OEI 5 min TO ppwer vs 10 min TO power

I'm trying to understand the performance differences between a business jet who is certified for One Engine Inoperative (OEI) take off power of 5 minutes vs the same model whose engines are certified for OEI TO power of 10 minutes. If a SID departure requires a climb gradient of 400 feet per NM, shouldn't either aircraft have the same weight limits? From what I've seen in the performance charts, the 10 minute aircraft can go with a slightly higher weight. This just doesn't make sense to me so I must be missing something. Thank you.
