days’ notice to the Sponsor upon which date such resignation shall be effective.

 

SECTION 2.2 Powers. Except to the extent expressly set

duty and authority the Sponsor may further delegate as provided herein, all pursuant to Section 3806(b)(7) of the Delaware Trust

The Sponsor shall reasonably keep the Trustee informed of any actions taken by the Sponsor with respect to the Trust that would
reasonably be expected to affect the rights, obligations or liabilities of the Trustee hereunder or under the Delaware Trust Statute.

other experts) and (iii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents
of the Trustee (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims,
actions, suits, costs, expenses, disbursements (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel including legal fees and
expenses in connection with the enforcement of its indemnification rights hereunder), taxes and penalties of any kind and nature

or termination of the Trust or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Trust shall not be required to
indemnify any Indemnified Person for any Expenses which are a result of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence

trust for tax purposes, Expenses to be incurred by an Indemnified Person shall, from time to time, be advanced by, or on behalf
of, Sponsor prior to the final disposition of any matter upon receipt by Osprey of an undertaking by, or on behalf of, such Indemnified
Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this
Agreement.

 

(ii)        As security for any amounts owing to the Trustee hereunder,
the Trustee shall have a lien against the Trust property, which lien shall be prior to the rights of the Sponsor, or any other
beneficial owner of the Trust. The obligations of the Trust and the Sponsor to indemnify the Indemnified Persons under this Section
2 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.5 Successor Trustee. Upon the resignation
or removal of the Trustee, the Sponsor shall appoint a successor Trustee by delivering a written instrument to the outgoing Trustee.

to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, to
the fullest extent permitted by law without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto.

provided in this Article, in accepting the trust created hereby, Delaware Trust Company acts solely as Trustee hereunder and not
in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against Delaware Trust Company by reason of the transactions contemplated
by this Trust Agreement and any other agreement to which the Trust is a party shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment
or satisfaction thereof.

the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) therein or thereby;

    	9

    	

    

(xii)      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the Trustee shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of
such action will (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration
with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Delaware, (ii) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof in existence as of the date hereof other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Trustee or (iii)
subject the Trustee to personal jurisdiction, other than in the State of Delaware, for causes of action arising from personal
acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby; and

 

(xiii)     To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee
has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust, the Unitholders or to any other Person,
the Trustee acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust, the Unitholders or to any other Person for its
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they
restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.

 

(xiv)     The Trustee shall not be liable for punitive, exemplary,
consequential, special or similar damages however styled, including without limitation, lost profits, or for any losses due to
forces beyond the control of the Trustee, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection,
revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services provided to the Trustee by third parties.

 

SECTION 2.7 Reliance; Advice of Counsel.

 

(a)        In
the absence of bad faith, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement in determining the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions contained therein, and shall incur no liability to anyone in acting or not acting on any signature, instrument,
notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to
be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter
pertaining to or in any such document; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have examined any certificates or
opinions so as to reasonably determine compliance of the same with the requirements of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee may
accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As
to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Trustee may for
all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer or other
authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection
to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(b)        In the exercise or administration of the Trust hereunder
and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement, the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust (i)
may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them,
and the Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees if such agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care and (ii) may consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care by it. The Trustee shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountant or other
such Persons.

 

SECTION 2.8 Payments to the Trustee. Any amounts paid
to the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Estate immediately after such payment. Any
amounts owing to the Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall constitute a claim against the Trust Estate. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement, all payments to the Trustee, including fees, expenses and any amounts paid in
connection with indemnification of the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement will be payable only in U.S.
Dollars.

 

ARTICLE III

 

UNITS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CREATIONS AND ISSUANCE OF
UNITS

 

SECTION 3.1 General. The Sponsor shall have the power
and authority, without Unitholder approval, to issue Units from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. The number of
Units authorized shall be unlimited, and the Units so authorized may be represented in part by fractional Units, calculated to
one one-hundred-millionth of one Bitcoin. From time to time, the Sponsor may divide or combine the Units into a greater or lesser
number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests. The Sponsor may issue Units in exchange for contributions
of Bitcoin or cash (or for no consideration if pursuant to a Unit dividend or split-up), all without action or approval of the
Unitholders. All Units when so issued on the terms determined by the Sponsor shall be fully paid and non-assessable. Every Unitholder,
by virtue of having purchased or otherwise acquired a Unit, shall be deemed to have expressly consented and agreed to be bound
by the terms of this Trust Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.2 Offer of Units; Procedures for Creation.

 

(a)        General.
The following procedures, as supplemented by the more detailed procedures specified in the Exhibits, annexes, attachments and
procedures, as applicable, to the Subscription Agreement, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of the Subscription Agreement (and any such amendment will not constitute an amendment of this Trust Agreement),
will govern the Trust with respect to the creation and issuance of Units. Subject to the limitations upon and requirements
for issuance of Units stated herein and in such procedures, the number of Units which may be issued by the Trust is
unlimited.

 

(i)        On any Business Day, a Purchaser may deposit the Bitcoin
Purchase Amount with the Custodian and submit an order to create Units (a “Purchase Order”) from the Trust
via notification to the Sponsor or its delegate in the manner provided in the Subscription Agreement. Creation Orders must be
received by 3:00 p.m., Eastern time on a Business Day (the “Purchase

    	11

    	

    

Order Date”). The Sponsor or its delegate will
process Purchase Orders only from Purchasers with respect to whom a Subscription Agreement is in full force and effect.

 

(ii)        Any Purchase Order is subject to rejection by the Sponsor
or its delegate pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

 

(iii)       After receiving the Bitcoin Purchase Amount and accepting
a Purchaser’s Purchase Order, the Sponsor or its delegate will have the Transfer Agent credit the Units to fill the Purchaser’s
Purchase Order within one Business Day immediately following the Purchase Order Date.

 

(iv)       Determination
of Units Issue. The number of Units to be issued with respect to the Bitcoin Purchase amount shall be determined using
the most recently available Bitcoin Market Price. Each Unit will be worth $5.00 at inception of the Trust. The Sponsor or its
delegate has final determination of all questions as to the determination of the number of Units issuable with respect to a
particular Bitcoin Purchase Amount.

 

(v)        Delivery
of Required Deposits. A Purchaser who places a Purchase Order shall deliver the Bitcoin Purchase Amount to the (i)
Bitcoin Account, the Trust Storage Account, the Trust Safekeeping Account, at the Sponsor’s instruction or (ii) a cash
denominated account, at the direction of the Sponsor or its delegate, in each case by no later than 6:00 p.m., Eastern time
on the Purchase Order Day. If the Bitcoin Purchase Amount is denominated in Bitcoin, the Purchaser may only initiate delivery
of the Bitcoin Purchase Amount from a Participant Self-Administered Account. Such Bitcoin denominated Bitcoin Purchase Amount
deposits other than those received from a Participant Self-Administered Account shall be rejected. The expense and risk of
delivery, ownership and safekeeping of Bitcoins, until such Bitcoins have been received by the Trust, shall be borne solely
by the Purchaser. Upon receipt of the Bitcoin Purchase Amount, the Custodian or delegated agent, as the case may be, shall
transfer the Bitcoin Purchase Amount to the Trust Storage Account, the Trust Safekeeping Account or a cash account, as
applicable. The Sponsor or its delegate shall then direct the Transfer Agent to credit the number of Units ordered to the
Purchaser’s account on the next Business Day after the Purchase Order Date.

 

(vi)       The Custodian may accept delivery of Bitcoins by such
other means as the Sponsor, from time to time, may determine to be acceptable for the Trust.

 

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
3.2, the Sponsor shall have the authority to issue Units, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 504 under the Securities Act, under
such terms and conditions as are disclosed to purchasers in the relevant offering documents and as the Sponsor deems necessary
or advisable to comply with applicable law or regulation.

