BILLING PERIOD: BILLS are rendered on the basis of the scheduled meter reading dates or a date agreeable with the System for final readings. Under normal conditions, BILLING PERIODS typically range from 27 to 35 days.

DEFINITIONS: The following definitions are applicable to this schedule and some refer to the metering diagram below.

All meters are detented so only power flowing in the indicated direction is measured. Meter M3 readings are multiplied by 1.003 to bring them to the same voltage as M2.

Backup Power-Demand (BKW): The integrated kilowatt load during each 30-minute period as measured by meters M2 and M3 using the following relationship:

BKW_t = Lower of:

1. M2_t or

2. CD - M3_t, but not less than zero

Backup Power-Energy (BKWH): The sum of the 30-minute Backup Power-Demand (BKW) over the total BILLING PERIOD in kilowatt-hours as measured by meters M2 and M3 using the following relationship:

x

BKWH = 1/2 (Sum (BKW)_x)

1

where x is the number of ½-hour intervals in the BILLING PERIOD.

Contract Demand (CD): The contract capacity specified in Exhibit A of the applicable Qualifying Facility Cogeneration and Interconnection Agreement. This quantity is approximately equal to the maximum net generating capability of the Customer's qualifying facility in kilowatts as recorded by M3. This amount shall apply for a minimum of 12 consecutive months.

On Peak Period: The period occurring between the hours of 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. in the BILLING PERIOD.

Qualifying Facility-Demand (QFKW): The integrated kilowatt output of the Customer’s generator during 30-minute periods as measured by meters M3 and M1 using the following relationship:

QFKW_t = Lower of:

1. M3_t or

2. M3_t - M1_t

if M1 is not elected for by Customer QFKW will be assumed to be M3. Depending on how the Customer’s generation support equipment is connected QFKW may be either gross or net generator output.

Qualifying Facility-Energy (QFKWH): The sum of the 30-minute Qualifying Facility-Demand (QFKW) over the total BILLING PERIOD in kilowatt-hours as measured by meter M3 using the following relationship:

x

QFKWH = 1/2 (Sum (QFKW)_x)

1

where x is the number of ½-hour intervals in the BILLING PERIOD.

Supplemental Power-Demand (SKW): The integrated kilowatt load during 30-minute periods as measured by meters M2 and M3 using the following relationship:

SKW_t = M2_t + M3_t - CD, but not less than zero

Supplemental Power-Energy (SKWH): The sum of the 30-minute Supplemental Power-Delivered (SDEL) over the total BILLING PERIOD in kilowatt-hours as measured by meters M2 and M3 using the following relationship:
