| tweaked your language and used the last version | sent you. We understand the need to ensure repayment of the
$150,000 upon completion or in the unlikely event the project is denied by the City. I think | adequately covered that
contingency. | inserted language to cover any unpaid City Costs incurred prior to completion or failure to approve.

If it is acceptable, please have it executed by your appropriate principals and forward the executed agreement for the

would have been involved. The Mayor and your client discussed the draft reimbursement agreement and the City’s

Hi Mike,

It was nice speaking with you Tuesday. We connected with David. As noted, he is ok committing to the $150,000 deposit,
but requests that this be deposited into escrow to be drawn down upon to cover expenses and that it be clear that the
unused funds be returned to him. He will agree to replenish funds as needed once the balance gets below a certain amount.

There are a few other changes made in the document for clarity, the intent of your terms remains.

Section I: as mentioned on the call, statements need to be sent monthly so David can keep track of the budget.
There were multiples “Agreements” referenced, so that was also modified.

.
The timing you proposed regarding C/O for the first building of 100,000 sf was moved here.

Section II: the timeline of the transaction should be the same as you proposed, the reference excluding final plat
approval from City Expenses was moved here.

Section II: same as above, we need a regular statement schedule.
Please let us know if you accept these changes.

Thank you,

Hi Mike,

---- page 49 ----

It was nice speaking with you Tuesday. We connected with David. As noted, he is ok committing to the $150,000 deposit,
but requests that this be deposited into escrow to be drawn down upon to cover expenses and that it be clear that the
unused funds be retumed to him. He will agree to replenish funds as needed once the balance gets below a certain amount.

There are a few other changes made in the document for clarity, the intent of your terms remains.

Section I: as mentioned on the call, statements need to be sent monthly so David can keep track of the budget.

« There were multiples “Agreements” referenced, so that was also modified.
© The timing you proposed regarding C/O for the first building of 100,000 sf was moved here.

Section II: the timeline of the transaction should be the same as you proposed, the reference excluding final plat
approval from City Expenses was moved here.

Section III: same as above, we need a regular statement schedule.
Please let us know if you accept these changes.
Thank you,

Hi Mike,

---- page 66 ----

It was nice speaking with you Tuesday. We connected with David. As noted, he is ok committing to the $150,000 deposit,
but requests that this be deposited into escrow to be drawn down upon to cover expenses and that it be clear that the
unused funds be retumed to him. He will agree to replenish funds as needed once the balance gets below a certain amount.

There are a few other changes made in the document for clarity, the intent of your terms remains.

Section I; as mentioned on the call, statements need to be sent monthly so David can keep track of the budget.

¢ There were multiples “Agreements” referenced, so that was also modified.
e The timing you proposed regarding C/O for the first building of 100,000 sf was moved here.

Section II: the timeline of the transaction should be the same as you proposed, the reference excluding final plat
approval from City Expenses was moved here.

Section III: same as above, we need a regular statement schedule.
Please let us know if you accept these changes.
Thank you,

Caroline -

| was in a meeting this morning regarding the above with your client regarding project Hawkeye. | assumed you or Peter
would have been involved. The Mayor and your client discussed the draft reimbursement agreement and the City’s
position. | believe that your client will be reaching out to you or Peter today about those discussions. | am always leery
about meeting with a represented party outside the presence of their counsel. As such, | wanted to make sure you were

in the loop. Please feel free to call with any questions or concerns.

Hi Mike,
It was nice speaking with you Tuesday. We connected with David. As noted, he is ok committing to the $150,000 deposit,

but requests that this be deposited into escrow to be drawn down upon to cover expenses and that it be clear that the
unused funds be returned to him, He wil] agrec to replenish funds as needed once the balance gets below a certain amount.

There are a few other changes made in the document for clarity, the intent of your terms remains.

Section I: as mentioned on the call, statements need to be sent monthly so David can keep track of the budget.
© There were multiples “Agreements” referenced, so that was also modified.
The timing you proposed regarding C/O for the first building of 100,000 sf was moved here.

Section II: the timeline of the transaction should be the same as you proposed, the reference excluding final plat
approval from City Expenses was moved here.

