(a)Each Person set forth on Schedule I has been admitted as a Member, and Schedule I sets forth each Member’s Capital Contributions, Capital Commitment, Units, Ownership Percentage and Miner Maximum Contribution.

(b)Schedule I shall be amended by the Company following any Transfer as provided by Article IX or any issuance of additional Units or other equity interests of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. Schedule I shall be deemed Confidential Information and will not be publicly available or disclosed to any Person without the prior approval of the Board of Managers.

(c)Each Person designated for admission to the Company as an additional Member in accordance with this Agreement (other than in connection with a Transfer made in accordance with Article IX) shall contribute cash, other property (including securities) or services rendered in the amount and of the type designated by the Board of Managers, and Schedule I shall be amended at the time of each such additional Member’s admission as a Member by the Board of Managers to reflect such contribution.

3.2Capital Contributions.

(a)Subject to Section 3.3, each of the Cumulus Member and the TeraWulf Member hereby agrees to make capital contributions (i) at such times and in such amounts as set forth on Schedule I and Schedule II hereto (each Member’s “Capital Commitment”), (ii) to fund power and operational costs pursuant to Section 3.5 at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board of Managers, (iii) to fund expansion costs pursuant to Section 5.14, as applicable (“Expansion Capital Contributions”), and (iv) at such times and in such amounts as otherwise necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business as determined by the Board of Managers (the capital contributions described in clauses (i) - (iv), collectively, the “Capital Contributions”). Any Capital Contributions (A) pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will be made as provided in Section 3.5, (B) pursuant to clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence will be made as provided in Section 5.14 and (C) pursuant to clause (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence by the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Ownership Percentages (except in respect of any ongoing maintenance related expense costs for miners (whether capital or operating) which shall be funded based upon Miner Contribution Percentage).

​

15

(b)The Company shall issue a request for Capital Contributions (each, a “Capital Call Notice” and the Capital Contributions that are the subject of a Capital Call Notice, a “Capital Call”) to each Member (or in the case of Expansion Capital Contributions, to the Member that elected such expansion) not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such Capital Contributions are due (such date, the “Contribution Due Date”). The Capital Call Notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate amount of the Capital Call and each Member’s share thereof (depending on the purpose of the Capital Contribution, as described in Section 3.2(a)), (ii) the price at which Units, if any, are to be issued, (iii) the other material terms of the issuance, and (iv) the depositary institution and account into which such capital contributions are to be made, transferred or deposited. Except for Expansion Capital Contributions, no Member shall be obligated to make any such Capital Contributions. However, each Member shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to participate in each Capital Call in an amount up to its share (depending on the purpose of the Capital Contribution, as described in Section 3.2(a)) of such Capital Call by making a Capital Contribution.

(i)If a Member (a “Contributing Member”) intends to make a Capital Contribution in an amount up to its share of the aggregate amount of the Capital Call (such share being dependent upon the purpose of the Capital Contribution, as described in Section 3.2(a) or, in the case of a Capital Contribution in satisfaction of such Member’s Capital Commitment, in the amount required as specified on Schedule II) by the Contribution Due Date, such Member shall notify the Company of the amount such Contributing Member intends to contribute as a Capital Contribution (such amount not to exceed such Member’s proportionate share of such Capital Call) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Contribution Due Date.

(ii)If any Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”) elects not to make a Capital Contribution (such Non-Contributing Member’s unfunded Capital Call, the “Unfunded Amount”), each Contributing Member shall have the right, but not the obligation to, make a Capital Contribution in an amount up to such Contributing Member’s proportionate share (based on its Ownership Percentage calculated excluding that of the Non-Contributing Member) of the Unfunded Amount. If a Contributing Member contributes all or a portion of the Unfunded Amount, then the Members’ Ownership Percentages shall be adjusted as follows: The Contributing Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be increased to equal the quotient (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the Modified Capital Amount of the Contributing Member, divided by (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate Capital Commitment amount for all Members set forth on Schedule I hereto, plus (B) any Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) and Section 3.2(a)(iv) plus (C) the Unfunded Amount funded by such Contributing Member (for clarity, without duplication of any other amount in this subclause (ii)) (the “Contributing Member Adjusted Percentage”), and the Non-Contributing Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be decreased to equal the difference of (i) 100% minus (ii) the Contributing Member Adjusted Percentage.

(iii)If no Member elects to make a Capital Contribution in respect of the Unfunded Amount of any Capital Call duly issued pursuant to Section 3.2(b) (other than a Capital Call for an Expansion Capital Contribution to which this subsection (iii) shall not apply), the Board of Managers shall have the right, but not an obligation, no

​

16

later than sixty (60) days after the Contribution Due Date, (I) to issue Units to a Third Party in an amount up to that required to satisfy such Unfunded Amount, (II) to admit such Third Party as new Member of the Company, (III) to set such Third Party’s Ownership Percentage (and adjust the other Members’ Ownership Percentages) as if such Third Party was a Contributing Member that contributed all or a portion of the Unfunded Amount pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii) and, (IV) to otherwise treat such Third Party as a Contributing Member for purposes of Sections 3.2(c) through (e).

(c)Each Contributing Member shall deposit its Capital Contribution (including any Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii) above) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the designated depositary institution and account of the Company set forth in the Capital Call Notice on or prior to the Contribution Due Date.

(d)Upon receipt of any Capital Contribution, the Company shall promptly notify each Member in writing of the amount of each Capital Contribution, if any, made by each Member and the number of Units issued to such Member.

(e)All amounts, if any, paid to the Company by a Contributing Member as additional equity capital (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the initial capital contributions described in Section 3.1) shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by such Member for the purposes of this Agreement, and Schedule I shall be amended to reflect each such Capital Contribution.

(f)All proceeds received by the Company from the Cumulus Member in satisfaction of its Capital Commitment will be used in accordance with the provisions set forth on Schedule VI.

3.3Miner Maximum Contribution; MinerVa Miners.

(a)Each Member will be entitled to make contributions to the Company of the Miners set forth for such Member in Schedule I hereto, with such number of Miners that a Member is entitled to contribute at any time being subject to adjustment as zones within the Facility become operational to correspond to the product of (a) such Member’s Ownership Percentage, multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of Miners corresponding to the Facility’s operational digital mining capacity set forth for such zones in Schedule VIII (as updated over time based on operations of the Facility) or, if one or both Optional Capacity Elections are exercised, the number of Miners corresponding to the total operational digital mining capacity of the Company taking into account the exercise of the Optional Capacity Election(s) (each Member’s maximum Miner contribution, its “Miner Maximum Contribution”).

(b)The Members acknowledge and agree that the Company and TeraWulf Member have agreed to remove and provide to TeraWulf Member and the Company will within fourteen (14) days after the Effective Date cause to be removed and provided to TeraWulf Member (at TeraWulf Member’s sole expense), those [***] MinerVa miners that TeraWulf Member contributed to the Company or was deemed to have contributed to the Company. Such MinerVa miners will no longer be taken into account in respect of TeraWulf Member’s Miner Maximum

​

17

Contribution nor for any other purpose of this Agreement. TeraWulf Member shall have the right in its discretion to replace such MinerVa miners by contributing other Miners toward its Miner Maximum Contribution and such other Miners shall have the nameplate hash rate capacity as well as the nameplate power consumption capacity set forth in respect of such other Miners on Schedule III for the purpose of calculating TeraWulf Member’s Hash Rate Contribution and Power Consumption Allocation. The Members likewise acknowledge and agree that upon Cumulus Member’s reasonable request, which may be made at Cumulus Member’s discretion at any time and from time to time, the Company and Cumulus Member shall cause to be removed and provided to Cumulus Member, at Cumulus Member’s sole expense, those [***] MinerVa miners that Cumulus Member contributed to the Company or was deemed to have contributed to the Company. In the event that Cumulus Member so elects, such MinerVa miners will no longer be taken into account in respect of Cumulus Member’s Miner Maximum Contribution nor for any other purpose of this Agreement. In addition, Cumulus Member shall have the right in its discretion to replace such MinerVa miners by contributing other Miners toward its Miner Maximum Contribution and such other Miners shall have the nameplate hash rate capacity as well as the nameplate power consumption capacity set forth in respect of such other Miners on Schedule III for the purpose of calculating Cumulus Member’s Hash Rate Contribution and Power Consumption Allocation.

3.4No Interest in Company Property. A Member’s Units shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific Company property (including in respect of contributed miners).

3.5Responsibility for Power and Operational Costs.

(a)For each day, each Member shall be allocated a share of the Company’s actual power usage (determined in MWh) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total sub-metered actual power usage of the Company for such day (determined in MWh), multiplied by (ii) such Member’s Power Consumption Allocation for such day (such product of (i) and (ii) the “Member Power Consumption Allocation”).

