  2.           GENERAL TERMS. THIS MASTER AGREEMENT
    CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH LENDER WILL PROVIDE LOANS TO BORROWER TO ENABLE BORROWER TO PURCHASE, FINANCE OR REFINANCE ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT AND OTHER GOODS, PERSONAL PROPERTY, SERVICES AND FOR SUCH OTHER USES AS ARE EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED
    IN EACH LOAN SCHEDULE THAT MAY BE ENTERED INTO BY LENDER AND BORROWER FROM TIME TO TIME. EACH LOAN SCHEDULE SHALL INCORPORATE THE PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT BY REFERENCE AND EACH LOAN SCHEDULE SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS
    EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 3(a) HEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE INITIAL COMMITTED AMOUNT, THIS MASTER AGREEMENT IS NOT A COMMITMENT TO ADVANCE ANY LOAN. LENDER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO ENTER INTO ANY PARTICULAR
    LOAN SCHEDULE, FINANCE ANY EQUIPMENT, ADVANCE ANY LOAN, OR OTHERWISE ENTER INTO ANY TRANSACTION WITH BORROWER UNLESS THE TERMS OF SUCH LOAN AND/OR TRANSACTION ARE EXPRESSLY AGREED THROUGH THE MUTUAL EXECUTION OF SUCH LOAN SCHEDULE. AS TO EACH LOAN
    SCHEDULE WITH RESPECT TO THE INITIAL COMMITTED AMOUNT, LENDER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO FINANCE ANY EQUIPMENT UNTIL ALL CONDITIONS TO FUNDING ARE COMPLETED TO THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF LENDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 4(A).

   

  3.            LOANS AND COMMITMENTS; DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF EQUIPMENT;
        TERM AND PAYMENTS; ETC.

   

  (a)           Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set
    forth herein, Lender shall make Loans to Borrower from time to time in accordance with each Loan Schedule; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans extended under this Master Agreement shall not exceed the sum of the Initial
    Committed Amount plus the amount of any additional Loans that Lender may agree to fund in its sole discretion pursuant to Section 3(m). Each Loan shall be evidenced by a separate Loan Schedule, which Loan Schedule shall only be valid
    upon execution by Lender and countersignature by Borrower on the Commencement Date. The Loan Commitment of Lender to make Loans will decrease concurrently with the making of each Loan (or agreement to make each Loan) on the applicable Commencement
    Date, by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Loans made (or agreed to be made) on such date. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of any Loan may not be reborrowed, except as otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing.

  
    -13-

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)           Delivery. Borrower will cause the Equipment
    purchased, financed or refinanced with the proceeds of each Loan to be delivered and installed at the location specified in the applicable Loan Schedule or such other location consented to in writing by Collateral Agent (such consent not to be
    unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that certain Borrower obligations hereunder, including but not limited to, providing insurance under Section 7(e), may commence and may be binding on Borrower
    whether or not the Equipment is accepted, delivered or installed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees that, upon executing a Loan Schedule and effectiveness of this Master Agreement, Borrower’s Obligations under such Loan Schedule are
    absolute and unconditional and in the nature of a promissory note. Borrower is responsible for all shipping, installation, site preparation, testing and other expenses incident to delivery of the Equipment, and Lender will not finance such costs unless
    such costs are paid with the proceeds of the Loan advanced in connection with such Loan Schedule. Each Loan Schedule shall only be valid when mutually executed by Lender, Collateral Agent and Borrower. Borrower
    hereby authorizes Lender to amend and modify the “Description of Equipment” set forth on Exhibit A to each Loan Schedule to accurately identify the Equipment actually delivered in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Certificate.

   

  (c)           Interest; Payment. Interest






    shall accrue on any outstanding principal balance of each Loan at the Applicable Rate for such Loan and shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 calendar days, and shall be payable for the number of calendar days elapsed. Commencing on the first
    (1st) Payment Date identified as an “Interest-Only Payment Date” on the applicable Loan Schedule and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date set forth in the applicable Loan Schedule until the end of the Interest-Only Period, Borrower shall pay to
    Lender the accrued interest in arrears at the Applicable Rate. Commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date set forth in the applicable Loan Schedule, Borrower shall pay to Lender the outstanding principal
    amount of each Loan, together with accrued interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, in equal monthly installments each in an amount which will fully amortize such principal of each Loan together with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate over the
    period from the date Lender advances such Loan to the applicable Maturity Date (any such payments, together with any other payments so designated herein or elsewhere in the applicable Loan Schedule, the “Payments”). 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 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). Payments by Borrower to Lender under
    each Loan Schedule shall be in legal U.S. tender in immediately available funds. Borrower’s obligation 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 Borrower 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 Borrower may have against Lender, any Supplier or any other Person whatsoever. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, to the fullest extent permissible under any Requirements of Law, Borrower
    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 Borrower receives an invoice.

  (d)          Late Fee. If any Payment
      or other amount due under an Agreement is not received when due, Borrower, upon demand from Lender, shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) per annum of the overdue amount prior to an Event of Default, provided that no late
      charge shall exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

   

  (e)          Prepayments.

   

  (i)           Voluntary Prepayments. No Loan Schedule may be canceled or
    terminated by Borrower for any reason whatsoever except to the extent expressly permitted under this Master Agreement. Borrower may prepay its Obligations under any Loan Schedule in whole, but not in part, at any time after the passage of not less than
    six (6) months after the Acceptance Date therefor, by paying to Lender the Payoff Amount, so long as Borrower gives Lender not more than one hundred eighty (180) days nor less than thirty (30) days written notice. As used herein, “Payoff Amount” means
    an amount, calculated by Lender as of the date of payment of the Payoff Amount (and to be paid on such date), equal to the sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid Payments (including the Payment, if any due, on such date) or other amounts due under or with
    respect to the Agreement; plus (ii) all Payments due and payable after such date, discounted to present value using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to the applicable Loan Schedule, plus (iii) the Prepayment Fee. Partial
    prepayments of a Loan Schedule are not permitted and any overpayment shall not reduce the principal amount owed by Borrower or be applied to reduce any Payment owed hereunder; provided that Lender will refund any overpayment, or at Borrower’s
    discretion, allow the Collateral Agent to retain it as a security deposit which shall not be segregated or earn interest and shall be applied at Borrower’s discretion to any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, including any Payment or other amounts to
    become due.

