	(g)
	Utility shall have the right at any time to lock-in a fixed commodity charge for any term and quantity up to the MDQ throughout the contract term. The commodity charges for locked-in quantities shall be as agreed to by the Parties based on prevailing market conditions at the time the lock-in is made. Utility’s right to lock in a quantity of Natural Gas shall be limited as follows:

		
	(i)
	The maximum quantity of Natural Gas for which the Utility may lock in a fixed commodity charge shall equal the MDQ * number of days remaining in the Winter Season, less any quantities previously locked in for the Winter Season.

		
	(ii)
	Unless otherwise agreed, Utility shall notify UGI ES of its intention to lock-in the commodity charge by no later than 10:00 a.m. on the last trading day for the NYMEX natural gas contract to the month in which such lock-in will apply. Such notice shall identify the quantity of Natural Gas to be locked in for each month of delivery. UGI ES will promptly communicate to Utility any limitations on the lock-in quantity identified in Utility’s notice, and the Parties will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the lock in to the extent practicable.

		
	(iii)
	If Utility has locked in a fixed price, Utility shall be required to purchase and take delivery of the quantity of Natural Gas for which a locked-in price is established.

The commodity charges determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) above, shall be billed and paid on a monthly basis, in accordance with Section 6.

5.3    Rollover Period Price Adjustment. In the event that Utility elects to extend the agreement for one or more Rollover Terms, the reservation charge applicable to such Rollover Term shall be escalated based on the U.S. Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator using 2021 as the base. For any subsequent term the escalation fee will be based on the U.S. Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator using the index from the year prior to the last year of the subsequent term. Unless otherwise locked in accordance with Section 5.2, the commodity charge applicable to the Rollover Term will be equal to the prevailing market price for supply delivered to the Utility’s distribution system at the time of delivery. If Utility and UGI ES cannot agree on the market price for supply delivered to the Utility’s distribution system, then the commodity charge shall be determined based on the average of up to three quotes received from reference market makers selected mutually by the parties.

SECTION 6. Billing and Payment

UGI ES will invoice Utility each month of the five month winter period for reservation charges and each month for all commodity charges applicable to service rendered during the prior month, plus any applicable taxes in accordance with Section 10 hereto.

8

negligence, gross negligence, bad faith actions, or willful misconduct on its part in connection with this Agreement; and (iii) any Natural Gas while it is in the Party’s control or possession; provided however, that a Party’s responsibility for such claims and damages under this section shall be limited to the extent that such claims or damages result from the negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith actions or omissions on the part of the other Party but only to the extent of such actions or omissions. This Section 9 shall survive termination of the Agreement.
