(3) ASHFORD NATIONAL BANK, N.A., a national banking association (the "Lender").

Each of the foregoing is sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

RECITALS

A. Existing Credit Agreement. The Borrower, the General Partner, and the Lender are parties to that certain Subscription Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among Solara Digital Partners Fund IV LP (EIN 85-2103748), as Borrower, Solara Digital Infrastructure GP LLC (EIN 82-4917365), as General Partner, and Ashford National Bank, N.A., as Lender, pursuant to which the Lender has made available to the Borrower a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of One Billion One Hundred Million Dollars ($1,100,000,000) (the "Facility"). The Credit Agreement has been previously amended from time to time, and all references herein to the "Credit Agreement" shall mean the Credit Agreement as so amended prior to the date hereof and as further amended by this Agreement.

B. The Fund Structure. Solara Digital Partners Fund IV LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed for the purpose of making and holding investments in digital infrastructure and enterprise SaaS companies. Solara Digital Infrastructure GP LLC serves as the sole general partner of the Borrower and is responsible for the management and investment activities of the Borrower and its affiliated fund vehicles. The Borrower operates alongside parallel fund vehicles established to accommodate the tax, regulatory, and structural requirements of its diverse limited partner investor base, including: (i) Solara Digital Partners Fund IV-A (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Fund IV-A Cayman"), whose registered office is located at Harborstone Corporate Services Ltd., P.O. Box 2714, 94 Solaris Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, and whose general partner is Solara Offshore GP Ltd.; and (ii) Solara Digital Partners Fund IV-B (Luxembourg) SCSp, a Luxembourg special limited partnership ("Fund IV-B Lux"), whose registered office is located at 14, rue Jean-Pierre Brasseur, L-1258 Luxembourg, and whose general partner is Solara Luxembourg Management S.à r.l. (RCS B 248194). Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux invest in parallel alongside the Borrower and collectively constitute the parallel fund platform for Fund IV.

C. The Reorganization. The General Partner, on behalf of itself and its affiliated fund vehicles, proposes to undertake a cross-border reorganization of its fund platform (the "Reorganization"), consisting of the following integrated steps:

Step 1 — Formation of New Entities (Target: September 15, 2025). Formation of the following new entities: (i) Solara Consolidated Master Fund GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Master Fund GP"); (ii) Solara Consolidated Master Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Master Fund"); (iii) Solara International Feeder (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the "International Feeder"); and (iv) Solara Tax-Exempt Feeder (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the "Tax-Exempt Feeder"). Each new entity shall elect partnership classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes by filing IRS Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election) with the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner following formation.

Step 2 — Contribution of Fund IV-A Cayman Assets (Target: October 1, 2025). Fund IV-A Cayman shall contribute all of its portfolio assets to the Master Fund in exchange for a limited partnership interest in the Master Fund. As of the most recent valuation date, the aggregate fair market value of such portfolio assets is approximately Two Billion Three Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($2,310,000,000), and the aggregate adjusted tax basis of such portfolio assets is approximately One Billion Six Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($1,620,000,000). This contribution is intended to qualify as a tax-free contribution under Section 721(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Step 3 — Contribution of Fund IV-B Lux Assets (Target: October 15, 2025). Fund IV-B Lux shall contribute all of its portfolio assets to the Master Fund in exchange for a limited partnership interest in the Master Fund. As of the most recent valuation date, the aggregate fair market value of such portfolio assets is approximately One Billion One Hundred Sixty Million Dollars ($1,160,000,000) (approximately €1.07 billion at a USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.08), and the aggregate adjusted tax basis of such portfolio assets is approximately Eight Hundred Forty-Four Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($844,600,000). This contribution is intended to qualify as a tax-free contribution under Section 721(a) of the Code.

Step 4 — Contribution of Fund V Offshore Assets (Target: November 1, 2025). Solara Digital Partners Fund V-A (Cayman) LP and Solara Digital Partners Fund V-B (Luxembourg) SCSp shall contribute their respective portfolio assets to the Master Fund in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Master Fund. The Fund V contributions are being consented to under a separate agreement and are referenced herein solely for the purpose of providing a complete description of the Reorganization.

