Page 1 |
of SILEVO, its Affiliates, and each Collocated Entity (as defined in Section 4.3(a)(2) of the Agreement), concerning compliance with the Investment & Spending requirements contained in Section 4.3 of the Agreement and the Employment Targets contained in Section 4.4 of the Agreement using a form substantially similar to Exhibit 2 to this Amendment. Separate reports shall be submitted for: (i) SILEVO and its Affiliates; (ii) each Collocated Entity; and (iii) each Employment Contractor whose employees are being reported pursuant to Section 4.4 (each, a “Reporting Entity”), in accordance with Exhibit 2.
Subject to SILEVO’s reasonable confidentiality requirements, SILEVO shall also provide to FOUNDATION, or make available for inspection by FOUNDATION, or to Empire State Development as directed by FOUNDATION, copies of documentation as reasonably required by FOUNDATION to validate the accuracy of each report, which may include for each Reporting Entity the subject entity’s Form NYS-45 ATT and New York Multiple Worksite Report (if applicable).

For purposes of the Agreement, including Section 4.3 and Exhibits A and G, cumulative investments shall include all amounts spent or incurred by or for SILEVO on or after January 1, 2015.
3.Section 4.3 (SILEVO Investment & Spending) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a)In accordance with and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, including Exhibit A, providing FOUNDATION performs its obligations as required hereunder: (i) SILEVO commits to invest and spend in the Manufacturing Operation at a level that ensures competitive product costs as determined by the market place for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of Manufacturing Facility Completion; (ii) SILEVO will be responsible for and pay all costs associated with operation of the Manufacturing Facility during the Term after the date of Manufacturing Facility Completion; and (iii) SILEVO will spend or incur approximately $5 Billion in combined capital, operational expenses, and other costs in New York State (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include amounts spent or incurred by SILEVO for consumables and raw materials consumed or used by SILEVO at the Manufacturing Facility or other manufacturing facility in the State of New York and amounts spent on employment, labor, and services), including at its next generation manufacturing, business, and related operation in Western New York, during the ten (10) year period commencing on the date of Manufacturing Facility Completion.

(c)The approval of a Collocated Entity by the FOUNDATION will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that the FOUNDATION may withhold approval of a particular proposed sublease with a Collocated Entity if and to the extent that the proposed sublease or other agreement with the proposed Collocated Entity permits or could otherwise result in the Silevo or TEO financially benefitting from rent received from the proposed Collocated Entity in any form with respect to the Manufacturing Facility or any Manufacturing Equipment owned by the FOUNDATION. In addition, the Parties agree that in determining whether to approve a Collocated Entity, FOUNDATION shall be permitted to consider whether the addition of the Collocated Entity would

Page 2 |
result in more than half of the persons employed at the Manufacturing Facility being employed by Collocated Entities.
(d)Any and all investments, costs, expenses, and other spending by SILEVO, TEO, any Affiliate of SILEVO and/or TEO, or any Collocated Entity shall count towards the investment and spending requirements set forth in this Section, Section 4.1(a), Exhibit A, and Exhibit G unless said expense is an Ineligible Expense as defined in this Section. Without limitation, the foregoing includes all direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred or accrued on operations, equipment and other tangible assets used for Manufacturing Operations or the Program but shall not include any employment costs incurred outside of New York State or the cost of equipment or other tangible assets that are not physically located or used in New York (the “Program Related Costs”). SILEVO and TEO agree that neither they nor any of their respective Affiliates shall sublet or otherwise make space in the Manufacturing Facility available in exchange for rent in any form.
(e)Ineligible Expense means: (i) any expense to the extent paid or reimbursed by the FOUNDATION or its Affiliates; or (ii) any expense that is not incurred or accrued either in New York State or elsewhere for business operations in New York State; or (iii) any expense by a Collocated Entity that is not incurred or accrued either at or for the Manufacturing Facility.”

(iii) a full-time independent contractor or self-employed individual that performs responsibilities in furtherance of the Program that would otherwise be performed by an employee of Silevo or its Affiliates who is not on the subject entity’s payroll but who has worked in New York State for the subject entity for a minimum of thirty (30) hours per week for not less than four (4) consecutive weeks as of the Reporting Date providing services pursuant to a contract signed with either the individual or their direct employer; or
(iv) two part-time independent contractors or self-employed individuals that perform responsibilities in furtherance of the Program that would otherwise be performed by an employee of Silevo or its Affiliates who are not on the subject entity’s payroll but who have worked in New York State for the subject entity for a combined minimum of thirty (30) hours per week for not less than four (4) consecutive weeks as of the Reporting Date
Amendment 11 |
Page 3 |
providing services pursuant to a contract signed with either the individual or their direct employer.
(g)Ineligible Employee means: (i) any employee of a Collocated Entity that does not perform work related to the Program; or (ii) an employee or position of a Collocated Entity that was transferred to the Manufacturing Facility from another location in New York State unless the employee or position was (a) “at-risk” of elimination or of leaving New York State on or prior to such transfer, as demonstrated by SILEVO, or (b) backfilled by the Collocated Entity at another location in New York State after such transfer; or (iii) any employee or position of a Collocated Entity that is not employed at the Manufacturing Facility.”

