Execution Version
2 (e) If CAISO rejects either the Supply Plan or the Resource Adequacy Plan with respect to any part of the Contract Quantity for the Shown Unit in any Showing Month, the Parties will confer, make such corrections as are necessary for acceptance, and resubmit the corrected Supply Plan or Resource Adequacy Plan for validation before the applicable deadline for the Showing Month. (f) The Product is delivered and received when the CIRA Tool shows the Supply Plan accepted for the Product from the Shown Unit by CAISO or Seller complies with Purchaser’s instruction to withhold all or part of the Contract Quantity from Seller’s Supply Plan for any Showing Month during the Delivery Period. Seller has failed to deliver the Product if (i) Purchaser has elected to submit the Product from the Shown Unit in its Resource Adequacy Plan and such submission is accepted by the CPUC and the CAISO but the Supply Plan and Resource Adequacy Plan are not matched in the CIRA Tool and are rejected by CAISO notwithstanding performance of Section 2.1(e) or (ii) Seller fails to submit the volume of Contract Quantity for any Showing Month in such amount as instructed by Purchaser for the applicable Showing Month. Purchaser will have received the Contract Quantity if (i) Seller’s Supply Plan is accepted by the CAISO for the applicable Showing Month or (ii) Seller complies with Purchaser’s instruction to withhold all or part of the Contract Quantity from Seller’s Supply Plan for the applicable Showing Month.
Seller will not have failed to deliver the Contract Quantity if Purchaser fails or chooses not to submit the Shown Unit and the Product in its Resource Adequacy Plan with the CPUC or CAISO.
(g) The Shown Unit must not have characteristics that would trigger the need for Purchaser or Seller to file an advice letter or other request for authorization with the CPUC or for Purchaser to make a compliance filing pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 380.1
(h) Excused Reductions in Unit EFC: Unless the Parties have designated this Section
2.1(h) as “Not applicable”, if the Product includes FCR Attributes, then Seller’s failure to deliver any of the Contract Quantity of FCR Attributes during the Delivery Period will be excused if the Unit experiences a reduction in Unit EFC after the Effective Date as determined by CAISO and Seller has provided notice of such reduction to Purchaser by the Notification Deadline for the applicable Showing Month. The extent to which Seller’s failure is excused will equal (i) the Contract Quantity of FCR Attributes for such day multiplied by (ii) the total amount (in MW) by which the Unit EFC was reduced since the Effective Date, divided by (iii) the Unit EFC as of the Effective Date. If the Unit experiences such a reduction in Unit EFC, then Seller may, but is not obligated to, provide the applicable part of the Contract Quantity of FCR Attributes for such day from the Shown Unit. 1 For example, contracts with Once-Through Cooling resources that terminate one year or less before the State Water Resources Control Board compliance deadline require an advice letter filing under CPUC Decision 12-04-046 DocuSign Envelope ID: A7B3CB04-C912-46CF-A5F0-B3F7E5072C67 DocuSign Envelope ID: 714C1A9E-CD35-4FB8-9A78-C7CA8E8875B5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F8584D96-006F-4037-8174-73CA94FC49D7 Appendix A Saavi

3 2.2 Purchaser’s Remedies for Seller’s Failure to Deliver Contract Quantity (a) If Seller fails to deliver any part of the Contract Quantity as required herein for any Showing Month, Seller is liable for damages pursuant to Section 21.3 of the WSPP Agreement, without reference to the word “hourly” therein. (b) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from any penalties, fines or costs, including Environmental Costs, assessed against Purchaser by the CPUC, CAISO or other Governmental Body resulting from Seller’s failure to deliver the Product or a Unit’s SC’s failure to timely or accurately submit Supply Plans in accordance with the Tariff and this Confirmation. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such penalties, fines or costs; provided, that in no event will Purchaser be required to use or change its utilization of its owned or controlled assets or market positions to minimize these penalties, fines or costs. If Seller fails to pay the foregoing penalties, fines or costs, or fails to reimburse Purchaser for those penalties, fines or costs, then, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, Purchaser may setoff and recoup those penalties, fines or costs against any future amounts it may owe to Seller under this Confirmation or the WSPP Agreement.
(c) If Seller is required to substitute or replace all or any portion of the Expected Contract Quantity in accordance with CPUC requirements and can meet these requirements, then the Expected Contract Quantity will be deemed to have been delivered.

