Common use of Additional Trust Expenses Clause in Contracts

Additional Trust Expenses. (i) The Trust pays all of its respective brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees and give-up fees, and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities. The Trust also pays all fees and commissions related to any crypto transaction fees for on-chain transfers of assets. The Trust pays all of its non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses, if any, as determined by the Sponsor. Non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses are unexpected or unusual in nature, such as legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Extraordinary fees and expenses also include material expenses which are not currently anticipated obligations of the Trust. Routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses are not deemed extraordinary expenses. In the event the Trust’s cash balance is insufficient to pay all fees and expenses, including the Sponsor fee, the Trust may need to sell crypto assets from time to time to pay for its fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume any non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses of the Trust, if applicable. To the extent that the Sponsor does not voluntarily assume such fees and expenses, they will be the responsibility of the Trust. Non-recurring, unusual or extraordinary expenses of the Trust will be allocated as determined by the Sponsor using a pro rata allocation methodology that allocates such Trust expenses to the Trust (collectively, “Additional Trust Expenses”).
