Seller hereby assigns to each Buyer, and each Buyer hereby accepts that Buyer’s Share of all rights and obligations for any portion of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity for any part of the Delivery Period that has cleared in a PJM capacity auction or that is committed to PJM or another third party as of the Effective Date; and Seller hereby acknowledges that each Buyer may after the Effective Date offer on an independent basis into the PJM capacity auction during any part of the Delivery Period that Buyer’s Share of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity where such capacity has not yet cleared in the PJM capacity auction. Buyers hereby assign to Seller, and Seller hereby accepts without recourse, all rights and obligations for any portion of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity that has cleared in a PJM capacity auction or that is otherwise committed to PJM or another third party for time periods at or after termination of this Agreement.

All Energy and Ancillary Services associated with Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and made available at a given Delivery Point will be allocated to Buyers in accordance with their respective Shares and will be recorded by the Parties or their agents in PJM’s scheduling and settlement systems. All credits and charges (including Imbalance Charges) associated with the Capacity and

Energy and Ancillary Services associated therewith and made available at a given Delivery Point will be allocated to Buyers in accordance with their respective Shares and will be settled in the respective PJM accounts of Buyers by means of the PJM settlement processes.

3.5 Force Majeure. To the extent any Party is prevented by Force Majeure from carrying out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement (other than an obligation to pay money), and such Party (the “Affected Party”) will give notice and details of the Force Majeure to the other Parties as soon as practicable (but not later than thirty (30) days thereafter to the extent such details are then available), then the Affected Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (other than the obligation to make payments and, in the case of Seller, the obligation to sell and deliver Buyers’ Contractual Capacity) so long as the Affected Party shall be using all reasonable efforts to overcome the Force Majeure and resume performance as soon as possible. The non-Affected Party shall not be required to perform or resume performance of its obligations (excluding payment obligations) to the Affected Party corresponding to the obligations of the Affected Party excused by Force Majeure, until such time and to the extent the Affected Party resumes its performance.

ARTICLE IV

FACILITY OPERATIONS

4.1 Operation and Maintenance. At all times during the Delivery Period, Seller

shall have an obligation to perform the Operating Work, or cause the Operating Work to be performed, in accordance with Good Utility Practice.

4.2 Capital Expenditures. From time to time during the Delivery Period, as deemed necessary by Seller, Seller shall perform, or cause to be performed, Capital Expenditures Work related to each of the ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant and the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Power Station. By no later than one hundred and thirty (130) days prior to the start of each PJM Delivery Year, Seller will develop and submit to Buyers for Buyers’ review and comment an annual, written capital expenditures plan for all Capital Expenditures Work deemed necessary by Seller that is scheduled to be performed at the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant and the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Power Station during the referenced PJM Delivery Year. Within twenty (20) days of Buyers’ receipt of the referenced plan, Buyers will provide in writing to Seller any comments or queries to such plan, and Seller shall respond in writing (including where appropriate with documents as attachments or exhibits) to Buyers’ queries (if any) within twenty (20) days of receipt of Buyers’ comments or queries. By eighty (80) days prior to the referenced Delivery Period, Seller and Buyers will meet and discuss Buyers’ comments and queries, and Seller’s responses thereto. By seventy (70) days prior to the referenced Delivery Period, Seller will issue to Buyers a revised annual written capital expenditures plan that, to the extent reasonable, takes into account or responds to Buyers’ comments and queries, including for each instance where the Seller did not accept or adopt one or more of Buyers’ comments, an explanation for such non-acceptance or non-adoption.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.2 or this Section 4.2 to the contrary, in the event that a capital expenditure is required for Facility operations but such capital expenditure would render the affected Facility to be uneconomic (as determined by Seller), then, upon Buyers’ and Seller’s written agreement, Seller will either replace the Facility’s output of Capacity, Energy, Ancillary

Services and Environmental Attributes (all to be delivered to the ATSI transmission zone at Seller’s cost), or this Agreement will be amended to (a) remove such Facility from the Agreement, and (b) Seller’s obligations under this Agreement will be reduced to reflect that the Facility was removed from this Agreement.

