to its obligations set forth herein, Superstate may, in its sole discretion, use the services
of a third party to perform some or all of such Transfer Agency Services, provided that
Superstate shall be ultimately responsible for the performance of any Transfer Agency
Services it provides directly or through the use of a third party and further provided that
any such third party shall be a registered transfer agent to the extent such third party
services are required to be provided by a registered transfer agent..

services set out in this Agreement, which shall include maintaining records of

chain Eligible Shares to investors or blockchain addresses that
are not on the Allowlist.

transfer or repurchase is legally authorized, and it shall incur no
liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers or
