WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to provide that USCF consents to the licensing by SHIX of the SummerHaven Copper Index and the service mark SCI to Tidal Investments LLC or one of its related entities in connection with the USCF Daily Target 2X Copper Index ETF (the “ETF”);

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	Section 1(b) of the Agreement is revised to read as follows: “SHIX reserves all rights with<br> respect to each Index and the Service Marks except those expressly licensed to USCF hereunder; however, SHIX shall not grant any<br> license permitting the use of the Service Marks or any Index for an exchange-traded fund on any U.S. or foreign securities exchange<br> by any party other than USCF or the Fund (x) for as long as this Agreement remains in effect, and (y) for three (3) months following<br> the termination of this Agreement but only if a termination has occurred by SHIX under Section 3(a) or Sections 3(g)(i), 3(g)(ii) or<br> 3(g)(iv) hereto or by USCF under Section 3(a) hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the<br> contrary, and without otherwise impacting the exclusivity of the foregoing license, USCF acknowledges and agrees that SHIX may grant<br> a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to Tidal Investments LLC or one of its related entities permitting the limited use of the<br> SummerHaven Copper Index and the Service Mark SCI solely in connection with the ETF as set forth in the Services and Licensing<br> Agreement effective as of January 17, 2025 by and between SHIX and Tidal Investments LLC.”
2.	All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Agreement<br>shall be read and construed as if the terms of this Amendment were included therein by way of addition or substitution, as the case may<br>be.
---	---
3.	This Amendment shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws<br> of the State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of law principles.
---	---
4.	This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic mail and may be executed in two<br>or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute<br>one and the same agreement.
