Section 2.5 Repayments and Prepayments. 

(a) Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to any prepayment required in accordance with Section 10.2 as a result of an Event
of Default hereunder, the Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment as follows: 
 (i) If the SPAC or a Loan Party or
any Subsidiary of a Loan Party shall at any time or from time to time receive Net Proceeds in the aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 from the issuance of Equity Interests pursuant to one or more SPAC Share Purchase Agreements, then

five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof by the SPAC or a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an amount equal to 25% of such excess Net Proceeds to
Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans. 
 (ii) If a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan
Party shall at any time or from time to time (x) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any asset in a manner not permitted hereunder or (y) suffer an Event of Loss, then (A) the Borrowers shall promptly notify
Agent of such proposed disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (B) within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof

  
 31 

 
by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to Agent for
distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Loan Party or such Subsidiary reinvests
the Net Proceeds of such disposition or Event of Loss in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrowers or such Subsidiary within 180 days after the date of such disposition or Event of Loss; provided that
the applicable Borrower notifies Agent of such Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively. 

(b) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans together with interest due thereon under
Section 4.1, in whole or in part (subject, in the case of the Payment in Full of all the Loans and to the additional requirements of Section 4.9), upon at least two (2) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by Borrowers
to Agent. 
 (c) Termination Date. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and all fees and Lender Group Expenses payable by Borrowers hereunder, shall become due and payable on the Termination Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof.

principal balances thereof. 
 Section 2.6 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account. Agent shall maintain an account
on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) in which Borrowers will be charged with all Loans made by the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, including the Loans, interest, fees, Lender Group Expenses
and any other Obligations. The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Lenders from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account. The Lender shall send Borrowers a monthly statement reflecting the activity in the Loan Account.
Each such statement shall be an account stated and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.7 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.8 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period from the Closing Date through and including the Termination
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at any time that any principal of or interest on any of the Loans is outstanding, except upon Payment in Full of all Obligations. 

Section 2.9 Payment Procedures. 

(a) Time of Payment. Each payment by Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees or Lender Group Expenses hereunder shall be made
to Agent. All payments to be made by Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to

  
 32 

 
4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof to Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares (except as expressly otherwise provided), at Agent’s Payment
Account in immediately available funds. Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made for the account of Agent only, Agent shall distribute all payments to the Lenders on the Business Day following receipt in like funds as received.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.3 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender
with the other Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (b) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder. 

(c) Application. Subject to Section 10.5, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default
exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent receives any payment or
proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent. 

Section 2.10 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.9, or
requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.10, then such Lender (at the request of Borrowers) shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 2.11 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Agent may recover all amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender on demand, and all such amounts owing shall bear interest at the Default Rate
until Paid in Full. 
 (b) The failure of any Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender
of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. Conversely, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of another Lender to fund such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Loan. 

  
 33 

 (c) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by
Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by
Agent. Agent may hold and, in its reasonable discretion, apply any or all of such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations or re-lend to Borrowers the amount of all such payments received
or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and such
Lender’s Loans made by it, as applicable, for such purposes shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until the Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender. The operation of this
Section shall not be construed to relieve or excuse the performance by any of Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder. 
 (d)
[Reserved]. 
 (e) If Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that a Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to subsection (c) above) whereupon that Lender will cease to
be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to
the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. 
 Section 2.12 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Obligations to (b) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) such participations in the Obligations payable to them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other
Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to
(ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to
(B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing 

  
 34 

 
Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any off-sets or set-offs effected in accordance with Section 12.34 in respect of Specified Loss Amounts shall not be subject
to this Section 2.13 and shall be applicable solely to the Loans of Blockchain without any obligation to account to any other Secured Party in respect thereof.

 ARTICLE IV 

INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES 

Section 4.1 Interest. Subject to Section 4.2, Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
interest on the Loans, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) all payments of interest under this Section 4.1 on or prior to the Cash Interest
Payment Commencement Date, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest upon the termination (if any) of the definitive merger agreement between Parent and the SPAC, shall in each case be due and payable
“in-kind” by adding the accrued amount to the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Loan in respect of which they would accrue as of the applicable Interest Payment Date (any such ‘‘paid-in-kind” portion of the interest, a “PIK Amount”), which PIK Amounts shall thereafter be deemed principal of the relevant Loan to which
it relates bearing interest from such Interest Payment Date in accordance with this Section 4 .1. 
 Section 4.2
Interest After Event of Default. (a) Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(d),), and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 10.1(d)), at the direction of the Required Lenders, all Loans and all Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2.0%) above the per
annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder (the “Default Rate”). 
 Section 4.3 [Reserved]. 

