                as reasonably necessary to minimize supply costs under this Agreement.
                Buyer will pay all of the costs associated with acquiring this Power,

                of any Transmission Provider charges incurred when actual Power Supply
                Requirements differ from the schedule provided. Seller shall be
                responsible for payment of any Transmission Provider charges incurred
                by

    IV.       PRICE

     

    Seller
      shall
      charge, and Buyer shall pay, for Buyer’s Power Supply Requirements the sum of
      the following charges. The method for calculating this amount is set forth
      in
      Exhibit B.

     

    A.   Capacity
      and
      Energy Charges

     

    Buyer
      shall pay
      Seller an amount up to, but not exceeding, the amount of money that Buyer bills
      its retail customers taking Capacity and Energy from Buyer as the generation
      charge, fuel cost adder and Rate Stabilization Charge under the Buyer’s Retail
      Tariffs and Special Contracts as approved by the Public Utilities Commission
      of
      Ohio. As soon as practicable after the end of the month, Buyer shall provide
      Seller load data, metered sales, and rates used for billing retail customers
      in
      sufficient detail for Seller to determine after the fact, the revenues due
      Seller for Buyer’s Power Supply Requirements and delivered to the applicable
      retail customer classes during a billing period. Buyer and Seller will abide
      by
      all applicable Code of Conduct provisions in exchanging this data, and such
      data
      will be considered Confidential Information under Section VII.C of this
      Agreement.

     

    B.   Adjustments
      to
      Capacity and Energy Charges

     

    In

      to its pro rata share of the total cost of Energy purchased by Seller in the
      Spot Market for delivery to the FirstEnergy Balancing Area in the previous

      shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit B.

      Buyer
      will pay Seller the amount billed by Buyer under its wholesale contracts for
      Power supply, including, but not limited to, charges for demand Capacity,
      Energy, or reserves. As soon as practicable after the end of the month, Buyer

      wholesale customers in sufficient detail for Seller to determine after the
      fact,
      the revenues due Seller for Buyer’s existing wholesale contracts.

     

    D.   Billing
      and
      Payment

     

    Unless
      otherwise
      specifically agreed upon by the Parties, the calendar month shall be the
      standard period for all invoices and payments under this Agreement. As soon
      as
      practicable after the end of each month, the Seller will render an invoice
      to
      Buyer for the amounts due for Power Supply Requirements for the preceding month.
      The invoice will be provided in such detail as agreed by the Parties. Payment
      shall be due and payable within ten days of receipt of the invoice or, if such
      day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day. Buyer will make
      payments by electronic funds transfer, or by other mutually agreeable method(s)
      to the account designated by Seller. Any amounts not paid by the due date will
      be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Interest Rate until the
      date of payment in full.

     

    E.   Records

     

    Each
      Party shall
      keep complete and accurate records of its operations under this Agreement and

      and
      accuracy of all relevant data, estimates, payments or invoices submitted by
      or
      to it hereunder. All records regarding this Agreement shall be maintained for
      a
      period of three years from the date of the invoice or payment, or such longer
      period as may be required by law.

     

    F.   Audit
      and
      Adjustment Rights

     

    Buyer
      shall have
      the right, at its own expense and during normal business hours, to audit the
      accounts and records of Seller that reasonably relate to the provision of
      service under this Agreement. If the audit reveals an inaccuracy in an invoice,
      the necessary adjustment in such invoice and the payments therefor will be
      promptly made. No adjustment will be made for any invoice or payment made more
      than one year from rendition thereof. This provision shall survive the
      termination of this Agreement for a period of one year from the date of
      termination for the purpose of such invoice and payment objections. To the
      extent that audited information includes Confidential Information, the Buyer

    VII    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    A.    Performance
      Excused

     

    If
      either Party is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to carry out,
      in
      whole or part, its obligations hereunder, then, during the pendency of such
      Force Majeure, but for no longer period, the Party affected by the event shall
      be relieved of its obligations insofar as they are affected by Force Majeure.
      The Party affected by an event of Force Majeure shall provide the other Party
      with written notice setting forth the full details thereof as soon as
      practicable after the occurrence of such event and shall take all reasonable
      measures to mitigate or minimize the effects of such event of Force Majeure.
      Nothing in this Section requires Seller to deliver, or Buyer to receive, Power
      at Delivery Points other than those Delivery Points designated under this
      Agreement, or relieves Buyer of its obligation to make payment under Section
      IV
      of this Agreement. 