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the FOUNDATION shall apply any unused portion of the FOUNDATION’s financial commitments under the Agreement (the “UNUSED FUNDS”) for any of the following purposes as previously agreed to by the Parties or as directed by SILEVO: (i) purchase, commission, modify, and improve Manufacturing Equipment for the Manufacturing Facility; (ii) to make additions, modifications, or improvements to the Manufacturing Facility; (iii) to take such other actions related to the Manufacturing Facility or Manufacturing Equipment as may be agreed by the Parties; or (iv) for other purposes related to the Project with the FOUNDATION’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any UNUSED FUNDS must be (a) for a capital, facility, or equipment use or purpose related to either the Manufacturing Facility or Manufacturing Equipment, and (b) consistent with applicable laws and subject to the terms and conditions of the Grant Disbursement Agreement(s) between FSMC and Empire State Development, if any, as provided in writing to SILEVO on the Effective Date.”
6.A new second paragraph of Section 5.1(c) of the Agreement is hereby added as follows:
“The UNUSED FUNDS as of the Effective Date of this Amendment are an amount equal to $28,880,339.51. Upon expenditure of the remaining balance of the UNUSED FUNDS, the FOUNDATION will have fully satisfied its obligations under Sections 4.1(c), 5.1(a), 5.1(b), and 5.1(c) of the Agreement and will have for the purposes of the Agreement met its commitment to contribute $750 million for the project. The FOUNDATION, Affiliates or their contractors, as applicable retain their warranty support and other obligations with respect to such construction work, including the open punch-list items set forth in the Final Base Build Punch-List attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Any expenses to be paid with UNUSED FUNDS must be incurred and payment must be requested by SILEVO prior to December 31, 2021 (the “Expenditure Date”), and FOUNDATION shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, promptly pay such amounts to SILEVO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that the FOUNDATION or its Affiliate does not promptly pay any of the UNUSED FUNDS to SILEVO or as directed by SILEVO due to an encumbrance or claim arising from potential liabilities associated with any contract(s) entered by or for the FOUNDATION or its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Expenditure Date shall be extended by a period of one month for each month or portion thereof that such funds are encumbered and therefore unavailable to SILEVO to pay for project related purposes.”
7.Section 4.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and is replaced with the following
“Manufacturing Facility Completion means April 30, 2018.”
Exhibit G is deleted in entirety and replaced with revised Exhibit G attached hereto.
9.TEO shall be a Party to the Agreement as of the date last signed below, and references to “SILEVO” throughout the Agreement shall be deemed to refer collectively to SILEVO and TEO.

If, with respect to a Program Year above in Schedule A, SILEVO satisfies the Investment Milestone and Job Milestone set forth in Schedule A on or before the applicable Program Payment Due Date in that
Amendment 11 |
Page 10 |
Program Year, then SILEVO is not required to pay the Program Payment Due for the Program Year on such Program Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein the contrary, SILEVO shall be required to meet the Cumulative Job Milestone in each Program Year regardless of whether it has met the Cumulative Job Milestone in any other Program Year.
The SILEVO Cumulative Investment Milestones set forth in Schedule A refer to cumulative investments, spend, costs, and expenses incurred in or related to the State of New York as permitted in the Agreement. If and to the extent that SILEVO meets the Cumulative Investment Milestone requirements for a particular Program Year, SILEVO shall be deemed to have met the Cumulative Investment Milestone for all applicable Program Years under the Agreement where the Cumulative Investment equals or exceeds the Cumulative Investment Milestone for that Program Year. For example, if SILEVO’s cumulative investment in Year 2 equals $5,000,000,000, then SILEVO shall have met the SILEVO Cumulative Investment Milestones for Years 2 through and including Year 10.
The SILEVO Cumulative Job Milestones set forth in Schedule A refer to the number of Full-Time Employees as permitted under the Agreement in each Program Year and are not in addition to the previous Program Year. For example, if SILEVO’s Cumulative Job Milestone in Year 2 equals 2,000, then SILEVO shall have met the SILEVO Cumulative Job Milestone for Year 2 only and the Cumulative Job Milestone for Year 3 shall remain at 2,000.
If any of the following events of default occur, all Program Payments in Schedule A shall be become due and payable immediately, without demand or notice:
|
a. |
the failure of SILEVO to pay in full a Program Payment payable by SILEVO to FOUNDATION in accordance with Sections 1 and 2 of this Exhibit G on or before the applicable Program Payment Due Date, which payment remains unpaid for ten (10) business days after delivery of written notice of such failure to SILEVO; |
|
b. |
the filing of bankruptcy proceedings involving SILEVO as a debtor (which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing); |
|
c. |
the appointment of a receiver for SILEVO; |
|
d. |
the making of a general assignment for the benefit of SILEVO’s creditors; |
|
e. |
the termination of the Agreement due to SILEVO’s default thereunder. |
The terms and conditions contained in this Exhibit G shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
