This SOW (and all Exhibits attached hereto), pursuant to the Microsoft Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (together with the SOW, the “Agreement”), is entered into by the parties and effective as of the SOW Effective Date above. Terms not defined herein will have the meaning provided in the PO Terms.

This SOW, in Exhibit F, sets out certain agreed changes to the PO Terms (the “Amended PO Terms”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the PO Terms, if there is a conflict between this SOW, including the Amended PO Terms, and the PO Terms, then the SOW will control.

1. Service Descriptions, Delivery Dates, and Service End Dates

1.1 Nebius will perform or deliver to Microsoft under the Agreement the services described in this SOW (collectively, the “Services”). The parties agree that the Services under this SOW are “Cloud Services” for the purposes of the PO Terms and that there are no Goods, Services or Deliverables provided under this SOW.

a.

This Agreement shall commence of the date hereof and shall continue until the last GPU Service End Date provided in Table 1 (the “Term”), and may be terminated solely in accordance with Section 3.3 of this SOW and Section 14 of Exhibit F. During the Term, Nebius will provide and make available to Microsoft Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and hosting services, at the Data Center Location. The Data Center Location shall be the data center facilities located at [*].

b.

Nebius will deliver the GPU infrastructure by tranche, by its corresponding Delivery Date as set out in Table 1, each such GPU tranche being a “GPU Service”. The Service Term of each GPU Service will begin upon its Acceptance by Microsoft in accordance with the acceptance process described in Section 2.2 and end on [*]. The Service Term of each additional service will begin and end in accordance with the terms agreed for such service, aligned to the approach set out in this Section.


c.

Microsoft acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of this reservation, it is obligated to pay the Fees for each GPU Service accepted in accordance with Section 2 for the entirety of its Service Term, irrespective of the actual usage or consumption of such GPU Service by Microsoft.

d.

The parties acknowledge that the assumptions underlying the number of GPUs to be deployed as outlined in Table 1 below include an initial reserve of data center power capacity for Microsoft deployment of storage and other non-GPU compute purposes supporting the GPU Services at the Data Center Location (the “Additional Power Capacity Reserve”). Following the signing of this SOW, the parties will work in good faith to finalize the design, requirements and pricing for such additional services. To the extent that it is not required for such purposes, the parties agree that the Additional Power Capacity Reserve will be utilized through the deployment of additional GPUs. For clarity, such additional GPUs shall be charged separately, in accordance with the GPU prices set out in Section 3.1 and the upfront / monthly payment percentages set out in Section 3.2, and in addition to the GPUs set out in Table 1 below.

e.

For example, in the event the parties assess that the Additional Power Capacity Reserve is not required in full and the available additional power will support increasing the total number of GPUs by up to [*] GPUs, the total Service Fees would be estimated to increase from $[*] up to $[*].

1.1A Completion Condition

a.

Nebius has informed Microsoft that it is seeking to obtain financing, and that the arrangement anticipated by this Agreement will be an important factor in obtaining such financing.

b.

Nebius shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure the financing is available and in place, via an executed arrangement, by no later than [*] days from the effective date of this Agreement.

c.

On request, Microsoft will provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate the financing, provided this does not unreasonably disrupt Microsoft’s ongoing business.

d.

Once the financing is obtained, Nebius shall evidence the same to Microsoft.

e.

This Agreement becomes effective upon signing and delivery by both parties however, except as otherwise provided in this provision, neither party will have any obligations under the Agreement until either of the Completion Scenarios, as described below, are satisfied in accordance with sub-section f. below.

f.

Completion Scenarios:

(i)

Nebius obtains the financing related to this Agreement and evidences it to Microsoft in accordance with this provision; or

(ii)

Nebius can finance this Agreement’s capital expenditure without the need for financing related to this Agreement, and notifies Microsoft in writing of the same.


g.

Nebius can notify Microsoft of the satisfaction of either of the Completion Scenarios at any time within the [*] day period from the effective date of this Agreement, and on such notice the Agreement shall be deemed completed and both parties’ shall be subject to their obligations, and rights under the same.

h.