4.3 Planned Outage Schedule. Seller will develop and implement, or cause to be developed and implemented, an annual scheduled outage program for each Facility. Seller will review with Buyers the annual scheduled outage program for each such Facility by no later than one hundred and thirty (130) days prior to the start of each PJM Delivery Year. Seller agrees to notify Buyers of changes to the scheduled outage program as soon as is reasonably practicable.

4.4 Auxiliary Power. During any hour that any Facility is out of service, Seller will procure the energy used by such Facility auxiliaries during that hour.

ARTICLE V

PRICING

5.1 Monthly Payment. For each calendar month during the Delivery Period,

each Buyer shall pay Seller an amount (the “Monthly Payment”) as specified in Section 5.2. The Monthly Payment will be Seller’s sole compensation for Seller’s sale and delivery to Buyers of Capacity, Energy, Ancillary Services and Environmental Attributes associated with the Facilities.

5.2 Component of Monthly Payment. The Monthly Payment will comprise the sum of monthly charges for: (a) the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant and ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Power Station and (b) the OVEC entitlement interest.

(a)For each of the ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plant and ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Power Station, the Monthly Payment will be equal to the sum of (i) a Fuel Payment, (ii) an O&M Payment, (iii) a Depreciation Payment, (iv) a Capacity Payment, and (v) a Tax Reimbursement Payment.

(i)Fuel Payment: amount of Fuel Expenses for the given calendar month during each PJM Delivery Year.

(ii)O&M Payment: amount of Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the given calendar month during each PJM Delivery Year.

(iii)Depreciation Payment: for each calendar month during each PJM Delivery Year, amount of depreciation, accretion and decommissioning expenses actually incurred by Seller during the relevant month and directly related to each Facility. Except as may be required by law, adverse Governmental Authority action, or due to an impairment of the asset due to Governmental Authority action(s) or Change-in-Law, Seller agrees not to charge accelerated depreciation (i.e., advance the useful life of an asset) without Buyers’ written agreement.

(iv)Capacity Payment: an amount for the given calendar month during each PJM Delivery Year equal to:



	SIC * WACOC
	12

(v)Tax Reimbursement Payment: amount for the given calendar month of income taxes applicable to Buyers’ Capacity Payment based on the effective tax rate of the Seller equal to:



	SIC * (0.50.1038) (1/(1-Seller's effective tax rate) -1)
	12

The effective tax rate will be updated annually.

(b)For the OVEC entitlement interest, the Monthly Payment will be equal to those monthly costs or charges related to and deriving from Seller’s 4.85% entitlement in OVEC, as provided for in the Amended and Restated ICPA.

ARTICLE VI

BILLING AND PAYMENT

6.1 Billing and Payment; Netting. The calendar month shall be the standard

period for all payments under this Agreement. As soon as practicable after the end of each month, but no later than fifteen (15) days before payment is due, Seller will render to Buyers an invoice for the payment obligations incurred by Buyers during the preceding month. Each invoice will itemize for each Facility the components of the monthly charge to reflect the charges and components of the Monthly Payment that is described in Section 5.2 of this Agreement; a sample invoice is attached hereto as Exhibit A for reference. All invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable on or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month. Each Buyer will make payments by electronic funds transfer to the account designated by Seller, or by other mutually agreeable method(s).

The Parties shall discharge mutual debts and payment obligations due and owing to each other under this Agreement through netting, in which case all amounts owed by Buyers and Seller to the other under this Agreement, including any related damages, interest, and payments or credits, shall be netted so that only the excess amount remaining due shall be due and payable as part of the Monthly Payment by the Buyer who owes it.

6.2 Invoice Adjustment With respect to any invoice for any Monthly Payment, a Party may in good faith identify the need for an adjustment to the invoice for any arithmetic or computational error for matters covered by the invoice. The need for any such adjustment must be identified in writing to the other Party within ninety (90) days after the month for which a Monthly Payment is due and owing, provided that such 90-day deadline will be tolled if and to the extent that Seller renders the invoice after the deadline described in Section 6.1 hereof. Absent good cause shown, failure to identify the need for any invoice adjustment for matters covered by such invoice within the 90-day deadline as described herein, including any tolling of the 90-day deadline as provided herein, constitutes acceptance of the accuracy of the invoice and no further adjustment to the invoice will be made. If the Parties agree that an invoice should be adjusted,

adjustments to payments made and received will be by netting as described in Section 6.1 hereof. Disputes about any identified adjustments to an invoice will be addressed as described in this Article VI.

