(a) As of the Effective Date, the Managing Member and the Initial Non- Managing Member were the sole members of the Company. Additional persons may be admitted as Members, and existing Members may increase their Capital Commitment to the Company (in each case, a "later-admitted Mond) at one or more closings (each, a "Cksing') only with the consent of both the Managing Member and the Initial Non-Managing Member. (b) Any later-admitted Member may be required to make a Capital Contribution of up to such later-admitted Member's pro rata share, based on the Members' respective Capital Commitments, of all Capital Contributions made by earlier-admitted Members (taking into account the Capital Commitments of other later-admitted Members admitted at the applicable Closing and any distributions made to the earlier-admitted Members) ("Catch-Up Contributions"). Catch-Up Contributions may (in the Managing Member's discretion) be retained by the Fund, or distributed (in whole or in pan) to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. Catch- Up Contributions distributed to Members shall be added back to their respective Unfunded Capital Commitments and be subject to recall by the Managing Member pursuant to Article IV. (c) Each later-admitted Member shall participate in all of the Company's Portfolio Investments and bear its share of all Organizational Expenses and Company Expenses in accordance with its Percentage Interest, as if such later-admitted Member had been admitted as of CRMID CURRENCY PARTNERI Operating Agnomen/ —Page 2 ACTIVE 3138872I 5v.2 EFTA01093476 CONFIDENTL4L SOLELY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENT the Initial Closing Date. The Managing Member shall adjust the Percentage Interests of the Members as necessary to take into account Capital Commitments from later-admitted Members. (d) Each additional person admitted as a Member shall execute and deliver to the Company any document(s) deemed appropriate by the Managing Member, including a counterpart of this Agreement. ARTICLE IV CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, AM) NONCONTRIBUTING MEMBERS 4.1 Capital Contributions Of The Members. (a) The Managing Member may require each Member to make one or more Capital Contributions in an amount equal to all or any portion of such Member's Unfunded Capital Commitment by providing a written notice to such Member pursuant to Section 4.1(b) (a "Capita/ Call') prior to the date on which such Capital Contribution shall be due (the "Ca!/ Date"). All Capital Contributions must be submitted by wire transfer or check in the form of cash; provided that the Managing Member may permit Members to contribute Crypto Currencies or other non-cash assets in the Managing Member's discretion. The Managing Member shall determine the value of any non- cash assets contributed in accordance with Section 12.1 as of the applicable Call Date; provided, that the value of any non-cash assets contributed by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be determined in accordance with that section. The Company may assess a special charge against the Member contributing non-cash assets equal to the actual costs the Company incurs in connection with accepting such assets, including the costs of liquidating those assets, adjusting the Company's portfolio to accommodate them, or performing special tax-related accounting functions. Any such special charge may be assessed as of the Call Date on which the assets are contributed or as of the end of the Period in which the Company incurred them. Such special charge shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and shall not reduce the contributing Member's Unfunded Capital Commitment. Each Member's Capital Commitment may be used for all Company purposes permitted herein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c) below, no Capital Calls shall be issued after the expiration of the Investment Period. (b) A Capital Call shall be in the form of a written notice given to all Members in any manner permitted by Section 13.10 at least 10 Business Days before the Call Date, provided, that such prior written notice shall not be required in connection with any Capital Contribution to be made at a Closing. A Capital Call shall specify, the dollar amount required to be contributed by the relevant Member, and the Call Date, and each Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution in the amount specified on that Call Date. The Managing Member may amend, delay or rescind Capital Calls at any time prior to the relevant Call Date. The amendment, delay or rescission of a Capital Call shall not affect or abridge the right of the Managing Member to issue any subsequent Capital Call. The Managing Member will generally be entitled to determine each Member's share of each Capital Call in its discretion; provided, that (for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement) no Member will be required to contribute more than his, her or its Unfunded Capital Commitment in response to any Capital Call. In addition, the Managing Member generally intends to "normalize" the Members' Capital Contributions so that the aggregate amount of capital contributed by the Members over the Investment Period will be in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests by the end of the Investment Period. Accordingly, any Member who, as of any Call Date, has contributed aggregate amounts in excess of his, her or its Percentage Interest of all Capital Contributions previously made by the Members may be excused (by the Managing Member, in its discretion) from making additional Capital Contributions until that excess is eliminated; similarly, any Member who has contributed less 01191D CURRENCI" PARTNERI' it Operating Agrertni —Page 3 ACTIVE 20.3887215v1 EFTA01093477 CONFIDENTL4L SOLELY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENT than his, her or its Percentage Interest of all such Capital Contributions may be required to make Capital Contributions in excess of his, her or its Percentage Interest until that shortfall is eliminated. (c) During the Harvesting Period, the Managing Member may only issue Capital Calls for the purpose of: (i) paying ongoing Organizational Expenses, Company Expenses and liabilities (or the establishment of reserves for such amounts); (ii) making investments that are in process as of the end of the Investment Period; (iii) making follow-on investments in existing Portfolio Investments; or (iv) enabling the Company to acquire a Defaulting Member's Interest pursuant to Section 4.2(b) below. 4.2 Co-investment with Para/lel Fund. For so long as the Investment Period and Harvesting Period coincide with the investment period and harvesting period of the Parallel Fund, respectively, the Managing Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to make Portfolio Investments, and to dispose of Portfolio Investments, contemporaneously and on part pasta terms with the Parallel Fund (with the understanding that the Company and the Parallel Fund will, to the extent practicable, participate in each such Portfolio Investment pro rata based on their available capital at the time of investment, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member). 