Section 4.4 Late Fee. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to
Section 10.1(a), Borrower shall incur an additional fee (the “Late Fee”) equal to 10% (annualized, calculated daily) of the relevant Obligations, which Late Fee shall be payable in addition to the interest payable
under Section 4.1. 
 Section 4.5 [Reserved]. 

Section 4.6 [Reserved]. 

Section 4.7 [Reserved]. 

  
 35 

 Section 4.8 Calculations. All calculations of interest and fees hereunder shall
be made by Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate, fee or other payment hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each fee payable under this Agreement is fully earned and non-refundable on the date such fee is due and payable
and that each such fee constitutes Obligations and is in addition to any other fees payable by Borrowers under the Loan Document. 

Section 4.9 Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 
 (ii)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or
maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrowers will pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may
be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.9 and delivered to Borrowers will be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 36 

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 4.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9 for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). 
 Section 4.10 Taxes. 

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.10, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

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

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (d) Indemnification by
Borrower. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 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 such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify
Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation
of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.7 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in 

  
 37 

 
each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 4.10(e). 

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section 4.1 0, such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent 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 Agent. 
 (g) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will
enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.10(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under 

  
 38 

 
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E. as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed copies
of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of
the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 88l(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related
to the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 
 ( 4) to the extent
a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower
or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any
Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or 

  
 39 

 
times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date. 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (h)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.10 (including by the
payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than
the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(other than by reason of a release of Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof) with the priority required by the relevant Security Document, in each case for any reason other than through the action of the Agent or any Secured
Party or the failure of Agent or any Secured Party to take any action within its control; or 
 (i) (i) any material provision,
covenant, agreement or obligation of a Loan Party contained in any of the Loan Documents, taken as a whole, shall cease to be enforceable (except in accordance with its terms or as a result of acts or a failure to act by any Agent where the Loan

Required Lenders) may take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against Borrowers to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event
of Default with respect to a Loan Party specified in Section 10.l(d), in which case all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of Agent
or any Lender, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower. 

  
 66 

 Section 10.3 Other Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and the Lenders shall have all rights and remedies with
respect to the Obligations and the Collateral under applicable law (including the UCC) and the Loan Documents, and Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may do any or all of the following: (i) remove for copying all documents,
instruments, files and records (including the copying of any computer records) relating to Borrowers’ Receivables or use (at the expense of Borrowers) such supplies or space of Borrowers at Borrowers’ places of business necessary to
administer, enforce and collect such Receivables including any supporting obligations; (ii) accelerate or extend the time of payment, compromise, issue credits, or bring suit on Borrowers’ Receivables (in the name of Borrowers or Agent)
and otherwise administer and collect such Receivables; (iii) sell, assign and deliver Borrowers’ Receivables with or without advertisement, at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, subject to applicable law; and
(iv) foreclose the security interests created pursuant to the Loan Documents by any available procedure, or take possession of any or all of the Collateral, without judicial process and enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for
the purpose of taking possession of or removing the same. 
 (b) The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based
upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or
any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities)
all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of
the UCC, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in
any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy, in each case, free from any right of redemption, which right is expressly waived by Borrowers. If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by
law, it is agreed that ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification. Borrowers will assemble the Collateral in their possession and make it available at such locations in the United States as Agent may specify, whether at
the premises of a Loan Party or elsewhere, and will make reasonably available to Agent the premises and facilities of each Loan Party for the purpose of Agent’s taking possession of or removing the Collateral or putting the Collateral in
saleable form. Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Agent (at the direction of the
Required Lenders) may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Borrower
hereby grants Agent a license to enter and occupy any of Borrowers’ leased or owned premises and facilities, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies. The proceeds received from any sale of Collateral shall be applied
in accordance with Section 10.5. 