Step 5 — Dissolution of Legacy Offshore Vehicles and LP Migration (Target Effective Date: December 1, 2025). Fund IV-A Cayman, Fund IV-B Lux, and the corresponding Fund V offshore vehicles shall be dissolved and shall distribute their Master Fund partnership interests to their respective existing limited partners. Following such dissolution and distribution: (x) non-U.S. limited partners shall migrate to the International Feeder, which shall hold its interest in the Master Fund on behalf of such non-U.S. limited partners; and (y) U.S. tax-exempt limited partners shall migrate to the Tax-Exempt Feeder, which shall hold its interest in the Master Fund on behalf of such U.S. tax-exempt limited partners.

Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Borrower (Solara Digital Partners Fund IV LP) will continue to exist as a Delaware limited partnership and will continue to co-invest directly alongside the Master Fund. The Borrower itself is not being merged, dissolved, or otherwise terminated in connection with the Reorganization. The Borrower's direct limited partners — principally U.S. taxable investors — will continue to hold their limited partnership interests in the Borrower without change.

The Reorganization is motivated by the following principal considerations: (i) operational cost reduction, including the elimination of approximately Three Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,800,000) in annual duplicative offshore administration, audit, and regulatory filing fees across the platform; (ii) compliance with, and mitigation of adverse effects from, the forthcoming OECD Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules, which are expected to impact the Luxembourg SCSp structures currently used by the platform; (iii) simplification of compliance obligations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") and the Common Reporting Standard ("CRS"); and (iv) governance simplification requested by the limited partner advisory committee and a substantial number of limited partners.

D. Need for Consent. Certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to change-of-control events, borrowing base and unfunded capital commitment calculations, restrictions on assignment and transfer of portfolio assets, and covenants regarding the organizational structure of the Borrower and the General Partner, require the prior written consent of the Lender before the Borrower or the General Partner may consummate the Reorganization or certain steps thereof. The Borrower and the General Partner hereby request the Lender's consent to the Reorganization and certain corresponding amendments to the Credit Agreement to reflect the post-Reorganization organizational and investment structure, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

E. LP Advisory Committee Approval. The LP Advisory Committee (the "LPAC") of Fund IV has been consulted with respect to, and has granted its preliminary consent to, the Reorganization, with seventy-eight percent (78%) in interest of the members of the LPAC voting in favor of the Reorganization at the LPAC meeting held on April 22, 2025. The General Partner is in the process of soliciting formal consent from all limited partners of the Borrower and the parallel fund vehicles, as required under their respective limited partnership agreements, and anticipates completion of such solicitation process prior to the Step 1 target date.

F. PLR Request. Calderwood & Harkness LLP, as U.S. tax counsel to Solara Digital Infrastructure LP and its affiliated entities, including the Borrower and the General Partner, has prepared and is submitting a private letter ruling request (the "PLR Request") to the Internal Revenue Service seeking confirmation of the intended tax-free treatment of the asset contributions and partnership interest distributions contemplated by the Reorganization under Sections 721(a), 731(a), and related provisions of the Code. The PLR Request was submitted (or is to be submitted) to the IRS on August 15, 2025. The authorized representatives of the General Partner designated in the PLR Request are Leonard Cross (Responsible Partner) and Sylvia Hartwell (Billing Partner), each of Calderwood & Harkness LLP.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV hereof, the Lender hereby consents to the consummation of the Reorganization as described in the Recitals and in Exhibit A hereto, including, without limitation:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consent granted hereunder does not extend to, and shall not be deemed to authorize, any subsequent restructuring, merger, consolidation, dissolution, or material change in the organizational structure of the Borrower, the General Partner, the Master Fund, or any other entity within the Solara fund platform that is not specifically described herein.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a consent, waiver, or amendment with respect to the Fund V Subscription Credit Facility or any related loan documents.