 

(b)        Rejection.
The delivery of the Units against deposit of the Bitcoin Purchase Amount may be suspended generally, or refused with respect
to particular requested creations, during any period when the transfer books of the Sponsor or its delegate are closed or if
any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Sponsor or its delegate or for any reason at any time

    	12

    	

    

or from time to time. None of the Sponsor, its delegates, or
the Custodian shall be liable for the rejection or acceptance of any Purchase Order or Bitcoin Purchase Amount.

 

SECTION 3.3 Book-Entry-Only System.

 

(a)        Units shall be held in book-entry form by the Transfer
Agent. The Sponsor or its delegate shall direct the Transfer Agent (which may be the Sponsor or an Affiliate) to credit or debit
the number of Units to the applicable Purchaser. The Transfer Agent shall issue or cancel each Purchaser’s Units, as applicable.

 

(c)        Secondary
or Successor Custodian. If a successor to the Custodian shall be employed, the Trust and the Sponsor shall establish
procedures acceptable to such successor with respect to the matters addressed in this Section.

 

SECTION 3.4 Assets of the Trust. The Trust Estate shall
irrevocably belong to the Trust for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors of the Trust and except as may otherwise
be required by applicable tax laws, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Trust.

 

SECTION 3.5 Liabilities of the Trust. The Trust Estate
shall be charged with the liabilities of the Trust; and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to the Trust. The
Sponsor shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated
as income and which items as capital, and each such determination and allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Unitholders.

 

SECTION 3.6 Distributions.

 

(d)        Distributions on Units, if any, may be paid with such frequency
as the Sponsor may determine, which may be daily or otherwise, to the Unitholders from the Trust Estate, after providing for actual
and accrued liabilities. All distributions on Units thereof shall be distributed pro rata to the Unitholders in proportion to
the total outstanding Units held by such Unitholders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such distribution.
Such distributions may be made in cash or Units as determined by the Sponsor or pursuant to any program that the Sponsor may have
in effect at the time for the election by each Unitholder of the mode of the making of such distribution to that Unitholder.

 

(e)        The Units shall represent units of beneficial interest
in the Trust Estate. Each Unitholder shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of distributions in accordance with Section
3.6(a).

 

SECTION 3.7 Voting Rights. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, on each matter submitted to a vote of the Unitholders, each Unitholder shall be entitled to a single vote for
each Unit held by such Person, or a proportionate fraction thereof if such Unit is fractional, with the number of Units held by
such Person determined by the number of Units in its name on the books of the Trust in accordance with Section 3.3.

 

SECTION 3.8 Equality. All Units shall represent an equal
proportionate beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust subject to the liabilities of the Trust, and each Unit shall be equal
to each other Unit. The Sponsor may from time to time divide or combine the Units into a greater or lesser number

    	13

    	

    

of Units without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial
interest in the assets of the Trust or in any way affecting the rights of Unitholders.

 

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.1 Management of the Trust. Pursuant to Section
3806(b)(7) of the Delaware Trust Statute, the Trust shall be managed by the Sponsor in accordance with this Trust Agreement. The
Sponsor may delegate as provided herein, the duty and authority to manage the affairs of the Trust. Any determination as to what
is in the interests of the Trust made by the Sponsor in good faith shall be conclusive. In constructing the provisions of this

this Trust Agreement shall not be construed as limiting the aforesaid power.

 

SECTION 4.2 Authority of Sponsor. In addition to and
not in limitation of any rights and powers conferred by law or other provisions of this Trust Agreement, and except as limited,
restricted or prohibited by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement or the Delaware Trust Statute, the Sponsor shall have

such services is qualified to do so (considering the prior experience of the Affiliate or the individuals employed thereby);
(B) the terms and conditions of the agreement pursuant to which such Affiliate is to perform services for the Trust are no
less favorable to the Trust than could be obtained from equally-qualified unaffiliated third parties; and (C) the maximum

year, and such agreement shall be terminable without penalty upon one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written

be necessary to effectuate such trading; and

 

(h)        In the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, to

to the obligations expressly provided by the Delaware Trust Statute or this Trust Agreement, the Sponsor shall:

may reasonably be taken which are necessary for the Units to remain traded on the OTCQX until the Trust is either terminated or
if the Units are no longer traded on the OTCQX. In addition, the Sponsor is authorized and shall take, all actions to prepare
and, to the extent required by this Agreement or by law, mail to Unitholders any reports, press releases or statements, financial

The foregoing clauses shall be construed both as objects and
powers, and the foregoing enumeration of specific powers shall not be held to limit or restrict in any manner the general powers

length negotiations;

    	17

    	

    

(i)         Cause the Trust to elect to be treated as an association
taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

SECTION 4.5 Liability of Covered Persons. A Covered
Person shall have no liability to the Trust or to any Unitholder or other Covered Person for any loss suffered by the Trust which
arises out of any action or inaction of such Covered Person if such Covered Person, in good faith, determined that such course
of conduct was in the best interest of the Trust and such course of conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of such Covered Person. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Sponsor nor any other Covered Person shall
be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any portion of the capital or profits of any Unitholder or assignee
thereof, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital or profits made pursuant to this Trust Agreement shall be made
solely from the assets of the Trust without any rights of contribution from the Sponsor or any other Covered Person. A Covered
Person shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of any delegatee selected by the Sponsor with reasonable care.

 

SECTION 4.6 Fiduciary Duty.

 

(a)        To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Sponsor has
duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust, the Unitholders or to any other Person, the
Sponsor acting under this Trust Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust, the Unitholders or to any other Person for its good
faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement subject to the standard of care in Section 4.6 herein. The provisions
of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Sponsor otherwise existing
at law or in equity are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Sponsor. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, no person other than the Sponsor and the Trustee shall have any duties (including fiduciary duties) or
liabilities at law or in equity to the Trust and the Unitholder or any other person.

 

(b)        Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

 

(i)         whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between
the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Trust or any Unitholder or any other Person, on the other hand;
or

 

(ii)        whenever this Trust Agreement or any other agreement contemplated
herein or therein provides that the Sponsor shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to
the Trust, any Unitholder or any other Person, the Sponsor shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide
such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement,
transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices,
and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Sponsor, the resolution,
action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Sponsor shall not constitute a breach of this Trust Agreement or any other agreement
contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Sponsor at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

(c)        The Sponsor and any Affiliate of the Sponsor may engage
in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description, independently or

    	18

    	

    

with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive with
the Trust and the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to the Sponsor. If the Sponsor
acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Trust,
it shall have no duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Trust, and the Sponsor shall not be liable to the Trust
or to the Unitholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that the Sponsor pursues or acquires for,
or directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Trust. Neither the
Trust nor any Unitholder shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Trust Agreement or the trust relationship created
hereby in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits or losses derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures,
even if competitive with the purposes of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Except to the extent expressly provided
herein, the Sponsor may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Trust, the Unitholders or any Affiliate
of the Trust or the Unitholders.

 

(d)        To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise,
whenever in this Trust Agreement a Person is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion”
or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Person shall be entitled to consider only such
interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration
to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust, the Unitholders or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith”
or under another express standard, the Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different
standard. The term “good faith” as used in this Trust Agreement shall mean subjective good faith as such term is understood
and interpreted under Delaware law.

 

SECTION 4.7 Indemnification of the Sponsor.