  
 67 

 Section 10.4 License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property.
Borrowers hereby grant to Agent a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free license or other right to use, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without charge, all
computer software programs, data bases, processes, Trademarks, Copyrights, labels, trade secrets, Patents, advertising materials and other Intellectual Property rights, assets and materials used by Borrowers in connection with their businesses or in
connection with the Collateral. 
 Section 10.5 Post-Default Allocation of Payments. 

(a) Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or
at Agent’s discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows: 

(i) first, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to Agent (including attorneys’ fees) in its capacity as Agent; 

(ii) second, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to the Lenders; 

(iii) third, to all Obligations constituting interest on the Loans; 

(iv) fourth, to the principal amount of outstanding Loans; 

(v) fifth, to all other Obligations (other than as referred to in (vi) below); 

(vi) sixth, to all outstanding Hosting Obligations; and 

(vii) finally, to the Loan Parties. 

Amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above before being applied to the following
category. Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category. The allocations set forth in this section are solely to determine the rights and
priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. No Loan Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section or has any standing to enforce this section. 

Section 10.6 No Marshalling: Deficiencies: Remedies Cumulative. Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to
seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The net cash proceeds resulting from Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights to
liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral shall be applied by Agent to such of the Obligations and in such order as Agent shall elect in its discretion, whether due or to become due. Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders
for any deficiencies, and Agent and the Lenders in turn agree to remit to the applicable Loan Party or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom. All of Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents shall be
cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as Agent or the Lenders may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive. 

  
 68 

 Section 10.7 Waivers. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or
in any other Loan Document, Borrowers hereby waive any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in
any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of
Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking of possession by Agent of any Collateral. Borrowers also waive any damages
(direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral or the giving of notice to any
account debtor or the collection of any Receivable of Borrowers. Borrowers also consent that Agent and the Lenders may enter upon any premises owned by or leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help,
without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court. These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and Borrowers acknowledge that it
has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations. 
 Section 10.8 Further Rights of Agent and the Lenders.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if Borrowers shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance (where applicable), or to pay any tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy, except as the same may be otherwise
permitted hereunder or which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, or if any Lien prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full and discharged or if a
Borrower shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or obligation to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for
the account of Borrowers, and all amounts so paid by Agent shall be treated as a Loan hereunder and shall constitute part of the Obligations. 

Section 10.9 Interest After Event of Default. Borrowers agree and acknowledge that any additional interest and fees that may be
charged under Section 4.2 are (a) an inducement to the Lenders to make Loans and that the Lenders and Agent would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the inclusion of such provisions, (b) fair
and reasonable estimates of the Lenders’ and Agent’s costs of administering the credit facility upon an Event of Default, and (c) intended to estimate the Lenders’ and Agent’s increased risks upon an Event of Default. 

Section 10.10 Receiver. In addition to any other remedy available to it, Agent shall also have the right, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and during its continuation, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of Borrowers. 

  
 69 

 Section 10.11 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the
foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise provided by law from
and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuation, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

than as set forth in Section 11.9, Borrowers shall not have any rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions hereof. Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and assume no obligation toward or relationship of agency
or trust with or for Borrowers.

 70

appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any

the financial or other condition of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, the financial condition of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 

Section 11.4 Certain Rights of Agent. Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If Agent requests

instructions from the Required Lenders. 
 Section 11.5 Reliance by Agent. Agent may rely upon any written, electronic or
telephonic communication it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent may obtain the advice of legal counsel (including counsel for Borrowers with respect to matters concerning Borrowers), independent

costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder or otherwise relating to the Loan
Documents unless resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements contained in this
Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Payment in Full of the Obligations. 

Section 11.7 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. In its individual capacity, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
as any other Lender or holder of a Note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein. 

  
 71 

 
The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of BCUK and
Blockchain in its individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrowers or any
Affiliate of Borrowers as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders. 
 Section 11.8 Holders of Notes. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the

(a) Resignation. Agent may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrowers, resign by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers. 
 (b) Replacement of Agent after Resignation. Upon receipt of notice of
resignation by Agent, the Required Lenders may appoint a Lender that is not a Disqualified Institution as successor agent. If such a successor agent has not been so appointed or not accepted such appointment within fifteen (15) Business Days of
the retiring Agent’s resignation notice, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent that is not a Disqualified Institution which, so long as no Event of Default then exists,
shall be subject to the written approval of Borrowers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be delivered to the retiring Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of notice of a
proposed successor agent. 
 (c) Removal of Agent. If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor thereto (so long as such successor is not a Disqualified Institution). 