(b)Subject to Section 3.5(d), in respect of the first 100 MWs of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption during any day, each Member shall be responsible for the cost of such power in an amount equal to (i) the product of (I) its Member Power Consumption Allocation, multiplied by (II) the actual cost to the Company pursuant to the Energy Supply Agreement (determined on per MWh basis) of the first 100 MW of electric power sub-metered by the Company under the Energy Supply Agreement, plus (ii) any tax allocable to the amount determined in (II). The members intend to review the Member Power Consumption Allocation methodology within six months after the Effective Date to either confirm the methodology or determine whether it needs to be revised or adjusted.

(c)At the request of Cumulus Member and funded solely by Cumulus Member, the Company shall obtain up to an additional 100 MW of electric power from the lessor under the Lease at the cost for such electric power determined in accordance with the pricing methodology set forth in the Lease (it being acknowledged that 50 MW of such 100 MW was requested and obtained on March 13, 2023). Subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.5(d), in respect of any Actual Hourly MWh Consumption in excess of 100 MWs but equal to

​

18

or less than 200 MWs during any day, Cumulus Member shall be solely responsible for the cost of such power in an amount equal to (i) the product of (I) its Member Power Consumption Allocation (in excess of the first 50 MWs of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption allocated thereto), and (II) the negotiated cost to the Company pursuant to the Lease (determined on per MWh basis) of such excess MWs of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption sub-metered by the Company, plus (ii) any tax allocable to the amount determined in (II). In no event shall the Company obtain an aggregate amount of electric power in excess of 200 MW pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.5(c).

(d)Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.5(b) to the contrary, the Members acknowledge and agree that TeraWulf Member’s share of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption during any day is not intended to exceed 50 MWs and, so long as TeraWulf Member’s share of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption does not exceed 50 MW during any day, TeraWulf Member’s cost of such power shall not exceed (i) the product of (I) its Member Power Consumption Allocation, multiplied by (II) the actual cost to the Company pursuant to the Energy Supply Agreement (determined on per MWh basis) of the first 100 MW of electric power sub-metered by the Company under the Energy Supply Agreement, plus (ii) any tax allocable to the amount determined in (II). The Members additionally acknowledge and agree that, to the extent TeraWulf Member’s share of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption during any day is less than 50 MWs, Cumulus Member shall be entitled in respect of all Actual Hourly MWh Consumption in excess of the TeraWulf Member’s Actual Hourly MWh Consumption up to and including 100 MWs of Actual Hourly MWh Consumption, to the benefit of the average cost to the Company pursuant to the Energy Supply Agreement (determined on per MWh basis) for the first 100 MW of electric power sub-metered by the Company under the Energy Supply Agreement. In the event that the Actual Hourly MWh Consumption for TeraWulf Member exceeds 50 MW during any day, the cost of such incremental electric power to TeraWulf Member shall be determined based on the formula set forth in Section 3.5(c).

(e)The Members intend that any electric power capacity added to the Facility pursuant to an Optional Capacity Election under Section 5.14, will be separately sub-metered to that building or portion of a building at the Facility where the Miners to be added in connection with such Optional Capacity Election will be installed. The Members acknowledge and agree that the allocation of each Member’s share of the Company’s actual power usage (determined in MWh) by the Miners related to the any Optional Capacity Election shall be similar to the Member Power Consumption Allocation but reserve the right to finalize such power consumption allocation and each Member’s cost for its share of the Optional Capacity substantially contemporaneously in time with such Optional Capacity Election.

(f)From and after the Effective Date, all operational costs of the Company (except for power) will be borne by the Members pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective Ownership Percentages.

(g)If and to the extent the Company is required to pay “Energy Capacity Additional Rent” (as such term is defined in the Lease), the cost of such Energy Capacity Additional Rent shall be allocated to the Cumulus Member if the TeraWulf Member’s Actual Hourly MWh Consumption for the Monthly Period is greater than or equal to 47.5 MW multiplied by the number of hours in such Monthly Period. If the TeraWulf Member’s Actual

​

19

Hourly MWh Consumption for the Monthly is less than 47.5 MW multiplied by the number of hours in such Monthly Period, the TeraWulf Member will be responsible for the product of (i) 47.5 MW multiplied by the number of hours in such Monthly Period, minus, the number of TeraWulf Member’s Actual Hourly MWh Consumption during such Monthly Period, multiplied by (ii) the amount of the Energy Capacity Additional Rent (i.e., $[***]/MWh during the Initial Term).

(h)The Members expressly agree to use reasonable efforts to mutually develop and agree upon a set of procedures for the curtailment of the Company’s power consumption that results in no economic disadvantage to either Member’s Power Consumption Allocation and/or Hash Rate Contribution.

3.6Distributions.

(a)No Member shall be entitled to receive any distributions from the Company except as provided in this Agreement. Except as prohibited by the terms of any contract binding on the Company or applicable law, the Company shall distribute to each Member such Member’s Available Bitcoin on each Distribution Date.

(b)All distributions pursuant to this Section ‎3.6 shall be paid solely in Bitcoin and no Member has any right to demand or receive property other than Bitcoin.

(c)Notwithstanding Section 3.6(b) above, in connection with any distribution actually paid to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, any Member may direct the Custodian to convert the Bitcoin distributed to such Member to any fiat currency on behalf of such Member (and not on behalf of the Company); provided, however, such Member shall be solely liable for all costs, fees, taxes and expenses incurred as a result of such conversion.

3.7Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section ‎3.6, but without duplication thereof, the Company shall, to the extent the Company has Bitcoin or cash available to do so, make advances of Bitcoin (or, if available, cash) to the Members at such times and in amounts intended to allow the Members to satisfy their respective Tax Amounts, which distributions shall be made to the Members pro rata in accordance with such Tax Amounts (such advances, “Tax Distributions”). Tax Distributions shall be treated as non-interest-bearing advances recoverable solely from future distributions pursuant to Section ‎3.6(b) (including by reason of the application of Section ‎11.2(c)).

3.8Member Tax Liabilities.

(a)To the extent the Board of Managers reasonably determines that the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (including with respect to Entity Taxes) (any such amounts, “Member Tax Liabilities”), the Company may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.

(b)All Member Tax Liabilities paid on behalf of a Member (other than by way of withholding) shall, at the option of the applicable Member, be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such Member Tax Liabilities were paid or be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions (including

​

20

Tax Distributions) which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. All Member Tax Liabilities (whether repaid by the Member or recovered by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions or proceeds of liquidation) shall be repaid with interest on the Member Tax Liabilities at the lesser of (A) the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum from the date of the payment of the Member Tax Liabilities and (B) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(c)Whenever the Board of Managers reduces distributions otherwise payable to a Member pursuant to Section 3.8(b) or Member Tax Liabilities are paid by way of withholding, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member may be treated as having received all distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such Member Tax Liabilities.

(d)Unless otherwise agreed to by the Board of Managers in writing, each Member shall reimburse and hold harmless the Company and the Board of Managers from and against any liability with respect to such Member’s Member Tax Liabilities, except to the extent resulting from gross negligence of the Company or the Board of Managers. To the extent that any Member Tax Liability relates to a former Member that has withdrawn, been withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or otherwise Transferred all or a part of its Units, such former Member (which in the case of a partial withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other Transfer shall include a continuing Member with respect to the portion of its Units so withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or otherwise Transferred) shall indemnify the Company for its allocable portion of such liability (and the Transferee Member’s liability for any amounts payable under this Section 3.8 shall be reduced accordingly), unless otherwise agreed to by the Board of Managers and the Transferee Member in writing. Each Member acknowledges that, notwithstanding its withdrawal or the sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other Transfer of all or any portion of its Units, it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section 3.8, for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Company for the Company’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other Transfer, as applicable.

3.9Capital Accounts.

(a)Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain a “Capital Account” for each Member on the books of the Company. The opening balance of each Member’s Capital Account shall be equal to the amount of such Member’s initial Capital Contribution to the Company. Such Member’s Capital Account shall thereafter be adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)Such Member’s Capital Account shall be credited (x) the amount of any subsequent capital contributions (as determined for applicable tax capital accounting purposes) made by such Member to the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Power Capital Contributions), (y) such Member’s allocable share of Net Income and other items of income or gain allocated to such Member in accordance with Sections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13, and (z) Company liabilities, if any, assumed by

​

21

such Member or secured, in whole or in part, by any Company property that is distributed to such Member; and

(ii)Such Member’s Capital Account shall be debited (x) the amount of cash and the Fair Value of any Company property distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (net of any liabilities secured by such property), (y) such Member’s allocable share of Net Loss and other items of loss, deduction, or expense allocated to such Member in accordance with Sections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13, and (z) liabilities, if any, of such Member assumed by the Company.