If neither of the Completion Scenarios is completed in accordance with this provision within the [*] day period from the effective date of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be considered not to have come into effect, other than with regard to this provision, and both parties waive any claims they may have against each other with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement and its related negotiations.

i.

For clarity, there shall be no payment of any fees by Microsoft under this Agreement until either of the Completion Scenarios is successfully completed in accordance with this provision.

j.

Nebius acknowledges that the first GPU Service Delivery Date, as set out in Table 1 below, is within the [*] day period anticipated by this provision. The actual Delivery Date for the first GPU Service Delivery Date shall be the later of: (i) [*] (as set out in Table 1) or (ii) the date on which until either of the Completion Scenarios is successfully completed in accordance with this provision.

If Nebius develops and implements future GPU capacity at the Data Center Location, Microsoft shall have a right of first of offer to contract such GPU capacity in this new development.

b.

As part of its implementation of such future GPU capacity, Nebius shall notify Microsoft in writing of such additional capacity before any other third party, along with the price ($/GPU/hr) for such GPUs, prepayment amount, delivery dates, and term (“ROFO Terms”).

c.

Microsoft shall have [*] calendar days from receipt of such notice to elect, in writing, to contract the GPU capacity on such terms as an additional service under this Agreement.

d.

If Microsoft declines or fails to respond within the [*]-day period, Nebius may offer and contract the GPU capacity to third parties on terms no more favorable than the ROFO Terms offered to Microsoft, provided such transaction is completed within [*] calendar days of the offer to Microsoft.

2. Acceptance Process

Each GPU Service shall be subject to the following acceptance process (“Acceptance”):

Supplier Validation

[*]

Acceptance Period

Microsoft shall have [*] days following receipt of the Delivery Notice (“Acceptance Period”) to conduct its own testing and validation against the agreed-upon Acceptance Criteria in Exhibit C.

* Indicative Monthly Payments are calculated based on a [*] month and taking into account a prepayment of [*]%. These figures are included for illustrative purposes only. The actual monthly installment amounts for GPU Services will be calculated on the basis outlined in Section 3.2.a.iii below.


a.

Milestone Payment Calculations.

i.

The total amount owed for each GPU Service will be calculated by multiplying the number of GPUs by the corresponding Price and by the number of hours in the corresponding Service Term (“Total Amount”).

ii.

Each GPU Service Upfront Payment, in the table above, is calculated as [*] of the Tranche Value specified for each specific GPU Service in the table in Section 3.2 above.

iii.

The monthly installment amount for a GPU Service milestone will be calculated by multiplying the number of GPUs in the GPU Service by the Price per GPU multiplied by the number of hours in the month, and multiplying by [*] to reflect the necessary adjustment given the payment of the Upfront Amount. Microsoft will pay monthly installments in arrears over the course of the Service Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Services are provided during the Term, and which (a) do not form part of the Services as at the effective date of this Agreement, (b) have been mutually agreed to in writing, and (c) are subject to a separate charge, then Nebius shall be entitled to invoice Microsoft for such Services in accordance with this Agreement.

b.

When raising an invoice for a GPU Service Tranche, Nebius may only raise an invoice for a milestone on or after the Earliest Invoice Date. Microsoft will pay all invoices within [*] days from the date of invoice.

c.

Total Amounts are exclusive of sales tax, which will be included on each invoice, as applicable.

d.

Payment Method: All payments must be made by Wire or ACH transfer.

e.

Nebius will be solely responsible for all expenses it incurs while performing the Services, unless Microsoft otherwise consents in writing.

f.

In respect of the GPU Service 1 Upfront Payment, once the GPU Service is to be deployed in accordance with Section 1.1.A.j, Microsoft shall pay such invoice as soon as possible and in any event within [*] days of receiving the invoice.

3.3 Early and Late Delivery

a.