   

   (ii)          Mandatory Prepayments; Proceeds on Specified Collateral.

   

  (1)           In the event and on each
      occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of any Casualty Event, Borrower shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by Borrower, prepay any outstanding Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to
      the lower of (1) one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds and (2) the aggregate amount of any outstanding Obligations; provided that, if Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that Borrower
      intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within ninety (90) calendar days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) the
      applicable Item of Equipment subject to such Casualty Event (any Equipment so acquired, replaced or rebuilt, “Replacement Equipment”), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds
      specified in such certificate, provided that to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such ninety (90) calendar day period, a prepayment shall be required at such time in
      an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment pursuant to Section 3(e)(ii) will not incur a Prepayment Fee.

  
    -15-

    
      
 

  

   

  (2)           Each payment received as a
      mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 3(e)(ii), and any other Net Proceeds received in respect of Specified Collateral under Section 9(b) or otherwise, shall in each case be applied as follows, solely with respect to the Loans made under the
      Loan Schedule pursuant to which such Specified Collateral subject to a Casualty Event was financed: (i) first to any fees, expenses and indemnified amounts then owed to the Collateral Agent, (ii) second, to any fees then owed to the
      applicable Lender pursuant to the applicable Loan Schedule, (iii) third, to accrued and outstanding interest with respect to the principal balance of the applicable Loan, (iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the
      applicable Loan, applied to remaining obligations on 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. Any excess proceeds of a mandatory prepayment or other proceeds applied under this Section 3(e)(ii), after application pursuant to the immediately preceding
      sentence, shall be returned to the Borrower 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 pursuant to
      3(f) being hereinafter referred to as a “Specified Collateral Sharing Event”).

   

  (f)            Application of Payments. Except as otherwise
    provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, payments by Borrower in respect of the Obligations hereunder shall be applied (i) first, to any fees and expenses or
      indemnified amounts then owed to the 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 (including any applicable Prepayment Fee)
      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 in respect of the then outstanding Loans), (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 in respect of the then outstanding Loans), (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, 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 in respect of the then outstanding Loans). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time NYDIG, in accordance with the terms of this Master Agreement, 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 Borrower, NYDIG and such Person(s) may, among themselves, agree to the specific
    allocation of Payments made by Borrower; provided that in the absence of any such agreement, any payments made by Borrower in respect of fees, expenses, principal and accrued interest shall be apportioned ratably as set forth in this Section
    3(f).

   (g)          [Reserved].

   

  (h)          Interest Rate Limitation. Borrower and Lender 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, Borrower is required to pay,
    or has paid, interest at a rate in excess of the highest rate of interest which may be charged by Lender or which Borrower may legally contract to pay under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), then the interest rate 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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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)), 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 Borrower. The Borrower shall timely
    pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

   

  (iii)          Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment
    of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(i), Borrower shall deliver to 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 Lender.

   

  (iv)          Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) calendar days after demand
    therefor, 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 Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to 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 Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

    the applicable Loan Schedule, of the Loan Amount set forth in such Loan Schedule or (y) such other specified amount as may be agreed on such Loan Schedule. Borrower may satisfy the requirements of this Section 3(k) by providing Lender with evidence
    satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, proving that such payment has been sent for the account of Lender; provided, that if the Closing Fee is not actually received by Lender within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Commencement
    Date (or other agreed due date therefor) an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder.

   

  (l)           Mined Cryptocurrency.
      Solely to the extent of any rights of Borrower in or to any Mined Cryptocurrency or any other Digital Asset:

   

  (i)            Borrower shall (both before and after an Event of Default, subject
    only to Collateral Agent’s ability to designate an alternative account or wallet for Digital Assets) immediately deposit or cause to be deposited all Mined Cryptocurrency and any other Digital Asset owned by the Borrower into the ACA Wallet (and in
    connection with establishing the ACA Wallet and entering into the ACA Wallet Agreement in accordance with Section 7(b), the Borrower shall establish a custodial account with NYDIG Trust Company LLC or a different NYDIG Affiliate as NYDIG may select,
    and establish an execution account with NYDIG Execution LLC).

   

  (ii)           Unless an Event of Default is existing and continuing, and subject
    to Section 8(d), Borrower may sell, trade and otherwise dispose of any Mined Cryptocurrency from the Equipment in the ordinary course.

   

  (iii)          If an Event of Default is existing and continuing, all rights of
    Borrower pursuant to Subsection 3(l)(ii) will immediately cease, without any requirement for any notice from Lender or Collateral Agent, and Borrower may not Dispose of any Mined Cryptocurrency (or any other Digital Asset owned by the Borrower) without
    Collateral Agent’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Collateral Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.

   

  (iv)          If, following the Collateral Agent’s delivery of a Hashpower
    Agreement Termination Notice in accordance with Section 9(c)(vii), any Mined Cryptocurrency from the Equipment or other Digital Asset is not deposited into the ACA Wallet for any reason, Borrower shall segregate and hold in trust on behalf of
    Collateral Agent, such Mined Cryptocurrency or other Digital Asset and shall deliver it to Collateral Agent as soon as possible.