(d) Discharge. Upon its acceptance of the agency hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of the provisions of this Article for
any action or inaction while it was Agent. 
 Section 11.10 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Exercise Binding. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any action or exercise of powers by Agent provided under the Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. At any time and without notice to or consent from any Lender, Agent may take any action necessary or
advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral. 

  
 72 

 (b) Releases. Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon
any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) required to be delivered in connection with permitted sales or other dispositions of Collateral hereunder, if any, upon receipt of the proceeds by Agent (or, if
permitted hereunder, the applicable Borrower), or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders. Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of Agent’s authority to release particular types or items
of Collateral. 
 (c) Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrowers, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by
the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred,
provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens
without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including the proceeds of
the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses
reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. 
 (d) No Obligation for Agent. Agent
shall not have any obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower, that the Collateral is cared for, protected or insured, or that the Liens on the Collateral have been created or perfected or have any particular
priority. With respect to the Collateral, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given BCUK’s and Blockchain’s own interests in the Collateral as one of the Lenders, and it shall have no duty or
liability whatsoever to the Lenders with respect thereto, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 11.11 Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted
under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may act or not act as it deems advisable and in the best
interests of the Lenders. 
 Section 11.12 Delivery of Information. Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender
originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from Borrowers, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other
written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request. 

  
 73 

 Section 11.13 Erroneous Payments. 

(a) If Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error) that Agent or any of its Affiliates has
erroneously, mistakenly or inadvertently transmitted any funds to any Lender or any Person who has received funds by or on behalf of a Lender (together with their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) (whether or
not such transmittal was known by any such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment, or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distributions, or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous
Payment’’) and Agent subsequently demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or any portion thereof), then such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand, return to Agent the
amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such demand was made by Agent, in same day funds (in the currency received by the Payment Recipient), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the
date such amount was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent in same day funds at the Federal Funds Rate. 

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of each Lender agrees not to assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment (or any
portion thereof) and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment (or any
portion thereof) (including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine). 
 (c) This
Section 11.13(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Indebtedness (or any portion
thereof) under any Loan Document.

requested’’ function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement) and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the
deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address
therefor; provided that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at

delay or omission of Agent or the Required Lenders to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall impair any such right or operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise by Agent or the Required Lenders of any right or remedy shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or preclude any other right or remedy.

 Section 12.3 Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights
of offset that any Lender or any of its Affiliates may have under applicable law, and whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand or the Obligations of Borrowers have matured, each Lender and its Affiliates shall have the right, anytime
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, or any other type) at any time held and any other Indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates against any and all of the Obligations. In the event that any Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises any of its rights
under this Section 12.3, such Lender shall provide notice to Agent and Borrowers of such exercise, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the exercise of such rights.

(a) Borrowers hereby agree that Borrowers will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent, each Lender, and each other Secured Party and their
respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors, shareholders, attorneys and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,

proceeding related to (A) this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) any actual or proposed use by a Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, (C) [reserved] or (D) any Indemnified

taken or required to be taken by a Borrower in connection with compliance by such Borrower, or any of its properties, with any Environmental Laws, and (iii) any pending, threatened or actual action, claim, proceeding or suit by any Owner of any
Borrower against such Borrower or any actual or purported violation of a Borrower’s Governing Documents or any other agreement or instrument to which a Borrower is a party or by which any of its properties is bound. This

Section 12.6 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders. The relationship between and among Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall be
solely that of borrower, agent and lender and, respectively. Neither the Lenders nor Agent shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrowers. Neither the Lenders nor Agent undertake any responsibility to Borrowers to review or inform Borrowers

 77 

 Section 12.7 Assignments and Participations. 