6.3 Books and Records; Audit. Seller shall keep, or shall cause to be kept, all necessary books of record, books of account, and memoranda of all transactions involving each Facility, in conformance with GAAP (where required) and the FERC’s Uniform System of Accounts. Seller shall make, or shall cause to be made, all computations relating to each Facility and all allocations of the costs and expenses of each Facility. Each Buyer has the right to examine Seller’s records to the extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made pursuant to this Agreement. If requested, Seller shall provide to any Buyer statements evidencing the quantities delivered to Buyers at the Delivery Points. If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any statement, the necessary adjustments in such statement and the payments thereof will be made promptly; provided, however, that any claim by a Party for overpayment or underpayment with respect to an invoice, or adjustment associated with failure to exercise Good Utility Practice, is waived unless the owing Party is notified of the claim within ninety (90) days after the invoice is rendered or any specific adjustment to the invoice is made. Seller shall reasonably and timely provide all data and information requested by any Buyer (i) to respond to a Governmental Authority’s request for information, (ii) to prepare for and make other regulatory filings or (iii) as required by law with respect to any Buyer.

ARTICLE VII LIMITATIONS

7.1 Limitation of Remedies, Liability and Damages. FOR BREACH OF ANY

PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGOR’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES ONLY, SUCH DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE WAIVED. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION OR OTHERWISE.

ARTICLE VIII TAXES

8.1 Cooperation. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to implement the

provisions of and to administer this Agreement in accordance with the intent of the Parties to minimize all Taxes, so long as no Party is materially adversely affected by such efforts.

8.2 Taxes. Subject to the Tax Reimbursement Payment as set forth in Article V, Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes imposed on or with respect to Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services arising prior to the Delivery Point for each Facility. Each Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes on or with respect to that Buyer’s Share of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services at and from

each Facility’s Delivery Point. In the event Seller is required by law or regulation to remit or pay Taxes which are any Buyer’s responsibility hereunder, that Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such Taxes as set forth in Article V. If any Buyer is required by law or regulation to remit or pay Taxes which are Seller’s responsibility hereunder, that Buyer may deduct the amount of any such Taxes from the sums due to Seller under Article V of this Agreement. Nothing shall obligate or cause a Party to pay or be liable to pay any Taxes for which it is exempt under the law.

8.3 Change-in-Law Taxes. Each Buyer shall be responsible for (or receive the benefit of) all Change-in-Law Taxes on or with respect to that Buyer’s Share of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services.

8.4 Exemptions. Any Party, upon written request of any other Party, shall provide a certificate of exemption or other reasonably satisfactory evidence of exemption if any Party is exempt from any Taxes and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain, or to enable the other Parties to obtain or maintain, any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes, whether currently available or becoming available in the future. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, if beneficial to the efforts of any Party to obtain or maintain any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes, whether currently available or becoming available in the future, the Parties will cooperate to restructure the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable any Party to obtain or maintain such exemption or reduction, as the case may be; provided, however, that any such restructuring shall not affect adversely the economic consequences of this Agreement to any Party or subject any Party to any regulatory jurisdiction other than that to which it is subject on the Effective Date.

ARTICLE IX

SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF BUYERS

9.1 Several Obligations of Buyers. The obligations of Buyers are several and not joint, and in no event shall a Buyer have any liability or obligation with respect to the acts or omissions of any other Buyer under this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

CONDITIONS

10.1 Seller’s Conditions. Seller’s obligation to consummate the transactions

contemplated hereunder is subject to Seller having obtained any and all Approvals required with respect to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and such Approvals shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Seller in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that, in the event that Seller learns that a required Governmental Approval is lacking and after reasonable effort is not and will not be forthcoming (such reasonable effort to be determined by Seller), Seller may at any time upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Buyers terminate this Agreement. By way of emphasis and not limitation, a Governmental Approval is lacking if at any time during the Term hereof a Governmental Authority issues a determination that (i) revokes, denies, imposes, or materially and adversely modifies a Governmental Approval; (ii) results in a material change to this Agreement; (iii) materially impairs the Seller’s benefits under this Agreement or the Seller’s

ability to perform hereunder; or (iv) creates material uncertainty that any of the foregoing could occur. Upon such a determination, then Seller may suspend its performance hereunder (in which event Buyer’s performance shall also be suspended) pending the resolution of such determination or uncertainty or the ultimate exercise of Seller’s termination rights under this Section 10.1.

