5.4 ERMUSR 10-11-2005 16 Elk River ' Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway phone: 763.441.2020 Elk River,MN 55330 Fax.763.441.8099 October 5, 2005 ' To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Jerry Takle John Dietz ' Jim Tralle From: Bryan Adams Subject: Target Data Center update ' Your staff and city attorney Peter Beck has had several meetings with Target concerning their proposed project in Elk River. Originally Target was adamant about having two independent sources of feed to their facility. I presented to them our 75% ratchet 11110 provision as a minimum bill which provided us the revenue to pay for their requested intrastructure regardless of their actual power and energy needs. Target ultimately decided that if they were to pay for redundant electrical feed, they would only require one ' electric feed. Attached for your review is the final electrical service agreement. Part of Targets initial request was two feeders from two different substations. Substation ' west and a new bay at station 14. We are currently upgrading the west substation to meet our normal system growth along with Target. This transformer was purchased last month. The station 14 substation upgrade was originally scheduled for the 2010 time ' frame, but was moved up to satisfy Targets initial request of 2 feeds. Now that Target only requests 1 feed, do we still go ahead with station 14 upgrade at an approximate cost of$80,000? Because Great River Energy is now allowing us to upgrade station 14 staff ' recommends we still proceed. ' Also attached is a proposed construction schedule for the substation and Target feed projects.

IWITNESSETH: I WHEREAS, Target is currently contemplating the acquisition of a certain parcel of land depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Site Plan") consisting of approximately 26.26 acres, which is platted as "Lot 1, Block 1, Elk Path Business Center, 3rd Addition" I (the "Property"); I WHEREAS, Target's current intention is to construct and operate a technology center on the Property (the "Project"); I WHEREAS, Target would not move forward with the acquisition of the Property and the development of the Project unless it receives adequate assurances that Municipal Utility will use its best efforts to assure that certain levels of electric service will be RPavailable to the Project; I WHEREAS, Target has requested that Municipal Utility install a new primary electrical feed for the Project capable of supplying 10.3 megawatts of power to the Project; and IWHEREAS, Municipal Utility has agreed to install the necessary substation and wires to provide the new primary electrical feed as requested by Target. I NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises Iand conditions hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. Electrical Power. Municipal Utility agrees to use its best efforts to deliver I the following electrical service to the Property by the dates set forth below (collectively, "Electric Power"): I (a) Temporary/Construction Power. Power service for construction of the Project with 300 kilowatt, 400 amps, 3 phase, 4 wire, 480 volt service. This Iservice will be available as of October 3, 2005. 1111) I I (b) Emergency Power. Emergency power service to the Project with 500 kilowatt, 600 amps, 3 phase, 4 wire, 480 volt service. This service will be available as of November 13, 2006. (c) New Primary Feed. A Primary Feed for power of 10.3 megawatts, 500 Iamps, 3 phase, 3 wire, 12,460 volt service. Municipal Utility will use its best efforts to provide the new Primary as soon as possible, but no later than November 13, 2006. The approximate location of the new Primary Feed is Idepicted on Exhibit B attached hereto. I 2. Down Time. Although Municipal Utility will use its best efforts to ensure the continuous operation of the new Primary Feed, Target acknowledges that supplying the Project with power from a single Primary Feed creates a risk that a substation failure, Icut line or other problem with the Primary Feed could result in Municipal Utilities inability to supply the desired 10.3 megawatts of power for an extended time. During any I time that the Primary Feed is down, Municipal Utility will only be able to supply approximately 2 megawatts of power to the Project from Municipal Utilities existing power system. Target acknowledges and accepts the risk of down time in the Primary I Feed and releases Municipal Utility from any claims arising from such down time except to the extent that Target would have such a claim under applicable law independent of this Agreement at law or in equity. RP 3. Cancellation Fees. Target acknowledges that Municipal Utility must order I the necessary equipment for the new Primary Feed and substation equipment immediately, and hereby agrees that if Target fails to construct the Project, then Target shall be responsible for the payment of fees actually incurred by Municipal Utility for I cancellation of those orders up to a maximum amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00). I4. Cost of Electric Charges. Target and Municipal Utility hereby agree that Target shall pay for Electric Power as follows ("Electric Charges"): I (a) Commercial/Industrial Rates. Target shall pay the "Commercial/Industrial" rates as promulgated from time to time by I Municipal Utility in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, with the exception set forth in Section 4(b) below. The current "Commercial/Industrial" rates are set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. (b) Most Favored Nation. Municipal Utility agrees that Target shall not be I required to pay Electric Charges at a higher rate than that paid or which would be payable by any other customer of Municipal Utility, with the following exceptions: I I (i) Municipal Utility may, in its sole discretion, charge a lower rate to a I customer which is paying for more than 10.3 megawatts of electricity, without having to reduce Target's rate; and I (ii) If Municipal Utility's power suppliers impose a surcharge or "ratcheted rate" on large power users, which surcharge or rate applies to Target, Municipal Utilities shall have the right to pass such surcharge or Iratcheted rate on to Target. I (c) Target shall pay for one-half of metering facility costs for the Project, currently estimated to be approximately $15,000, depending on the final metering arrangement. I 5.
