a) Title. The Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “8.50% Senior Notes due 2026”.

Indenture). The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (in any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (except the
price to public, the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date) that may constitute a single fungible series with the Initial Notes; provided that if any such Additional Notes are not
fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes shall constitute a single series under the Indenture and all
references to the Notes shall include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires. 
 c) Maturity Date. The
entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be payable on October 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).

of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. For so long as the Notes are represented in global form by one or more Global Securities, all payments of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security representing such Notes. In the event that
definitive Notes shall have been issued, all payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts of the registered Holders thereof; provided, that the Company may
elect to make such payments at the office of the Paying Agent in the City of Wilmington, Delaware; and provided further, that the Company may at its option pay interest by check to the registered address of each Holder of a definitive Note.

annual rate equal to (1) 0.25% for the first 90 calendar days after such default and (2) 0.50% for calendar days 91 through 180 after such default. On the 181st day after such Event of Default, if such violation is not cured or waived, the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare the principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If the Company chooses to pay such
additional interest, the Company must notify the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes by certificate of the Company’s election at any time on or before the close of business on the first business day following the Event of Default and the
Company shall deliver to the trustee an Officer’s Certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely conclusively) to that effect stating (i) the amount of such additional interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such additional
interest is payable. Unless and until the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such additional interest is payable and the Trustee shall not have any duty to verify the Company’s calculations of
additional interest. 
 Section 3.03. Optional Redemption. 

a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes. 

b) Except as provided in Section 3.04 below, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company at its option prior to
October 31, 2023 (the “Notes Par Call Date”). 
 c) The Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part at any time at the
Company’s option (i) on or after October 31, 2023 and prior to October 31, 2024, at a price equal to 102% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, (ii) on or
after October 31, 2024 and prior to October 31, 2025, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and (iii) on or after October 31, 2025 and
prior to the Maturity Date, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

d) In each case, redemption shall be upon notice not fewer than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes
are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, by lot, or in the Trustee’s discretion,
on a pro-rata basis, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Notes will be in an authorized denomination (which will not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such
Notes. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee shall have no obligation to
calculate any redemption price or any component thereof, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company that specifies any redemption price. 

  
 4 












 e) Unless the Company defaults on the payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.04. Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control. 

a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes. 

b) Prior to the Notes Par Call Date, the Notes shall be redeemable in whole but not in part at the Company’s option at any time within 90 days of the
occurrence of a Change of Control, at a price equal to 100.5% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

c) Redemption shall be upon notice not fewer than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to
calculate any redemption price or any component thereof, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company that specifies any redemption price. 

d) Unless the Company defaults on the payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for
redemption. 
 e) A “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred at the time after the Notes are originally issued if: 

 

	 	1)	 any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the
“Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that for purposes of this clause (1) such Person shall be deemed to
have “Beneficial Ownership” of all shares that any such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 50.0% of the total voting power
of the Voting Stock of the Company; 


  

	 	2)	 the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or
into the Company, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis) to another Person other than a transaction following which, in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of
securities that represented 100.0% of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own directly or indirectly
at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction;



  

	 	3)	 “Continuing Directors” cease to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s board of
directors; or 


  

	 	4)	 if after the Notes are initially listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national securities
exchange, the Notes fail, or at any point cease, to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or such other national securities exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a Change of Control if after the Notes are initially listed on
the Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national securities exchange, such Notes are subsequently listed on a different national securities exchange and the prior listing is terminated. 



Section 3.05. Open Market Repurchases. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Base Indenture to the contrary, the Company may purchase
Notes from investors who are willing to sell from time to time, either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Notes that the Company purchases may, at the Company’s discretion, be held, resold
or canceled. 

  
 5 












 ARTICLE 4 

CERTAIN COVENANTS 
 The following covenants
shall be applicable to the Company for so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding. Nothing in this Article will, however, affect the Company’s rights or obligations under any other provision of the Base Indenture or this First Supplemental
Indenture. 
 Section 4.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. 