   

  (v)           Following the Collateral Agent’s delivery of a Hashpower Agreement
    Termination Notice in accordance with Section 9(c)(vii), all Digital Assets and Mined Cryptocurrency shall at all times be kept stored in the ACA Wallet, or in such other accounts or wallets as Collateral Agent may consent to from time to time,

    be agreed by Lender in its sole discretion as set forth in the applicable Loan Schedule.

  (a)           As security for the due payment and performance of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders under each Loan Schedule, a first priority
      security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned by or owing to, or hereafter acquired by or arising in favor of Borrower and wherever located (collectively, the “Borrower Collateral”):






      (i) all Accounts; (ii) all Chattel Paper; (iii) all Documents; (iv), all equipment (as such term is defined in the UCC), including, without limitation, the Equipment and any Replacement Equipment; (v) all Fixtures; (vi) all General Intangibles,
      including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property; (vii) all Goods; (viii) all Instruments; (ix) all Inventory; (x) all Investment Property; (xi) all cash or cash equivalents; (xii) all letters of credit, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Supporting
      Obligations; (xiii) all Deposit Accounts with any bank or other financial institution including, without limitation, each ACA Account; (xiv) all Commercial Tort Claims; (xv) all Digital Assets and all Digital Asset wallets or wallet accounts and

      Collateral Agent or Lender; (xvii) all Money; (xviii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing subclauses (i) through (xvii), all agreements, contracts, warranties, invoices, purchase orders and other agreements, 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 (xix) all accessions to, substitutions for and
      replacements, proceeds, insurance proceeds, products, rents, offspring, or profits of any and all of the foregoing, together with all books and records, customer lists, credit files, computer files, programs, printouts and other computer materials
      and records related to any of the foregoing and any General Intangibles at any time evidencing or relating to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the application of proceeds of
      any Collateral constituting Specified Collateral in which a security interest is granted under any Loan Schedule, the Borrower, 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 Borrower Collateral shall at all times be either in Borrower’s name, subject to the security interest of Collateral Agent, or in the name of the Collateral Agent and any certificate of title for the
      applicable Borrower Collateral (to the extent applicable) shall designate Borrower as owner and Collateral Agent, as lien holder.

   

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


   

  (i)             Authorization to File UCC Financing Statements. Borrower
    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 Borrower Collateral. Any financing statement filed by Collateral Agent may be filed in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction and may (A)

    any other description which reasonably approximates the description contained in this Master Agreement, 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

    Borrower Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Borrower Collateral relates. Borrower also agrees to furnish any such information described in the foregoing sentence to
    Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Borrower 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.

  
    -22-

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)            Perfection by Control. Upon Collateral Agent’s request
    therefor, Borrower shall take all steps necessary to grant Collateral Agent Control, and to ensure that Collateral Agent retains such Control, of all Collateral 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 other than those described in clauses (v) or (vi) of such definition).

   

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

   

  (c)          Casualty Event. Borrower
      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 Borrower 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, Borrower shall have quiet possession of the Equipment during the Term of the applicable Loan. The Equipment shall not constitute, and Borrower 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)          Landlord Waiver. Upon the reasonable request of
    Lender, to the extent not provided on the Closing Date or in connection with the conditions to any Loan Schedule under Section 4(b), Borrower shall obtain a written host’s, landlord’s, mortgagee’s or warehouseman’s acknowledgement and waiver,
    subordination, no interest letter, collateral access agreement or other document in form and substance satisfactory to Lender from all persons having any interest in the real estate upon which any Equipment is located, stored or garaged.

  
    -23-

    
      
 

  

   

  (f)           DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES;
        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS FINANCED “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER BORROWER IS ACQUIRING THE EQUIPMENT DIRECTLY FROM A SUPPLIER OR FROM LENDER:
    (i) 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) LENDER IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF THE
    EQUIPMENT NOR THE MANUFACTURER’S OR SUPPLIER’S AGENT AND NO SUCH PERSON IS LENDER’S AGENT FOR ANY PURPOSE; (iii) 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 (NOR SHALL BORROWER BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO LENDER FOR ANY INDIRECT SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR
    IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MASTER AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 5(F) SHALL LIMIT THE BORROWER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10(C) OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT); AND (iv) BORROWER HAS SELECTED EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT
    BASED ON ITS OWN JUDGMENT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RELIANCE UPON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY LENDER.

   

  6.           REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and
    warrants to Collateral Agent and Lender as of the Closing Date, as of each Commencement Date and as of the date of each funding of a Loan (if a date other than the Commencement Date for such Loan) that:

   

  (a)           Organization; Powers. Borrower is a company duly,
    existing and in good standing under the laws of the province of British Columbia and qualified to do business wherever necessary to carry on its present business and operations and to own its property; Borrower has full company power and authority to
    enter into this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to incur each Loan and grant Liens hereunder, and to perform its obligations under this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

   

  (b)           Authorization; No Conflicts; Enforceability. Each
    Loan Document, when entered into has been duly executed and authorized, requires no further approval of its board of directors (or other governing body) or other third party approval of, or the giving of notice to, any Governmental Authority and does
    not contravene any Requirement of Law, the Borrower’s Organizational Documents, or any agreement, indenture, or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Borrower
    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. The provisions of this Master Agreement create
    legal and valid Liens on and security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders under each Loan Schedule, the provisions of each Loan Schedule create legal and valid Liens on and security interests
    in all of the Collateral set forth therein in favor of Lender and such Liens and security interests constitute perfected and continuing Liens on and security interests in the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against Borrower and all
    third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral (subject to Permitted Encumbrances other than those described in clauses (v) or (vi) of such definition).

