The Entry Fee shall be payable in full upon commencement of the engagement.
8.2 In addition to the Entry Fee, the Client shall be obliged to pay:
8.2.1 Success Fee - a performance-based fee calculated as a percentage of the Profit and Loss (PNL) generated by the Client’s Portfolio based on the advisory services. The Success Fee shall be payable only to the extent that the Portfolio value exceeds the High-Water Mark. The applicable Success Fee rate and calculation methodology are specified in Annex 1 (Fee Agreement). In the first Reporting Period, the base for calculating the Success Fee shall be reduced by the amount of the Entry Fee previously paid by the Client;
8.2.2 Advisory Fee - a fee based on assets under advisory, typically assessed annually, payable after the first 12 months if the agreement is extended. The specific amounts and payment terms are specified in Annex 1 (Fee Agreement).
8.3 All fees, including Entry Fee, Success Fee, and Advisory Fee, are non-refundable once the Service has been rendered or initiated. By paying any fee, the Client acknowledges that the Services have been provided in full accordance with these Terms.
8.4 Any additional services requested by the Client beyond the agreed scope may be subject to separate fees, which shall be mutually agreed in writing prior to provision.
8.5 The Company reserves the right to adjust the structure and rates of any fees in the future. Any changes will be communicated to the Client in writing and shall apply only to future advisory services, subject to mutual agreement.
9. VALUATION, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING
9.1 The value of the Portfolio shall be calculated in United States dollars as of 23:59:59 UTC on the last day of each Reporting Period for the purposes of remuneration calculation and payment. For the conversion of assets denominated in other currencies, the exchange rate of the relevant exchange or a pricing aggregator agreed upon by the Parties shall apply.
9.2 Income derived from liquidity pools, staking, farming, and other similar instruments shall be included in the Profit and Loss (PNL) to the extent of rewards accrued and available for withdrawal as of the date of result fixation.
9.3 The Reporting Period shall cover a period of three (3) calendar months or, if earlier, the date on which the Portfolio achieves a cumulative net profit of forty percent (40%) calculated from the Portfolio value at the beginning of the applicable Reporting Period and adjusted for any capital inflows or outflows during such period.
- If, as of the end of the Reporting Period, no profit has been generated (PNL ≤ 0), the Advisor shall prepare and deliver to the Client a brief report confirming the current status of the Portfolio and, if necessary, relevant comments, no later than five (5) business days after the end of the Reporting Period.
- If profit has been generated (PNL > 0), the Advisor shall perform the result fixation and deliver to the Client a detailed calculation of the Portfolio performance within five (5) business days from the end of the Reporting Period.
In the first Reporting Period, the base for calculating the Success Fee shall be reduced by the amount of the Entry Fee previously paid by the Client.
The Advisor shall calculate the Success Fee and deliver the corresponding calculation to the Client. For the avoidance of doubt, the Success Fee shall be calculated only on the portion of Profit by which the Portfolio value exceeds the High-Water Mark. The Client shall pay the accrued Success Fee within two (2) Business Days after acceptance of the report or expiration of the objection period specified above, whichever occurs first.
Following the result fixation of the Success Fee, the Portfolio value determined on a net-of-fees basis shall become the new High-Water Mark. In the event of any withdrawals (Outflows), the High-Water Mark shall be adjusted in the same proportion as the reduction in the Portfolio value resulting from such withdrawal, determined on a net-of-fees basis. For the avoidance of doubt, withdrawals shall not reset the High-Water Mark other than through the proportional adjustment described above.
9.4 In the event of discrepancies in the data, priority shall be given to the official reports of exchanges and on-chain explorers. Pending reconciliation, the Client shall remain obliged to pay the undisputed portion of the remuneration.

9. VALUATION, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING
9.1 The value of the Portfolio shall be calculated in United States dollars as of 23:59:59 UTC on the last day of each Reporting Period for the purposes of remuneration calculation and payment. For the conversion of assets denominated in other currencies, the exchange rate of the relevant exchange or a pricing aggregator agreed upon by the Parties shall apply.
9.2 Income derived from liquidity pools, staking, farming, and other similar instruments shall be included in the Profit and Loss (PNL) to the extent of rewards accrued and available for withdrawal as of the date of result fixation.
9.3 The Reporting Period shall cover a period of three (3) calendar months or, if earlier, the date on which the Portfolio achieves a cumulative net profit of forty percent (40%) calculated from the Portfolio value at the beginning of the applicable Reporting Period and adjusted for any capital inflows or outflows during such period.
- If, as of the end of the Reporting Period, no profit has been generated (PNL ≤ 0), the Advisor shall prepare and deliver to the Client a brief report confirming the current status of the Portfolio and, if necessary, relevant comments, no later than five (5) business days after the end of the Reporting Period.
- If profit has been generated (PNL > 0), the Advisor shall perform the result fixation and deliver to the Client a detailed calculation of the Portfolio performance within five (5) business days from the end of the Reporting Period.
In the first Reporting Period, the base for calculating the Success Fee shall be reduced by the amount of the Entry Fee previously paid by the Client.