2.3(a). For any such a resale, Resource Adequacy Plan of Purchaser as used herein will refer to the Resource Adequacy Plan of Subsequent Purchaser. Seller will, or will cause the Unit’s SC, to follow Purchaser’s instructions with respect to providing such resold Product to Subsequent Purchasers, to the extent such instructions are consistent with Seller’s obligations under this Confirmation. Seller will, and will cause the Unit’s SC, to take all commercially reasonable actions and execute all documents or instruments reasonably necessary to allow such Subsequent Purchasers to use such resold Product in a manner consistent with Purchaser’s rights under this Confirmation. If Purchaser incurs any liability to a Subsequent Purchaser due to the failure of Seller or the Unit’s SC to comply with this Confirmation, Seller will be liable to Purchaser for the same amounts Seller would have owed Purchaser under this Confirmation if Purchaser had not resold the Product.
(b) Purchaser will notify Seller in writing of any resale of Product and the Subsequent Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days before the Notification Deadline for the Showing Month. Purchaser will notify Seller of any subsequent changes or DocuSign Envelope ID: A7B3CB04-C912-46CF-A5F0-B3F7E5072C67 DocuSign Envelope ID: 714C1A9E-CD35-4FB8-9A78-C7CA8E8875B5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F8584D96-006F-4037-8174-73CA94FC49D7 Appendix A Saavi

DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
2.1 Sale and Delivery of Product
(a) For each Showing Month of the Delivery Period, Seller shall sell and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and receive from Seller, the Expected Contract Quantity of the Product from the Shown Unit(s). Seller’s obligation to deliver the Expected Contract Quantity of Product for each day of the Delivery Period is firm and will not be excused for any reason.
(b) Seller shall deliver the Expected Contract Quantity by submitting to CAISO in its Supply Plan the Shown Unit(s) and the characteristics of the Shown Unit(s) and Product for Purchaser, as further specified in Appendix B, all in compliance with this Confirmation.
(c) Seller shall cause all Supply Plans to meet and be filed in conformance with the requirements of the CPUC and the Tariff. Seller shall submit, or cause the Shown Unit’s SC to submit, on a timely basis with respect to each applicable Showing Month, Supply Plans in accordance with the Tariff and CPUC requirements to identify and confirm the Product delivered to Purchaser for each Showing Month of the Delivery Period. The total amount of Product identified and confirmed for each day of such Showing Month shall equal the Expected Contract Quantity. (d) Seller may sell and deliver Product from a Shown Unit that meets the requirements set forth in Appendix B. In no event shall a Shown Unit utilize coal or coal materials as a source of fuel or be a nuclear generating facility. A Shown Unit must be a specific resource that is connected directly to the CAISO controlled grid or be under the operational control of CAISO. A Shown Unit may not be an unspecified import. Seller shall identify the Shown Unit(s) and Expected Contract Quantity by providing Purchaser with the specific information contemplated in Appendix B no later than the Notification Deadline for the relevant Showing Month. (e) If CAISO rejects either the Supply Plan or the Resource Adequacy Plan with respect to any part of the Expected Contract Quantity for the Shown Unit(s) in any Showing Month, the Parties shall confer, make such corrections as are necessary for acceptance, and resubmit the corrected Supply Plan or Resource Adequacy Plan for validation before the applicable deadline for the Showing Month. (f) The Product is delivered and received when the CIRA Tool shows that the Supply Plan submitted in compliance with Purchaser’s instructions, including Purchaser’s instructions to withhold all or part of the Expected Contract Quantity from Seller’s Supply Plan for any Showing Month during the Delivery Period, has been accepted for the Product from the Shown Unit(s) by CAISO. Seller has failed to deliver the Product if (i) Purchaser has elected to submit the Product from the Shown Unit(s) in its Resource Adequacy Plan and such submission is accepted by the CPUC and Appendix A Clean Power Alliance
DocuSign DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: 318E2613 4A84BC06--C1D9 1CDA-4137 -4FDA-A90C -8D62-585123A4D2DC -BB45EFA2F38E 4 the CAISO but the Supply Plan and Resource Adequacy Plan are not matched in the CIRA Tool and are rejected by CAISO notwithstanding performance of Section
2.1(e) or (ii) Seller fails to submit the volume of Expected Contract Quantity for any Showing Month in such amount as instructed by Purchaser for the applicable Showing Month. Seller shall not have failed to deliver the Expected Contract Quantity if Purchaser fails or chooses not to submit the Shown Unit(s) and the Product in its Resource Adequacy Plan with the CPUC or CAISO. (g) The Shown Unit(s) must not have characteristics that would trigger the need for Purchaser or Seller to file an advice letter or other request for authorization with the CPUC.1
2.2 Adjustments to ContractQuantity
If Seller is providing Contingent Firm RA Product, Seller’s obligation to deliver the Contract Quantity for each day of each Showing Month may be reduced at Seller’s option by the amount of any Planned Outages which exist with respect to any portion of the Unit during the applicable Showing Month for the applicable days of such Planned Outages; provided, (i) Seller notifies Purchaser by the Notification Deadline applicable to that Showing Month of the amount of Product from the Unit that Purchaser may include in Purchaser’s Compliance Showings for each day of that month as a result of such Planned Outage, and (ii) such reduction is able to be reflected on the Supply Plansin accordance with the Tariff.
