Any Party rendered unable to fulfill any of its obligations by reason of an Uncontrollable Force shall give prompt notice of such fact and shall exercise due diligence, as provided above, to remove such inability within a reasonable time period. If oral notice is provided, it shall be promptly followed by written notice.

Notwithstanding the “due diligence” obligations or obligations to remove or remedy the causes set forth in the foregoing paragraph (which do not apply to this paragraph except as specified below), where the entity providing transmission services for transactions under any Service Schedule interrupts such transmission service, the interruption in transmission service shall be considered an Uncontrollable Force under this Section 10 only in the following two sets of circumstances:

(1) An interruption in transmission service shall be considered an Uncontrollable Force if (a) the Parties agreed on a transmission path for that transaction at the time the transaction under this Agreement was entered into by the Parties’ thereto, (b) firm transmission involving that transmission path was obtained pursuant to a transmission tariff or contract to effectuate the transaction under the applicable Service Schedule, and (c) the entity providing transmission service curtailed or interrupted such firm transmission pursuant to the applicable transmission tariff or contract;

(d) In the event the Non-Performing Party disputes the calculation of the damages under this Section 21.3, the Non-Performing Party shall pay the full amount of the damages as required by Section 9 of this Agreement to the Performing Party. After informal dispute resolution as required by Section 34.1, any remaining dispute involving the calculation of the damages shall be referred to binding dispute resolution as provided by Section 34.2 of this Agreement. If resolution or agreement results in refunds or the need for refunds to the Non-Performing Party, such refunds shall be calculated in accordance with Section 9.4 of this Agreement.

22.2 REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT

If an Event of Default occurs, the Non-Defaulting Party shall possess the right to terminate all transactions between the Parties under this Agreement upon written notice (by facsimile or other reasonable means) to the Defaulting Party, such notice of termination to be effective immediately upon receipt. If the Non- Defaulting Party fails to exercise this right of termination within thirty (30) days following the time when the Event of Default becomes known (or more than thirty days if the Non-Defaulting and Defaulting Parties agree to an extension), then such right of termination shall no longer be available to the Non-Defaulting Party as a remedy for the Event(s) of Default; provided, however, this thirty day requirement for exercising termination rights shall not apply to defaults pursuant to Sections 22.1(c) and 22.1(e)(iii). The Non-Defaulting Party terminating transaction(s) under this Section 22.2 may do so without making a filing at FERC. Upon termination, the Non-Defaulting Party shall liquidate all transactions as soon as practicable, provided that in no event will the Non-Defaulting Party be allowed to liquidate Service Schedule A transactions. The payment associated with termination (“Termination Payment”) shall be calculated in accordance with

this Section 22.2 and Section 22.3. The Termination Payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Non-Defaulting Party for each terminated transaction (“Terminated Transaction”) for the time period beginning at the time notice of termination under this Section 22 is received.

of such notice of termination by the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting Party may exercise any remedies available to it under Section 21.3 of this Agreement or Confirmation Agreement(s), and any other remedies available to it at law or otherwise.

Upon termination, the Non-Defaulting Party may withhold any payments it owes the Defaulting Party for any obligations incurred prior to termination under this Agreement or Confirmation Agreement(s) until the Defaulting Party pays the Termination Payment to the Non-Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party shall possess the right to set-off the amount due it under this Section 22 by any such payments due the Defaulting Party as provided in Section 22.3(d).

22.3 LIQUIDATION CALCULATION OPTIONS

The Non-Defaulting Party shall calculate the Termination Payment as follows:

(a) The Gains and Losses shall be determined by comparing the value of the remaining term, transaction quantities, and transaction prices under each Terminated Transaction had it not been terminated to the equivalent quantities and relevant market prices for the remaining term either quoted by a bona fide third-party offer or which are reasonably expected to be available in the market under a replacement contract for each Terminated Transaction. To ascertain the market prices of a replacement contract, the Non-Defaulting Party may consider, among other valuations, quotations

It is expressly agreed that the Non-Defaulting Party shall not be required to enter into replacement transactions in order to determine the Termination Payment.