ARTICLE III — AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 3.01 — Amendment to Change-of-Control Provisions. The definition of "Change of Control" (or any equivalent defined term used in the Credit Agreement to describe events relating to a change in the ownership, control, or management of the Borrower or the General Partner) is hereby amended by adding the following proviso at the end thereof:

"; provided, however, that the consummation of the Reorganization (as defined in, and as described in the recitals and Exhibit A to, that certain Consent and Amendment Agreement dated as of [●], 2025 (the "Consent Agreement"), among the Borrower, the General Partner, and the Lender) shall not constitute a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement, so long as the following conditions are satisfied at all relevant times: (a) the General Partner of the Borrower remains Solara Digital Infrastructure GP LLC; (b) Viktor Raines continues to serve as the manager of the General Partner and retains day-to-day management authority over the investment and operational activities of the Borrower; (c) the consummation of the Reorganization does not result in any change in the ultimate control of the Borrower by the General Partner or any change in the economic rights or obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement; and (d) the indirect investor base of the Borrower is not materially altered as a result of the Reorganization, it being understood that the migration of limited partners from the Legacy Offshore Vehicles into the International Feeder, the Tax-Exempt Feeder, or the Master Fund shall not constitute a material alteration of the indirect investor base for purposes of this clause (d)."

Section 3.02 — Amendment to Borrowing Base Provisions. To the extent that the Borrowing Base (or the calculation of "Unfunded Capital Commitments," "Eligible Capital Commitments," or any equivalent concept) under the Credit Agreement includes, references, or takes into account the capital commitments of limited partners investing through Fund IV-A Cayman or Fund IV-B Lux, such provisions are hereby amended as follows:

(a) Following the completion of the Reorganization, unfunded capital commitments that were previously attributable to limited partners investing through Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux shall continue to be included in the Borrowing Base and the calculation of Unfunded Capital Commitments, provided that (i) such limited partners are investing through the post-Reorganization successor vehicles (including the Master Fund, the International Feeder, or the Tax-Exempt Feeder, as applicable), (ii) the General Partner has delivered to the Lender adequate documentation evidencing the continuation of such commitments through the successor vehicles, and (iii) the enforceability and collectability of such commitments is not materially impaired by the Reorganization.

(b) Without limiting the generality of clause (a), the following representative investors and their respective capital commitments shall be treated as continuing eligible commitments for Borrowing Base purposes:

(i) Nordhaven Sovereign Wealth Fund — Three Hundred Eighty Million Dollars ($380,000,000) committed to Fund IV-A Cayman, transitioning to the International Feeder;

(ii) Kestrel Pacific Insurance Group — Two Hundred Million Euros (€200,000,000) committed to Fund IV-B Lux, transitioning to the International Feeder;

(iii) Pinnacle State Employees' Retirement System — Two Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($275,000,000) committed to Fund IV LP (direct; unaffected by Reorganization);

(iv) Grandview University Endowment — One Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($120,000,000) committed to Fund IV LP (direct; migrating to Tax-Exempt Feeder for co-investment participation);

(v) Argyle Family Office Holdings LLC — Ninety-Five Million Dollars ($95,000,000) committed to Fund IV LP (direct; unaffected by Reorganization, as a U.S. taxable investor).

(c) References in the Credit Agreement to the "limited partnership agreements" of Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux for purposes of Borrowing Base calculations shall, following the dissolution of such vehicles, be deemed to refer to the corresponding provisions of the limited partnership agreements of the Master Fund, the International Feeder, or the Tax-Exempt Feeder, as applicable.

(d) The General Partner shall deliver to the Lender, within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Step 5 of the Reorganization, an updated Schedule of Investors and Unfunded Capital Commitments reflecting the post-Reorganization structure, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto.