10.2 Buyers’ Conditions. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) approved with modifications Buyers’ Fourth Electric Security Plan (“ESP IV”) retail rate plan in Case No. 14-1297-EL-SSO on March 31, 2016 (the “March 31 Order”). If the PUCO subsequently revokes the March 31 Order or issues any order which materially and adversely impacts the Buyers’ ability to fulfill their payment obligations hereunder, then, for a period of thirty (30) days following the date such order becomes final and non-appealable, Buyers shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Seller.

10.3 Sale or Transfer of the Facilities. Upon Seller’s sale or transfer of one or more of the Facilities (except to an affiliate), including, without limitation, by operation of law, sale of assets or change of control, and there is a PUCO determination regarding such sale or transfer that adversely and materially affects the ESP IV, then upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Seller, Buyers may terminate this Agreement. As used in this Section 10.3, “change of control” shall mean a change in the capital stock ownership greater than 50% of Seller or the applicable subsidiary owning the Facility, currently FirstEnergy Generation, LLC and FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC.

10.4 Obligations of Buyers and Seller. Commencing on the Effective Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its good faith efforts to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other Parties in taking or doing, things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and complete the transactions and implementing actions contemplated in this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, all rights and obligations shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except such rights and obligations as shall have accrued prior to termination). The Parties shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such termination including all actions as may be necessary to effect such termination in PJM’s systems and provide for final billing and settlement.

ARTICLE XI

(vii)	it has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of its business and it has the capacity or ability to make or take delivery of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services and Environmental Attributes as required herein.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Title and Risk of Loss. Title to and risk of loss related to Buyer’s Share of

Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services shall transfer from Seller to Buyers at the Delivery Points. Seller warrants that it will deliver to each Buyer that Buyer’s Share of Buyers’ Contractual Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims and encumbrances or any interest therein or thereto by any Person arising prior to the Delivery Points.

12.2 Indemnity.

(a)Each Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer and each Buyer’s partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” and collectively with the Seller Indemnified Parties the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), liability or Claim arising from (i) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement; and (ii) any event, circumstance, act or incident first occurring or existing during the period when control of, risk of loss related to, and title to the Capacity and associated Energy and Ancillary Services is vested in such Party as provided in Section 12.1, except to the extent in the case of this Section 12.2(a)(ii), as to any Indemnified Party, such Claims are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Parties against any Taxes for which such Party is responsible under Article VIII. The foregoing indemnities shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

(b)If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or Claim made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a partner, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the foregoing (an “Indemnity Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification under Section 12.2(a), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Indemnity Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Indemnity Claim it shall have the right to take such reasonable action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Indemnity Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Indemnity Claim with counsel selected by it. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Indemnity Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

12.3 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by all Parties.

12.4 Notices. All notices, requests, statements or payments shall be made as specified in this Schedule 12.4. Notices, other than notices regarding availability, Scheduling and Dispatch of each Facility shall, unless otherwise specified herein, be in writing and shall be deemed to be given or made if delivered by (a) hand delivery, electronic mail or other electronic transmission device capable of written record or facsimile, in each case, effective at the close of business on the day actually received, if received during business hours on a Business Day, otherwise shall be effective at the close of business on the next Business Day, or (b) United States mail or overnight courier service, in each case, effective on the next Business Day after it was sent. Notices regarding the availability, Scheduling and Dispatch of each Facility may be made (x) telephonically, effective when made, or (y) by electronic mail or other electronic device capable of written record, effective when received. A Party may change its notice details by providing a notice of same to the other Parties in accordance herewith.

12.5 Dispute Resolution. The following shall apply in respect of any dispute that arises under or in connection with this Agreement:

(a) Senior Officers Meeting Procedures. A Party may initiate a dispute resolution process by submitting written notice of such dispute to the other Party. Each of the Parties shall, within five (5) Business Days of such receipt of such written notice of dispute, designate in writing to the other Party a senior officer who shall be authorized to address and resolve any dispute under this Agreement. The respective senior officers will meet in person or via telecommunications conference within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such written

notice of dispute to attempt to negotiate in good faith resolution of the dispute. Such negotiations will conclude within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of such written notice of dispute.

