Redemption of Creation Baskets. (a) The following procedures, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Participant Agreement for each Participant, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of such Participant Agreement (and any such amendment will not constitute an amendment of this Declaration of Trust), apply to the redemption of Creation Baskets.
Redemption of Creation Baskets. (i) The procedures by which an Authorized Participant can redeem one or more baskets mirror the procedures for the creation of Creation Baskets with an additional safeguard on bitcoin or cash, if any, being removed from the Trust’s Bitcoin Custodian or cash custodian account. On any Business Day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Transfer Agent to redeem one or more Creation Baskets (each, a “Redemption Order”). Redemption Orders must be placed by the Redemption Order Cut-Off Time. A Redemption Order so received shall be effective on the date it is received in satisfactory form by the Transfer Agent (“Redemption Order Date”). The redemption procedures shall allow Authorized Participants to redeem baskets but do not entitle an individual Beneficial Owner to redeem any Shares in an amount less than a Creation Basket, or to redeem Creation Baskets other than through an Authorized Participant.

The Redemption Settlement Date shall be the immediately following Business Day after the Redemption Trade Date, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The Liquidity Provider, not the Authorized Participant, shall be responsible for purchasing Ether from the Trust, and the Authorized Participant hereby acknowledges that the Liquidity Provider is not acting as an agent of the Authorized Participant in purchasing Ether from the Trust. By 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (or such other time as the parties may agree) on the Redemption Trade Date, the Administrator will calculate and transmit the (1) Basket Cash Component, minus (2) the Cash Amount, and minus (3) any amount by which the actual cash sale price of the Ether to the Liquidity Provider is less than the adjusted Basket Cash Component (“Redemption Slippage”), to the Authorized Participant (collectively, the Basket Cash Component, minus the Cash Amount, minus the Redemption Slippage, the “Required Cash Redemption Total”), which the Trust shall be responsible for instructing the Cash Custodian to deliver in cash on the Redemption Settlement Date to the Authorized Participant’s designated bank account. The Trust acknowledges that, if the actual cash sale price realized from selling Ether to the Liquidity Provider is above the Basket Cash Component, the Authorized Participant shall be entitled to retain the difference and the Required Cash Redemption Total shall be increased accordingly.