(a) Borrower Assignment. No Borrower shall assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be absolutely null and void. 
 (b)
Lender Assignments. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents upon execution and delivery to Agent, for its acceptance
and recording in the Register, of an Assignment and Acceptance, together with surrender of any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrowers, provided
that, (X) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (1 0) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and
(Y) no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee. No such assignment shall be for less than $5,000,000 of
the Loans unless it is to another Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, and each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations in respect of
the Loans. Upon the execution and delivery to Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee to Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance (the “Acceptance
Date”), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it under such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it under such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have under
Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 12.4, which shall survive such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (c) Agreements of
Assignee. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any
Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with a copy of the Financial Statements

 78 

 
such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) Agent’s Register.
Agent, as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and stated interest) of their Loans (the
“Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of
each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of each Assignment and Acceptance and surrender of the affected
Note or Notes subject to such assignment, Agent will give prompt notice thereof to Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent a new Note to the assignee in the amount
of the applicable Loans assumed by it and to the assignor in the amount of the applicable Loans retained by it, if any. Such new Note or Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the
surrendered Note or Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes and shall be dated as of the Acceptance Date. The Notes are registered obligations, the right, title and
interest of the Lenders in and to the Loans and the Notes shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the
Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder. 
 (e) Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge
that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the
issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies. The
Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above.

 (f) Lender Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in
or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding a Lender’s sale of a 

  
 79 

 
participation interest, such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged. Borrowers, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender. No
Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on or the Loans subject to such
participation interest; or (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on or the Loans subject to such participation interest. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to
the benefits of Section 4.9, Section 4.10 and Section 12.4 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.10(g) (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 4.10(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) as if it were a Lender that acquired its interest by assignment, provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to
Section 2.10 and the last sentence of Section 2.9(a) as if it were a Lender and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or Section 4.10, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 (c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for
all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(g) Securities Laws. Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that
would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction. 

(h) Information. In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security
interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party
and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 
 (i) Pledge of Loans. In addition to the other rights provided in this
Section 10.7, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the
Loans), to (i) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) or (ii) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such 

  
 80 

 
Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 12.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.
This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one
and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully
executed and delivered original manual counterpart. 
 Section 12.9 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 12.10 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and
whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrowers and evidenced
hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may
be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New
York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any
available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such
provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such
circumstance Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding
hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such
excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of Borrowers to Agent and the Lenders

  
 81 

 
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until Payment in Full thereof, so that the actual
rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and all other agreements among the parties hereto. 
 Section 12.11 Borrowers, Jointly and Severally. 

(a) Economies of Scale. Each Borrower acknowledges that it, together with each other Borrower, make up a related organization of
various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise and sharing a substantial identity of interests such that, without limitation, Borrowers render services to or for the benefit of each other, purchase or sell and supply goods
to or from or for the benefit of each other, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of each other (including the payment of creditors and guarantees of Indebtedness), provide administrative, marketing,
payroll and management services to or for the benefit of each other; have centralized accounting, common officers and directors; and are in certain circumstances are identified to creditors as a single economic and business enterprise. Accordingly,
and without limitation, any credit or other financial accommodation extended to any one Borrower pursuant hereto will result in direct and substantial economic benefit to each other Borrower, and each Borrower will likewise benefit from the
economies of scale associated with Borrowers, as a group, applying for credit or other financial accommodations pursuant hereto on a collective basis. 

(b) Waivers. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or
any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property 

(including any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until
termination of this Agreement and Payment in Full of the Obligations. 
 Section 12.12 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns;
Interpretation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and
benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly
prepared or requested such provision, any other provision, or this Agreement as a whole. 
 Section 12.13 LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY. NEITHER THE AGENT, ANY LENDER NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE LOAN PARTIES (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE LOAN PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING
OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, UNLESS IT IS

  
 82 

 
DETERMINED BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT OR COURT ORDER BINDING ON THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE) THAT THE LOSSES WERE THE RESULT OF ACTS OR
OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER, OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE). THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL FUTURE CLAIMS AGAINST THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND EACH OTHER INDEMNIFIED
PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. 
 Section 12.14 GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE

NEW YORK.

