Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.13(d), in any month in which the Monthly Contract Capacity of any Unit(s) as established pursuant to Section 3.13(d)(i), (ii), (iv) or (v) is less than the RA Capacity of such Unit(s), the Monthly Contract Capacity shall equal the RA Capacity.
(iv) In the event that (1) as a result of a Seasonal Capacity Test the Monthly Contract Capacities are adjusted downward pursuant to Section 3.13(d)(ii), or the Actual Tested Heat Rate at Peak Load exceeds the Guaranteed Heat Rate Point at Peak Load by more than 4%, or (2) upon the completion of Scheduled Maintenance, Seller may request an additional Capacity Test (“Seller’s Capacity Test”) to be performed. A Seller’s Capacity Test must commence no later than ten (10) Business Days after completion of the Seasonal Capacity Test showing the low test results, the completion of the Scheduled Maintenance, or the completion of the remedial maintenance or repairs, which shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.10(e) or (f), as applicable, and shall be performed in accordance with the Test Procedures, except that (A) Seller shall provide Buyer with Notice of its request to test and the proposed starting and end times of the Seller’s Capacity Test no later than three Business Day before it commences; (B) Buyer shall evaluate Seller’s proposal and, in its sole discretion, either grant such request or identify two alternative start and stop times from which Seller may elect, and to which Buyer will consent; and (C) if performance of the Seller’s Capacity Test would require operation of the Units during hours other than when Scheduled Operations are occurring or require Start-Ups or Shut-Downs not required by Scheduled Operations, Buyer shall schedule the Unit with the CAISO (and such other Transmission Provider, if any, as applicable) accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, operations, Start-Ups and Shut-Downs required for Seller’s Capacity Test that are not required for Scheduled Operations shall not be deemed to be part of Scheduled Operations and Seller shall bear the costs or receive the benefits of such operations, Start-Ups and Shut-Downs in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(e), 3.3(f) and 3.5(c) as applicable. The Tested Capacity as determined through the Seller’s Capacity Test shall be used to determine the Monthly Contract Capacities in the same manner as the Tested Capacity determined through a Seasonal Capacity Test as provided in Section 3.13(d)(ii) and (iii) and the adjustment shall be effective as of the first day of the month following the month in which the Seller’s Capacity Test occurs.
(v) In addition to the Seasonal Capacity Test required above, Buyer may request up to two additional Capacity Tests in any Contract Year which shall be performed in accordance with the Test Procedures and upon no less than 24 hours written Notice to Seller (“Buyer’s Capacity Test”). Buyer shall bear all costs of each Buyer’s Capacity Tests in excess of the costs the Seller would bear due to dispatch of the Units during a non-test period (“Additional Test Costs”), accept and pay for all Energy produced during a Buyer’s Capacity Test and supply and deliver the Gas required for such testing at its expense. The Tested Capacity as determined through the Buyer’s Capacity Test shall be used to determine the Monthly Contract Capacity in the same manner as the Tested Capacity determined through a Seasonal Capacity Test as provided in Section 3.13(d)(ii) and (iii) and the adjustment shall be effective as of the first day of the month following the month in which the Buyer’s Capacity Test occurs. To the extent Seller incurs Additional Test Costs, it shall invoice Buyer and Buyer shall pay such costs, provided that invoicing and payment for all amounts due from one Party to the other Party as necessary to implement this provision shall be done pursuant to Article VI.