 

(a)        The Sponsor shall be indemnified by the Trust against any
losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by it in connection with its activities
for the Trust, provided that (i) the Sponsor was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Trust and such liability or
loss was not the result of fraud, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Trust Agreement
on the part of the Sponsor and (ii) any such indemnification will only be recoverable from the Trust Estate. All rights to indemnification
permitted herein and payment of associated expenses shall not be affected by the dissolution or other cessation to exist of the
Sponsor, or the withdrawal, adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Sponsor, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary
petition in bankruptcy under Title 11 of the Code by or against the Sponsor.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.7(a) above,
the Sponsor and any Person acting as broker-dealer for the Trust shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses
arising from or out of an alleged violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication
on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves
the indemnification of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs), (ii) such claims have been dismissed with
prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court approves the indemnification
of such expenses (including, without limitation, litigation

    	19

    	

    

costs) or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves
a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs
should be made.

 

(c)        The Trust shall not incur the cost of that portion of any
insurance which insures any party against any liability, the indemnification of which is herein prohibited.

 

(d)        Expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending
civil, administrative or criminal action suit or proceeding against the Sponsor shall be paid by the Trust in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, if (i) the legal action relates to the performance of duties or services by the
Sponsor on behalf of the Trust; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Unitholder or the legal action
is initiated by a Unitholder and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advance; and (iii) the Sponsor undertakes
to repay the advanced funds with interest to the Trust in cases in which it is not entitled to indemnification under this Section
4.7.

 

(e)        The term “Sponsor” as used only in this Section
4.7 shall include, in addition to the Sponsor, any other Covered Person performing services on behalf of the Trust and acting
within the scope of the Sponsor’s authority as set forth in this Trust Agreement.

 

(f)         In the event the Trust is made a party to any claim, dispute,
demand or litigation or otherwise incurs any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense as a result of or in connection with any
Unitholder’s (or assignee’s) obligations or liabilities unrelated to Trust business, such Unitholder (or assignees cumulatively)
shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless, and reimburse the Trust for all such loss, liability, damage, cost and expense incurred,
including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

 

SECTION 4.8 Expenses and Limitations Thereon.

 

(a)        Management Fee.

 

(i)         The Trust shall pay a Management Fee (“Management
Fee”) which accrues daily at an annual rate of 0.49% of the NAV of the Trust and is payable to the Sponsor monthly in
arrears.

 

(ii)        Although the Management Fee is calculated in USD, the
Management Fee shall be paid in the equivalent number of Bitcoins monthly in arrears. The exchange rate that shall be used to
convert the Management Fee from USD to the appropriate number of Bitcoins shall be calculated based upon the Bitcoin Market Price
at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time in the case of daily accruals and as of the last day of each month for withdrawal and payment in arrears
(“Management Fee Exchange Rate”). The Management Fee Exchange Rate does not include fees and expenses for converting
USD into Bitcoins.

 

(iii)       After converting the Management Fee from USD into the
required number of Bitcoins based upon the Actual Exchange Rate, the Sponsor, its delegates, or the Custodian shall withdraw the
corresponding number of Bitcoins from the Trust Storage Account.

    	20

    	

    

(iv)       In order to pay the Management Fee in USD, the Sponsor
may be required to convert the Management Fee, as reflected by the appropriate number of Bitcoins, into USD. The Sponsor shall
use its best efforts within a reasonable time frame in order to seek the Actual Exchange Rate. It is expected that the Management
Fee Exchange Rate and the Actual Exchange Rate may differ.

 

(v)        At the Sponsor’s election, the Sponsor may elect to (i)
direct its delegates or the Custodian to withdraw the Bitcoin amount comprising the Management Fee, (ii) convert the Management
Fee to USD and (iii) pay such dollar amount to the Sponsor, who will then pay itself as well as the relevant Assumed Expenses
(as defined below). Alternatively, the Sponsor may elect to (i) direct its delegates or the Custodian to withdraw the Bitcoin
amount comprising the Management Fee, (ii) convert the Management Fee to USD and (iii) pay certain Assumed Expenses from the Management
Fee and the remaining amount, if any, to the Sponsor.

 

(vi)       As consideration for receipt of the Management Fee, the
Sponsor shall assume and pay all routine and ordinary administrative and operating expenses of the Trust (the “Assumed
Expenses”) other than audit fees, index license fees, aggregate legal fees in excess of $50,000 and the fees of the
Custodian (the “Excluded Expenses”) and Extraordinary Expenses (as defined below).

 

(b)        Extraordinary
Expenses. In certain extraordinary circumstances, the Trust may pay expenses in addition to the Management Fee and the
Excluded Expenses, such as, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs, expenses and indemnities
related to any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other Service Provider, including the Trustee) on
behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust or the interests of Unitholders, indemnification expenses, fees and expenses related
to public trading on OTCQX (collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”).

 

(c)        The Sponsor, its delegates or the Custodian shall withdraw
Bitcoins as needed from the Trust Storage Account to pay the Management Fees (as well as the Excluded Expenses and Extraordinary
Expenses, if any).

 

The Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor may only be reimbursed
for the actual cost to the Sponsor or such Affiliate of any expenses which it advances on behalf of the Trust for which payment
the Trust is responsible. In addition, payment to the Sponsor or such Affiliate for indirect expenses incurred in performing services
for the Trust in its capacity as the Sponsor of the Trust, such as salaries and fringe benefits of officers and directors, rent
or depreciation, utilities and other administrative items generally falling within the category of the Sponsor’s “overhead,”
is prohibited.

 

SECTION 4.9 Business of Unitholders. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, any of the Unitholders and any shareholder, officer, director, employee or other person holding
a legal or beneficial interest in an entity which is a Unitholder, may engage in or possess an interest in business ventures of
every nature and description, independently or with others, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business
of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

    	21

    	

    

SECTION 4.10 Voluntary Withdrawal of the Sponsor. The
Sponsor may withdraw voluntarily as the Sponsor of the Trust only upon one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice
to all Unitholders and the Trustee. If the withdrawing Sponsor is the last remaining Sponsor, the Trust shall liquidate in accordance
with Section 12.1(a)(vi) hereof. In the event of its removal or withdrawal, the Sponsor shall be entitled to a redemption of its
Units at the Net Asset Value. If the Sponsor withdraws and a successor Sponsor is named, the withdrawing Sponsor shall pay all
expenses as a result of its withdrawal.

 

SECTION 4.11 Authorization of Memorandum. Each Unitholder
(or any permitted assignee thereof) hereby agrees that the Trust, the Sponsor and the Trustee are authorized to execute, deliver
and perform the agreements, acts, transactions and matters contemplated hereby or described in or contemplated by the Memorandum
on behalf of the Trust without any further act, approval or vote of the Unitholders, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, the Delaware Trust Statute or any applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

SECTION 4.12 Litigation. The Sponsor is hereby authorized
to prosecute, defend, settle or compromise actions or claims at law or in equity as may be necessary or proper to enforce or protect
the Trust’s interests. The Sponsor shall satisfy any judgment, decree or decision of any court, board or authority having jurisdiction
or any settlement of any suit or claim prior to judgment or final decision thereon, first, out of any insurance proceeds available
therefor, next, out of the Trust’s assets and, thereafter, out of the assets (to the extent that it is permitted to do so under
the various other provisions of this Agreement) of the Sponsor.

TRANSFER OF UNITS

 

SECTION 5.1 General Prohibition. A Unitholder may not
sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, hypothecate or in any manner encumber any or all of his Units or any
part of his right, title and interest in the capital or profits in the Trust except as permitted in this Article and any

have knowledge thereof), unless approved in writing by the Sponsor.

 

SECTION 5.2 Transfer of Sponsor’s Units.

