The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding the calculation of the Termination Payment. Any disputes which the Parties are unable to resolve through negotiation may be submitted for resolution through mediation as provided in Article Eleven.
6.04	Duty to Mitigate. Each Party agrees that it has a duty to mitigate damages and covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any damages it may incur as a result of the other Party's performance or non-performance of the Agreement.

Generating Facility and Site Description

1. Generating Facility Description.

The Generating Facility will be a geothermal small power production facility supplied by a geothermal fluids gathering system.

     The Generating Facility will consist of between 45 and 50 UTC Power PureCycle B280 Power Systems each producing 280 xxxxx xX. The PureCycle equipment converts heat provided by geothermal fluids into electricity utilizing the Organic Rankine Cycle. Each PureCycle unit consists of an evaporator, condenser, turbine, induction generator, cycle-pump, system controls, control valves, and piping.

The Generating Facility is supplied with geothermal fluids from a well field which is being developed by Seller. The geothermal fluids are produced and transported from the geothermal production xxxxx to the power plant. The fluids flow under pressure directly into the PureCycle evaporators. The geothermal fluid heats and vaporizes the R-245fa working fluid, which is a hydro fluoro carbon refrigerant (HFC). The working fluid expands through the turbine which is coupled to the generator. The expanding working fluids are condensed in a water-cooled condenser and pumped back to the heat exchangers in a closed loop. The Generating Facility will utilize a hybrid cooling tower system to provide the cooling water for the condenser. The spent geothermal fluids are returned via pipelines from the power plant facilities to the injection xxxxx. Electric power required to operate power plant auxiliary equipment and to produce, transport and re-inject the geothermal fluids is provided by the gross output of the Generating Facility.

2. Site Description.

Geothermal power facility to be located in the Animas Valley, Xxxxxxx County, New Mexico, approximately 10 miles south of Interstate 00 xx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx 000.
