1. The Guaranteed Heat Rate (“GHR”) for the Unit is 10,000 Btu/kWh (HHV) (higher heating value or “HHV”).
2. Each month Seller will perform a comparison of the Actual Heat Rate (“AHR”) for the Unit against the GHR, as follows:
(a) For every month, Seller will measure the Actual Heat Rate (“AHR”) for the Unit for all hours in which the following three conditions are satisfied (“AHR Hours”): (i) the Unit was Scheduled by Buyer, (ii) Seller delivered the full Final Physical Energy Schedule for the Unit to Buyer and (iii) the Unit operated at steady-state and at full load (including minor variations in output due to changes in ambient conditions, but not including ramping up or down or planned or unplanned discontinuation of operations). Such monthly AHR will be measured in Btu/kWh (HHV) using the sum of the Designated Hourly Fuel Consumption for each Contract Year shall be as follows (AHR Hour of the month divided by the sum of the Final Physical Energy Schedules for each such hour of the month. For purposes of this calculation, the “Energy Price”): provided, however, that: if Seller delivers Bundled Green Energy in Designated Hourly Fuel Consumption” for the aggregate for any CAISO settlement interval (not to exceed one hour) in excess of Unit is the product of (i) Final Physical Energy Schedule divided by Unadjusted Metered Energy for that hour, multiplied by (ii) actual fuel consumption of the Contract Capacity times the length of such settlement interval, expressed in hours, then the Energy Price Unit for such excess Bundled Green Energy in such settlement interval shall be reduced to zero dollars hour as measured by the Gas Metering Equipment.
($0), and if the real time Locational Marginal Price b) The GHR for the Delivery Point during such settlement interval is less than zero dollars ($0)Month and the AHR for the Delivery Month will be used to determine the Billing Heat Rate for the monthly Energy Price in that Delivery Month as set forth in Section H above.
3. The Operations Committee shall evaluate, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal and may recommend to the absolute value of such negative Locational Marginal Price times such excess Bundled Green Energy; if Parties, procedures to provide additional incentives to Seller delivers Bundled Green Energy in to maintain low actual heat rate for the aggregate Unit.

The Variable O&M Rate for the remainder term of that Contract Year shall be reduced to zero dollars (the Agreement is $0), and for each CAISO settlement interval during that time in which the real time Locational Marginal Price is less than zero dollars ($0), Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of such negative Locational Marginal Price times the Bundled Green Energy delivered during such settlement interval; Monthly Energy Payment. For each month, 12.00 / MWh.
K. Start-up Payment Buyer shall pay Seller for the Product an amount equal to the sum for each hour in the month of the product of the Energy Price times the Bundled Green Energy in each hour (a Monthly Start Payment or “Monthly Energy Payment”). Monthly Energy Payment = ∑ Energy Price x Bundled Green Energy For any period where the quantity of Bundled Green Energy is less than the quantity of Delivered Energy and the quantity of Bundled Green Energy cannot practicably be determined for each settlement interval during such period (for example, where WREGIS does not specify in which settlement periods Renewable Energy Credits were delivered or not delivered), then the quantity of Bundled Green Energy for any settlement interval during the entire period shall be MSP” equal to the product of the quantity Start Price (“SP”) of Delivered Energy for a settlement interval multiplied by the quotient $1,000.00 per successful start of the aggregate quantity Unit times the number of Green Attributes successful starts of the Unit in the month in response to a start request from Buyer. A start is deemed successful where the Unit has either: (i) reached its Final Physical Energy Schedule or (ii) the Unit is in a steady state of operation for one (1) hour following the initiation of the start sequence (“Successful Start”). Buyer is not obligated to pay the Start Price for unsuccessful starts or for starts not requested by Buyer. Buyer is entitled to no more than two (2) Successful Starts per day.
L. Start Fuel Price (“SFP”)
1. For each Successful Start in response to a start request from Buyer and using fuel supplied by Seller pursuant to the Approved Fuel Plan, Buyer shall pay Seller a “Start Fuel Price” or “SFP” as follows: where, BSF is the “Billing Start Fuel” which shall be the lesser of the Actual Start Fuel (“ASF”) or the Guaranteed Start Fuel (“GSF”), expressed in mmBtu/start (HHV) where, ASF is the amount of fuel consumed during the period commencing upon the initiation of the starting sequence and ending when either (i) for Successful Starts, the Unit has reached its Final Physical Energy Schedule or one (1) hour following the initiation of the start sequence, or (ii) for unsuccessful starts, the attempt to start is terminated and the Unit begins an outage; “Guaranteed Start Fuel” (“GSF”) is 200 mmBtu (HHV) / Start-up; and, BTGP is the “Burner Tip Gas Price” as defined in Section M.
2. SFP shall be zero for each and every start that are (i) uses fuel supplied by Buyer, (ii) was not requested by Buyer or (iii) was unsuccessful.
3. The Monthly Start Fuel Payment or “MSFP” shall be the sum of SFP for all starts in a month.
4. If Buyer supplies the fuel consumed during start-up, Seller shall reimburse Buyer monthly for its actual incremental delivered cost of fuel:
(a) For those starts where ASF exceeds GSF for successful starts (and only to the extent that ASF exceeded GSF); and
(b) for unsuccessful starts, if any.
M. Fuel Cost and Fuel Supply
1. Seller shall arrange for natural gas transportation to the Facilities which transportation may be interruptible. In the event Buyer during such entire period divided by notifies Seller in its annual review of the aggregate quantity of Delivered Energy Approved Fuel Plan described below that is delivered it wishes for Seller to Buyer during such entire period.