 

(a)        Upon an Event of Withdrawal (as defined in Section 12.1(0),

filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, filing a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, filing an answer or other pleading
admitting or failing to contest material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature or seeking,

(b)        To the full extent permitted by law,
and on sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Unitholders, nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the
merger of the Sponsor with another corporation or other entity, the reorganization of the Sponsor into or with any other corporation
or other entity, the transfer of all the capital stock of the Sponsor or the assumption of the rights, duties and liabilities
of the Sponsor by, in the case of a merger, reorganization or consolidation, the surviving corporation or other entity by operation

referenced in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a voluntary withdrawal for purposes of Section 4.10 or an Event of
Withdrawal for purposes of Section 5.2(a).

 

SECTION 5.3 Transfer of Units. (a)
Except for Units originally offered and sold in a transaction pursuant to Rule 504 under the Securities Act and freely transferable
under applicable law or regulation, the Units are ‘restricted securities’ that cannot be resold, pledged, or otherwise
transferred without registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws or exemption therefrom and may not be resold,
pledged or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Sponsor, which it may withhold in its sole discretion
for any reason or for no reason. The Sponsor may provide such written consent in the Memorandum.

 

(b)        Units shall be transferable on the
books of account for the Trust only by the record holder thereof or by his or her duly authorized agent upon delivery to the Sponsor
or the Transfer Agent or similar agent of a duly authorized instrument of transfer, and such evidence if the genuineness of each
such execution of such other matters as may be required by the Sponsor. Upon such delivery, and subject to any further requirements
specified by the Sponsor, the transfer shall be recorded on the books of account for the Trust. Until a transfer is so recorded,
the Unitholder of record of the Units shall be deemed to be the Unitholder with respect to such Units for all purposes hereunder
and neither the Sponsor nor the Trust, the Transfer Agent nor any similar agent or registrar or any officer, employee or agent
of the Trust shall be affected by any notice of a proposed transfer.

 

ARTICLE VI

UNITHOLDERS

 

SECTION 7.1 No Management or Control;
Limited Liability; Exercise of Rights through a Participant. The Unitholders shall not participate in the management or control
of the Trust nor shall they enter into any transaction on behalf of the Trust or have the power to sign for or bind

    	23

    	

    

the Trust, said power being vested solely and exclusively in
the Sponsor. Except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof, no Unitholder shall be bound by, or be personally liable for, the expenses,
liabilities or obligations of the Trust in excess of his share of the Trust Estate. Except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof,
each Unit owned by a Unitholder shall be fully paid and no assessment shall be made against any Unitholder. No salary shall be
paid to any Unitholder in his capacity as a Unitholder, nor shall any Unitholder have a drawing account or earn interest on its
share of the Trust Estate. By the purchase and acceptance or other lawful delivery and acceptance of Units, each owner shall be
deemed to be a Unitholder and beneficiary of the Trust and vested with beneficial undivided interest in the Trust to the extent
of the Units owned beneficially by such Unitholder, subject to the terms and conditions of this Trust Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.2 Rights and Duties. The Unitholders shall
have the following rights, powers, privileges, duties and liabilities:

 

(a)        The Unitholders shall have the right to obtain from the
Sponsor information on all things affecting the Trust, provided that such is for a purpose reasonably related to the Unitholder’s
interest as a beneficial owner of the Trust.

 

(b)        The Unitholders shall receive the share of the distributions
provided for in this Trust Agreement in the manner and at the times provided for in this Trust Agreement.

 

(c)        Except for the Unitholders’ redemption rights set forth
in Article VI hereof, Unitholders shall have the right to demand the return of their capital only upon the dissolution and winding
up of the Trust and only to the extent of funds available therefor as provided in Section 12.2. In no event shall a Unitholder
be entitled to demand or receive property other than cash upon the dissolution and winding up of the Trust. No Unitholder shall
have priority over any other Unitholder as to distributions. The Unitholder shall not have any right to bring an action for partition
against the Trust.

 

(d)        Except as expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement,
the Unitholders shall have no voting or other rights with respect to the Trust.

 

SECTION 7.3 Limitation of Liability.

 

(a)        Except as provided in Section 4.7(f) hereof, and as otherwise
provided under Delaware law, the Unitholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders
of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of Delaware and no Unitholder shall be liable for
claims against, or debts of the Trust in excess of his share of the Trust Estate, except in the event that the liability is founded
upon misstatements or omissions contained in such Unitholder’s Participant Agreement delivered in connection with his purchase
of Units. In addition, and subject to the exceptions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trust shall not make
a claim against a Unitholder with respect to amounts distributed to such Unitholder or amounts received by such Unitholder upon
redemption unless, under Delaware law, such Unitholder is liable to repay such amount.

 

(b)        The Trust shall indemnify to the full extent permitted
by law and the other provisions of this Agreement, and to the extent of the applicable Trust Estate, each Unitholder against

    	24

    	

    

any claims of liability asserted against such Unitholder solely
because he is a beneficial owner of one or more Units as a Unitholder.

 

(c)        Every written note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate
or undertaking made or issued by the Sponsor shall give notice to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf
of the Trust and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon the Unitholders individually but are binding only
upon the assets and property of the Trust, and no resort shall be had to the Unitholders’ personal property for satisfaction of
any obligation or claim thereunder, and appropriate references may be made to this Trust Agreement and may contain any further
recital which the Sponsor deems appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind the Unitholders individually or
otherwise invalidate any such note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking. Nothing contained in this Section
7.3 shall diminish the limitation on the liability of the Trust to the extent set forth in Section 3.4 and 3.5 hereof.

 

SECTION 7.4 Derivative Actions.

 

In addition to any other requirements of applicable law including
Section 3816 of the Delaware Trust Statute, no Unitholder shall have the right, power or authority to bring or maintain a derivative
action, suit or other proceeding on behalf of the Trust unless two or more Unitholders who (i) are not affiliates of one another
and (ii) collectively hold at least 10% of the outstanding Units join in the bringing or maintaining of such action, suit or other
proceeding.

(a)        The Sponsor may, without the approval of the Unitholders,
make such amendments to this Trust Agreement which (i) are necessary to add to the representations, duties or obligations of the
Sponsor or surrender any right or power granted to the Sponsor herein, for the benefit of the Unitholders, (ii) are necessary
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein
or in the Memorandum, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust

Agreement or the Memorandum which will not be inconsistent
with the provisions of the Trust Agreement or the Memorandum, or (iii) the Sponsor deems advisable, provided, however, that no
amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this clause 10.1(a) unless the adoption thereof (A) is not adverse to the interests of
the Unitholders; (B) is consistent with Section 1.5 and Section 4.1 hereof; and (C) does not adversely affect the limitations
on liability of the Unitholders, as described in Article VII hereof or the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Amendments to this document which adversely affect (i) the rights of Unitholders, (ii) the appointment of
a new Sponsor pursuant to Section 4.2(h) above, (iii) the dissolution of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.1(a) below and (iv)
any material changes in the Trust’s purpose or structure shall occur only upon the written approval or affirmative vote of Unitholders
holding Units equal to at least a majority (over 50%) of the Units.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
Sections 10.1(a) hereof, the Sponsor may, without the approval of the Unitholders, amend the provisions of this Trust Agreement
if the Trust is advised at any time by the Trust’s accountants or legal counsel that the amendments made are necessary to ensure
that the Trust’s status as a grantor trust will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

(b)        Upon amendment of this Trust Agreement, the Certificate
of Trust shall also be amended, if required by the Delaware Trust Statute, to reflect such change. At the expense of the Sponsor,
the Trustee shall execute and file any amendment to the Certificate of Trust if so directed by the Sponsor.