(b)Power Capital Contributions. With respect to deliveries of power to the Company under the Energy Supply Agreement, the Members agree that such deliveries will be treated as, (i) in part, a sale of electric power to the Company and (ii) in part, as a capital contribution (but, for clarity, not a Capital Contribution) to the Company by the Cumulus Member, in accordance with Schedule IV. The parties agree and acknowledge that the value of such deemed capital contributions for Capital Account purposes will be determined in accordance with Schedule IV (such deemed contributed amounts, “Power Capital Contributions”). The aggregate amount of Power Capital Contributions that are made, or deemed made, pursuant to this Section 3.9(b) shall be equal, with respect to each applicable tax and accounting period, to the amount of amortization in respect of the Energy Supply Agreement that is allocated to the Cumulus Member pursuant to Section 3.10(a), such that (solely in respect of such Power Capital Contributions) (x) the Capital Account balance of the Cumulus Member is intended to remain unchanged solely as a result of the Power Capital Contributions and the amortization of the Energy Supply Agreement allocated to the Cumulus Member (i.e., in respect of each applicable tax and accounting period, the Power Capital Contributions and the amortization of the Energy Supply Agreement entirely offset each other) and (y) the outside tax basis of the Cumulus Member in its interest in the Company shall increase by an amount equal to the cost basis of the power actually contributed to the Company at the time power is actually delivered under the Energy Supply Agreement (which amount shall correspond to the Company’s basis in the power delivered by the Cumulus Member).

(c)General. The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. In the event the Board of Managers shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such regulations, the Board of Managers may, without approval of the Members, make such modification; provided that such modification shall not have a material adverse effect on the interests of, or amounts distributable to, any Member.

3.10Allocations Generally.

(a)All items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company attributable to the Energy Supply Agreement (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any power delivered thereunder) shall be allocated to the Cumulus Member. For purposes of determining the amount of amortization deductions in respect of the Energy Supply Agreement, the Members agree to utilize the amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule V. The Members hereby

​

22

acknowledge agreement that such method of amortization is a “reasonable method” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(3)) for purposes of determining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions in respect of the Energy Supply Agreement.

(b)Net Income and Net Losses (or items thereof) shall, for each Fiscal Year, be allocated among the Members in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the economic provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.6, Section 5.14, and Section 11.2, which the Members acknowledge and agree reflect, in the aggregate, the “partner’s interests in the partnership” within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)At least thirty (30) days prior to finalizing the allocations under this Section 3.10 or Section 3.11, Section 3.12 and Section 3.13 for each Fiscal Year, the Cumulus Member shall provide a draft of such allocations to the TeraWulf Member and shall reasonably consider (and to the extent accepted, reasonably incorporate) the reasonable comments of the TeraWulf Member with respect thereto.

3.11Allocations for Federal Income Tax Purposes.

(a)The distributive share of a Member of each specific item of income, gain, deduction, loss, and credit of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any Fiscal Year shall be determined as follows:

(i)except as otherwise provided herein, in the same manner in which such item has been allocated to such Member’s Capital Account;

(ii)with respect to any property (other than the Energy Supply Agreement and the electric energy delivered to the Company pursuant thereto) that has a fair market value not equal to its adjusted tax basis on the date on which the Company issues any interest in the Company in respect of the contribution of such property, to and among the Members in accordance with a methodology chosen by the Board of Managers, consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder; and

(iii)with respect to the Energy Supply Agreement, which was contributed to the Company by the Cumulus Member with a zero tax basis (and the electricity delivered to the Company pursuant thereto, as applicable), to and among the Members in accordance with a methodology chosen by the Board of Managers and consented to by the Cumulus Member, consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b)Any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or allowance allocated in accordance with this Section 3.11 shall be solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and shall neither result in any adjustment to the Capital Accounts of the Members nor determine their respective allocations of any Net Income or Net Loss.

​

23

(c)The provisions of this Section 3.11 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-3 and with the principles of Sections 704(c) and 737 of the Code. The Board of Managers may amend the provisions of this Section 3.11 as may become necessary as a result of any amendment to Subchapter K of the Code or any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; provided that such modification shall not have a material adverse effect on the interests of, or amounts distributable to, any Member; provided, further, that Section 3.11(a)(iii) shall not be amended without the consent of the Cumulus Member.

3.12Regulatory Allocations.

(a)Qualified Income Offset. If a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) in any fiscal period, and as a result would, but for this Section 3.12 have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as of the last day of such fiscal period, which deficit balance is in excess of the amount (if any) such Member is obligated to restore (whether under this Agreement or otherwise, and including for this purpose, without limitation, such Member’s exposure with respect to debt or other obligations or liabilities of the Company), then items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) for such fiscal period (and, if necessary, for subsequent fiscal periods) shall be specially allocated to such Member notwithstanding Section 3.10 in the amount and in the proportions required to eliminate such excess as quickly as possible. For purposes of this Section 3.12, a Member’s Capital Account shall be computed as of the last day of a fiscal period in the manner provided in Section 3.10.

(b)Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal period shall be allocated among the Members in a manner determined by the Board of Managers consistent with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b) and 1.704-2(c).

(c)Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 3.12(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d)Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(1).

​

24

(e)Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.704­ 2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.704­ 2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 3.12(e) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

3.13Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 3.12 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations section 1.704-1(b). The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the intended allocations of Net Income and Net Loss otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article III, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, the Board of Managers shall be permitted to reallocate items of income, gain, deduction, and loss among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby to cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Income and Net Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Income and Net Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction and loss, but excluding any amounts allocated or allocable under Section 3.10(a)) among the Members so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. The Board of Managers shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner; provided that such modification shall not have a material adverse effect on the interests of, or amounts distributable to, any Member.

3.14Adjustments of Capital Accounts. If so determined by the Board of Managers, the Capital Accounts of the Members (and, as applicable, the Carrying Value of the Company’s assets) may be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and thereafter maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), to reflect the Fair Value of Company assets at the following times: (i) immediately prior to the contribution of more than a de minimis amount of money or other property to the Company by a new or existing Member as consideration for an interest in the Company; (ii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); (iii) in connection with and at the time of a grant of an interest in the Company (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an existing Member acting in a Member capacity or by a new Member acting in a Member capacity or in anticipation of becoming a Member; and (iv) in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) in the case of a distribution of more than a de minimis amount of

​

25

property (other than cash).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Board of Managers shall not make adjustments in accordance with this Section 3.14 in connection with ordinary course distributions under Section 3.6 or Section 3.7.

3.15Tax Matters.

(a)Company Representation in Tax Matters.

(i)The Cumulus Member is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” for the Company under Internal Revenue Code Section 6223 (and any comparable provisions of state or local tax law). The Cumulus Member is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever steps the Cumulus Member deems necessary or desirable to perfect any such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the Internal Revenue Service and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Treasury Regulations, and the Members agree to take actions reasonably requested by the Cumulus Member in connection with the Cumulus Member’s appointment as the “partnership representative”. The Cumulus Member shall by entitled to appoint a “designated individual” for each taxable year (as described in Treasury Regulations section 301.6223-1(b)(3)(ii)), who shall be an Affiliate of the Cumulus Member (or an officer thereof) and the Members agree to take actions reasonably requested by the Cumulus Member in connection with the Cumulus Member’s designation of a “designated individual.” The Company Representative shall be authorized to take any and all actions under the BBA Audit Rules (and any comparable provisions of state or local tax law) (including making or revoking the election referred to in Section 6226 of the Code under the BBA Audit Rules) and in respect of Company tax matters and shall have any powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity. The Board of Managers shall (or shall cause the Company Representative to) keep the Members informed of any Tax Contests and any election described in the preceding sentence. In respect of any material tax matter, the Company Representative’s authority shall be exercised in consultation with the Special Tax Committee, and, in the case of any tax matter that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse impact on the TeraWulf Member, with the consent of the TeraWulf Member, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company Representative shall not settle, compromise or concede any Tax Contest without the consent of the TeraWulf Member (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Board of Managers shall promptly notify the Members of the identity of the Company Representative if a Person other than the Cumulus Member is designated as the Company Representative.

(ii)Any Member or former Member that is in dispute with any tax authority in relation to a matter relating to the Company shall notify the Company Representative within 30 days and, if the Company Representative reasonably determines that the matter is of material relevance to the tax position of the Company and notifies such Member of such determination, such Member shall consult with the Company Representative (or any advisor appointed by the Company Representative for the purpose) as to how that dispute is to be handled. Any Member or former Member that enters into a settlement agreement with respect to any Company item shall notify the

​

26

Board of Managers of such settlement agreement and its terms within 30 days after the date of settlement. Each Member shall reasonably cooperate with the Company Representative in connection with any tax audit of the Company.