Section III: same as above, we need a regular statement schedule.
Please let us know if you accept these changes.
Thank you,

Good afternoon Brent,

I hope all is well with you. As we are having some more advanced conversations about this project, | wanted
to see if we could reconvene and discuss water and sewer servicing options in a little more detail. Goals for
this meeting focusing on technical aspects would be to have a good idea of connection points, routes, costs
and incentives. Understanding the incentives might need to be a separate meeting with a larger group.

As an update per your request in our meeting late last year: we are anticipating a primarily air cooled system
within the 250-500 MGD capacity from your current well. There is a small possibility of a water cooled system
which gets into several million gallons per day—! would like to spend a little time on this to understand its

possibility relative to aquifer capacity.

Let me know what your schedule looks like for next week for us to convene in person or on a call.

Thank you,

Kevin

RE: Project Hawkeye — City of Belvidere, Illinois

Dear Mr. Halligan,

lam writing to express my enthusiastic interest in your proposed development project (Project

As Mayor,
Genoa Road, south of Interstate 90 (Boone County).

Hawkeye}, to be located in Belvidere generally along

City staff are committed to providing visionary leadership and guidance to ensure that growth and well-

being of our residents while fostering development and innovation in the City of Belvidere continues as a
priority. 1 believe Project Hawkeye aligns with these goals and benefits our community significantly.

We believe that Project Hawkeye is poised to provide long-term economic benefits for the citizens of
Belvidere and the surrounding region. Creating high-skilled jobs, increasing tax revenue, and attracting
ancillary businesses will contribute to our local economy's diversification and growth.

‘As well, this proposed state-of-the-art data center development will continue to position the City of
Belvidere as a hub for technological advancement development projects with the potential to attract
further Investment and talent to our Growth Corridor.

Jam supportive of a Data Center at this location. Furthermore, the City wishes to explore extending City

utility services and entitlements to the entire territory, not only the property under Datawatt Energy's
control, but also the surrounding territory. Of course, annexation and development are subject to City

Council review and approval.

---- page 201 ----

| would encourage your team to schedule a meeting with City staff to begin evaluating the process of
annexation into Belvidere and pursuing zoning approval for the property as a data center development.
We at the City of Belvidere are eager to assist with any questions or issues related to your development
project, including the process, planning and its ultimate success.

Please fee! free to contact me if | can be of assistance.

Hi Mayor Morris and Mike,

---- page 208 ----

Conor and | are following up on an email he received earlier today from Mayor Morris and wanted to provide

you with an update on Project Hawkeye.

Our apologies for not connecting with you sooner and keeping you apprised of project status since last
speaking with you late last year. Our core focus has been on evaluating the interconnection process with
ComEd and the timing of power delivery to our site. We've had multiple conversations with ComEd to assess
timing of submitting a load request application and are hearing of a growing imbalance between the demand
for power and ComEd’s current capacity to supply this power. This imbalance is directly related to the high
volume of load requests from data centers to ComEd and the need for substantial investment in new power
generation and transmission infrastructure to meet this power demand.

his imbalance in power demand / supply and structured our business model to
address this issue, the pace at which this imbalance has materialized has exceeded even the expectations of
the broader power industry. Just a year ago, ComEd was not signaling the significant shifts now shaping the
energy landscape. ComEd is now suggesting that delivery of power could extend beyond six years from
submittal of load request. This long time horizon makes it difficult to attract end-user data customers who

require immediate access to power.

Although we anticipated t!

that will bridge this gap in power supply and allow us to develop
inwavering belief in the potential of Project
solutions to deliver on this potential.

We have been working hard to find solutions
and power the site independently of ComEd. We have an u!
Hawkeye and are doing everything we can to create power
Conor and | would welcome a call at your convenience to discuss project status in greater detail. Let us know
what works best for you.

submittal of load request. This long time horizon makes it difficult to attract end-user data customers who

require immediate access to power.

We have been working hard to find solutions that will bridge this gap in power supply and allow us to develop
and power the site independently of ComEd. We have an unwavering belief in the potential of Project
Hawkeye and are doing everything we can to create power solutions to deliver on this potential.

Conor and | would welcome a call at your convenience to discuss project status in greater detail. Let us know
what works best for you.

Hi Mayor Morris and Mike,

Conor and | are following up on an email he received earlier today from Mayor Morris and wanted to provide
you with an update on Project Hawkeye.

