		1.1.6	Failure
                                            to Complete Infrastructure Development. If Service Provider
                                            fails to complete the Infrastructure Development by the Planned Development Date except for
                                            those immaterial development items noted in Section 1.1.5(e) herein, Service Provider will
                                            promptly pay to Customer the Late Development Fee, assessed at the end of each week following
                                            the Planned Development Date. The “Late Development Fee”
                                            is equal to 0.25% of the Infrastructure Investment assessed at the end of each week following
                                            the Planned Development Date and adjusted pro rata based on a percentage of the MWh that
                                            have been completed and delivered. If Service Provider fails to complete the Infrastructure
                                            Development within sixty (60) days following the Planned Development Date, Customer may terminate
                                            this Agreement and is entitled to a refund of all Infrastructure Investment paid to Service
                                            Provider as of the termination.



 


1.2 
Operation. Within five (5) days of each Pod Installation, Service Provider will in each case operate the relevant Customer Mining
Equipment on the Premises for the purpose of generating Digital Assets and make commercially reasonable best efforts to minimize interruptions
in the operation of the Customer Mining Equipment. If Service Provider fails to provide an Uptime of 98.5% or better, the Performance
Fee shall be reduced as described in Section 4.2.


 


1.3 
Management and Maintenance. Throughout the Term, Service Provider shall be responsible for the management and maintenance of the
Customer Mining Equipment. Service Provider’s responsibilities will include (i) ongoing monitoring of performance metrics in an
effort to maximize miner performance; (ii) Premises security; (iii) overall Premises maintenance; (iv) power and infrastructure maintenance;
(v) Premises safety protocols; (vi) power procurement and billing; (vii) heat management; (viii) payment and management of employees
and contractors performing services related to this Agreement; and (ix) all other such services as required for the Customer Mining Equipment
to achieve the operation requirements in Section 1.2, but in no event will Service Provider’s services be less than the services
that Service Provider uses to manage and maintain the mining equipment belonging to Service Provider or Service Provider’s controlled
affiliates. All such maintenance shall be performed in a diligent, competent and workmanlike manner. Service Provider, at its expense,
will make commercially reasonable best efforts to perform all upgrades with a goal for the software or firmware of Customer Mining Equipment
to maximize Uptime and Generated Digital Assets. Service Provider, with the consent of Customer and at Customer’s expense in respect
of out-of-pocket and third-party expenses, shall address and facilitate repairs to Customer Mining Equipment, payable within thirty (30)
days by Customer upon receipt of evidence of such expenses paid by Service Provider. For significant third-party repair expenses, Service
Provider reserves the right to request that Customer either advance funds for the expenses or pay the third party directly.


 


2.
Allocation of Mining Power and Deposit of
Digital Assets.




 


2.1 
Allocation of Mining Power. Service Provider shall provide the Services such that the Customer will use the Customer Mining Equipment
to Mine the cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Customer and Service Provider. For avoidance of
doubt, and in case of a hard fork of the Bitcoin protocol, under this agreement “Bitcoin (BTC)” shall mean the forked chain
as set forth by Customer. Service Provider shall not “merge mine” or otherwise use the Customer Mining Equipment to mine
any other Digital Asset not expressly stated herein unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Customer and Service Provider.


 


2.2 
Deposit of Digital Assets. Promptly following the end of each twenty-four (24) hour period during the Term (adjusted as need for
non-standard, non-twenty-four-hour (24) days) (each period, a “Payout Period”), but in no event more than two (2)
hours following the conclusion of a Payout Period, Service Provider shall deposit the Generated Digital Assets in the Customer Wallet.
On a bi-weekly basis Customer shall deposit the Performance Fee, as calculated and subject to adjustments pursuant to this Agreement,
in the Service Provider Wallet, and the Parties shall cooperate in determining the timing, amount, reconciliations, and other items related
to such payment of the Performance Fee.


