1. PWMT shall supply firm energy in accordance with Service Schedule C of the Agreement utilizing available generation or purchased power resources at the point of delivery.

2. Section C-3.8 (c) of Service Schedule C is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“where applicable, to meet Seller’s or its Affiliate’s public utility or statutory obligations to its customers.”
“Affiliate” means, with respect to Seller, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity. For this purpose, “control” means the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests having ordinary voting power.
3. Deliveries will be made except during interruptions or reductions which are due to uncontrollable forces as defined in Section 10 of the Agreement, in which case the obligations of both Parties will be reduced for the duration of the interruption or reduction.
4. Preschedules shall be exchanged for all deliveries of energy, including identifications of receiving and generating control areas under this Confirmation by 11:00 a.m. Pacific Prevailing Time on the last work day observed by both Parties prior to the scheduled date of delivery. Interchange scheduling shall be conducted in accordance with WSPP Operating Procedure No. 1.
5. Neither Party shall transfer or assign all or any part of the Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder or otherwise dispose of any right, title or interest herein without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, without the need for consent from the other Party, (a) transfer, pledge, or assign the Agreement as security for any financing (b) transfer, assign or delegate the Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such party; or (c) transfer, assign or delegate the Agreement to any person or entity according to all or substantially all of the [Illegible] of such party; provided, however, that any such assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and, provided, further, that any transfer, assignment or delegation that does not require consent hereunder shall not, in any way, relates the assignor from liability for full performance of any obligations (and only those obligations) arising under the Agreement prior to the effective date of the transfer, assignment or delegation. To the extent a transfer does not require consent, the transferring Party shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of the [Illegible] and the effective date thereof. Any transfer in violation of this section shall be deemed null and void. “Affiliate” means, with respect to a Party, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity. For this purpose, “control” means the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests having ordinary voting power.
6. “CAISO Firm Energy” means with respect to a Transaction, a product under which the Seller shall sell and the Purchaser shall purchase a quantity of energy equal to the hourly quantity without Ancillary Services (as defined in the Tariff) that is or will be scheduled as a schedule coordinator to schedule coordinator transaction pursuant to the applicable tariff and protocol provisions of the California Independent System Operator (“CAISO”) (as amended from time to time, the “Tariff”) for which the only excuse for failure to deliver or receive is an “Uncontrollable Force”. A CAISO “Schedule Adjustment” (defined as a schedule change implemented by the CAISO that is neither caused by, or within the control of, either Party) shall not constitute an Uncontrollable Force.