 

(c)        No amendment affecting the rights or duties of the Trustee
shall be binding upon or effective against the Trustee unless consented to by the Trustee in writing. No amendment shall be made
to this Trust Agreement without the consent of the Trustee if the Trustee reasonably believes that such amendment adversely affects
any of the rights, duties or liabilities of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to execute any amendment to
the Trust Agreement or to any agreement to which the Trust is a party until it has received an instruction letter and certification
from the Sponsor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (i) directing the Trustee to execute such amendment,
(ii) representing and warranting to the Trustee that such execution is authorized and permitted by the terms of the Trust Agreement
and (if applicable) such other agreement to which the Trust is a party and does not conflict with or violate any other agreement

request from Unitholders representing the requisite percentage of Units. The Sponsor shall deposit in the United States mails,
within 15 days after receipt of said

    	27

    	

    

request, written notice to all Unitholders thereof of the meeting
and the purpose of the meeting, which shall be held on a date, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date of mailing
of said notice, at a reasonable time and place. Any notice of meeting shall be accompanied by a description of the action to be
taken at the meeting and an opinion of independent counsel as to the effect of such proposed action on the liability of Unitholders
for the debts of the Trust. Unitholders may vote in person or by proxy at any such meeting.

 

SECTION 10.3 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required
or permitted to be taken by Unitholders by vote may be taken without a meeting by written consent setting forth the actions so
taken. Such written consents shall be treated for all purposes as votes at a meeting. If the vote or consent of any Unitholder
to any action of the Trust or any Unitholder, as contemplated by this Trust Agreement, is solicited by the Sponsor, the solicitation
shall be effected by notice to each Unitholder given in the manner provided in Section 13.5. The vote or consent of each Unitholder
so solicited shall be deemed conclusively to have been cast or granted as requested in the notice of solicitation, whether or
not the notice of solicitation is actually received by that Unitholder, unless the Unitholder expresses written objection to the
vote or consent by notice given in the manner provided in Section 13.5 below and actually received by the Trust within 20 days
after the notice of solicitation is affected. The Covered Persons dealing with the Trust shall be entitled to act in reliance
on any vote or consent which is deemed cast or granted pursuant to this Section and shall be fully indemnified by the Trust in
so doing. Any action taken or omitted in reliance on any such deemed vote or consent of one or more Unitholders shall not be void
or voidable by reason of timely communication made by or on behalf of all or any of such Unitholders in any manner other than
as expressly provided in Section 13.5.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 13.1 Governing Law. The validity and construction
of this Trust Agreement and all amendments hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and the rights of all

    	30

    	

    

parties hereto and the effect of every provision hereof shall
be subject to and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof;
provided, however, that causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this
Section 13.1, and provided, further, that the parties hereto intend that the provisions hereof shall control over any contrary
or limiting statutory or common law of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute) and that, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, there shall not be applicable to the Trust, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Unitholders or this
Trust Agreement any provision of the laws (statutory or common) of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Trust Statute)
pertaining to trusts which relate to or regulate in a manner inconsistent with the terms hereof: (a) the filing with any court
or governmental body or agency of trustee accounts or schedules of trustee fees and charges, (b) affirmative requirements to post
bonds for trustees, officers, agents, or employees of a trust, (c) the necessity for obtaining court or other governmental approval
concerning the acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property, (d) fees or other sums payable to trustees, officers,
agents or employees of a trust, (e) the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income or principal, (f) restrictions or limitations
on the permissible nature, amount or concentration of trust investments or requirements relating to the titling, storage or other
manner of holding of trust assets, or (g) the establishment of fiduciary or other standards or responsibilities or limitations
on the acts or powers of trustees or managers that are inconsistent with the limitations on liability or authorities and powers
of the Trustee or the Sponsor set forth or referenced in this Trust Agreement. Section 3540 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code shall
not apply to the Trust. The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a “statutory trust,” and without limiting the
provisions hereof, but subject to Sections 1.5 and 1.6, the Trust may exercise all powers that are ordinarily exercised by such
a statutory trust under Delaware law. Subject to Sections 1.5 and 1.6, the Trust specifically reserves the right to exercise any
of the powers or privileges afforded to statutory trusts and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such power, privilege
or action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such power or privilege or take such actions.

 

SECTION 13.2 Provisions In Conflict With Law or Regulations.

 

(a)        The provisions of this Trust Agreement are severable, and
if the Sponsor shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any one or more of such provisions (the “Conflicting
Provisions”) are in conflict with the Code, the Delaware Trust Statute or other applicable U.S. federal or state laws
or the rules and regulations of the OTCQX, the Conflicting Provisions shall be deemed never to have constituted a part of this
Trust Agreement, even without any amendment of this Trust Agreement pursuant to this Trust Agreement; provided, however, that
such determination by the Sponsor shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions of this Trust Agreement or render
invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination. No Sponsor or Trustee shall be liable for making
or failing to make such a determination.

 

(b)        If any provision of this Trust Agreement shall be held
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such holding shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Trust Agreement in any jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 13.3 Merger and Consolidation. The Sponsor may
cause (i) the Trust to be merged into or consolidated with, converted to or to sell all or substantially all of its assets to,

    	31

    	

    

another trust or entity; (ii) the Units of the Trust to be
converted into beneficial interests in another statutory trust (or series thereof); or (iii) the Units of the Trust to be exchanged
for units in another trust or company under or pursuant to any U.S. state or federal statute to the extent permitted by law. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor, with written notice to the Unitholders, may approve and effect any of the transactions contemplated
under (i) — (iii) above without any vote or other action of the Unitholders.

 

SECTION 13.4 Construction. In this Trust Agreement,
unless the context otherwise requires, words used in the singular or in the plural include both the plural and singular and words
denoting any gender include all genders. The title and headings of different parts are inserted for convenience and shall not
affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Trust Agreement.

 

SECTION 13.5 Notices. All notices or communications
under this Trust Agreement (other than notices of pledge or encumbrance of Units, and reports and notices by the Sponsor to the
Unitholders) shall be in writing and shall be effective upon personal delivery, or if sent by mail, postage prepaid, or if sent
electronically, by facsimile or by overnight courier; and addressed, in each such case, to the address set forth in the books
and records of the Trust or such other address as may be specified in writing, of the party to whom such notice is to be given,

                                         OF CUSTODY ACCOUNTS AND APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN

 

	A.	Custody Accounts. The Client authorizes,
                                         approves and directs the Custodian to establish and maintain on its books, in the name
                                         of the Client, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

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

 

		ii.	one or more cash accounts (each a
                                         “Cash Custody Account”, and, together with the Digital Asset
                                         Custody Accounts, the “Custody Account”), each corresponding
                                         to a Digital Asset Custody Account, to hold cash and monies received for deposit for
                                         the account of the Client (“Cash”) in accordance with the terms
                                         of this Agreement. Cash held for the Client in Cash Custody Accounts may be held by the
                                         Custodian in an omnibus, non-interest bearing cash account, along with the Cash of other
                                         customers of the Custodian, at an unaffiliated depository in the name of the Custodian,
                                         specifically designated for the purpose of holding funds of the Custodian’s customers.
                                         The Custodian may hold Cash in a Cash Custody Account subject to and in accordance with
                                         applicable local law, rules or practices. The establishment of the Custody Account in
                                         the name of the Client shall be subject to successful completion of the Custodian’s
                                         screening procedures.

 

	B.	Digital Asset Segregation.

    	3

    	

    

		i.	Digital Assets in the Digital Asset
                                         Custody Account will be held through an omnibus wallet structure, along with the Digital
                                         Assets of other customers of the Custodian (an “Omnibus Wallet”).
                                         The Client agrees that the Digital Assets that are transferred by the Client to the Custodian
                                         or acquired by the Client through Trade Orders (“Client Digital Assets”)
                                         will be treated as fungible with those Digital Assets of other clients of the Custodian
                                         that are based on the same cryptographic protocol or consensus rules of a computer network
                                         (subject to Schedule 3) that are also held in the Omnibus Wallet by the Custodian on
                                         behalf of such other clients. The Client acknowledges that the redelivery rights of the
                                         Client in respect of the Client Digital Assets are not necessarily for the same Digital
                                         Assets as the Client Digital Assets (or addresses or accounts that are associated with
                                         the Client Digital Asset), but rather will be in respect of an equal amount of Digital
                                         Assets that are based on the same cryptographic protocol or consensus rules of a computer
                                         network (subject to Schedule 3) as the Client Digital Asset. The Custodian will manage
                                         all associated private keys on behalf of the Client, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

	D.	Designation of Assets. The Custodian
                                         shall on its books and records segregate all Digital Assets from the proprietary property
                                         of the Custodian; provided that the Custodian may maintain in the Omnibus Wallet
                                         an amount of proprietary Digital Assets that are used for operational or other purposes.
                                         The ownership of all of the Client’s Assets shall be clearly recorded in the Custodian’s
                                         books and records as belonging to the Client.

