4.13.1 In the event that Rise fails to deliver the full volume of a nomination or delivers more than the full volume of a nomination, Rise shall pay to Xxxxxxxx 66 liquidated damages in the following amounts unless the failure is due to Xxxxxxxx 66 not supplying Rise’s nominated Feedstock volume
4.13.l.l [***] per Gallon for any volume delivered less than 90% or greater than 110% of the nominated volume during any weekly period; and
4.13.1.2 [***] per Gallon for any volume delivered less than 75% or greater than 125% of the nominated volume during any weekly period.