---- page 217 ----

Our apologies for not connecting with you sooner and keeping you apprised of project status since last
speaking with you late last year. Our core focus has been on evaluating the interconnection process with
ComEd and the timing of power delivery to our site. We’ve had multiple conversations with ComEd to assess
timing of submitting a load request application and are hearing of a growing imbalance between the demand
for power and ComEd’s current capacity to supply this power. This imbalance is directly related to the high
volume of load requests from data centers to ComEd and the need for substantial investment in new power
generation and transmission infrastructure to meet this power demand.

Although we anticipated this imbalance in power demand / supply and structured our business model to
address this issue, the pace at which this imbalance has materialized has exceeded even the expectations of
the broader power industry. Just a year ago, ComEd was not signaling the significant shifts now shaping the
energy landscape. ComEd is now suggesting that delivery of power could extend beyond six years from
submittal of load request. This long time horizon makes it difficult to attract end-user data customers who

require immediate access to power.

We have been working hard to find solutions that will bridge this gap in power supply and allow us to develop
and power the site independently of ComEd. We have an unwavering belief in the potential of Project
Hawkeye and are doing everything we can to create power solutions to deliver on this potential.

Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for your call the other week to discuss Project Hawkeye. We appreciate your support.

Datawatt Energy is providing the attached brief outlining our vision of Project Hawkeye and the related benefits to the City
of Belvidere. In summary, the deck details our intended land use, scope of the project, estimates on job creation and the
economic impact for the City of Belvidere and an estimated timeline to complete. Our sincerest intention is to deliver a
project with thoughtful stewardship for the community of Belvidere.

Per your email below, Datawatt Energy would like to explore the utility easements related to the Bush family properties
and the potential costs to extend the utilities to our project site. In addition, we would like to visit about potential incentives

available to the project after annexation into the City.

After you had time to review and share with Mayor Morris, we would be happy to jump on a call at your convenience to
discuss the project in more detail.

If the provided deliverable is sufficient for your needs to set-up a call with the Bush family, we would like to arrange a call
next week Thursday or Friday, if possible.

Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving. David

Conor—

Thank you for taking the time to talk about the project. As we discussed, the City is requesting
additional information regarding the project including, but not limited to, land uses, jobs creation,
economic impact, timeline and scope of the project. The City would also like an idea of what requests
your client has of the City such as our current utility extension discussions as well as any other requests
your client my have. Obviously, we are a bit early in the discussions and | realize any information
provided or requests are somewhat preliminary in nature. However, it will give the administration

something to work with.

Upon receipt of this information, | can approach the Bush family about a meeting with the Hawkeye
team and the City team to discuss annexation of their properties in order to establish contiguity as well

as utility extensions.

* Property boundary is an approximation and is not true to scale.

Datawatt Energy is developing a digital
innovation complex anchored by a multi-
building data center campus. The
complex is to be sited on an
approximately 760-acre multi-parcel
property in Belvidere (Boone County),
Illinois. The property is currently zoned
agricultural and is controlled under a
purchase and sale agreement with a
single landowner.

The northern boundary of the property is
approximately one-quarter mile south of
Interstate 90 and conveniently located
90 minutes from downtown Chicago.

Core to the Datawatt strategy is securing
power from renewable energy sources to
support the sustainability profile of the
development. Datawatt plans to
interconnect the complex into a 345kV
ComEd transmission line transecting the
Property with an initial target for a
+1,000-megawatt data center campus.

Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for your call the other week to discuss Project Hawkeye. We appreciate your support.

Datawatt Energy is providing the attached brief outlining our vision of Project Hawkeye and the related benefits to the City
of Belvidere. In summary, the deck details our intended land use, scope of the project, estimates on job creation and the
economic impact for the City of Belvidere and an estimated timeline to complete. Our sincerest intention is to deliver a
project with thoughtful stewardship for the community of Belvidere.

Per your email below, Datawatt Energy would like to explore the utility easements related to the Bush family properties
and the potential costs to extend the utilities to our project site. In addition, we would like to visit about potential incentives

available to the project after annexation into the City.

After you had time to review and share with Mayor Morris, we would be happy to jump on a call at your convenience to
discuss the project in more detail.