 






    3


     


    

 


2.3 
Monitoring. Within five (5) days of the First Pod Installation, Service Provider will provide all necessary access to Customer
to remotely monitor – in person or remotely – the Generated Digital Assets and other metrics as reasonably requested by Customer,
but in all cases including any and all control panels, access methods, and other features or metrics available to Service Provider. Customer
shall reasonably cooperate with Service Provider such that Customer will grant to Service Provider access to data concerning the Bitcoin
(BTC) generated under this Agreement needed by Service Provider to perform its Services.


 


3.
Allocation of Costs.




 


3.1 
Power Costs. Service Provider may invoice Customer, and Customer shall pay, for the actual expenses incurred by Service Provider
for the energy used by the Customer Mining Equipment for each month (“Power Costs”), which invoice shall be due 15
days after invoicing. Such invoices shall include a copy of the power invoices that Service Provider received, reflecting the actual
costs paid by Service Provider, and any detail breaking down Customer’s allocation of such Power Costs. Customer shall be responsible
for advancing or securing any deposit or prepayment required by the power provider and monthly Power Costs in respect of the Services,
in such manner as may be agreed to by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision applies only to the power consumed in respect
to the Services and does not require Customer to advance or secure deposit for other power BlockFusion may require for other aspects
of its operation.


 


3.2 
Power Procurement. Service Provider agrees during the Term to use commercially reasonable best efforts to continually lower Power
Costs by securing a power purchase or similar agreement, and to keep Customer fully informed as to the status of such efforts and the
details of any prospective agreement. Service Provider shall consult with Customer prior to executing any material agreement involving
the procurement of power. The Parties shall endeavor to at meet at least quarterly to discuss options for improving power procurement.


 


3.3 
Management Costs. At the end of each month during the Term, Service Provider may invoice Customer, and Customer shall pay, for
the Management Costs applicable for such month, which invoice shall be due 15 days after invoicing. The “Management Costs”
are equal to two USD ($2) for per miner of Customer Mining Equipment being operated on the Premises.


 


4.
Performance Fee.




 


4.1 
Performance Fee. In exchange for performance of the Services, Service Provider will receive the Performance Fee for each Payout
Period during the Term in accordance with this Agreement, and Customer authorizes Service Provider to deduct all undisputed Performance
Fees from the Generated Digital Assets. The “Performance Fee”, in respect of the Services relating to the first 20.0
megawatt hours (“MWHrs”) of load power, is equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Net Digital Assets for any Payout
Period, adjusted downward for any Uptime Adjustments, Cost adjustments, or any other deductions provided in this Agreement, and, in respect
of the Services relating to the subsequent 15.0 MWHrs of load power, is equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Net Digital Assets for any
Payout Period, adjusted downward for any Uptime Adjustments, Cost adjustments, or any other deductions provided in this Agreement. The
“Net Digital Assets” for a Payout Period means the Generated Digital Assets minus the amount of Digital Assets
that have a value that is equal to the Estimated Daily Costs for Mining such Digital Assets for such Payout Period (“Digital
Asset Cost Equivalent”).


 






    4


     


    

 


4.2 
Cost Adjustment. At the end of each month during the Term, Service Provider will generate a report showing (i) the difference
between the Estimated Monthly Costs and actual Costs for such month and (ii) the difference between the Performance Fee paid during such
month and the Performance Fee that would have been paid in such month if Net Digital Assets were calculated using actual daily Costs
rather than Estimated Daily Costs (“Performance Fee Adjustment”). The Performance Fee Adjustment will be automatically
applied to the Digital Asset Customer Allocation for the next month so that the Parties receive the amounts they would have received
if the Performance Fee were calculated using actual daily Costs.


