The actual amount of each Payment and the dates upon which the same is due will be set forth in the applicable Loan Schedule. To the extent that the description of the Payments set forth above differs from the terms of payment set forth on the applicable Loan Schedule, the terms of such Loan Schedule (as supplemented and modified from time to time) shall govern and control. The outstanding principal amount of each Loan (together with all then unpaid interest accruing thereon) and all other Obligations under the applicable Loan Schedule for such Loan and under the other Loan Documents related thereto) shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date if not paid earlier in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents (including the applicable Loan Schedule as supplemented and modified from time to time). Payments by the Loan Parties to the Lender under each Loan Schedule shall be in legal U.S. tender in immediately available funds. The obligations of the Loan Parties to pay all Payments is absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (including, without limitation, any malfunction, defect, failure in delivery or any inability to use any Item of Equipment) and shall be paid and performed by the Loan Parties without notice or demand and without any abatement, reduction, diminution, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever, including, without limitation, any past, present or future claims that any Loan Party may have against the Lender, any Supplier or any other Person whatsoever. To the fullest extent permissible under any Requirements of Law, each of the Loan Parties waives demand, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment and notices and rights of every kind. Payments shall be due on the applicable Payment Date irrespective of whether any Loan Party receives an invoice therefor.

(d) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at the election of the Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Default, (A) all outstanding Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at the Applicable Default Rate and (B) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in cash on demand of the Lender. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations at the Applicable Default Rate after the filing by or against any of the Loan Parties of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.

(e) Prepayments.

(i) Voluntary Prepayments. No Loan Schedule may be canceled or terminated by any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever. No Loan Party shall prepay or prepay any portion of the outstanding principal balance of any Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date therefor except that the Loan Parties may prepay all of the principal of all Loans then outstanding in whole, but not in part, together with all interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations of Loan Parties hereunder or under any Loan Schedule or other Loan Documents, in each case, which have accrued or which would have accrued up to and including the applicable Maturity Date, and solely to the extent concurrent with the termination of this Master Agreement, so long as the Borrower Representative gives the Lender at least twenty ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice of the applicable Loan Parties’ intention to irrevocably and permanently prepay all Loans and other Obligations in cash in full and terminate this Master Agreement, which notice shall be irrevocable.

(ii) Mandatory Prepayments; Proceeds on Specified Collateral.

(1) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Casualty Event, the Borrower Representative shall pay (or direct the Loan Parties to pay), within five (5) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are so received, prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided that, so long as no Event or Default then exists, then by not later than the fifth (5) day after such receipt thereof, the Borrowers may elect to deposit such proceeds into an ACA Account subject to a ACA Account Agreement for the benefit of the Lender and deliver to the Lender a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower Representative (a “Reinvestment Certificate”) (x) notifying the Lender that the Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) the applicable Item(s) of Equipment subject to such Casualty Event (“Replacement Equipment”), and (y) certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon delivery of such Reinvestment Certificate until the earliest of (A) the one hundred twentieth (120^th) day after receipt of such Net Proceed, (B) the date on which an Event of Default occurs or (C) the date on which the Loan Parties elect not to acquire, replace or rebuild the applicable Item(s) of Equipment (the earliest date, the “Reinvestment Period End Date”), the Loan Parties shall have the right to reinvest such Net Proceeds in Replacement Equipment and no prepayment with such Net Proceeds shall be required until the earliest of the Reinvestment Period End Date. It being understood that if any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such period, a prepayment of the remaining Net Proceeds shall be required at such time;

provided further, that non-withstanding the threshold set forth in the first sentence of this section (1) above, if the Net Proceeds of any such Casualty Event are greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then outstanding principal amount of all Loans (an “Increased Prepayment Event”), then the Loan Parties shall not have the option to reinvest such Net Proceeds in Replacement Equipment and must instead immediately pay in full to the Lender the outstanding principal balance of all Loans and all other Obligations not later than the fifth (5) day after receipt of such Net Proceeds.

(2) Each payment received as a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3(e)(ii)(1) in respect of a Casualty Event of Specified Collateral, shall be applied as follows: (i) first to any fees, expenses and indemnified amounts then owed to Collateral Agent , (ii) second, to any fees then owed to the Specified Lender whose Specified Collateral was subject to the applicable Casualty Event pursuant to the applicable Loan Schedule, (iii) third, to accrued and outstanding interest with respect to the principal balance of the Specified Loan whose Specified Collateral was subject to the applicable Casualty Event pursuant to the applicable Loan Schedule, (iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the Specified Loan whose Specified Collateral was subject to the applicable Casualty Event, applied to remaining obligations on such Loan in the manner determined by the Specified Lender in its sole discretion and (v) fifth, to any expenses or indemnified amounts then owed to the Specified Lender whose Specified Collateral was subject to the applicable Casualty Event pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or otherwise. Any excess proceeds of a mandatory prepayment under this Section 3(e)(ii), after application pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall be returned to the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such excess proceeds shall then be applied as set forth in Section 3(f) hereof (any such application of excess proceeds, together with any application of proceeds of a Casualty Event of non-Specified Collateral, application of excess proceeds pursuant to Section 3(e)(ii)(3) and any application of excess proceed pursuant to Section 3(e)(iii), in each case applied pursuant to 3(f) being hereinafter referred to as a “Specified Collateral Sharing Event”).

(3) Except in the event of a Casualty Event subject to Section 3(e)(ii)(1) and (2) above, each Payment received as a result of the application of Net Proceeds received in respect of Specified Collateral under Section 9(b) or otherwise shall be applied as follows: (i) first to any fees, expenses and indemnified amounts then owed to Collateral Agent , (ii) second, to any fees then owed to the Specified Lender pursuant to the applicable Loan Schedule, (iii) third, to accrued and outstanding interest with respect to the principal balance of the Specified Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Schedule, (iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the Specified Loan, applied to remaining obligations on such Loan in a manner determined at the sole discretion of the Specified Lender and (v) fifth, to

any expenses or indemnified amounts then owed to the Specified Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or otherwise. Any excess proceeds of Specified Collateral, after application pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall be applied as set forth in Section 3(f) hereof.