BY THE AGENT TO ENABLE THE AGENT TO REALIZE ON SUCH PROPERTY, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE AGENT. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS, SETOFFS OR CROSS-CLAIMS IN ANY
PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE LENDER. EACH LOAN PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE AGENT HAS COMMENCED A PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS. 

Section 12.16 JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT; (B) ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THE LOAN PARTIES, THE

Materials on an E-System; and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each a “Public Lender,) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public

Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent or the Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of
Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’ businesses, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials, as provided in Section 12.19. As used herein,
“Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to it or its business that a reasonable person would consider confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) Information 

  
 85 

 
may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including federal and state securities laws. 

Section 12.22 Patriot Act Notice. Agent hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act,
Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow the Lender to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Agent
will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding the 
 Loan Parties’
management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. 
 Section 12.23 Advice of
Counsel. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Section 12.24 Captions. The captions at various places in this
Agreement and any other Loan Document are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

Section 12.25 [Reserved]. 

Section 12.26 Right to Cure. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, in its discretion, (a) cure
any default by any Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Material Contract that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of
Agent and the Lenders therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (b) discharge any charges, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or
existing with respect to the Collateral and (c) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which Agent, in its discretion, determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights
of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge the Loan Account or any other account of Borrowers with Agent or the amounts thereof, such amounts to be repayable by Borrowers on
demand and bear interest until paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Loans. Agent shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or
liability of any Loan Party. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default and to proceed accordingly. 

Section 12.27 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such 

  
 86 

 
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (c) a reduction in full or in
part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (d) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of
ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights
with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (e) the variation of the terms of such liability
in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 Section 12.28 Time.
Time is of the essence in this Agreement and each other Loan Document. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all references herein and in any other Loan Documents to time shall mean and refer to New York time. 

Section 12.29 Keepwell. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party, to the extent constituting a Qualified ECP Guarantor, hereby
jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the guaranty contained in the
Guaranty and Security Agreement made by it in respect of Swap Obligations (provided that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without
rendering its obligations under this Section or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of
each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect at all times hereafter until the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section shall constitute, and this Section
shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 12.30 Platform. 

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders
by posting the Communications on the Platform. 

  
 87 

 (b) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent
Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no
event shall the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors, shareholders, attorneys or Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or
entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of
communications through the Platform, unless it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment or court order that the damages were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent Party.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is
distributed to the Agent, any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 

Section 12.31 Acknowledgment of Prior Liens and Continuation Thereof. Each Borrower (a) acknowledges and agrees that the
prior grant or grants of security interests in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in its “Collateral” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, under each “Loan Document” as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement (the “Original Loan Documents”), and each Loan Document to which it is a party shall be in respect of the Obligations of such Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) reaffirms all prior or
concurrent grants of security interests in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under each Original Loan Document and each Loan Document; and (c) agrees that, except as expressly amended hereby or unless being amended and
restated or terminated concurrently herewith, each of the Original Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. 

Section 12.32 No Novation. This Agreement does not extinguish the “Obligations” as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement or discharge or release such Obligations or the liens or priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the
“Obligations” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, or the other Original Loan Documents, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or
implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party from any of its “Obligations” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement under the Original Loan Documents. Each Loan Party hereby
(a) confirms and agrees that each Original Loan Document to which it is a party that is not being amended and restated concurrently herewith is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects (other than any representations or warranties made as
of a specific date) except that on and after the Closing Date, all references in any such Original Loan Document to ‘‘the Credit Agreement,” ‘‘thereto,” ‘‘thereof,’’ ‘‘thereunder” or
words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement; and (b) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Original Loan Document purports to
assign or pledge to any of Agent, the Lenders or the 

  
 88 

 Secured Parties or to grant to any of Agent, the Lenders or the Secured Parties a security interest in or
lien on, any collateral as security for all or any portion of any of the Obligations of the Borrower, as the case may be, from time to time existing in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement, or the Original Loan Documents, such pledge or
assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents. 

