W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer is a public body corporate and politic and a development authority duly created pursuant to the Development Authorities Law of the State of Georgia, O.C.G.A. § 36-62-1, et seq., as amended (the “Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Act provides that the Issuer is created to develop and promote trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities for the public good and the general welfare and is authorized by the Act to issue its revenue bonds to acquire “projects” (as defined in the Act) which shall be operated and used by private sector persons, firms or corporations in their trades and businesses; the Issuer’s revenue bonds are to be issued and validated under and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Revenue Bond Law of the State of Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 36-82-60, et seq.), as heretofore and hereafter amended, and other applicable provisions of law; and

WHEREAS, the Act further authorizes and empowers the Issuer: (i) to lease any such project at a rental which, together with other revenues which may be pledged for such purpose, shall be sufficient to pay debt service on such revenue bonds and to pay all other expenses which the Issuer may incur in connection with the undertaking; (ii) to pledge, mortgage, convey, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber such projects and the revenues therefrom as security for the Issuer’s revenue bonds; and (iii) to do any and all acts and things necessary or convenient to accomplish the purpose and powers of the Issuer; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes to issue its revenue bonds (the “Bonds”) in the form of up to four (4) draw-down instruments in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000,000 (the “Maximum Principal Amount”), to be issued and to be designated as “Development Authority of Jasper County, Morgan County, Newton County and Walton County Taxable Revenue Bonds (Rivian Horizon, LLC Project), Series 2022,” plus an appropriate series designation, which shall mature on December 1, 2047. Each of the Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A to the Bond Resolution (as hereinafter defined), with such variations, omissions, substitutions, legends and insertions as may be approved by the official of the Issuer who executes such Bonds and by the Bond Purchaser; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer leases certain land located in Morgan County, Georgia and Walton County, Georgia (the “Land”) from the State of Georgia pursuant to an Intergovernmental Lease Agreement dated September 2, 2022 (as amended, the “State Lease”); and


WHEREAS, using the proceeds of the Bonds (whether derived directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Bonds), the Issuer will, directly or indirectly, acquire, in whole or in part, a leasehold interest under the State Lease in certain improvements to real property, including buildings and other improvements (the “Buildings”), as well as a fee interest in certain machinery, equipment, and other personal property (the “Equipment”) constituting vehicle manufacturing and research, development, testing, sales and/or service facilities, including potential battery manufacturing facilities, and related facilities to be located on the Land and an economic development project under O.C.G.A. § 36-62-2(6)(N) and 36-80-25 (the Land, Buildings and Equipment are referred to collectively as the “Project”) in order to promote economic development and job creation and to facilitate a property tax incentive for the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Land and Buildings shall be owned by the State and leased to the Issuer under the State Lease, and the Equipment shall be owned by the Issuer; and the Issuer shall make available the entire Project for the Company’s use under a Rental Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2023 (the “Rental Agreement”), under the terms of which the Company will make rental payments and other payments at such times and in such amounts as will be required to pay debt service on the Bonds as and when the same becomes due, subject to the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement and the Bond Resolution permitting constructive payment of same; the Rental Agreement shall become effective upon the delivery thereof and its term is to end upon the final maturity of the Bonds or, if sooner redeemed pursuant to the Bond Resolution or the Bonds, the date of redemption, and in any event, subject to that certain Option Agreement between the Issuer and the Company dated of even date herewith; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Issuer (the “Bond Resolution”) authorizing the issuance of the Bonds and the execution of this Agreement and the other agreements relating to the Bonds, the Issuer is pledging, as security for the payment of the Bonds, the Security therefor, including, but not limited to, certain rental payments to be received by the Issuer under the Rental Agreement, the Issuer’s interest in the Rental Agreement (except for certain Reserved Rights), and proceeds of the foregoing; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used herein and which are not defined herein shall be defined as set forth in the Bond Resolution; and

WHEREAS, the Bond Purchaser desires to purchase the Bonds, as the same are issued, and to advance funds or transfer items of property (including, without limitation, the Project) or other legal consideration to the Issuer hereunder, initially on the date of issuance of the Bonds and thereafter from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Bonds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Bond Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell to the Bond Purchaser, the Issuer’s Bonds, as the same are issued, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000,000, in order to directly or indirectly fund the costs, in whole or in part, of the Project. A Bond in the maximum principal amount of $5,000,000,000 will be issued initially, as described in the Bond Resolution, and up to three (3) additional Bonds may be issued from time to time thereafter, subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in the Bond Resolution. Each of the Bonds will be issued as a “draw down” instrument, with advances of the principal amount thereof (each, an “Advance”) to be made by the Bond Purchaser from time to time on each Bond as more fully described herein.