4.3 Noncontributing Members. (a) The Company shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Member to make cash contributions up to the total amount of such Member's Capital Commitment and to pay back distributions as required herein, and the Company shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the event any such contribution or payment is not so made, including the right for the Company to apply proceeds that otherwise would be distributed to a noncontributing Member toward any delinquent contributions or required return of distributions (the "Wendt Amount'), or any costs or expenses described below. The Members agree that the Company's choice of remedies, including the remedies set forth in Sections 4.3(b) and 4.3(d) below, shall be at the Managing Member's sole discretion and shall be binding upon the other Members and the Company without any liability to the Managing Member. A noncontributing Member may, at the Managing Member's discretion, be required to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing such Member's contribution obligation, including attorneys' fees. Amounts so paid pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be treated as Capital Contributions and shall not reduce the noncontributing Member's Unfunded Capital Commitment. (b) Without limiting any right of the Company pursuant to Section 4.3(a) above, if any Member fails to make any of the contributions or payments when due, the Managing Member may, at its option, declare the Member to be in default (such event, an "Event of Default' and such Member, a "Defaulting Member"). The Managing Member shall provide such Defaulting Member notice of its default, which may give rise to the consequences set forth in this Section 4.3(b) and Section 4.3(d). In such case, the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may elect one or more of the following remedies (or any combination thereof): (i) cause the Defaulting Member to forfeit its right to participate in any Portfolio Investments made after the Event of Default•, cause the Defaulting Member to transfer all of its Interest to one or more Non-Defaulting Members selected by the Managing Member, which have agreed to purchase such Interest, effective immediately, at a transfer price equal to the lesser of (A) 50% of such Defaulting Member's Capital Account or (B) 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Member's Interest, determined by the Managing Member in accordance with Section 12.1. In such case, the Defaulting Member shall be treated as having no further Interest, and shall no longer be a Member; CRITMD CURRENCY PARTNERS II, LW Operating Agnomen/ —Page 4 ACTIVE 3138872 I 5v.2 EFTA01093478 C0NFIDENTL4L SOLELY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENT cause the Defaulting Member to sell all of its Interest to one or more third parties at a price determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances (which determination shall be final and binding on the Defaulting Member). Such Person or Persons shall, after executing such instruments and delivering such opinions and other documents as are in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member, be admitted to the Company as a substituted Member or Members with respect to such Interest, and shown as such on the books and records of the Company. In the case of a forced sale pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)(iii), the Defaulting Member shall be entitled to receive 50% of the proceeds of such forced sale, after deduction for any expenses incurred by the Company resulting from its default, and the Company shall be entitled to receive the remaining portion of such proceeds for distribution to the Non-Defaulting Members in a fair and equitable manner as determined in good faith by the Managing Member. After giving effect to any forced sale pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)(iii), the Defaulting Member shall be treated as having no further Interest, and shall no longer be a Member; and/or (iv) cause the Defaulting Member to (x) forfeit up to 50% of its Capital Account balance and (y) limit any future distributions of Current Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds to the Defaulting Member to amounts attributable to that reduced Capital Account balance and any future Capital Contributions. The amount of the Capital Account balance forfeited (and the right to future distribution of Capital Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds attributable thereto) shall be reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the Managing Member exercises its remedies under this Section 4.3(b)(iv) in respect of an Event of Default, the Defaulting Member shall not be relieved of its obligation to make Capital Contributions subsequent to such Event of Default. (c) Any distribution or payment to a Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 4.3(b) may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, be made in cash, in the form of a promissory note of the Company (bearing no interest), or any combination thereof. (d) At any time after an Event of Default, the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions with respect to the Default Amount•. (i) cause the Members to make additional Capital Contributions (not in excess of their Unfunded Capital Commitment) in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests to fund the Default Amount•, cause the Company to borrow funds to cover the Default Amount (including from the Managing Member); Oil) increase its own Capital Contribution to fund the Default Amount; or (iv) institute proceedings on behalf of the Company to recover the Default Amount, in which case the Defaulting Member shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing such the Default Amount, including attorneys fees. (e) If the Managing Member elects to take the action specified in Section 4.3(d)(i), the Managing Member shall make an additional Capital Call in accordance with Section 4.1 to the Non-Defaulting Members. (1) Each Member hereby agrees that the charging of expenses to a Defaulting Member and/or the buy-out or transfer of a Defaulting Member's Capital Account pursuant to the CRYPT° CURRENCY PARTNERIit 11-C Operating Agrertni —Pages ACTIVE 203887215v1 EFTA01093479 C0NFIDENTL4L SOLELY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENT above provisions of this Section 4.3 represent liquidated and agreed upon current damages to the Non-Defaulting Members for the default (it being agreed that it would be difficult to fix the actual damages to the Non-Defaulting Members). Each Member further agrees that the aforesaid liquidated