 

	E.	Status of Custodian. The Custodian
                                         is a limited liability company and its capacity under this Agreement shall be:

 

		i.	a bailee with respect to any Digital
                                         Asset Custody Account and any Digital Assets in such Digital Asset Custody Account;

	3.	TRANSFER OF ASSETS

 

	A.	Credits to the Digital Asset Custody
                                         Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Client may transfer Eligible
                                         Assets from an external provider or other third parties to the Digital Asset Custody
                                         Account. In advance of any such transfer from an external provider or other third party,
                                         the Client shall send the Custodian the applicable Proper Instructions in accordance
                                         with Section 5.B (a “Digital Asset Credit Request”). The Custodian
                                         is not obligated to credit any Digital Assets to the Digital Asset Custody Account before
                                         the Custodian actually receives such Digital Assets by final settlement.

 

		i.	The Custodian, upon receiving the
                                         Digital Asset Credit Request and verifying that such request complies with Section 5.B,
                                         will generate and deliver to the Client a recipient address and complete any Delivery
                                         to the Digital Asset Custody Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the
                                         Digital Assets at the recipient address specified by the Custodian to the Client (or
                                         at an address previously specified by the Custodian to the Client and not subsequently
                                         identified to the Client as invalid), subject to successful completion of the Custodian’s
                                         screening procedures. If a Digital Asset Credit Request is received after the Cut-off-Time
                                         on a Business Day, such Delivery will be completed within two (2) Business Days of the
                                         following Business Day. Delivery to the Digital Asset Custody Account is subject to the
                                         payment of the Custodian’s fees as specified in the Fee Schedule.

 

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

 

	B.	Debits to the Digital Asset Custody
                                         Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Client may Deliver Eligible
                                         Assets from the Digital Asset Custody Account by sending the Custodian the applicable
                                         Proper Instructions in accordance with Section 5.B (a “Digital Asset Debit
                                         Request”).

 

		i.	The Custodian, upon receiving the
                                         Digital Asset Debit Request and verifying that such request complies with Section 5.B,
                                         will initiate the transfer and broadcast the Digital Asset Debit Requests to the blockchain
                                         supporting the relevant Eligible Asset within two (2) Business Days after the Custodian
                                         receives such Digital Asset Debit Request, subject to successful completion of the Custodian’s
                                         screening procedures.

 

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

 

		iii.	If the Custodian has received a
                                         Digital Asset Debit Request that would result in the transfer of Assets from the Custody
                                         Account exceeding the credit to the Custody Account for that Asset, the Custodian may,
                                         in its sole and absolute discretion, reject such Instructions.

 

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

                                         the Client or in the name of a third party in connection with the Client’s purchase

	 	i.	The Custodian, upon receiving the Cash Debit Request and verifying that such request complies with Section 5.B, will complete
any transfer from the Cash Custody Account on the Business Day in which the Cash Debit Request was received, provided that it
was received by the Cut-off Time. If a Cash Debit Request is received after the Cut-off-Time, such request may need to be resubmitted
on another Business Day. Transfers from the Cash Custody Account are subject to fees specified in the Fee Schedule.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		ii.	The
                                         Custodian may act upon and rely upon any Proper Instruction received from, or believed
                                         in good faith by the Custodian to be received from, an Authorized Person, that have been
                                         validated in accordance with procedures in place from time to time, unless or until the
                                         Custodian has (i) received written notice of any change thereto from the Client and (ii)
                                         had a reasonable time to note and implement such change. Validation procedures used by
                                         the Custodian are designed only to verify the source of the Instruction and not to detect
                                         errors in the content of that Instruction or to prevent duplicate Instructions. The Client
                                         agrees that the Custodian shall have no obligation to act in accordance with

    	7

    	

    

purported Instructions to the extent
that they conflict with applicable Law. The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from a delay while it obtains
clarification of any Proper Instructions. The Client agrees that the Custodian is not responsible for any errors made by or on
behalf of the Client, any errors resulting, directly or indirectly, from fraud or the duplication of any Instruction by or on
behalf of the Client, or any losses resulting from the malfunctioning of any devices used by the Client or loss or compromise
of credentials used by the Client to deliver Instructions.

 

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

 

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

 

	E.	Acknowledgment of Risk. The Client
                                         expressly acknowledges and agrees that the use of electronic communication systems to

                                         the Custodian shall be permitted, and is hereby authorized and directed by Client to,
                                         and may authorize subcustodians or depositories to, carry out any of the following actions

		ii.	Notify the Client of notices, circulars, reports and announcements
                                         that require discretionary action, in each case, which the Custodian has received in

The Custodian may perform any of its duties or obligations
under this Agreement through depositories, subcustodians, subcontractors or agents (including its affiliates), whenever and on
such terms and conditions as it deems necessary or advisable to perform such duties or obligations or liabilities.

 

The Custodian shall act in good faith and use reasonable care
in the selection and continued appointment of unaffiliated depositories, subcustodians, subcontractors or agents. The Custodian

                                         it determines, in its sole discretion, may be necessary or advisable to inspect and protect
                                         the security of the Assets, the Custody Account or the Omnibus Wallet or enhance the
                                         Custodian’s ability to secure the Assets or the Omnibus Wallet, including cancelling,
                                         interrupting, terminating or suspending any or all of the Custodian’s services and operations

                                         Assets or to the Custody Accounts. The Custodian may from time to time review and amend
                                         its policies and procedures or impose such additional policies and procedures as the
                                         Custodian, in its sole discretion, considers necessary or advisable to enhance the Custodian’s
                                         ability to secure the Assets or the Omnibus Wallet.

	7.	TAXATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	8.	DIGITAL ASSET FORKS

 

The Custodian is not
responsible for any Fork of a Digital Asset, including any Eligible Assets, and is not liable for any loss in value of the
Assets held by the Custodian on the Client’s behalf as a result of any Fork or otherwise. It is the responsibility of
the Client to make itself aware of anticipated or upcoming operational or systemic changes in a Digital Asset and the Client
must carefully consider publicly available information as well as information provided by the Custodian, if any, in
determining whether to continue to use an account with the Custodian in connection with a Forked Digital Asset. In the event
of a Fork of an Eligible Asset, the Custodian will use reasonable efforts to investigate the technical and operational
feasibility of providing services with respect to Forked Digital Assets and will act in accordance with its Policy Statement
on Forks as set forth in Schedule 3 attached hereto, which may be supplemented or modified by the Custodian from time
to time in its sole discretion; provided that the Custodian retains the right, in its sole discretion, to determine
whether or not to support (or cease supporting) each Forked Digital Asset.

	9.	VALUE AND SUPPLY OF DIGITAL ASSETS; INSURANCE

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	10.	ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DIGITAL ASSET RISKS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		iii.	Digital Assets could become subject to Forks, and various types
                                         of cyberattacks, including but not limited to a “51% Attack” or a “Replay
                                         Attack,” as described in the Policy Statement on Forks attached to this Agreement
                                         as Schedule 3.

