This ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective September 4, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between Pineapple Financial Inc., a corporation continued and existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Client”), and Canary Capital Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Asset Manager” and, together with the Client, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, the Client wishes to appoint the Asset Manager and Monarq Asset Management LLC (“Monarq”) to manage certain assets of the Client;

WHEREAS, certain assets of the Client are subject to terms and conditions of that certain INJ Escrow Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof (the “Escrow Agreement”), including satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined in the Escrow Agreement); and

WHEREAS, the Asset Manager wishes to be appointed by the Client for such purposes, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to be bound on the terms and conditions set forth below:

1. Appointment of the Asset Manager; Authority. The Client hereby appoints the Asset Manager to provide certain asset management services with respect to the Account Assets (as defined below) in the accounts or cryptocurrency “wallets” identified in Schedule A attached hereto as amended from time to time, collectively, the “Account”) maintained with one or more custodian(s) or cryptocurrency wallet providers acceptable to the Asset Manager (collectively, the “Custodian”). The Asset Manager hereby accepts its appointment and agrees to provide such asset management services upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Client agrees that the Asset Manager may provide the services under this Agreement via affiliates of the Asset Manager (“Asset Manager Affiliates”). The Client and the Asset Manager understand and agree that changes to Schedule A may be made from time to time following the date of execution of this Agreement by mutual agreement of the Parties.

2. Account Assets. Subject to the Asset Manager Allocation described in Section 13(g), the “Account Assets” shall consist of (a) certain cash net proceeds or in-kind contributions of assets in connection with the offering of the Client’s securities in accordance with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated on or around September 1, 2025, between the Client and each purchaser identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Capital Raise”); (b) any additional cash proceeds or in-kind contributions of assets designated as “Account Assets” in accordance with this Section 2, in each case which the Client agrees it has placed or will place into the Account; and (c) all investments thereof, proceeds of, income on and additions or accretions to same, including all assets which are or were in the Account, but which are staked from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. The (x) Capital Raise, (y) cash proceeds or in-kind contributions the Client receives in connection with additional capital raises, the stated use of which is to further the Digital Asset Strategy and (z) additional available assets placed in the Account (collectively, the “Available Capital”) shall be contributed to the Account in accordance with Section 13(g).

The Client shall notify the Asset Manager of its intention to contribute Available Capital to be designated and maintained as Account Assets held in the Account three business days in advance of such contribution. Liquidation of Account Assets may be required for any withdrawal by the Client during the term of this Agreement and notice shall be given as soon as possible and, in any event, at least five business days in advance. The Client acknowledges that the Account Assets may constitute only a part of the assets of the Client, and that the Asset Manager may act without regard to or consideration of any other assets that may from time to time be held by the Client and shall have no responsibility, duty or liability with respect to any assets not Account Assets.

For the purposes of the above, the “Digital Asset Strategy” means the digital asset strategy overseen by the Asset Manager’s Chief Investment Officer, or other authorized individual as designated by the Client’s Chief Executive Officer in writing, primarily in digital assets, including staking, restaking and liquid staking of such digital assets to improve returns. The Parties agree that the “Account Assets” shall not include “securities” as defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Client understands and agrees that (i) it is not engaging the Asset Manager to provide investment advice about securities; (ii) the Account Assets do not include securities and the Asset Manager’s services hereunder are confined to non- securities, the Client is not an “advisory client” for purposes of the Advisers Act, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be afforded the protections of advisory clients under the Advisers Act; and (iii) the Asset Manager is not a registered investment adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Asset Manager’s ability to invest the Account Assets in accordance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B.

