3. Management Fees and Carry
3.1. Management Fees
Dedicated Multi-Signature Pool: 0.0063% of the Initial Entrusted Asset Amount or the Entrusted Asset Amount Post-Redemption (defined as below) of the Dedicated Multi-Signature Pool for each calendar day as management fees;Independent Multi-Signature Pools: 0.19% of the Initial Entrusted Assets of such asset management pool for each month.
Delegated Pool: 0.003% of the Initial Entrusted Assets Amount or the Entrusted Asset Amount Post-Redemption of the Delegated Pool for each calendar day as management fees.
Mixed Pools: 0.09% of the Initial Entrusted Assets of such asset management pool for each month.
The management fee is calculated based on the amount of the Digital Assets under management without taking the rise and fall of the value of such Digital Asset into consideration. The management fee shall be charged on a calendar day basis, and a daily fee shall be charged for any period less than one calendar day. The management fee is calculated on the basis of the Initial Entrusted Asset Amounts or the Entrusted Asset Amount Post-Redemption of the corresponding asset management pool, and shall be deducted by Cobo from the Entrusted Assets on the settlement date (the first Monday of the next calendar month) or before the redemption/entrustment termination date.
3.2. Carry
Cobo will collect carry on the Entrusted Assets under management according to the mechanism listed in the following table. The fees shall be settled once every calendar month. The first Monday of any calendar month anniversary of the management is the settlement date of asset management. It is calculated based on the initial total amount of Entrusted Aassets under management in the beginning of each settlement cycle or the Entrusted TotalAsset Amount Post-Redemption. Cobo will deduct Cobo's carry from the Entrusted Assets on the settlement date or before the redemption / entrustment termination date. The proportion is as follows:
|
CarryInterest Range |
Cobo’s fee rate within each carryinterest range |
Entrusting Party’s Share |
Cobo’s Share |

0~10%（including 10%） |

For example, if the Initial Entrusted Assets are 100 BTCs and 125 BTCs at the time of settlement, the yield will be 25 BTC, and the corresponding Cobo carry = 10 × 10%+10 × 20%+5 × 30% = 4.5 BTCs (only for the purpose of displaying carry, regardless of the collection of management fee).
The Entrusting Party confirms that the Digital Assets DeFi yield farming project has great risks, and carry mechanism in this agreement is not Cobo's commitment to breakeven and / or fixed income.

During the period from the initiation of redemption to the receipt of the principal of redemption, the gains and losses on the redemption amount between the redemption date to the receipt of the redemption amount shall be borne by the Entrusting Party. In the case of applying for redemption of partial assets, the minimum redemption amount shall be no less than [1,000,000 USDT] or equivalent digital currency and the minimum amount of the remaining unredeemed portion of the entrusted asset amount shall be no less than [1,000,000 USDT] or equivalent digital currency. The eEntrusted tTotalAsset aAmount pPost-rRedemption is calculated as below: Initial Entrusted Asset Amount*-redeemed amount (1-post fee profitredemption amount/total entrusted asset amount at redemption%) (“the Entrusted TotalAsset Amount Post-rRedemption).
3.4. Except for the management fee and carry agreed in this article and otherwise agreed by both parties, the Entrusting Party shall not pay any other fees to Cobo.