Section 3.03 — Amendment to Organizational Structure Covenants. The existing covenant in the Credit Agreement requiring the Borrower to maintain its organizational structure and not permit any material change to such organizational structure without the prior written consent of the Lender is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Such covenant is amended to expressly permit the Reorganization as described in this Agreement and in Exhibit A hereto, and the consummation of the Reorganization shall not constitute a breach of such covenant.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Reorganization to the contrary, the Borrower shall continue to be organized as a Delaware limited partnership with Solara Digital Infrastructure GP LLC as its sole general partner. Nothing in the Reorganization contemplates or permits the merger, dissolution, conversion, or domestication of the Borrower to or into any other entity or jurisdiction.

(c) A new sub-clause is hereby added to such covenant requiring the Borrower to deliver to the Lender updated organizational charts reflecting the post-Reorganization structure of the Borrower and its affiliated fund vehicles within thirty (30) days following the completion of each step of the Reorganization (Steps 1 through 5). Such organizational charts shall be in reasonable detail and shall identify all entities, their jurisdictions of organization, their general partners or managing members (as applicable), and the flow of capital commitments and portfolio investments.

Section 3.04 — Amendment to Assignment and Transfer Provisions. Any provision in the Credit Agreement that restricts, prohibits, or conditions the transfer, assignment, contribution, or other disposition of portfolio assets held by Fund IV-A Cayman or Fund IV-B Lux, or that restricts, prohibits, or conditions the transfer of partnership interests in Fund IV-A Cayman or Fund IV-B Lux, is hereby amended to permit the contributions and distributions described in Steps 2, 3, and 5 of the Reorganization, subject to the following:

(a) Such amendment is limited to the specific asset contributions and partnership interest distributions described in this Agreement and in Exhibit A hereto, and does not constitute a general waiver or modification of any transfer or assignment restrictions applicable to the Borrower, the General Partner, or their portfolio assets.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower's own portfolio assets are not being contributed to the Master Fund as part of the Reorganization. The Borrower will continue to hold its direct co-investment interests in portfolio companies and will co-invest alongside the Master Fund on substantially the same terms as its existing co-investment arrangements with Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux. Only the portfolio assets held by Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux are being transferred to the Master Fund.

(c) The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender in writing if any portfolio asset proposed to be contributed to the Master Fund is subject to any lien, encumbrance, restriction on transfer, or other impediment that could affect the Lender's rights under the Credit Agreement.

Section 3.05 — Amendment to Reporting and Compliance Obligations. The reporting and compliance covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to require the Borrower and the General Partner to deliver the following additional reports and materials to the Lender:

(a) NAV Reports and Investor Statements. On a quarterly basis (within forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter), net asset value reports and investor statements from the Master Fund, in substantially the same form and detail as the NAV reports and investor statements previously received by the Lender from Fund IV-A Cayman through Clarendon Fund Services Ltd. (or any successor fund administrator). Such reports shall include a summary of portfolio company valuations, capital account balances, capital call and distribution activity, and any material changes to the composition of the Master Fund's portfolio.

(b) Updated Schedule of Investors. Within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Step 5 of the Reorganization (December 1, 2025), an updated Schedule of Investors reflecting the post-Reorganization limited partner structure, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, including the identity of each limited partner, such limited partner's classification (U.S. taxable, U.S. tax-exempt, or non-U.S.), the original fund vehicle through which such limited partner invested, the post-Reorganization vehicle through which such limited partner will invest, and the capital commitment and unfunded commitment amounts applicable to such limited partner.

(c) Entity Classification Elections. Promptly following the filing thereof (and in any event within fifteen (15) business days following filing), copies of the IRS Form 8832 entity classification elections filed for the Master Fund, the International Feeder, and the Tax-Exempt Feeder, together with evidence of acceptance thereof by the Internal Revenue Service.

(d) IRS Private Letter Ruling. Promptly upon receipt (and in any event within five (5) business days following receipt), copies of any private letter ruling or other determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Reorganization, together with any supplemental correspondence or guidance related thereto.