(f) Application of Payments. Except (x) as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding sentence or (y) with respect to any mandatory prepayment amounts under Section 3(e)(ii) not subject to a Specified Collateral Sharing Event, which shall be applied as set forth therein, payments by the Loan Parties in respect of the Obligations hereunder shall be applied (i) first, to any fees and expenses or indemnified amounts then owed to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any outstanding Attorneys’ Fees, or any other fee or charge provided for under this Master Agreement, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or otherwise, (ii) second, to any fees then owed to each then existing Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any fee or charge provided for under this Master Agreement, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or otherwise (in each case, on a pro-rata basis to each Lender based on the fee amounts then owed to each such Lender), (iii) third, to accrued and outstanding interest with respect to the principal balance of the Loans, irrespective of which Loan such accrued interest relates to (in each case, on a pro-rata basis to each Lender based on the interest then owed to each such Lender), (iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, which allocation of payments with respect to principal shall be applied pro-rata to each then existing Loan based on the principal then owed to each such Lender, and applied to remaining obligations on each such Loan in a manner determined at the sole discretion of Lender for such Loan, and (v) fifth, to any expenses or indemnified amounts then owed to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or otherwise (and on a pro-rata basis to each Lender based on the expenses and indemnified amounts then owed to each such Lender). Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time NYDIG transfers, assigns or sells any participation in its right to receive Payments hereunder, or under any Loan Schedule, such that more than one Person has any interest or right to any payments from the Loan Parties, NYDIG and such Person(s) may, among themselves, agree to the specific allocation of Payments made by the Loan Parties; provided that in the absence of any such agreement, any payments made by the Loan Parties in respect of fees, expenses, principal and accrued interest shall be apportioned ratably as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) Insufficiency of Funds. If the funds on deposit in each ACA Account are insufficient to pay any amounts otherwise due and payable on a Payment Date or otherwise, the Loan Parties nevertheless remain jointly and severally responsible for, and shall pay when due, all Loans and other amounts and Obligations from time to time due and payable under this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with interest accrued as set forth in Section 3(c) from the date when due until paid hereunder.

(h) Interest Rate Limitation. Each of the Loan Parties and the Lender and each of the other persons from time to time holding part of the Obligations intend this Master Agreement and each other Loan Document to comply in all respects with all provisions of applicable law and not to violate, in any way, any legal limitations on interest charges. Accordingly, if, for any reason,

the Loan Parties are required to pay, or have paid, interest at a rate in excess of the highest rate of interest which may be charged by the Lender or which the Loan Parties may legally contract to pay under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), then the interest rate applicable to such affected Loans and related Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and immediately, to the Maximum Rate, and interest payable hereunder and under the applicable Loan Schedule shall be computed and paid at the Maximum Rate and the portion of all prior payments of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the outstanding principal of the Loans and applied as partial prepayments.

(i) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up.

(i) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3(i)), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(ii) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(iii) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(i), such Loan Party (or the Borrower Representative on their behalf) shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(iv) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor together with reasonable supporting information, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v) Status of Foreign Lenders. (i) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Master Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Master Agreement.

Each Foreign Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall automatically be deemed to assign to the applicable Borrowers all warranties, if any, in the purchase and other agreements with respect to the Equipment. Prior to such Commencement Date, the Lender will retain (without interference from the Loan Parties) the right to purchase any or all Equipment in the event (i) any Loan Party attempts to cancel or terminate the Loan Schedule for such Equipment, or (ii) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that, irrespective of whether the applicable Supplier has entered into an agreement with a Loan Party or the Lender, the amount financed by the Lender may or may not reflect any discount or other arrangement between the Lender and such Supplier and any such variation in the cost of such Equipment shall not affect the Payments owed by the Borrowers to the Lender set forth in such Loan Schedule. Nothing herein shall imply that the Lender sells or provides any Equipment to any Loan Party or is otherwise a supplier or vendor thereof or in the stream of commerce for any Equipment.

time evidencing or relating to any of the foregoing; (xix) without limiting the generality of the foregoing subclauses (i) through (xviii), all agreements, contracts, warranties, invoices, purchase orders and other agreement, instruments and documents with the Supplier of the Equipment or service provider with respect thereto (including under any Supplier Contract or any Acknowledgment of Rights Agreement in connection with any Supplier Contract); and (xx) all proceeds, products, rents, offspring, or profits of any and all of the foregoing; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in no case shall any Lien be granted on any Excluded Assets (and for so long as any assets of the Borrowers are Excluded Assets, they shall not be “Collateral” for the purposes of the Loan Documents, (B) with respect to any Collateral constituting Specified Collateral in which a security interest is granted under any Loan Schedule, the Loan Parties, Collateral Agent and the Lender agree that any proceeds of Specified Collateral shall first be applied to the Specified Loan in accordance with Section 3. Title to the Collateral shall at all times be either in a Borrower’s name, subject to the security interest of Collateral Agent, or in the name of Collateral Agent and any certificate of title for the applicable Collateral (to the extent applicable) shall designate the Borrowers as owner and Collateral Agent, as lien holder.

(b) Authorization to File UCC Financing Statements; Control.