3. Authority of Asset Manager.

(a) Generally. The Asset Manager (and, where applicable, any Asset Manager Affiliate) shall have sole responsibility and authority regarding the asset management of the Account Assets and, as herein provided, shall from time to time direct the investment and reinvestment of such assets in the Account. Subject to the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B, the Asset Manager (and, where applicable, any Asset Manager Affiliate) shall have full power and authority to:

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

(b) Power of Attorney. In furtherance of the authority set forth in paragraph (a) above, the Client hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Asset Manager as its agent and attorney- in-fact, with full power and authority and without further approval of the Client, in the Client’s name, place and stead, to (i) negotiate, make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, record and file any agreements, documents or instruments which may be considered necessary or desirable by the Asset Manager to carry out fully the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) to perform all other acts contemplated by this Agreement or necessary, advisable or convenient to carry out its duties hereunder (subject at all times, however, to each and all of the limitations and stipulations set forth herein and in the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B). Because this limited power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, it shall be irrevocable and survive and not be affected by the Client’s insolvency or dissolution. However, this limited power of attorney will become revocable upon the expiration of such interest and, therefore, this limited power of attorney will terminate upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement.

(c) Compliance with Investment Guidelines. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the compliance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B, including, without limitation, compliance with sector and industry weights of the Account, as applicable, shall be determined in accordance with the Asset Manager’s internal systems. The Client understands and agrees that the Asset Manager does not guarantee or represent that any investment objectives will be achieved. In the event of any breach of the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B, the Asset Manager shall seek to return the Account to compliance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B as soon as reasonably practicable. The Client and the Asset Manager understand and agree that (i) changes to Schedule B may be made from time to time following the date of execution of this Agreement by mutual agreement of the Parties and (ii) the Asset Manager may obtain the approval of the Client from time to time for exceptions from the Investment Guidelines in accordance with procedures mutually agreed between the Asset Manager and Client.

Title to the Account and all Account Assets shall be held in the name of the Client or for benefit of the Client, provided that for convenience in buying, selling and exchanging assets, title to such assets may be held in the name of the Asset Manager, the Custodian (or its nominee), or the street name of the Custodian. Neither the Asset Manager nor any of its affiliates shall take physical custody, possession, or have any authority to take physical custody or possession of, or handle any cash, mortgages or deeds of trust, or other indicia of ownership of any of the Account Assets. Notwithstanding any transactions authorized by this Agreement and executed by the Asset Manager pursuant to authority granted herein, all Account Assets shall be custodied by the Custodian. The Asset Manager shall under no circumstances act as custodian for the Account or take, have title, possession, or any authority to take physical custody or possession of the Account Assets. Instructions by the Asset Manager to the Custodian with respect to the Account Assets shall be made electronically (e.g., through an API feed), in writing, or by other documented means agreeable to both parties.

(b) Expenses of the Custodian; No Liability. The Client shall pay all charges, fees and expenses of the Custodian and any sub-custodian(s). The fees charged to the Client by the Custodian are exclusive of, and in addition to, the management fees and other charges, discussed herein. The Asset Manager shall have no liability with respect to the choice of Custodian or loss of private keys or access to the Account, except for any recommendation made or such loss of access relating to the Asset Manager’s own conduct or credentials (which recommendation or loss of access is not otherwise exculpated or indemnified in accordance with Section 11).

5. Proper Instructions.

(a) All instructions communicated hereunder to the Asset Manager from the Client shall be made in writing and transmitted to the Asset Manager by persons properly authorized by the Client, including without limitation the Client’s Chief Executive Officer. Any such communication appropriately indicating that it reflects action or instruction by the Client may be so accepted by the Asset Manager and the Asset Manager shall have no obligation to inquire further with respect thereto and shall be fully protected in relying and acting upon the writing so indicating the action or instruction of the Client.

(b) The Client shall provide the Asset Manager with a list of authorized persons and their specimen signatures from whom the Asset Manager may accept written day to day instructions, confirmations or authority under this Agreement (“Proper Instructions”) and the Asset Manager shall be fully protected in relying on such list until notified in writing by the Client to the contrary. As of the date of this Agreement, the Client’s list of authorized persons and their specimen signatures are as set forth in Schedule C attached hereto. Proper Instructions may be sent via email, Adobe’s Portable Document Format (“PDF”) or other electronic transmission.