(iii)The Company Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce any “imputed underpayments” to which the Company may be subject by taking into account the tax status of the Members, to the extent the Company Representative has actual knowledge of such status, in connection with the determination of such “imputed underpayments” to the extent permitted by applicable law. If any Entity Taxes are imposed on or otherwise payable by the Company, the Company Representative shall allocate among the Members (including former Members) such Entity Taxes in a manner it determines to be fair and equitable, taking into account any modifications attributable to a Member pursuant to the BBA Rules (if applicable); provided, that if any such allocation is not in accordance with the Members’ Ownership Percentages for the tax period in which such Entity Taxes arise, such allocation shall be subject to the consent of each of the Cumulus Member and the TeraWulf Member, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company incurs any liability for taxes, interest, or penalties under (or in connection with) Section 6225 of the Code, or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law, then the Company Representative may cause the Members (including any former Member) to whom such liability relates, as determined by the Company Representative in accordance with this Section 3.15(a)(iii), to pay, and each such Member (including any former Member) hereby agrees to pay, such amount to the Company, and any such amount shall not be treated as a contribution of capital to the Company.

(iv)Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Company Representative shall be permitted, but not required, to take any actions to reduce or avoid Entity Taxes being imposed on the Company. In connection with any decision by the Company Representative regarding whether to make the election described in Section 6226 of the Code, the Company Representative shall take into consideration the relative costs and the tax consequences to the Company and Members of making or not making such election. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members shall not be required to amend any tax return in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code or any similar state or local law.

(v)The Company Representative shall have the authority to select the Company’s tax advisors. All reasonable and documented third-party expenses incurred in connection with the retention of such advisors shall be treated as expenses of the Company, which shall be paid by the Company or promptly reimbursed to the Company Representative upon the Company’s receipt of a request for reimbursement, provided, that, in the event any such expenses exceed the amounts set forth therefor in the Annual Budget, such expenses shall be subject to consent of the Special Tax Committee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(vi)The obligations of each Member or former Member under this Section 3.15 shall survive the transfer by a Member, or redemption of a Member’s Units.

​

27

(b)Tax Information. Each Member shall provide the Company with any information that may be reasonably requested by the Board of Managers required for the compliance by the Company with applicable tax laws, the filing of any tax return with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or any tax election with respect to the Company, including in connection with any election under Section 754 of the Code or to facilitate compliance with Section 743 of the Code. Each Member shall upon reasonable request supply the information necessary to properly give effect to any elections described in Section 3.15(a) or to otherwise enable the Board of Managers and the Company to implement the provisions of this Section 3.15 (including filing tax returns, defending Tax Contests, reducing Member Tax Liabilities and conducting tax planning for the Company).

(c)Classification as a Partnership. The parties hereto intend the Company to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local tax purposes effective as of the Formation Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers, with the consent of the TeraWulf Member, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company Representative shall take (or refrain from taking) such actions as may be necessary to receive and maintain such treatment and refrain from taking any actions inconsistent therewith. Each Member shall reasonably cooperate with the Board of Managers, or the Company Representative, as applicable, and the Company in connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.15(c).

(d)Consistent Positions. Except as otherwise required pursuant to a final determination made by a competent Governmental Authority, each Member shall report any and all items of Company income, gain, deduction, loss and credit and any other Company tax related items or treatment in a manner consistent with the Company’s income tax return with respect to such items.

(e)Tax Forms. If requested by the Board of Managers, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Company an IRS Form W-9 and shall promptly notify the Board of Managers if, at any time, such Member expects that it would not be able to provide the Company with an IRS Form W-9. Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by such Member pursuant to this Section 3.15(e) shall be true and accurate and, unless otherwise agreed by the Board of Managers in writing, shall reimburse and hold harmless the Company and each of the Members from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms.

ARTICLE IV

4.1Units. As of the Effective Date, the ownership interests in the Company shall consist of Units. For all purposes of this Agreement, each Member shall be deemed to own a number of Units such that the relative ownership of Units by the Members at all times equals their respective Ownership Percentages (i.e., a Member shall own 1 Unit for every one percent of its Ownership Interest). The aggregate Ownership Percentages of all Members shall at all times equal one hundred percent (100%).

​

4.2Designation of Units. The Board of Managers shall have the power to designate the ownership interests in the Company to be issued after the Effective Date into one or more classes and/or series of Units and to fix for such class or series such economic rights, voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such distinctive designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the properly approved resolution or resolutions of the Board of Managers providing for such designation, and such resolution or resolutions of the Board of Managers shall set forth such amendments to this Agreement as shall be necessary or reasonable in the sole judgment of the Board of Managers to effect such resolution and subject to Sections 6.9 and 12.4, such amendments shall be binding upon all of the Members of the Company upon a properly adopted resolution by the Board of Managers.

4.3Issuance of Units; Register; Transfer. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Board of Managers may issue Units from time to time in such portions of the entire interests in the Company as the Board of Managers shall properly approve, either for cash, services, securities, property or other value, or in exchange for other Units, and at such price and upon such terms as the Board of Managers may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, determine. The Board of Managers may (a) provide that a register of holders of any or all Units shall be kept and (b) may appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, all in accordance with such rules, regulations and procedures as the Board of Managers may determine.

4.4Certificates. The Units shall be uncertificated and issued solely in book entry form; provided, however, that the Company may, upon the direction of the Board of Managers, issue certificates of limited liability company interests evidencing some or all of the Units. Each certificate evidencing any Unit, if any, shall bear such appropriate legend indicating the existence of this Agreement and the restrictions on Transfer contained herein and imposed by applicable law.

4.5Applicability of Article 8. The Members hereby specify, acknowledge and agree that all Units (and the limited liability company interests represented by the thereby) shall be securities governed by Article 8 and all other provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, and pursuant to the terms of Section 8-103(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, such interests shall be “securities” for all purposes under such Article 8 and for all other purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE V

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

5.1Management and Control of the Company. The management, operation and control of the business and affairs of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Board of Managers. Subject to Section 5.8, the Board of Managers shall have full and complete power, authority and discretion for, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, to enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objects and purposes of the Company. A Manager acting individually, in his or her capacity as such, will not have the power to bind the Company. The power and authority of the Board of Managers may be delegated by the Board of Managers, (i) to a committee of the Board of Managers or (ii) to any Officer in accordance with Section 5.9. As of the Original

​

29

Effective Date, the Board of Managers has established a special tax committee (the “Special Tax Committee”), which consists of one TeraWulf Manager and one Cumulus Manager, and shall be consulted as required by Section 3.15.

5.2Members Shall Not Manage or Control. The Members, other than as they may act by and through the Board of Managers, shall take no part in the management of the business and affairs of the Company and shall transact no business for the Company, in each case, other than as specifically delegated by the Board of Managers.

5.3Board of Managers.

(a)As of the Effective Date, the Board of Managers shall consist of five (5) Managers, one (1) of whom shall be TeraWulf Managers (as defined below) and four (4) of whom shall be Cumulus Managers (as defined below). A Member shall be entitled to designate one Manager for every [***]% Ownership Percentage held by such Member. For example, a Member holding a [***]% Ownership Percentage shall be entitled to designate two Managers, a Member holding a [***]% Ownership Percentage shall be entitled to designate one Manager, and a Member holding a [***]% Ownership Percentage shall not be entitled to designate any Managers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the TeraWulf Member shall be entitled to appoint one (1) Manager so long as it continues to hold a [***] percent ([***]%) Ownership Percentage. The TeraWulf Managers as of the Effective Date shall be [***]. The Cumulus Managers as of the Effective Date shall be, [***], and a fourth Cumulus Manager to be designated by Cumulus Member at its convenience. The Executive Chairman of the Board of Managers (the “Executive Chairman”) shall be a Cumulus Manager, and initially [***]. The Executive Chairman shall at all times be designated by the Cumulus Member and may not be removed without consent of the Cumulus Member.

(b)Each person appointed to be a Manager will serve in that capacity until such Manager’s death, resignation or removal or until the Member entitled to appoint a successor to that Manager does so. Any Manager may be removed at any time, with or without cause, solely by the Member who appointed such Manager. If, due to a change in Ownership Percentages, a Member is no longer entitled to designate a Manager or Managers to the Board of Managers, such Manager or Managers shall automatically be removed from the Board of Managers without any further action required of such Manager, the Board of Managers or any Member. Any Manager may resign at any time by so notifying the Executive Chairman in writing. Such resignation shall take effect upon receipt of such notice by the Executive Chairman or at such later time as is therein specified, and, unless otherwise specified, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any vacancy shall be filled by, upon the direction of, and as designated by the Member entitled to appoint a Manager to such vacant seat. No vacancy on the Board of Managers shall prevent the operation and functioning of the Board of Managers subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

5.4Meetings of the Board of Managers.