(i) Authorization to File UCC Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file, and if requested will deliver to Collateral Agent, all financing statements and other documents and take such other actions as may from time to time be requested by Collateral Agent in order to maintain a first priority perfected security interest in and, if applicable, Control (as hereinafter defined) of, the Collateral and all “Specified Collateral”. Any financing statement filed by Collateral Agent may be filed in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction and may (A) indicate the collateral (1) as “all assets” of the Borrowers or “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned by or owing to or hereafter acquired by or arising in favor of the debtor and wherever located, including all accessions to, substitutions for and replacements, insurance proceeds and products of the foregoing” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral or any Specified Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) by any other description which reasonably approximates the description of the Collateral contained in this Master Agreement or the description of any Specified Collateral contained in any Loan Schedule, as applicable, and (B) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (1) whether a Borrower is an organization, the type of organization (and any organization identification number issued to such Borrower), and (2) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Each Loan Party further authorizes Collateral Agent to file financing statement assignments and to act as secured party of record with respect to any UCC financing statement filed against the Borrowers to perfect the security interest of the Borrowers, as buyers, in the “Equipment” and “Purchased Equipment Assets” under the Affiliate Sale Agreement. Upon request, the Loan Parties also agree to promptly furnish to Collateral Agent any such information described in the foregoing sentences. Each Loan Party also ratifies its authorization for Collateral Agent to have filed in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

(ii) Perfection by Control. Upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor, each Loan Party shall take all steps necessary to grant Collateral Agent Control, and to ensure that Collateral Agent retains such Control, of all Collateral (including, without limitation, any Collateral in an ACA Wallet) as to which Control thereof is necessary or desirable under the UCC, or as Collateral Agent may determine necessary, to ensure that Collateral Agent retains a first perfected Lien over any such Collateral (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances)

(iii) Release. Upon the payment in full in cash in immediately of the Obligations under a specified Loan Schedule, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower may request that the Collateral Agent and the Lender release the security interests in Equipment financed and granted under a specific Loan Schedule and the corresponding security interest with respect to such Equipment under this Master Agreement by delivery of an officer’s certificate requesting such release and certifying that no Default or Event of default then exists or would result upon giving effect to such release. Upon giving effect to such release, all rights of the Secured Parties to such Equipment specified in such Loan Schedule shall revert to the applicable Borrower and such Loan Schedule and all Obligations (other than those contingent indemnification obligations not yet asserted and other obligations expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Loan Parties relating to such Loan Schedule shall automatically terminate. At the request and sole expense of the Loan Parties following any such termination of a Loan Schedule, Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party such release documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence such termination. Following any such termination of a Loan Schedule, Collateral Agent authorizes the Loan Parties to filing an amendment to the UCC financing statement filed pursuant to such Loan Schedule to evidence the release of such Equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of any Loan Schedule shall not authorize any Loan Party to terminate any UCC financing statement filed pursuant to this Master Agreement, which such UCC financing statements shall not be terminated until the obligations under this Master Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full in cash in immediately available funds.

As used in this Section 5(b), “Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable UCC.

(c) Casualty Event. The Loan Parties shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the Equipment and other Collateral in connection with any Casualty Event, from any cause whatsoever. No Casualty Event shall relieve any Loan Party from making any Payment or any other obligations hereunder.

(d) Use of Equipment; Quiet Possession. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Borrower shall have quiet possession of the Equipment during the Term of the applicable Loan. The Equipment shall not constitute, and each of the Loan Parties shall ensure that it shall not constitute, real property or fixtures, and the parties agree that the Equipment is and shall be removable from, and is not essential to, the premises where the Equipment is located.

(e) Acceptable Lien Waiver. The Borrowers may move Equipment to any Borrower’s location set forth in a Loan Schedule or other location owned or leased by a Borrower where the Borrowers have received an Acceptable Lien Waiver from all persons having any interest in the real estate upon which such Equipment is located, stored or garaged; provided that if such location is not the location for such Equipment previously identified to the Lender, not later (x) than the

tenth (10^th) Business Day of the month following such change, the Borrower Representative shall deliver an update notifying the Collateral Agent of the location of such Item of Equipment or (y) following an Event of Default, the next Business Day after such change (the “Applicable Location Reporting Date”).

(f) DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS FINANCED “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ANY BORROWER IS ACQUIRING THE EQUIPMENT DIRECTLY FROM A SUPPLIER OR FROM THE LENDER: (i) THE LENDER DOES NOT MAKE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT, ITS MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ITS DESIGN, CONDITION, CAPACITY, DURABILITY, QUALITY OF MATERIAL, OPERATION OR WORKMANSHIP, CONFORMITY OF ANY DESCRIPTION OR PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT, OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUIPMENT WHATSOEVER; (ii) THE LENDER IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF THE EQUIPMENT NOR THE MANUFACTURER’S OR SUPPLIER’S AGENT AND NO SUCH PERSON IS THE LENDER’S AGENT FOR ANY PURPOSE; (iii) THE LENDER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS OR SERVICE TO ANY EQUIPMENT, DEFECTS THEREIN OR FAILURES IN THE OPERATION THEREOF OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EQUIPMENT, DEFECTS, OR FAILURES; AND (iv) THE BORROWERS HAVE SELECTED EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT BASED ON THEIR OWN JUDGMENT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RELIANCE UPON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY THE LENDER.

and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally). The transactions contemplated by this Master Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by any Loan Schedule when entered into, do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(c) Liens.

Each Loan Party and to the knowledge of any other person who Controls any Loan Party is not a Sanctioned Person or subject to any Sanctions and each Loan Party and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, each director, officer, employee and agent thereof is in compliance with all applicable Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and AML Laws (including, without limitation, any federal regulations to prevent money laundering) and no Loan Party is, nor, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, is any director, officer, employee or agent of any Loan Party (A) the subject of any Sanctions, or (B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of any Sanctions.

(g) Solvency. Each Loan Party is Solvent and has the ability to pay such Loan Party’s debts when they come due and no Loan Party is contemplating and has not contemplated relief under any bankruptcy laws or other similar laws for the relief of debtors.

