Explanatory

Note

On

May 5, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Applied Digital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), completed

the previously announced divestiture of its cloud business pursuant to that certain Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Contribution

and Exchange Agreement”), dated February 15, 2026, by and among Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (“Ekso”), APLD Intermediate

HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“APLD Intermediate”), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability

company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate (“Contributor”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary

of the Company, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, a Nevada corporation, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company and a

direct subsidiary of Contributor (“Cloud”). Upon the closing (the “Closing”), Contributor contributed to Ekso

all of its right, title and interest in and to 1,200 shares of common stock of Cloud, constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding

equity of Cloud (the “Contributed Shares”), in exchange for 138,216,820 newly issued shares (the “Exchanged Shares”)

of Ekso common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Ekso Common Stock”). As a result of the transaction (the “Business

Combination”), Cloud became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ekso and Ekso changed its name to ChronoScale Corporation (“ChronoScale”).

The Company as of the Closing (on an aggregate basis with Contributor) owns approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding equity

of ChronoScale. The common stock of ChronoScale began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CHRN” on May

5, 2026.

The

foregoing description of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by

reference to the full text of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report

and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item

1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Private

Placement

In

connection with, and as a condition to Closing, on May 1, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities

Purchase Agreement”) with Ekso, pursuant to which Ekso agreed to sell and issue to the Company 1,311,407 shares of Ekso Common

Stock (the “Private Placement Shares”). The Private Placement Shares were issued and sold at an offering price of $12.01

per share, the closing price of Ekso Common Stock on April 30, 2026, the date immediately preceding the date of execution of the Securities

Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of approximately $15.75 million (the “Applied Parent Equity Financing”). The closing

of the Applied Parent Equity Financing took place on May 5, 2026, immediately prior to the Closing. The Private Placement Shares constitute

registrable securities under the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and, as such, have the same resale registration rights

as set forth under “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement – Investor Rights Agreement – Registration

Rights” of this Current Report.

Lake

Street Capital Markets, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as Ekso’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the

Applied Parent Equity Financing, and in the past, has provided, directly or through its affiliates, financial advisory and other services

to Ekso. As compensation for the services provided by the Placement Agent in the Applied Parent Equity Financing, the Placement Agent

received a cash fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Applied Parent Equity Financing, or approximately $0.75

million.

The

Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Ekso, conditions to closing, indemnification

obligations of the Company and Ekso, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and

covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were

solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The

foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated

herein by reference.

Management

Advisory and Corporate Services Agreement

At

Closing, in connection with the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Company and ChronoScale entered into a Management Advisory and

Corporate Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”). Under the Services Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide

ChronoScale with (i) management advisory services, including financial, managerial, and operational advice regarding day-to-day operations

and strategic transactions and (ii) certain corporate services to ChronoScale, including administrative and software services, and various

personnel services. Under the Services Agreement, ChronoScale will pay the Company (i) an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the gross

revenue of ChronoScale and its subsidiaries per quarter and (ii) fees for other corporate services provided by the Company to ChronoScale

and its subsidiaries as they are incurred on a monthly basis. The Services Agreement has an initial term of twelve (12) months, with

automatic successive one (1)-month renewals unless either party provides at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal

prior to the expiration of the initial term or at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the renewal term, and may be terminated

by the Company upon thirty (30) days written notice to ChronoScale or by either party upon an uncured material breach or upon a party’s

bankruptcy or insolvency. ChronoScale has agreed to indemnify the Company for damages arising from gross negligence, willful misconduct,

fraud, or breach, and the Company’s aggregate liability is capped at ten percent (10%) of the aggregate service fees paid to the

Company, with exclusions for consequential damages subject to carve-outs for fraud or willful misconduct. The Services Agreement also

contains customary provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual property licensing and data privacy and is governed by the laws

of the State of Delaware.

The

foregoing description of the Services Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the

full text of the Services Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Investor

Rights Agreement

Designation

Rights

At

the Closing, Contributor and ChronoScale entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant

to which, the APLD Designator (as defined therein) has the right to designate four (4) of the seven (7) directors on ChronoScale’s

Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the Chairman (each such director, an “APLD Designee”). The initial

APLD Designees are Wes Cummins (Chairman), Ella Benson, Douglas Miller and Richard Nottenburg. The rest of the Board is comprised of

Ying Cenly Chen, ChronoScale’s Chief Executive Officer, William M. Clancy, and Scott G. Davis, the Chief Executive Officer of Ekso

Bionics, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of ChronoScale).

The

Investor Rights Agreement provides that, (i) for so long as the APLD Investors (as defined therein) beneficially own at least 50% of

the aggregate outstanding voting securities of ChronoScale, the APLD Designator may designate four (4) directors, (ii) if the APLD Investors

beneficially own at least 25% of the aggregate outstanding voting securities of ChronoScale, the APLD Designator may designate three

(3) directors; (iii) if the APLD Investors beneficially own at least 10% (but less than 25%) of the aggregate outstanding voting securities

of ChronoScale, the APLD Designator may designate two (2) directors; and (iv) if the APLD Investors beneficially own less than 10% of

the aggregate outstanding voting securities of ChronoScale, the APLD Designator may designate one (1) director. In addition, the Investor

Rights Agreement provides that the APLD Designator has the right, but not the obligation, to consent to any individual nominated for

election to the Board seat initially occupied by the Chief Executive Officer of ChronoScale, for so long as the APLD Investors collectively

beneficially own at least 25% of the aggregate outstanding voting securities of ChronoScale.

Under

the Investor Rights Agreement, any director that is designated by the APLD Designator may only be removed with the consent of the APLD

Designator, or by the stockholders in accordance with applicable law and regulations, and the APLD Designator is entitled to appoint

replacement designees in the event a vacancy is created with respect to one of its designees.

Under

the Investor Rights Agreement, ChronoScale is required to include the applicable designees in its slate of nominees for election at any

stockholder meetings and to use reasonable best efforts to cause each designee to be elected.

For

so long as the APLD Investors continue to beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate outstanding voting securities

of ChronoScale, the Board is prohibited from increasing the total number of directors on the Board to greater than seven (7) and, in

no event shall any decrease in the number of directors on the Board, in any instance, eliminate, abridge, or otherwise modify the APLD

Designator’s designation rights, in each case, without the consent of the APLD Designator.

Observer

Rights

For

so long as any APLD Investor is a party to the Investor Rights Agreement, the APLD Investors have the right to invite two (2) observers

to all meetings of the Board, and such observers may participate in all deliberations thereof, in a non-voting observer capacity, so

long as such observers’ presence, or participation in, such meetings shall not pose a conflict of interest or threat to attorney-client

privilege or work product privilege.

Approval

Rights

Under

the Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as the APLD Investors continue to beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate

outstanding voting securities of ChronoScale, ChronoScale has agreed not to take the following specified actions (as more fully set forth

in the Investor Rights Agreement) without the prior written consent of the APLD Designator, which such approval rights may be waived

by the APLD Designator, in whole or in part, from time to time:

commence

or approve any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of ChronoScale or any subsidiary, including similar transactions, or merge

or consolidate with any person, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets or voting

power of ChronoScale or any subsidiary;

make

any fundamental change in the nature of ChronoScale’s or any subsidiary’s business or purpose;

relocate

ChronoScale’s principal office;

create,

authorize, designate, issue or obligate ChronoScale or any subsidiary to issue any securities that are senior to the Common Stock

with respect to dividends, liquidation or voting;

amend

ChronoScale’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, stockholders’ agreement or similar governing or organizational document;

issue

any shares of preferred stock;

declare,

set aside or pay any dividends or other distributions on any capital stock;

enter

into any agreement that restricts the ability of ChronoScale or any subsidiary to comply with the preemptive rights of the APLD Investors

in the Investor Rights Agreement;

incur,

create, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money, subject to certain exceptions;