Special meetings of the Board of Managers may be called at any time by any one (1) Manager. Written notice shall be required with respect to any meeting of the Board of Managers, and written notice of any special meetings shall specify the purpose of the

​

30

special meeting.  Unless waived by all of the Managers then in office in writing (before, during or after a meeting) or with respect to any Manager at such meeting, prior notice of any regular or special meeting (including reconvening a meeting following any adjournments or postponements thereof) shall be given to each Manager then in office at least one (1) Business Day before the date of such meeting.  Notice of any meeting need not be given to any Manager then in office who shall submit, either before, during or after such meeting, a signed waiver of notice.  Attendance of a Manager at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Manager attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning thereof to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not properly noticed, called or convened.

5.5Quorum and Voting.

(a)Subject to the provisions of any applicable law with respect to conflict of interests, on each matter submitted to the Board of Managers, any committee of the Board of Managers or any subcommittee of any committee of the Board of Managers, each Manager shall have one vote per Manager.

(b)In addition to any requirements under this Agreement and the Act, the presence of at least a majority of the Board of Managers and, for so long as TeraWulf Member is otherwise entitled to appoint a Manager to the Board of Managers, at least one (1) TeraWulf Manager shall be necessary in order for a quorum to be obtained at any meeting of the Board of Managers, any committee of the Board of Managers or any subcommittee thereof; provided, that if no TeraWulf Manager is present for a meeting duly called pursuant to a written notice to each of the Managers in accordance with Section 5.4, then a majority of the Board of Managers without a TeraWulf Manager shall constitute a quorum for the next meeting called for the same purpose (so long as there is at least forty eight (48) hours between such meetings). Each matter submitted to the Board of Managers, any committee of the Board of Managers or any subcommittee thereof shall require, in addition to any vote required by this Agreement and the Act, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Board of Managers then in office; provided that any Special Consent Matter (as defined below) shall require the affirmative vote of all TeraWulf Managers and Cumulus Managers; provided further that in the event that any Manager abstains or recuses himself or herself from voting on any matter due to a conflict of interests, such matter shall require the affirmative vote at least a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Managers (and in the case of a Special Consent Matter, the affirmative vote of all disinterested Managers). Any meeting purported to be held and any action purported to be taken in violation of this Section 5.5(b) shall be void ab initio.

(c)Subject to Section 5.5(e), no Manager shall be disqualified from acting on any matter because such Manager, or the Member that appointed such Manager, if applicable, is interested in the matter to be acted upon by the Board of Managers so long as all material aspects of such matter have been disclosed in reasonable detail to all Managers who are to act on such matter.

(d)As used in this Section 5.5 the terms “TeraWulf Manager” and “Cumulus Manager”, shall mean, respectively, any Manager who, at the time of his or her election or appointment to the Board of Managers or at any time thereafter, has been expressly

designated as such by the TeraWulf Member or the Cumulus Member, as applicable, in a written instrument delivered to the Company and whose designation as such shall not have been revoked or withdrawn by the TeraWulf Member or the Cumulus Member, as applicable, in a written instrument delivered to the Board of Managers.

(i)any changes in the lines of business in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged in as of the Effective Date other than reasonable expansions and extensions thereof;

(iii)the making of any election or the taking of any action inconsistent with the Company’s classification as a partnership for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, tax purposes;

(iv)any Capital Call pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iv) (A) after July 15, 2023, or (B) prior to July 15, 2023, that, together with prior Capital Calls from and after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i), would require aggregate Capital Contributions that exceed the aggregate Capital Commitments by $[***];

(v)any incurrence of indebtedness in excess of $[***];

(vi)any increase in the year-over-year Annual Budget of the Company (annualized in the case of an Annual Budget for any partial year) of more than [***]%, provided that if this Special Consent Matter is not approved in accordance with this Section 5.5(e) the Cumulus Member may, in its sole discretion, elect to fund the Annual Budget costs in excess of the [***]% increase;

(vii)establishing any management incentive plan of the Company;

(viii)the determination of Fair Value of any in-kind contribution to the Company;

(ix)any change in the Company’s jurisdiction of organization;

​

32

(x)any entry of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into, or amendment, modification or termination of any agreement or arrangement providing for aggregate payouts to or from the Company or its Subsidiaries that are equal to or greater than [***]% of the then-effective Annual Budget and that are not contemplated by the then-effective Annual Budget;

(xi)any termination, dissolution or liquidation of the Company (A) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date and (B) following the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Member that does not have the right to appoint a majority of the Board of Managers owns less than an Ownership Percentage equal to [***]%;

(xii)changing or modifying the definition of “Bitcoin” in this Agreement; or

(xiii)any agreement or commitment to take any actions in items (i) through (xi) above.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the matters set forth in Section 5.5(e) shall cease to be Special Consent Matters with respect to any Member (and solely with respect to such Member) who has an Ownership Percentage of less than [***]%.

5.6Procedural Matters of the Board of Managers.

(a)Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Managers (or any committee thereof) may be taken without a meeting if (i) the number of Managers needed to take action at such meeting consent in writing (which may be by e-mail) to such action and (ii) for so long as TeraWulf Member is otherwise entitled to appoint a Manager to the Board of Managers, at least one (1) TeraWulf Manager consents in writing (which may be by e-mail or electronic signature) to such action. Such consent shall have the same effect as a vote of the Board of Managers.

(b)The Board of Managers (and each committee thereof) shall cause to be kept a book of minutes of all of its actions by written consent and in which there shall be recorded with respect to each meeting of the Board of Managers (or any committee thereof) the time and place of such meeting, whether regular or special (and if special, how called), the names of those present and the proceedings thereof.

(c)Managers may attend and participate in a meeting of the Board of Managers (or any committee thereof) by conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Meetings of the Board of Managers shall be on not less than 24 hours’ notice, unless waived by all members of the Board of Managers.

(d)At each meeting of the Board of Managers, the Executive Chairman shall preside and, in his or her absence, Managers holding a majority of the votes present may appoint any member of the Board of Managers to preside at such meeting. The secretary (or such other person as shall be designated by the Board of Managers) shall act as secretary at each meeting of

​

33

the Board of Managers. In case the secretary shall be absent from any meeting of the Board of Managers, an assistant secretary shall perform the duties of secretary at such meeting or the person presiding at the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(e)The Board of Managers may, by majority vote, designate one or more committees to take any action that may be taken hereunder by the Board of Managers, which committees shall take actions under such procedures (not inconsistent with this Agreement) as shall be designated by it.

5.7Deadlock Matters.

(a)Prior to the earlier of the commencement of mining of Bitcoin by the Company at the Facility and the Initial Public Offering, if the Board of Managers becomes deadlocked with respect to the approval of any Special Consent Matter (each, a “Disputed Issue”), then the Board of Managers shall cause the Disputed Issue to be referred to a designated senior management member of each Member, who initially shall be [***] with respect to the TeraWulf Member and [***] with respect to the Cumulus Member (each, a “Member Executive”), it being understood and agreed that each of the TeraWulf Member and the Cumulus Member may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, designate a new Member Executive to represent such Member. Promptly following any such referral, the Member Executives shall meet, confer and discuss in person or by telephone conference the Disputed Issue in a good faith attempt to resolve such Disputed Issue. If the Member Executives are not able to resolve the Disputed Issue within five (5) days after the referral to them of the Disputed Issue, then the Disputed Issue shall be deemed to have not been approved by the Board of Managers. Upon resolution of a Disputed Issue by the Member Executives, the Member Executives shall give joint written notice of such resolution to the Board of Managers and the Board of Managers shall approve such resolution as set forth in such written notice.

(b)Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall continue to operate during any period of deadlock with respect to a Disputed Issue, and in no event shall any deadlock interfere with the right of the Board of Managers and the Officers to operate the Company; provided, however, that no action may be knowingly taken by the Board of Managers or the Officers that would, or would be reasonably likely to, prejudice the outcome of any matter in deadlock, except with approval of the Board of Managers.

5.8Related Party Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, any decision on behalf of the Company relating to any dispute or the resolution or settlement with respect to a Related Party Transaction shall be controlled by the Member(s) that is not (or whose Affiliates are not) party to such Related Party Transaction and such Member(s) shall make all decisions with respect to enforcement of such Related Party Transaction on behalf of the Company during any dispute resolutions proceedings related thereto.

5.14Optional Capacity.