  
    -24-

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)           Compliance With Laws; Sanctions. Except where the
    failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with (i) each Requirement of Law applicable to it or its property (including its
    Organizational Documents) and (ii) all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property. Borrower and any other person who Controls Borrower is not a Sanctioned Person or subject to any Sanctions and Borrower and 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 Borrower is not, nor is any
    director, officer, employee or agent of Borrower (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.

   

  (e)           Litigation. There are no pending or threatened
    actions or proceedings against or affecting Borrower before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually
    or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (except as Borrower has otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing).

   

  (f)           Solvency. Borrower is solvent and has the ability to
    pay Borrower’s debts when they come due and Borrower is not contemplating and has not contemplated relief under any bankruptcy laws or other similar laws for the relief of debtors, except as disclosed to Lender in writing.

   

  (g)           Financial Statements. All of Borrower’s (or Parent’s
    as applicable) financial statements and other information heretofore given and hereafter to be given to Lender are and will be true and complete in all material respects as of their respective dates, and fairly represent and will fairly represent
    Borrower’s or Parent’s, as applicable, financial condition, and no material adverse change has or will have occurred in such financial condition reflected therein after the respective date thereof upon delivery to Lender, unless Borrower notifies
    Lender in writing of the same.

   

  (h)           Use of Equipment. Except with Lender’s prior written
    consent and appropriate insurance satisfactory to Lender, the Equipment will not be used to store, transport, contain or deliver any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Laws or transport any persons for hire.

   

  (i)            Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each Loan have been
    used and will be used, whether directly or indirectly as set forth in Section 7(f).

   

  (j)            [Reserved].

   

  (k)          No Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has not
    made any representation or warranty as to the legal, accounting or tax characterization or effect of any Loan Schedule or any financing contemplated hereby. Borrower has consulted its own advisors with respect to such matters.

  
    -25-

    
      
 

  

   

  (l)           Location of Collateral. Each Item of Equipment shall
    at all times be kept or stored at the location set forth on the applicable Loan Schedule with respect to such Item of Equipment, or at such other locations as Lender may consent to from time to time, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
    conditioned or delayed.

   

  (m)         [Reserved].

   

  All representations and warranties contained herein shall be continuing in nature and in effect at all times prior to Borrower satisfying all of Borrower’s
    obligations to Lender under each Loan Schedule and this Master Agreement.

  (e)           Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost
    and expense, commencing with the delivery of any Equipment to Borrower and continuing during the Term of each Loan Schedule until Borrower’s 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 reasonably satisfactory to Lender (which may on reasonable notice require Borrower to change such form, amount or company), 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 Lender), with Lender and 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 Payoff Amount (excluding the Prepayment Fee) with Lender and Lender’s successors and/or assigns named as lender loss payee; and (iii) if reasonably requested by
    Lender, other or additional coverage in respect of the Equipment for an amount and on terms which would be obtained by a prudent owner and to the extent that such insurance coverage is commercially available at a commercially reasonable cost Borrower
    shall waive Borrower’s rights of subrogation, if any, and have Borrower’s insurance carrier waive its right of subrogation, if any, against Lender for any and all loss or damage. All policies shall contain clauses requiring the insurer to furnish
    Lender with at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of any material change, cancellation, or nonrenewal of coverage and stating that coverage shall not be invalidated against Lender or Lender’s assigns because of any violation of any
    condition or warranty contained in any policy or application therefor by Borrower or by reason of any action or inaction of Borrower. Borrower agrees to inform Lender immediately in writing of any notices from, or other communications with, any
    insurers that may in any way adversely affect the insurance policies being maintained pursuant to this Section or of any insurance claims. No insurance shall be subject to any co-insurance clause. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish Lender
    with certificates of insurance, proper endorsements or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that such insurance coverages are in effect. If Borrower shall fail to carry any insurance required hereunder, Lender (without obligation and without waiving
    any default or Event of Default by Borrower hereunder) may do so at Lender’s sole option and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Borrower acknowledges that such insurance will benefit Lender only and may cost substantially more than insurance Borrower
    might procure. Borrower agrees that Lender is not a seller of insurance nor is Lender in the insurance business. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender evidence of compliance with this Section satisfactory to Lender, including any requested copies of
    policies, certificates and endorsements, with premium receipts therefor, on or before the date of execution by Borrower of the applicable Loan Schedule and thereafter within two (2) Business Days after Lender’s request. Lender shall be under no duty to
    ascertain the existence of or to examine any such policy or to advise Borrower in the event any such policy shall not comply with the requirements hereof.

   

  (f)            Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall only use the
    proceeds of each Loan for purposes of financing or refinancing Equipment, or such other purposes as the Lender shall approve.

    premises, if different from Borrower, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s officers and authorized representatives shall comply with Borrower’s COVID-19 and other health and safety protocols, policies and procedures when accessing the
    location of Borrower.

   

  (h)           Additional NYDIG Related Covenants. Borrower
    covenants and agrees that it shall comply (or cause Parent to comply, as applicable) with each of the covenants set forth in Schedule 7(h) attached hereto.

    not move or allow any Item of Equipment to be moved to a location different from the location specified in the applicable Loan Schedule unless consented to in writing by the Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

    under which it exists as of the Closing Date.

    and payable immediately, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b), in the case of any event
    with respect to Borrower described in clauses (v)(B), (v)(C) or (vi) of Section 9(a), the principal of each Loan then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations of Borrower accrued

  (iii)          in conjunction with promptly exercising Lender’s rights pursuant to
    this Section 9(b), require Borrower to immediately assemble, make available and if requested by Lender deliver the related Equipment constituting Specified Collateral (or, if so requested, any related Items designated by Lender) to Lender at a time and
    place, within the United States or Canada, designated by Lender;

  
    -32-

    
      
 

  

   

