ContractRequirement

Distributor shall require contracts for all service provided under this rate schedule. The contract for customers served under DCB and DCC rates shall be for an initial term of at least 5 years and any renewals or extensions of the initial contract shall be for a term of at least 1 year; after 10 years ofservice, any such contract for the renewal or extension of service may provide for termination upon not lessthan4months’notice.ThecontractforcustomersservedunderDCDratesshallbeforaninitialterm of at least 5 years and any renewals or extensions of the initial contract shall be for a term of at least 5 years; after 10 years ofservice, any such contract for the renewal or extension of service may provide for termination upon not less than 16 months’ notice. The customer shall contract for its maximum requirements, which shall not exceed the amount of power capable of being used by customer, and Distributor shall not be obligated to supply power in greater amount at any time than the customer's currently effective onpeak or offpeak contract demand.If the customer uses any power other than that supplied by Distributor under this rate schedule, the contract may include other special provisions.The rate schedule in any power contract shall be subject to adjustment, modification, change, or replacement from time to time as provided under the power contract between Distributor and TVA.

Priortoenteringintoanycontractforpowerforneworexpandedload,Distributormustnotifyand consult with TVA. Distributor and Company will contract with TVA, as deemed necessary by TVA, to provide for any TVA-required conditions applicable to delivery of power and energy from TVA to Distributor and from Distributor to the customer.

The contract demand amounts and applicable rates specified in the contract may be adjusted by TVA as provided under this paragraph. For customers served under DCB, DCC, or DCD rates, beginning October 1, 2027, and occurring each October 1 thereafter, TVA will calculate the customer’s highest onpeak and offpeak billing demand, established in the preceding 36 months. In the event that the customer's onpeak and/or offpeak billing demand is below 75% of the onpeak or offpeak contract demand, which is higher, TVA will provide at least 60 days’ written notice of an adjustment to the onpeak and/or offpeak contract demands. Said adjustment to the onpeak and/or offpeak contract demands would beestablishedbydividingthecustomer’shighestonpeakoroffpeakbillingdemandfromthepreceding36 months by 0.75. Distributor will promptly notify the customer, in writing, of the adjusted contract demand amounts and the TVA-specified effective date. In the event the adjustment of the contract demand warrants the customer being served under a different rate schedule, the applicable rate schedule will be attached to said notice.

CapacityCommitmentChargeRider

This Capacity Commitment Charge Rider (“Rider”) will be in addition to all charges applicable underthe“LargeDataServiceRates--ScheduleDC”towhichthisRiderisattached.Forapplicabilityof this Rider, a customer (served by either the Tennessee ValleyAuthority (“TVA”) or a Distributor under Schedule DC) is required to pay the Capacity Commitment Charge for new or expanded load if the customer meets one or more of the following criteria:

•

isanewcustomerthatwillbeservedbyTVAorbyaDistributoratanewend-usedelivery point and the power consumed by the customer meets the eligibility requirements in the “Availability” section of Schedule DC;

•

is a new customer that has acquired an existing end-use delivery point served byTVAor by a Distributorandthepowerconsumedbythenewcustomermeetstheeligibilityrequirementsin the “Availability” section of Schedule DC;

•

is an existing customer that repurposes its existing end-use delivery point that was most recently utilized to consume power that met the eligibility requirements for a rate schedule otherthanScheduleDCandthepowerconsumedbythecustomerattherepurposeddelivery point meets the eligibility requirements in the “Availability” section of Schedule DC; or

•

isanexistingcustomerrequestinganincreaseinthespecifiedcontractdemandforitsexisting end-use delivery point and the power consumed by the customer meets the eligibility requirements in the “Availability” section of Schedule DC.

Fornewloadrequests,theCapacityCommitmentChargewillonlyapplyabovethefirst5MWofcontract demand. Existing loads (as defined below) may request a one-time, location-specific, 5 MW or less waiver, of the Capacity Commitment Charge for load expansions.

Forcustomersthatmeettheeligibilityrequirementsinthe“Availability”sectionofScheduleDC,“Existing” load is not subject to the Capacity Commitment Charge.Acustomer’s load is considered “Existing” if:

•

acustomerhasreceivedTVABoardapprovalforpowersupplyarrangementsforanew load or expansion load prior to June 1, 2026; or

•

acustomer has an effective power contract for the new or expanded load with either TVAor a Distributor ofTVApower prior to October 1,2026, provided that any effective contractbetweenaDistributorandend-usecustomerwillonlybeconsidered“Existing” where proper coordination with TVAhas occurred in accordance with the wholesale power contract.

In the event (1) Distributor and a customer enter into a new power contract, or amend an existing power contract to increase power availability, and (2) the power consumed or to be consumed by the customer meets the eligibility requirements in the “Availability” section of Schedule DC, and (3) Distributor and/or CompanyhavenotproperlycoordinatedwithTVAasrequiredunderthepowercontractbetweenTVAand Distributor and otherTVA-established coordination policies and procedures, then the customer’s load will be considered new or expanded load and the provisions of this Rider will apply.

The Capacity Commitment Charge is a TVABoard-approved charge calculated on a per MW basis and representsthecostofbuildingtheadditionalgenerationassetsneededtoservethenextMWofcapacity (“Incremental Capacity Cost”) that would not be recovered through the rates provided in Large Data Service Rates -- Schedule DC. Capacity Commitment Charge payments are non-refundable.

At least once each fiscal year, the TVABoard will establish a specified MW amount of capacity available forthatfiscalyear(“CohortThreshold”)andapproveaCapacityCommitmentChargethatwillapplytothe Cohort Threshold until either (a) the Cohort Threshold is met or (b) the fiscal year passes and a new Capacity Commitment Charge is established and approved by the TVABoard for the next Cohort.

basis.Allcustomers whohavesecuredcapacity (MW) availableunder theCohortThresholdwillmakeup the “Cohort.”Each Cohort member will be subject to the same Capacity Commitment Charge and interruptionrequirementsestablishedbyTVA(currentlydesignatedaspowerinterruptionprovisions“PIP") until the date TVAno longer requires such interruption provisions (“Firm Generation Date”).

The customer will secure a spot in the then-current Cohort and the Capacity Commitment Charge for the Firm Generation Date will become fixed upon complete execution of the TVA-required contractual arrangements (under which there are Capacity Commitment Charge payment obligations) between TVA and the customer (and Distributor, if applicable). In the event customer fails to take power within five (5) yearsoftheFirmGenerationDate,thegreaterof1)theCapacityCommitmentChargebasedontheFirm Generation Date, or 2) the then-current Capacity Commitment Charge, will apply.

For fiscal year 2027, the first CohortThreshold is 2,000 MW (“Cohort 1”), and the Capacity Commitment Charge is $1.521 million/MW. Specific PIP requirements required by TVAwill be set forth in any TVA-required contractual arrangement necessary for service to the customer. Future Cohort Thresholds and theapplicableCapacityCommitmentChargewillbedeterminedbytheTVABoardandappliedassetout above.Future Cohort members will be subject to any interruption requirements established by TVA.

For initial implementation, the Capacity Commitment Charge will not apply to new or expanded load requests100MWorlessthataredeemedtobe“inflight”inaccordancewithcriteriaestablishedbyTVA. Inflight load requests will be subject to the same PIP requirements established by TVAfor Cohort 1.
