Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all utility acquisitions and other additions by a direct or indirect subsidiary of GW, LLC shall be reported to FATHOM in a timely manner, regardless of GW, LLC’s desire to add such utility to the Platform. |
(A) GW, LLC will provide to FATHOM written notice of its intent to acquire or otherwise add a New Utility Company. Subject to Section 2.6(B) below, GW, LLC shall require the New Utility Company to execute a joinder in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H – Service Agreement Joinder upon the New Utility Company’s acquisition and GW, LLC shall deliver a copy of the executed joinder to FATHOM. Upon FATHOM’s receipt of a copy of the executed joinder: (a) FATHOM and GW, LLC will be deemed to have amended Exhibit E – GW, LLC Active Regulated Utilities by adding the New Utility Company to the aforementioned Exhibit; (b) the New Utility Company will become a party to this Agreement and will be a “Customer” for the purposes of this Agreement; and (c) any and all references in this Agreement to “Customer” shall be deemed to include, and shall be applicable to, the New Utility Company.
(B) Either party may request to exclude a specific New Utility Company from the Platform in whole or in part and this Agreement on a case by case basis provided that GW, LLC does not attempt to replicate the Platform in whole or in part for that or any other private regulated utility that is a direct or indirect subsidiary of GW, LLC. If the exemption is at FATHOM’s request, GW, LLC may replicate the Platform or any element of the Platform excluded per FATHOM’s request. Such a request may be made by providing the other Party with written notice of such request along with a justification for the request for the other Party’s review and approval. Under such a review, the fee structure of this Agreement may be negotiated in good faith. For a New Utility Company that will be utilizing only a portion of the Platform,
5
upon FATHOM’s approval, GW, LLC shall require the New Utility Company to execute a joinder in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H – Service Agreement Joinder upon the New Utility Company’s acquisition and GW, LLC shall deliver a copy of the executed joinder to FATHOM. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expected that all New Utilities will be added to the Platform and become a party to this Agreement, and that this Section 2.6(B) shall apply only for those particular New Utilities with extenuating circumstances.
(C) For any New Utility Company that becomes a party to this Agreement on or prior to December 31, 2020, FATHOM agrees that it will not charge any implementation or similar fee in connection with the addition of the New Utility Company’s customers other than the then applicable monthly fee.

Any unpaid invoices or amounts not paid in accordance with Section 3.1, and remain unpaid for a period of ten (10) days from the due date of the invoice will be subject to interest and late fees in accordance with Exhibit A. GW, LLC’s failure to pay any fees within five (5) days following written notice from FATHOM may, at FATHOM’s sole discretion, result in FATHOM exercising any of its rights and remedies at law and in equity, including but not limited to terminating Customer’s Access and/or disconnecting Customer from FATHOM’s servers and other connection providers without notice to Customer. Customer agrees to pay FATHOM the costs associated with the disconnection of services under this Section 3.2. |
3.3. | FATHOM’s fees for any services provided to Customer under this Agreement will be adjusted annually as provided for in Exhibit A. |
3.4. | The fees listed in this Agreement do not include taxes.

3.5. | FATHOM will maintain an automated lock-box for receipt of all utility bill payments made through the FATHOM™ Platform associated with the scope of this Agreement.

Each day FATHOM shall issue payment to Customer equal to the cash collected by FATHOM in connection with |
6
the total utility bill payments generated during the prior day of the Customer Collections.

Any payments due from Customer to FATHOM pursuant to this Agreement shall be invoiced and paid directly by Customer.

The Parties acknowledge that the Royalty Payment may exceed the fees owed to FATHOM pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement and the Royalty Payment shall not be limited in any way by the payments due and owing under Section 3.1 of this Agreement. No change of business method, or action taken by either Party provides a basis for reducing or terminating the royalty payment owed, and to be owed, to GWRI pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FATHOM will continue to make the Royalty Payment per the terms outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement provided that this Agreement (including any mutually agreed upon amendments) is active, GW, LLC is still utilizing the Platform and that all undisputed fees owed to FATHOM are paid in full. |

Notwithstanding the above, the Parties may mutually agree, in writing, to a longer Cure Period. |

15.3. | Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event GWRI or the Customer sells one or more of the private regulated utilities indicated in Exhibit E prior to and including June 5, 2023, and the acquirer makes such a transaction contingent upon the termination of the Agreement for that utility only, the Customer and FATHOM agree to renegotiate an increase in FATHOM fees contained within this contract. The negotiation shall be in good faith and shall be only with respect to the reapportion of the necessary ongoing revenues and costs contemplated under this Agreement to reflect the sale of the private regulated utility. No increase in fees negotiated shall take into account time periods after June 5, 2023. Once a mutually acceptable fee has been agreed upon by FATHOM and the Customer, FATHOM shall consent to the termination of the Agreement with regards to only the private regulated utility being sold in accordance with a to be established transition schedule and such private regulated utility shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.