Since September 30, 2021, no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate has occurred that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent’s financial condition reflected therein after the respective date thereof upon delivery to the Lender.

(i) Taxes. Each Loan Party has timely filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary of the Borrowers, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves. No tax Liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes.

No Loan Party nor any Subsidiaries of the Borrowers is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any law that limits the ability to incur debt or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations under the Loan Documents unenforceable.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall be continuing in nature and in effect at all times prior to the Loan Parties satisfying all of their Obligations including any obligations to Lender under each Loan Schedule, this Master Agreement and/or any other Loan Documents.

(f) Use and Maintenance of Equipment; Registration; Supplier Arrangements.

(i) (A) each Borrower will (and Parent shall cause the Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Borrowers to) maintain and use the Equipment in a prudent, businesslike manner for its originally-intended purpose, in the ordinary course of the Borrowers’ business, and only in accordance with applicable laws, Supplier or manufacturer warranty provisions, requirements of insurance, operating manuals and instructions, rules, regulations, and orders of any judicial, legislative or regulatory body having power to supervise or regulate the use, operation or maintenance thereof, including licenses, permits and registration requirements, except to the extent

If any Borrower gives the Lender prior written notice of its intention to make any modification to any Item of Equipment (hereinafter, a “Reconfiguration”) in compliance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence (which compliance shall be determined in the Lender’s sole discretion), such Reconfiguration shall constitute an improvement and neither such improvements nor parts installed on such Equipment in the course of Reconfiguration shall be deemed to be accessions to the Equipment.

(ii) Without limiting any of Loan Parties’ obligations in Section 7(f)(i) above or elsewhere in this Master Agreement or any Loan Schedule, each Loan Party covenants and agrees that for all Items of Equipment, the Loan Parties will make (and will cause the Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Borrowers to make) arrangements satisfactory to the Lender in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to keep the Equipment properly maintained.

The Loan Parties shall, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, commencing with the delivery of any Equipment to or on behalf of any Borrower and continuing during the Term of each Loan Schedule until all of the Obligations are satisfied in full, procure and maintain such insurance coverage in such amounts (including deductibles), in such form and with responsible insurers, all as satisfactory to the Lender (which, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may on reasonable notice require the Loan Parties to change such form, amount or company, in each case consistent with industry standards for similar businesses, in similar regions, with similar credit quality), including: (i) comprehensive

general liability insurance insuring against liability for property damage, death and bodily injury resulting from the transportation, ownership, possession, use, operation, performance, maintenance, storage, repair or any similar act related to the Equipment, with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per each occurrence (or such other amounts as set forth in such Loan Schedule and notified by the Lender), with the Lender and the Lender’s successors and/or assigns named as additional insured; (ii) all risk physical damage insurance against all risks of theft, loss or damage from every cause whatsoever in an amount not less than the Replacement Cost of each item of Equipment, with the Lender and the Lender’s successors and/or assigns named as lender loss payee; and (iii) if requested by the Lender, other or additional coverage provided that such coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms. Each Loan Party shall cause such Loan Party’s insurance carrier to waive its rights of subrogation, if any, against the Lender for any and all loss or damage.

Each Loan Party agrees that the Lender is not a seller of insurance nor is the Lender in the insurance business. Each Loan Party agrees to deliver to the Lender evidence of compliance with this Section satisfactory to the Lender, including any requested copies of policies, certificates and endorsements, with premium receipts therefor, on or before the date of execution by the applicable Loan Parties of the Loan Schedule and thereafter within two (2) Business Days after the Lender’s request and in any event, no less frequently than on each anniversary of the Closing Date.

(i) declare any Loan of such Lender then outstanding to be due and payable in whole, whereupon the principal of each such Loan so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become due and payable immediately, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each of the Loan Parties; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b), in the case of any event with respect to any Loan Party described in Section 9(a)(vii), (ix) or (x), the principal of each Loan then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each of the Loan Parties;

(iii) enter, occupy and use any premises, with or without judicial process, where all or any part of the Collateral, Specified Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or Specified Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to operate or conduct sales of the Collateral or Specified Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates for such use and occupancy;

In the event Collateral Agent Disposes of any Specified Collateral pursuant to and permitted by this Master Agreement, Collateral Agent shall distribute such Collateral or proceeds thereof in the manner set forth in Section 3(e)(ii).

(d) Dispositions Generally. With respect to any exercise by the Lender or Collateral Agent of its right to Dispose of any Items of Equipment, Specified Collateral or other Collateral, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the Lender or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have no obligation, subject to any Requirement of Law, to clean-up or otherwise prepare any Collateral or Specified Collateral for Disposition; the Lender and Collateral Agent may comply with any Requirement of Law that the Lender or Collateral Agent, respectively, deems to be applicable or prudent to follow in connection with any such Disposition; and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such Disposition. If Equipment delivered to or picked up by Collateral Agent or the Lender contains goods or other property not constituting Equipment, each Loan Party agrees that Collateral Agent or the Lender may take such other goods or property, provided that Collateral Agent or the Lender, as applicable, makes reasonable efforts to make such goods or property available to the Borrowers after repossession following the Borrowers’ reasonable written request. If, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, any Loan Schedule is placed in the hands of an attorney, collection or civil enforcement agent or other professional for collection of Payments or other amounts or enforcement of any other right or remedy of the Lender under this Master Agreement, any Loan Schedule or otherwise, the Loan Parties shall, upon demand, pay all Attorneys’ Fees and associated costs and expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by any Requirement of Law, each Borrower waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by Requirement of Law or otherwise that may require the Lender or Collateral Agent to sell, lease or otherwise use any Collateral or Specified Collateral in mitigation of the

Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s damages set forth herein or in such Loan Schedule or that may otherwise limit or modify any of the Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies. Each Loan Party agrees that the Loan Parties shall remain liable for all amounts due hereunder, including any deficiency remaining after any Disposition of any Collateral or Specified Collateral after an Event of Default. Each remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to the Lender or Collateral Agent at law or in equity. No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any of the Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s other rights or remedies. Subject to any Requirement of Law, (i) the Lender and Collateral Agent may dispose of any Equipment and other Collateral or Specified Collateral, respectively, at a public or private sale or at auction, and (ii) the Lender and/or Collateral Agent may buy at any sale and become the owner of the Equipment or other Collateral or Specified Collateral. The Lender and Collateral Agent may (A) sell the Equipment and other Collateral and Specified Collateral, as applicable, without giving any warranties as to such Equipment, Collateral, or Specified Collateral, as applicable, and (B) disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment, or the like, and neither of the foregoing will be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other Disposition of the Collateral or Specified Collateral.

(e) Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 9 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Loan Party hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Lender, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Loan Party) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof..

(f) Setoff Rights. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all cash, money, deposit account balances, Mined Cryptocurrency or other Digital Assets at any time held, in the possession of, or otherwise controlled by, such Person, and other obligations at any time owing by the Lender or any Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party, against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Loan Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to an Affiliate of the Lender different from the Lender or any other Affiliate holding, controlling or possessing such cash, money or Digital Assets, or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each of Collateral Agent and the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such parties may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, all such amounts set off and applied by any Lender or its Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9(f) shall be conveyed by such Lender to Collateral Agent for ratable distribution to the Lenders in accordance with Section 9(c).

(g) Digital Assets. With respect to Digital Assets, each of the Loan Parties agree that the Digital Assets pledged as Collateral are of a kind or type customarily sold on recognized markets, subject to standard price quotations and may threaten to decline speedily in value. Each Loan Party agrees that upon an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may, at its discretion and at any time, and without limiting any other remedies available hereunder or under applicable law (i) liquidate the pledged Digital Assets into U.S. dollars at the price determined by Collateral Agent using commercially reasonable pricing methods customarily used in the exchange or over-the-counter markets for Digital Assets, without notice to any Loan Party and (ii) setoff and apply the Net Proceeds of such liquidation to the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 3(f). Each Loan Party agrees that if Collateral Agent or the Lender exercises any setoff rights or secured party remedies with respect to any Borrower’s Digital Assets, that Collateral Agent or the Lender may value the Digital Assets (with or without liquidation) using the method above, using the same valuation method and same process that is otherwise used in its business or using any other commercially reasonable valuation method. Each of the Loan Parties, the Lender and Collateral Agent agree that the actions described in the previous two sentences shall be commercially reasonable under the applicable UCC. Each of the Loan Parties understands and agrees that the value of the pledged Digital Assets may rise or fall quickly and that neither the Lender nor Collateral Agent has any obligation to exercise remedies or liquidate the Digital Assets at a time that provides the best price for the Loan Parties. Neither the Lender nor Collateral Agent shall be liable to any Loan Party for any losses on Digital Assets related to any disposition or valuation thereof.

(ii) Upon the prior written consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), additional borrowers may be added under this Master Agreement from time to time. The Loan Parties shall cause any Person that becomes an additional borrower under this Master Agreement to (i) provide all documentation and other information requested in accordance with Section 4, (ii) affirm the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6, (iii) comply with the covenants set forth in Section 7 and Section 8 and (iv) guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations set forth in Section 10(l).

respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) Expenses. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 10(d), the Loan Parties shall pay to the Lender or Collateral Agent, their Affiliates, and their successors and assigns, agents and employees, promptly upon request all (i) reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, Collateral Agent, and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (whether outside counsel or the allocated costs of their internal legal department), in connection with each Loan provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (whether outside counsel or the allocated costs of their internal legal department) or any financial advisor in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with any Loan made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any such Loan, or in connection with any bankruptcy, restructuring, or insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party (collectively, “Reimbursable Expenses”). Expenses being reimbursed by the Loan Parties under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) Appraisals and insurance reviews;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Lender or Collateral Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Lender or Collateral Agent with respect to each field examination;

(f) Assignment; Servicer.

(i) Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Master Agreement or any Loan Schedule, no Loan Party may sell, transfer, assign, lease, rent or otherwise transfer possession of or encumber any Equipment or other Collateral or their respective rights or obligations under this Master Agreement or any Loan Document without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may withheld in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Each Loan Schedule and any or all of the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder and thereunder shall be assignable and transferable by the Lender, absolutely or as security, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion without notice to or consent of any other Loan Party. Upon notice by the Lender of any such assignment or transfer, each of the Loan Parties shall promptly acknowledge in writing to the Lender and such assignees, its obligations under such Loan Schedules and such other matters as the Lender may reasonably request. Any such assignment shall not relieve the Lender of its obligations hereunder unless specifically assumed by the assignee. EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT THEY SHALL PAY ANY ASSIGNEE ALL PAYMENTS AND OTHER SUMS WITHOUT ANY DEFENSE, RIGHTS OF SETOFF OR COUNTERCLAIMS (WHICH SHALL NOT BE ASSERTED AGAINST AN ASSIGNEE) AND SHALL NOT HOLD OR ATTEMPT TO HOLD SUCH ASSIGNEE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE LENDER’S OBLIGATIONS.

