Appointment: The Client hereby appoints Komainu as the custodian of the Client Assets on and from the Order Form Effective Date, to hold the same in safe custody in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Status: Each Party confirms its acceptance and acknowledgement of the following, upon which each has separately received advice from counsel as to the implications of the same:

KJL – Order Form – Custodial Services (Version: March 2024)

CONFIDENTIAL

(c)

nothing in the Agreement or the operation of the Infrastructure is intended, or shall be deemed, to result in the transfer of any beneficial title in any Client Assets to Komainu. Accordingly, the Client Assets are not an asset on Komainu’s balance sheet.

4.3

Security Procedures: The Client acknowledges that:

(a)

its adherence to the Security Procedures shall be an essential condition to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s willingness to be appointed pursuant to this Order Form; and

(b)

accordingly, any violation of the Security Procedures or attempt to circumvent or reduce its effectiveness by the Client or the Client’s Users shall entitle Komainu to terminate this Order Form in accordance with Clause 14.5(a)(vi) of the MSA.

4.4

Onboarding Charge (Custodial Services): The Client undertakes to pay the Onboarding Charge for Custodial Services to Komainu, as specified in Schedule 1 (Financial Matters).

4.5

Client Acknowledgements: The Client acknowledges and accepts that:

(a)

Non-Exclusivity: without prejudice to Clause 3.3 of the MSA, nothing in this Order Form (or otherwise) shall prevent Komainu from using the Platform to custody:

(i)

Komainu’s own Compatible Assets; or

(ii)

Compatible Assets of other client(s) of Komainu or of other third-parties;

(b)

Data Transmission: the transmission of data among and within the components of the Infrastructure will at all times be made using encrypted protocols;

(c)

Asset Transfers: Transfers to, from and between Accounts shall be completed at the Client’s risk and expense;

(d)

Classification:

(i)

the Infrastructure, as at the Order Form Effective Date, is not an exchange platform and, accordingly therefore, does not enable any person to trade in Assets (whether for other Assets, Fiat Currency (including the Chosen Currency), other currency or another value that substitutes for currency);

(ii)

Komainu is not a broker, dealer, money services business, money transmitter, bank or a credit, electronic money or payment institution;

(e)

No Regulatory Protections: the Client Assets custodied hereunder are not likely to be covered by any protections or insurance schemes which may be offered in the context of traditional securities or bank deposits (such as, for example, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank Depositors’ Compensation Scheme in Jersey, Channel Islands);

(f)

Uninsured: should Komainu maintain any insurance cover during the subsistence of this Order Form, such insurance would be solely for the benefit of Komainu and does not guarantee or insure the Client or the Client Assets and there is no obligation or other duty on Komainu to insure the Client or the Client Assets;

(g)

Third-party Payments: the Infrastructure is not intended to facilitate any third party payments and, in accordance with the Security Procedures, all Transfers of Client Assets outside of the Infrastructure must be to a DLT network address which is on the whitelist maintained from time to time by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;

KJL – Order Form – Custodial Services (Version: March 2024)

CONFIDENTIAL

(h)

Value(s) and VuC:

(i)

the calculation(s) of Value(s) and VuC hereunder by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Personnel are (SAVE ONLY in connection with the determination of a Sum Due), and will be considered by the Client to be, indicative and for information purposes only; and

(ii)

accordingly, no assurance or guarantee is (or should be considered to be) provided by Komainu or its Personnel that any calculation of a Value or of VuC fairly equates to the value which may be yielded by the relevant Client Assets were they to be divested of for value, in any particular market, at the date (and time) at which the calculation concerned is made;

(i)

Monitoring: Komainu may monitor the use of the Infrastructure and Accounts by Client Users to ensure that such use is compliant with applicable law or regulation and Komainu shall be at liberty to use the resultant information for its own internal and commercial development purposes; and

(j)

Immutability:

(i)

that it is a hallmark of the DLT network of an Asset that the record(s) represented thereby (i.e. the distributed ledger), which would include any Transfers during the subsistence of this Order Form and details of the Accounts concerned, are (and will be) immutable; and

(ii)

accordingly, it is not within the power of Komainu to erase or make confidential any Transfers of Client Assets undertaken during the subsistence of this Order Form (or otherwise).

(k)

Asset Specific Risks: acquiring, holding, divesting itself of, or otherwise doing business with the Assets are subject to a number of risks and it is the sole responsibility of the Client to determine the nature, severity, scope and impact of those risks. Komainu does not give advice or recommendations regarding Assets, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for such Assets. In particular (but without limitation to any other actual or potential risks), the Client acknowledges and accepts the Asset specific risks set out at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, as may be amended and updated from time to time by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at its sole discretion.

5.7

6.8

Suspended Transfers and Assets: The Client acknowledges that in the event Komainu, in its discretion, determines that a particular remittance of Assets may give rise to any legal, regulatory, reputational or other risk (such remitted Assets, the “Suspended Assets”), Komainu shall be at liberty to:

(a)

remit the Suspended Assets to a suspense account in the name of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and/or

Client Assets’ Repatriation: If any Client Assets remain in any Accounts at the expiration of the Exit Period (all such Client Assets, the “Remaining Assets”), Komainu may:

(a)

subject always to the application of:

(i)

Clauses 7.3(b) and 10.2; and

(ii)

Clauses 5.2(a), 5.3(a), 5.3(b), 5.3(d), 8.5(b), 10.4, 10.5, 14.7 and 14.8 of the MSA; and

(b)

without obligation to have any recourse to the Client in connection therewith,

effect one or more transfers of the Remaining Assets to the Repatriation Address(es) applicable thereto (together, the “Exit Transfer(s)”).

The conduct of the Exit Transfer(s) (or purported conduct of the Exit Transfer(s), in circumstances where the Exit Transfer(s) fail due to invalidity of the Repatriation Address(es)) shall constitute full and final settlement of any obligation Komainu may owe to the Client in respect of any Remaining Assets.

12.6

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Clauses 12.4 and 12.5 shall survive termination of this Order Form.
