(vi)the maximum rate per hour of virtualized instance of compute and/or other maximum dollar amounts that will be payable for each of the Services to be performed under such Order for IR or an IR Client or such other dollar amount that will represent a maximum on the aggregate Service Fees payable in respect of such Services (the “Maximum Services Fees”) so long as no subsequent revisions are made to the applicable Order (including adding Services or changes to the Minimum Performance Metrics);

From and after the Effective Date, for each Order executed during the Term (as defined below), Xxxxxxxxx will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to IR and/or the IR Clients (as applicable and specified in such Order) access to graphics processing units (“GPUs”) and other data center services on the terms specified in such Order (collectively, the “Services”).
(b)Service Standards. Xxxxxxxxx represents, covenants and agrees that it shall provide the Services hereunder in a high quality and professional manner (which, at minimum, shall conform to prevailing industry standard and industry best practices applicable to such Services at the time of delivery), and shall at all times perform all Services and handle all IR and IR Client data provided hereunder or to which it may have access hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all applicable data protection and data security legislation. In the event that IR becomes aware of any events, facts or conditions that IR in good faith and reasonably believes constitute a breach of the foregoing by Xxxxxxxxx (each a “Potential Standards Breach”), IR shall deliver written notice of such Potential Standards Breach to Xxxxxxxxx, describing such Potential Standards Breach in reasonable detail, and Xxxxxxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure or otherwise remedy such Potential Standards Breach. If Xxxxxxxxx shall fail to so cure or otherwise remedy such Potential Standards Breach, as determined by IR in its good faith discretion (an “Uncured Standards Breach”), then IR shall have the right to immediately terminate any outstanding Orders with respect to which there exists an Uncured Standards Breach.
4.Payments; Deposit.
(a)Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, IR agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Xxxxxxxxx all amounts due and payable under each Invoice (as defined below) in accordance with the payment terms specified in such Order, including for the avoidance of doubt, the deadline by which amounts under each Invoice are due and payable (the “Payment Deadline”).
2
(b)IR further agrees that, for each Order, and prior to Xxxxxxxxx being required to deliver Services thereunder, IR will pay, or cause to be paid, the Deposit specified in such Order. Such Deposit, when paid, shall be deemed to be a prepayment on account of the Services to be delivered under such Order and shall be applied by Xxxxxxxxx as a prepayment against all amounts due from IR on the applicable Invoice.