(b) The Gains and Losses calculated under paragraph (a) shall be discounted to present value using the Present Value Rate as of the time of termination (to take account to the period between the time notice of termination was effective and when such amount would have otherwise been due pursuant to the relevant transaction). The “Present Value Rate” shall mean the sum of 0.50% plus the yield reported on page “USD” of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Services Screen (or, if not available, any other nationally recognized trading screen reporting on-line intraday trading in United States government securities) at 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) for the United States government securities having a maturity that matches the average remaining term of the Terminated Transactions; and

(c) The Non-Defaulting Party shall set off or aggregate, as appropriate, the Gains and Losses (as calculated in Section 22.3(a)) and Costs and notify

If the Non-Defaulting Party’s aggregate Losses and Costs exceed its aggregate Gains, the Defaulting Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice, pay the Termination Payment to the Non-Defaulting Party, which amount shall bear interest at the Present Value rate from the time notice of termination was received until paid. If the Non-Defaulting Party’s aggregate Gains exceed its aggregate Losses and Costs, the Non-Defaulting Party, after any set-off as provided in paragraph (d), shall pay the remaining amount to the Defaulting Party within three (3) Business Days of the date notice of termination was received including interest at the Present Value from the time notice of termination was received until the Defaulting Party receives payment.

(d) The Non-Defaulting Party shall aggregate or set off, as appropriate, at its election, any or all other amounts owing between the Parties (discounted at the Present Value Rate) under this Agreement and any Confirmation Agreements against the Termination Payment so that all such amounts are aggregated and/or netted to a single liquidated amount. The net amount due from any such liquidation shall be paid within three (3) Business Days following the date notice of termination is received.

The Non-Defaulting Party may make this election by providing written notice to the Defaulting Party within three Business Days of the notice being provided to terminate and liquidate under this Section 22.3. The Non-Defaulting Party shall provide the Defaulting Party with the details on the method for recovering the monies owed over the remaining life of the contract(s). That method shall ensure that the Defaulting Party receives a payment each month through the end of the term of each contract which allows it to receive the monies which would have been due it under Sections 22.3(c) and (d) in total (to be recovered over the term of the contract(s) to replicate as closely as possible the payment streams under such contract(s)) provided that the discounting using the Present Value Rate referenced in Section 22.3 (b) shall not be reflected in determining the amounts to be recovered under this provision. Any disputes as to the methodology shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 34, with binding arbitration pursuant to Section 34.2 required for disputes as to the methodology if mediation is unsuccessful.

Said notice shall state the date on which the revocation of rights shall become effective if the default is not cured and shall state all actions which must be taken or amounts which must be paid to cure the default. This provision allowing the non-defaulting Parties to revoke such rights is in addition to any other remedies provided in this Agreement or at law and shall in no way limit the non-defaulting Parties’ ability to seek judicial enforcement of the defaulting Party’s obligations to pay its share of the operating costs under this Agreement. Upon the effective date of such revocation of rights, the defaulting party shall not be allowed to enter into any new transactions under this Agreement. The defaulting party under the Agreement or any Confirmation Agreements shall be required to carry out all obligations that existed prior to the effective date of such revocation.

If the Second Party fails to provide such reasonably satisfactory assurances of its ability to perform a transaction hereunder within three (3) Business Days of demand therefore, that will be considered an Event of Default under Section 22 of this Agreement and the First Party shall have the right to exercise any of the remedies provided for under that Section 22. Nothing contained in this Section 27 shall affect any credit agreement or arrangement, if any, between the Parties.

Written confirmation shall be required for all transactions of one week or more. Upon request of the Purchaser or at the election of the Seller, the Seller shall provide written confirmation which must be received by the Purchaser within five Business Days of the date of the agreement or request. The Purchaser shall have five Business Days from date of receipt to respond to the confirmation.

