PART TWO

PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION

The following paragraphs numbered 6, 7 and 8 are a description of the terms you will enter into with the Protocol on the Platform (the “Description”). The Description does not form part of our Agreement with you and is provided here for information purposes only. You should check the information on the Platform in respect of the Protocol which may differ from this Description and which will take precedence over it in the event of inconsistency or contradiction. Neither we nor any of our Affiliates make any representation or warranty in respect of the accuracy of this Description.

7. FIXED INTEREST PRODUCTS

7.1. Fixed interest rate products consist of pooled crypto loans at a fixed interest rate that settle on the End Date. The User (Liquidity Provider) provides Crypto-Assets (in the form of wETH, wBTC, EQX and/or Stablecoins) Staked in Vaults and Lending Pools operated by the Protocol for set periods of between 1 to 12 months, and which will have fixed rates attached to them. Select fiat currencies may be converted into Stablecoins by third-party providers. The fixed interest rate will be set by the Protocol at the time of depositing the Cryoto-Assets. In the event that the User requests the withdrawal of Staked Crypto-Assets before the End Date, the Protocol will assess if there are Crypto-Assets in the Vault or Lending Pool that have not been allocated to borrowers. If the Protocol determines that there are Crypto-Assets available for withdrawal it may apply penalties for that early withdrawal and transfer the net amount to your Wallet. The early withdrawal penalties will be as stated on the Platform and/or App as the case may be. Un-Staking may take up to 48 hours depending on network congestion and other factors. Unless otherwise stated on the Platform, early repayment of borrowed Crypto-Assets will not reduce the Interest payable up to the original End Date but bring its payment forward to the new End Date.

7.2. The Protocol will match Users who wish to borrow Crypto-Assets to the relevant pool of Crypto-Assets (each a “Liquidity Pool”) Staked by Users who wish to be Liquidity Providers. The Protocol facilitates five different pools, each having different loan period, namely: 1 month (Collateral Pool A). 3 months (Collateral Pool B), 6 months (Collateral Pool C), Collateral Pool D) and 12 months (Collateral Pool E). A Liquidity Pool is a collection of Vaults identified by the Protocol as having the same characteristics. Once Crypto-Assets are Staked in your Vault and have been matched and/or allocated by the Protocol, the fixed interest rate will be applied and Interest will accrue from the Start Date to the End Date.

7.3. Your principal Stake is at risk in the event of default by borrowers but the Protocol allocates your risk across as many borrowers as it determines suitable (although this cannot exclude the possibility of counterparty, market sector or other concentration risk).

7.4. Your Crypto-Assets that are Staked in a Vault will not be available to you until the End Date, at which time you will not receive the same Crypto-Assets back but will be entitled to receive Interest plus (in one transfer) the same amount of equivalent Crypto-Assets of the same type that you Staked in your Vault, provided that borrowers have not defaulted.

7.5. You may Instruct the Protocol to consider renewal at the End Date, but such renewal is not automatic and might not be immediate or happen at all (depending on the parameters considered by the Protocol).

8. INTEREST

8.1. Interest will be calculated by the Protocol on the principal, accrue daily and be paid at the End Date in either the Crypto-Asset you staked in the Vault or in Tokens depending on your preference stated at the time of staking your Crypto-Assets in the Vault. When the Crypto-Credit is repaid by the borrower at the End Date, the Protocol ensures that the collateral is returned to the borrower and (provided that borrowers have not defaulted) the principal and Interest are paid to you (the lender/Liquidity Provider).

9. LOAN PROTECTION PROTOCOL

9.1. The Protocol includes in its algorithm a Loan Protection Protocol built into the smart contract system. If the fair market value of the underlying collateral drops below the prescribed LTV at any valuation stamp, the Protocol will take remedial action in a phased approach designed to provide a level of automated safeguarding for the Liquidity Provider (lender) in the manner described below.

9.2. At a 20% reduction in the margin, the Protocol will send a notification to the borrower advising that additional collateral may be required in the near future.

9.3. At a 40% reduction in the margin, the Protocol will send a demand to the borrower requiring that the borrower return the Crypto-Credit to its original LTV by either: (a) providing additional collateral, or (b) repaying a portion of the Crypto-Assets. The Protocol requires this to be done by 11:59:59pm on the day the notification is sent or it will automatically liquidate the required amount of collateral to reset the LTV to the original ratio.

9.4. At a 60% reduction in the margin, the smart contract will automatically liquidate the required amount of the collateral to reset the LTV to the original ratio.

PART THREE

10. EVENT OF DEFAULT

10.1. Your breach of any representation made pursuant hereto, your failure to respond within 90 days to a notice sent in accordance with the Terms requesting you to do so, or the use of the Product in your jurisdiction being determined by regulation, guidelines, laws or courts of competent jurisdiction to be illegal there, shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) permitting us (and/or our Affiliates) to without further notice: (a) close, limit or suspend your Account, (b) freeze any pending Transactions; (c) withdraw the provision of Products and/or Services to you; and/or (e) take such action (including realization, liquidation, distribution and/or transfer of Crypto-Assets in your Wallet and/or Vault and, in the case of Recipients, held in escrow) as we or our Affiliates deem necessary or desirable to protect our or their interests and/or those of Users (including applying the proceeds of such realization and/or liquidation to, and/or netting or setting them off against, amounts owing to or claimed by us or any one or more of our Affiliates).

11.7.
