City of Fresno, a California Municipal Corporation
FFP BTM Solar, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Solar
Agreement.

On August 1, 2021, the Parties entered into an Energy
Services Agreement - Solar, Fresno Yosemite
International Airport, for the installation and operation of a solar photovoltaic system at the Premises for the purpose of providing Energy Services (Agreement).

Council authorized the Director of Aviation, or
designee, to approve any changes to the Power
Purchase Agreement rates and energy storage
system size, up to the maximum amount
authorized in the Agreement, as well as to
execute any subsequent documents,
instruments, estoppel and
acknowledgement certificates, etc. related to
Provider’s financing of the solar and energy storage
systems.

Since execution of the Agreement, the Project
schedule has been impacted by interconnection and
related utility coordination activities, including required sys
tem upgrades and associated timing
considerations. As contemplated under the
Agreement, certain development and construction
milestones are subject to adjustment due to factors
outside of Provider’s reasonable control.

So
lar System Size/
Est

Production/Early
Termination Fee:

P
ursuant to Schedule 1 and Schedule 4 of the
Agreement, the Solar System Size set forth in
Schedule 1 is an estimate of approximately how many
kW DC are expected to be generated by such System,
and the Estimated Annual Production set forth in
Schedule 2 of the Agreement is an estimate of
approximately how many kWh are expected to be
generated annually by such System.

The Solar System Size and Estimated Annual
Production were calculated on the Effective Date.

Under the Agreement, the Solar System Size and
Estimated Annual Production are subject to change
prior to or about the Commercial Operation Date based
on the actual System size and design. Further,
Schedule 3 sets forth the Early Termination Fee which
is based on the System Size as of the Effective Date
and is subject to change upon System Size change.

As provided in the Agreement, Provider has calculated
updated system sizes, production estimates, and early
termination fees for the System based on the final
designs of the System and desires to amend the
Agreement to reflect the final system size, production
estimates, and early termination fees.

Therefore, the Solar System Size referenced in
Schedule 1 shall be replaced in part, Schedule 2
replaced in part, and the Early Termination Fee set
forth in Schedule 3 and the Estimated Annual
Production Table set forth in Schedule 4 shall be
replaced in their entirety with the tables set forth in Exh
ibit A a
ttached herein, to reflect the Final System
Size, Energy Services Payment, Early Termination
Fee, and updated Estimated Annual Production.

Mile
stone Dates: Th
e Parties desire to update the milestone dates to
reflect the current Project schedule and anticipated
prog
ression of remaining work. Section 5.1 and 5.2
shall be replaced in their entirety with the milestones set forth in Exhibit
A.