(ii) Servicing Rights. In the event that the Lender assigns all or any portion of any Loan (hereinafter, a “Lender Assignment”), such Lender Assignment shall not amend, supplement or otherwise modify or affect: (A) Servicer’s obligations to manage, service, administer and collect the Payments and perform the other duties and obligations of Servicer set forth in a servicing agreement applicable to the Loan(s); or (B) Loan Party’s’ obligations in favor of NYDIG or a NYDIG Affiliate, if any, set forth in this Master Agreement or any NYDIG Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided therein. In the event that NYDIG is no longer the Lender with respect to any Loan Schedule, the obligations of Servicer shall be set forth in an agreement between the then existing Lender and Servicer (such agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) the then existing Lender and Servicer may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Servicing Agreement as they deem necessary or appropriate without the consent of any Loan Party, and (B) the duties and obligations of Servicer thereunder and hereunder shall not be deemed to diminish or otherwise affect the rights of the then existing Lender or any Loan Party. In the absence of any Servicing Agreement to the contrary, or any express revocation or modification of the servicing obligations of NYDIG in its capacity as Servicer, after the occurrence of a Lender Assignment the then existing Lender hereby appoints NYDIG as Servicer and as its agent and attorney-in-fact for purposes of exercising any and all of its rights as the Lender under this Master Agreement, the applicable Loan Schedule(s) and the other Loan Documents, and agrees that until such appointment is revoked by the Lender in a written notice to Servicer and the Borrower Representative, Servicer shall have the exclusive right to exercise such rights of the Lender. In the event of a Lender Assignment, any Loan Party shall make any Payments thereafter to Servicer unless and until the Loan Parties receive a written instruction to the contrary from the then existing Lender or Servicer.

(iii) Access to Digital Asset Accounts. Each Loan Party shall, at all times when Section 3(l) applies pursuant to any Loan Schedule, provide the Lender and Servicer with application programming interface (API) and/or ‘read’ access rights to any (A) mining pool accounts, dashboards or similar information interfaces that shows the operational status and hashrate of the Equipment, and any other equipment of the Borrowers that produces Mined Cryptocurrency, and (B) Digital Asset wallets in respect of all Mined Cryptocurrency or other Digital Assets otherwise included in the Collateral on a real-time or daily basis. Without limiting any of the Lender’s other rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law, upon the Lender’s request following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall (and the Parent shall procure on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, that the Borrowers shall) remit all Mined Cryptocurrency and other Digital Assets included in the Collateral to Digital Asset accounts or wallets held by or on behalf of the Lender, and the Lender may monetize any such Mined Cryptocurrency or Digital Assets included in the Collateral and apply it to the Obligations in accordance with this Master Agreement. The Lender shall not be responsible for any actual losses of any Digital Assets from Digital Asset accounts or wallets held by or on behalf of the Lender except to the extent such losses result from the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(iv) Register. The Servicer, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Master Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Master Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Unconditional Non-Cancellable Agreement. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES’ OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE PAYMENTS, TO PAY OTHER SUMS WHEN DUE AND TO OTHERWISE PERFORM AS REQUIRED UNDER EACH LOAN SCHEDULE IS ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, REDUCTION, SETOFF, DEFENSE, OR COUNTERCLAIM FOR ANY REASON WHICH ANY LOAN PARTY MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY PERSON (INCLUDING ANY LENDER UNDER A SEPARATE LOAN SCHEDULE) FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER OR ANY MALFUNCTION, DEFECT OR INABILITY TO USE ANY ITEM OF EQUIPMENT OR OTHERWISE.

(h) Waivers; Amendments; Consent Rights.

(i) Waivers. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (ii) of this Section 10(g), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

(ii) Amendments. Neither this Master Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (A) in the case of this Master Agreement or any Loan Schedule, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by any Loan Party and (x) in the case of this Master Agreement as it applies to all Loan Schedules, NYDIG (in its capacity as Servicer), or (y) in the case of a particular Loan Schedule, the Lender under such Loan Schedule, or (B) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lender (or, in the case of Loan Documents solely with respect to a particular Loan Schedule, the Lender under such Loan Schedule) and each Loan Party that are parties thereto, as applicable. No agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent .

(iii) In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the exercise of any specific right of the Lender to consent to or approve any action under this Master Agreement shall be exercised by Servicer, on behalf of such Lender, on the terms and subject to the requirements of any separate agreement entered into between Servicer and the Lender in connection with any applicable Loan Schedule or, if no such separate agreement exists, on the terms of Section 10(e)(ii).

(i) Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(j) Counterparts; Electronic Signatures; Chattel Paper.

(i) This Master Agreement, each Loan Schedule and all other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith may be executed and delivered in counterparts all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The Loan Schedule to which this Master Agreement related, this Master Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and, except as expressly set forth in any Loan Schedule, supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(ii) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (A) this Master Agreement, (B) any other Loan Document and/or (C) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Master Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by facsimile, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Master Agreement, such other Loan Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Master Agreement, any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by facsimile, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Lender to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (1) to the extent the Lender has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Lender shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (2) upon the request of the Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby (I) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Lender, Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (II) the Lender may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper

document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (III) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Master Agreement or any such other Loan Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (IV) waives any claim against the Lender (and any Collateral Agent or any Affiliate of the Lender or Collateral Agent) for any liabilities arising solely from the Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of any Borrower and/or any other Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

(iii) For purposes of perfection of a security interest in chattel paper under the UCC, only the counterpart of each Loan Schedule that bears the Lender’s manually applied signature and is marked “Sole Original” by the Lender shall constitute the sole original counterpart of the original chattel paper for purposes of possession. No security interest in a Loan Schedule can be perfected by possession of any other counterpart, each of which shall be deemed a duplicate original or copy for such purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any Loan Schedule constituting electronic chattel paper, the authoritative copy, if any, of such Agreement will be the electronic copy in the Lender’s or its assignee’s electronic vault identified by the parties as the sole authoritative copy.