Section 12.33 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a
guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Obligations or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC’’), the parties acknowledge and agree as
follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact
be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
 (a)
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit
Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as
the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the
United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or
any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan
Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 
 (b) As used in this Section 12.33,
the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such
term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 
 “Covered Entity” means any
of the following: 
 (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. §252.82(b); 

  
 89 

 (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or 
 (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b). 
 “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and
shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 
 “QFC” has the
meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 

Section 12.34 Digital Currency Losses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower and Blockchain shall each be
responsible for any actual losses of Digital Currency from Digital Currency wallet accounts maintained on such Person’s platform, respectively, resulting from any action or inaction by a Person that is not the owner, or an Affiliate thereof, of
such Digital Currency (any such losses, a “Specified Loss Amount”). Any such Specified Loss Amount shall be valued as of the date such Digital Currency was stolen and Blockchain’s Pro Rata Share thereof shall be off-set against the Obligations on the Termination Date, without premium or penalty. 
 Section 12.35
Acknowledgements. 
  

	 	(a)	 Waivers under Existing Credit Agreement. To the extent any Default or Event of Default under and each as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement exists immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Closing Date, each such Default or Event of Default is hereby waived by the Agent and Lenders in all respects and shall not continue as a
Default or Event of Default hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	 Outstanding Obligations. Other than amounts continued as the Loan hereunder, the Loan Parties have no
further Obligations under and as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined therein). For the avoidance of doubt, all “Obligations” as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement (other than the Loan)
including, without limitation, fees and expenses, prepayment premiums, make-whole amounts, default interest, and other amounts, are hereby waived and released by the Agent and Lenders and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and shall be of
no further force and effect. 

  

	 	(c)	 Release of Initial Holdings under Existing Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
hereby acknowledge and agree that each of the Initial Holdings Guaranty and the Initial Holdings Pledge Agreement (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) has been released and shall be of no further force and effect.

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned GRIID INFRASTRUCTURE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and
together with each Person who becomes party to the Credit Agreement as a Borrower (individually and collectively and jointly and severally, the “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”), hereby
unconditionally promise to pay to [                    ] (the “Lender”), on the Termination Date, at the Lender’s office set
forth in the Credit Agreement defined below or at such other location as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount equal to the
lesser of (a) [                    ] MILLION DOLLARS ($[        ]) and (b) the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender under Section 2.1(a) of the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers further promise to pay interest in like money and funds to the Lender, for the account of the Lender, at the
aforementioned address (or at such other location as the Lender may from time to time designate) on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding from and including the date hereof until paid in full (both before and after
judgment and both before and after the occurrence of an Event of Default) at the rates and on the dates determined in accordance with, and calculated in the manner set forth in, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2022 (as amended, modified, supplemented or extended from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), by and among (i) Borrowers, (ii) each of the lenders identified as a “Lender” on Annex A attached thereto (together with each of its respective successors and assigns, if any, and any Additional Lenders,
each a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”) and (iii) Blockchain Access UK Limited, acting not individually but as agent on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Lenders and all other Secured Parties (in
such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, if any, in such capacity, therein called the “Agent”). (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). 

Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder. 

This Note is a “Note” referred to in the Credit Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefit of all terms and conditions of, and
the security of all security interests, liens and rights granted under or in connection with, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and is subject to optional and mandatory prepayment as provided therein. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Credit Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note may be declared to be or may automatically become immediately due and payable as provided in the Credit
Agreement. 

 Each Borrower acknowledges that the holder of this Note may assign, transfer or sell all or
a portion of its rights and interests in, to and under this Note to one or more Persons as provided in the Credit Agreement and that such Persons shall thereupon become vested with all of the rights and benefits of the Lender in respect hereof as to
all or that portion of this Note which is so assigned, transferred or sold. 
 In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control. 
 Each Borrower waives
presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor of this Note and authorizes the holder hereof, without notice, to increase or decrease the rate of interest on any amount owing under this Note in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
The Borrowers shall make all payments hereunder and under the Credit Agreement without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a
waiver of such rights. This Note may not be changed or modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing, which is signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification is sought. 

THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

EACH BORROWER AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE BORROWERS, ANY LENDER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR OTHER AFFILIATES, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE 

(attached) 

 ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE 

This ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE (“Assignment Agreement”) is entered into as of
                     between                     
(“Assignor”) and                      (“Assignee”). Reference is made to the Agreement described in Annex I
hereto (the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. 