(e) Fund Administration Transition. The Borrower shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lender of any change in the fund administrator responsible for preparing NAV reports and investor statements in connection with the transition from Clarendon Fund Services Ltd. to the Master Fund's designated administrator, including the identity and qualifications of any successor administrator.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Date, the following entities are hereby added to the definition of "Parallel Funds" (or equivalent term): (i) the Master Fund; (ii) the International Feeder; and (iii) the Tax-Exempt Feeder, in each case as successor parallel or feeder vehicles to the Legacy Offshore Vehicles.

(b) Effective as of the respective dissolution dates of Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux in connection with Step 5 of the Reorganization, references to Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux in the definition of "Parallel Funds" (or equivalent term) shall be deemed deleted and of no further force or effect.

(c) All provisions of the Credit Agreement that reference, rely upon, or are conditioned upon the existence or status of the Parallel Funds shall be construed to include the Master Fund, the International Feeder, and the Tax-Exempt Feeder as successor vehicles, as the context requires.

Section 3.07 — Amendment to Negative Covenants. Any negative covenant in the Credit Agreement that would be breached by: (a) the incurrence, assumption, or existence of liabilities at the Master Fund level in connection with the Reorganization; (b) the assumption by the Master Fund of liabilities from Fund IV-A Cayman or Fund IV-B Lux in connection with the asset contributions described in Steps 2 and 3 of the Reorganization; or (c) any other action taken in connection with the Reorganization as described in this Agreement, is hereby amended to expressly permit such action, subject to the following:

(a) The aggregate liabilities to be assumed by the Master Fund across all four Legacy Offshore Vehicles (including both Fund IV and Fund V parallel vehicles) total approximately One Billion Three Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($1,340,000,000). The General Partner shall provide to the Lender, prior to the consummation of Step 2 of the Reorganization, a detailed breakdown of the liabilities to be assumed from Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux, respectively, and the nature and terms of such liabilities.

(b) The Borrower's own liabilities under the Credit Agreement, including its obligations to repay principal, interest, fees, and other amounts under the Facility, are wholly unaffected by the Reorganization and shall continue in full force and effect.

(c) Nothing in this Section 3.07 shall be construed to permit the incurrence by the Borrower or the General Partner of any indebtedness or other liabilities beyond those expressly contemplated by the Reorganization without the prior written consent of the Lender.

Section 3.08 — Amendment to Events of Default. The Events of Default provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to include the following clarifications:

(a) The dissolution of Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux in connection with Step 5 of the Reorganization shall not constitute an Event of Default under any provision of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, any provision relating to the dissolution, winding up, or termination of a Parallel Fund or Related Vehicle.

(b) The contribution by Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux of their respective portfolio assets to the Master Fund in connection with Steps 2 and 3 of the Reorganization shall not constitute an Event of Default under any provision of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, any provision relating to the transfer, assignment, or disposition of assets by a Parallel Fund or Related Vehicle.

(c) To the extent the Credit Agreement contains a cross-default provision referencing the Fund V Subscription Credit Facility (the One Billion Five Hundred Million Dollar ($1,500,000,000) revolving credit facility among Solara Digital Partners Fund V LP, Ashford National Bank, N.A., and Sentinel Capital Markets LLC, as co-lender and administrative agent), such cross-default provision shall not be triggered by any event arising solely from or in connection with the Reorganization, provided that the separate consent and amendment agreement relating to the Fund V Subscription Credit Facility is in full force and effect at such time.

(d) None of the foregoing shall affect, impair, or otherwise modify the Lender's rights under the Events of Default provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to any event, act, or omission that does not arise from or in connection with the Reorganization.

ARTICLE V — REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 5.01 — Representations of the Borrower and the General Partner. The Borrower and the General Partner, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Lender as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date as follows:

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Borrower is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The General Partner is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Borrower and the General Partner has full power and authority under its respective organizational documents and applicable law to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Reorganization. Each of the Borrower and the General Partner is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Borrower and the General Partner of this Agreement, and the consummation of the Reorganization, have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action (in the case of the Borrower) and limited liability company action (in the case of the General Partner). No further consent, approval, or authorization of any person, entity, or governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by the Borrower or the General Partner, other than the limited partner consents referenced in Section 4.01(b) and such filings and registrations as may be required in connection with the formation of the new entities and the dissolution of the Legacy Offshore Vehicles. The board of managers of the General Partner approved the exploration and consummation of the Reorganization at a duly convened meeting held on March 14, 2025.