The Company shall not merge or consolidate with or into any other Person (other than a merger of a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company into the Company) or
sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a pledge of assets pursuant to any secured debt instrument of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall not be
deemed to be any such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition) in one transaction or series of related transactions unless: 
 a) the Company shall
be the surviving Person (the “Surviving Person”) or the Surviving Person (if other than the Company) formed by such merger or consolidation or to which such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition is made shall be a
corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; 

b) the Surviving Person (if other than the Company) expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and
delivered to the Trustee by such Surviving Person, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all the Notes Outstanding, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company; 
 c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transactions, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 d) in the case of a merger where the Surviving Person is other than the Company,
the Company or such Surviving Person shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto
comply with this Section 4.01 and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 The
Surviving Person (if other than the Company) will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Notes and the Indenture, and the Company will be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged from its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture. 
 Section 4.02. Reporting. 

If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act to file any periodic reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company agrees to furnish to Holders and the Trustee, for the period of time during which the Notes are outstanding, its audited annual consolidated financial statements, within 90 days of its fiscal year end,
and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, within 45 days of its fiscal quarter end (other than the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter). All such financial statements will be prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as applicable. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 

  
 6 












 Section 4.03. Payment of Taxes. 

The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges
levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits or property of the Company, except where the failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results
of operations of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or charge whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings. 
 ARTICLE 5 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 Section 5.01.
Events of Default. 
 Solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and

(except for those described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, including with respect to any premium, if the Trustee is then the Paying Agent) unless written notice of such default or Event of Default from the Company or any Holder is received by
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The Trustee
may withhold notice to the Holders of any Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default listed in (1) and (2) above, if the Trustee in good faith determines the withholding of notice to be in the interest of the Holders.

 Section 6.04. Severability. If any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes
shall be held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, then the remaining provisions hereof shall be construed as though such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision were not contained therein. 

Section 6.05. Ratification. 
 The Base Indenture, as
supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed. All provisions included in this First Supplemental Indenture supersede any conflicting provisions included in the Base Indenture, unless not permitted by
law. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions of the Indenture. 

Section 6.06. Effectiveness. 
 The provisions of this
First Supplemental Indenture shall become effective as of the date hereof. 
 Section 6.07. Trustee Makes No Representation. 

The recitals and statements contained herein and in the Notes are made solely by the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity, adequacy or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes
or the proceeds thereof. All rights, protections, privileges, indemnities, immunities and benefits granted or afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture shall be deemed incorporated herein by this reference and shall be deemed applicable to
all actions taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act under this First Supplemental Indenture. 

Section 6.08. Electronic Means. 
 The Trustee shall
have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture and delivered using
Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen
signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the
Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender
of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The
Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and
authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including
without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting
Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of
Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security
procedures.

sanctions authority (collectively “Sanctions”). 
 b) The Company covenants and represents that neither they nor any of their
affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers will use any payments made pursuant to the Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person who, at the time

	CUSIP No. 39531G 209	  	$55,200,000
	ISIN No. US39531G2093	  	

 Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”, which
term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of fifty five million two hundred thousand United States Dollars
(U.S. $55,200,000) on October 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from October 13, 2021 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 in each year and on the Maturity Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning January 31, 2022 at the rate of 8.50% per annum, until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be,
preceding such Interest Payment Date, and the October 15 immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Any such interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

The amount of interest payable for any interest period, including interest payable for any partial interest period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If an interest payment date falls on a non-Business Day, the applicable interest
payment will be made on the next Business Day and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.

time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, for so long as the Notes are represented in global form by one or more Global Securities, all payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest shall
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security representing such Notes. In the event that definitive Notes shall have been issued, all

registered address of each Holder of a definitive Note.

modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on this Note at the times herein and in the Indenture prescribed and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment unless the Holder of this Note shall
have consented to the impairment of such right. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this
Note may be registered in the Security register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of
this series and of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof. Subject
to certain limitations therein set forth in the Indenture and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the
same. 

  
 A-2 












 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or for exchange of this Note, but the
Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of a Note, other than in certain cases provided in the
Indenture. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Company may be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain
exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligations under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes of this series, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

scanned, photocopied or faxed or otherwise signed electronically (including by DocuSign or Adobe Sign)) of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.
