Planned Outage replacement shall be addressed by the Tariff. For all other replacements, if Seller is unable to provide the Contract Quantity from any Unit(s) for any day in any Monthly Delivery Period and Replacement Capacity is required under Section 3.2, then:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, Seller’s failure to properly provide Replacement Capacity, including Seller’s obligation to identify Replacement Units within the notice deadlines specified in this Section 5.1, may result in the calculation of damages payable to Buyer and/or the indemnification of Buyer against any penalties, fines or costs under Section 5 and Section 10.

(b) Seller shall pay to Buyer damages, in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1 of the Master Agreement relating to “Accelerated Payment of Damages,” if applicable, an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the sum of (A) the Capacity Replacement Price paid by Buyer for any Replacement Capacity purchased by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2(a) for such day, plus (B) the Capacity Replacement Price times the portion of Contract Capacity not provided by Seller nor purchased by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2(a) for such day times 1,000 kW/MW, and (ii) the portion of Contract Capacity not provided for the applicable day in the applicable Monthly Delivery Period times the Contract Price for that day times 1,000 kW/MW.
5.3 Indemnities for Failure to Deliver Contract Capacity If Buyer is unable to purchase Replacement Capacity after Seller fails to provide Buyer a portion of the Contract Capacity from Replacement Units for any day in any Monthly Delivery Period as required by Section 5.1, then in addition to the damages pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i)(B) with respect to the portion of Contract Capacity that Buyer has not replaced, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any penalties, fines or costs assessed against Buyer by the CPUC, CAISO, or any Governmental Body having jurisdiction, resulting from any of the following:
(a) Seller’s failure to provide any portion of the Contract Capacity or any portion of the Replacement Capacity;
(b) Seller’s failure to provide timely notice of the non-availability of any portion of the Contract Capacity;
(c) A Unit’s SC’s failure to timely submit Supply Plans that identify Buyer’s right to the Unit Contract Quantity purchased hereunder, or;
(d) any other failure by Seller to perform its material obligations under this Confirmation.
With respect to the foregoing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such penalties, fines and costs; provided, that in no event shall Buyer be required to use or change its utilization of its owned or controlled assets or market positions to minimize these penalties, fines and costs.