(a)At any time before the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Original Effective Date, the Company shall, subject to Section 5.14(b), upon the election of the TeraWulf Member, elect to expand the energy requirement of the Facility in excess of 200MW by up to 50 MW (or such lesser amount determined by the TeraWulf Member) (the “TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election”). If the TeraWulf Member exercises the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, then the Company shall take all reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit such expansion, and the TeraWulf Member shall be responsible for all third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such expansion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the costs of any network upgrade, substation upgrade or other infrastructure upgrade necessary or advisable in accordance with the Prudent Industry Standard, including any such expenses incurred in connection with the Lease and any extension of the Lease term, plus, to the extent that the TeraWulf Member has not, as of such time, funded the entire amount of its Capital Commitment as set forth on Schedule II (such shortfall, the “Capital Commitment Shortfall”), and the Cumulus Member funded such Capital Commitment Shortfall, the difference between the cost per kilowatt to expand the energy requirement of the Facility associated with the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election and the $[***]/kilowatt average cost of the original Facility (but only to the extent that $[***]/kilowatt exceeds such cost) multiplied by the number of kilowatts funded by Cumulus based on $[***]/kilowatt as a result of its contribution of the Capital Commitment Shortfall (which amount shall be paid by the TeraWulf Member in cash to the Cumulus Member)) and, upon such exercise, the Company shall promptly issue one or more Capital Calls to the TeraWulf Member to fund such costs; provided, that upon completion of construction of the facility to be constructed to accommodate the additional capacity pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, and the commencement of commercial operation of Miners by or on behalf of the TeraWulf Member at such facility (collectively, the “TeraWulf Optional Capacity Adjustment Date”), the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be adjusted to equal the fraction (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the sum of (I) the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage immediately prior to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Adjustment Date multiplied by 200 plus (II) the amount of MWs elected by the TeraWulf Member to be received pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election (which shall in no event be greater than 50), over (ii) the sum of (I) 200 plus (II) the amount of MWs elected by the TeraWulf Member to be received pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election (which shall in no event be greater than 50), and the Cumulus Member’s Ownership Percentage shall equal (A) 100 minus (B) the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage derived from the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes only of determining any amounts to be distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii) following contributions contemplated by the Capital Calls to fund the costs of such expansion and prior to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Adjustment Date, the adjustment of the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be deemed to have occurred at the time of the contribution of the amounts contemplated by such Capital Calls. The facility constructed to accommodate the additional capacity pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election shall be a similar design in all material respects to the design of the Facility immediately prior to such election, based on the performance of such facility. The Cumulus Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, within twelve (12) months following the exercise by the TeraWulf Member of the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, to elect to expand the energy requirement of the Facility by up to 50 MW (or such lesser amount determined by the Cumulus Member) (the “Cumulus Optional Capacity

​

37

Election” and together with the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, the “Optional Capacity Elections”). If the Cumulus Member exercises the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election, then the Cumulus Member shall be responsible for all third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such expansion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the costs of any network upgrade, substation upgrade or other infrastructure upgrade necessary or advisable in accordance with the Prudent Industry Standard, including any such expenses incurred in connection with the Lease and any extension of the Lease term) and, upon such exercise, the Company shall promptly issue one or more Capital Calls to the Cumulus Member to fund such costs; provided, that upon completion of construction of the facility to be constructed to accommodate the additional capacity pursuant to the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election, and the commencement of commercial operation of Miners by or on behalf of the Cumulus Member at such facility (collectively, the “Cumulus Optional Capacity Adjustment Date”), the Cumulus Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be adjusted to equal the fraction (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the product of (I) the Cumulus Member’s Ownership Percentage immediately prior to the Cumulus Optional Capacity Adjustment Date multiplied by (II) the sum of (x) 200 plus (y) the amount of MWs elected by the TeraWulf Member to be received pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, plus (ii) the amount of MWs elected by the Cumulus Member to be received pursuant to the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election (which shall in no event be greater than 50) over (iii) the sum of (I) 200 plus (II) the amount of MWs elected by the TeraWulf Member to be received pursuant to the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election, plus (III) the amount of MWs elected by the Cumulus Member to be received pursuant to the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election (which shall in no event be greater than 50), and the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage shall equal (A) 100 minus (B) the Cumulus Member’s Ownership Percentage derived from the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes only of determining any amounts to be distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii) following contributions contemplated by the Capital Calls to fund the costs of such expansion and prior to the Cumulus Optional Capacity Adjustment Date, the adjustment of the Cumulus Member’s Ownership Percentage shall be deemed to have occurred at the time of the contribution of the amounts contemplated by such Capital Calls. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the energy requirement of the Facility exceed 300 MW in the aggregate without the approval of the Board of Managers.

(b)At any time before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Original Effective Date, upon exercise of the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election and, if applicable, the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election, in accordance with Section 5.14(a), the Cumulus Member or its Affiliate shall enter into an energy supply agreement with the Company to provide the optional capacity under the TeraWulf Optional Capacity Election and, if applicable, the Cumulus Optional Capacity Election (the “Optional Capacity”), to the Company, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions (the “Optional Capacity Conditions”): (i) the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates shall have received any and all regulatory approvals required for the Optional Capacity including any approval required from PJM; (ii) no regulatory approvals (individually or in the aggregate) shall impose upon the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates any conditions that would materially and adversely affect the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates’ economic ability to pursue any data center hosting/collocating businesses that the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates are developing at the Site; and (iii) the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates shall have received any and all other third-party consents required for the Optional Capacity including any approval required from PPL Electric Utilities or its affiliates; provided

​

38

that any dispute with respect to the satisfaction of any Optional Capacity Condition shall be treated as a Disputed Issue and be resolved in accordance with Section ‎‎5.7(b) applied mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any failure to meet the Optional Capacity Conditions will not prohibit the Company and the Cumulus Member from otherwise mutually agreeing on the terms of providing the Optional Capacity. Such energy supply agreement shall be treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of the Energy Supply Agreement, applying the provisions of Sections 3.1(a), 3.8(b), 3.3, 3.9(a), and 11.2(c) mutatis mutandis.

(c)The Cumulus Member shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to, as soon as possible following the date hereof, cause the Optional Capacity Conditions to be satisfied, and the TeraWulf Member shall use reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with the Cumulus Member in causing the Optional Capacity Conditions to be satisfied; provided, that, in no event shall commercially reasonable efforts be deemed to require the Cumulus Party to sue or appeal a decision by a regulator or other Governmental Authority.

(d)In connection with any Optional Capacity increase in accordance with a an Optional Capacity Election, upon satisfaction or waiver of the Optional Capacity Conditions, the electing Member’s Miner Maximum Contribution shall be increased by an amount of Miners sufficient to use the entirety of the electing Member’s Optional Capacity, as jointly determined by the Members in good faith (but which amount shall not be less than an amount that would represent an increase in such Member’s Miner Maximum Contribution proportionate to the increase in such Member’s Ownership Percentage, as determined under Section 5.14(a)).

5.15Compliance with Law; Cybersecurity.

(a)Each of the TeraWulf Member and the Cumulus Member acknowledges and agrees that it shall undertake reasonable due diligence efforts to research commercial counterparties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including conducting background and reference checks, will share all results of such diligence with the Board of Managers and immediately report suspicious activities to the Board of Managers and the applicable authorities.

(b)The Members shall select a cybersecurity provider to maintain security of digital currency assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and protect from other cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities.

​

40

(a)In connection with the calling of any meeting of the Members, the Board of Managers may set a record date for determining the Members entitled to vote at such meeting. Written notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose for which the meeting is called shall be delivered not less than seven (7) days nor more than fifty (50) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of any Manager calling the meeting to each Member, whether or not such Member is entitled to vote at such meeting.

(b)Notice to Members shall be given in accordance with Section 12.2.

(c)When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

6.8Waiver of Notice.

(a)When any notice is required to be given to any Member of the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the Person entitled to such notice, whether before, at, or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.

(b)By attending a meeting, a Member:

(i)Waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of such meeting unless the Member, at the beginning of the meeting, objects to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of business at the meeting; and

(ii)Waives objection to consideration at such meeting of a particular matter not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice unless the Member objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

6.10Quorum; Vote Required.

(a)The presence at a meeting, in person or by proxy, of Members owning a majority of the outstanding Units, which, must include the TeraWulf Member, entitled to vote on the subject matter of the meeting at the time of the action taken constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business required; provided, that if the TeraWulf Member is not present for a meeting duly called pursuant to a written notice to each of the Members in accordance with this Agreement, then a majority of the Members without the TeraWulf Member shall constitute a quorum for the next meeting called for the same purpose (so long as there is at least forty eight (48) hours between such meetings).

​

41

Members, such meeting may be adjourned to a period not to exceed sixty (60) days at any one adjournment.

(b)When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of Members owning a majority of the Units entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Members, unless the vote of a greater proportion or number or voting by classes is required by the Act or by this Agreement.

In no instance where action is authorized by written consent shall a meeting of Members be required to be called or notice required to be given prior to such action; provided, however, a copy of the action taken by written consent shall be with the records of the Company. Reasonably prompt notice of the taking of any action taken without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Members who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of Members to take the action were obtained; provided, however, that the effectiveness of such action is not dependent on the giving of such notice. Written consent by the Members pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall have the same force and effect as a vote of such Members taken at a duly held meeting of the Members and may be stated as such in any document.

6.12No Cumulative Voting. No Member shall be entitled to cumulative voting in any circumstance.

