Common use of Operations Agreements Clause in Contracts

Operations Agreements. (a) Each Operations Agreement is in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party to any Operations Agreement, is in default thereunder, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. Except as described herein, none of the REAs and/or the PILOT Documents has been modified, amended or supplemented. (i) The PILOT Agreement requires that, in order to receive the full tax abatement described more particularly therein, inter alia, Borrower and/or PUREGraphite Tenant must satisfy the Minimum Jobs Requirement (as defined in the PILOT Agreement) and the Minimum Investment Requirement (as defined in the PILOT Agreement) by the end of the Five Year Period (as defined in the PILOT Agreement) and throughout the remainder of the 10-year Tax Abatement Period (as defined in the PILOT Agreement) thereunder. (ii) The Minimum Jobs Requirement equals two hundred forty (240) full-time jobs with an average annual wage of note less than $42,000 per year. (iii) The Minimum Investment Requirement equals $120,000,000.00. (iv) Although the PILOT Agreement permits the Minimum Jobs Requirement and the Minimum Investment Requirement to be satisfied (in whole or in part) with reference to certain jobs and/or capital expenditures made at other facilities owned by PUREGraphite within the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Borrower anticipates that the Minimum Jobs Requirement and the Minimum Investment Requirement will be satisfied solely in connection with the Property. (v) If the Minimum Jobs Requirement and/or the Minimum Investment Requirement are not satisfied during the Term (as defined in the PILOT Agreement), including, without limitation, as the result of any cessation of operations at the property, then (A) Borrower would not be liable with respect to any increased taxes as a result of such failure with respect to any personal property and/or equipment owned and/or leased by PUREGraphite Tenant, and (B) Borrower would not be liable for any repayment of previously abated amounts with respect to any personal property and/or equipment owned and/or leased by PUREGraphite Tenant.
