3.2 Supplier Initiated Audit of LRP Resource. Supplier may request (in writing) a Supplier initiated demonstration of the LRP Resource (the “Audit”). The ISO will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule the Audit within ten (10) business days following receipt of Supplier’s written request, or as soon as reasonably feasible thereafter, in light of the circumstances and the availability of ISO personnel and resources; provided, however, that in the event of a subsequent load response event direction from ISO prior to the completion of the Audit, the LRP Resource will demonstrate its capability by responding to such load response event direction in lieu of the Audit. The Supplier may only make one (1) Audit Request in any twelve-month period during the Term. Such Audit will be conducted in accordance with Section 3.1 and will occur during the on peak hours of 7:00 am to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on non-holidays for a duration of two (2) hours. To cover ISO’s administrative costs in conducting the Audit, the Supplier shall be charged a fee for the Audit in an amount equal to $1,000 multiplied by the applicable monthly Committed Capacity Amount.

ARTICLE 4

PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT

4.1 ISO Billing Process. From and after the first day of the month following the Service Date, the ISO, as agent for the Market Participants, shall apportion, ▇▇▇▇ and collect from the Market Participants payments and charges for delivery or non-delivery of services from the LRP Resource in the LRP Market in accordance with this Agreement, Market Rule 1 and the NEPOOL Manuals. All payments will be made through the ISO billing process directly to the Enrolling Participant. ISO shall have the right to set-off any amounts owed by Supplier under this Agreement against any payments otherwise payable to Supplier under this Agreement.

4.2 Supplemental Capacity Payment. The monthly Supplemental Capacity Payment for the LRP Resource will commence on the first day of the month following the Service Date and will be equal to the Contract ICAP Price (for the preceding month) multiplied by the ICAP Credit Amount (for the preceding month). The Supplemental Capacity Payment for each month will be reduced (but not to less than zero) by an amount equal to the ICAP Credit Amount multiplied by monthly UCAP Supply Auction clearing price, provided, that the Supplemental Capacity Payment shall not be reduced if the LRP Resource was not eligible to participate in the Supply Auction; provided, however, that if a locational ICAP or other new capacity market is implemented, the price component of the calculation shall be equal to the most recent clearing price at which load shifting is settled for the locational ICAP or other new capacity market for the area applicable to the LRP Resource’s location determined in a manner consistent with such locational ICAP or other new capacity market. The Supplemental Capacity Payment will not be reduced for any other non-ICAP payments that the LRP Resource may earn. As provided in the Measurement and Verification Plan, if any ICAP Credit Amount actually demonstrated is less than the ICAP Credit Amount paid, the Supplemental Capacity Amount paid in all months prior to such demonstration will be trued-up and rebilled according to the

demonstrated ICAP Credit Amount. The ICAP Credit Amount may change from month to month based on load response events or audits as described in the M-LRP. The ISO in its sole discretion may initiate whatever audits, tests or other measures are necessary to determine the actual performance of the LRP Resource and its ability to continue to perform and has the authority to adjust the ICAP Credit Amount to recognize the results of its investigation, as provided in the Measurement and Verification Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Supplemental Capacity Payment for any month shall not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the product of the Contract ICAP Price and the Committed Capacity Amount.

ARTICLE 5

8.2 Termination.

8.2.1 Termination for Default. If (a) any Party shall fail to perform any obligation imposed on it by this Agreement and that obligation has not been waived or suspended, or payment has not been adjusted for such failure pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any representation or warranty made by either Party under this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect, the other Party, at its option, may terminate this Agreement by giving the Party in default written notice setting out specifically the circumstances constituting the default and declaring its intention to terminate this Agreement.

REMEDIES

9.1 Damages and Other Relief.

9.1.1 Liability of ISO. Subject to receipt of payments from the Market Participants of amounts due under this Agreement, other than for failure to make a payments as provided in Article 4, the ISO shall not be liable to Supplier for actions or omissions by the ISO in performing its obligations under this Agreement, provided it has not willfully breached this Agreement or engaged in willful misconduct. To the extent Supplier has claims against the ISO, Supplier may only look to the assets of the ISO for the enforcement of such claims and may not seek to enforce any claims against the directors, members, officers, or employees of the ISO who, Supplier acknowledge and agree, have no personal liability for obligations of the ISO by reason of their status as directors, members, officers, or employees of the ISO.

9.1.2 Liability of Supplier. Except as provided in Sections 2.5 and 8.2, Supplier shall not be liable to the ISO for actions or omissions by Supplier in performing its obligations under this Agreement, provided that Supplier has not willfully breached this Agreement or engaged in willful misconduct.

9.1.3 Limitation of Liability. Except as provided in Section 2.5 and 8.2, in no event shall Supplier be liable to the ISO or the ISO be liable to Supplier for any incidental, consequential, multiple or punitive damages, loss of revenues or profits, attorneys fees or costs arising out of, or connected in any way with the performance or non-performance of this Agreement.

9.1.5 Liquidated Damages. The Parties agree that it will be impractical and extremely difficult to determine the actual damages, which ISO will sustain in the event supplier fails to make the LRP Resource available pursuant to Section 2.5. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the ISO shall be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to liquidated damages set forth in Section 2.5 as a reasonable pre-estimate of the probable losses and damages to be sustained by the ISO in such circumstances. Such liquidated damages, although inadequate to compensate the ISO, are intended to constitute compensatory damages.