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower and the General Partner of this Agreement, and the consummation of the Reorganization, do not and will not: (i) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the certificate of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement, certificate of formation, operating agreement, or other organizational documents of the Borrower or the General Partner; (ii) violate any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, or decree of any court or governmental authority applicable to the Borrower, the General Partner, or their respective properties or assets; or (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration, or imposition of any lien under any material agreement, contract, indenture, mortgage, or instrument to which the Borrower or the General Partner is a party or by which the Borrower or the General Partner or their respective properties or assets are bound.

(d) No Default. No Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof, and no Default or Event of Default would result from the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Reorganization. All conditions to borrowing under the Credit Agreement that are required to be satisfied as of the date hereof have been satisfied.

(e) Accuracy of Information. All information, documents, financial data, organizational charts, and other materials provided by the Borrower or the General Partner to the Lender in connection with the Reorganization and the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement are true, correct, and complete in all material respects as of the date of delivery thereof and do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following financial information relating to the Borrower and the parallel fund vehicles is true and correct in all material respects:

(i) Fund IV LP (the Borrower) has an aggregate fund size of approximately Four Billion Two Hundred Million Dollars ($4,200,000,000), with a vintage year of 2021 and approximately seventy-two percent (72%) of committed capital deployed as of the most recent reporting date;

(ii) Fund IV-A Cayman has an aggregate fund size of approximately One Billion Eight Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($1,850,000,000); and

(iii) Fund IV-B Lux has an aggregate fund size of approximately One Billion One Hundred Fifty Million Euros (€1,150,000,000), or approximately One Billion Two Hundred Forty Million Dollars ($1,240,000,000) at a USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.08.

(f) Tax Treatment. The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a series of tax-free transactions under Sections 721(a) and 731(a) of the Code and related provisions of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Calderwood & Harkness LLP, as U.S. tax counsel to Solara and its affiliated entities, has prepared and submitted (or will submit on August 15, 2025) a private letter ruling request to the Internal Revenue Service seeking confirmation of the intended tax-free treatment of the Reorganization. The Borrower and the General Partner are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause the Reorganization to fail to qualify for such tax-free treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor the General Partner makes any guarantee or assurance that a favorable private letter ruling will be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.

(g) No Material Adverse Effect. The Reorganization will not result in a Material Adverse Effect on: (i) the business, operations, financial condition, or properties of the Borrower or the General Partner; (ii) the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement, including its obligations to repay amounts outstanding under the Facility; (iii) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any related loan document; or (iv) the rights and remedies of the Lender under the Credit Agreement or any related loan document.

(h) Investor Base. The limited partner investor base of Fund IV LP (the Borrower) is not materially altered by the Reorganization. U.S. taxable investors that are limited partners of the Borrower, including, without limitation, Argyle Family Office Holdings LLC (with a capital commitment of Ninety-Five Million Dollars ($95,000,000)), continue to hold their limited partnership interests in the Borrower directly. The Reorganization affects only the parallel offshore vehicles (Fund IV-A Cayman and Fund IV-B Lux) and the limited partners that invest through such vehicles. Following the Reorganization, such limited partners will hold their interests through the Master Fund (via the International Feeder or the Tax-Exempt Feeder, as applicable), and their unfunded capital commitments will remain enforceable and collectible.

(i) Compliance with Laws. Each of the Borrower and the General Partner is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of FATCA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and applicable anti-money laundering statutes. The Reorganization has been structured to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including the requirements of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier.