make

or commit to make any acquisition, joint venture, partnership, strategic alliance or formation of any subsidiary, or any investment

in, or loans or advances to, any person, subject to certain exceptions;

create,

incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) on any property or asset now owned or hereafter

acquired by ChronoScale or any subsidiary, assign or sell any income or revenues (including accounts receivable) or rights in respect

thereof, other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement);

enter

into, amend, waive, supplement or terminate any transaction or agreement with any stockholder, director, officer or employee of ChronoScale

or any subsidiary, or any affiliate of the foregoing, subject to certain exceptions;

sell,

transfer, assign, exclusively license, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any assets valued individually or collectively in

excess of $100 million, subject to certain exceptions;

hire,

appoint, terminate or materially change the compensation or duties of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of ChronoScale;

appoint,

remove or change ChronoScale’s independent public accountants (other than to a nationally recognized or regional accounting

firm);

prosecute,

commence, defend, settle or compromise any litigation, arbitration, administrative or regulatory proceeding, investigation or claim

that could reasonably be expected to (i) result in obligations (including fees and expenses) exceeding $1 million, (ii) impose injunctive

or other equitable relief materially adverse to ChronoScale or the conduct of the business, or (iii) adversely affect the rights

of any APLD Investor;

enter

into any agreement that purports to bind any APLD Investor;

make

any political or charitable contribution in excess of $1,000 in any instance or $10,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year, subject

to applicable law;

enter

into any agreement that restricts the ability of ChronoScale or any subsidiary to conduct any material aspect of its business, to

compete in any material respect, or to operate in any geographic area, other than customary restrictions in commercial agreements

entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

agree,

approve, adopt a plan or policy, or commit, resolve or obligate ChronoScale or any subsidiary to do any of the foregoing.

Preemptive

Rights

Contributor

is entitled to preemptive rights for so long as it beneficially owns at least ten percent (10%) of ChronoScale’s

aggregate outstanding voting securities, subject to certain exemptions. When ChronoScale proposes to issue new equity securities, it

must provide Contributor with written notice specifying the securities to be offered, the price, and other material terms. Within ten

(10) days of receiving this notice, Contributor may elect to purchase up to the lesser of (i) 150% of its pro rata share of outstanding

equity securities or (ii) 75% of the new securities being offered, with an oversubscription right for any unsubscribed securities.

If

Contributor does not subscribe for all offered securities, ChronoScale may sell the remaining securities to third parties within ninety

(90) days, provided the terms are no more favorable than those initially offered to Contributor. If ChronoScale fails to complete a sale

within this period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the preemptive rights revive

and the offered securities may not be sold without restarting the process.

Registration

Rights

ChronoScale

is required to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of all registrable securities held by the APLD Investors

by the date that is sixty (60) days after Closing. The registration statement must be on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is unavailable, on

another appropriate form, with ChronoScale obligated to convert to a Form S-3 shelf registration statement within thirty (30) days of

becoming eligible. ChronoScale is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective

within thirty (30) calendar days of the filing deadline (or sixty (60) days if the SEC reviews the filing).

ChronoScale

will bear all registration expenses, excluding underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and the APLD Investors’ legal fees.

ChronoScale is obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until there are no longer any registrable securities

outstanding, subject to certain permitted suspension periods not exceeding forty-five (45) consecutive trading days or ninety (90) total

trading days in any 365-day period. If the SEC limits the securities eligible for registration under Rule 415, ChronoScale will be obligated

to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate for full registration and, if unsuccessful, allocate any required cutbacks among the

APLD Investors on a pro rata basis. ChronoScale is also obligated to take reasonable steps to facilitate sales under Rule 144, maintain

stock exchange listings, and promptly notify investors of any material misstatements requiring prospectus amendments.

The

foregoing description of the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

to the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report and incorporated

by reference herein.

Forward-Looking

Statements

This

Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

of 1995 regarding, among other things, future operating and financial performance, product development, market position, business strategy

and objectives and future financing plans of the Company. These statements use words, and variations of words, such as “will,”

“continue,” “build,” “future,” “increase,” “drive,” “believe,”

“look,” “ahead,” “confident,” “deliver,” “outlook,” “expect,”

construction and operations; ChronoScale’s dependence on material cloud compute customer/s; the Company’s ability to obtain

financing of datacenter leases on acceptable financing terms, or at all; the Company’s dependence on principal customers, including

its ability to execute and perform its obligations under its leases with key customers, including without limitation, the datacenter

leases with hyperscalers; the Company’s ability to timely and successfully build new hosting facilities with the appropriate contractual

margins and efficiencies; power or other supply disruptions and equipment failures; the inability to comply with regulations, developments

and changes in regulations; cash flow and access to capital; availability of financing to continue to grow its business; decline in demand

can be found in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including in the

sections captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors,” and in the Company’s subsequent filings

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as Ekso’s definitive information statement on Schedule

14C, describing the Business Combination, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2026. Copies of these filings are available online at

with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate

of the Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor

and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to

any such transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the registration provisions

of the Investor Rights Agreement (but solely as such relate to the registration for resale of the Securities hereunder) and shall have

provisions thereof as such relate to the registration for resale of the Securities hereunder).

4.2

Legend.

(a)

Purchaser agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Securities subject to this Agreement will bear a legend

substantially to the following effect:

THE

SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS

OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT

UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

-10-

THESE

SECURITIES ARE HELD BY A PERSON WHO MAY BE DEEMED TO BE AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER FOR PURPOSES OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES

ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO,

OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISPOSITION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES

ACT.

(b)

In connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144, pursuant

to any other exemption under the Securities Act or pursuant to sale under an effective registration statement such that the Permitted

Transferee acquires freely tradable shares and upon compliance by the Purchaser with the requirements of this Section 4.2, if

requested by the Purchaser (or any Permitted Transferee), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock to timely remove

any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Shares

provided that the Company has received customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection

therewith. Subject to receipt by the Company of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company

in connection therewith (including in the case of clause (i) below, to the extent the Transfer Agent requires an opinion from counsel

pursuant to clause (B) below, representations and documentation from a broker dealer acceptable to the Company as to prospective sales

pursuant to such registration statement), upon the earlier of such time as the Shares (i) have been sold or transferred pursuant to an

effective registration statement, (ii) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(b)(1) or

any successor provision (without the requirement for the Company to comply with the current public information obligations of Rule 144(c)),

the Company shall promptly upon any request therefor from the Purchaser accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable documentation

referred to above (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry

for such book entry Shares, and (B) use reasonably best efforts to cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more blanket

opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act.

4.3

Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser

and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, investment advisers and agents (and any other Persons with a

functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who

controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,

officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, investment advisers or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent

role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser

Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including

all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such

Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by

the Company in this Agreement (to the extent such representation or warranty is still in effect pursuant to the provisions of Section

5.15) or (ii) any Action instituted against the Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party, by any stockholder of the Company

who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser seeking indemnification, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

(unless such Action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, or

any agreements or understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal

securities Laws or any conduct by the Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly

after receipt by any such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances that would

or may give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant

to this Section 4.3, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense

thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all

fees and expenses relating to such Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify

the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially

prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel,

but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified

Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense

of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable

judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual

or potential differing interests between them. In the event of the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (iii), if the Indemnified

Person notifies the Company in writing that such Indemnified Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company,

then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The Company shall

not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

herein, the Company shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 4.3 to the extent fees or costs incurred are attributable to

the Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this

Agreement or if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or

alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Indemnified

Person. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned,

the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party,

unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding,

(ii) imposes no liability or obligation on the Indemnified Person and (iii) does not include any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing

or malfeasance by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.

-11-

4.4

Investment Company. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities and prior to the consummation

of the Business Combination will not be, required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment

Company Act of 1940, as amended.