damages provision constitutes reasonable compensation to the Company and its Non- Defaulting Members for the additional risks and damages sustained by them when and if any Member shall default on an obligation to pay any Capital Contribution when due. 4.4 Barbi Termination of the Investment Period. The Managing Member at any time may terminate the Investment Period if, in the good faith judgment of the Managing Member, changes in applicable law, regulation, case law, judicial or administrative order or decree or governmental license or permit, or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction, or in business conditions, make such termination necessary or advisable in the interests of the Company or any of the Members. ARTICLE V CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 5.1 Capital Accounts. (a) A separate capital account (the "Capital Account') shall be established and maintained for each Member. The Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with such Member's Capital Contributions to the Company, all Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.2 and any items of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.3 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; and shall be debited with all Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.2, any items of loss or deduction of the Company specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.3 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, and all cash and the Adjusted Asset Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Member.

In the event of any transfer of any Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Interest. (b) Except as may arise solely by reason of the operation of Section 13.6(b), no Member shall be required to pay to the Company or to any other Member the amount of any negative balance that may exist from time to time in such Member's Capital Account, including at the time of liquidation of the Company. 5.2 Allocation of Profit and Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss and deduction) for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation and after taking into account amounts specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 7.5 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Adjusted Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Adjusted Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), norm CURRENCY PARTNERS11, tic °Attains Agawam/ —Pay 6 ACTIVE 3138872 I 5v.2 EFTA01093480 CONFIDENTIAL SOLELY FOR INTENDED RECIPIENT and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 7.5 to the Members immediately after making such allocation, mimes 00 such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. The Managing Member shall be entitled to adjust the allocations of Profits and Losses (and items thereof) to take into account any of the economic provisions of this Agreement, including the timing and amount of actual distributions to the Members; provided, &mem that any such adjustment shall not affect the amount distributable to a Member pursuant to this Agreement. 5.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocations provided in this Article V shall be subject to the following exceptions: (a) Minimum Gain Chmgeback. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(0) during any Company taxable year, the Members shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2® and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(0. This Section 5.3(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-20) and 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) Quabfied Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in his Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible. This Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the "qualified income offset" requirement in such Regulation section shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Period that is in excess of the sum of: (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement•, and (i) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-20)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.3(c) have been tentatively made as if Section 5.3(b) and this Section 5.3(c) were not in this Agreement. (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Capital Contributions with respect to the related Portfolio Investment.

If any special allocations are made under Sections 5.3(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) (the "Regulate°, Allocations') the Managing Member may take such Regulatory Allocations into account in making subsequent allocations of Profits or Losses (or items thereof), and may make such further special allocations as may be necessary or appropriate so as to prevent such Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Company distributions will be divided among the Members pursuant to this Agreement. (g) Managing Member Expenses. To the extent, if any, that Managing Member Expenses and any items of loss, expense or deduction resulting therefrom are deemed to constitute items of Company loss or deduction rather than items of loss or deduction of the Managing Member, such Managing Member Expenses and other items of loss, expense or deduction shall be allocated 100% to the Managing Member. (h) Psyee Allocation. In the event any payment to any person that is treated by the Company as the payment of an expense is recharacterized by a taxing authority as a Company distribution to the payee as a partner, such payee shall be specially allocated an amount of Company gross income and gain as quickly as possible equal to the amount of the distribution. 5.4 Income Tax Allocations. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.4 or as otherwise required by the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, a Member's distributive share of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit for income tax purposes shall be the same as the adjustments to the Member's Capital Account pursuant to this Agreement. (b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Adjusted Asset Value, using any method under Treasury Regulation 1.704-3 as the Managing Member determines to be fair and reasonable. (c) In the event the Adjusted Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, in a manner that the Managing Member determines to be fair and reasonable. (d) No Member shall fde a notice with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 6222(6) of the Code in connection with such Member's intention to treat an item on such Member's federal income tax return in a manner which is inconsistent with the treatment of such item on the Company's federal income tax return unless such Member has, not less than 30 days prior to the filing of such notice, provided the tax matters partner with a copy of the notice and thereafter in a timely manner provides such other information related thereto as the tax matters partner shall reasonably request.