 


4.3 
Uptime Adjustments. If Service Provider fails to provide an Uptime of 98.5% or better in any calendar month, provided that the
failure to achieve at least an Uptime of 98.5% was not caused principally by Customer or a third party not under the direct control of
Service Provider, then the total Performance Fees paid for such month shall be reduced by ten percent (10%) (“Uptime Adjustment”)
(e.g. a thirty percent (30%) performance fee would be adjusted to twenty seven percent (27%); and twenty percent (20%) performance fee
would be adjusted to eighteen percent (18%)). The Uptime Adjustment for an applicable month will be automatically deducted from the Performance
Fees paid during the following month. Service Provider shall provide the Uptime statistics to Customer no later than five (5) calendar
days after the beginning of each calendar month and shall include Uptime statistics in any Audit, as defined in Section 5.


 


4.4 
Disputes. Customer may, in good faith, dispute any invoice or any part thereof (a “Disputed Amount”) by submitting
a written notice of such dispute along with reasonable supporting documentation within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the initial
invoice on which the Disputed Amount appears. Service Provider will review the Disputed Amount after its receipt of the relevant notice
and will provide Customer with any and all evidence demonstrating the propriety of the invoice. If the amount was billed in error, a
credit for the amount invoiced incorrectly will be made to the next invoice. If the amount was invoiced correctly, Customer will pay
the amount by the due date of the next invoice.


 


5.
Records and Reporting.




 


Service
Provider will prepare reports, per Payout Period, regarding Generated Digital Assets and related Costs and Performance Fees for the Payout
Period, and provide Customer with access to a copy of such reports on a monthly basis or as reasonably requested by Customer, the form
and substance of such reports to be reasonably agreed by the Parties with the goal of providing Customer full transparency as to the
operations and output of the mining activities that lead to the generation, or lack thereof, of Bitcoin (BTC). Customer may at any time
request access of Service Provider’s facilities, books, and records to determine whether the Performance Fees and Costs charged
to Customer during a Payout Period under this Agreement were calculated in accordance with this Agreement (each such request, an “Audit”).
Customer shall minimize the burden any Audit may cause Service Provider provided that such efforts shall not impair Customer’s
rights under this Agreement. Service Provider will grant Customer such access within a commercially reasonable time period, but in no
case longer than five business (5) days. If it is discovered that Service Provider has overcharged Customer, then Service Provider shall
pay Customer the difference between the charged amount and the actual amount. If it is discovered that Service Provider has undercharged
Customer, then Customer shall pay Service Provider the difference between the charged amount and the actual amount.

6.
Infrastructure Investment.




 


Infrastructure
Investment. Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Customer shall pay Service Provider in advance a sum of three
million seven hundred fifty thousand USD ($3,750,000) (“Infrastructure Investment”), wired to a United States bank
account, to be used by Service Provider solely toward Qualified Development Expenses. “Qualified Development Expenses”
means actual bona fide expenses incurred by the Service Provider as a direct result of the Infrastructure Development. Expenses shall
not qualify as Qualified Development Expenses unless Service Provider provides Customer with third-party receipts and invoices evidencing
such expenses. Promptly following the Planned Development Date (as adjusted for transformer delays pursuant to Subsection 1.1.4 herein),
Service Provider shall provide Customer with all third-party receipts and invoices evidencing the Qualified Development Expenses. If
the Qualified Development Expenses are less than the amount of the Infrastructure Investment, then Service Provider shall promptly pay
to Customer that amount which is the difference between the Infrastructure Investment and the Qualified Development Expenses, such difference
in amount paid to Customer being the “Infrastructure Investment Reimbursement.”


 


7.
Contractors.




 


Service
Provider may use its affiliates and any third-party contractors, vendors and/or service providers to provide the Services (in whole or
in part) (“Contractors”), in each case of a material contractor, vendor and/or service provider, only with Customer’s
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Service Provider is jointly and severally liable for the acts and
omissions of any Contractor and the acts and omissions of any Contractor will be treated as the acts and omissions of Service Provider
under this Agreement. The Parties agree that the Contractors identified in Exhibit F are approved.