ARTICLE VII

EXCULPATION; INDEMNIFICATION; LIABILITY; OPPORTUNITY

7.1Exculpation.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Manager, Officer or Member, in any way, guarantees the return of any Members’ capital contributions or a profit for the Members from the operations of the Company or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101 of the Act, none of (i) the Managers, (ii) the Officers, (iii) the Members (including each Member appointing a Manager, whether in its capacity as such appointing Member or otherwise and each Third Party Indemnitor related to such Member and/or Manager), (iv) the Company Representative, in its capacity as such, or (v) any of the Managers’ or the Members’ respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, representatives or equity holders (each, a “Protected Person”) will be liable to the Company or any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or any Member, except to the extent of such Protected Person’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct (such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct having been determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction). None of the Protected

​

42

Persons shall be liable to the Company or its Members for any loss or damage resulting from any act or omission taken or suffered by such Protected Person in connection with the conduct of the affairs of the Company or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby, except to the extent of such Protected Person’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct (such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct having been determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction). Any Protected Person or Officer may consult with legal counsel, accountants, advisors or other similar persons with respect to the Company’s affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction that is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accord with the opinion or advice of such persons; provided, however, such legal counsel, accountants, advisors or other similar persons shall have been selected in good faith. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 18-406 of the Act.

(b)None of the Members, by reason of their execution of this Agreement or their status as Members or equity holders of the Company shall be responsible or liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of any other Member incurred either before or after the execution of this Agreement.

7.2Indemnification.

(a)To the fullest extent permitted under the Act and applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Protected Persons and each officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (collectively, “Damages”), that are incurred by any Indemnitee, and arise out of, are related to, or are in connection with (i) the affairs or operations of the Company or the performance by such Indemnitee of any of the Indemnitee’s responsibilities hereunder, and (ii) the service at the request of the Company by such Indemnitee as a partner, member, manager, director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of any other Person; provided, however, that (A) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful and (B) in no event shall such indemnity apply to Damages that are attributable to the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct having been determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction). The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be satisfied from and limited to the Company’s assets and no Member shall have any liability on account thereof.

(b)The Company shall pay reasonable, documented expenses incurred by any Indemnitee in defending any action, suit or proceeding described in subsection (a) of this Section 7.2 in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as such Damages are

​

43

incurred; provided, however, that any such advance shall only be made if such Indemnitee provides written affirmation to repay such advance if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.2.

(c)Certain Indemnitees that are directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partners, limited partners, members, equityholders, managers, or advisors of any Member or any of such Member’s Affiliates (each such Person, a “Third Party Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by or on behalf of such Member and/or its Affiliates or such Indemnitees personally (collectively, the “Third Party Indemnitors”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise: (i) the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., the Company’s obligations to each Third Party Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third Party Indemnitors to advance Damages or to provide indemnification for such Damages incurred by each Third Party Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of Damages incurred by each Third Party Indemnitee and will be liable for the full amount of all such Damages paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by this Agreement, without regard to any rights each Third Party Indemnitee may have against the Third Party Indemnitors, and (iii) the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, no advancement or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors on behalf of a Third Party Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Third Party Indemnitee has sought indemnification or advancement of Damages from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors will have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Third Party Indemnitee against the Company.

(d)The right of indemnification under this Section 7.2 shall not be available with respect to any proceeding (including counterclaim) brought by any Indemnitee, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Managers.

(e)Without limiting Section 7.2(c), the indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, determination of the Board of Managers or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 7.2 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Member, Manager or Officer (or other Person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Person.

(f)The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Indemnitee who served at any time while this Section 7.2 is in effect in any capacity entitling such Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Indemnitee intend to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Section 7.2 shall affect any rights or obligations with respect to any

​

44

state of facts then or theretofore existing or thereafter arising or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon such state of facts.

(g)The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Indemnitees and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under this Section 7.2 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

7.3Liability; Duties.

(a)No Member, Manager or Officer shall be personally liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement or required pursuant to the Act or any other applicable law.

(b)Any duties (including fiduciary duties) of a Member or Manager (but not the duties of the Officers, in their capacity as such) that would otherwise apply at law or in equity (including the duty of loyalty and the duty of care) are hereby waived and eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and any other applicable law; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not eliminate the obligation of each Member and Manager to act in compliance with the express terms of this Agreement and (ii) the foregoing shall not be deemed to eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In furtherance of the foregoing (but subject to the provisos in the foregoing), when any Member or Manager (but not the Officers of the Company, in their capacity as such) takes any action under this Agreement to give or withhold its consent or approval, such Member or Manager shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the other Members or creditors, and may act exclusively in its own interest.

(c)The Members acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is intended to comply with the provisions of the Act (including Section 18-1101 of the Act) permitting members of a limited liability company to eliminate fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Managers, in their capacity as such, shall owe the same duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company and the members as the duties that directors of a Delaware corporation owe to such corporation and its stockholders with respect making any decision in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, a Public Offering or any acquisition of all or a material portion of another business (whether equity, assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise); provided that, such duties shall not apply in the case of a Drag Transaction.

(e)Notwithstanding anything the contrary, this Section 7.3 shall expire upon an Initial Public Offering. In connection of Initial Public Offering, in the event that the Company is converted into a corporation, the waiver of any fiduciary duties as provided in this Section 7.3 shall thereafter cease to be of any force or effect.

7.4Insurance. The Company shall purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees, and shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Company, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in

​

45

connection with the activities of the Company or the Indemnitees, and in such amounts, as the Board of Managers reasonably determines are customary for similarly-situated businesses such as the Company and its Subsidiaries, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

7.5Limited Liability Company Opportunity.

(a)Subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.14, each Member acknowledges and affirms that the other Members may have, and may continue to, participate, directly or indirectly, in investments in assets and businesses which are, or will be, suitable for the Company or competitive with the Company’s business.

(b)Subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.14, each Member, individually and on behalf of the Company, expressly (i) acknowledges and agrees that no Member nor any of their respective representatives (including any Manager) will have any duty to disclose to the Company or any other Member any such business opportunities, whether or not competitive with the Company’s business and whether or not the Company might be interested in such business opportunity for itself (except to the extent that (x) such representative is an officer, consultant or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (y) such opportunity was presented to such representative in his or her capacity as such), (ii) agrees that the terms of this Section 7.5, to the extent that they modify or limit a duty or other obligation (including fiduciary duties), if any, that a Member, Manager or other Person may have to the Company or any other Person under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation, are reasonable in form, scope and content; and (iii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by the Act any duty or other obligation, if any, that a Member, Manager or other Person may have to the Company or another Person, pursuant to the Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation, to the extent necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 7.5. Subject to Sections 5.12 and 5.14, the TeraWulf Member acknowledges that the Cumulus Member and its Affiliates are pursuing other opportunities at the Site (including but not limited to data centers, solar generation, and battery storage) as well as considering opportunities at other sites.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFERS OF UNITS

9.1Limitation on Transfer.

(a)The Members shall not Transfer any Units except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any attempt to Transfer any Units in violation of the provisions of this Article IX shall be null and void ab initio and the Company shall not register or effect any such Transfer. The rights of a Member contemplated by this Agreement shall be assignable to any transferee who acquires all, but not less than all, of such Member’s Units pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX.

(b)No Transfer of any Units shall be permitted if the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 are not satisfied.

(c)Subject to Section 9.1(d), the Board of Managers shall have the power to determine all matters related to this Section 9.1, including matters necessary or desirable to administer or to determine compliance with this Section 9.1 and, absent actual fraud, bad faith, manifest error, or self-dealing, the determinations of the Board of Managers with respect to such matters related to this Section 9.1 shall be final and binding on the Company and the Members and any proposed transferee.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Member shall Transfer any Unit or Units without the prior consent of the Board of Managers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), other than Transfers (i) to the Company, (ii) to any Permitted Transferee or (iii) by the TeraWulf Member of all, but not less than all, of its Units to a Qualified TeraWulf Transferee (each, a “Permitted Transfer”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 9.4, any Member may at any time Transfer any or all of its Units to one or more of its Permitted Transferees; provided, however, that such Transfer has been made subject to the transfer-back requirements applicable to Permitted Transferees.

9.2Transfer Indemnification. If the Company incurs any liability under or as a result of Section 1446(f) of the Code in respect of any Transfer or assignment of any Unit in the Company, the transferor and transferee hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all such liability incurred in connection with such Transfer or assignment. Each Member shall provide the Company with all reasonable information that the Company requires to determine that it has complied with its obligations under Section 1446(f) of the Code.

9.3Drag and Tag Rights.