  (iv)          in conjunction with promptly exercising Lender’s rights pursuant to
    this Section 9(b), enter any premises where any Equipment constituting Specified Collateral of such Lender may be located and repossess, disable or take possession of such Equipment constituting Specified Collateral of such Lender (and/or any attached
    or unattached parts) by self-help, summary proceedings or otherwise without liability for rent, costs, damages or others (save and except such costs and damages incurred or suffered as a result of Lender’s actions);

   

   (v)            use Borrower’s premises for storage without rent or liability;

   

  (vi)          Dispose of the related Equipment constituting Specified Collateral or
    such Items constituting the same at private or public sale to a third party on arm’s length terms, in bulk or in parcels, whether such Equipment is present at such sale and with or without notice except to the extent required by applicable law, and if
    notice is required by law such requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in writing to Borrower at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of the public sale or the time after which any other Disposition is to be made
    and, in the event of any dispute between Lender and Borrower in connection with this Section 9(b)(vi), the Borrower will have the right to acquire such Equipment at the same price, agreed between Lender and a third party, within ten (10) Business Days
    of written notice by the Lender to the Borrower of such disposal;

  In the event Lender receives any proceeds from the Disposition of any Specified Collateral, the Net Proceeds of such Disposition shall be turned over to the
    Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall apply any proceeds it receives from the Disposition of any Specified Collateral (including those turned over by a Lender) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(e)(ii). In the event Lender
    receives any proceeds from the Disposition of any Collateral or Specified Collateral not constituting such Lender’s Specified Collateral, such Lender shall turn over such proceeds to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall apply proceeds
    from the Disposition of Collateral and Specified Collateral of another Lender (including in each case those turned over by any Lender) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f) (or Section 3(e) in the case of Specified
    Collateral of another Lender). In the event that a Lender has exercised remedies set forth in this Section 9(b) and caused the Collateral Agent to dispose of its Specified Collateral and the Net Proceeds of such Specified Collateral are insufficient to
    pay in full all Obligations then owed to such Lender, then such Lender may direct the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) with respect to the Collateral (including Mined Cryptocurrency) and any proceeds received by the
    Collateral Agent in connection therewith shall be applied to the Obligations of all Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f) (and the claim of any Lender receiving payment pursuant to such application shall be reduced only by
    the amount actually received by any such Lender).

  
    -33-

    
      
 

  

   

  If Lender shall, including by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive any Net Proceeds in respect of any Collateral or Specified
    Collateral, Lender shall deliver 100% of such Net Proceeds to the Collateral Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the requirements of Sections 3(e), 3(f), 9(b) and 9(c) hereof, as applicable.

   

  Any remedies available to Lender under this Section 9(b) shall be limited to the Loans and Specified Collateral as set forth on the applicable Loan Schedule(s) to
    which such Lender is a party.

    shall have occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent may, at its option, and shall, as directed by the Required Lenders, exercise any of the following remedies with respect to any or all Collateral, Specified Collateral and Loan Documents:

   

  (i)            proceed at law or in equity to enforce specifically Borrower’s
    performance or recover damages, including all rights available to Collateral Agent or Lender under the UCC with respect to any Collateral or Specified Collateral, including, without limitation any Digital Assets (whether or not the UCC applies to the
    affected Collateral);

   

  (ii)           in conjunction with promptly exercising Collateral Agent’s rights
    pursuant to this Section 9(c), require Borrower to immediately assemble, make available and if requested by Collateral Agent, deliver all Mined Cryptocurrency related to the Equipment and all other Collateral and Specified Collateral in Borrower’s
    possession to Collateral Agent at a time and place, within the United States or Canada, designated by Collateral Agent; and take such actions as Collateral Agent may request to grant Collateral Agent exclusive access and control over any Digital Asset
    wallet or other Digital Asset platforms where Borrower stores or houses any Digital Assets that are Collateral hereunder;

    or unattached parts) by self-help, summary proceedings or otherwise without liability for rent, costs, damages or others (save and except such costs and damages incurred or suffered as a result of Collateral Agent’s actions);

   

   (iv)          use Borrower’s premises for storage without rent or liability;

    Collateral or Specified Collateral at private or public sale to a third party on arm’s length terms, in bulk or in parcels, whether such Collateral is present at such sale and with or without notice except to the extent required by applicable law, and
    if notice is required by law such requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in writing to Borrower at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of the public sale or the time after which any other Disposition is to be
    made and, in the event of any dispute between Collateral Agent and Borrower in connection with this Section 9(c)(v), the Borrower will have the right to acquire the Collateral at the same price, agreed between Collateral and a third party, within ten
    (10) Business Days of written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of such disposal;

  
    -34-

    
      
 

  

   

  (vi)         at Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, apply from time to time, in

  (vii)        require that the Borrower and Parent terminate any or all Hashpower

    Wallet Agreement with any Wallet Custodian and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, including, without limitation, immediately blocking Borrower’s access to the ACA Wallet and Disposing of the Digital Assets in such ACA Wallet in

    -35-

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)           Dispositions Generally. With respect to any exercise
    by Lender or Collateral Agent of its right to Dispose of any Items of Equipment, Specified Collateral or other Collateral, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that 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; Lender and Collateral Agent may comply with any Requirement of Law that 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 Lender contains goods or other property not constituting Equipment, Borrower agrees that Collateral Agent or Lender may take such other goods or property, provided that Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable, makes reasonable
    efforts to make such goods or property available to Borrower after repossession upon Borrower’s 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 Lender under this Master Agreement, any Loan Schedule or otherwise, Borrower shall, upon demand, pay
    all Attorneys’ Fees and associated reasonable costs and expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by any Requirement of Law, Borrower waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by Requirement of Law or otherwise that may require Lender or Collateral
    Agent to sell, lease or otherwise use any Collateral or Specified Collateral in mitigation of Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s damages set forth herein or in such Loan Schedule or that may otherwise limit or modify any of Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s
    rights or remedies. Borrower agrees that Borrower 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 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 Lender’s or Collateral
    Agent’s other rights or remedies. Subject to any Requirement of Law and the terms of this Master Agreement, (i) 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) Lender and/or Collateral Agent may buy at any sale and become the owner of the Equipment or other Collateral or Specified Collateral. Subject to any Requirement of Law and the terms of this Master Agreement, 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 the rights and remedies under this Section 9 at such time as Lender or Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (including in order to take possession of, collect,
    receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders under each Loan Schedule, an
    irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower), including in such license the right to use, license, sublicense, or practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
    acquired by or licensed to Borrower, 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 software and programs used for the compilation or
    printout thereof.

