Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement, and all references herein to the Agreement shall mean the Agreement as hereby amended;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Buyer further agrees that Seller shall be entitled to communicate directly with Duke Energy concerning the foregoing and shall provide to Duke Energy whatever authorization Duke Energy may require to allow direct communications between Seller and Duke Energy.

Buyer agrees that if either (A) Buyer defaults in its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth in the preceding paragraph, or (B) by no later than two (2) years after the Closing Date: (i) Duke Energy provides an ESA on commercially reasonable terms without unreasonable infrastructure costs requiring contribution from Buyer and pricing consistent with comparable filed rates that similarly situated data center electric customers would accept for the provision of 99 megawatts to the Property within such two (2) year period of the Closing Date; or (ii) the Property is actually receiving 99 megawatts, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of Eight Million and No/100 Dollars (USD $8,000,000.00) within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any of (A) through (B) above. |
2.4.2 |
Buyer agrees that if neither of the events described in (A) or (B) of Section 2.4.1 occurs within the two (2) year period immediately following the Closing Date, and thereafter but not later than three (3) years after the Closing Date (x) Duke Energy provides an ESA on commercially reasonable terms without unreasonable infrastructure costs requiring contribution from Buyer and pricing consistent with comparable filed rates that similarly situated data center electric customers would accept for the provision of 99 megawatts to the Property within three (3) years of the Closing Date; or (y) the Property is actually receiving 99 megawatts, |
2
Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars (USD $5,000,000.00) within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of (x) or (y) above. In the event that none of the conditions described in Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 have occurred within three (3) years from the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any amounts to the Seller under Sections 2.4.1 or 2.4.2. |
2.4.3 |
Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain electric service beyond the 99 megawatts contemplated in the preceding paragraphs. Buyer agrees that for each additional megawatt of service above 99 megawatts to the Property (x) for which Duke Energy provides an ESA on commercially reasonable terms without unreasonable infrastructure costs requiring contribution from Buyer and pricing consistent with comparable filed rates that similarly situated data center electric customers would accept; or (y) which the Property is actually receiving, in each case on or before four (4) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (USD $200,000.00) per megawatt over 99 megawatts, up to a maximum payment pursuant to this paragraph of Five Million and No/100 Dollars (USD $5,000,000) (the Bonus Cap). Such amount(s) shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of (x) or (y) above (it being understood that Buyer may have to make multiple payments over the course of the four (4) year duration of this Section 2.4.3 if there are multiple occurrences of the events described in (x) and (y) above). Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any amounts to Seller: (i) for capacity over 99 megawatts that is not achieved as provided in this Section 2.4.3 within four (4) years of the Closing Date; or (ii) in excess of the Bonus Cap. The obligations of Buyer to Seller under this Section 2.4.3 are independent of the obligations under Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2. |