4.5

Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person,

that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” (or similar term) under any control share acquisition, business combination,

poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter

adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser would be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement by virtue of

receiving the Shares.

5.2

Amendment; Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless

made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer or representative of the Company and the Purchaser. No failure or delay by any

party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise

thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The conditions to each

party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or

in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law. No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective unless it is in a writing

5.3

Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means

of an electronic transmission, including by a facsimile machine or via email, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original

agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof

delivered in person. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,”

and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated

hereby (including without limitation waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching

of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall

as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and

National Commerce Act or any state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. No party hereto or to any such agreement or

instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that

any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation

of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which

will be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on each party hereto.

5.4

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the state of New York, without

giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the state of New York or any other jurisdiction)

that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of New York. Any dispute relating hereto shall

be heard in any state or federal court located in Manhattan in the state of New York (each a “Chosen Court” and collectively,

the “Chosen Courts”), and the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chosen Courts. Such Persons

further agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this

Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by any matters related to the foregoing (the “Applicable Matters”)

shall be brought exclusively in a Chosen Court, and that any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any other Applicable Matter

shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the state of New York, and each of the foregoing Persons hereby irrevocably

consents to the jurisdiction of such Chosen Courts in any such Proceeding and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest

extent permitted by Law, any objection that such Person may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, Action

or Proceeding in any such Chosen Court or that any such Proceeding brought in any such Chosen Court has been brought in an inconvenient

forum. Such Persons further covenant not to bring a Proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable

Matter) other than in such Chosen Court and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court. Process

in any such Proceeding may be served on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without

the jurisdiction of any such Chosen Court. Without limiting the foregoing, each such Person agrees that service of process on such party

as provided in Section 5.5 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Person. AS SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT

FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO

EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE

MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Services. APLD Parent shall provide the following services to the ChronoScale Group (collectively, the “Management Services”):

managerial and operational advice in connection with the day-to-day operations of the ChronoScale Group, including, without limitation,

advice with respect to the development and implementation of strategies for improving the operating, marketing and financial performance

of the ChronoScale Group; and

in connection with the negotiation and consummation of recapitalizations, restructurings, financings, refinancings, mergers, acquisitions,

(b) Corporate

Services. In addition to the Management Services, each Service Provider shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliates, subcontractors

or Third-Party Service Providers to, in each case pursuant to Section 3) provide each Service Recipient with the Corporate Services,

as applicable (as may be modified from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof) for the period of time set forth on Exhibit A with

respect to each Corporate Service and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and, as applicable, on Exhibit

(c) Additional

Corporate Services. If, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, ChronoScale becomes aware of any additional service

elect whether or not to amend Exhibit A to add such Additional Service on such terms, including the applicable Service Fee, as mutually

agreed by the Parties.

(d) Acknowledgement.

Each of the Parties acknowledge that APLD Parent is an indirect equityholder in ChronoScale. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees

that APLD Parent’s rights and obligations hereunder will be independent of its relationship as an indirect equityholder and that,

in performing the Services, neither APLD Parent nor any of its representatives, as applicable, are acting in the capacity as an equityholder

of the ChronoScale Group or as a director or officer of any member of the ChronoScale Group. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this

Agreement shall be construed to restrict the manner in which APLD Parent or any other member of the APLD Group conducts its business

operations or activities, except to the extent such entity is acting as a Service Provider under this Agreement.

(e) Legal

Prohibitions. No Service shall be provided by any Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that the provision of

(f) Intellectual

Property. The ChronoScale Group and its Affiliates (“Granting Party”) grants to the APLD Group and its Affiliates,

as applicable (“Grantee Party”) a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (other than to subcontractors or Third-Party

Service Providers solely to support each Grantee Party’s rights and obligations herein), non-assignable (except as set forth in

Section 9(f)), paid-up and royalty-free license to use and exercise all rights in the Granting Party’s Intellectual Property

Rights (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) that is created or invented prior to the end of the Term, solely to the extent necessary

for the performance of the Grantee Party’s obligations and enjoyment of the Grantee Party’s rights herein, including in connection

with the Grantee Party’s use of any deliverables created or invented herein after the end of the Term. Any Intellectual Property

Rights created or developed by a Service Recipient or Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement shall be owned by the Service Provider,

except to the extent it relates solely and exclusively to the Service Recipient’s business or otherwise agreed in writing. Except

as explicitly provided in this Agreement, no license or other right, express or implied, is granted hereunder by any Party to its Intellectual

Property Rights.

-4-

(g) Privacy.

Each Party will (and will cause its applicable Affiliates and Third Party Service Providers to) comply with all Data Protection Requirements

in connection with the Services provided or received hereunder. The Parties shall take all further actions and execute all further documents

as are reasonably necessary to effect such compliance, including the agreement in Exhibit C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

herein, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party under this Section 2(g) for any losses, damages, or claims except to

the extent arising from such Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Security

of IT Assets.

(i) If

a Party or its Affiliates or any of their or their Third Party Service Providers’ personnel (“Accessing Parties”)

is given access to another Party’s or its Affiliates’ IT Assets (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) (or any data stored

therein or processed thereby) in connection with the Services, the Accessing Parties shall comply in all material respects with all of

such other Party’s applicable security and operational policies and procedures provided in advance in writing (including electronically)

to such Accessing Parties (collectively, “Security Regulations”), and shall not knowingly tamper with or compromise

such IT Assets or knowingly circumvent any security, monitoring or audit measures employed by the other Party. The Accessing Party shall

access and use only those IT Assets of the other Party for which it has been granted the right to access and use and only to the extent

that such right has been granted. A Party shall be liable to the other Party for any access to IT Assets by any of its Accessing Parties

only to the extent resulting from such Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A party (y) shall report promptly to the

other Party any material non-compliance by any Accessing Parties with any Security Regulations of which it becomes aware, and (z) shall

promptly terminate the IT Assets access of any Accessing Party following written notice from the other Party, in the event that such

person has materially violated any Security Regulations.

(ii) Each

Party shall have the right to deny any Accessing Party access to its IT Assets upon written notice to the other Party in the event that

such Party reasonably believes that such personnel has materially violated Section 2(h)(i) or otherwise poses a material security

concern, as reasonably determined by such Party. The notified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in investigating

any apparent unauthorized access to such other Party’s IT Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Party

shall be liable to the other Party under this Section 2(h) for any losses, damages, or claims except to the extent arising from

such Party’s (or its Accessing Parties’) gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3. Service

Personnel. At all times during the performance of the Corporate Services, all Third Party Service Providers shall be in the employ

or under the sole direction and control of the applicable Service Provider or its Affiliates and shall be independent from the applicable

Service Recipient and its Affiliates and not employees of such Service Recipient and its Affiliates and shall not be entitled to any

payment, benefit or perquisite directly from such Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates on account of the provision of such Corporate

Services. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Service Provider subcontracts or assigns to a Third Party Service Provider its performance

of any Corporate Service, the fee payable by the Service Recipient shall not exceed the Corporate Service Fee that the Service Recipient

would have otherwise paid to the Service Provider for such Corporate Service unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.

-5-

4. Payment

Terms.

(a) Management

Services Fees.

(i) In

consideration for providing the Management Services, ChronoScale shall pay, or cause one or more of its subsidiaries to pay on a quarterly

basis in arrears within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, to APLD Parent, an amount equal to one percent (1%)

of the ChronoScale Group’s gross revenue for the applicable calendar quarter, calculated in accordance with GAAP (the “Management

Services Fees”).