(a) As compensation for the Asset Manager’s services rendered hereunder, the Client shall pay the management fees described in Schedule D attached hereto and as may be amended from time to time by written agreement of the Asset Manager and the Client (the “Fee Schedule”). The Fee Schedule shall be deemed to have been adopted and made a part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein. The Asset Manager will furnish invoices monthly, and all fees shall be payable from the Account not later than ten business days following Client’s receipt of such invoice. The Client hereby acknowledges that it is the Client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the calculation of the Asset Manager’s fees.

(b) The Asset Manager will be responsible for all of its overhead costs. The Client shall pay or reimburse the Asset Manager for all reasonable and documented expenses related to the operation of the Account, which shall be paid or reimbursed by the Client out of the Account Assets.

(c) In addition, the Client may incur an expense which forms part of a larger aggregate expense relating to a number of other managed accounts or pooled investment vehicles for which the Asset Manager or its affiliates provide services. If any such expenses are incurred for the account of any persons in addition to the Client, the Asset Manager will allocate the total expense among the Client and such other persons and will determine the portion reimbursable to the Client, if any, in a fair and reasonable manner.

9. Client Acknowledgements.

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

(b) Risk Factors; Conflicts of Interest; Non-Exclusive Management. The Client acknowledges that it has read, carefully considered and understood the risk factors and hereby acknowledges and consents to the conflicts of interest described herein. The Asset Manager shall devote such part of its time as the Asset Manager determines is reasonably needed for the services contemplated under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not prevent the Asset Manager from rendering similar services to other persons, trusts, corporations or other entities. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Asset Manager or any of its officers, affiliates or employees from, as permitted by law, buying, selling or trading in any asset for its own or their own accounts. The Client acknowledges that the Asset Manager and its officers, affiliates and employees, and the Asset Manager’s other clients may as permitted by law at any time have, acquire, increase, decrease, or dispose of positions in investments which are at the same time being acquired for or disposed of from the Account. As permitted by law the Asset Manager shall have no obligation to acquire for the Account a position in any investment which the Asset Manager, its officers, affiliates or employees may acquire for its or their own accounts or for the account of another client. The Client acknowledges that the Asset Manager is not a financial planner or registered investment advisor. Nothing contained herein or provided hereby shall be construed as legal, tax or accounting advice by the Asset Manager.

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

(d) Execution Practices. The investment and reinvestment of the assets in the Account in accordance with the Asset Manager’s authority set forth in Section 3 above shall be carried out by the Asset Manager’s placement of orders with liquidity providers to cause the sale or purchase or other disposition of allowable assets in accordance with the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B. The Client acknowledges and agrees that, in consultation with the Client’s Chief Executive Officer, the Asset Manager shall select liquidity providers to effect the purchase and sale of assets and to execute and deliver customer agreements with any liquidity provider in the name and on behalf of the Client, which liquidity providers may include Asset Manager Affiliates. The Asset Manager shall designate the liquidity providers through which transactions for the Account are executed at such prices and commissions that, in the Asset Manager’s good faith judgment, will be in the best interest of the Account. The Asset Manager shall have authority to and may consider such factors as price, transaction costs, a liquidity provider’s ability to effect the transactions, access to assets, reliability and financial responsibility, commitment of capital, and the provision or payment by the liquidity provider of the costs of research and research-related services which are of benefit to the Asset Manager or its clients, as well as other factors that the Asset Manager deems appropriate to consider under the circumstances. Accordingly, when the Asset Manager places orders for the purchase or sale of an asset for the Account, in selecting liquidity providers to execute such orders, the Client expressly authorizes the Asset Manager to consider the fact that a liquidity provider has furnished statistical, research or other information or services for the benefit of the Account directly or indirectly. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Asset Manager is authorized to cause the Account to pay commissions which may be in excess of the lowest rates available to liquidity providers who execute transactions for the Account or who otherwise provide research services utilized by the Asset Manager; provided that the Asset Manager determines in good faith that the amount of each such commission paid to a liquidity provider is reasonable in relation to the value of the research services provided by such liquidity provider viewed in terms of either the particular transaction to which the commission relates or the Asset Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to accounts as to which the Asset Manager exercises investment discretion.