 


8.
Ownership.




 


For
the avoidance of doubt, as between the Parties, all Customer Mining Equipment and Digital Asset Customer Allocation shall remain the
sole property of Customer and will not be construed as fixtures or fittings or otherwise attached to a Service Provider facility. As
between the Parties, Service Provider retains title to all racking, connectors, fittings, parts and other materials used or provided
by Service Provider at the Premises to provide Customer with the Services. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Parties
shall take all required actions under Section 12.4.


 


9.
Insurance.




 


As
of the Effective Date and during the term of this Agreement, to the extent available at commercially reasonable costs, Service Provider
agrees to keep in place insurance of at least the policy types and for the amounts listed in Schedule 1. In respect of Customer Mining
Equipment and Digital Asset Customer Allocation that would not benefit from Service Provider’s insurance policies in effect as
of the Effective Date, or if the insurance described in Schedule 1 should not be available at commercially reasonable costs, the Parties
shall cooperate to assess and procure, as they deem commercially reasonable, further insurance for the benefit of Customer; provided,
that, nothing in this Section 9 shall prohibit Customer from independently obtaining insurance of a type and for an amount at its sole
discretion. All insurance policies of Service Provider must be provided by underwriters with at least an A.M. Best rating of “A:XII.”
Customer shall be responsible for the costs directly attributable to insuring Customer Mining Equipment, such as coverage obtained independently
by Customer or costs for adding coverage onto insurance obtained by Service Provider.


 


10.
Disclaimer of warranties; Limitation of Liability.




 


10.1 
DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, EACH PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR THIRD PARTY LICENSORS AND SERVICE
PROVIDERS EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE SERVICES OR PROVISION OF THE CUSTOMER MINING EQUIPMENT,
WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS, RESULTS, AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES

Following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate
and Customer shall be entitled to the immediate possession of all Customer Mining Equipment. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement,
the Parties shall cooperate to facilitate the removal of Customer Mining Equipment from the Premises at Customer’s sole cost; provided,

                                            Customer’s receipt of a notice (the “Offer
                                            Notice”) from Service Provider detailing the material
                                            terms (the “Material Terms”) of a bona
                                            fide offer for a proposed Covered Transaction with a third party (the “Exercise
                                            Period”), Customer may propose to match such terms
                                            by delivering to Service Provider a binding letter of intent subject to customary due diligence
                                            and customary legal terms in a definitive agreement (the “ROFR Offer”)
                                            containing the Material Terms executed by Customer; provided that Customer shall be credited
                                            the amount of the Infrastructure Investment paid and not reimbursed (the “Discount”)
                                            to Service Provider hereunder in satisfying the purchase price provisions of the Material
                                            Terms.



 


		16.1.2	If,
                                            by the expiration of the Exercise Period, Customer has not accepted the ROFR Offer and, provided
                                            that Service Provider has complied with all of the provisions of this Section 16, at any
                                            time during the one hundred thirty five (135) day period following the expiration of the
                                            Exercise Period, Service Provider may consummate the Covered Transaction with the counterparty
                                            identified in the applicable Offer Notice on Material Terms that are the same or more favorable
                                            to Service Provider as the Material Terms set forth in the Offer Notice. If such third-party
                                            transaction is not consummated within such one hundred thirty-five (135) day period, the
                                            terms and conditions of this Section 16 will again apply and Service Provider shall not enter
                                            into any Covered Transaction during the ROFR Period without affording Customer the right
                                            to first refusal on the terms and conditions of this Section 16.

                                            the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of this Section 16 apply to each third-party
                                            offer received by Service Provider during the ROFR Period.

                                            the Term with pricing that credits the Discount paid to Service Provider hereunder. Except
                                            as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Section 16 shall obligate either Party to
                                            enter into a Covered Transaction, and each Party shall bear its own costs in respect of any
                                            discussions or negotiations of such Covered Transaction.