(b) Updated Investor Schedules. The Borrower and the General Partner shall deliver to the Lender updated schedules of investors and unfunded capital commitments, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, within sixty (60) days following the effective date of Step 5 of the Reorganization (December 1, 2025).

(the current administrator of the Legacy Offshore Vehicles) to the Master Fund's designated administrator, and shall provide the Lender with reasonable advance notice of any change in fund administrator.

(d) Copies of IRS Correspondence. The Borrower and the General Partner shall deliver to the Lender copies of any private letter ruling, determination letter, closing agreement, or other formal correspondence issued by the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Reorganization, promptly upon receipt thereof (and in any event within five (5) business days following receipt). To the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the PLR Request, the Borrower shall also provide the Lender with copies of any supplemental submissions or responses filed with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the PLR Request.

(e) Maintenance of General Partner. The Borrower shall at all times maintain Solara Digital Infrastructure GP LLC as its sole general partner, with Viktor Raines continuing to serve as the manager thereof and retaining day-to-day management authority over the investment and operational activities of the Borrower. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender of any proposed change in the identity of the general partner or the manager of the General Partner.

Section 6.02 — Negative Covenants. In addition to, and without limiting, the negative covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Agreement), the Borrower and the General Partner shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender:

(a) Deviate from the Reorganization. Materially deviate from the Reorganization as described in this Agreement and in the Recitals hereto, including, without limitation, any material change to the sequence of steps, the identity of the entities involved, the terms of the asset contributions, or the terms of the dissolution and LP migration, in each case without the prior written consent of the Lender. For purposes of this Section 6.02(a), a delay in any step of up to thirty (30) calendar days from the applicable target date shall not constitute a material deviation, provided that the Borrower has delivered written notice of such delay to the Lender not less than five (5) business days prior to the applicable target date.

(b) Further Restructurings. Undertake, or permit any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to undertake, any further restructuring, merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, or dissolution of the Borrower, the General Partner, the Master Fund, the International Feeder, or the Tax-Exempt Feeder, in each case beyond the scope of the Reorganization as described in this Agreement.

(c) Change of General Partner. Permit any change in the identity of the sole general partner of the Borrower or the sole general partner of the Master Fund, or any change in the manager of the General Partner or the Master Fund GP, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

ARTICLE VII — CONTINUING EFFECT; REAFFIRMATION

Section 7.01 — Credit Agreement Remains in Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly modified, amended, or supplemented by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and all related loan documents, instruments, and agreements (including, without limitation, any security agreements, pledge agreements, guaranties, side letters, and fee letters executed in connection with the Credit Agreement) remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender's commitment under the Facility in the aggregate principal amount of One Billion One Hundred Million Dollars ($1,100,000,000) remains unchanged and unmodified by this Agreement, and the Borrower's obligations to repay all amounts outstanding under the Facility in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement continue without modification.

Section 7.02 — Reaffirmation of Obligations. The Borrower and the General Partner hereby reaffirm, ratify, and confirm all of their respective obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Agreement) and under all related loan documents, and agree that such obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness remain in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Borrower acknowledges that the Lender is entering into this Agreement in reliance on the representations, warranties, and covenants of the Borrower and the General Partner set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.03 — Reaffirmation of Security / Collateral. To the extent the Credit Agreement is secured by unfunded capital commitments, investor capital call rights, or other collateral pledged by the Borrower or the General Partner to the Lender, the Borrower and the General Partner hereby confirm and reaffirm that all such security interests and pledges remain in full force and effect, have not been released, terminated, or impaired, and extend to the post-Reorganization structure, including unfunded capital commitments of limited partners investing through the Master Fund, the International Feeder, and the Tax-Exempt Feeder, to the extent applicable. The Borrower's own unfunded capital commitments from its direct limited partners (principally U.S. taxable investors) are unaffected by the Reorganization and continue to serve as collateral for the Facility in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower and the General Partner agree to execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, and agreements as the Lender may reasonably request to evidence, perfect, or protect the Lender's security interests in the post-Reorganization structure.