If Nebius becomes aware that a GPU Service item is likely to be delivered to Microsoft later than the applicable Delivery Date (as identified in Table 1), it will inform Microsoft (i) of such delay within [*] business days and (ii) of the anticipated date on which the item is likely to be delivered. Nebius will continue to keep Microsoft informed of any further delays in delivery within [*] business days after Nebius becomes aware of such delays.

b.

If a GPU Service is not Accepted by Microsoft by the end of its applicable Acceptance Period, then a credit of Liquidated Damages (as described in sub-section c below) shall be applied from the day after the applicable, failed Acceptance Period.

c.

The Liquidated Damages shall when payable for a GPU Service in accordance with sub-section b above, equal, for each day of delay, [*] of the daily bill for each day until the GPU Service is successfully delivered, or subject to sub-section d below.

d.

If: (i) a GPU Service has not been Accepted within [*] days following the end of the applicable


Acceptance Period (the “Grace Period”); or (ii) Nebius’s notifications to Microsoft make clear that a GPU Service, in Microsoft’s reasonable judgment, is not likely to be Accepted within the Grace Period, and Nebius cannot deliver an equivalent capacity (as determined by Microsoft in its sole reasonable discretion) by the Delivery Date, Microsoft may elect to either terminate the applicable GPU Service or agree to an updated Delivery Date (the “Updated Delivery Date”), such election to be exercised by no later than the final day of the Grace Period. Liquidated Damages shall no longer be payable after the Grace Period in respect of the relevant GPU Services. If Microsoft elects to terminate the applicable GPU Service, Nebius shall refund the Upfront Payment paid by Microsoft for such GPU Service, less any Liquidated Damages Paid in relation to such GPU Service. Such refund shall be payable within [*] days of the effective date of termination of the applicable GPU Service.

e.

If Microsoft has agreed to an Updated Delivery Date under Section 3.3.c and the applicable GPU Service is not delivered on or before the Updated Delivery Date, the applicable GPU Service will be deemed terminated by Microsoft, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

f.

If a specific GPU Service is terminated by Microsoft in accordance with its right in this Section 3.3, Microsoft will have no obligation to pay for that GPU Service.

g.

If Nebius can deliver a GPU Service on an earlier date than the Delivery Date (the “Early Delivery Date”), then Nebius may propose the Early Delivery Date to Microsoft at least [*] days prior to such Early Delivery Date. Microsoft shall have [*] business days from the date of Nebius’s proposal to accept or reject such proposed Early Delivery Date (provided that Microsoft shall not reject such proposed Early Delivery Date unless it has a commercially reasonable basis). Microsoft’s acceptance or failure to respond within such [*] days shall constitute acceptance of the Early Delivery Date, which shall be deemed the Delivery Date of such GPU Service. In the event of Microsoft’s rejection within such [*] days, the Delivery Date of such GPU Service shall not change and the proposed Early Delivery Date shall not be valid.

h.

Nebius will not deliver a tranche until all tranches with an earlier Delivery Date have been successfully merged with the existing production tranche(s); provided that Nebius can still deliver a tranche early in the event there has not been a successful merging of previously delivered tranches due to events outside of Nebius’s reasonable control (including Client’s failure to timely perform its obligations and responsibilities). A tranche has been successfully merged with the existing production tranche or tranches if all tranches in a given cluster are operating as a single compute cluster. For the avoidance of doubt, any delivery delays arising out of Nebius’s compliance with this Section 3.4.h will not trigger the terms (including, without limitation, Microsoft’s termination rights) described in Sections 3.4(a-g).

4. Enhanced Ticketing Workflow & Monitoring

Supplier acknowledges Microsoft’s interest in improving the efficiency of Supplier’s ticketing workflow. To support this goal, Supplier commits to dedicating engineering resources to collaborate with Microsoft’s technical teams. This collaboration will begin with a joint discovery workshop, to be completed within [*] days of the SOW Effective Date, with the objective of defining current-state challenges and desired future-state requirements. The output of this workshop will be a mutually agreed-upon project plan that outlines the scope, timeline, and resource allocation for developing and implementing a streamlined solution.