(ii) Within

thirty (30) days following the completion of the ChronoScale Group’s annual audit, the APLD Parent and ChronoScale shall perform

a true-up of the Management Services Fees for such year by recalculating and comparing the aggregate Management Services Fees actually

paid for each quarter of such calendar year against the amount that would have been payable for such quarters based on actual annual

gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP). If the aggregate Management Services Fees previously paid for such calendar year

exceed such recalculated amount, the ChronoScale Group shall be entitled to a refund of, or a credit against future Management Services

Fees in the amount of, such excess, as determined by APLD Parent, which refund shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the completion

of such recalculation or which credit shall be applied dollar-for-dollar against the following payment of the Management Services Fees,

as applicable. If the aggregate Management Services Fees previously paid for such calendar year are less than the amount so recalculated,

the ChronoScale Group shall pay the amount of such shortfall to APLD Parent within thirty (30) days following the completion of such

recalculation.

(iii) Notwithstanding

the foregoing, APLD Parent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive all or any portion of the Management Services Fees from time

to time with respect to any specified period. Any such waiver shall apply only to the period expressly specified therein and shall not

constitute a waiver of APLD Parent’s right to receive the full Management Services Fees for any prior or subsequent period, nor

shall it be construed as a course of dealing or modification of this Agreement with respect to any future period.

(iv) In

the event this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason in accordance with Section 6, the Management Services Fees for

the calendar quarter in which such expiration or termination occurs shall be prorated based on the ChronoScale Group’s actual gross

revenues, determined in accordance with GAAP, for the portion of such calendar quarter elapsed through and including the date of such

expiration or termination. Such prorated Management Services Fees shall be due and payable to APLD Parent within thirty (30) days following

the date of such expiration or termination.

(b) Corporate

Services Fees.

(i) In

consideration for providing each of the Corporate Services, ChronoScale shall pay, or cause one or more of the Service Recipients to

pay, to APLD Parent or the applicable Service Provider, as APLD Parent shall direct, the applicable fees set forth on Exhibit A, as applicable,

or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, with respect to each Corporate Service (the “Corporate Services Fees”,

collectively with the Management Services Fees, the “Service Fees”).

-6-

(ii) Corporate

Service Fees shall be paid on a monthly basis as set forth in this Section 4(b) or as otherwise specified on Exhibit A, as applicable,

with respect to a particular Corporate Service. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including on Exhibit A), the applicable

Service Recipient shall be responsible for (x) the costs of any additional license fees, temporary right-to-use fees, royalties or other

amounts payable to any third Person, including Third Party Service Providers, (y) in accordance with Section 4(b)(iv) all sales,

excise, use, transfer, value added, goods and services taxes or other similar taxes and other fees and charges imposed by any governmental

body or regulatory authority (together with any interest, penalties or additions to tax imposed with respect thereto, but in each case

excluding any taxes based on or determined by reference to any Service Provider’s assets, receipts, capital or net income) arising

in connection with the sale, purchase, performance, provision or use of the applicable Corporate Services (collectively, the “Sales

Taxes”), and (z) all payroll, withholding or similar taxes imposed on the Service Provider or relating to the Corporate Service

Fees, including without limitation, the Stock Compensation Charges under Section 4(c). Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing,

any Corporate Service Fees will be billed and paid in U.S. Dollars. All Corporate Service Fees based on a monthly or other time basis

will be pro-rated based on actual days elapsed during the period of service.

(iii) If

any Sales Taxes are required by law to be collected by a Service Provider, (x) the applicable Service Provider will separately list such

Sales Taxes on the invoice delivered to the applicable Service Recipient in accordance with Section 4(b)(iv), detailing the applicable

Service Taxes and a calculation of the amount due, (y) such Service Recipient shall make payment to such Service Provider for the amount

of such Sales Taxes shown as due on such invoice, and (z) such Service Provider shall duly and timely pay such Sales Taxes to the applicable

governmental authority. If the applicable Service Provider receives from the applicable governmental authority a refund of Sales Taxes

that are borne by a Service Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, it shall promptly remit to the applicable Service Recipient, and in

no event later than thirty (30) days, the amount of such refund, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) incurred

by such Service Provider in connection with the receipt or pursuit of such refund. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in order

to reduce or eliminate Sales Taxes to the extent legally permissible, including but not limited to claiming exemptions where available.

(iv) ChronoScale

shall, or shall cause one or more the Service Recipients, to submit to APLD Parent a monthly invoice for the Corporate Service Fees,

including any Sales Taxes due and owing in accordance with this Section4 (b)(iv), that apply to the Corporate Services performed

following the end of each calendar month, provided, that to the extent any Sales Taxes are assessed or become due and owing following

such invoice period, such Sales Taxes may be submitted to the Service Recipient on a supplemental invoice as soon as commercially practicable,

in each case setting forth an itemized list of such Corporate Services and the Corporate Service Fees charged therefore in accordance

with the fee structure specified in the applicable Section of Exhibit A, as applicable, for each such Corporate Service. APLD Parent

shall, or shall cause one or more of the Service Providers to, provide such supporting documentation as the Service Recipient may reasonably

request. Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, as applicable, ChronoScale shall, or shall cause one or more the Service Recipients,

to, pay in full undisputed amounts due under this Agreement within thirty (30) days following receipt of the applicable invoice.

(c) RSU

Charge Recovery.

(i) Prior

to the Effective Date, APLD Parent made incentive payments in the form of APLD Parent restricted stock units denominated in shares of

APLD Parent common stock (“APLD RSUs”) or other APLD Parent equity-based awards to certain employees who provide services

in respect of its cloud computing business. To the extent that APLD Parent recognizes any stock-based compensation expense (including,

without limitation, any charge, cost, or accrual required under applicable accounting standards and all payroll, withholding or similar

taxes imposed in connection with such stock-based compensation) in connection with or arising from any such APLD RSUs following the Effective

Date (each such expense and related tax or withholding, a “Stock Compensation Charge”), ChronoScale shall, or shall

cause one or more of the Service Recipients, to reimburse APLD Parent for the full amount of each Stock Compensation Charge so recognized

in accordance with this Agreement.

-7-

(ii) APLD

Parent shall include in the monthly invoice for the Corporate Service Fees the amount of each Stock Compensation Charge and the period

during which it was recognized. Payment of the Stock Compensation Charges shall be in accordance with the terms set forth in Section

4(b)(ii); provided, however, APLD Parent shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the form of reimbursement

for the Stock Compensation Charges, which may include any one or a combination of the following: (a) a cash payment in immediately available

funds; (b) the issuance of shares of ChronoScale common stock to APLD Parent, with such shares valued at the lowest of the volume-weighted

average closing prices for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the applicable Stock Charge Notice; or (c) such

other method or form of consideration as APLD Parent may designate.

(iii) The

obligations set forth in this Section 4(c) shall continue in full force and effect for so long as APLD Parent continues to recognize

any Stock Compensation Charge with respect to any APLD RSUs, regardless of any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and shall

survive any such expiration or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, no vesting, forfeiture, or modification of any APLD RSU at any

time after the Effective Date, including in respect of APLD RSU’s for which a Stock Compensation Charge has already been paid to

APLD Parent, shall result in any right of repayment or recoupment by ChronoScale or any of its subsidiaries or relieve ChronoScale of

its obligation to reimburse APLD Parent for any Stock Compensation Charge actually recognized by APLD Parent in connection therewith.

(d) Disputes

and Resolution. Each Service Recipient shall promptly notify APLD Parent in writing of any amounts billed to the Service Recipient

for any Corporate Services or Stock Compensation Charges that are in Dispute. Upon receipt of such notice, ChronoScale and APLD Parent

shall resolve any such Dispute in accordance with the terms and procedures of Section 8. The Service Recipient shall pay the Corporate

Services Fees or Stock Compensation Charges payable for the applicable month, less the amount of any Corporate Service Fees in Dispute

in accordance with this Section 4(d), on or prior to the due date specified in Section 4(a) – (c). Promptly upon

the resolution of such Dispute (and in any event no more than five (5) days after the resolution of such Dispute, ChronoScale shall,

or shall cause one or more the Service Recipients, to, pay to APLD Parent or the applicable Service Provider, as APLD Parent shall direct,

the amount mutually agreed or otherwise determined in the resolution of such Dispute within thirty (30) days of resolution.