     

    Force
      Majeure shall
      be defined as any cause beyond the reasonable control of, and not the result
      of
      negligence or the lack of diligence of, the Party claiming Force Majeure or
      its
      contractors or suppliers. It includes, without limitation, earthquake, storm,
      lightning, flood, backwater caused by flood, fire, explosion, act of the public
      enemy, epidemic, accident, failure of facilities, equipment or fuel supply,
      acts
      of God, war, riot, civil disturbances, strike, labor disturbances, labor or
      material shortage, national emergency, restraint by court order or other public
      authority or governmental agency, interruption of synchronous operation, or
      other similar or dissimilar causes beyond the control of the Party affected,
      which causes such Party could not have avoided by exercising good electric
      operating practice. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require
      a
      Party to settle any strike, lockout, work stoppage, or other industrial
      disturbance or dispute in which it maybe involved or to take an appeal from
      any
      judicial, regulatory or administrative action.

     

    B.    Transfer
      of
      Title and Indemnification

     

    Title
      and risk of
      loss related to the Power Supply Requirements shall transfer to the Buyer at
      the
      Delivery Points. Seller warrants that it will deliver the Power Supply
      Requirements to Buyer 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. Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
      the
      other Party from and against any claims arising from or out of any event,
      circumstance, act or incident first occurring or existing during the period
      when
      control and title to the Power Supply Requirements is vested in the other
      Party.

     

    C.    Confidentiality

     

    Neither
      Party shall
      disclose to third parties Confidential Information obtained from the other
      Party
      pursuant to this Agreement except in order to comply with the requirements
      of
      FERC, NERC, Electric Reliability Organization, applicable regional reliability
      council, Regional Entity, Regional Transmission Organization, or Government
      Authority. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to prevent or limit the
      disclosure required to third parties under this Section.

    D.    Further
      Assurances

     

    Subject
      to the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto will use
      reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or
      cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable
      laws and regulations to consummate and effectuate the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

     

    E.    Defined
      Terms

     

    Terms
      not
      specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given in the
      applicable Transmission Provider OATT. 

     

    F.    Assignment

     

    No
      assignment, pledge, or transfer of this Agreement shall be made by any Party
      without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be
      unreasonably withheld. No prior written consent shall be required for (i) the
      assignment, pledge or other transfer to another company or Affiliate in the
      same
      holding company system as the assignor, pledgor or transferor, or (ii) the
      transfer, incident to a merger or consolidation with, or transfer of all (or
      substantially all) of the assets of the transferor, to another person or
      business entity; provided, however, that such assignee, pledgee, transferee
      or
      acquirer of such assets or the person with which it merges or into which it
      consolidates assumes in writing all of the obligations of such Party hereunder
      and provided, further, that either Party may, without the consent of the other
      Party (and without relieving itself from liability hereunder), transfer, sell,
      pledge, encumber or assign such Party’s rights to the accounts, revenues or
      proceeds hereof in connection with any financing or other financial
      arrangements.

      interpretation

    H.    Counterparts

      Agreement may
      be executed in two or more counterparts and each such counterpart shall
      constitute one and the same instrument.

     

    I.    Waiver

     

    No
      waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party shall be construed as a
      waiver of any other default. Any waiver shall be effective only for the
      particular event for which it is issued and shall not be deemed a waiver with
      respect to any subsequent performance, default or matter.