  
    -36-

    
      
 

  

   

  

  (f)         Setoff Rights. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
    and be continuing, Collateral Agent, 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 or Digital
    Assets at any time held, in the possession of, or otherwise controlled by, such Person, and other obligations at any time owing by Lender or any Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, against any and all of the Obligations in any
    order that Lender determines in its sole discretion, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Master Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or
    are owed to an Affiliate of Lender different from Lender or any other Affiliate holding, controlling or possessing such cash, money or Digital Assets, or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to other
    rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Lender may have. Each Lender and the Collateral Agent agrees to notify the Borrower promptly of any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall
    not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) no Lender or any of its respective Affiliates shall exercise such right of setoff or application
    without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and (ii) all such amounts received by Lender from Borrower pursuant to this Section 9(f) shall be conveyed to the Collateral Agent for ratable distribution to the Lenders in accordance with Section






      9(c).

   

  (g)       Digital Assets. With respect to Digital Assets,
      Borrower agrees that the Digital Assets pledged as Collateral and Mined Cryptocurrency as a general matter are of a kind or type customarily sold on recognized markets, subject to standard price quotations and may threaten to decline speedily in
      value. Borrower agrees that upon an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with the terms of this Master Agreement, 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 and Mined Cryptocurrency into U.S. dollars at any price determined by the Collateral Agent using commercially reasonable pricing methods customarily used in the exchange or over-the-counter markets for
      Digital Assets, without notice to Borrower (except as otherwise provide in Section 9(c)) and (ii) liquidate and apply the Net Proceeds of such liquidation to the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 3(f). Borrower agrees
      that if the Collateral Agent or Lender exercises any liquidation rights or other secured party remedies with respect to Borrower’s Digital Assets, that the Collateral Agent or Lender may value the Digital Assets (with or without liquidation), using
      the same valuation method and same process that is otherwise used in its business or using any other commercially reasonable valuation method. Borrower, Lender and Collateral Agent agree that the actions described in the previous two sentences shall
      be commercially reasonable under the applicable UCC. Borrower understands and agrees that the value of the pledged Digital Assets and Mined Cryptocurrency may rise or fall quickly and that neither Lender nor Collateral Agent has any obligation to
      exercise remedies or liquidate the Digital Assets at a time that provides the best price for Borrower. Neither Lender nor Collateral Agent shall be liable to Borrower for any losses on Digital Assets related to any disposition or valuation thereof.
      Borrower shall be liable for all reasonable costs of liquidation and for all taxes related thereto.

  The parties hereto may change the address at which they are to receive notices, demands and other communications hereunder, by notice in
    writing in the foregoing manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice by Lender to Borrower pursuant to Article 9 notifying Borrower of an Event of Default (or unmatured Event of Default) hereunder and sent by electronic mail shall be deemed

    -38-

    
      
 

  

   

  (b)        Power of Attorney; Further Assurances. Borrower shall
    promptly execute and deliver to Lender and Collateral Agent such further documents and take such further actions as Lender or Collateral Agent may require in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Master Agreement and each
    Loan Schedule. Borrower grants to each of Lender and Collateral Agent a power of attorney in Borrower’s name, which is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon an Event of Default that is continuing: (i) to endorse or execute in
    Borrower’s name any such instruments, financing statements, documents, agreements and filings which Lender deems necessary to protect Lender’s interest hereunder and in the Equipment and other Collateral and proceeds thereof, including all insurance
    documentation and all checks or other insurance proceeds; (ii) to apply for a certificate of title for any Item of Equipment that is required to be titled under the laws of any jurisdiction where the Equipment is or may be used and/or to transfer title
    thereto upon the exercise by Lender of its remedies upon an Event of Default by Borrower under this Master Agreement. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements, provide any indemnity or otherwise perform any obligation hereunder
    that may be performed by the payment of money, Lender may, in addition to and without waiver of any other right or remedy, perform or comply with such agreements in its own name or in Borrower’s name as attorney-in-fact, and, upon demand, Borrower
    agrees to reimburse Lender immediately for the amount of any payments or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate then in effect or the highest rate allowable
    under applicable law, whichever is lower.

   

  (c)        Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and
    defend Lender, Collateral Agent, their Affiliates and their successors and assigns, agents and employees (as used in this Section 10(c), collectively, “Indemnitee(s)”), and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against, in connection
    with the Loan Documents, any and all claims, demands, suits, legal proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, arbitration, mediation, bankruptcy and appeal, and including all reasonable damages, losses, costs and
    expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees), arising out of or in connection with:(i) the actual or alleged manufacture, purchase, ordering, financing, shipment, acceptance or rejection, titling, registration, leasing, ownership,
    delivery, rejection, non-delivery, possession, use, transportation, storage, operation, maintenance, repair, return or disposition of any Item of Equipment; (ii) patent, trademark or copyright infringement; (iii) any breach, Default or Event of Default
    by Borrower; (vi) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any property owned or leased by Borrower; (vii) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to
    conditions at any property owned or leased by Borrower or the operations conducted thereon, including, without limitation, where any of the Equipment may at any time be located; (viii) the investigation, cleanup or remediation or offsite locations at
    which Borrower or its respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Materials; and (ix) proceedings relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such proceeding is brought by the Borrower or its 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. Any indemnity under this Section 10(c) shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
    available to the extent that such indemnity arises by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