 

2


2. Advance Requests. Advances may be made only with respect to Costs of the Project and costs of issuance of the Bonds. An initial Advance shall be made with respect to each Bond on the date such Bond is issued; all or some portion of such Advance may be made in cash to pay or to reimburse issuance costs relating to such Bond. Thereafter, from time to time, the Company, on behalf of the Issuer, may make one or more requests for advances with respect to each Bond, which shall, when aggregated with prior Advances, not exceed the maximum principal amount of such Bond. Each requisition and advance request for Costs of the Project submitted by the Company to the Issuer, the Custodian and the Bond Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02 of the Bond Resolution and Section 4.4 of the Rental Agreement (a “Requisition”) shall be deemed a request of the Company to the Issuer and the Bond Purchaser for an Advance to pay or reimburse the Company for Costs of the Project. Upon receipt of a Requisition, the Bond Purchaser shall make an Advance, in the manner described in Section 3 below, toward the purchase price of the applicable Bond. All Advances made hereunder shall be evidenced by the applicable Bond and shall represent a portion of the principal amount advanced thereunder. The amount of each Advance shall be sufficient (together with any amounts available for such purpose in the Project Fund established under the Bond Resolution) to pay the corresponding Requisition, up to the maximum principal amount of such Bond.

3. Funding Advance Requests. The Issuer and the Bond Purchaser hereby agree that each Advance shall be paid by the Bond Purchaser either (i) directly to the Company, as reimbursement for Costs of the Project incurred, to an account designated by the Company to the Bond Purchaser and Issuer in writing, or (ii) directly to a third party or parties, as payment for Costs of the Project incurred by such parties, all as set forth in the corresponding Requisition submitted by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company and the Bond Purchaser are the same party, and provided that an Advance is for payment to the account of the Company as provided in clause (i) above, then the Bond Purchaser may make such Advance constructively, as provided in Section 4.02 of the Bond Resolution, by ledger entry or other internal notation, and by making the notation on the applicable Bond described in Section 1(c) above, without the necessity of funds being transferred. In such an event, the Bond Purchaser shall be deemed to have made the Advance, in the amount set forth in the Requisition, directly to the Company, as a reimbursement from the proceeds of the applicable Bond for Costs of the Project incurred. Alternatively, the Bond Purchaser may make an Advance by transferring to (i) the Issuer, in the case of Equipment title to property with a value not less than the amount requested on the Company’s Requisition, and (ii) to the State, in the case of Buildings or other improvements to the Land, title to property with a value not less than the amount requested on the Company’s Requisition. The Issuer will be deemed to have accepted title to all Equipment so conveyed. The provisions of this Section 3 are contemplated in Section 4.02 of the Bond Resolution and Section 4.4 of the Rental Agreement, and shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Bond Resolution or Rental Agreement. So long as this Section 3 is in effect, neither the Issuer nor the Custodian shall have any obligations with respect to funding Requisitions submitted by the Company, making any other transfer of funds into or out of the Project Fund, except as otherwise directed in writing by the Company or the Issuer.

4. Payment of Bonds by Home Office Payment Agreement.

(a) The Issuer agrees and directs that all amounts payable to the Bond Purchaser with respect to the Bonds shall be made directly from the Company (in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to pay Basic Rent under the Rental Agreement) to the Bond Purchaser (without any presentment of the Bonds, except upon payment of the final installment of principal of a Bond, and without any notation of such payment being made thereon) by transmitting before 11:00 A.M., Atlanta, Georgia time (on each date on which interest or principal and interest on the Bonds becomes due) by bank wire transfer to the Bond Purchaser or in such other manner or at such address in the United States as may be designated by the Bond Purchaser in writing. Any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be accompanied by sufficient information to identify the source and proper application of such payment.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Bond Purchaser and the Company are the same entity, payments of debt service on the Bonds may be made by the Company to the Bond Purchaser by ledger entry or other internal notation without any necessity of funds being transmitted. The Issuer shall not be deemed to have any notice of any failure of the Company to make any payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds when due unless it has received notice in writing from the Bond Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 4 apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Bond Resolution and constitute a “home office payment agreement” as contemplated by Section 4.03 of the Bond Resolution. So long as this home office payment agreement is in effect, (i) the Issuer shall not have any responsibility to make payments itself in respect of such Bonds, nor shall it be obligated to collect payments of Basic Rent or to take any other action in respect thereof, except at the express written direction of the Company or the Issuer; and (ii) the “Bond Fund” referred to in the Bond Resolution and the Rental Agreement shall not be established or utilized.

(c) The Bond Purchaser agrees to notify the Issuer and any Paying Agent of any failure of the Company to make any payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds when due. The Bond Purchaser agrees that if any Bond is sold or transferred it will notify the Issuer and the Company of the name and address of the transferee and it will, prior to delivery of such Bond, make a notation on such Bond of the date to which interest has been paid thereon and of the amount of any prepayments made on account of the principal thereof.
