3. Global Access Commitments

In furtherance of the Charitable Purpose, Company agrees to the following “Global Access Commitments”:

[…]

(d) Volume Commitment

[…]

(v) Volume Commitment Rollover. During the Term of this GACA, in the event that during a calendar year the full amount of the Annual Minimum Supply is not committed for purchase by applicable Public Sector Purchasers (“Undemanded Capacity“), Company shall have the right to allocate such Undemanded Capacity as it sees fit and the same amount of Undemanded Capacity shall be rolled over into one or more extended years, depending on the amount of such Undemanded Capacity, which shall thereby extend the Term of this GACA (“Extended Term“). During the Extended Term, the terms and conditions of this GACA shall apply, until the Aggregate Minimum Supply is met. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this GACA, this volume commitment rollover provides for an Extended Term that ensures that Company provides the Aggregate Minimum Supply over the Term or Extended Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may, but will not be obligated to, provide more than the Annual Minimum Supply to Public Sector Purchasers within any given calendar year during the Term or Extended Term. The Parties agree that in any event, the Extended Term shall not exceed five (5) additional years at which time the Volume Commitment will be deemed fulfilled.