   

   

  
    -39-

    
      
 

  

   

  (d)         Expenses. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred
    and is continuing, Borrower shall pay to Lender or Collateral Agent, as applicable, promptly upon request all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender or Collateral Agent following such Event of Default, in connection with the enforcement,
    collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any external counsel for Lender and Collateral Agent, which may include, without limitation, reasonable costs and
    expenses related to (i) filing any financing, continuation or termination statements, (ii) any title and lien searches with respect to this Master Agreement and the Equipment, (iii) documentary stamp taxes relating to this Master Agreement; (iv)
    titling and other costs to record Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s interest in any item of Equipment; and (v) procuring certified charter or organizational documents and good standing certificates of Borrower.

   

  (e)         Assignment; Servicer.

   

  (i)        Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in
    this Master Agreement or any Loan Schedule, Borrower may not sell, transfer, assign, lease, rent or otherwise transfer possession of or encumber any Equipment or other Collateral or its rights or obligations under this Master Agreement or any Loan
    Document without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Each Loan Schedule and any or all of the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and thereunder shall be assignable and
    transferable by Lender absolutely or as security, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion without notice to or consent of Borrower; provided, that (1) so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, no such assignment of
    any of the Initial Committed Amount that has not been funded as a Loan under any Loan Schedule may occur prior to June 30, 2022 without Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), (2) an Assignment and
    Assumption is entered into by Lender and such assignee, (3) such assignee is domiciled in the U.S., Canada, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda or the British Virgin Islands, (4) no assignment shall be made to (x) a Sanctioned Person, an assignee located,
    organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of any Sanctions, an assignee that is itself subject to any Sanctions, or an assignee that is not, to Lender’s knowledge, in compliance with all applicable
    Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and AML Laws (including, without limitation, any federal regulations to prevent money laundering) or (y) an assignee who is primarily in the business of Bitcoin mining or producing Bitcoin mining server equipment, and
    (5) the Borrower may at any time request that the Servicer identify to the Borrower any assignments that have been made pursuant to this Section 10(e)(i). Upon notice to Borrower by Lender of any such assignment or transfer, Borrower shall
    promptly acknowledge in writing to Lender and such assignees, its obligations under such Loan Schedules and such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. Any such assignment shall not relieve Lender of its obligations hereunder unless
    specifically assumed by the assignee. BORROWER AGREES IT 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 ASSIGNOR LENDER’S OBLIGATIONS.

   

   

  
    -40-

    
      
 

  

   

  (ii)        Servicing Rights. Servicer may assign any
    of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document solely with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required to the extent the
    Borrower Approval Conditions are not satisfied. In the event that 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) Borrower’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 Borrower, 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. 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 undertaking all of NYDIG’s duties and other obligations as Servicer,
    including, without limitation, the duties and obligations set forth in subclause (A) of the first sentence of this Section 10(e)(ii). In the event of a Lender Assignment, Borrower shall make any Payments thereafter to Servicer unless and until Borrower
    receives a written instruction to the contrary from the then existing Lender or Servicer.

   

  (iii)       Access to Digital Asset Accounts. Borrower
    shall, and shall cause Parent to, at all times provide Lender with application programming interface (API) and/or ‘read’ access rights to Borrower’s mining pool accounts, dashboards or similar information interfaces that shows the operational status
    and hashrate of the Equipment. Without limiting any of Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s other rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable law, upon Collateral Agent’s request following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower
    shall remit all Mined Cryptocurrency and other Digital Assets included in the Collateral to a Digital Asset account or wallet held by or on behalf of Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agent may monetize any such Mined Cryptocurrency or Digital Assets
    and apply it to the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any actual losses of any Digital Assets from Digital Asset accounts or wallets held by or on behalf of Collateral Agent except to the
    extent such losses result from Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

   

  (f)         Unconditional Non-Cancellable Agreement. BORROWER’S
    OBLIGATION 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 BORROWER 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.

   

  (g)         Waivers; Amendments.

   

  (i)         Waivers. No failure or delay by 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 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 Borrower 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 Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

   

   

  
    -41-

    
      
 

  

   

  

   

  (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 Borrower and
    Servicer, in the case of this Master Agreement, or the Lender under such Loan Schedule, in the case of such Loan Schedule, or (B) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Lender (or
    Collateral Agent, with respect to any Loan Document to which Collateral Agent but not Lender is a party) (or, in the case of Loan Documents solely with respect to a particular Loan Schedule, the Lender under such Loan Schedule) and Borrower (or Parent,
    in the case of the Parent Letter Agreement), as applicable. No agreement shall amend, modify, or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the
    Collateral Agent (in addition to the parties otherwise necessary to consent to any such amendment or modification).

   

  (h)         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.

   

   (i)          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 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.

   

   

   

  
    -42-

    
      
 

  

   

  (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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and Lender hereby (I) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any
    workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation between Lender and Borrower, 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) Lender or Borrower may, at their 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 other party (and any Affiliate of such party) for any liabilities arising solely from such party’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 Borrower or Lender 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 Lender’s manually applied signature and is marked “Sole Original” by 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 Loan Schedule will be the electronic copy in Lender’s or its assignee’s electronic vault
    identified by the parties as the sole authoritative copy.

   

   (j)          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. Borrower and 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 PARTY HERETO 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

    AGAINST LENDER, SHALL ONLY BE BROUGHT IN SAID FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK. BORROWER AND 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 LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
    DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

   

  (iii)        Each party hereto 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 party hereto 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 Borrower or 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.