    	11

    	

    

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	11.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                                         accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable

		v.	Any consent, authorization or Instruction

		iii.	Any factual information heretofore
                                         or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Client in writing to the Custodian

                                         was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time;

 

		iv.	There is no claim pending, or to
                                         the Client’s knowledge, threatened, and no encumbrance or other lien, in each case,

		vii.	It acknowledges that Digital Assets
                                         are new forms of assets, that the law regarding their ownership, custody and transfer
                                         is developing and uncertain, and that custody of such assets poses certain risks that

                                         or diminution in value of Digital Assets due to (a) changes or developments in the Law

                                         not adequately protected, (b) changes in the Custodian’s policies or procedures
                                         made in the Custodian’s sole discretion in light of legal, regulatory, operational,
                                         security or reputational risks, (c) an Ineligibility Determination or (d) fraud and theft;

                                         this Agreement are sufficient for all legal, regulatory, contractual, operational and
                                         other requirements and obligations of the Client, and that such services are appropriate
                                         and desirable for the Client, including, but not limited to, determining whether the
                                         services provided by the Custodian hereunder are sufficient for satisfying any obligation
                                         of the Client to arrange for a qualified custodian to maintain Client funds and securities
                                         under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Custodian makes no express

                                         held by the Custodian on the Client’s behalf and any other loss, expense, cost
                                         or liability of any kind incurred by the Custodian arising directly or indirectly out
                                         of the Client’s failure or alleged failure to comply with any Law, contract or
                                         operational requirements applicable to the Client, including, but not limited to, any

	12.	SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY

 

	A.	Standard of Care. The Custodian
                                         shall exercise the reasonable care of a professional custodian for hire, with such standard
                                         of care being deemed satisfied if the Custodian exercises such care as it exercises with
                                         respect to any Custody Account, and Assets of a similar type, owned by the Custodian
                                         or any of its affiliates.

 

	B.	Limitations on Losses.

 

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

 

		ii.	The Custodian shall not be liable
                                         for any loss caused, directly or indirectly, by (a) the failure of the Client to adhere
                                         to the Custodian’s policies and procedures that have been disclosed to the Client,

                                         upon any Instruction that it reasonably believes in good faith to have been authorized
                                         by the Client or any Person acting on behalf of the Client, or (b) any indirect, consequential,
                                         incidental, special or punitive loss or damage, even if the Custodian has been advised

                                         than a System Failure caused by the gross negligence, misconduct or fraud of the Custodian
                                         or the Custodian’s affiliates), that prevents the Custodian from fulfilling its
                                         obligations under this Agreement.

 

	C.	Limitations on the Custodian’s
                                         Responsibility

 

		i.	General. The Custodian shall
                                         only be responsible for the performance of those duties as are expressly set forth herein,
                                         including the performance of any Proper Instructions given in accordance with this Agreement.

                                         is a party.

 

		ii.	[Reserved.]

 

		iii.	Sole Obligations of the Custodian.
                                         The Client understands and agrees that notwithstanding any delegation by the Custodian

    	16

    	

    

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		x.	Reliance on Counsel. The Custodian
                                         may consult with legal counsel(s) of its own choosing as to any matter relating to this
                                         Agreement, and the Custodian shall not incur any liability with respect to anything done
                                         or omitted by it in order to comply with applicable Law in accordance with any advice
                                         from such counsel.

		xi.	Security of Assets. The Custodian shall not be liable
                                         to the Client for any loss resulting from actions reasonably taken by the Custodian to
                                         inspect, protect or improve the security of the Client’s Assets pursuant to Section
                                         6.E.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

	D.	Client Obligations.

 

		i.	The Client agrees to pay all fees, expenses, charges and obligations
                                         incurred from time to time for any services pursuant to this Agreement as determined
                                         in accordance with the terms of the Fee Schedule attached hereto, which may be changed
                                         from time to time by the Custodian upon prior written notice to the Client or the Authorized
                                         Agent, together with any other amounts payable to the Custodian under the Agreement.
                                         The Client authorizes the Authorized Agent to agree to any changes to the Fee Schedule
                                         on behalf of the Client without notifying or obtaining prior consent from the Client,
                                         and the Client agrees to be bound by any fees or charges agreed to by the Authorized
                                         Agent. Unless otherwise agreed, all fees and expenses paid to the Custodian shall be
                                         paid in U.S. Dollars.

 

		ii.	The Client hereby acknowledges that the Custodian is subject
                                         to various laws including those verifying the identities of customers, pursuant to which
                                         the Custodian will obtain, verify and record information that allows the Custodian to
                                         identify each Client. Accordingly, prior to entering into this Agreement, the Custodian
                                         will ask the Client to provide certain information including, but not limited to, the
                                         Client’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information
                                         that will help the Custodian to identify and verify the Client’s identity, such
                                         as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business or
                                         other pertinent identifying information. The Custodian may obtain and verify comparable
                                         information for any Authorized Person.

The Client shall provide the Custodian
with documentation to allow for obtaining and verifying the beneficial owners and control persons of customers that are legal
entities. The Client acknowledges that the Custodian cannot provide services under this Agreement until the Custodian verifies
the identity of the Client (and, if applicable, Authorized Persons and/or beneficial owners) in accordance with its customer identification
and verification procedures. The Client’s Custody Account may be restricted or closed if the Custodian cannot obtain and
verify this information. The Custodian will not be responsible for any losses or damages (including, but not limited to, lost
opportunities) that may result if a Client’s Custody Account is restricted or closed.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		viii.	At any time, the Custodian may
                                         request Instructions from any Authorized Person or Authorized Agent (or Person that the
                                         Custodian believes in good faith to be an Authorized Person or Authorized Agent), and

                                         of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto,
                                         except to the extent that the Custodian would be liable under Section 12.B hereunder.
                                         The foregoing indemnifications shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

                                         of its obligations under this Agreement, including those described in Section 13.A above.

 

	14.	CLIENT FINAL DISTRIBUTION
                                         OF ASSETS

 

The Client agrees that the Assets will
be finally distributed, transferred and delivered to the Client only upon the Client’s indefeasible payment in full of any
amounts due and owing to the Custodian hereunder.

 

	15.	REMEDIES UPON NONPAYMENT

 

If the Client, upon demand, fails to
pay the Custodian any required amount in respect of any Asset subject to this Agreement, the Custodian may, without notice to
the Client (except as required by law) and at any time appropriate, sell such Asset and/or exercise in respect of each such Asset
any and all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law.

 

	16.	LIEN AND SET OFF

 

In addition to all rights and remedies
available to the Custodian under applicable law, the Custodian shall have, and the Client hereby grants, a continuing lien on
and valid and perfected first-priority security interest in all Assets in the Custody Account until the satisfaction of all liabilities
of the Client to the Custodian arising under this Agreement, including without limitation liabilities in respect of any fees and
expenses or credit exposures in relation to the Custody Account incurred in the performance of services under this Agreement.
Custodian shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Client shall not grant any other Person a lien, security interest, charge or similar rights or claims against the Assets without
the Custodian’s prior written consent.

 

Without limiting any other rights and
remedies of the Custodian under this Agreement or applicable law, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Custodian may,
with prior notice to the Client, set off any payment obligation owed to the Custodian by the Client against any payment obligations
owed by the Custodian to the Client, regardless of the place of payment, delivery and/or currency of any obligation (and for such
purposes may make any necessary

    	20

    	

    

conversions of currencies or Digital
Assets). If any obligation is unliquidated or unascertained, the Custodian may set off an amount estimated by the Custodian in
good faith to be the amount of that obligation.

 

	17.	RECORDS

 

The Client shall examine each statement
sent by the Custodian and notify the Custodian in writing within five (5) Business Days of the date of such statement of (A) any
discrepancy between Instructions given by the Client and the position shown on the statement and (B) any other errors known to
the Client. Absent such timely notification, the Custodian’s liability for any loss or damage in regards to such discrepancy
shall not accrue beyond such five (5) Business Day period.

