Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 15, 2022, BitNile, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("BitNile") and wholly
owned subsidiary of BitNile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") and Order
Form (the "Order Form" and together with the Master Agreement, the "Hosting
Documents") with Compute North LLC ("Compute North") providing for the hosting
by Compute North of Bitcoin miners owned by BitNile.
Pursuant to the Hosting Documents, Compute North will host 6,500 S19j Pro
Antminers (the "Miners") owned by BitNile for a period of five (5) years (the
"Term"). BitNile agreed to pay a fee per kilowatt hour for the Miners (the
"Monthly Service Fee"), together with a monthly package fee per Miner. The
Monthly Service Fee is payable based on the actual hashrate performance of the
Miners, of which 70% of the anticipated Monthly Service Fee is payable in
advance, and the remaining Monthly Service Fee, if any, will be invoiced in
arrears.
Under the Master Agreement, BitNile granted Compute North a continuing
first-position security interest in the Miners, as collateral for BitNile's
obligations under the Hosting Documents. Upon an event of default (as defined in
the Master Agreement) by BitNile, Compute North has the right to terminate the
Hosting Documents and BitNile is obligated to pay to Compute North all amounts
then due under the Hosting Documents, together with a fee as liquidated damages,
equal to the amount of fees that BitNile would have been required to pay through
the end of the Term.
The foregoing descriptions of the Master Agreement and Order Form do not purport
to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to their
respective forms which are annexed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by
reference. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the
rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and such descriptions are
qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