(b) Arbitration. In the event that any dispute is not resolved at the conclusion of the senior officers meeting procedures described herein, either Party may submit the dispute for resolution through binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Each group of Parties (i.e., Buyers and Seller) shall select an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of commencement of the arbitration who shall serve as a neutral arbitrator, and the two designated arbitrators shall select a third neutral arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their selection. If the two arbitrators cannot agree on election of a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the American Arbitration Association shall select such arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then existing Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that the arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive/consequential/special/indirect damages. The arbitration shall be conducted in Akron, Ohio. The laws of the State of Ohio shall be applied in any arbitration proceedings, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The cost of the arbitration proceeding and any proceeding in court to confirm or to vacate any arbitration award, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), shall be borne by the unsuccessful Party, as determined by the arbitrators, and shall be awarded as part of the arbitrator’s award. It is specifically understood and agreed that any Party may enforce any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Section by bringing suit in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration clause shall be specifically enforceable; a Party may apply to any court with jurisdiction to compel arbitration. This Section 12.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12.6 Successors and Assigns; Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and the Parties’ successors and assigns permitted hereby and no other Person (other than the Indemnified Parties) shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement. No Buyer shall assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller, and Seller shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Buyer, which consent, in each case, may be withheld in the applicable Party’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that any Party may, without the consent of any other Party (and without relieving itself from liability hereunder) (i) transfer, sell, pledge, encumber or assign this Agreement or the accounts, revenues or proceeds hereof in connection with any financing or other financial arrangements or transfer or assign this Agreement to an affiliate which shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that such affiliate must have and hold the financial and operational capabilities and resources necessary to accomplish all of the transferring Party’s obligations hereunder.

12.7 Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous and understandings, oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.8 Acknowledgments. This Agreement shall be considered for all purposes as prepared through the joint efforts of the Parties and shall not be construed against one Party or any other as a result of the preparation, substitution, submission or other event of negotiation, drafting or execution hereof.

12.9 Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising by a Party any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, remedy power or privilege.

12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in any number of counterparts, which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same legal binding instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

12.11 Headings. The headings used herein are for convenience and reference purposes only.

12.12 Confidentiality. No Party shall disclose the terms or conditions of this Agreement to a third party (other than the Parties’ employees, lenders, counsel, accountants or advisors who have a need to know such information and have agreed to keep such terms confidential) except in order to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or any exchange, control area or independent system operator rule or in connection with any court or regulatory proceeding; provided, however, that each Party shall, to the extent practicable, use reasonable efforts to prevent or limit the disclosure. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Parties shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce, or seek relief in connection with this confidentiality obligation; provided, however, that Section 7.1 shall not restrict a Party from any right it may have to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for relief by way of injunction, restraining order, decree or other equitable remedies to ensure compliance by the breaching Party and its affiliates with the provisions of this Section 12.12.

12.13 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED, ENFORCED AND PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

12.14 Severability. If and to the extent that a Governmental Authority rules that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be severed from this Agreement and be of no force or effect and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable any other term or provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that upon a determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any the terms and provisions of Articles III, IV, V and X of this Agreement, the Parties may negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement (which modification will be by a duly executed written amendment) to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated herein be consummated as originally contemplated if such consummation can be achieved lawfully; provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to reach an amended Agreement, then the remainder of this Agreement will be unenforceable except to the extent necessary for the Parties to take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to wind up their transactions under this Agreement.

12.15 Standard of Review. Absent the agreement of all Parties to the proposed change, the standard of review for changes to any rate, charge, classification, term or condition of this Agreement, whether proposed by a Party, a non-party or FERC acting sua sponte, shall be the “public interest” standard of review set forth in United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp., ▇▇▇ ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ (1956) and Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pacific Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956) and clarified by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Group, Inc. v. Public Util. Dist. No. 1 of Snohomish 554 U.S. (2008) (the “Mobile-Sierra” doctrine).