                                            the Parties do not enter into definitive agreements in respect of one or more Covered Transactions
                                            pursuant to which Customer obtains in the aggregate of such Covered Transactions the full
                                            economic benefit of the Discount, then, within twelve (12) months following the termination
                                            of this Agreement, Service Provider shall pay to Customer an amount that is equal to the
                                            Infrastructure Investment less any Infrastructure Investment Reimbursements less
                                            any economic benefit obtained by Customer pursuant to a Discount received or to be received
                                            pursuant to definitive documents in respect of one or more Covered Transactions.

17.2 
Governing Laws and Venue. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as applied

of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the Parties. All disputes,
suits, actions or proceedings (“Action”) relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the state or federal
courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each Party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts
located in Wilmington, Delaware in connection with any such dispute, suit, action or proceeding, and waives any defense of forum inconveniens
in connection therewith. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR

17.3 
Meet and Confer. The Parties agree to confer regularly about the Services being rendered by Service Provider and each Party agrees
that it will raise any concerns regarding the execution of the obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner so that Parties can
attempt in good faith to resolve them in a timely manner. Each Party agrees that, prior to bringing any Action against the other Party,
the first Party shall offer to meet and confer with the other Party in a good faith in an attempt to resolve such potential Action without
a court proceeding, provided, that nothing in this Section 17.3 shall bar or impair either Party’s respective rights to pursue
all lawful rights and remedies subject to satisfying the requirements of this Section 17.3. To the maximum extent practical in light
of the circumstances, at least 30 (thirty) days prior to initiating any Action, the presidents of the Parties shall meet, in person if

17.4

17.5 
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any updates, exhibits, or amendments, constitutes the complete and exclusive
agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous discussions,
negotiations, understandings and agreements, written and oral, regarding the same. This Agreement may only be modified by a written instrument
properly executed by the Parties (and such written instrument shall explicitly say that it is an amendment hereto so that no informal
amendment inadvertently occurs).


 


17.6 
Confidentiality. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the confidential information of each Party. The Services,
the Costs and the Performance Fees (and any other related materials or information provided by Service Provider to Customer) are Service
Provider’s confidential information, regardless of whether they are marked as confidential, proprietary or otherwise. The data
provided by Customer in the context of this Agreement (and any other materials or information provided by Customer to Service Provider)
are Customer’s confidential information, regardless of whether they are marked as confidential, proprietary or otherwise. During
the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, the Parties shall (a) keep such confidential information strictly confidential in a manner
that each Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature (and with no less than reasonable care);
and (b) not disclose such confidential information to any third party other than each Party’s partners, vendors, assignees, purchasers
and prospective purchasers, investors and prospective investors, lenders and prospective lenders, lessors and prospective lessors, and
financial or legal consultants that have a need to know such information and have agreed in writing to keep such information confidential
and not disclose such confidential information, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party
may disclose confidential information as required by law or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that, in such event,
(i) such Party will provide the other Party with prompt notice of such obligation and permit the other Party an opportunity to take legal
action to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure; and (ii) such Party will furnish only that portion of the other Party’s
confidential information which the Party is advised by counsel is legally required and the Parties will exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 17.5 do not apply to information which: (a) was in a Party’s possession
before receipt from the other Party; (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of a Party; (c) was rightfully disclosed
to a Party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is developed by a Party without use of the other Party’s
confidential information as can be shown by documentary evidence. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider acknowledges
and agrees that Customer is or intends to become a U.S. publicly traded company and may be required to disclose this Agreement and its
related terms in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including its disclosure obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding this, the Parties may publicly announce that they have entered into this Agreement without disclosing
the details thereof; provided, that such public announcement may contain details of the general nature of the Services, the names of
the Parties, the MWHrs of load power provided for in the Agreement, the anticipated operational time by when such MWHrs will be available,
and the general nature of the power type (e.g., green).