5. Other

Covenants.

(a) Indemnification.

Each member of the ChronoScale Group shall indemnify and hold each member of the APLD Group, and each of their respective directors,

managers, members, equityholders, officers, employees, controlling persons, and other representatives (the “Indemnified Parties”)

harmless from and against all injuries, losses, damages, liabilities (including liabilities for taxes), settlements, judgments, awards,

penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever form or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of legal defense

(collectively, “Damages”), any of them, may suffer, sustain or incur or become subject to, resulting from (i) a third

party claim brought against any of the members of the APLD Group that arises out of such member of the APLD Group’s or its applicable

Indemnified Parties’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in connection with any such Services or (ii) a breach of this

Agreement by a member of the ChronoScale Group, including, without limitation, any covenant contained herein, in each case, except to

the extent such Damages result from or arise out of the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of any such Indemnified Party.

-8-

(b) Limitation

on Liability.

(i) NOTWITHSTANDING

ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY MEMBER OF THE

APLD GROUP BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS

OR LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES OR LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM ANY ACT

OR OMISSION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES

OR LIABILITIES OR NOT. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, LIABILITIES FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 5(a)

RELATING TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF TEN PERCENT OF THE AGGREGATE SERVICE

FEES PAID THE APLD GROUP UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THIS SECTION 5 REPRESENTS AN AGREED UPON ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

WITHOUT THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK, NEITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

(iii) THE

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 5(b) WILL APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES OR LIABILITIES, HOWEVER CAUSED

AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER DERIVED FROM CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN

IF EITHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES OR LIABILITIES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER

THE LIMITED REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

(c) No

Express or Implied Warranties. Each Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, except

as expressly provided herein, NO APLD GROUP MEMBER IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE

SERVICES OR ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH CHRONOSCALE GROUP MEMBER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL SUCH

WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

(d) Confidentiality.

Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees and representatives

to, hold all proprietary and confidential information and documents relating to the business of any other Party disclosed to it by reason

of or in connection with this Agreement or any Services confidential, and will not disclose any of such information or documents to any

individual or entity without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party unless otherwise required by applicable law.

-9-

(e) Non-Recourse.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement may only be enforced against, and all Proceedings (whether

in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution

or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement

to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties hereto, and then only with

respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party and (ii) no Person who is not a named party to this Agreement,

including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent,

attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate of any of the aforementioned) (the “Non-Party

Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law, in equity, granted by statute or based upon

any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising

under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the

negotiation or execution hereof and each Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party

Affiliates to the maximum extent permitted by Law. The Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this

provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Party disclaims any reliance

on any Non-Party Affiliate with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection

with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

6. Term;

Termination.

(a) Term.

Unless otherwise provided on Exhibit A, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue in full force and

effect for an initial period of twelve (12) months (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically

renew for successive one (1) month periods (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless either Party provides written notice of

non-renewal to the other Party at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or at least twenty (20) days prior

to the expiration of the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated earlier

pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6(b). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to individual Services, the term of

such Service (each, a “Service Term”) will commence on the Effective Date and shall expire and terminate upon the

termination date specified for such Service in Exhibit A, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6(b) (the last date in

each such Service Term is referred to herein as the “Service Termination Date” for each of such Services).

(b) Early

Termination.

(i) This

Agreement may be terminated by APLD Parent at any time by providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to ChronoScale. The

provision of one or more of the Corporate Services provided hereunder may be terminated by APLD Parent at any time.

(ii) Prior

to the end of a Term, either APLD Parent or ChronoScale may (i) upon any material default or material breach of this Agreement by the

other Party that is not cured within thirty (30) days after the alleged breaching Party’s receipt of written notice from the non-breaching

Party describing the nature of such default or breach, immediately terminate the Services affected by such material default or material

breach, or (ii) upon written notice to the other Party, terminate this Agreement in its entirety if the other Party makes an assignment

for the benefit of creditors, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or is petitioned into bankruptcy, or takes advantage of any state, Federal

or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency act, or if a receiver or receiver/manager is appointed for all or any substantial part of its property

and business and such receiver or receiver/manager remains undischarged for a period of fifteen (15) days.

(c) Status

as an Affiliate. As a result of any restructuring of APLD Parent or ChronoScale, any direct or indirect change in control of APLD

Parent or ChronoScale (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) or any other transaction involving the sale, assignment or other

transfer of any capital stock of APLD Parent or ChronoScale or any assets of APLD Parent or ChronoScale, APLD Parent shall have the right,

but not the obligation, to immediately terminate this Agreement.

-10-

(d) Effect

of Termination.

(i) Termination

of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to an individual Corporate Service shall not release any Party from any liability,

the continuing duty to provide those Corporate Services or portions thereof that have not been terminated, or any other obligation that

already has accrued as of the effective date of termination (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Service Provider’s rights

to receive or the respective Service Recipient’s obligations to pay the Corporate Service Fees for such Corporate Services performed,

prior to and through the date of termination of this Agreement) and shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed

to adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims which a Party may have hereunder at Law, in equity or otherwise or which may raise

out of or in connection with such termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement or any Corporate Service for any reason,

all applicable rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to this Agreement (or such Service, as applicable), will immediately

cease and terminate, and no Party will have any further obligation to the other Party with respect to this Agreement (or such Corporate

Service, as applicable), except that no such termination shall relieve any Party hereto of (x) any liability for Damages resulting from

a breach by such Party of this Agreement prior to the termination hereof, (y) any obligation to pay Sales Taxes accrued but unpaid as

of the date of such termination for the Corporate Service performed prior to such termination as required by law or (z) any obligation

to pay Service Fees accrued but unpaid as of the date of such termination for the Corporate Service performed prior to such termination.

(ii) For

the avoidance of doubt, the termination of any individual Corporate Service pursuant to this Section 6 shall not affect (x) the

provision of such Corporate Service by such Service Provider to any other Service Recipient, (y) the provision of any other Corporate

Service by such Service Provider, or (z) the receipt of any other Corporate Service to which such Service Recipient is otherwise entitled

to receive hereunder.

(e) Survival.

The provisions of Section 4(a), Section 4(b), Section 4(c), Section 5, Section 6(d), this Section

6(e), Section 8 and Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

7. Force

Majeure and Service Interruptions.

(a) Force

Majeure. Except for payment amounts then due, neither Party nor any of such Party’s Affiliates and its and their respective

officers, directors, managers, equityholders, employees, Third Party Service Providers, agents and representatives shall be liable to

the other Party (and shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement) for any interruption of Services, or any delay or default in the

provision or performance of any Services by it hereunder to the extent such interruption, delay or default is caused by matters or events

that are beyond its control, including any act of God, war, civil commotion, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire,

earthquake, or storm, labor disturbance, epidemic or pandemic, or failure of suppliers, public utilities or common carriers (each, a

“Force Majeure Event”). The applicable Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Force Majeure

Event affecting such Party and causing any delay or default in the provision or performance of any Service by it hereunder and the probable

extent to which such Service Provider shall be unable to perform, and the affected Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate

and remove such Force Majeure as promptly as practicable in order to resume performance. The unaffected Party shall have no obligation

hereunder (including no obligation to pay applicable Service Fees) with respect to the obligations the affected Party is unable to perform

due to the Force Majeure Event. Upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event, the Parties will promptly resume performance of their

obligations under this Agreement. If a Force Majeure Event prevents a Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement for

more than thirty (30) consecutive days, the other Party shall have the right to terminate the affected Services upon written notice.

