Takeoff Thrust Time Limit 5/10 minutes

Hi,

Takeoff thrust may be used only for a maximum of five minutes, with one exception: the time limit is extended to ten minutes for airlines that have purchased a special Airplane Flight Manual appendix called the “ten-minute appendix”. The Certificate Limitations section of that appendix states specifically:
“The time limit on the use of takeoff thrust is increased to 10 minutes provided this use is limited to situations where an engine failure actually occurs and there is an obstacle in the takeoff flight path.”
I thought the takeoff thrust time limit is 5 minutes with AEO and this time is increased to 10 minutes regardless of the existence of an obstacle in the takeoff path. What do you think?
Is the 10 minutes time limit a basic item in all airliners or an option that an airline/operator has to purchase?

Assume there is engine failure during takeoff after V1. For some reason the crew during the turn back want to perform a go-around. The 10 minutes takeoff thrust time limit may be already exhausted before the Go-around.
I am wondering if the crew can use takeoff thrust during the go-around or the crew must land ASAP without go-around.

Feedback appreciated.