Independent Contractors. Service Provider and Customer are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will create
any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the Parties. Neither Party
is an agent or representative of the other or is authorized to make any warranties or assume or create any other obligations on behalf
of the other.


 


17.9 
Intellectual Property. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to either Party any rights or licenses, by implication,
estoppel or otherwise, to any of the other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights. Neither party shall contest or challenge, or assist
any third party in contesting or challenging, the validity or enforceability of any of the other party’s Intellectual Property
Rights. To the extent Customer utilizes any software or platform created by Service Provider (“Service Provider Software”)
in furtherance of this Agreement, including the dashboard, Service Provider grants to Customer a worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free,
fully paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable, non-transferable (except as permitted pursuant to Section 17.3) (a) limited license during
the Term to use, test, install, integrate, modify, and reproduce the Service Provider Software in connection with using the Services,
and (b) perpetual license to use, collect, retain, copy, distribute, display (publicly or otherwise), perform (publicly or otherwise),
modify, enhance, and create derivative works of any data displayed or provided by the Service Provider Software.


 


17.10 
Trademarks. Each Party is strictly prohibited from using any product or corporate name, designation, logo, trade name, trademark,
service name or service mark associated with the other party (collectively, “Brand Features”) in any marketing materials,
offering circular, prospectus or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the first Party, which may be withheld by the first
Party in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider hereby grants to Customer a nonexclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, irrevocable (during the Term), and royalty-free right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to
display Service Provider’s Brand Features, for the sole and limited purpose of identifying Service Provider as a provider of the
Services, on Customer’s website or to investors or the public, either as required by Customer’s investment activities or
in connection with general factual statements (including, without limitation, as part of its securities or regulatory filings).


 


17.11 
No Exclusivity. This Agreement in no way establishes any exclusive arrangement between Customer and Service Provider. Each Party
acknowledges and agrees that the other Party is free to enter into agreements and other arrangements with any third parties, at any time,
regarding any products or services.


 


17.12 
Parties Are Sophisticated and Represented. No preference shall be given to one Party by virtue of the fact that such Party
did not draft this Agreement. No bias shall be placed against the drafter. Each Party has been advised and offered the opportunity to
seek legal counsel regarding this Agreement. To the extent it chooses not to or to limit such, it hereby waives any later complaint that
it lacked proper counsel or understanding. No failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of this Agreement shall constitute
waiver of any breach, covenant, duty, or term herein.

17.13 
Counterparts / Execution. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute a single instrument,
and may also be executed by electronic signature, and the Parties agree that facsimile, digitally scanned or other electronic copies
of signatures shall be valid and binding as originals.

Taxes. The Costs and fees set forth herein do not include any foreign, federal, state or local sales, value added, use,
withholding or other similar taxes, tariffs or duties, however designated, levied against the sale, licensing, delivery or use of the

based on Service Providers’ net income and ad valorem, personal and real property taxes imposed on Service Provider’s owned
or leased property.


 


17.15 
Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this
Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such party’s
(the “Impacted Party”) failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (“Force
Majeure Event(s)”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities
(whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) government order, law, or action that renders
the provision of the Services unlawful or that is so onerous it renders provision of the Services not commercially practicable; (e) embargoes
or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) national or regional emergency; (g) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns,
or other industrial disturbances; (h) telecommunication breakdowns, power outages or shortages, inadequate transportation services, or

of the Impacted Party. The Impacted Party shall give notice within five (5) business days of the Force Majeure Event to the other party,
stating the period of time the occurrence has occurred and is expected to continue. The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to
prevent and/or end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume
the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that a Force Majeure
Event cannot be practically cured by the Impacted Party, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether the contract should be terminated,
in whole or in part, or remain in place.


 


17.16 
Survival. The provisions contained in Sections 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, and 17 and Exhibits A and F shall survive the termination
or expiration of this Agreement.