  (vi)       Borrower hereby appoints, and shall maintain the
    appointment of, Cogency Global Inc. (the “Process Agent”), with an office at 122 E. 42nd Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10168, as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its properties service of copies of the summons and complaint and

    a copy to the Borrower at its address specified herein, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, Borrower also irrevocably consents to the
    service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail of copies of such process to it at its address specified herein.

   

  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 directly or indirectly and before, on or after the date of this Master
    Agreement. “Confidential Information” means information that is made available by or on behalf of the discloser to the recipient, or is otherwise obtained by or on behalf of the recipient, and 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

    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. No Confidential
    Information provided by a party hereto may be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of the party that provided the information (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that each of Lender and
    Borrower may disclose such information (and, as applicable, to the extent those persons need to know the Confidential Information):

   

  (i)         to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers,

    source) (and in each case in connection with any disclosure under this clause (ii), each of the Borrower and Lender shall obtain from any such recipient an agreement in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms similar in all
    material respects to this Section 11);

  (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 and including any such disclosure on a confidential basis to any
    rating agency in connection with rating any securitization or other financing transaction in each case that is not specific to the Borrower) (and in connection with any disclosure under this clause (iii), the disclosing party shall direct any
    recipients of such Confidential Information to maintain the confidentiality thereof in accordance with such recipient’s customary procedures for handling its own confidential information of such nature);

   

  (iv)       to any transferee or potential transferee or
    participant of or with 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 Borrower and Servicer to maintain the
    confidentiality of such information on terms similar in all material respects to this Section 11;

   

  (v)        in connection with Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s
    enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Master Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents; or

   

   (vi)       to its and its Affiliates’ regulators.

   

  Prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to an Authorized Representative or any other recipient of information as permitted pursuant to the
    preceding clauses (i) through (vi), each of Borrower and Lender, as applicable, must inform the Authorized Representative or such other recipient of the confidential nature of that Confidential Information and of Lender’s or Borrower’s, as applicable,
    obligations in relation to it under this Master Agreement and ensure that any Authorized Representative agrees to comply with those obligations. Lender and Borrower, as applicable, shall each be responsible for any breach of this Section 11 by
    its Authorized Representatives.

   

  In addition to the foregoing, notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 11, during the term of this Master Agreement, the recipient of
    Confidential Information may disclose any such information to the extent required by any applicable law, rule or regulation (including the rules or requirements of a securities exchange or market regulator) as determined by recipient or any recipient’s
    Affiliates (however the recipient must not intentionally do, and must ensure none of its Authorized Representatives intentionally does, anything that results in it, or an Affiliate of it, becoming obliged to disclose Confidential Information).

   

  (b)         Section 11(a) is not applicable to any information that the
    recipient can establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the discloser (i) was in the public domain when disclosed through no fault of the recipient or any Authorized Representative of such recipient, (ii) was lawfully in a party’s possession before
    the other party provided it pursuant to this Master Agreement (in circumstances that did not involve any third party breaching an obligation of confidence owed to the discloser or another person), (iii) becomes part of the public domain by publication
    or otherwise through no unauthorized act or omission on the part of the recipient, 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)         Lender acknowledges that, as a result of the receipt of Confidential
    Information under this document, it may be or be deemed to be in possession of material non-public information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (which, for the purposes of this section, includes information that could reasonably be
    expected to have a material effect on the price or value of the shares of Iris Energy Limited). Lender acknowledges that it is aware of and must comply with (and must ensure that any Lender Authorized Representative who receives access to any part of
    the Confidential Information has been advised of and will comply with) applicable laws that prohibit a person who has material non-public information about a company from acquiring or selling securities of that company or from communicating that
    information to any other person in circumstances where it is reasonably foreseeable that the other person may acquire or sell any securities of the company while the relevant information remains material and non-public.

   

  (d)         Unless otherwise provided in accordance with this Master Agreement
    or any other Loan Document, the recipient of Confidential Information acknowledges that discloser has made no representation or warranty that the Confidential Information is accurate, complete, up to date or fit for any particular purpose.

   

  (e)         Unless otherwise provided in accordance with this Master Agreement
    or any other Loan Document, the recipient of Confidential Information acknowledges that, except to the extent that exclusion of liability is not permitted by law, none of the discloser, its Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, agents or
    advisers is liable (whether on the basis of negligence or otherwise) or accepts responsibility for any loss or damage that the recipient or anyone else may suffer or incur as a result of using, relying on or disclosing any Confidential Information.

   

  (f)          Nothing in this Master Agreement shall be construed as granting or
    conferring on the recipient of Confidential Information any proprietary rights, licenses or other rights in the Confidential Information, other than the rights expressly granted under this Master Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

   

  (g)         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.         THE COLLATERAL AGENT.

   

  (a)         Appointment. 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 Lender authorizes the 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 the Collateral Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for
    herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the 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 the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Collateral Agent in good faith believes
    exposes it to liability unless the Collateral Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from 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, the 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, the 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 the 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 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)

   

   

  
    -47-

    
      
 

  

   

  

   

  (b)         Direction. Wherever Lender or Lenders 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, such right shall only be exercised upon the written instructions
    of Lenders holding greater than 50% of the Loans under all Loan Schedules outstanding at such time (the “Required Lenders”).

   

  (c)         Collateral Agent Qualification. The Collateral Agent
    (including any successor Collateral Agent) shall (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.

   

  (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 the 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 and solely for cause, may remove the 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 the Collateral Agent and any appointment of a new Collateral Agent. Any appointment of a replacement Collateral Agent upon the
    Collateral Agent’s resignation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 12(d) shall be subject to the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that the Borrower’s
    consent shall not be required to the extent the Borrower Approval Conditions are not satisfied.