-11-

(b) Corporate

Service Interruptions. In the event of any interruption, shut down or suspension of Corporate Services provided by or on behalf of

a Service Provider, including due to a Force Majeure Event, such Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to afford

the applicable Service Recipient the benefit of any arrangements for substitute services that such Service Provider makes on its own

behalf, and shall consult with the Service Recipient prior to any such interruptions, shut downs or suspensions to the extent reasonably

practicable or, if not reasonably practicable, reasonably promptly thereafter in order to establish reasonable alternative arrangements

for such Corporate Services as necessary in order to avoid unreasonable disruption to the conduct of the Business. In the event of any

interruption, shut down or suspension, and to the extent reasonable substitute services are not provided to the Service Recipient or

otherwise commercially or technically reasonable or feasible, the applicable Service Recipient may obtain replacement services at the

Service Recipient’s sole cost and expense from a third party for the duration of such interruption, shut down or suspension or

for such longer period as the Service Recipient shall be reasonably required to commit to in order to obtain such replacement services.

8. Dispute

Resolution.

(a) Legal

Action. If the Service Recipient disputes any invoice or other request for payment acting reasonably and in good faith, the Service

Recipient shall immediately notify APLD Parent in writing. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the relevant

dispute promptly. APLD Parent shall provide all such evidence as may be commercially reasonably necessary to verify the disputed invoice

or request for payment. If the Parties have not resolved a dispute under this Section 8 within 30 days of the Recipient giving

notice to the Provider, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9(h) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in

writing. Where only part of an invoice is disputed in accordance with this Section 8, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the

due date as set out in Section 4. The APLD Group’s obligations, if any, to provide the Services shall not be affected by

any payment dispute, including its obligations to provide the Services to which the payment dispute relates.

(b) Disputed

Services. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising solely and exclusively out of or relating to this Agreement (a

“Dispute”) with respect to the provision, termination or reduction of any Service (such Service, a “Disputed

Service”), including, without limitation, subject to Section 6(b)(ii), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Service Provider shall continue to provide any Disputed Service necessary for such Service

Provider or the applicable Service Recipient to comply with applicable law, as reasonably determined by APLD Parent, in its sole and

absolute discretion, for the pendency of any such Dispute. Any Services Fees payable with respect to any such Disputed Service shall

be payable in accordance with Section 4(c).

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices.

All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or

sent by electronic mail (in the case of electronic mail, to be effective with a copy sent by any other method permitted hereunder or

when the receiving party confirms receipt of such notice sent by electronic mail) or sent, postage prepaid, by registered, certified

or express mail or reputable overnight courier service and shall be deemed given when so delivered by hand or electronic mail (in the

case of electronic mail, to be effective with a copy sent by any other method permitted hereunder or when the receiving party confirms

receipt of such notice sent by electronic mail), or if mailed, three (3) days after mailing (or one (1) Business Day in the case of express

mail or overnight courier service), as set forth on Exhibit B.

-12-

(b) Independent

Contractor Status. The relationship among the Parties established under this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing

in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any Party the agent of any other Party or to create a partnership or joint venture among the

Parties for any purpose whatsoever. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Party will have any right, power or authority to create

any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party nor, by virtue of this Agreement, will either Party act or represent

or hold itself out as having authority to act as an agent or partner of the other Party, or in any way bind or commit the other Party

to any obligations. Each Party shall at all times retain exclusive management and control over its officers, employees, policy decisions

and business operations. The employees of each Party shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, be considered employees of any other Party

for any purpose and each Party shall remain solely responsible for all liabilities, costs, expenses and other obligations related to

its respective employees, including but not limited to the payment of salary and wages, any termination and severance costs and any payroll

or employment-related or similar taxes, assessments or charges.

(c) Cooperation

of Service Recipients. Each Service Recipient shall cooperate diligently with the respective Service Provider by promptly providing

all information reasonably necessary and reasonably requested by such Service Provider for the performance of the Services. Should any

Service Recipient’s failure to supply such requested information render performance of any Services unreasonably impracticable,

the respective Service Provider providing such Services may pursue dispute resolution pursuant to Section 8 hereof and, during

the pendency of such dispute resolution, provide such Services solely to the extent feasible in the absence of such requested information

until such requested information is provided.

(d) Nonexclusivity

of Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Service Provider from

providing any Service to its own businesses or to any other individual or entity or their respective businesses.

(e) Amendment;

Waiver. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, terminated or waived only with the written consent of ChronoScale and APLD Parent.

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon the Parties hereto and their successors

and permitted assigns.

(f) Successors

and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder are not assignable (whether by

operation of Law or otherwise) unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the other Parties hereto; provided, that no

such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure

to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied,

is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations

or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in Section 5(a) and Section 5(e) of this

Agreement.

(g) Interpretation.

The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting

this Agreement.

(h) Governing

Law. This Agreement and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

the laws of the State of Delaware in all respects as such laws are applied to agreements among Delaware residents entered into and performed

entirely within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of law principles thereof that would result in the application

of any other Laws. The Parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Court

of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court refuses or otherwise declines to exercise jurisdiction, the state courts of Delaware

or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) for the purpose

of any Legal Proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any Legal Proceeding arising out of or

based upon this Agreement except in the Chosen Courts and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense,

or otherwise, in any such Legal Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, that

the Legal Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Legal Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or

the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

-13-

(i) Waiver

of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,

ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS

OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER

ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION

OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF

THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(j) Severability.

If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise

unenforceable for any reason whatsoever (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including,

without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,

that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable

to the fullest extent permitted by law and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without

limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,

that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

(k) Delays

or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach

or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting

Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach

or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default

theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any

breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must

be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement

or by law, or otherwise afforded to any Party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

(l) Entire

Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement

between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(m) Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together

shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic

signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart

so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

be removed with the consent of the APLD Designator, delivered in accordance with Section 5.13 hereof, or by the stockholders in

accordance with applicable Law.

(c)

In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by death, disability, retirement, removal (with or without cause and subject to Section

the same, including, without limitation, actions to effect an increase in the Total Number of Directors.

Number of Directors to greater than seven (7) shall require the prior written consent of the APLD Designator, delivered in accordance

with Section 5.13 hereof and (ii) in no event shall any decrease in the Total Number of Directors, in any instance, eliminate,

abridge, or otherwise modify the right of (A) the APLD Designator to designate APLD Designees in accordance with Section 2.2(a),

without the consent of the APLD Designator delivered in accordance with Section 5.13 hereof.

Section

2.3 Compensation. Except to the extent the APLD Designator may otherwise notify the Company with respect to the APLD Designees,

each APLD Designee shall be entitled to compensation consistent with the Director compensation received by other Directors, including

any fees and equity awards, provided, that (x) to the extent any Director compensation is payable in the form of equity awards, at the

election of an APLD Designee that is an employee or affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of an APLD Investor,

in lieu of any equity award, such compensation shall be paid in an amount of cash equal to the value of the equity award as of the date

of the award, with any such cash subject to the same vesting terms, if any, as the equity awarded to other Directors and (y) at the election

of an APLD Designee that is an employee or affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of an APLD Investor, any

Director compensation (whether cash, equity awards and/or cash in lieu of equity as may be designated by the electing APLD Designee)

shall be paid to an APLD Investor or an Affiliate thereof specified by such APLD Designee rather than to such APLD Designee. If the Company

adopts a policy that Directors own a minimum amount of equity in the Company, any APLD Designee that is an employee or affiliate of an

APLD Investor shall not be subject to such policy unless otherwise determined by the APLD Designator in its sole discretion.

Board are entitled. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall, (i) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify,

exculpate, and reimburse fees and expenses of the APLD Designees to the same extent it indemnifies, exculpates, reimburses and provides

director or similar legal requirement or (ii) issuances to the Company or another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company. Furthermore,

the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall not apply to any Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means the valid

issuance, subject to compliance with applicable Law and Section 2.7 hereof, of shares of the Company’s Equity Securities

to employees, officers, directors or other service providers of the Company pursuant to duly adopted employee benefit plans, equity incentive

plans or other employee compensation plans, or other arrangements permitted by any equity plan duly adopted for such purpose.