(k) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(i) This Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Master Agreement, the Loan Schedules, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (including Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law but otherwise without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof ) of the State of New York. Each of the Loan Parties and the Lender expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL COURTS AND NEW YORK STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MASTER AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN SCHEDULES, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH APPELLATE COURT. EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IT MAY

BRING AGAINST THE LENDER, SHALL ONLY BE BROUGHT IN SAID FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY AND THE LENDER EACH AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS MASTER AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(iii) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described herein and brought in any court referred above. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(iv) Each Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10(a) herein. Nothing in this Master Agreement will affect the right of the Loan Party or the Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(v) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MASTER AGREEMENT, THE LOAN SCHEDULES, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY) OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS MASTER AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(l) Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers; Guaranty.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower, jointly and severally, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender under this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without the preferences or distinction among

them. The Borrowers shall be liable for all Obligations amounts due to the Lender (or any Collateral Agent) under this Master Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans, the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Loans made to one of them, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of one of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans made to the other of the Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such other Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers.

(ii) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(iii) The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 10(k) shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower.

(iv) The provisions of this Section 10(k) shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in immediately available funds and all Commitments to make Loans hereunder and under any other Loan Documents have been terminated (the “Termination Date”). If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 10(i) hereof will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(v) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under any applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States).

(vi) With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives, until the Termination Date, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Lender hereafter has against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lender. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any

increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, until such time as this Master Agreement terminates. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Lender may proceed directly and at once, without notice (to the extent notice is waivable under applicable law), against (A) with respect to Obligations of the Borrowers, either or all of them or (B) with respect to Obligations of any Borrower, to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the applicable Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that a Loan advance or other extensions of credit is made to, or with respect to the business of, one Borrower and any other Borrower makes any payments with respect to such Advance or extensions of credit, the first Borrower shall promptly reimburse such other Borrower for all payments so made by such other Borrower.

(m) Guarantee.

(i) The Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the Lender the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) as and when such Guaranteed Obligations are due and payable after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, whether by the terms of this Master Agreement, lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. “Guaranteed Obligations” means, without duplication, (A) the full amount of the Obligations then due and payable and whether for principal, interest, reimbursement, obligations, fees, expenses or otherwise, interest accruing thereon following the commencement of any Bankruptcy Event by or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor at the highest applicable rate specified for the Loans hereunder, whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim in such Bankruptcy Event and (B) all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including all court costs and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) paid or incurred by the Lender in (1) endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Loan Party, (2) taking any action with respect to any Collateral or (3) preserving, protecting or defending the enforceability of, or enforcing, this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document or rights or remedies under this Master Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law, together with interest on such losses, fees, costs and expenses from the date of demand under Section 10(k) or Section 10(l) if not paid in full at the time due until paid in full at the highest applicable rate specified for Loans hereunder.

(ii) The guarantee hereunder is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantors expressly waive any requirement that the Lender exhaust any right, remedy or power or proceed against any Borrower or the Guarantors under the Loan Documents or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The guarantee hereunder is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness or enforceability of the Obligations, the Guaranteed Obligations or this Master Agreement or of any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection therewith, any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other circumstance (other than payment in full) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

(iii) No Guarantor may revoke this Section 10(l), and this Section 10(l) continues to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by the Guarantors.

(iv) In any Bankruptcy Event or any action or proceeding involving any state law, if any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder would otherwise, taking into account any of such Guarantor’s rights to contribution, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability hereunder, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability is automatically limited and reduced, without any further action by such Guarantor, the Lender or any other Person to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(v) If at any time payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any oblige of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made, then this Section 10(l) is reinstated, and the Guaranteed Obligations are deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, restored or returned.

(vi) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder are not released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following:

(1) the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations for any reason whatsoever;

(2) any performance or nonperformance of any of the agreements or covenants of this Master Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any extension of the time for performance of, or the waiver of compliance with, any of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time;

(3) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(4) any renewal, extension, increase, amendment or other modification of any of the Guaranteed Obligations in any respect, any waiver, forbearance, indulgence or compromise of any right under this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document or any assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or part of the Lender’s interest under the Loan Documents;

(5) the taking or acceptance of any other security, collateral or guarantee, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(7) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations being unperfected;

(8) any failure or delay of the Lender to exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law or with respect to any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(9) any Bankruptcy Event of any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(10) any dissolution of any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of such Person’s assets or any reorganization, merger or consolidation of any such Person;

(11) any failure of Collateral Agent , any Lender to notify the Guarantors of any of the foregoing; or

(12) any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations or the security and collateral therefor, whether such action or omission prejudices the Guarantor or increases the likelihood that the Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof (other than a payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(vii) The Guarantors waive (A) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor and protest, (B) any rights or defenses (other than payment in full) the Guarantors or other surety may have in respect of their respective obligations as a guarantor or other surety by reason of any election of remedies by the Lender and (C) any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including rights to notice) or defenses that the Guarantors might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the circumstances described in this Section or Section 10(l)(vi) (other than those subject to Section 10(l)(viii)).

(viii) Prior to the Termination Date, the Guarantors shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of its performance of its guarantee, whether by subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or otherwise, against any other Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a) The parties hereto agree that each will treat confidentially the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all confidential information provided by each party to the other regarding its business and operations. Confidential information includes, without limitation, current and potential business strategies, performance data, reports, marketing materials, computer software, data files, file layouts, databases, analyses, technical know-how, trade secrets, portfolio positions, valuations, investment or trading strategies, commitments and arrangements with service providers and other third parties, as well as any affiliate, director, officer, manager, shareholder, member, advisor, agent, employee, consultant, attorney, accountant, financing source, or other representative of each party, and which information is clearly identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or would be assumed by a reasonable person to be confidential under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. All confidential information provided by a party hereto may be used by any other party hereto solely for the purpose of providing or receiving financing under this Master Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out this Master Agreement (including, without limitation, disclosure to assignees of the Lender, affiliates of the Lender or agents appointed by the Lender), may not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of the party that provided the information, unless required by law or court order, except that the Lender may disclose such information:

(i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, advisors, representatives, accountants, legal counsel and agents;

(ii) to any lender or financing source, hedge counterparty or other similar party in connection with any potential or actual financing or risk management activities related to this Master Agreement, any Loan or Loan Schedule;

(iii) in connection with any potential or actual securitization transaction (including, without limitation, in any related prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum relating to such securitization transaction);

(iv) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating any securitization or other financing transaction;

(v) to any transferee or potential transferee or participant of or with the Lender so long as the information disclosed is reasonably related to such Person’s evaluation of the assignment or participation and such Person agrees in writing for the benefit of Loan Parties and Servicer to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms similar in all material respects to this Section 11;

(vi) in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Master Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents; or

(vii) to its and its Affiliates’ regulators.