5.Invoices.
(a)For each calendar month during which any Services are delivered (each such month, a “Service Month”), Xxxxxxxxx shall deliver to IR an invoice (each, an “Invoice”) by not later than the Invoice Deadline specified in the applicable Order.
(b)Each Invoice shall set forth, for the applicable Service Month:
(i)the aggregate gross amount due and payable by IR on account of Services delivered during such Service Month (such gross amount, the “Service Fees”), detailing the portion of such Service Fee Amount that represents (A) the IR Service Fee (as defined in Schedule 1), if any, and (B) IR Client Service Fee (as defined in Schedule 1), if any;
(ii)the amount of the Deposit previously paid by IR in respect of the Services delivered during such Service Month, reflected as a credit against the Services Fees for such Service Month;
(iii)the Profit Share Amount (as defined in Schedule 1), if any, to be credited to IR for such Service Month in accordance with Schedule 1; and
(iv)the final net amount, after applying each of the foregoing amounts, due and payable by IR, for such Service Month.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Service Fees payable for any given Order (whether billed on one or across multiple Invoices) shall not exceed the Maximum Service Fees, if any, specified in such Order.
(d)Each Invoice delivered to IR shall be accompanied by an accounting of each item of Internal Cost and Out of Pocket Cost included in such Invoice, including a reasonable description of each.
6.Disputed Invoices.
(a)From and after delivery of an Invoice to IR, IR shall have the right to dispute any specific item or items set forth in such Invoice by delivering to Xxxxxxxxx a notice in writing (each such notice, a “Dispute Notice”) identifying the specific item or items (including amounts) being disputed (each such item, a “Disputed Item,” and the Invoice being disputed, a “Disputed Invoice”) and providing in reasonably sufficient detail the basis for such dispute, by not later than the date that is the Payment Deadline for such Invoice (the period of time from delivery to IR of an Invoice through to the Payment Deadline being, the “Dispute Period”). For any given Invoice, if a Dispute Notice is not delivered to Xxxxxxxxx by the expiration of the Dispute Period, all items and amounts set forth in such Invoice shall be deemed to be final and binding on IR.
(b)If a Dispute Notice is delivered to Xxxxxxxxx for an Invoice before the expiration of the Dispute Period (the actual date of such delivery, the “Dispute Notice Delivery Date”), then:
3
(i)during the ten (10)-Business Day period immediately following such Dispute Notice Delivery Date (such period, or such longer period as the Parties shall mutually agree in writing (each in its sole discretion), the “Mutual Resolution Period”), each Party shall use its commercially reasonably, good faith efforts to mutually resolve the Disputed Items before the expiration of such Mutual Resolution Period (including furnishing, or causing to be furnished, to the other Party such information and documentation as may be commercially reasonably requested by such other Party in respect of any Disputed Item); and
(ii)the Payment Deadline for the applicable Disputed Invoice shall be tolled until the earlier to occur of (x) the Mutual Resolution Date (as defined below) whereupon the Payment Deadline shall be as set forth in Section 6(c), and (y) the Final Determination Date (as defined below) whereupon the Payment Deadline shall be as set forth in Section 6(d).
(c)If, by the expiration of the Mutual Resolution Period, the Parties mutually resolve all Disputed Items under the applicable Disputed Invoice, then within five (5) Business Days after the date of such mutual resolution (such date, the “Mutual Resolution Date”), Xxxxxxxxx shall deliver to IR the applicable Disputed Invoice, revised to reflect such mutual resolution, and the Payment Deadline in respect of such revised Disputed Invoice shall be five (5) Business Days after the receipt by IR of such revised Disputed Invoice
(d)If, by the expiration of the Mutual Resolution Period, the Parties shall have failed to resolve all Disputed Items under the applicable Disputed Invoice, then the Parties shall jointly engage an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller, each acting commercially reasonably (the “Independent Arbitrator”) for review and resolution of any such unresolved Disputed Items. The Independent arbitrator shall (A) act as an arbitrator and not as an auditor, (B) be bound by the principles set forth in this Agreement (and not by independent review), (C) limit its review to those Disputed Items set forth in the Dispute Notice that remain unresolved, and (D) not assign a value to any Disputed Item that is greater than the greatest value for such Disputed Item, or less than the smallest value for such Disputed Item, in either case claimed by either Party. The Independent Arbitrator shall be instructed to resolve the Disputed Items that remain unresolved promptly, and to render its final determination in writing to both Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which its determination was made (the “Independent Arbitrator’s Determination”). The date on which the Independent Arbitrator has furnished both Parties with the Independent Arbitrator’s Determination in writing is the “Final Determination Date.” Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Xxxxxxxxx of the Independent Arbitrator’s Determination, Xxxxxxxxx shall deliver to IR the applicable Disputed Invoice, revised to reflect such Final Determination, and the Payment Deadline in respect of such revised Disputed Invoice shall be five (5) Business Days after the receipt by IR of such revised Disputed Invoice.
(e)The costs and expenses of the Independent Arbitrator in determining any Disputed Items shall be borne 50/50 by each Party.
(f)Audit Rights. In addition to the foregoing and without limitation thereof, each of the Parties shall have the right upon reasonable advance written notice to the other Party, and during normal business hours, to access to the relevant books and records of such other Party that support, or otherwise are reasonably necessary to calculate or otherwise ascertain, the Service Fees and/or other amount related to the Services; provided that nothing herein (including the foregoing) shall require any Party to provide any Person access to any information, documentation or communications that are subject to privilege or the provision of which would otherwise contravene applicable law.
7.Other Agreements.
(a)Exclusivity. Provided that Xxxxxxxxx meets any and all cost, data protection, security, service and performance requirements hereunder, as determined by IR in its reasonable and good faith discretion, IR agrees that, during the Term, IR will not engage or otherwise use any other provider of
4
GPUs or other data center services for services substantially similar to the Services (whether for its own account or that of any IR Client), other than pursuant to this Agreement and an Order.
(b)Data Center Exploration. Each Party agrees that, during the Term until such time as such Party delivers written notice to the other Party of its intention to terminate such discussions, it will use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to engage with the other Party in exploring the development, construction and operation of an artificial intelligence GPU data center (the “Data Center”), all on such terms and conditions to be negotiated and mutually agreed by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) except to the limited extent set forth in the preceding sentence, no binding agreement between the Parties shall be deemed to exist with respect to any such Data Center unless and until definitive documentation providing for same is negotiated and duly executed by each Party, and (y) IR expressly acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any terms set forth in this Agreement and any Order, the economic and other terms with respect to any such Data Center (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to pricing, service fees and any profit sharing related to IR usage) remain to be separately negotiated de novo and mutually agreed in definitive documentation duly executed by each Party.
(c)No Partnership, Joint Venture, etc.. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or any Order establishes any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between the Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Data Center).

(a)it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation;
(b)it has full legal capacity, right, power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement and each Order, and such execution, delivery, and performance have been authorized by all necessary consents and approvals on its part;

(d)except as otherwise disclosed in writing as of the time this representation is made or repeated, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to its knowledge, threatened in writing against it, at law or in equity before any Governmental Authority (as defined below) that individually or in the aggregate are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on its business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) affecting, or to result in any material impairment of, its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Order.