(e)

Termination. The covenants set forth in this Section 4.3 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the

closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event.

12

Section

4.4 Registration Rights.

(a)

Registration Statement.

(i)

Promptly following the Effective

Date but no later than July 2, 2026 (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the

SEC one Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities which, for the avoidance of doubt, may also

register the sale or issuance of primary securities. Subject to any SEC comments, such Registration Statement shall include the plan

of distribution, substantially in the form and substance, set forth in Part III of each APLD Investor’s Selling Stockholder

Questionnaire, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex I; provided, however, that no APLD Investor

shall be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without such APLD Investor’s prior written consent.

Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder

(including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or

similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common

Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of the APLD Designator; provided, however,

that such Registration Statement may include up to 15,389 Warrant Shares (as defined in the Lake Street Warrant) issuable to Lake Street

Capital Markets, LLC (“Lake Street”) upon the exercise of that certain Placement Agent Stock Purchase Warrant issued

to Lake Street on October 30, 2025 (the “Lake Street Warrant”). Such Registration Statement (and each amendment

or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section

4.4(f)(iii) to each APLD Investor prior to its filing or other submission.

(ii)

The Registration Statement

referred to in Section 4.4(a)(i) shall be on Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the

resale of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other

form as is available to the Company and (ii) so long as the Registrable Securities remain outstanding, promptly following the date

(the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to

register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification

Deadline”), file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment

on Form S-3 to a registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and use commercially reasonable

efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that the

Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement

covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

13

(b)

Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with the Registration Statement, including filing and printing fees, the

Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable

state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers

or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold. The Company shall not be responsible

for legal fees incurred by the APLD Investors of the Registrable Securities in connection with the performance of its rights and obligations

under this Agreement or the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

(c)

Effectiveness.

(i)

The Company shall use commercially

reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof,

but in any case on or prior to the 30th calendar day following the Filing Deadline (or the 60th calendar day if the SEC reviews the

Registration Statement) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). By 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second Business Day following

the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC, in accordance with

Rule 424 under the Securities Act, the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Company shall notify the APLD Investors by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours,

after the Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the APLD Investors with access to a copy of

any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby to the extent

a copy of such Prospectus has not been publicly filed with the SEC.

(ii)

Notwithstanding anything

to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company shall not be required to request effectiveness of the Registration Statement, for

a period of up to sixty (60) days, if (A) the Company determines in good faith that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company

and its stockholders generally due to a pending transaction involving the Company (including a pending securities offering by the Company,

or any proposed financing, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other

significant transaction involving the Company), (B) the Company determines such registration would render the Company unable to comply

with applicable securities laws, (C) the Company determines such registration would require disclosure of material information that

the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (D) audited financial statements as of a date other

than the fiscal year end of the Company would be required to be prepared; and (ii) the Company may, upon written notice to any holder

of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, suspend the use of the Registration Statement, including any Prospectus

that forms a part of the Registration Statement, if the Company (X) determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material

information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (Y) the

Company determines it must amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement

or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein

or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made,

not misleading or (Z) the Company has experienced or is experiencing some other material non-public event, including a pending transaction

involving the Company, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the

Company; provided, however, in no event shall holders of Registrable Securities be suspended from selling Registrable

Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period that exceeds 45 consecutive Trading Days or 90 total Trading Days in

any 365-day period (any such suspension contemplated by this Section 4.4(c)(ii), an “Allowed Delay”) provided,

that the Company shall promptly (1) notify each APLD Investor in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without

the prior written consent of each APLD Investor) disclose to such APLD Investor any material nonpublic information giving rise

to an Allowed Delay (it being understood that the notice of suspension may constitute material nonpublic information), (2) advise the

APLD Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (3) use commercially

reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination

of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to holders whose Registrable Securities are included in the

Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable

actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated hereby.

14

(d)

Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in

the Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities

Act (provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC

for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance

and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires any APLD Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall (i)

promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof and (ii) make commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that

the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the

issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that no APLD Investor is an “underwriter.” No such written submission with

respect to this matter shall be made to the SEC to which the APLD Investors’ counsel reasonably objects. In the event that,

despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 4.4(d), the SEC refuses

to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut

Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities

as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”);

provided, however, that the Company shall not name any APLD Investor as an “underwriter” in the Registration

Statement without the prior written consent of such APLD Investor. Any cut-back imposed on any APLD Investor pursuant to this

Section 4.4(d) shall be allocated among the APLD Investors (if more than one APLD Investor) on a pro rata basis and shall be applied

first to any of the Registrable Securities of such APLD Investor as such APLD Investor shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise

require or provide or such APLD Investor otherwise agrees. In furtherance of the foregoing, the APLD Investors shall provide

the Company with prompt written notice of its sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement

such that the Company will be able to file one or more additional Registration Statements covering the Cut Back Shares. From and after

the date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable

to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”), all of the provisions of this Section

4.4 (including the Company’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use

its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein)

shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline for such Registration

Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be fifteen (15) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date

by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 30th calendar day immediately

after the Restriction Termination Date (or the 60th calendar day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).

(e)

Other Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, with respect to any

APLD Investor (as to such APLD Investor only) the Filing Deadline and the Effectiveness Deadline for the Registration Statement shall

be extended and any failure to obtain or maintain effectiveness shall be automatically waived by no action of such APLD Investor,

in each case, without default by the Company to such APLD Investor hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to make such

filing or obtain or maintain such effectiveness results from the failure of such APLD Investor to timely provide the Company with information

requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act

(in which case any such deadline would be extended with respect to all Registrable Securities until such time as the APLD Investors

provide such requested information), it being understood that the failure of such APLD Investor to timely provide such information

to the Company shall not affect the rights of other APLD Investors, if any, herein.

(f)

Company Obligations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities

pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(i) in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as

possible:

(i)

use commercially reasonable

efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective until such time as there are no

longer Registrable Securities held by the APLD Investors (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the APLD

Investors promptly in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

(ii)

prepare and file with the

SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus as may be necessary to keep

the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange

Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

(iii)

provide via email to the

APLD Investors who have supplied the Company with email addresses the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements

thereto not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to their filing with the SEC and reflect in each such document when so filed with

the SEC such comments regarding the APLD Investors and the plan of distribution as the APLD Investors may reasonably

and promptly propose no later than two (2) Trading Days after the APLD Investors have been so furnished with copies of such

documents as aforesaid;

15

(iv)

furnish to any APLD

Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed

with the SEC, if requested by such APLD Investor, one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary

prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC

or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to the Registration

Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment),

and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and

such other documents as each APLD Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities

owned by such APLD Investor (it being understood and agreed that such documents, or access thereto, may be provided electronically);

(v)

use commercially reasonable

efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain

the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

(vi)

prior to any public offering

of Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to assist or cooperate with the APLD Investors and the APLD Investors’

counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the securities

or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions reasonably requested by the APLD Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable

acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the public offering or distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities

covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith

or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but

for this Section 4.4(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject

but for this Section 4.4(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(vii)

use commercially reasonable

efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (or the

primary securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which the Common Stock is then listed);

(viii)

promptly notify the APLD

Investors, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event

as a result of which, the Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (provided

that such notice shall not, without the prior written consent of the APLD Investors, disclose any material non-public information

regarding the Company, with the APLD Investors acknowledging that the notice itself may constitute material non-public

information), and as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an

amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or

omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of

the circumstances then existing;

16

(ix)

otherwise use commercially

reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including,

without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with

the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the APLD Investors in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness

Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the APLD Investors are required

to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably

necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon

as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of

at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy

the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection

3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective

date of the Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year,

“Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter);

(x)

if requested by any

APLD Investor, (i) as soon as reasonably practicable, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information

as the APLD Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,

without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being

paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as reasonably

practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters

to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable, supplement

or make amendments to the Registration Statement if reasonably requested by a APLD Investor holding any Registrable Securities; and

(xi)

with a view to making available

to the APLD Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may

at any time permit each such APLD Investor to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants

and agrees to use its best efforts to: (i) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood

and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without

restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as there are no longer

Registrable Securities; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the

Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish electronically to such APLD Investor upon request, as long as such APLD Investor owns any Registrable

Securities, (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of

the Exchange Act, (B) unless otherwise available via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, a copy of or electronic access to the Company’s

most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested

in order to avail such APLD Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities

without registration.