32.2 The Parties agree not to contest, or assert any defense with respect to, the validity or enforceability of any agreement to the terms concerning a specific transaction(s), on the basis that documentation of such terms fails to comply with the requirements of any statute that agreements be written or signed. Each Party consents to the recording by the other Party, without any further notice, of telephone conversations between representatives of the Parties, which contain agreements to or discussion concerning the terms of a specific transaction(s). All such recordings may be introduced and admitted into evidence for the purpose of proving agreements to terms, and any objection to such introduction or admission for such purpose is hereby expressly waived. The terms documented hereunder, whether stated in a written document or a recording, are intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to such terms as are included therein and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement, but may be supplemented by course of dealing, performance, usage of trade and evidence of consistent additional mutually agreed-upon terms.

C-3.2 Unless otherwise agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller, all transactions shall be prescheduled, subject to any conditions agreed to by schedulers.

C-3.3 Firm capacity transactions shall include buying, selling, or exchanging capacity between Parties with or without associated energy. Firm capacity is deemed a capacity sale from the Seller’s resources and backed by the Seller’s capacity reserves.

C-3.4 Firm energy transactions shall include buying, selling, or exchanging firm energy between Parties. Subject to mutual agreement, firm energy is deemed a quantity of energy the Seller has agreed to sell and deliver and the Purchaser has agreed to buy within a specified time period.

C-3.5 Purchaser shall arrange purchases directly with Sellers.

C-3.6 The price for Firm Capacity/Energy Sale or Exchange Service shall be mutually agreed to in advance between Seller and Purchaser and shall not be subject to the rate caps specified in Section C-3.7 in either of the following two circumstances:

(1) where the Seller is a FERC regulated public utility and that Seller has been authorized to sell power like that provided for under this Service Schedule at market-based rates; or

(2) where the Seller is not a FERC regulated public utility.

A Party is a FERC regulated public utility if it is a “public utility” as defined in Section 201(e) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 824(e).

C-3.7 Except as provided for in Section C-3.6, the price shall not exceed the Seller’s forecasted Incremental Cost plus up to: $7.32/kW/month; $1.68/kW/week; 33.78¢/kW/day; 14.07 mills/kWh; or 21.11 mills/kWh for service of sixteen (16) hours or less per day. The hourly rate is capped at the Seller’s forecasted Incremental Cost plus 33.78¢/kW/day. The total demand charge revenues in any consecutive seven-day period shall not exceed the product of the weekly rate and the

highest demand experienced on any day in the seven-day period. Exchange ratios among such Parties shall be as mutually agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller, but shall not exceed the ratio of 1.5 to 1.0. The Seller’s forecasted Incremental Cost discussed above also may include any transmission and/or ancillary service costs associated with the sale, including the cost of any transmission and/or ancillary services that the Seller must take on its own system. Any such transmission and/or ancillary service charges shall be separately identified by the Seller to the Purchaser for transactions under this Schedule including exchanges. The transmission and ancillary service rate ceiling shall be available through the WSPP’s Hub or homepage. Any such transmission service (and ancillary services provided in conjunction with such transmission service) by Seller shall be provided pursuant to any applicable transmission tariff or agreement, and the rates therefore shall be consistent with such tariff or agreement.

C-3.8 Firm Capacity/Energy Sale or Exchange Service shall be interruptible only if the interruption is: (a) within the recall time or allowed by other applicable provisions governing interruptions of service under this Service Schedule mutually agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser, (b) due to an Uncontrollable Force as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement; or (c) where applicable, to meet Seller’s public utility or statutory obligations to its customers. If service under this Service Schedule is interrupted under Section C-3.8(a) or (b), neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to pay any damages under this Agreement or Confirmation Agreement. If service under this Service Schedule is interrupted for any reason