In the event Seller is unable to provide the Contract Quantity for any portion of a Showing Month because of a Planned Outage of a Unit, Seller has the option, but not the obligation, to provide Product for such portions of such Showing Month from Replacement Units, provided Seller provides and identifiessuch Replacement Unitsin accordance with Section 2.3.
2.3 Seller’s Option To Provide Alternate Capacity
If Seller is unable to provide the full Contract Quantity for each day of each Showing Month for any reason, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 2.2, or Seller desires to provide a portion of the Contract Quantity for any day of a Showing Month from a different generating unit other than the Unit, then Seller may, at no cost to Purchaser, provide Purchaser with replacement Product from one or more Replacement Units in an amount such that the total amount of Product provided to Purchaser from the Unit and any Replacement Unit(s) for each day of the Showing Month is not more than the Contract Quantity, provided that in each case:
(a) Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of its intent to provide Alternate Capacity and shall identify the Replacement Unit(s) from which such Alternate Capacity shall be provided before the Notification Deadline for such Showing Month; and (b) The designation of any Replacement Unit(s) by Seller shall be subject to Purchaser’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 1 For example, contracts with Once-Through Cooling resources that terminate one year or less before the State Water Resources Control Board compliance deadline require an advice letter filing under CPUC Decision 12-04-046 Appendix A Clean Power Alliance
DocuSign DocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: 318E2613 4A84BC06--C1D9 1CDA-4137 -4FDA-A90C -8D62-585123A4D2DC -BB45EFA2F38E 5 Once Seller has identified in writing any Replacement Units that meet the requirements of this Section 2.3, and Purchaser has approved such Replacement Units as consistent with this Confirmation, then any such Replacement Units shall be deemed a Unit for purposes of this Confirmation for that Showing Month. Purchaser’s approval of a Replacement Unit as to a given Showing Month shall not be construed as approval of such Replacement Unit for any subsequent Showing Month.
2.4 Planned Outages
As of the Confirmation Effective Date, Seller and Purchaser have agreed to all Planned Outages as specified in Appendix D (“Planned Outage Schedule”) for all relevant Showing Months for the following calendar year, or until the end of the Delivery Period, whichever is shorter.

2.5 Purchaser’s Remedies for Seller’s Failure to Deliver Expected Contract Quantity (a) If Seller fails to deliver any part of the Expected Contract Quantity as required herein for any Showing Month, Seller shall be liable for damages pursuant to Section 21.3 of the WSPP Agreement, without reference to the word “hourly” therein.
(b) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from any penalties, fines or costs, including Environmental Costs, assessed against Purchaser by the CPUC, CAISO or other Governmental Body resulting from Seller’s failure to deliver the Product or a Shown Unit’s SC’s failure to timely or accurately submit Supply Plans in accordance with the Tariff and this Confirmation. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such penalties, fines or costs; provided, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to use or change its utilization of its owned or controlled assets or market positions to minimize these penalties, fines or costs. If Seller fails to pay the foregoing penalties, fines or costs, or fails to reimburse Purchaser for those penalties, fines or costs, then, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, Purchaser may setoff and recoup those penalties, fines or costs against any future amounts it may owe to Seller under this Confirmation or the WSPP Agreement.
2.6 Purchaser’s Re-Sale of Product
(a) Purchaser may re-sell all or part of the Product; provided that any such re-sale must not increase Seller’s obligations hereunder other than as set forth in this Section
2.6(a). For any such a resale, the Resource Adequacy Plan of Purchaser as used Appendix A Clean Power Alliance