1.     In accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 12.7 of the Credit Agreement, the Assignor
hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee without recourse, representation or warranty (except as set forth in Section 2 or Section 9 hereof), and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, that interest in and to the
Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the Settlement Date (as defined below) to the extent specified on Annex I. 

2.     The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that as of the date hereof (i) it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim and (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment Agreement
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) any statements, representations or warranties made in or in connection with the Loan
Documents, or (ii) the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (c) makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or any Guarantor or the performance or observance by Borrowers or any Guarantor of any of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant thereto; (d) represents and warrants that the amount set forth as the Purchase Price on Annex I represents the amount owed by Borrowers to Assignor with respect to Assignor’s share of the Loans assigned
hereunder, as reflected on Assignor’s books and records; and (e) represents and warrants that the outstanding principal amount of its commitment is equal to or in excess of the assigned Commitments or Loans (without giving effect to
assignments thereof which have not yet become effective). 
 3.     The Assignee (a) represents and warrants that
it has become a party hereto solely in reliance upon its own independent investigation of the financial and other circumstances surrounding the Loan Parties, the Collateral, the Obligations and all aspects of the transactions evidenced by or
referred to in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or has otherwise satisfied itself thereto, and that it is not relying upon any representation, warranty or statement (except any such representation, warranty or statement expressly
set forth in this Assignment Agreement) of the Assignor in connection with the assignment made under this Assignment Agreement; (b) confirms that it has received copies of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies
of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement; (c) agrees that it will, independently
and without reliance upon Agent, Assignor, or any other Lender, based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Loan
Documents; (d) confirms that it is an Eligible 

 
Assignee; (e) appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; [and] (f) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender;
[and (g) attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the Assignee’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to
be made to the Assignee under the Credit Agreement or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such rates at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty]. 

4.     Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement by the Assignor and Assignee, the Assignor will deliver this
Assignment Agreement to the Agent for recording by Agent. The effective date of this Assignment (the “Settlement Date”) shall be the latest to occur of (a) the date of the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor and the
Assignee and, except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, delivery hereof to the Agent, (b) except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, the receipt of any required consent
of the Agent, and (c) the date specified in Annex I. 
 5.     As of the Settlement Date (a) the
Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, and (b) the Assignor shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (except as set forth in Section 12.7(b)) and be released from its obligations under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and if this Assignment covers all or the remaining portion of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Assignor shall cease to be a party thereto),
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of the Credit Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Sections 4.9, 4.10 and
12.4 of the Credit Agreement. 
 6.     Upon the Settlement Date, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the Purchase Price (as
set forth in Annex I). From and after the Settlement Date, Agent shall make all payments that are due and payable to the holder of the interest assigned hereunder (including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to Assignor
for amounts which have accrued up to but excluding the Settlement Date and to Assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after the Settlement Date. On the Settlement Date, Assignor shall pay to Assignee an amount equal to the portion of any
interest, fee, or any other charge that was paid to Assignor prior to the Settlement Date on account of the interest assigned hereunder and that are due and payable to Assignee with respect thereto, to the extent that such interest, fee or other
charge relates to the period of time from and after the Settlement Date. 
 7.     This Assignment Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Assignment Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Assignment Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be 

 
equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Assignment Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Assignment Agreement by telefacsimile or
other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Assignment Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Assignment Agreement. 
 8.     THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING GOVERNING
LAW, SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND JURY TRIAL SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 12.14 THROUGH 12.16 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.  

9.     Each of the Assignor and the Assignee represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into
this Assignment Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Assignment Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Assignment Agreement, that this Assignment Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party
and that this Assignment Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 
 10.     Each of the
Assignor and the Assignee represents and warrants that the making and performance by it of this Assignment Agreement do not and will not violate any law or regulation of the jurisdiction of its organization or any other law or regulation applicable
to it. 
 11.     Each of the Assignor and the Assignee represents and warrants that all consents, licenses, approvals,
authorizations, exemptions, registrations, filings, opinions and declarations from or with any agency, department, administrative authority, statutory corporation or judicial entity necessary for the validity or enforceability of its obligations
under this Assignment Agreement have been obtained, and no governmental authorizations other than any already obtained are required in connection with its execution, delivery and performance of this Assignment Agreement.