(b) Section 11(a) is not applicable to any information that (i) was in the public domain when disclosed, (ii) was lawfully in a party’s possession before the other party provided it pursuant to this Master Agreement, (iii) becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise through no unauthorized act or omission on the part of a party, or (iv) is independently developed by an employee(s) or other agent(s) of a party with no access to information that is confidential under Section 11(a).

(c) The obligations of confidentiality and nonuse related to the confidential information received under this Master Agreement will be binding and, in the event that this Master Agreement is terminated, continue in force.

12. COLLATERAL AGENT.

(a) Appointment. The Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Collateral Agent in the preamble of this Master Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents (and to act in such capacity and hold, or exercise rights with respect to, any Lien in the Collateral and Specified Collateral pursuant to the relative priorities as otherwise set forth in this Master Agreement and each Loan Schedule), and the Lender authorizes Collateral Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Collateral Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lender and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that Collateral Agent has been appointed collectively by all of the Lenders under each Loan Schedule (as opposed to separate individual appointments), and Collateral Agent shall take direction from the Lenders (or any individual Lender or groups of Lenders), and exercise remedies with respect to Collateral and Specified Collateral, solely as provided in this Master Agreement. As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (as defined below); provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) Collateral Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless Collateral Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lender with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Collateral Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders under each Loan Schedule, and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party under or in connection with this Master Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Lender or (y) in the absence of its own bad faith or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment).

(b) Direction; Ratable Sharing. Wherever the Lender is granted the right hereunder or the other Loan Documents to direct, authorize, consent or otherwise instruct Collateral Agent to exercise any discretion, take any action or refrain from taking any action, except as expressly set forth with respect to an individual Lender under Section 9(b), such right shall only be exercised upon the written instructions of the Lenders holding, at the time of any such direction, greater than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans under all Loan Schedules outstanding at such time (the “Required Lenders”). Each Lender further agrees that notwithstanding any other provisions of the Loan Documents including Section 9(b) hereof, rights and remedies with respect

to the Collateral and Specified Collateral, whether granted under this Master Agreement, a Loan Schedule or any other Loan Document or arising under law or equity, may be exercised and enforced solely through Collateral Agent unless otherwise consented to by each Lender. In connection with any application of Net Proceeds or other Payments indicated to be for the account of all Lenders ratably based on the amount of any Obligations currently outstanding, such determination shall be based on the proportion of the applicable Obligations outstanding and owed to such Lender as compared to all such applicable Obligations under this Master Agreement and any other Loan Document at the time of application of any such amount.

(c) Collateral Agent Qualification. Collateral Agent(including any successor Collateral Agent) shall at all times either (i) be NYDIG or an Affiliate thereof or (ii) have, or have a parent that has, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If Collateral Agent ceases to meet the foregoing qualifications, then the Required Lenders may appoint a successor Collateral Agent that meets such qualifications.

(d) Successors and Assigns; Removal. Upon notice to the other parties hereto, Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon such notice and the successor’s acceptance of such appointment, the outgoing Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all duties hereunder and the successor Collateral Agent shall assume all the rights and obligations of Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that such successor Collateral Agent shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 12(c). The Required Lenders, with prior written notice to the other parties hereto, may remove Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided that such successor Collateral Agent shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 12(c). The provisions of Sections 10(c) and 10(d) shall survive any removal of Collateral Agent and any appointment of a new Collateral Agent.

13. THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE.

(a) Appointment of the Borrower Representative. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent (the “Borrower Representative”) as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, deliver Loan Schedules and request advances under the Loan Documents, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lender may disburse the Loans to such bank account of a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as the Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Lender may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

Exhibit 99.1

Greenidge Generation Closes Over $100 Million in New Financings to Fund Expansion Outside of New York

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – March 24, 2022 – Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GREE) (“Greenidge”) today announced it has closed two financings for approximately $108 million in gross proceeds in order to provide the company with additional liquidity to fund its 2022 growth.

The financings are comprised of an approximately $81.4 million facility with an affiliate of NYDIG, secured by certain Bitmain ANTMINER S19 J Pro equipment delivering in 2022, and a $26.5 million secured note with an affiliate of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley”), secured by the real estate at Greenidge’s facility in Spartanburg, SC.

“These financings are consistent with Greenidge’s established strategy of using non-dilutive capital to fund our expansion,” said Greenidge’s CEO Jeff Kirt. “This is a transformative year for Greenidge as we expect to more than triple our datacenter capacity to 4.7 EH/s, with the vast majority of the capacity expansion focused outside of the company’s original site in New York. Three months after commencing operations at our Spartanburg location, the facility represents more than 15% of the Greenidge’s aggregate hash rate.”

“We are pleased that both financings represent continued institutional relationship development with our existing lenders,” said Mr. Kirt. The $81.4 million facility builds on our prior partnership with NYDIG and the $26.5 million secured note is the third debt financing arranged by affiliates of B. Riley for Greenidge.

Further details regarding the financings announced today will be found in the company’s Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