(e) Controversies with Liquidity Providers. In the event of a controversy with any liquidity provider regarding any transaction, the Asset Manager shall advise the Client of such controversy and the circumstances thereof and thereafter the Asset Manager shall act in accordance with any written instructions of the Client to the extent consistent with this Agreement. The Client shall determine whether any proceedings or other actions shall be instituted with respect to such controversy; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Asset Manager from taking any action which it shall, under the circumstances then prevailing, reasonably determine to be necessary or desirable to protect the interests of the Account or otherwise to carry out its investment duties and responsibilities.

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

(g) Agency Cross Transactions. Consistent with applicable law, Client hereby authorizes the Asset Manager to enter into “agency cross transactions” effected by an Asset Manager Affiliate acting as an intermediary for both the Account and for the party on the other side of the transaction, in accordance with applicable law and subject to compliance with the Asset Manager’s applicable conflicts policies and procedures, as consistently applied. The Client understands and agrees that the Asset Manager or such Asset Manager Affiliate may receive commissions from and have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding, both parties to such agency cross transactions.

(h) Transactions with Affiliates. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Manager may cause the Account to enter into transactions and other arrangements with the Asset Manager, Asset Manager Affiliates or other investment funds or managed accounts managed by the Asset Manager or the Asset Manager Affiliates. In connection with such transactions, the Asset Manager will obtain any necessary approvals or otherwise comply with applicable laws. Client acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise determined by the Asset Manager in its discretion and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Guidelines set forth in Schedule B, any transactions (including staking, restaking and liquid staking) in digital assets with Asset Manager Affiliates shall not be considered principal transactions.

10. Client Records, Reports and Transparency.

(a) The Asset Manager shall maintain the books and records pertaining to the management and oversight of the Client Assets throughout the term of this Agreement and for a period of five years after the end of the year in which this Agreement terminates. Such books and records shall be made available for inspection and copying at any time by the Client reasonably requested and upon Client’s expense, upon no less than three business days’ prior written notice.

(b) The Asset Manager shall arrange for the Custodian to provide to the Client a real- time dashboard interface including, but not limited to, daily net asset value of the Account. Additional features and data points may be added to such real-time dashboard interface on an ongoing basis consistent with best market practices provided by other asset managers from time- to-time, within a time frame to be mutually agreed between the Asset Manager and the Client.

11. Liability.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(h)The federal laws may impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith; therefore, nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the undersigned may have under any applicable federal law.

12. Confidentiality. The Asset Manager shall regard as confidential all information concerning the affairs of the Client, but shall be permitted to disclose the Client’s confidential information to

(a) the Covered Persons and their respective service providers, in each case, that have a bona fide need to know such confidential information, (b) third parties regarding the fact that the Asset Manager is performing investment management activities on the Client’s behalf, which specifically includes the Asset Manager’s inclusion of references to the Client in written marketing materials distributed by the Asset Manager to prospective investment management clients, (c) third parties regarding information regarding Account holdings and performance (without reference to the Client’s name) in connection with the establishment of a track record of the Asset Manager and (d) as otherwise required by any regulatory authority, law or regulation, or by legal process. The Client acknowledges that it may receive or have access to confidential proprietary information of the Asset Manager which is proprietary in nature and non-public, including, without limitation, information regarding the Asset Manager’s investment methodologies, systems and forms, trade secrets and the like (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The Client agrees not to disclose or cause to be disclosed any Confidential Information to any person or use any Confidential Information for its own purposes or its own account, except in connection with its investment in the Account and except as otherwise required by any regulatory authority, law or regulation, or by legal process; provided, however, that the Client shall provide the Asset Manager with prior notice of any such disclosure and the circumstances surrounding such request so that the Asset Manager may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy by the disclosing party, the Client, in the written opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the Asset Manager, is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Client may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential information which such counsel advises the receiving party is legally required to be disclosed, provided that the receiving party exercise its best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the Asset Manager to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential information.