17

(g)

Due Diligence Review; Information. If any APLD Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in

the Registration Statement as an “underwriter,” the Company shall, upon reasonable prior notice, make available, during normal

business hours, for inspection and review by such APLD Investor, advisors to and representatives of such APLD Investor

(who may or may not be affiliated with such APLD Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company) (collectively, the

“Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and all other corporate documents and properties of the

Company (collectively, the “Records”) as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the

Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested

by the Inspectors (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any

of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling

such APLD Investor and its accountants and attorneys to conduct such initial and ongoing due diligence solely for the purpose of establishing

a due diligence defense to underwriter liability under the Securities Act; provided, however, that each Inspector shall

agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to such APLD Investor) or use of any Record or other information

which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a)

the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or is otherwise

required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from

a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the

public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or the Contribution and Exchange Agreement. Each APLD Investor

agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction

or through other means, except in the case such Records are sought in the course of an ordinary examination or inspection of the business

or operations of such APLD Investor or its Affiliates by such governmental body of competent jurisdiction, give prompt notice to the

Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order

for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any APLD

Investor) shall be deemed to limit any APLD Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise

consistent with applicable laws and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information

to any APLD Investor, or to advisors to or representatives of any such APLD Investor, unless prior to disclosure of such

information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides such APLD Investor, such

advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and such

APLD Investor, if wishing to obtain such information, enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect

thereto.

18

(h)

Obligations of each APLD Investor.

(i)

Each

APLD Investor shall execute and deliver a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire prior to the Effective Date. Each APLD Investor

shall additionally furnish in writing to the Company such other information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it

and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration

of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably

request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall

notify each APLD Investor of the additional information the Company reasonably requires from such APLD Investor if such APLD Investor

elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement (the “Registration Information Notice”).

Each such APLD Investor shall provide such information to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt

of a Registration Information Notice if such APLD Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration

Statement. It is agreed and understood that it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration

pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each APLD Investor that (i) such APLD Investor furnish

to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the

Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable

Securities, and (ii) such APLD Investor executes such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably

request, including, without limitation, a waiver of its registration rights hereunder to the extent any such APLD Investor elects

not to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

(ii)

Each

APLD Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the

Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such APLD Investor has notified

the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.

(iii)

Each

APLD Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant

to Section 4.4(c)(ii)or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 4.4(f)(viii) hereof, such APLD Investor will

immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities,

until such APLD Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

(iv)

Each

APLD Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable

to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

19

(i)

Indemnification.

(i)

Indemnification by the

Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each APLD Investor and its officers, directors, members, managers,

partners, trustees and employees, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls such APLD Investor (within the

meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers,

trustees and employees of each such controlling Person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and expenses (including

reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney fees), joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act

or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration

Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof or (ii) any violation by the Company

or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to

action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration, and will reimburse each APLD Investor, and

each such officer, director, member, employee and each such controlling person for any legal or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket

expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action

in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that

any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission

or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished to the Company by an indemnified person in writing specifically

for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the use by such APLD Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus

after the Company has notified such APLD Investor in writing that such Prospectus is outdated or defective or (iii) such APLD

Investor’s failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required (and

not exempted) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written

confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities.

(ii)

Indemnification by the

APLD Investors. The APLD Investors agree to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by

law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of

the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket

attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the

Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements

therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information

regarding any such APLD Investor and furnished in writing by such APLD Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion

in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of any APLD

Investor be greater than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such APLD Investor in connection with

a claim relating to this Section 4.4(i)(ii) and the amount of any damages such APLD Investor has otherwise been required

to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such APLD Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities

included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

20

(iii)

Conduct of Indemnification

Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim

with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel

reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have

the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket

fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees

or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory

to such person, or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest

exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying

party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party

shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further that the

failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder,

except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any

such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction,

be liable for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for

all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably

withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional

term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim

or litigation.

(iv)

Contribution. If for

any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (i) and (ii) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient

to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or

payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect

the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No

person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution

from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable

Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with

any claim relating to this Section 4.4(i) and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason

of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities

giving rise to such contribution obligation.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section

5.1 Termination. Subject to the early termination of any provision as a result of an amendment to this Agreement agreed to by

the Board and the APLD Investors, as provided under Section 5.3, and except for Section 4.4 hereof, this Agreement, excluding

RELEASE

Applied

Digital Completes Separation of Cloud Business, Establishing ChronoScale as Independent Public Company

● ChronoScale to begin trading on Nasdaq under ticker CHRN

● Applied Digital to retain approximately 97% ownership and invest $15.75 million at closing

DALLAS

— May 5, 2026 — Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: APLD), a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably

engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking, and blockchain workloads, today announced

the closing of its previously disclosed transaction to contribute its cloud business to EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (“EKSO”).

As a result, the cloud business became a wholly owned subsidiary of EKSO and EKSO changed its name to ChronoScale Corporation (“ChronoScale”).

ChronoScale will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, under the ticker “CHRN” and under a

new CUSIP number, 170924104.

Applied

Digital was issued approximately 138 million shares of ChronoScale common stock for the contribution of its cloud business. In addition,

Applied Digital invested $15.75 million in cash in ChronoScale for an additional approximately 1.4 million shares of ChronoScale common

stock priced at market in a private placement offering, which closed concurrently with the contribution transaction. Following the closing,

Applied Digital owns approximately 97% of the outstanding shares of ChronoScale common stock.

Formed

through this strategic combination of Applied Digital’s cloud business and EKSO, ChronoScale will operate as an accelerated compute

platform purpose-built to support demanding artificial intelligence workloads designed to deliver scalable, GPU-based infrastructure

optimized for AI training, inference, and high-performance computing. Focused on large-scale deployments, ChronoScale will provide dedicated

compute environments engineered for performance, consistency, and long-term operational execution, with the ability to scale capacity

in line with accelerating AI demand and increasing utilization across the market. In addition, the legacy EKSO business will also continue

to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of ChronoScale.

“This

transaction reflects a deliberate step in how we structure the business,” said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital.

“Our data center hosting platform is built on long-duration contracts and predictable infrastructure returns, while the cloud compute

layer operates on shorter cycles with a different risk profile. We believe separating these businesses allows each to be capitalized

and scaled appropriately.”

Cummins

continued, “Applied Digital remains focused on delivering large-scale AI infrastructure with stable, long-term cash flows. At the

same time, we believe ChronoScale is positioned to participate in the growth of the cloud compute layer, where we expect demand to continue

to accelerate and capacity to remain constrained, which we expect to support strong utilization and favorable pricing dynamics. This

structure is intended to allow both businesses to pursue their respective opportunities while giving investors clear exposure to each.”

The

transaction comes as demand for AI infrastructure continues to increase, with cloud compute platforms experiencing rising utilization

and evolving workload requirements. As a result, ChronoScale is expected to operate with greater flexibility to access capital, expand

capacity, and pursue growth opportunities independently.

Lowenstein

Sandler LLP acted as legal advisor to Applied Digital. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosatti LLP acted as legal advisor to EKSO, and

Lake Street served as financial advisor to EKSO.