 

	18.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

Each of the Custodian and the Client
agrees that it will maintain any confidential and proprietary information disclosed to it by the other Party hereto, including
the fees set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (“Confidential Information”), in a confidential manner using
the same care it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information, and will not use for its own benefit
or otherwise the Confidential Information of the other Party except (x) as expressly authorized by this Agreement and to the extent
necessary for performance of this Agreement or (y) upon the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however,
that each of the Custodian and the Client may disclose any such confidential or proprietary information of the other Party to
those of its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, agents (including attorneys and financial advisors),
and contractors, in each case, who need to know such information for purposes of this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality
obligations consistent with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information
that was (a) publicly available prior to disclosure by such disclosing party; (b) already in the receiving party’s possession
and not subject to an obligation of confidentiality; (c) obtained by the receiving party from a third party without restriction
on disclosure; (d) entirely independently developed by the receiving party without reference to any Confidential Information of
the disclosing party; (e) the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the income tax consequences of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

If, at any time, the receiving party
is required by law or regulation to make any disclosure of any of the Confidential Information, by summons, subpoena, judicial
or administrative order or otherwise, the receiving party shall (to the extent permissible and practicable under the circumstances)
give prompt prior written notice of such requirement to the disclosing party and permit the disclosing party to intervene in any
relevant proceedings to protect its interests in the Confidential Information, and provide reasonable cooperation and assistance
to the disclosing party in lawful efforts to resist, limit or delay disclosure at the disclosing party’s sole expense. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Custodian may disclose the Client’s Confidential Information to the Custodian’s regulators without
any notice thereof.

 

The receiving party shall promptly notify
the disclosing party in writing of any loss, or use, access or disclosure of Confidential Information of the disclosing party
in violation of this Agreement promptly following recipient’s discovery and shall promptly take measures to minimize the
effect and prevent its recurrence. The receiving party shall be liable under this Agreement to the disclosing party for any loss,
or access, use, or disclosure in violation of this Agreement by itself or its representatives.

    	21

    	

    

	19.	TRADE NAMES

 

The Client acknowledges that the names
and logos of the Custodian and its affiliates including, but not limited to, “Fidelity”, “Fidelity Investments®”
and “Fidelity Digital Assets” (collectively, “Names”) are proprietary trademarks and trade
names and are of significant value and importance. Client will not undertake any written or oral sales, advertising, press release,
marketing, promotional or solicitational activities which identify, make reference to or otherwise use these Names, or suggest
either orally or in writing that Client is an agent of, affiliated with or in any way part of the Fidelity organization, except
as otherwise approved in writing by the Custodian. No reference to the Custodian or Fidelity companies may be made in such a way
as to potentially mislead customers of the Client.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph,
during the term of this Agreement, Client shall have permission to use the Custodian’s full legal entity name, Fidelity
Digital Asset Services, LLC or its associated trade name, Fidelity Digital Assets, in the marketing of the Client’s services
when referring to the Custodian as providing custody, trade execution or other applicable services, as the case may be, as a simple
statement of fact, without providing notice to, or receiving prior written consent from the Custodian.

                                         Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the other Party upon the occurrence
                                         of any of the following events (provided such notice to terminate is given within three
                                         (3) months following the occurrence of the event):

 

		i.	if the other Party commits any material breach of any of its obligations
                                         under this Agreement and, in the case of any breach which is capable of remedy, fails
                                         to remedy such breach within seven (7) days of delivery of a written notice to the other
                                         Party specifying such breach (or such longer period as the notice may specify); or

 

		ii.	if the other Party becomes insolvent, enters into liquidation
                                         (apart from solvent liquidation for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction) or
                                         is dissolved or declared bankrupt or has a receiver, administrator or administrative
                                         receiver appointed over all or a substantial part of its assets or enters into an arrangement
                                         with its creditors or takes or suffers similar action.

 

	D.	Immediate Termination by Custodian. Without prejudice to any
                                         accrued rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Custodian may terminate this Agreement
                                         immediately by giving written notice to the Client if in its sole discretion it has determined
                                         that (i) continuing to provide services under this Agreement would result in violation
                                         of any Law, (ii) any of the representations or warranties made by the Client under this
                                         Agreement cease to be true on a continuing basis or that (iii) the Client has conducted
                                         or participated in any activity, transaction or conduct that may present a material adverse
                                         impact or reflection on the Custodian’s reputation.

	E.	Effect on Assets. Upon termination
                                         of this Agreement and subject to Section 14 hereof, the Custodian shall deliver
                                         the Client’s Assets as instructed by the Client in writing. If by the termination
                                         date the Client has not given instructions to the Custodian regarding where to deliver
                                         any Assets, the Custodian will continue to safekeep such Assets until the Client provides
                                         such Proper Instructions to effect a free delivery of such, and the Client shall be liable
                                         to pay monthly storage fees in the amount determined by the Custodian until all Assets
                                         are removed. However, the Custodian will provide no other services with respect to any
                                         such Assets following termination. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement or any
                                         Proper Instruction, the Custodian may retain sufficient Assets to close out or complete
                                         any transaction that was in process prior to such termination or to pay any fees of the
                                         Custodian or amounts otherwise outstanding hereunder.

 

	F.	Surviving Terms. The rights and
                                         obligations contained in Sections 7, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18 and 19 of this Agreement shall
                                         survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                         of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict of law rules

	B.	Jurisdiction. Both Parties submit
                                         to personal jurisdiction in the federal and state courts located in Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
                                         and further agree that any and all claims and controversies arising out of this Agreement
                                         that cannot be amicably resolved by the Parties shall be brought solely and exclusively
                                         in a court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

	C.	Venue. Each Party hereto waives
                                         any objection it may have at any time, to the laying of venue of any actions or proceedings
                                         brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the rights to object that such court
                                         does not have jurisdiction over such parties.

 

	22.	MISCELLANEOUS

                                         notice by registered or certified mail or by e-mail to the address designated by the
                                         other Party. Any notices provided under this provision shall be effective, upon receipt
                                         (in the case of registered or certified mail) or by the recipient acknowledging receipt

                                         of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any applicable
                                         law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect (as shall that provision
                                         under any other law).

                                         delay of the Client or the Custodian in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement
                                         shall constitute a waiver of that right. Any waiver of any right will be limited to the
                                         specific instance. The exclusion or omission of any provision or term from this Agreement
                                         shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy the Client or the Custodian

                                         or otherwise, in each case, upon prompt written notice to the other Party hereto. Neither
                                         Party may otherwise assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
                                         without the other Party’s prior written consent. Any attempted transfer or assignment
                                         in violation hereof shall be null and void.

 

	H.	No Agency. Nothing contained in
                                         this Agreement shall constitute the Client and/or the Custodian (and/or any other Person)
                                         as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated

                                         established by this Agreement. Neither the Client nor the Custodian shall hold itself
                                         out as an agent, partner or joint venture partner of the other or any of the subsidiaries
                                         or companies controlled directly or indirectly by or affiliated with the other.

 

	I.	No Affiliate Obligations. The
                                         Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) the obligations and duties of the Custodian hereunder
                                         apply only to the Custodian and are not obligations or duties of any other member of
                                         the Fidelity organization; (ii) notwithstanding any affiliation of the Custodian with
                                         the Fidelity organization or any member thereof (including FMR LLC, the parent company
                                         of the Custodian), this Agreement is with the Custodian only, and the rights of the Client
                                         under this Agreement apply only to the Custodian and not to FMR LLC or any other affiliate
                                         of the Custodian; and (iii) the Custodian may in its sole and absolute discretion in
