to an amount of fee that would be payable to the Asset Manager under the Fee Schedule if the Minimum Account AUM had been observed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Electronic Delivery</u>. The Client hereby agrees and provides its consent to have the Asset Manager electronically deliver Account Communications. "Account Communications" means all current and future account statements; privacy statements; audited financial information, if applicable; this Agreement (including all supplements and amendments hereto); the Asset Manager's Privacy Notice and updates thereto; notices and other information, documents, data and records regarding the Account Assets. Electronic communications include e-mail delivery as well as electronically making available to the Client Account Communications on the Asset Manager's Internet site, if applicable. By signing this Agreement, the Client consents to electronic delivery as described in the preceding three sentences. It is the Client's affirmative obligation to notify the Asset Manager in writing if the Client's email address changes. The Client may revoke or restrict its consent to electronic delivery of Account Communications at any time by notifying the Asset Manager, in writing, of the Client's intention to do so. Neither the Asset Manager nor its affiliates will be liable for any interception of Account Communications.

This communication constitutes a "Confirmation" as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions (the "**FX Definitions**") and the ISDA Digital Asset Derivatives Definitions (the "**Digital Asset Definitions**" and together with the FX Definitions, the "**Definitions**"), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. Except where otherwise indicated, in the event of any inconsistency between the Digital Asset Definitions and the FX Definitions, the Digital Asset Definitions will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.

This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall supplement, form part of, and be subject to, an agreement (which shall survive the termination of this Transaction) (the "**Agreement**") in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the "**ISDA Form**") as if, on the Trade Date specified below, we had executed the Agreement in such form with CDRW as Party A and 180SPV as Party B, but without any Schedule, except for the following and subject to the elections and modifications set forth elsewhere in this Confirmation:

(a) for all purposes of Section 5(a):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) with respect to Party A, the term "**Specified Entity** "

WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION, TO THE FULLEST

any incremental tokens generated as a result of a Hard Fork in the relevant Crypto Asset protocol or an Applicable Airdrop that results
in a second token (the "  ***New Token***") being created only if the following two conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Market Capitalization*: the average market capitalization of the New Token (defined as the total
value of all New Tokens) on the 30th day following the occurrence the Hard Fork or Applicable Airdrop (calculated as a 30-day average
on such date) is at least 5% of the average market capitalization of the Posted Collateral comprised of Crypto Assets (defined as the
total value of the Posted Collateral comprised of Crypto Assets) (calculated as a 30-day average on such date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *24-Hour Trading Volume*: the average 24-hour trading volume of the New Token on the 30th day following
the occurrence the Hard Fork or Applicable Airdrop (calculated as a 30-day average on such date) is at least 1% of the average 24-hour
trading volume of the Posted Collateral comprised of Crypto Assets (calculated as a 30-day average on such date).

For the above calculations, the source for the relevant data on the Crypto Asset market capitalization, and 24-Hour trading volume will be blockchain.info or, if blockchain.info does not provide the required information, then bitinfocharts.com or, if neither blockchain.info nor bitinfocharts.com provide the required information, then coingecko.com and if none of the foregoing data sources provide the required information, the parties shall discuss in good faith to agree upon another data source).

If any New Tokens meet the criteria above (such New Tokens, "Qualifying New Tokens"), then, (i) in respect of Posted Collateral comprised of Crypto Assets, the Secured Party will have up to 60 days from the Hard Fork or Applicable Airdrop to transfer the Qualifying New Tokens to Pledgor.

"***Airdrop***" means a distribution of a new token or tokens resulting from the ownership of a separate pre-existing token. An "***Applicable Airdrop***" is an Airdrop for which the distribution of new tokens can be definitively calculated according to its distribution method, such as a pro rata distribution based on the amount of the relevant Crypto Asset held at a specified time. A "Non-Applicable Airdrop" is an Airdrop for which the distribution of new tokens cannot be definitively calculated, such as a random distribution, a distribution to every wallet of the relevant Crypto Asset, or a distribution that depends on a wallet of the relevant Crypto Asset meeting a threshold requirement.

(h)  ***Distributions and Interest Amount.*** 

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)  ***Interest Rate.*** The "  ***Interest Rate***" with respect to Eligible Collateral

in Federal Reserve Publication H.15 (519) or any successor publication as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

practicable but no later than the fifth Local Business Day after the end of the relevant Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)  ***Definition of Interest Period.*** The definition of "Interest Period" in Paragraph
12 shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

***""Interest Period"*** means the period from the first day of a calendar month to the last day of such calendar month, each inclusive."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)  ***Alternative to Interest Amount.*** The provisions of Paragraph 6(d)(ii) (*Interest Amount*)
will not apply.

(i)  ***Other Eligible Support and Other Posted Support. "Value"*** and  ***"Transfer"*** with respect to Other Eligible Support and Other Posted Support each means: Not applicable.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

![](ex99-1_001.jpg)

**ETHZilla Announces ETH Accumulation and Leadership Updates**

*Company has accumulated 102,246 ETH at an average acquisition price of $3,948.72, valued at approximately $443 million*

*McAndrew Rudisill appointed as Chief Executive Officer, will continue to serve as<br> Chairman*

*Provides update on previously announced stock repurchase program*

**Palm Beach, FL – September 8, 2025 –** ETHZilla Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHZ), (the "Company" or "ETHZilla"), today announced it now has total holdings of 102,246 ****Ether ("ETH") at an average acquisition price of $3,948.72, which is now valued at approximately $443 million. In addition to the ETH, ETHZilla holds approximately $213 million in USD cash equivalents.

**Update on Stock Repurchase Program**

ETHZilla announced that it has entered into an over-the counter ("OTC") transaction with Cumberland DRW to obtain up to $80 million, collateralized by a portion of the Company's holdings of ETH. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from this transaction to fund repurchases of common stock under the Company's previously announced $250 million stock repurchase program.

The Company has repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares at an average price of $2.50, reducing shares outstanding by 1.3%.

"This deal with Cumberland strengthens our ability to execute on our stock repurchase program and underscores our commitment to disciplined capital allocation," said McAndrew Rudisill, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With our shares currently trading at a significant discount to NAV, we believe repurchasing shares is opportunistic and an accretive use of capital. We intend to take advantage of this market disparity while maintaining flexibility to pursue broader strategic objectives. I'm excited to lead ETHZilla into its next stage of growth as CEO and would like to thank Blair Jordan for his leadership and contributions."

**ETH Accumulation Update**
