Stagewood Consortium, Inc (“Account Holder”, “Customer”, “you”, “your”) hereby requests and directs that Prime Trust, LLC (“Prime Trust”, “Custodian”, “we”, “our”, “us”), a Nevada chartered trust company, establish a Prime Asset Custody Account (“Account”) for and in the name of Account Holder, and to hold as custodian all assets deposited to, or collected with respect to such Account, upon the following terms and conditions:

 

1. APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN:

 

Account Holder hereby appoints Prime Trust to be custodian of and to hold or process as directed all securities, currency, cryptocurrency, and other assets of Account Holder (hereinafter referred to as “Custodial Property”) that are delivered to Custodian by Account Holder or Account Holder’s Agent(s) (as defined below) to the Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

2. SELF-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS:

 

a.This Account is a self-directed Account that is managed by Account Holder and/or Account Holder’s Agents. Prime Trust will act solely as custodian of the Custodial Property and will not exercise any investment or tax planning discretion regarding your Account, as this is solely your responsibility and/or the responsibility of advisors, brokers and others you designate and appoint as your agent for your Account (“Agents”), if any. Prime Trust undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, all of which are ministerial in nature.

 

b.As a self-directed Account, you acknowledge and agree that:

 

i.The value of your Account will be solely dependent upon the performance of any asset(s) chosen by you and/or your Agents.

 

ii.Prime Trust shall have no duty or responsibility to review or perform due diligence on any investments or other Custodial Property and will make absolutely no recommendation of investments, nor to supervise any such investments. You will perform your own due diligence on all investments and take sole responsibility for all decisions made for your Account.

 

iii.Prime Trust does not provide any valuation or appraisals of Custodial Property, nor does it hire or seek valuations or appraisals on any Custodial Property, provided, however, it may, at its option and with no obligation or liability, to the extent available for any particular asset, include recent price quotes or value estimates from various third-party sources, including but not limited to SEC-registered exchanges and alternative trading systems, digital asset exchanges, and real estate websites on your statement for any such Custodial Property. Prime Trust will not be expected or obligated to attempt to verify the validity, accuracy or reliability of any such third-party valuation, valuation estimates or prices and you agree that Prime Trust shall in no way be held liable for any such valuation estimates or price quotations. Prime Trust shall simply act in a passive, pass-through capacity in providing such information (if any) on your Account statements and that such valuation estimates or price quotations are neither verified, substantiated nor to be relied upon in any way, for any purpose, including, without limitation, tax reporting purposes. You agree to engage a professional, independent advisor for any valuation opinion(s) you want on any Custodial Property.

 

 

c.Account Holder will not direct or permit its Agents to direct the purchase, sale or transfer of any Custodial Property which is not permissible under the laws of Account Holder’s place of residence or illegal under US federal, state or local law. Account Holder hereby warrants that neither you nor your Agents will enter into a transaction or series of transactions, or cause a transaction to be entered into, which is prohibited under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the directions of the Account Holder or Agent(s), Prime Trust shall process the investment and reinvestment of Custodial Property as directed by Account Holder or its Agents only so long as, in the sole judgment of Prime Trust, such requested investments will not impose an unreasonable administrative burden on Prime Trust (which such determination by Prime Trust shall not to be construed in any respect as a judgment concerning the prudence or advisability of such investment). Custodian may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument believed by it to have been delivered from the Account Holder or its Agents, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein.

 

d.Buy and sell orders may, at Custodians discretion, be accepted verbally, including via telephone, or electronically, including email and internet-enabled devices and systems, provided, however, that Custodian may, but is not required to, require Account Holder or its Agents to promptly provide email, text or other confirmation to verify such instructions and any such instructions will not be deemed as received until verified in accordance with the Custodians then-in-effect policies and procedures. Account Holder acknowledges that any request to waive or change any policies or procedures for asset disbursements is done so at Account Holders risk. Prime Trust may decline to accept verbal asset transfer or trade instructions in its sole discretion and require written instructions, or instructions triggered from Account Holder or its Agents using tools while logged onto your account (either directly at www.primetrust.com or on any website or application that integrates into Prime Trust systems via API’s (“Application Programming Interfaces”), which may or may not bear the Prime Trust brand. Account Holder bears complete and absolute responsibility for all buy, sell, transfer, and disbursement instructions for this Account and will immediately notify Prime Trust of any unauthorized transactions.

 

e.Account Holder acknowledges and agrees that the custody of digital assets is generally subject to a high degree of risk, including without limitation, the risk of loss due to the blockchain or smart contract defects as well as forks and other events outside of the Custodian’s control. Such Custodial Property is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any Prime Trust insurance policies and so you are advised to directly obtain, at your sole cost and expense, any separate insurance policies you desire for such Custodial Property. Account Holder agrees that transfer requests, as well as sale and purchase orders, for digital assets may be delayed due to security protocols, time-zone differences, communication technology delays or fails, and/or enhanced internal compliance reviews. Accordingly, Prime Trust shall not be liable for any losses or damages, including without limitation direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or otherwise, resulting from delays in processing such transactions.

 

f.All instructions for the purchase and sale of securities and/or digital assets shall be executed through one or more broker-dealers or exchanges selected by either you or your Agents, or by Prime Trust, as an accommodation (and not in any capacity as a broker-dealer) and Prime Trust is hereby authorized to debit your account for any fees associated with such transaction(s) and remit those to the executing party.