(f) Termination shall not affect liabilities or obligations incurred or arising from transactions initiated under this Agreement prior to such termination, including the provisions regarding arbitration, which shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

The remaining 70% of Client’s Available Capital shall be managed by Monarq (the “Monarq Allocation”). Neither Client nor its subsidiaries shall employ or contract with any other third party to provide the same or substantially similar services as provided by the Asset Manager with respect to the Asset Manager Allocation without the prior written consent of the Asset Manager, which may be withheld by the Asset Manager in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Manager’s consent shall not be required with respect to any asset management relationships relating to Client’s Available Capital that are not part of the Asset Manager Allocation.

(h) Asset Manager hereby appoints Monarq as sub-advisor to the Account Assets to reflect the intent of the Monarq Allocation to the extent the Account contains assets relating to both the Asset Manager Allocation and the Monarq Allocation.

Electronic communications include e-mail delivery as well as electronically making available to the Client Account Communications on the Asset Manager’s Internet site, if applicable.

It is the Client’s affirmative obligation to notify the Asset Manager in writing if the Client’s email address changes. The Client may revoke or restrict its consent to electronic delivery of Account Communications at any time by notifying the Asset Manager, in writing, of the Client’s intention to do so. Neither the Asset Manager nor its affiliates will be liable for any interception of Account Communications. The Client should note that no additional charge for electronic delivery will be assessed, but the Client may incur charges from its Internet service provider or other Internet access provider. In addition, there are risks, such as systems outages, that are associated with electronic delivery.

Subject to the restrictions in (2) and (3) below, the Asset Manager shall invest the Account Assets principally with a long-only strategy in the INJ token, including staking (and restaking) to improve returns.

The following transactions shall not be permitted without the prior approval of the Client:

Prohibited Investments

Any investment of a nature that would constitute “investment securities” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act or that would require the registration of the Client as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

As mutually agreed by the Parties in writing from time to time.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that (a) no assurance, representation or guarantee has been given to it by the Asset Manager, or by any other person, that the Asset Manager’s management of the Account will generate profits or that past results of the investment strategy or other clients of the Asset Manager are necessarily indicative of future performance; and (b) all risks relating to transactions effected by the Asset Manager on behalf of the Account under this Agreement shall be borne by the Client and all gains or losses accruing in respect of the Account Assets shall belong to and be borne by the Client.

Schedule C

Client’s List of Authorized Persons

Schedule D

Fees

Beginning on the Effective Date, for its services under the Agreement, the Client will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Asset Manager fees determined as follows.

Asset-based Fee

The Client shall pay the Asset Manager an asset-based fee (the “Asset-based Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum, of the Account Assets, which shall be calculated and paid at the end of each quarter, as determined by Asset Manager in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith, by reference to, where applicable, available prices on Coinmarketcap.com as of 4:00PM ET on such day. For any asset prices not available on Coinmarketcap.com, Asset Manager shall determine the value of such assets in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith by reference to reputable industry sources. For partial periods due to the Client contributing additional cash under the Asset Manager’s management or termination of the Asset Management Agreement to which this Schedule D is attached on any date that is not the last business day of a calendar month, the Asset-based Fee shall be prorated based on the number of days in each month on which the assets are managed).

For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that an Account Asset is staked shall not change the fees otherwise applicable to that asset set forth above.

The Asset Manager will render invoices quarterly to the Custodian and deduct directly the Asset- based Fee from the Account pursuant to its power-of-attorney.
