WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into periodic Purchase & Sale Orders (referred to herein as “Orders”) for the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency as set forth herein and therein.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

 

SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE PURCHASED CRYPTOCURRENCY

 

Section 1.1 Orders. During the term of this Agreement and during Normal Market Conditions and pursuant to the defined Threshold herein, the Counterparty may submit an Order electronically to Galaxy, through the API or the Galaxy G-OTC Interface, on any given Trade Date. Upon receipt of the Order, Galaxy will electronically deliver details concerning the status of the Order and any relevant information (the “Confirmation” or “Confirmations”)1. With regards to filled Orders, the Confirmation(s) to the Counterparty will include the applicable cryptocurrency pair, side of market, Transaction Price, Transaction Time and Fill Quantity at which point the Order will be deemed to be agreed upon and become binding on both Parties at the time sent (“Completed Orders”).

 

Section 1.2 Settlement.

 

(a)          On each Trade Date, at 3PM ET, Galaxy will provide a report through email communication that identifies a summary of all Completed Orders and the Total Net Amount, in either cryptocurrency or cash, required to settle such Completed Orders (referred to herein as the “Settlement Summary”). Unless otherwise agreed, within one (1) hour of receiving the Settlement Summary from Galaxy (the “Counterparty Settlement Window”), Counterparty shall initiate the transfer of the cryptocurrency or cash, as applicable, to Galaxy’s wallet or bank account, as applicable, as provided by Galaxy. Such cryptocurrency or cash shall be delivered as promptly as reasonably possible. The delivery will be complete once (a) in the case of cryptocurrency, the transaction is verified by the relevant number of confirmations from the blockchain for the applicable cryptocurrency as reasonably determined by Galaxy, and the assets are available to

 

________________ 

1 With regards to the Galaxy G-OTC Interface, the Confirmation of Orders will be identified under the Execution section of the platform.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Galaxy in its designated digital wallet or (b) in the case of cash, the cash is available to Galaxy in its designated bank account.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding Section 1.2(a) and subject to Galaxy’s approval, Counterparty may elect to settle its Completed Orders prior to the time identified in Section 1.2(a) above by contacting Galaxy Operations at GalaxyOps@galaxydigital.io. The delivery will be complete once (a) in the case of cryptocurrency, the transaction is verified by the relevant number of confirmations from the blockchain for the applicable cryptocurrency as reasonably determined by Galaxy, and the assets are available to Galaxy in its designated digital wallet or (b) in the case of cash, the cash is available to Galaxy in its designated bank account. Any settled Completed Orders will be appropriately reflected in the Settlement Summary.

 

(c)          Should the Counterparty fail to initiate the transfer of the cryptocurrency or cash within the Counterparty Settlement Window and pursuant to Section 1.2(a), then Counterparty shall be assessed an “Additional Settlement Payment” on an ongoing, daily basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Settlement Payment will be assessed immediately after the end of the Counterparty Settlement Window and thereafter on the twenty-four (24) hour anniversary of the end of the Counterparty Settlement Window.

 

(d)          Following the delivery in accordance with Section 1.2(a), Galaxy shall initiate the transfer of cryptocurrency or cash, as applicable, to Counterparty’s wallet or bank account, as applicable, as provided by Counterparty. Counterparty acknowledges that Galaxy’s delivery may be delayed to any digital wallets or bank accounts that have not been pre-cleared by Galaxy in advance. Once Galaxy’s delivery is complete, the Completed Order is finally and irrevocably settled.

 

(e)           If a Party (a “defaulting Party”) fails to settle the relevant Completed Order in accordance with Sections 1.2(a), 1.2(b) or 1.2(c) above, disavows or repudiates any Completed Order or becomes insolvent or files for or enters bankruptcy or receivership proceedings as the debtor, then the other Party (the “non-defaulting Party”) may liquidate, close-out, cancel and/or terminate all Transactions (but not less than all). Any proceeds obtained from the liquidation of Transactions shall be applied to the discharge of the defaulting Party’s obligations to the non-defaulting Party. In lieu of liquidating one or more positions, the non-defaulting Party may elect to reasonably determine in good faith its total losses and costs (or gains, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with such Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of the non-defaulting Party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing of any covering transaction, hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them) and calculate amounts owed by the defaulting Party by taking into account such determination. The non-defaulting Party may also set-off, net, and recoup any obligations (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation) to the defaulting Party against any obligations (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation) to the non-defaulting Party.

 

Section 1.3 Term

 

(a)          In the event a Completed Order(s) is not settled within the Counterparty Settlement Window, Galaxy shall have the right to terminate such Completed Order(s) in Galaxy’s sole discretion.

 

(b)          Galaxy shall have the right to determine if an Order was initiated during Normal Market Conditions and may terminate such Purchase Order in Galaxy’s sole discretion.

 

(c)         In the event a Threshold is exceeded, Galaxy shall have the right to amend the Transaction Price of an Order or terminate such Order in Galaxy’s sole discretion.

 

(d)         This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated in writing by either Party, however, that any termination shall not affect the Parties’ obligations with respect to any completed Orders entered into prior to such termination.

 

Section 1.4 Errors

 

(a)          Errors may sometimes occur and such errors may impact the result of a given transaction. Galaxy reserves the right to reasonably determine whether an incorrect price results in an erroneous transaction. Erroneous transactions include but are not limited to (i) Transaction Prices that are significantly different than prevailing market prices at the Transaction Time; and (ii) Transaction Prices resulting from executions where Galaxy’s bid was greater than its offer at the same Transaction Time. Galaxy shall notify the Counterparty within twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the corresponding Confirmation if an erroneous transaction is identified. Galaxy, within its sole discretion, may reasonably declare the transaction null and void or both Parties may agree to modify the transaction.

 

 

 

 2 

 

 

(b)          Should a Counterparty identify an erroneous transaction, Counterparty must notify Galaxy of such error within twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the corresponding Confirmation. Galaxy, within its sole discretion, may determine whether an erroneous transaction occurred and may declare the transaction null and void or both Parties may agree to modify the transaction.

 

(c)          Galaxy will immediately notify Counterparty via email to trading@athenabitcoin.com in the event of any system failure, data feed error, interruption, delay, or other circumstance resulting in the inability to provide accurate pricing. After such email communication has been sent by Galaxy, Counterparty agrees that Galaxy will not be required to honor Transaction Price terms for any Completed Orders and that any resulting transaction is null and void. Galaxy will communicate to Counterparty once the issue is resolved and will resume honoring Transaction Prices thereafter.