If the provided deliverable is sufficient for your needs to set-up a call with the Bush family, we would like to arrange a call
next week Thursday or Friday, if possible.

Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving. David

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for your call the other week to discuss Project Hawkeye. We appreciate your
support.

Datawatt Energy is providing the attached brief outlining our vision of Project Hawkeye and the related
benefits to the City of Belvidere. In summary, the deck details our intended land use, scope of the project,
estimates on job creation and the economic impact for the City of Belvidere and an estimated timeline to
complete. Our sincerest intention is to deliver a project with thoughtful stewardship for the community of

Belvidere.

---- page 280 ----

Per your email below, Datawatt Energy would like to explore the utility easements related to the Bush
family properties and the potential costs to extend the utilities to our project site. In addition, we would like
to visit about potential incentives available to the project after annexation into the City.

After you had time to review and share with Mayor Morris, we would be happy to jump on a call at your
convenience to discuss the project in more detail.

If the provided deliverable is sufficient for your needs to set-up a call with the Bush family, we would like
to arrange a call next week Thursday or Friday, if possible.

Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving. David

Thank you for taking the time to talk about the project. As we discussed, the City is
requesting additional information regarding the project including, but not limited to,
land uses, jobs creation, economic impact, timeline and scope of the project. The City
would also like an idea of what requests your client has of the City such as our current
utility extension discussions as well as any other requests your client my

have. Obviously, we are a bit early in the discussions and | realize any information
provided or requests are somewhat preliminary in nature. However, it will give the
administration something to work with.

Upon receipt of this information, | can approach the Bush family about a meeting with
the Hawkeye team and the City team to discuss annexation of their properties in order
to establish contiguity as well as utility extensions.

Good Morning, Mayor Morris, Gina, Brent and Mike,
Thank you very much for the call last week to discuss Project Hawkeye.

In preparation for our discussion this week with our neighbor, | wanted to confirm details of the City’s water and sewer
plans. | believe mentioned on the call last week, water will be extended down to Fern Hill Rd south of I-90 and will abut
our property boundary (see attached document). For this, we will not require an easement /annexation from our
neighbor to extend service to us. However, from the attached document it appears that sewer service will be extended
into our neighbor’s property south of !-90. Therefore, we will require an easement / annexation to extend service to our

property bordering Fern Hill Rd?
Thank you for the clarification.

sanitary sewer to the site. We think we have found another path to provide sanitary sewer for your
project that does not implicate any Busch land. Unfortunately, it will not establish contiguity for
annexation, but at least it would allow access to full City utilities.

Please let me know when it would be convenient to discuss the new option.

I spoke with Mike Busch this morning. He is, of course, willing to take your call. | provided him your
name and number as well. His first reaction was a bit defensive as | think he was assuming it was a
residential project and he is planning some residential in the future in the area just north of 90. | did let
him know that the City was not currently considering approving any residential in the area that we are

talking about.

Hi Mayor Morris and Mike,

Conor and | are following up on an email he received earlier today from Mayor Morris and wanted to provide you with
an update on Project Hawkeye.

Our apologies for not connecting with you sooner and keeping you apprised of project status since last speaking with
you late last year. Our core focus has been on evaluating the interconnection process with ComEd and the timing of
power delivery to our site. We’ve had multiple conversations with ComEd to assess timing of submitting a load request
application and are hearing of a growing imbalance between the demand for power and ComEd’s current capacity to
supply this power. This imbalance is directly related to the high volume of load requests from data centers to ComEd
and the need for substantial investment in new power generation and transmission infrastructure to meet this power

demand.

Although we anticipated this imbalance in power demand / supply and structured our business model to address this
issue, the pace at which this imbalance has materialized has exceeded even the expectations of the broader power
industry. Just a year ago, ComEd was not signaling the significant shifts now shaping the energy landscape. ComEd is
now suggesting that delivery of power could extend beyond six years from submittal of load request. This long time
horizon makes it difficult to attract end-user data customers who require immediate access to power.

We have been working hard to find solutions that will bridge this gap in power supply and allow us to develop and
power the site independently of ComEd. We have an unwavering belief in the potential of Project Hawkeye and are
doing everything we can to create power solutions to deliver on this potential.

Conor and | would welcome a call at your convenience to discuss project status in greater detail. Let us know what works
best for you.

Best regards, David