Following the result fixation of the Success Fee, the Portfolio value determined on a net-of-fees basis shall become the new High-Water Mark. In the event of any withdrawals (Outflows), the High-Water Mark shall be adjusted in the same proportion as the reduction in the Portfolio value resulting from such withdrawal, determined on a net-of-fees basis. For the avoidance of doubt, withdrawals shall not reset the High-Water Mark other than through the proportional adjustment described above.

b) twenty-five percent (25%) where Capital is equal to or greater than USD 500,000 and less than USD 1,000,000;
c) twenty percent (20%) where Capital is equal to or greater than USD 1,000,000.
2.3 The Success Fee is fixed at the end of the Reporting Period, subject to the High-Water Mark mechanism; no Success Fee is due if PNL ≤ 0. Payment shall be made to the Wallet details specified by the Parties in the Agreement.
2.4 Advisory Fee. The Client shall pay an annual Advisory Fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Capital for which advisory services are provided, calculated on the basis of assets under advisory for fee purposes. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the calculation shall use the value of the Capital as of the day immediately preceding such renewal or extension, and payment shall be made to Wallet details specified by the Parties in this Agreement. The Advisory Fee shall not be prorated or refunded in the event of early termination.
2.5 Minimum Capital Requirement. The Client shall maintain minimum Capital of USD 100,000 (or the equivalent value in Digital Assets). If, other than due to temporary market movements, Capital remains below this threshold for a sustained period, the Company may suspend services or terminate this Agreement. Fees accrued prior to suspension or termination remain payable.
2.6 Valuation and Currency. All fees are denominated in United States Dollars (USD). Where fees are settled in Digital Assets, their USD value shall be determined at fair market value at 23:59 UTC on the applicable date using reasonable market data from reputable exchanges or data providers; if a source is unavailable or manifestly erroneous, the Company may rely on an alternative source or a commercially reasonable methodology. Payments shall be made exclusively in USDT or USDC, unless otherwise agreed in writing, to the Wallet details provided by the Company.
2.7 Adjustments. Percentages, thresholds, and minimums may be modified only by written agreement of the Parties and, unless expressly stated otherwise, apply prospectively beginning with the next Reporting Period. Any modification to fees shall not affect amounts accrued prior to the effective date of such modification.
3. PAYMENT TERMS
3.1 General. All fees under this Agreement are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) and, where settled in Digital Assets, shall be valued and converted at their fair market value as of 23:59 UTC on the applicable date, based on pricing data from reputable exchanges or commercially reasonable market sources. If the primary pricing source is unavailable or produces manifestly erroneous data, the Company may use an alternative source or methodology acting reasonably and in good faith.
3.2 Entry Fee. The Entry Fee shall be payable in full upon commencement of the engagement in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement. The Entry Fee shall constitute a one-time, non-refundable payment for the Services.
3.3 Success Fee. The Success Fee for a given Reporting Period becomes due upon result fixation at the end of such Reporting Period, subject to the High-Water Mark mechanism. The Company shall issue a statement setting out the calculation of Profit and Loss (PNL) and the resulting Success Fee in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement. Unless the Client provides a written, reasoned objection within two (2) Business Days of delivery, the statement shall be deemed accepted. The Success Fee shall be paid within two (2) Business Days after acceptance of the statement or resolution of any objection.
3.4 Advisory Fee. The Advisory Fee is assessed once every twelve (12) months from the Effective Date.
3.5 Method of Payment. Fees shall be paid in USDT or USDC by on-chain transfer to the designated Wallet, or in USD by bank transfer if expressly permitted by the Company. Blockchain network fees, exchange fees, and other third-party charges are borne by the Client and do not reduce the amount owed.
3.6 Receipt and Confirmation. Payment in Digital Assets is deemed received once the transaction has achieved the required number of on-chain confirmations and the transferred amount appears in the Company’s Wallet.
3.7 Shortfalls and Overpayments. If deductions, network fees, slippage cause a shortfall, the Client remains liable for the difference. Any overpayment may be credited against future amounts due or refunded, at the Company’s reasonable discretion.
3.8 No Set-Off. The Client shall pay all amounts due without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim, except to the extent such set-off, deduction, or counterclaim is mandated by applicable law.
3.9 Taxes and Withholding. Amounts payable are exclusive of taxes. The Client is responsible for all applicable taxes (other than taxes on the Company’s net income). If withholding is required by law, the Client shall gross-up the payment so that the Company receives the amount it would have received absent such withholding.
3.10 Relation to Main Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this section supplements, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the Investment Advisory Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement shall prevail, except with respect to fee-specific terms expressly governed by this Fee Agreement.
4. REPORTING AND CALCULATION
4.1 Reporting Schedule. Reporting Period shall be determined in accordance with the definition set forth above and shall occur upon the earlier of: (i) the expiration of three (3) calendar months; or (ii) the Portfolio achieving a cumulative net profit of forty percent (40%).
4.2 At the end of each Reporting Period, the Company shall review the Client’s results and prepare a written statement. If no Profit is recorded for the Reporting Period, the Company shall provide an informational report to the Client confirming the outcome. If Profit is recorded, the Company shall calculate the Profit and Loss (PNL) for the relevant Reporting Period. In the first Reporting Period, the base for calculating the Success Fee shall be reduced by the amount of the Entry Fee previously paid by the Client. The Company shall then calculate the applicable Success Fee in accordance with the High-Water Mark mechanism and deliver the corresponding calculation to the Client
4.3 Net Profit Methodology. Profit and Loss (PNL) for a Reporting Period shall be determined as the difference between the value of the Portfolio at the end of such Reporting Period and the value of the Portfolio at the beginning of the Reporting Period, adjusted by adding back any Outflows and subtracting any Inflows during such Reporting Period. The calculation shall include both realized and unrealized gains and losses as well as transaction costs. Valuation of Digital Assets at the beginning and end of each Reporting Period shall be based on their fair market value as of 23:59 UTC on the relevant date, determined using pricing data from reputable exchanges or other commercially reasonable market sources, applied consistently across Reporting Periods.
4.4 Errors and Corrections. If a Statement contains a manifest error, the Company shall promptly issue a corrected Statement. Any underpayment or overpayment shall be adjusted accordingly within a reasonable time after issuance of the corrected Statement, together with any applicable late charges for amounts previously due and unpaid.
4.5 Methodology Consistency and Changes. The Company shall apply the valuation and calculation methodologies consistently across Reporting Periods. Any change to methodologies that could materially affect the determination of PNL or the calculation of fees shall be communicated in writing and, unless expressly agreed otherwise, shall apply only prospectively to subsequent Reporting Periods.
4.6 Survival and Finality. The obligations contained in this section shall survive termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to finalize any outstanding Statement and related fees. Subject to the objection and correction process set forth herein, a Statement that is not timely contested shall be deemed final and conclusive between the Parties.
5. FEE TERMS AND CLIENT-SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS
5.1 Base Fee Terms. Any change to the Entry Fee, Success Fee, Advisory Fee, related percentages, thresholds, minimums, tiers, calculation methodologies, timing of accrual or payment, or any other economic term concerning fees (collectively, “Fee Terms”) shall be effective only if set out in writing and executed by both Parties (a “Fee Amendment”). Email exchanges or oral statements shall not amend the Fee Terms unless expressly confirmed in a duly executed Fee Amendment. Electronic signatures are acceptable.
5.2 Modification of Fee Terms. Any modification, removal, or adjustment of the Entry Fee, Success Fee, Advisory Fee, or any other fee-related economic term with respect to a particular Client may be made solely in the Client’s executed Accession Agreement (or in an amendment thereto duly executed by the Parties).
5.3 Priority of Client-Specific Fee Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the fee provisions contained in this Fee Agreement or the Investment Advisory Agreement, on the one hand, and the Client’s executed Accession Agreement, on the other hand, the fee terms set forth in the Client’s Accession Agreement shall prevail with respect to that Client.
5.4 No Other Modifications. No oral communications, informal understandings, or exchanges (including email correspondence) shall amend the fee terms unless such amendment is expressly reflected in the Client’s executed Accession Agreement or in a written amendment thereto duly executed by the Parties.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION

6.2 Non-Renewal. Either Party may elect not to renew this Fee Agreement by providing written notice at least thirty (30) Business Days before the expiration of the current term of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Non-renewal shall not affect the obligation to pay any fees or amounts accrued prior to the end of the applicable term.
6.3 Termination for Cause. This Fee Agreement shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Additionally, the Company may terminate this Fee Agreement immediately upon written notice if:

b) the Client materially breaches this Fee Agreement and does not cure such breach within ten (10) Business Days after written notice;
c) the Capital falls below the minimum threshold established under the main Agreement and remains below it beyond any applicable cure period;
d) the Company reasonably determines that a payment or activity is unlawful, violates sanctions, or fails compliance checks;
e) the Client becomes insolvent, subject to bankruptcy or similar proceedings; or f) a change in law or regulation renders continued performance unlawful or commercially impracticable. The Client may terminate this Fee Agreement immediately upon a material breach by the Company, subject to ten (10) Business Days’ written notice.
6.4 Effect of Termination; Final Calculation. Upon any termination or non-renewal:
a) the Company shall prepare a final Statement for the period ending on the effective date of termination (the “Stub Period”);
b) Net Profit for the Stub Period shall be calculated in the same manner as set out in the Reporting and Calculation provisions of this Agreement and any Success Fee due for the Stub Period shall crystallize as of that date;
c) all accrued and outstanding amounts, including any unpaid Entry Fee and any crystallized Success Fee, shall become immediately due and payable;
d) Advisory Fee shall be payable unless a Renewal Term commences.
The process for objections, corrections, and final settlement of the Statement shall follow the same principles set forth in the Reporting and Calculation provisions of this Agreement.
6.5 Survival. The provisions of this Fee Agreement relating to Definitions, Fee Structure, Payment Terms, Reporting and Calculation, Amendments to Fees, Termination, Governing Law and Dispute Resolution, and Miscellaneous shall survive termination or non-renewal, to the extent necessary to complete any outstanding calculations or payments, and shall be interpreted consistently with the Investment Advisory Agreement.