(a)Drag Right. If the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage is less than [***]% and the Cumulus Member desires to Transfer a majority of its Units to another Person that is

​

48

not (x) a Permitted Transferee or (y) a lender or other financing source (or an Affiliate thereof) of the Cumulus Member or any of its Affiliates, in each case, in one transaction or a series of related transactions (a “Drag Transaction”), then if requested by the Cumulus Member, the TeraWulf Member (which for purposes of this Section 9.3(a) shall include any Transferees to which TeraWulf Member has transferred its Units) shall be required to sell a number of Units equal to the product of (i) the number of Units beneficially owned by the TeraWulf Member as of the applicable Transfer date and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of Units the Cumulus Member proposes to Transfer and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Units beneficially owned as of such date by the Cumulus Member and any of its Permitted Transferees to which the Cumulus Member has Transferred its Units.

(b)Tag Right. If the TeraWulf Member’s Ownership Percentage is less than [***]% and the Cumulus Member desires to Transfer a majority of its Units to another Person that is not a Permitted Transferee in one transaction or a series of related transactions as to which the Cumulus Member is not exercising its “drag rights” under Section 9.3(a) (a “Tag Transaction”) then the TeraWulf Member shall have the option to include in such Tag Transaction a number of Units equal to the product of (i) the number of Units beneficially owned by the TeraWulf Member as of the applicable Transfer date and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of Units the Cumulus Member proposes to Transfer and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Units beneficially owned by the Cumulus Member as of such date.

(c)Drag/Tag Procedure. The following provisions will apply to any Drag Transaction or Tag Transaction (as applicable, a “Drag/Tag”) to which Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) respectively, applies:

(i)The Cumulus Member shall provide written notice (a “Drag/Tag Notice”) to the TeraWulf Member of any proposed Drag/Tag at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the consummation of any such Drag/Tag. The Drag/Tag Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the Units and the material terms of the Drag/Tag. The consideration to be received by the TeraWulf Member shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Unit to be received by the Cumulus Member. The terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Cumulus Member sells its Units.

(ii)At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Drag/Tag, the TeraWulf Member shall deliver to the Company to hold in escrow pending transfer of the consideration therefor, any agreements or other documents reasonably required from the TeraWulf Member to consummate such sale, including a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Company to take all actions necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of the TeraWulf Member’s Units. In the event that the TeraWulf Member should fail to deliver the Units or documents described herein, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such Units are bound by the provisions of this Section 9.3 and that such Units may only be Transferred to the purchaser in such Drag/Tag. Upon the consummation of the Drag/Tag, the acquiring Person shall pay directly to the TeraWulf Member, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the purchase price for the Units sold by the TeraWulf Member pursuant thereto, subject to any escrow or holdback under the Drag/Tag.

​

49

(iii)In connection with a Drag/Tag, the TeraWulf Member will agree to make, or agree to, (A) the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Cumulus Member so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the number of Units sold by each Member, (B) the Cumulus Member as the single Member representative and (C) an escrow or holdback to the extent applicable.

(iv)The fees and expenses incurred in connection with Drag/Tag and for the benefit of the Members, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by the Members on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each such party.

(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TeraWulf Member will not be required to accept any consideration other than cash or other marketable securities (subject in respect of the latter to any customary holding periods required to comply with state or federal securities laws) or agree to any restrictive covenant (including, without limitation, a non-compete or non-solicit or similar restriction), other than a customary confidentiality covenant.

9.4Condition to Transfers.

(a)In addition to all other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, no Transfers permitted under this Article IX (excluding Transfers pursuant to Section 9.3) shall be completed or effective unless each of the following has been satisfied or waived by the Board of Managers, subject to Section 9.1(d), on the date of such Transfer:

(i)The Member making such Transfer shall have provided to the Company, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to the proposed Transfer, (A) a duly executed Notice of Transfer, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (B) such other information or documents, including a legal opinion to the extent required under Section 9.4(a)(ii) below, as may be reasonably requested by the Company in order for it to make such determination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Transfer of Units shall be recognized by the Company unless and until the transferee of such Units, if it is not already a Member, shall have executed and delivered to the Company a joinder agreement and transfer certificate, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(ii)The Company shall not be required to register any Transfer, unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Managers (which may include the Member making such Transfer providing the Company with an opinion of counsel, at the expense of the Member making such Transfer, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Managers, to such effect) that: (A) such Transfer does not and will not violate the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or to the Units to be Transferred, (B) such Transfer does not and will not impose liability or reporting obligations on the Company or any Member under the Exchange Act or otherwise required to make any filing with the Commission, (C) such Transfer does not and will not, individually or together with other concurrently proposed

​

50

Transfers, cause the Company to be regarded as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (D) such Transfer does not and will not create, either alone or with other transfers, a substantial risk (as determined by the Board of Managers) that the Company would be classified as a publicly traded partnership or otherwise as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (E) such Transfer does not and will not cause an Event of Dissolution and (F) the requirements of Section 9.4(a)(i) above have been satisfied.

(iii)A transferee shall be admitted as a substitute Member and shall succeed proportionately to the Capital Account balance of its transferor (and its transferor shall be proportionately relieved of further obligations under this Agreement) only upon compliance with the following additional conditions: (A) except with respect to Permitted Transfers, the Board of Managers shall have consented to such admission, which consent may be granted or withheld in its discretion; and (B) the transferor shall have paid or caused to have been paid to the Company all of the Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses connected with such Transfer and substitution (including, but not limited to, the reasonable legal and accounting expenses incurred by the Company). Each of the Members hereby agrees and irrevocably consents to the admission of any substitute Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to any amendments to this Agreement to reflect any such admission and to any filings and other acts that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to any such admission.

(b)Effective Date of Transfer. A Transfer of a Member’s Units shall, to the extent permitted by law, be effective as of the date determined by the Board of Managers. If a Transfer occurs at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, the various items of Company income, gain, deduction, loss, credit and allowance as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in accordance with Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the transferor and transferee agree to reimburse the Company for any incidental accounting fees and other expenses incurred by the Company in making such allocation.

9.5Effect of Transfer. Upon the close of business on the effective date of any Transfer of Units (the “Effective Transfer Time”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (a) the Transferee shall be admitted as a Member (if not already a Member) and for purposes of this Agreement such transferee shall be deemed a Member, and (b) the Transferred Units shall continue to be subject to all the provisions of this Agreement. Unless the transferor and Transferee otherwise agree in writing, and give written notice of such agreement to the Company at least seven (7) days prior to such Effective Transfer Time, all distributions declared to be payable to the transferor at or prior to such Effective Transfer Time shall be made to the transferor. No Transfer shall relieve the transferor (or any of its Affiliates) of any of their obligations or liabilities under this Agreement arising prior to the closing of the consummation of such Transfer.

9.6Tolling. All time periods specified in this Article IX are subject to reasonable extension for the purpose of complying with requirements of law or regulation as determined by the Board of Managers.

(a)Except as and to the extent as may be required by applicable law, regulatory authorities or examinations (including FINRA), without the prior written consent and approval of the Board of Managers, the Members shall not make, and shall direct their officers, directors, agents, employees and other representatives not to make, directly or indirectly, any public comment, statement, or communication with respect to, or otherwise disclose or permit the disclosure of Confidential Information or any of the terms, conditions, or other aspects of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Members and their respective equity owners may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent required under any agreement between the Members or their respective equity owners and their respective investors, limited partners or other similar Persons of the Members and their respective equity owners, as applicable who are subject to obligations of confidentiality and in confidential materials delivered to prospective investors, limited partners or other similar Persons of the Members and their respective equity owners, as applicable who are subject to obligations of confidentiality; and (ii) to a bona fide potential purchaser of Units held by such Member if such bona fide potential purchaser executes a confidentiality agreement with such Member containing terms at least as protective as the terms set forth in this Section 12.15 and which, among other things, provides for third-party beneficiary rights in favor of the Company to enforce the terms thereof. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all information, knowledge, systems or data relating to the business, operations, finances, policies, strategies, intentions or inventions of the Company (including any of the terms of this Agreement and any information provided pursuant to Article VIII) from whatever source obtained, except for any such information, knowledge, systems or

​

56

data which at the time of disclosure was in the public domain or otherwise in the possession of the disclosing Person unless such information, knowledge, systems or data was placed into the public domain or became known to such disclosing Person in violation of any non-disclosure obligation, including this Section 12.15. Each Member agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 12.15 by a Member, and that in addition to all other remedies, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Each Member agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief and agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

(b)If any Member is required by applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information, it must, to the extent permitted by applicable law, first provide notice reasonably in advance to the Company with respect to the content of the proposed disclosure, the reasons that such disclosure is required by law and the time and place that the disclosure will be made. Such Member shall cooperate, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, with the Company to obtain confidentiality agreements or arrangements with respect to any legally mandated disclosure and in any event shall disclose only such information as is required by applicable law when required to do so.

(c)Each Member shall indemnify each other Member and the Company for any Damages incurred, suffered or sustained by any of them as a result of any breach by such Member of this Section 12.15.
