Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Consent shall have the meanings given to them in the Prepaid Advance Agreements.

2.Consent and Waiver. Investor hereby (a) consents to the CIM Transaction, (b) waives any and all Restrictions, and (c) agrees that the CIM Transaction, the transactions related thereto and the performance by the Borrower and the Grantors of their respective obligations in respect thereof shall not constitute an Event of Default, Default or breach under any provision of the Prepaid Advance Agreements, the Yorkville Documents or Transaction Documents. For so long as the Yorkville Promissory Notes remain outstanding, no amendment, modification or replacement of the CIM Transaction will (i) grant the CIM Lender a Lien in the assets that are subject to the ADC Lien or (ii) restrict the Company from making payments under the Yorkville Promissory Notes.

3.Amendment to Floor Price. The Floor Price (as defined in the Yorkville Promissory Notes) shall immediately and without requiring any further action or notice, be reduced to $2.00 per Common Share so long as the daily VWAP is less than $3.00 per Common Share for five (5) out of seven (7) Trading Days.

4.Lien. On or before June 14, 2024, the Company will deliver to the Investor a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both parties, whereby Applied Digital Cloud Corporation (“ADC”) grants a springing lien on substantially all of its assets subject to customary carve-outs including, without limitation, assets subject or related to any leases (the “ADC Lien”) to secure the Yorkville Promissory Notes. Such security agreement will provide that the ADC Lien will spring upon the occurrence and during the continuation of either (i) an Event of Default under, and as currently defined in the Yorkville Documents and (ii) a Registration Failure (as defined below). If the ADC Lien springs, the ADC Lien will automatically, without consent, action, notice or deed, be released on the earliest of (i) incurrence, acceptance, agreement or consummation of any financing described in clause (vii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness below, (ii) October 1, 2024 and (iii) the first date on which the Yorkville Promissory Notes are no longer outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, no liens other than the ADC Lien will be granted to the Investor in connection with this Consent. A “Registration Failure” means either (x) or (y): (x)(A) the May Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 1, 2024 and (B) the Company defaults in its obligations to make prepayments under Section 6.01(a) of the May PAA (as amended below); or (y) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company on April 15, 2024 pursuant to the March PAA ceases to be effective; provided, that such

Registration Failure shall cease to exist upon the reinstatement or replacement of such registration statement with an effective registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4 and the ADC Lien shall terminate on the first date on which the Yorkville Promissory Notes are no longer outstanding.

5.Consent Fee. The Company shall pay its own fees and expenses and the Investor’s fees and expenses (including the fees of any attorneys, accountants, or other advisors engaged by such party) in connection with this Consent.
